Labayyak Ya Syria Labayyak!!

Islam Prohibits Murder and Terrorism

2:32.  On that account: We ordained
For the Children of Israel
That if any one slew
A person—unless it be
For murder or for spreading
Mischief in the land—
It would be as if
He slew the whole people:
And if any one saved a life,
It would be as if he saved
The life of the whole people.
Then although there came
To them Our Apostles
With Clear Signs, yet,
Even after that, many
Of them continued to commit
Excesses in the land.

Violence and aggression have plagued humanity since Cabel or Cain killed his brother.

27. Recite to them the truth
Of the story of the two sons
Of Adam. Behold! they each
Presented a sacrifice (to God):
It was accepted from one,
But not from the other.
Said the latter: "Be sure
I will slay thee." "Surely,"
Said the former, "God
Doth accept of the sacrifice
Of those who are righteous.

28. "If thou dost stretch thy hand
Against me, to slay me,
It is not for me to stretch
My hand against thee
To slay thee: for I do fear
God, the Cherisher of the Worlds.

29.  "For me, I intend to let
Thee draw on thyself
My sin as well as thine,
For thou wilt be among
The Companions of the Fire,
And that is the reward
Of those who do wrong."

30.  The (selfish) soul of the other
Led him to the murder
Of his brother: he murdered
Him, and became (himself)
One of the lost ones.

In the Deen of Islam, the Complete Path of Peace, murder is a hadd crime.  The hadud crimes are those which so exceed the limits set by Allah SWT on our behavior that they warrant punishments that are prescribed by Allah SWT Himself, and are not at the discretion of the human judge.  Murder, then, is one of the most heinous crimes, what we might call an egregious felony.  When it comes to individual murder, Allah (SWT) has allowed discretion to the family of the deceased.  They may invoke the death penalty, or they may ask for the payment of diya and exile or imprisonment for the murderer.  But when it comes to killing by a group, then Allah (SWT) has called this hiraba, and has proscribed a severe penalty.

33. The punishment of those
Who wage war against God
And His Apostle, and strive
With might and main
For mischief through the land
Is: execution, or crucifixion,
Or the cutting off of hands
And feet from opposite sides,
Or exile from the land:
That is their disgrace
In this world, and
A heavy punishment is theirs
In the Hereafter;

34. Except for those who repent
Before they fall
Into your power:
In that case, know
That God is Oft-forgiving,
Most Merciful.

Muslims are forbidden to wage war, to cause tumult and oppression and to create fitnah.  Allah SWT says the fitnah is worse than Qatl, fitnah akbar min al qatl, or in another occasion, fitnah ashdad min al qatal. Here Allah tells us that tumult and oppression are worse than killing.  Hiraba is something that can be committed by individuals as well as groups.  Individuals commit hiraba through brigandry, highway robbery, and terroristic acts.  Groups may also engage in terroristic acts towards other individuals or groups.  And even the State can engage in such terrorism when it grossly oppresses and murders its own citizens.  All of these acts are haram because they are expressly forbidden as exceeding the limits of Allah SWT and are therefore, hiraba, but they also violate the general overarching Maqaasid al-Shariah, which includes protection of Deen, of life, of property, of reason and thought, and of honor, and lineage, as well as the three great Maqaasid al-Deen, freedom, equal dignity, and justice.

Islam Commands Justice and Commands Striving Against Injustice

As part of meeting their obligations to establish and uphold justice, Muslims are commanded to strive against injustice.

35. O ye who believe!
Do your duty to God,
Seek the means
Of approach unto Him,
And strive with might
And main in His cause:
That ye may prosper.

And


38. Say to the Unbelievers,
If (now) they desist (from Unbelief),
Their past would be forgiven them;
But if they persist, the punishment
Of those before them is already
(A matter of warning for them).
39. And fight them on
Until there is no more
Tumult or oppression,
And there prevail
Justice and faith in God
Altogether and everywhere;
But if they cease oppression and war, then verily God
Doth see all that they do.

The path of Islam is the path of justice, equal dignity, and freedom.  Allah SWT reminds us that He is al-Adl – the Just and He will not treat us, his Creation, with the least injustice.

Oppression in Religion is the worst form of Injustice

Allah SWT says in the Qur’an al Hakim:

 

2:256 There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejecteth false deities and believeth in Allah hath grasped a firm handhold which will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower. 

