Question
What is the stance of the Shariah regarding aid which Hamas seeks from the Shiah Hezbollah and Iran?
Answer
The aforementioned Aayat of the Qur'aan Majeed adequately answers the question. It is gross deficiency of Imaan which constrains Muslims to look askance at the enemies of Islam for aid. The very Same Allah Who had sufficed for the Sahaabah in their battles against the Roman and Persian empires, exists today. The Promises of the Qur'aan are valid for all times.
Allah Azza Wa Jal had granted the Sahaabah stupendous victories against vastly superior armies. But today the so-called Mujaahideen are being denied the aid of Allah Ta'ala, hence they are sorely reliant on the enemies of Islam for a smattering of aid to enable them to make feeble shows of 'jihad'.
It is essential for Muslims to deeply reflect and to endeavour fathoming the causes for being deprived of Allah's Nusrat. Although Allah Ta'ala emphatically states in the Qur'aan that He suffices in Qitaal for the Mu'mineen, the reality on the ground is that the claimants of Imaan are denied that Aid in the wake of which comes victory.
Just why is the Nusrat promised to the Mu'mineen not arriving? Since Muslims have acquired the attitude of atheists, they refuse to even seriously ponder on the Promises of Allah Ta'ala for the Mu'mineen stated in the Qur'aan. If they reflect sincerely, they will understand that today the Muslim nation is no longer the Mu'mineen for whom Allah Ta'ala has promised His aid. Today the Ummah is depicted in the following Hadith:
"A time will dawn when the people will gather in their
Musaajid and perform Salaat whilst not a single one will be a Mu'min."
Now, when we are no longer Mu'mineen in the meaning of the Qur'aan, the answer for the Ummah being abandoned by Allah Azza Wa Jal should not be a mystery. This is why Hamas has embraced the Shiahs, and that is why the Mujaahideen in Syria have to make a show of their jihad to conform with the political policies of Turkey and the U.S.
