What are intense difficulties o<strong>the</strong>r than pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> correctness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> path?" [Quote from<br />

Article 63 <strong>of</strong> Articles Between Two Methods]<br />

Military Revolt:<br />

A solution remains <strong>which</strong> may be partially successful; <strong>the</strong> success <strong>will</strong> be partial because its<br />

elements are defective. Thus, it produces defective results, <strong>which</strong> quickly collapse. It is a<br />

solution that may be undertaken as a tangential part <strong>of</strong> our movement, but <strong>the</strong> foundation <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> Islamic state cannot be built upon it, as is related about <strong>the</strong> righteous servant Fayruz al-<br />

Daylami (may God be pleased with him) [a Companion and Yemeni noble] and al-Aswad al-<br />

`Ansi [a false prophet who ruled Yemen until Fayruz assassinated him]. This solution is<br />

military revolt. Of course, it is a solution taken to a certain extent from <strong>the</strong> Sunna and may<br />

lead to <strong>the</strong> establishment <strong>of</strong> a state for those who undertake it as individuals, but it is<br />

difficult for <strong>the</strong> state to continue in an entirely Islamic form, unless <strong>the</strong> (military) solution is<br />

part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> plans and <strong>the</strong> actions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> entire Sunna solution <strong>which</strong> this study presented.<br />

The movement <strong>of</strong> Abu Fayruz al-Daylami (may God be pleased with him) was a part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

movement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Muslim community and was not <strong>the</strong> pillar <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> movement.<br />

Shaykh `Abd Allah `Azzam (may God have mercy on him) says: "Those who wait for a<br />

handful <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficers to establish <strong>the</strong> religion <strong>of</strong> God on earth for <strong>the</strong>m—while <strong>the</strong>y issue<br />

commands to <strong>the</strong> people by means <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first communiqué on <strong>the</strong> radio after a battle in<br />

<strong>which</strong> <strong>the</strong>re is no suffering or effort and <strong>which</strong> is preceded by <strong>stage</strong>s <strong>of</strong> secrecy,<br />