Islam Commands Freedom of Belief

In order for human beings to exercise our free will, and chose to surrender to Allah SWT, our Creator and Preserver, we must have the freedom to seek knowledge about Allah, to discuss and consider the claims of religious understanding that arise in the world, and to make a conscious choice to turn toward Allah SWT in surrender, in Islam, or to chose to turn some other direction away from Him.  To violently oppress others of other faiths is expressly prohibited by the Qur’an.  Allah SWT tells us to speak to them in a goodly way and not to insult them or their beliefs, so that they will not insult our beliefs. 

Allah SWT also warns us about violence and killing toward one another, toward those who profess belief.  Ikhtilaf or difference of opinion is permissible in Islam, and we must respect each others’ opinions, especially when they are based on dalil or reasoned arguments, evidences from Qur’an and Sunnah, and other authoritative sources.  We may differ on whether a particular source is valid or authentic, but we must respect those who do hold such evidences to be valid and authentic, even if we do feel they are.  Ikhtilaf al Minhaj or differences in methodology often leads to differences in fiqh and belief.  Who are we to say, 1400 years after the fact which opinion, backed as it is by a reasonable dalil, is correct.  The Sunnah was only truly known to the Sahaba.  We only have reports.

We cannot know the Sunnah today, for we are not in direct contact with RasulAllah, SAW.  We depend upon reports and reports can be inaccurate, written down incorrectly, or even faked by people with agendas.  Although we have tried our best to determine how to evaluate a report, these methods are not perfect.  For example, Sunni books of Ilm al-Rijal exclude and curse Shia narrators, and Shia books of Ilm al-Rijal exclude and curse Sunni narrators.  Basing the validity of a text on Ilm al-Rijal is therefore, a very poor method, fraught with potential error.  Far better is it to use Imam Al-Bukhari’s criteria for judging the matin by its consistency with the Qur’an, reasonableness, lack of sectarian bias and degree of notoriety of the report (mutawatir or mashur).

A believer is clearly defined in the Qur’an as one who professes that there is no one worthy of worship other than Allah, that He has sent prophets, including Muhammad ibn Abdullah, and that he has submitted himself to Allah in Islam by professing this witness (shahada), praying salat, paying zakat, fasting Ramadan and striving the make Hajj, if he is able.  Any one who professes these five pillars and the six pillars of Iman which are belief in Allah as One, with no partners; in Angels, in Books, in Prophets, in Accountability in the Hereafter, and in Allah’s Dominion and Decree is a Muslim and their blood in inviolate. 

• 4: 92 It is not for a believer to kill a believer unless (it be) by mistake. He who hath killed a believer by mistake must set free a believing slave, and pay the blood- money to the family of the slain, unless they remit it as a charity. If he (the victim) be of a people hostile unto you, and he is a believer, then (the penance is) to set free a believing slave. And if he cometh of a folk between whom and you there is a covenant, then the blood-money must be paid unto his folk and (also) a believing slave must be set free. And whoso hath not the wherewithal must fast two consecutive months. A penance from Allah. Allah is Knower, Wise.
• 93 Whoso slayeth a believer of set purpose, his reward is hell for ever. Allah is wroth against him and He hath cursed him and prepared for him an awful doom.
• 94 O ye who believe! When ye go forth in the sabeel of Allah, be careful to discriminate, and say not unto one who offereth you peace: "Thou art not a believer," seeking the chance profits of this life (so that ye may despoil him). With Allah are plenteous spoils. Even thus (as he now is) were ye before; but Allah hath since then been gracious unto you. Therefore take care to discriminate. Allah is ever Informed of what ye do.

And not only the blood of our fellow Muslims is inviolate, but so is the blood of all who seek to worship Allah SWT.  We are commanded to leave alone monks, priests and rabbis who seek only the worship Allah.  We are prohibited from destroying places of worship.  We are to provide protection to the Ahl al Kitab, and this is evidenced by the Dustur al Madina, where the Prophet SAW made a constitution protecting the rights of all people in Madina, Muslims, Jews and even Pagans, as long as they upheld their agreements as well.

