The ideology and beliefs of ISIS aim to sow discord among Muslims and establish control through the propagation of division. However, it is imperative to assert with unwavering clarity that we do not seek conflict with our Muslim brethren, as our principles and methods transcend sectarian divisions. Rather, our path is one guided by religion and divine justice.
This path unequivocally rejects the incitement of strife, division, or tribalism, and has never condoned such behavior. Instead, it advocates for confronting those who propagate discord and sectarianism.
Our religion and belief are clear: individuals who foment discord and disunity among Muslims in any manner must be estranged from this path, and the straight path (the “Sirat al-Mustaqim”) must endure as eternal and unwavering.
ISIS fervently endeavours to foster division among Muslims, leveraging religious and sectarian beliefs as foundational tools. Nonetheless, their aspirations to realize this vision will remain unattained, as Muslims, particularly the populace of Afghanistan, have recognized that unity and concord are paramount for enduring happiness and peace in this world.
In actuality, ISIS seeks to disseminate divisions that undermine the unity of Muslims and alienate them from the collective bond. Through this, they seek to establish a pervasive network across the globe.
ISIS and its adherents of this malevolent ideology believe that everyone must think in the same way, and that their ideology must dominate all others. However, their thinking is far removed from Islamic principles.
Throughout history, Muslims have never encountered such slaves who have willingly submitted themselves to slavery, considering obedience to their master an honour.
In truth, ISIS and its faction comprise of such individuals who have willingly succumbed to servitude, aligning themselves with a path of antagonism and discord towards believers by choosing the route of division and disunity among Muslims.
They exert every effort to lead Muslims astray from their faith by using special names and labels, pitting Muslim brothers against each other, and expanding their misguided path of division and discord for their nefarious objectives.
Despite ISIS and its followers’ relentless endeavours to fragment Muslims, particularly in Afghanistan, through specific slogans, labels, or assaults on national and religious unity, they will ultimately falter and be thwarted by the will of Allah Almighty.
This group will never achieve its goals because the Muslims of Afghanistan have always trusted their leaders and respect the new government of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. This system is, in reality, a just and Islamic system, watered with the blood and sacrifices of the people.
As the roots of this system fortify, any faction, entity, or nation that seeks to undermine it will be met with resolute resistance from the people, who will, with discernment, thwart their efforts and cleanse the path from their malevolence.
