Ruling on ghting the Kuffaar who attack the Muslim Lands.

Islam forbids abandonment, and surrendering the lands of Islam to the enemies of the Religion and the descendants of Apes and Swines.! Islam calls us to ght in the Sake of Allah, and to ght the covenant violators and oppressors. And emphasizes the need to cleanse the Muslim lands from the hands of rapists (occupiers). Allah Subhanahu Wataaala says:
% +1 % : % '$#"* ;( %( % !(& % # "! *L ' G '8 * & * : ' %8*D B '< ' %8!7 *. * 7N # %F : - +/ % @? %> % !(3 !G C% ! A * 6 ' M # *K : # 'J#IH #9 # ) #9 * =, #9 #9 # * 54 ' 2 * ( * : * 0 * +-,+*$) E@ '$

{March forth, whether you are light (being healthy, young and wealthy) or heavy (being ill, old and poor), and strive hard with your wealth and your lives in the Cause of Allah. This is better for you, if you but knew.} [9:41]

Allah Subhanahu Wataaala also says:

%% +Z % G *Y * !7 %, * B 'S E *I#J, ' *K 0 'K % +O *( C 8! QM C %F G * !( * , * 79 * 79 % V ' S3 * QCJP * [ ' 7M \ # W %C U * 0 # Y ' X * *J#"! G T 8! G * ( * : #2 * 3 * R *

{And ght them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism, i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone [in the whole of the world ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do.}[8:39] And the people of Knowledge (Ahlul-ilm) agreed upon the obligatory to ght the disbelievers who attack/occupy the Muslim countries. If they stop their aggression only then the Obligation will fall for the other Muslims. But if the ghting is still going on, and expelling the disbelieving enemy from the Muslim countries failed, it becomes an obligation for the Muslims from the surrounding countries, that are close to the enemy, to give victory to them (i.e. the oppressed Muslims), by ghting the Kufar to repel their oppression and aggression. Allah Subhanahu Wataaala says:

{And what is wrong with you that you ght not in the Cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help. * Those who believe, ght in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, ght in the cause of Taghut (Satan). So ght you against the friends of Shaitan (Satan). Ever feeble indeed is the plot of Shaitan (Satan).} [4: 75-76]

This Quranic verse demands (from us) to free the weak from amongst the believers from the hands of the Kufar, Tyrants and criminals. Also the verse demands (from us) to ght the Kufar. And the meaning of al-Qitaal (ghting) is to make the Word of Allah Supreme, to give victory to His religion, to support the Muslims and to give them victory of the enemy of Allah and their enemy. The person who is killed during this Jihad, is a Shahid (Martyr). De prophet Muhammad ,"' ' ' ' ' +* )("' ' ' ' ' & %$ #"! said:

{One who is slain in the way of Allah is a martyr; one who dies in the way of Allah, is a martyr} [Part of Hadith in Sahih Muslim] There are a lot of narration from the prophet ,'"' ' ' ' ' ' +* )'('"' ' ' ' ' ' & %$ #"'! that show us that Jihad for the Sake of Allah is one of the best deeds, and that the one who takes the responsibility on him, belongs to the best of Allahs servants. How precious is all that blood and lives that are sacriced for the Sake of Allah and to protect the Muslims from the oppression of the Kufar. Allah Subhanahu Wataala says:

{Think not of those who are killed in the Way of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive, with their Lord, and they have provision. * They rejoice in what Allah has bestowed upon them of His Bounty and rejoice for the sake of those who have not yet joined them, but are left behind (not yet martyred) that on them no fear shall come, nor shall they grieve. * They rejoice in a Grace and a Bounty from Allah, and that Allah will not waste the reward of the believers.} [3: 169-171] !