The Arab Spring

As we all know, the Middle East in currently experiencing an awakening.  Our youth have grown tired with the rule of old men long immersed in stagnant politics and tolerance for oppressive regimes.  We have seen the fall of several long-time tyrants, men who sucked the blood of their countrymen and women for untold years.  However, other tyrants still remain.  We have seen these type of rises and falls through out history.  The great book, Al-Muqqadimah by Ibn Khaldun recounts the history and sociology of just such cycles of revolution and repression.  It is a shame, that as Muslims, we have not learned much from this great thinker.  Only Western minds seem willing to study the lessons he shared so long ago.

Now our brothers and sisters in Syria are suffering tremendous oppression.  What began as peaceful demonstrations has turned into bloody repeats of Karbalaa.  Our brothers and sisters and children are being butchered just as Hussein ibn Ali, RAA, and the family of our beloved Prophet SAW, were slaughtered over 1300 years ago, and by the same caliber of person, a person who flaunts religious laws, and kills fellow Muslims without hesitation or excuse.

What makes matters even worse is that the tyrant of our time masquerades as a descendant of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, the beloved baba of Hussein (RAA).  The legacy of the Bani Abdul Muttalib, and of Imam Ali (KW) and Hussein ibn Ali (RAA) is a legacy of standing up for justice and striving against oppression, not perpetrating it.  

 Who are the true Ahl Al Bayt?

Allah has made it clear that no matter the hereditary relationship of a person to a prophet, that person is not of the “ahl” or family of that prophet if he commits zhulm.  Allah SWT tells us about the story of Nuh (AS) and his family.  Nuh (AS) and his family strove hard against ignorance and injustice, but finally, after 950 years of preaching, Allah SWT decided that He had given the people of Nuh enough time to respond, and they had not.  He decided to bring the flood and destroy the wrongdoing people.  However, He also told Nuh (AS) to prepare the ark so that the believers would survive the devastation.  As the flood waters rose, the believers entered the ark along with the pairs of creatures.  But Nuh’s son remained behind. 

 

11:36. It was revealed to Noah:
"None of thy People will believe
Except those who have believed
Already! So grieve no longer
Over their (evil) deeds.

37. "But construct an Ark
Under Our eyes and Our
Inspiration, and address Me
No (further) on behalf
Of those who are in sin:
For they are about to be
Overwhelmed (in the Flood)."

And He Says;
11: 40. At length, behold!
There came Our Command,
And the fountains of the earth
Gushed forth! We said:
"Embark therein, of each kind
Two, male and female,
And your family—except
Those against whom the Word
Has already gone forth,—
And the Believers."
But only a few
Believed with him.
41. So he said: "Embark ye
On the Ark,
In the name of God,
Whether it move
Or be at rest!
For my Lord is, be sure,
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful!"
42. So the Ark floated
With them on the waves
(Towering) like mountains,
And Noah called out
To his son, who had
Separated himself (from the rest):
"O my son! embark
With us, and be not
With the Unbelievers!"
43. The son replied: "I will
Betake myself to some mountain:
It will save me from
The water." Noah said:
"This day nothing can save,
From the Command of God,
Any but those on whom
He hath mercy!"—
And the waves came
Between them, and the son
Was among those
Overwhelmed in the Flood.
44. Then the word went forth:
"O earth! swallow up
Thy water, and O sky!
Withhold (thy rain)!"
And the water abated,
And the matter was ended.
The Ark rested on Mount
Jūdī, and the word
Went forth: "Away
With those who do wrong!"
45. And Noah called upon
His Lord, and said:
"O my Lord! surely
My son is of my family!
And Thy promise is true,
And Thou art
The Justest of Judges!"

46. He said: "O Noah!
He is not of thy family:
For his conduct is unrighteous.
So ask not of Me
That of which thou
Hast no knowledge!
I give thee counsel, lest
Thou act like the ignorant!"

47. Noah said: "O my Lord!
I do seek refuge with Thee,
Lest I ask Thee for that
Of which I have no knowledge.
And unless Thou forgive me
And have Mercy on me,
I should indeed be lost!"

Allah SWT teaches us in these ayaat that the household of a prophet does not include those whose conduct is ghair salih – other than righteous.  The household of a prophet, that prophet’s “ahl al bait,” is not just hereditary, but is by conduct, righteous conduct – amala salih.

