I want you all to read the following very carefully because it's important.
I was with one of the most respected scholars around here in Makkah yesterday (hafidhahullah) and he was incredibly sad about what had just happened in the Kunduz region of Afghanistan with the murder of the children memorisers of the Qur'an and what it represented in the military and ideological war the disbelievers wage in other countries too. I wish to paraphrase what he said:
Madrasahs in Pakistan and Afghanistan have a great impact on their countries, not just supporting millions of children but also teaching them their Deen. They eat, drink, sleep, worship, play and learn there before going on to try and benefit their communities as best they can. They might not be perfect but their good massively outweighs any negatives.
These graduates have had a very important role against the military and ideological occupation of aggressors and foreign invaders historically, whether that be a direct resistance to an actual physical invasion, or an indirect resistance to an educational or cultural or economic or political occupation and invasion of mind, heart and soul.
Those who follow the movements of Western powers and agenices and their slaves they have placed in charge of our countries, will know that it is from their ultimate objectives to complete rid our countries of such Madrasahs and educational institutes and such resistance to their ideas and power. At all costs. Whatever it takes. Even if it means fabricating about such centres as places where "terrorism breeds" and then attacking them openly and directly.
Usually they will be content in just supporting with full force the secular anti-Islam educational reform movement with billions, such as supporting figures like Malala who was nearly killed by what was thought to be the Taliban, and received international stardom in her resistance to their efforts.
The specific attack against children during the Qur'an memorisation graduation ceremony in Afghanistan - with attack helicopters and guided missles etc - was planned meticulously in every way: in its timing, its location and its manner.
They wanted the terror caused by their "Shock and Awe" approach to have the maximum impact on the children and teachers to make them fearful of Madrasahs and what might happen there at any time.
With all their advanced technology and incredibly deep intelligence aparatus, it was the easiest thing possible to be able to distinguish between Taliban militants or any guilty criminals, and between a religious seminary and their students. The attack was intentional, planned and devastating in consequence.
The Huffadh of the Qur'an who were all murdered in the attack are being provided for with their Lord by His Will. Allah jalla wa 'ala chose them in this dunya to memorise His Book, and chose them in the Akhirah to be alongside Him. By His Permission, He honoured them in both worlds.
The murderers however - the Afghan perpetrators and their disbelieving paymasters and controllers - will be both cursed and humiliated in this dunya and the Akhirah.
Their excuses will never be accepted. They will never achieve success in their efforts whatever power and position they reach, exactly as Allah jalla wa 'ala said:
"The scheming of those who reject the truth can only go wrong." (40:25)
Islam and its followers will remain, and will survive, and will be supported - by the Will of Allah jalla wa 'ala - whether it takes a few years or all of time itself. This is the case not just for what has just occurred in this single incident in Afghanistan but in all the countries all over the world where this is happening every single day. You can now add all your cities and countries - I don't have to say Kashmir or Yemen or leave it out, or say Palestine and Syria and mention them repeatedly, to make any difference to what we all know all over the world about their ultimate plan - for Allah says:
"We support Our messengers and the believers, in the present life and on the Day when witnesses arise. On the Day when excuses will not profit the evildoers, their fate will be rejection and they will have the worst of homes." (40:51)
And indeed to Allah we belong, and to Him we shall return.
