Question

I only have one question. I have noted that since the taliban have placed a ban on female education, ulama and so called Muslim governments throughout the world have come out and condemned them, yet South African ulama including Wifaqul Ulama and the Majlisul Ulama have remained silent. Please can you advise why this is the case as I really thought whatever differences there may be between our ulama and the Taliban in its current form, that it would have been good to come out in support on this issue, especially since almost the entire Muslim world has turned on them.

Answer

The entire world has turned on them, have always turned on them because they (the Taliban) have turned on Islam. We do not speak for Wifaaqul Ulama. Acquire their views from them. However, our silence is constrained by disillusionment with the Taliban. No other entity besides us has been so vociferous in its moral support for the Taliban throughout the duration of the more than 20 year old war with the forces of kufr.

However, after the success Allah Ta'ala had bestowed to the Taliban, they deviated from Siraatul Mustaqeem and began bootlicking the kuffaar in general. In fact, they had been bootlicking the U.S.A. long before their final victory. The exercise in Qatar was bootlicking the U.S.

Then they deemed it imperative to bootlick Russia, India, China and Iran. They believe that honour and rizq are obtainable from these evil kuffaar wallowing in kufr and janaabat. At the height of their victory, they initiated their bootlicking of the very powers which had always plotted their destruction, and are still oppressing, torturing, pillaging and plundering Muslims in their respective countries.

Banning women from universities is not sufficient cause for the elicitation of support. The Shariah is not confined to purdah and whipping here and there. Islam is a complete and perfect Divine Code and Law for the Ummah. The Taliban themselves do not observe purdah when they interact with kuffaar political females representing the kuffaar countries.

The Taliban have committed heinous acts of treason against Islam. Its so-called 'elite force' is an American-trained group of chaps bereft of true Deen and perhaps without Imaan. Its western-style police force initiated after their victory is a mockery and a stupidity which belie their claims of a Shariah state. The very first and foremost obligation of an Islamic State is to enforce Salaat. The Qur'aan Majeed states:

"If We grant them political power, they establish Salaat, Zakaat and they command virtue and prohibit evil."

This Qur'aanic emphasis on Salaat which the Taliban had adhered to in the initial days of their victory after the expulsion of the Soviet Union, was totally abandoned by even Mullah Omar, hence Allah Ta'ala removed the Taliban from power. Nabi Musaa (Alayhis salaam) advising the down-trodden, humiliated Bani Israaeel, said:

"Seek aid with Sabr and Salaat, for verily the earth belongs to Allah. He grants it to whomever He wills… Perhaps He will soon establish you on earth (in power to rule), then He will watch how you acquit yourselves." (Qur'aan)

Allah Ta'ala had granted the Taliban under Mullah Omar power to rule. They abused that power by abandoning the Institution of Salaat –The Central Pillar of the Deen, and by bootlicking and appeasing the kuffaar. Allah Ta'ala was watching them. Then He removed them from power and the kuffaar took over Afghanistan. Now Allah Ta'ala has again granted them an opportunity to prove themselves worthy of retaining power. Alas! They are failing the test.

No one's moral support will avail them when they are on a pathway leading a way from the Deen. They lack in entirety in Tawakkul on Allah Ta'ala. Just imagine that at the time when Allah Ta'ala grants them victory over the kuffaar coalition forces, they (Taliban) go to the cow-worshipping Hindus – the cow-urine drinkers – with cap in hand begging disgracefully for wheat and vaccines!!! After achieving victory, they humiliate themselves by bootlicking the pork-eating Chinese, begging for their support – for financial aid.

The Taliban are traditional 'Muslims'. They are bereft of the attitudes of the Sunnah. There is much to say in this regard, but this should suffice for an understanding of our attitude of disillusion with the Taliban. It has become an indurate attitude which makes difficult even Dua for them. Nevertheless, suppressing this indurate attitude, we supplicate to Allah Ta'ala to grant them good hidaayat.
