Me ya kamata mu yi don cimma kyakkyawan tsarin Musulunci da yake gabatar mana?

What ought we to do for the realization of the ideal Islam sets forth before us?

Idan aka yarda cewa Musulunci shi ne mafi kyawun tsarin rayuwa da ake iya samu a wannan duniya, kuma kamar yadda matsayinmu na tarihi, na yanki da na duniya ya nuna, Musulunci shi ne kadai hanyar da za mu dawo da daraja, shugabanci da adalci a zamantakewa a wannan duniya, to tambayar ita ce: ina ne hanyar da take kai ga tabbatar da akidar Musulunci a duniyar da take mata gaba, kuma a gaban shugabanni masu mulkin kama-karya a wasu kasashen Musulmi, wadanda suke yakarta da tsananin zafi fiye ma da yadda abokan gabanta daga waje suke yi?

Granted that Islam is the best system to be found on this earth and that as our historical, geographical as well as international position shows, Islam is our only means to regain honor, leadership and social justice in this world, the question is whither lies the way that leads to the realization of Islamic ideology in a world hostile to it and in the presence of the dictatorial rulers in some Muslim lands who fight against it even more furiously than its enemies from abroad do?

To wane ne hanya? Me ya kamata mu yi? Amsar ita ce cewa akwai hanya ɗaya kaɗai, kuma ta kaɗai, ta cimma manufar Musulunci, kamar yadda aka saba ga dukkan motsi-motsi da suka taso a tarihin ɗan Adam, kuma a kalma ɗaya ita ce: Imani.

Yes, whither is the way? What ought we to do? The answer is that there is one and only one way to attain the Islamic goal as there has always been the case with all the movements springing up in human history and that in one word is: Faith.

Wannan imani ne ya taimaki Musulmai na farko: har yanzu shi ne kaɗai ƙarfin da zai iya taimakon al'ummarsu ta yau. Matsayinmu da yanayinmu a yau a matsayinmu na Musulmai ba ya bambanta ko kaɗan da na Musulmai na farko. Su ƙalilan ne kawai, amma sun tashi su yi yaƙi da manyan ƙasashe biyu mafi ƙarfi da girman kai a zamaninsu: Daular Romawa a hagunsu, da ta Farisa a damansu. Dukkan waɗannan abokan gaba sun fi su nesa ba kusa ba a yawan mutane, dukiya, fasahar yaƙi, ilimin soji da kuma hikimar siyasa. Duk da haka, mu'ujiza mai girma ta faru, ƙalilan Musulmai suka ci nasara a kan Kaisarorin Romawa da Kisrawan Farisa cikin ƙasa da rabin ƙarni. Sun kwace faɗin ƙasashensu masu yawa da suka tsawaita daga Tekun Indiya zuwa Tekun Atlantika. Yaya wannan mu'ujiza ta faru?

It was this very faith that helped the early Muslims: it still remains the only force that can help their present generation. Our stand and position today as Muslims is not in the least different from that taken up by the early Muslims. They were just a handful of men but were out to fight against two of the most powerful and proud states of that time, the Roman Empire on their left and the Persian to their right. Both of these adversaries were far superior to them in men, material wealth, art of war, military science as well as political insight. But despite this the great miracle happened and the handful of Muslims overpowered both the Caesars as well as the Kosroes in less than half a century. They captured their vast territories stretching from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic. How did this miracle happen?

Babu wata fassarar tarihi ta zahiri da za ta iya bayyana wannan babban mu'ujiza yadda ya kamata.

No materialistic interpretation of history can adequately explain this great miracle.

Abin da zai iya warware wannan sirri shi ne imani, kuma imani kawai. Wannan imanin ne ya sa ɗaya daga cikin Musulmai na farko tashi tsaye yana cewa: "Ashe ba gaskiya ba ne cewa babu abin da ke tsakanina da Aljannah sai na je na kashe wannan mutum (watau kafiri mai yaƙi da Musulmai) ko kuma ya kashe ni?" Sa'an nan bayan ya faɗi haka sai ya nufi fagen yaƙi cikin zuciya mai sanyi kamar zai rungumi amaryarsa. Ko kuma ya yi tsalle cikin fagen yana faɗa wa abokan gābansa:

The one thing with which we can unravel its mystery is faith and faith alone. It was this very faith that made one of these early Muslims stand up saying: "Is it not true that nothing intervenes between me and paradise but that I should go and kill this man (i.e. the unbeliever fighting against Muslims) or get killed by him?" And then saying this he would advance towards the battlefield as tight-heartedly as if he were going to embrace his bride. Or he would jump into the field saying to his adversaries:

"Shin kuna jiran mu sai ɗaya daga cikin abubuwa biyu mafi alheri: nasara ko shahada?" Wannan shi ne hanyar cimma manufofinmu, domin koyaushe ita ce kaɗai hanya a gaban duk wani motsi na tarihi.

"Do you await for us but one of the two most excellent things: victory or martyrdom?" That then is the way to realize our objectives as this has always been the only course before any other movement originating in history.

Akwai wasu mutane da ke tambayar mu, wasu da gaskiya, wasu kuma saboda tunanin shan kaye da ke cikinsu, inda yake makamai da ake bukata don wannan manufa? Makamai?

There are certain people who ask us, some out of sincerity and others because of their defeatist mentality, as to where is the necessary weaponry for this purpose. Weapons?

Eh, muna buƙatar makamai, amma kada mu manta cewa abu na farko kuma mafi muhimmanci a gare mu ba makamai ba ne, domin makamai kadai ba za su taimaka wa al'umma ko kaɗan ta wannan fannin ba. A lokacin Yaƙin Duniya na ƙarshe, Italiyawa suna da makamai mafi inganci da mutuwa, amma duk da haka ba su iya ceton kansu da su ba, kuma ba su iya samun wata nasara mai daraja da su ba.

