The Prophet (SAW) said:

“He whom death overtakes while he is engaged in acquiring knowledge with a view to reviving Islam with the help of it, there will be one degree between him and the Prophets in Paradise.”

[Tirmidhi]

Acquirement of knowledge in terms of the life and death issues is mandatory, more so when the attack on Islam consists not only the shedding of Muslim blood, which is sacred in itself, but also encompassing a refocused attack on the jugular vein of Islam; the Islamic Aqeedah.

Allah (SWT) revealed the Deen so it could conquer all other ways. Our relationship to our afterlife is linked inexcusably to the actions we undertake in this life. Allah’s Deen gives us solutions for all of life’s problems. The Creator has also revealed a system of how to execute the Divine solutions, and a methodology of how to work for the revival of Islam in the case of its absence materially within the realm of life in the form of a state. Allah (SWT) has also revealed the criterion of passing judgement on how we deal with our enemies, the disbelievers, who are working to destroy our Islam.

Our decline, the destruction of our state, its perpetual absence in the realm of life and the disbelievers successfully executing their plans in our lands is a result of the Ummah collectively not comprehending Islam correctly and not passing judgement on the current affairs on the basis of Islam. Thus, in consideration of the ferocious attack on our system of life, ‘acquiring knowledge with a view to reviving Islam with the help of it’ is mandatory. Our salvation lies in studying the Deen of Islam for what it is in terms of a belief which provides a Divine system, and proceeding alongside the correct political structure to assist in foiling the plots and plans of our enemies and establishing the state of Islam in the Muslim world.

“So do not become weak, nor be sad, and you will be superior (in victory) if you are indeed (true) believers.”

[Surah Al-E-Imran, 3:139]
