It is a widely acknowledged truth that oppression and aggression are unsustainable, particularly when carried out in the name of religion and causing suffering to individuals.
In the Qur’an, Allah, the Almighty, states:
“And We never destroy towns unless their people are wrongdoers.”
(Surah Al-Qasas 28:59)
Oppression, aggression, and the infringement of human rights are deeply rooted in the ideology and actions of this terrorist group. However, no religious text supports the idea that a system can thrive through oppression, or that a movement can gain prominence through aggression and injustice.
Since its inception, ISIS has chosen the path of oppression and the violation of human rights.
ISIS is a movement driven by the agendas of global arrogance and intelligence agencies. It has consistently aimed to tarnish the reputation of Islamic movements, depicting them to the world as malevolent and inhumane.
Upon careful consideration and impartial analysis of the actions and conduct of this group, it becomes evident that its ideology and actions are far from those aligned with an Islamic system.
In Islam, aggression and the violation of individuals’ rights are unacceptable. Islam does not condone the notion of individuals striving to infringe upon the rights of others.
Any movement or organization that embraces the path of oppression and aggression, regardless of its title or form, will not find support in Islamic teachings. Through its activities, ISIS has brought about its own path towards destruction.
Furthermore, its unethical and non-religious practices have unequivocally demonstrated to the world, especially to jihadist groups, that this movement and organization will inevitably face downfall.
The catalysts behind the collapse of ISIS:
1. Spreading Oppression:
Islamic teachings, Qur’anic verses, and numerous teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) clearly emphasize that no government can thrive through injustice. ISIS appeared with a despotic approach, exhibiting no compassion towards humanity, and in its oppression, it showed no discrimination between Muslims and non-Muslims.
It encroached upon regions where Muslims had coexisted peacefully for years, yet its oppressive demeanor brought ruin to these areas and devastated Muslim communities.
2. Lack of Definitive Goals:
ISIS consistently alters its strategies to sustain its movement. It lacks stable or definitive objectives, signifying its dependency on external influences.
Any system or movement devoid of its own vision and purpose, following others blindly, will not endure and will eventually collapse.
3. Decline in Public Support:
In numerous regions, ISIS has witnessed a decline in public backing. Any movement that loses the support of the local populace is heading towards destruction with each passing moment.
ISIS embraced a culture of terror and intimidation, spreading oppression and dread, thus losing the support of the people – including many devout Muslims. It is now widely believed that this movement and organization do not aim to serve the noble objectives of Islam, but rather to sow doubt in the world’s perception of Islam.
