A Quote From Salaahud-deen Ayyoobee

We hope in Allah -Subhannah wa Ta'aala - Who leads the hearts of Muslims to calm [concerning] what torments them and ruins their prosperity.

Where is the sense of honour of the Muslims?...

The pride of the Believers?..

The zeal of the Faithful?.

We shall never cease to be amazed at how the disbelievers - for their part -have shown trusts, and it is the Muslims who have been lacking in zeal. Not one of them has responded to the call. Not one intervenes to straighten what is distorted; but observe how far the Franks have gone. What unity they have achieved. What aims they pursue. What help they have given. What sums of money they have borrowed and spent. What wealth they have collected and distributed and divided amongst them[selves]. There is not a king left in their lands or islands, not a lord or a rich man who has not competed with his neighbours to produce more support and rival his peers in strenuous military efforts. In defence of their religion they consider it a small thing to spend life and soul; and they have kept their infidel brothers supplied with arms and champions of war; and all they have done and all their generosity has been done purely out of zeal for him [who] they worship in jealous defence of their faith.

The Muslims, on the other hand, are weakened and demoralised; they have become negligent and lazy, the victims of unproductive stupification and completely lacking in enthusiasm. If -Allah forbid - Islam should draw reign, obscure her splendour, blunt her sword there would be no one, east or west, far or near who would blaze the zeal for Allah's Deen, or choose to come to the aid of Truth against falsehood.

This is the moment to cast off laziness, to summon from far and near all those men who have blood in their veins; but we are confident (Note: Our Brother in Islam speaks concerning himself and the small party of believers who began with him and who then became a large party); but we are confident thanks to Allah-Alhamdulillaah -in the help that will come from Him and [we] entrust ourselves to Him in sincerity of purpose and deepest devotion.

Insha' Allah, Insha' Allah the disbelievers shall perish and the Faithful [will] have a sure deliverance.
