Sheikh Adam`s Message Urging Jihad Against New President.

[ModerateMuslim]

MYM Presents Shaykh Adam`s Message Urging Jihad Against New President On 21 February, a jihadist forum participant posted to a jihadist website a 47-page article written by Shaykh Abi Salman Hassan Hussayn Adam and presented by the Media Section of the Mujahidin Youth Movement, MYM, entitled: “A Message to the Muslim Nation and Its Scholars.” In the article, the author points out the illegitimacy of the rule of the newly appointed president and government based on evidence from the Somali Constitution, Islamic Shari`ah, Islamic scholars, Koranic verses, and the Hadith. The author states that it has become necessary for him to write about this issue because Somalia is taking a turn for the worse and because no one has taken the time to look at the ruling crisis issue in Somali from a Shari`ah perspective. The author states that there are three ways through which an imam can be chosen and that new Somali President Sharif Shaykh Ahmad does not meet any of them; thereby, his rule is illegitimate. The author concludes by urging the Somali people to continue in their jihad against this new government as they did with its predecessor and not to be tempted by the political slogans of the new government. The message is attributed to the Sada al-Jihad Media Center of the Global Islamic Media Front.

A translation of parts of the article follows:

“The Somali nation has gone through very serious stages and it has taken a turn for the worse in recent days. This time, the nation is being led by the Islamists in the name of national reconciliation and to save the nation from the current crisis.

“It became a necessary duty on the scholars to advise. Based on this, we will look at the Djibouti faction that is allied with the apostate government and the events from a Shari`ah position. What made me do this is that, following the magnitude of horror and length of time and despite the severity of the need, I did not find anyone looking into the case, comprehending its direction, looking into its crisis from a Shari`ah perspective, and revealing to those who want it the truth through evidence, in order to clear the path. This is except for press articles that only mislead the nation.

“Defeat and submission comes in two types: one is intellectual defeat; meanwhile, the other is political defeat. The most serious type of defeat that morally affects societies is psychological defeat, which is the waiving and abandonment of basic principles and the fixed origins of the communities that have done everything to defend it. As for a military defeat, one day you win a battle and another you lose; this is the nature of the conflict, even in the wars of the prophets and Muslims. A Muslim defeat in a military battle is not humiliating, but the overwhelming and most severe blow is for them to give up their religion and their fundamental rights. It is nota surprise that the mujahidin might be defeated by an enormous military force because of the difference in the number of military personnel and equipment, but we find no justification to abandon the right of jihad and steadfastness and the rejection of the blasphemous principles. I am not surprised that the Djibouti faction has abandoned the Asmara Alliance and its fundamental principles of Islam.

“It has become apparent to the Somalis, in particular through many pieces of evidence, that the previous government of Abdullah Yusuf was a puppet apostate government. Now, let me state my position about the new government that is recognized internationally by the journalists and those hungry for any system in Somalia, even if it is tyrannical.

“Let us assume that this government is Islamic, but it is not legitimate because of the lack of conditions for his assumption of the imamate or presidency. Every Somali knows that Sharif Shaykh Ahmad is the head of the government that was elected by the men of the apostate government and instigated by the atheist United Nations and the new members of parliament. No president of the country can arise in this manner, even if he and his people are innocent of non-belief.

“Legitimate ways to appoint an imam: there are three ways to be an imam of the Sunni people.

“First, appointment of the imam by influential people (an adult Muslim male who is sane, free, just, and knowledgeable, has an opinion and is wise).

“Second, appointment through the caliphate and promise method. Did our alleged president come to power through the promise and appointment by a former Muslim imam caliphate? Everyone knows the answer.

“Third, the oppression and dominance method, which is not a legitimate method of the Sunnis, but was approved when in need and to stop the bloodshed. The doctrine states that the imamate is for the one who has dominance over the people, sits on the throne through dominance, and should lead them with what the Koran and Sunnah of the prophet states.

“First: Was Sharif Shaykh Ahmad a dominant ruler who oppressed the subjects and the country so that he can be obeyed and recognized according to what is in the Book (Koran) and the Sunnah, or is the opposite correct? He is constrained and overwhelmed. At best, this government is not a legitimate government that the Somalis must recognize and obey like an imam ora president of a country based upon the rules of the Sunni people that are derived from the Koran, the Sunnah of his messenger, and the consensus of the companions.

“Second: I have no doubts that it is an apostate government like its predecessor. A Muslim who has some knowledge of his religion knows that the government of Sharif and his group is an apostate government like the governments of Abdullahi Yusuf and Ali Muhammad Gedi. This is because of the evidence I mentioned previously and other evidence I did not mention.

“In conclusion, I have no doubt, and no Muslim should doubt especially the scholars, that this new government is an apostate government if it does not repent to God correctly. Before that, the Muslims in general, and the Somalis in particular, must conduct jihad against this government as they did against its predecessor. The Muslim jihadist Somali people must not be tempted by the inept political messages or unintelligent bright slogans. They should rely on God and continue their jihad in defense of the religion, Islam, and Muslims. Success is through Almighty God.”