Nuh (AS) makes du’a in Surah Nuh to forgive himself and all his “ahl.”  He says:

28. "O my Lord! Forgive me,
My parents, all who
Enter my house in Faith,
And (all) believing men
And believing women:
And to the wrong-doers
Grant Thou no increase
But in Perdition!"

Nuh AS asks Allah SWT to forgive all who enter his house as believers – mu’min, men and women.  As for those that are wrongdoers, they are not of those who enter his house.  They are only in perdition. 

Certainly, not only has Bashar al-Jabbar forfeited all rights to the legacy of the family of Abdul Muttalib through his conduct that is less than righteous, but he has committed the most heinous crime imaginable.  He has set himself up as a god.  He has killed children for failing to make sajdah on his likeness!  Istaghfirullah!!

Firawn did this long ago – and Prophet Musa AS warned him.  Allah SWT has reserved a special torment in hell for those who set themselves up as gods – as rivals to Allah SWT Himself. 

May Allah SWT guide us all to the truth of His Deen and the truth of putting our faith into action, the truth of how to stand against this zhulm and the truth of how to correctly establish justice upon this earth.

The Legacy of Violence

 

For how many years have we seen violence in the Middle East and in the so-called Muslim World.  While it is true that many of these conflicts have been justified by oppression by outside forces, colonial powers and other jabbar, they have achieved nothing.  Not a single armed conflict in any Muslim land has been successful.  Although we may admire the heroism, the perseverance, the tenacity and strength of the oppressed people, not a single armed conflict or resistance movement has gained territory, managed to drive out the oppressors or managed to return their land to a state of peace.

Until Tunisia, Egypt and Libya.  The youth achieved real and lasting victory against jabbar not through violence, but through waging peace.  They waged real jihad – guarding each others property, protecting buildings from looters and criminal elements, even taking away trash and cleaning the city.  They achieved victory by praying together in the streets, by joining hands and getting beyond tribal affiliations, village affiliations and other things which divide humanity.  They achieved victory by following the actual Sunnah of the Prophet – who created an Ummah – free of social and political subdivisions and sources of fitnah, who called us to action – to put our faith into action and not just spew rhetoric and slogans.  And the leaders of this victory were there in the streets, just like our Prophet and Sahabi, who led in the effort.  They did not shout and scream and incite people to violence and then retreat to holes of safety while their followers fought and died.  They achieved victory through love not hate; through caring for each other, treating each other as equals, leaving behind the kibriyya of the group identity and adopting the identity of One Ummah. 

In Syria too, the people sought to wage peace, but the brutal response by Bashar al-Zhalim overwhelmed the people.  He has tried to crush their will, but he has only strengthened their resolve.  The West stands by, allowing political fears to overcome ethics and human feeling.  But these are men, women and children, and they are dying in the thousands.  How can we sit by and watch!

But what can we do?  Violent warfare is not working.  It has not worked in a long time – as long as we have had weapons that do not allow the person about the face death the dignity of making their peace with Allah.  Guns, bombs, modern weapons kill from a safe distance.  And the victim will have no time to pray, no time to take the Shahadah, no time or even awareness of his eminent demise, no time to ask Allah for forgiveness.  Is that just? 

So how did our beloved Prophet SAW handle the situation when violence only led to a uncomfortable stalemate?  He marched on Hudaibiyyah.  Thousands of men, women and children marching unarmed on Makkah!  It frightened the Quraish so much they signed a peace treaty that eventually led to the opening of Makkah – the fatah Makkah.

Our history as believers is replete with examples of our struggle against injustice.  We are reminded of the injustice of Firawn and the freedom gained by Musa AS for his people.  We are reminded of the injustice of Yazeed and the struggle of Imam Hussein (KW) to overcome this injustice. 

Some of us reenact the martyrdom of Imam Hussein and his family (KW).  But how should we remember our chief of martyrs?   Instead of composing beautiful latmiyyah for Hussein, or flogging our backs out of over a thousand years of remorse, why don’t we respond to his cry, the cry of the people of Syria today – hal min nasiriyin yasurna?!  Labayyak Ya Hussein – Labayyak Ya Ahl al Syria - Labayyak Allahuma Labayyak – We are here to respond to Your call to establish justice and to strive against oppression.    Sunni, Shia, no matter what Madhdaahib, or school of thought, we are charged by Allah to be shuhada’a. 

