Part 2: Selected speeches by Islamic Expert ABUL A’LA MAUDUDI.

The second part in a series of speeches, writings by Maududi.  In keeping with the standards of this Blog, I post here the Islamic jurisprudence in support of Jihad, from the pen and mouth of an eminent Islamic scholar, namely Seyed Abul Maududi.  Causes of Misunderstanding about the Holy War: In any case, this is a part of political tactics. But from a purely scholastic standpoint when we analyse the causes due to which the red nature of the ‘Holy War for the Cause of God’ has become difficult to understand not only for non- Muslims but Muslims themselves, we discover two major and basic misconceptions. The first misunderstanding is that they consider Islam to be a religion in the conventional sense of the term ‘religion’. The second misconception is that they take Muslims to be a ‘Nation’ in the technical sense of this term. These two misunderstandings have not only mixed up the concept of Jihād’ but have changed the picture of Islam as a whole and ha...

  Maududi; 25 September 1903 – 22 September 1979) was an Islamist philosopher, jurist, journalist and imam. Syed Abul A'la Maududi. In the Name of Allah, the Merciful and the Most Beneficent  The first in a series of speeches and literature by Maududi. The word ‘ Jihād’ is commonly translated into English as ‘the Holy War’ and for a long while now the word has been interpreted so that it has become synonymous with a ‘mania of religion’. The word ‘ Jihād ’ conjures up the vision of a marching band of religious fanatics with savage beards and fiery eyes brandishing drawn swords and attacking the infidels wherever they meet them and pressing them under the edge of the sword for the recital of Kalima. The Artists have drawn this picture with masterly strokes and have inscribed these words under it in bold letters:  ‘The History of this Nation is a tale of Bloodshed’. The irony is that the painters are no other than those benefactors of ...

  New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s Zabīh Allah Mujāhid: “Remarks Concerning Trump’s Strategy”.  Finally, the American president Trump announced his strategy and has called for the continued presence of occupying forces while labeling Afghanistan as a threat to America. It seems America is not yet ready to end the longest war in its history. Instead of trying to understand ground realities, they still arrogantly believe in their force and might. However, the Afghans have been tested by the American forces over the past sixteen years. So long as a single American soldier remains in our homeland and American leaders continue treading the path of war, we shall also sustain our Jihad against them with lofty spirits, absolute determination, and additional firmness. Freeing the land of Afghanistan from the American occupation is our religious obligation and national duty. We shall remain true to this duty so long as souls remain in our bodies....

Ansar Ghazwat ul Hind. In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. All praise is due to Allah Azza wa Jalla. And blessings and peace be upon the Prophet who said: “ There are two groups of my Ummah whom Allah will protect from the fire: a group who will conquer India and a group who will be with Issa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him)”. Today we announce from the peaks of Pir Panchal that jihad e-Kashmir is free from the influence of all Taghooti (tyrannical)   agencies.  And a new jihadi Jamaat ul-Hindi has been formed. The formation of Jamaat ul-Hindi will inshallah safe guard the jihad in Kashmir and with Allah’s help, we will take this jihad to the farthest corner of India, and this jihad, with Allah’s permission, will be the sour of victory in Kashmir and India. Ansar Ghazwat ul-Hindi is not on any different manhaj other than a vow of the sons of the Ummah that truth will be victorious. Ansar Ghazwat ul-Hindi is part of the same message that...