Yes, we do need weapons, but we must not overlook the fact that the first and the foremost requisite for us is not the weapons, for weapons only can not in this respect help a nation in the least. During the last World War the Italians possessed most effective and deadly weaponry, but still it could not save them, nor could they achieve with it any glorious success. They excelled in one thing only: running away from the battlefield leaving all their weapons in the hands of their enemies. What they wanted was not weapons but faith and inspiration.

Ta haka ne suka yi nasara a kan irin waɗannan matsaloli masu girma.

On the other hand, we find that a handful of inspired fighters whose total strength did not exceed a hundred men at the most and whose nocturnal raiding parties never included more than six or seven men in a party at a time, so perturbed the leaders of senile old empires that they preferred leaving the country to those handful of men rather than conquer them. This faithful band of warriors did not possess deadly weapons; they did not have heavy artillery, jet-fighters or the armored corps. They fought with ordinary revolvers, guns and rifles but they had with them a weapon far deadlier than what their enemies possessed: they possessed faith! They had in them the spirit the early handful of Muslims had, fighting in the way of God killing the non-believers or themselves getting killed by them. That is how they succeeded against such heavy odds.

We know that the path we have chosen for ourselves is not strewn with flowers. It is rather a way that calls for sweat, blood and tears. It demands sacrifices, self-immolation, tribulations and a readiness to exert ourselves to the utmost. But there is nothing strange in this, for similar is the case with every other movement. Sacrifices are inevitable. There is no short cut to success.

Amma duk da wannan duka da suka sha, Mr.

But why should we not strive hard and be ready to suffer for the lofty cause before us-for honor, glory and for social justice when the sacrifices already experienced by us because of opprobrium, obloquy, poverty, weakness and disintegration are no less great and severe than the sacrifices called for by Islam? Millions of men from different Arab nationalities were killed in the last World War; thousands more perished by the bombardment of the Allied planes; properties were destroyed and a large number of men were made prisoners; all material resources were confiscated without any fighting against the conquerors on the part of their possessors. But still after suffering all this Mr.

Churchill was not satisfied with us. He told us bluntly: "We have saved you. Now pay us the price for it." It was only a short while ago that the western powers were so anxious to get the Arabs agree to conclude a joint defense pact with them. Their real purpose was to incorporate at least half a million Arabs in their armed forces so as to try their deadly weapons on them and thus save the white men of America and England from their deadly effects. In doing so they forcibly captured all the food production of the Arab world, exposed its people to dishonor and disgrace and when at last they no longer needed their services, kicked them out.

There is, of course, no escaping from death, from sacrifices and tribulations. Men died even for ignominy and ingloriousness: half a million at least laid their lives in the last Great War fighting for the Allies. Why should we then flinch back from laying down our lives for Islam, for glory and truth? When there are half a million men (as many as died for the Allies!) ready to lay down their lives for Islam the results will surely be different. There shall not remain even a single insolent dictator and tyrant on this earth, there will be no Christian or heathen imperialism to strut abroad then. Doesn't that show how we can achieve our goal? There is the way.

Some people are perturbed over the spread of communism in the modern world. But in fact there is nothing to he upset about that, for so far as Islam is concerned the world situation has not undergone any change whatsoever. The countries under communist control at present are what formed a Part of Christendom before the advent of communism and were as such as hostile to Islam and Muslims are they are today. Russia, for instance, even before the Communist Revolution used to send groups of infiltrators into the Muslim states to sow dissension and discord among the Muslims.

Similar was the case with Europe. It fought crusades against the Muslim world in the past and is still engaged in that war. Nothing has changed since then so far as the Muslims or Islam is concerned.

In such a situation, our standpoint must also remain unchanged. We stand exactly where the early Muslims stood when they were hemmed in from right and left by two of the most powerful countries of that time.

Abin farin ciki ne a lura cewa duk da dukkan cikas da adawa mara tausayi, ƙarfin al'ummar Musulunci yana ƙaruwa kowace rana. A ƙarshe, sake farfaɗowar Musulunci kamar ba makawa ce.

It is heartening to note that despite all hurdles and ruthless opposition, Islamic forces are gathering strength day by day. On balance, the revival of Islam seems but inevitable.

In the world today, it is destined to playas glorious a role as it played in the first days of its history. It promises peace and tranquility to the world of today which is wholly taken up with material pleasures and gains, and is as a result thereof stricken with conflicts and disruptions. Islam strikes a balance between matter and spirit, and is thus the only hope for humanity to get out of the present mess. As such the world is bound sooner or later to realize the importance of Islam and adopt its principles even if it does not formally embrace it as its religion.

As to ourselves-the workers of Islam-we admit that we are fully alive to the fact that the path before us is not a bed of roses. We Muslims will have to offer sacrifices-great and many sacrifices, in order to convince the world of the intrinsic goodness and truth of Islam. But let us ever bear in mind that the only way towards that end is but that of self-immolation:

Lalle Allah zai taimaka wa wanda ya taimaka masa (addininsa). Lalle Allah Mai karfi ne, Mai girma. Note: the rules require "God" to be rendered as the Hausa word for God, not "Allah". Corrected version: Lalle Ubangiji zai taimaki wanda ya taimaki (addininsa). Lalle Ubangiji Mai karfi ne, Mai girma, (Mai iko da kome).

"God will certainly aid those who aid His (cause): for verily God is full of strength, Exalted in might, (Able to enforce His will) (xxii: 40).