The Real Meaning of Shaheed

What is it to be shaheed? Our great Shahidna, Sayyed Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr (RA) reminded us of the correct governance prescribed by Allah SWT through his Rasul.  He carefully taught us of wilayat al ummah, the governance of the ummah, Islamic Shura Democracy.  This three branch system consists of the representatives of the people, their na’ibs and amirs, chosen through consultation and democratic vote of the represented and governed not by majoritarian tyranny, but by Shura consensus, where even if we hold differing positions, we can come together to craft a position that all people can at least be comfortable with, as did the Prophet SAW and his Sahabi when they agreed to go out to Uhud, a Shura that is not ijma or unanimity, but mediated, crafted, inclusive, and considerate of the opinions of ALL stakeholders in society;  the independent justice system of fuqaha’ and Qadis, and the Shuhada’a.  Imam Baqir al-Sadr said that the Shuhada’a should consist of the Ahl al Bayt and Shiatahum.  The Qur’an states:

143. Thus have We made of you
An Ummat justly balanced,
That ye might be witnesses
Over the nations,
And the Apostle a witness
Over yourselves;
And We appointed the Qibla
To which thou wast used,
Only to test those who followed
The Apostle from those
Who would turn on their heels
(From the Faith). Indeed it was
(A change) momentous, except
To those guided by God.
And never would God
Make your faith of no effect.
For God is to all people
Most surely full of kindness,
Most Merciful.

 Therefore, Allah SWT us that through out human history, there have been two lines, the line of general humanity, and the line of prophets.  We also know that Prophet SAW is the khatam al anbiyyah, the seal and last of the prophets.  So after him, the witnesses will be in his line – his ahl al bayt and shiatih, those who fit the criteria of being his descendants, not only by heredity but by conduct, and those who follow this path and make this deeper commitment to be a shaheed.

What is it to be a shaheed?  The usual translation is either a witness, or a martyr. In considering the emphasis many put on martyrdom, it is important to point out that the Prophet has told us that 'When two Muslims fight (meet) each other with their swords, both the murderer as well as the murdered will go to the Hell-fire.' I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! It is all right for the murderer but what about the murdered one?' Allah's Apostle replied, "He surely had the intention to kill his companion."

This is the reason Abel tells his brother Cabel that he has not intention to kill him and that Cabel will draw Abel’s sin onto himself when he kills his brother.

When we desire to be a martyr, we are in fact wishing that the other person kill us.  But to be a shaheed is to be a witness to the truth, to speak out when others are not following the correct path, to enjoin the good and forbid the evil, and if called upon, to be willing to die in support of Allah and His truth.  This is the true meaning of “To Live Like Muhammad, to Strive Like Ali and to Die Like Hussein.”   For to be a shaheed,, we must live our lives in the pattern provided to us by Rasul Allah SWT, to follow his Sunnah in all of our actions, and to live as the best of men and women.  For to be a shaheed, we must strive to put our faith into action, to make jihad, for this is the real meaning of jihad, to strive in the path of Allah, in putting our faith into action and not just mouthing pleasant or wise words.  For to be a shaheed, we must be willing to give our all of ourselves to the One who created us, Allah SWT.   Like Ibrahim, we must be willing to sacrifice everything, for all we have comes from Allah SWT and nothing comes from ourselves except our obedience, our submission.  To Die Like Hussein means to give all of ourselves to Allah SWT – both our death and more importantly, our life. 

Imam Baqir al Sadr (Rahim Allah) said,  A being is not measured except by what he gives to his ummah of his presence, his life and his thought.”  Rasul Allah SAW said that the only thing that distinguishes us is taqwa.  Taqwa comes from the root q-w-y- indicating strength and protection.  Taqwa is the firm hand hold mentioned by Allah SWT:

256. Let there be no compulsion
In religion: Truth stands out
Clear from Error: whoever
Rejects Evil and believes
In God hath grasped
The most trustworthy
Hand-hold, that never breaks.
And God heareth
And knoweth all things.

Taqwa is to cling to Allah SWT like a baby clings to its mother, with a “deadly” grip, for to let go is to surely die.

