Hizb Tawheed Wal-Qitaalii.than that of which has spread lately about preparing (forJihad), like travelling without the having intention of Jihad.Preparing is for a specific goal only - …"Prepare… to terrorizethe enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others" as Imentioned this verse before.d. Then this ayah refers to a gentle indication, after the order toprepare and obtain weapons and war machines, to spend.This is because Allāh SWT knows the cost of this and Heknows that most of those who desire to make Jihad are poor.The verse orders spending and ends with the order to spendand promises great rewards from Allāh.As for the verse of At-Taubah:It contains important signs and important jurisprudence for therelationship of preparing with faith and its relationship withpractical Jihad. Among the distinctions of this is verse (46) whichspeaks about hypocrites and their claim of having the intention forJihad after verses (44-45) which speak about the relationship of thebelievers and how they, in fact, perform Jihad with their propertyand lives and they do not ask permission to flee (from fighting) likethe hypocrites do; those whose hearts are in doubt and seekpermission for an escape. And for this reason, the chapter of At-Tauba is called the "Exposer of the Hypocrites." So now the versewhich concerns us decides that among the signs of the hypocrites istheir avoiding the preparation for fighting and Jihad. Also, the versesays about them "If they wanted to go out", this means if theirintention were truthful to fight and go out (in the path of Allah)"They would have prepared something for it." That means theywould prepare to fight, which was required of them according totheir capability and capacity. This verse, also, determines that AllahSWT hated for them to go out for Jihad and discouraged them fromit (i.e. going out for Jihad) because he knew the situation, so hemade them stay behind as a mercy for the mujāhidīn. This isbecause going out for these people is harmful (for the Jihad and themujāhidīn). So the verse refers to the stages of this in the words ofAllah: "If they had wanted to go out they would have preparedsomething for…sit back with those who stay back” 123123 This failure is the phenomenon of the ones who prepared but they did not want to go out.They wanted to prepare but at the same time they did not want to perform jihad. So theywanted to stay behind with premeditation!The Compilation Of Security And Intelligence Principles Page 173
