The persistent efforts of the West have resulted in the depiction of jihad in the minds of believers as being synonymous with terrorism and brutality. Those who are striving for the revival of the Islamic system, instead of being acknowledged as benefactors, have been unfairly portrayed as terrorists in the minds of the believers. This is one of the Western schemes that has been fully executed.
It is evident that jihad is the sole path that instills the greatest fear in the hearts of disbelievers. Throughout history, they have experienced the bitterness of their defeat and decline on the battlefields of jihad. When the Ummah reached the pinnacle of glory, it was through jihad that it beheld itself in the mirror of greatness and honor. Every illustrious and radiant moment in history owes its existence to the grace of jihad and struggle.
Following the migration of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) to Madinah, he established a state. In order to safeguard this state and extend the realm of the Islamic system, he left behind a legacy of battles that stand as a paradigm and basis for every system of governance.
Nonetheless, the lamentable reality today is that this extensive chapter of holy battles has been concealed from the youth of the Ummah. These battles have neither been analyzed for them nor taught to them.
It is the duty of writers to fulfill this obligation. Every step of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was based on wisdom and foresight. If these holy battles are analyzed, many doubts will surely be dispelled. Those who criticize the policies of the Emirate will be silenced, and all their claims will be invalidated.
I am committed to making a diligent effort in this endeavor. With the will of Allah, I will consistently relay the details of the battles of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to you.
O Allah, guide me towards that which You love and are pleased with!