Shaheedina Baqir al-Sadr reminds us to give of our lives, and our efforts.  He mentions giving of “fikrihu” “ one’s thought.”  This includes our internal life, but also our external life.  We should give of the gifts Allah SWT has given us.  These include our skills and abilities.  For Sadrna, this was his ability to think, to reason, to teach and to contemplate the highest forms of knowledge.  For others, his ability could be business acumen, technical skill or scientific testing; her ability could be providing medical care, teaching youth or providing support to our emotions and efforts.  May Allah SWT bless Shaheedina’s son, Ja’afar for he has truly understood the meaning of these words.  He could have rested on the laurels of his father’s name and become an Ayatullah or Marja, but instead he assessed his own abilities and sacrificed the easy way out for a life in which he has committed himself to service of public in the political arena.  May Allah SWT continue to guide him and reward all of his efforts.

But Imam al-Sadr also mentions “Mawjudah” Presence.  What is this?  I admit I have not always been present.  My thoughts drift off, I day dream of what I could do or what the world should be like.  I sometimes spend more time dreaming than doing.  Perhaps it is compensation for feeling powerless, but Shaheedna spent every waking moment writing, sharing his thought, sharing his skills with this Ummah.  Have you ever seen a picture of him without his book?  Without his misbah?  Without a smile?  May Allah SWT reward him with Jennatul Firdaws.

He was always present.  He accomplished so much is his short 47 years because he was always present.  I have lived 4 more years than he, yet I feel I have accomplished so little – mostly because I have not always been present.  Though studying the life of this great shaheed, I understand what the Buddhists call living in the Now; what my old mentor, Dr. Smith meant when he said, “ Now Harder!”

So now I vow to Now Harder, to give of mawjudiyy, hayatiy, fikriy, and jihadiy, jihad in its true meaning of diligent striving in the path of Allah, putting our faith into action.  I vow to support the people of Syria in their quest for freedom from tyranny, from oppression.  I call upon all the ahl al bayt to join in this quest.  Loyalty to friends is important, there is not doubt, but when those so called friends disobey Allah SWT and follow the path of Hizbulshaytan, then we must enjoin what is right and forbid the evil they are doing.  The Prophet SAW reminds us that we must support each other when we do good and when we do evil.  When asked about this he explained, that to support one another when we do good is to encourage one another when we behave in a good manner, and to support one another when we do evil is to remind our erring brother and give him sound advice. 

Please brothers in Islam, children of the house, be the first to uphold the three great principles of Islam – Justice, Equality and Freedom!!!  If we have acted in a certain way in the past, Allah SWT will consider our intentions and we hope that He will see that we have always strove for justice, and if we need to change our position in order to continue to do so, then we should do so as quickly as we can to show that justice is always our goal.  Circumstances change, but our commitment to Islam should never change, except to grow stronger.  May Allah SWT always guide us to the straight path, the sirat al-mustaqim.

Let us all vow to Now Harder – Let us all vow to overcome injustice, to strive against this tyrant, Bashar, and Free the people of Syria!!

Labayyak Ya Ahl al Syria, Labayyak Allahuma Labayyak!

 

In the time of the Prophet, the Sahabi made baiyyah to Allah SWT and to His Rasul (SAW).  They made a commitment also to each other – the Ummah of Allah. 

We speak the words of the Kalimah – the Shahada – the Witness, but how many of us have actually pledged our hearts, our minds, our lives to Allah – to His Rasul, Muhammad SAW – and to His Ummah!

Without this surrendering of our souls to Allah and commitment to following the Sunnah of Rasul Allah, and the commitment to coming together as One Ummah, we are not Muslims – those who are at Peace with Allah.  We may not have to go out in the streets to gain our freedom, we may not have to face guns and bombs, but we can join our brothers and sisters all over this globe in one Ummah of Islam and make a commitment to follow the true teachings of Allah and His Prophet, putting our faith into action by watching our behavior, staying clear of sins and using the tool of tawbah repentance to gain closeness to Allah, and by helping the less fortunate in our community, working together with other people of faith to strive against immorality and forms of oppression.  This is the legacy of our Prophet SAW.    His Sunnah is surrender to Allah, is striving in the sabeel of Allah – putting our faith into action with only Allah’s pleasure as our intention, our niyyat, for no selfish reason – for Allah alone – for inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiuun.

Oh Allah I give you my life, I give you my love, I give you my soul!!

Bayyatu Allah Wa Bayyatu Rasul Allah Wa Bayyatu Ummatullah al-waahidah!

Allah Akbar!
