“It’s time to learn the glory of Jihad,” says a Michigan-based cleric.
A well-known Islamic teacher in Michigan is calling for all faithful Muslims to join in on the Jihad! This cleric, who I name below, goes on to say, “It’s time for mothers to nurse their infants with the love of jihad and the ambition of wanting to become a mujahid and a shaheed[3].”
He is essentially calling on all Muslims to get off the sidelines and join in on Jihad. The Holy War, and its culmination is drawing to a series of climactic events. Hold on, buckle up, and get ready. Things are changing. Perhaps the days of quasi-peace are coming to a close.
In the Bible, the Lord and His prophets have written extensively about the war between God and Satan. Satan, of course, is a created being. Far inferior to the limitless power of the Almighty. But pride makes fools of all of us. And Satan is full of pride if nothing else.
From the earliest passages of scripture to the final chapters and verses, the epic storyline unfolds. Lives and souls have been lost for eternity. There have been many intense spiritual confrontations, noted in the scriptures. Most are familiar with the story of Noah’s flood. But few are familiar with the clash of spiritual beings that took place and led up to the complete and necessary cleansing of the earth.
We find that in the often ignored passage in Genesis Chapter 6.
Genesis 6:1
Genesis 6:2
The sons of God saw that these daughters were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.
Genesis 6:3
Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with human beings forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”
Genesis 6:4
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days – and also afterward – when the sons of God went to the daughters of the human beings and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
Genesis 6:5
The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.
And now for a friendly Jihad update.
Here’s the article snippet encouraging Jihad.
On November 26, 2023, Michigan-based pro-Islamic State (ISIS) preacher Ahmed Musa Jibril released an eight-minute video titled, “No Holy War in Islam?!”[1] Countering the claim that there is no holy war in Islam, the video calls on youth everywhere, and especially in the West and in the United States, to learn the true meaning of jihad and teach it to others, whether online or via the educational system.
The release came less than a week after Jibril promoted a fundraising campaign aimed at sending ambulances to Gaza amid renewed fighting between Israel and Hamas.
“Jihad Means Participating In Battles”
Jibril’s video begins with a one-minute section in which an unidentified scholar refutes assertions that jihad in Islam primarily describes a holy, armed, and just conflict in which Muslims participate.
After inviting the viewer in with this introduction, Jibril then fields a question regarding the authenticity of a hadith cited by many Muslim scholars, describing armed jihad as a “lesser” struggle and the internal struggle against a Muslim’s baser instincts as “greater.”
His answer is blunt: “It’s not authentic.” Citing work by Islamic scholars and companions of the Prophet Muhammad, including Fayruz Al-Daylami, Imam Al-Bayhaqi, Jalal Al-Din Al-Suyuti, and Ibn Taymiya, a favorite scholar of many jihadists, Jibril describes the hadith, or saying of the prophet, as munkar, meaning it is contradicted by another hadith.
In addition to being false, Jibril describes this particular hadith as “dangerous.” He explains that it has been used deceptively “by promoters of the American-Zionist Islam” to “cancel out jihad, or to alter the meaning of jihad, or to diminish its importance.”
Citing examples in the Quran in which Muhammad participated in battles against non-Muslims, Jibril concludes that “there is holy war in the Quran: it’s jihad.”
The preacher attributes other understandings of jihad to munafiqin, or hypocrites, who spread “American-Zionist Islam,” which has nothing to do with Islam, states Jibril, and serves U.S. and Western interests.
Refuting an unnamed preacher who supports an opposing definition of jihad, Jibril accuses him of spreading heresy amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. He also accuses the unnamed cleric of blessing the U.S. war in Iraq in 2003, suggesting that the unnamed scholar supports holy war only against Muslims.
“Normalizing Jihad Terminology”
With the ongoing war in Gaza, Jibril calls on Muslims everywhere, particularly in the West, to start discussing violent jihad openly:
“Now with the current ongoing events that exposed…all the Muslims in the West, especially the youth in the West, especially the youth in America, need to wake up. The current events are a wake-up call for Muslims to start normalizing mentioning jihad’s proper meaning and putting it back into their vocabulary. Jihad must be a common, normal term on the tongues, and on your social media, and in the masajid[2] and elsewhere.”
He also calls on Muslims to refer to works by Islamic jurists to learn about the history and luster of armed jihad:
“It’s time to learn the glory and honor of jihad.”
This education should extend to children, he says.
“It’s time for mothers to nurse their infants with the love of jihad and the ambition of wanting to become a mujahid and a shaheed[3].”
Jibril says that if jihad is from Allah, then it is nothing to hide. Any accommodation requested by moderates or Western leaders, he says, is merely cover to entice Muslims away from Islam.
“Never be ashamed of teachings that come from Allah almighty, whatever they are. Never compromise so that the kuffar will think that your religion is cute, or so that they will like you or Islam, because they’ll never be pleased unless you join their faith.”
“Islam Cannot Be Stripped From Jihad”
Jibril also argues that the deaths of Muslims in Gaza disprove the idea that any accommodation or moderation can benefit Muslims.
“If making a suitable Islam for the West, for the kafir[4] West, is the solution, then why are they massacring the Muslims in Gaza after and elsewhere after most of the shuyukh[5] gave them the Islam that they wanted.”
He closes by reemphasizing the centrality of violent jihad to Islam and to Muslim identity.
“Islam can never be stripped from jihad, the highest point of Islam, as the Jews of the Qibla, and the liberals, and the modernists want.”
