These solutions are advanced in order to preserve paltry gains, such as survival of a
charitable organization under the auspices of a Taghut, or in order to aid a few thousand of
those who are committed (to the cause) in preserving a tranquility that is devoid of
disturbances, problems, and trials. The outcome of these solutions is to smother the embers
of enthusiasm and the flame of faith which is burning in the Muslim hearts these days. This
is our opportunity, the propitious circumstances of which may not be repeated until after a
long period of time. When that time comes, another generation will enter the fray in the
same manner we have spoken of. The difference, however, is that they will curse us for
what we failed to do. This is our opportunity. If we lose it, generations of Muslims will be
lost in the mire of having to submit to Taghut courts of law and will drown in televised
carnal appetites and the rest of the carnal appetites of life, which the tyrants readily provide
for adults and children. Perhaps for most of them, (this life) is sealed with dying in coarse
sinfulness or coarse unbelief, regardless of the laws of the world, whereas if the Umma is
destroyed entirely in this war, they are certainly martyrs, like the Companions of the Ditch
[Christian martyrs mentioned in the Qur'an who were killed by a Jewish king in Yemen] or
one of the descendents of Hasan. This is as Shaykh Sulayman Ibn Sihman (may God have
mercy on him) says: ""If you fight the desert and the city until they perish, that is of less
significance than them setting up a Taghut upon the earth who rules contrary to the sharia of
Islam with which God sent His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)." [cf. page 44
- "If you fight the desert and the city until no one in them remains, this is better than a
Taghut being appointed who rules contrary to the sharia of Islam."]
