Question
What is exactly going on in Egypt? What is the standpoint of Muhammad Morse of the Muslim Brotherhood? It was my intention to make hijrat to Egypt, but I am now becoming afraid of developments over there. Things seem to be so confused. Are they also Salafi in Egypt? And what about the fighting and jihad in the other Muslim countries?
Answer
The conflagration which is overwhelming the Muslim countries is not an Islamic upheaval. All the fighting which is currently taking place in Muslim countries, has worldly objectives. The only exceptions are Afghanistan, Somalia, Mauritania, Chechniya and Yemen. Whilst the Islamic struggle is weak in the latter four countries, it is strong in Afghanistan. In the four countries mentioned, the fight is led by Salafis. But in Afghanistan where the Jihad is the strongest and where wonderful victories have been achieved against the world's coalition of kuffaar forces, the Mujaahideen are Hanafis. The Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt although not Salafi, does not follow any Math-hab, and although the movement was predominantly an Islamic movement a century ago, today it is also westernized. It is not a genuine Islamic movement any longer. Its members lack Islamic spiritual fibre, hence they have to toe the line of the U.S. and dance to its tune. Despite the present Egyptian government's desire to support Hamas, they are unable to assist the Palestinians in any meaningful way. They are unable to even open up the borders between Egypt and Palestine. They fear Israel and the U.S. And, that is because their focus is not on Allah Ta'ala. They lack Taqwa and the spiritual fibre to take on the kuffaar as the small groups of Sahaabah had done, and also how the Taliban had and are meting out shattering rebuffs to the kuffaar super powers of the world. Whilst the army of the kuffaar marches on its stomach, the army of Islam marches on its Imaan. But, Alas! In this era, the armies of Muslims are wholly deficient in Imaan and entirely lacking in the spiritual fibre which blossoms from Taqwa, hence Muslims too are trying to march and fight on their stomachs. Fighting on the stomach is appropriate for the kuffaar. For them there is worldly success in their stomachs and their intestines. But, for Muslims there is only disgrace and defeat in enslavement to the stomach and the flesh. It is for this reason that you will not hear even Mr.Morse of the Ikhwaanul Muslimeen speaking of a Shariah state. They will mumble incoherencies to appease the western kuffaar palate.
The Egyptians of Ikhwaanul Muslimeen although not following a specific Math-hab are not as raw and crude as the morally and spiritually barren Salafis of Saudi Arabia. They are more cultured than Ibn Abdul Wahhaab's raw recruits and the followers of Albaani.
