How Muslims Can Defend the Quran
The Quran Al Kareem, the Noble word of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’aala), the Truth (Haq) that was revealed on the Night of Power (Layla-tulQadr), has been abused and defiled by US troops as part of their war against Islam, what they call a war on terror. They tried to flush the Quran down the toilet, urinated on it, kicked it, and stamped upon it. This is just some actions they have carried out in order to vilify Islam, the Quran, our beliefs and our values.
Although hearing about these incidents causes much pain for Muslims, it will not surprise anyone. These revelations about Guantanamo Bay may be new but there are now countless examples of attempts to abuse and damage the Quran Al Kareem both physically and its message. We saw pictures of US troops entering Masjids they had destroyed, throwing copies of Al Quran on the floor. We have seen puppet regimes in the Muslim world, for example Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Pakistan, following the requests of their masters in Washington to prohibit many parts of the Quran from being taught in schools. We have seen the US backed regimes in Uzbekistan. Pakistan and Egypt detaining, torturing and murdering those Muslims who work, with no violence, to see the Word of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’aala) made the foundations of a just society.
Dear Muslim brothers and sisters! The Quran Al Kareem is the word of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’aala) revealed to His Prophet (Sallahu alayhi wasalam). Its miracle is proven without a shadow of doubt, when Allah Almighty challenged the world:
æóÅöä ßõäÊõãú Ýöí ÑóíúÈò ãøöãøóÇ äóÒøóáúäóÇ Úóáóì ÚóÈúÏöäóÇ ÝóÃúÊõæÇú ÈöÓõæÑóÉò ãøöä ãøöËúáöåö æóÇÏúÚõæÇú ÔõåóÏóÇÁßõã ãøöä Ïõæäö Çááøåö Åöäú ßõäúÊõãú ÕóÇÏöÞöíäó
And if you are in doubt concerning that which We revealed to Our slave (Muhammad), then produce a surah or the like it, and call your witnesses beside Allah if you are truthful. [Surah Baqarah: 23]
The Quran al Kareem was revealed to lead mankind, not just Muslims, out of the darkness and misery of slavery of other men, to the enlightenment of submitting to Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’aala) alone.
The reverse is reversed

Alif. Lam. Ra. (This is) a Scripture which We have revealed unto thee (Muhammad) that thereby you may bring forth mankind from darkness unto light, by the permission of their Lord, unto the path of the Mighty, the Owner of Praise. [Surah Ibrahim 14:1]
Quran is the basis of Shariah, and Shariah is the Righteous law of the only legitimate form of government in Islam – the Khilafah. The Khilafah is the only means of unity of our Ummah – its resources, wealth, talent, political and economic strength, as well as its military capability. It is this State that will look after its citizens – Muslim and non-Muslim with justice. To work for its establishment is the obligation from Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’aala) upon our necks because the Messenger (Sallahu alayhi wasalam) said:
æãä ãÇÊ æáíÓ Ýí ÚäÞå ÈíÚÉ ãÇÊ ãíÊÉ ÌÇåáíÉ
‘…and whosoever dies without a bayah (allegiance to a Khalif) on his neck dies the death of Jahilyah.’ [Sahih Muslim]
Our current rulers and the systems that they implement will never be able to solve the crisis that is affecting our Ummah. They have sided with the enemies of the Muslims and Islam, instead of looking after the affairs of the Muslims according to Islam. Can any of us imagine that the enemies of Allah would dare to treat the Quran Al Kareem and the Believers this way if our strength was unified under one Khaleefah?
The Messenger (Sallahu alayhi wasalam) said:
ÅäãÇ ÇáÅãÇã ÌõäÉ íõÞÇÊóá ãä æÑÇÆå æíõÊÞì Èå
‘Verily the Imam (Khaleefah) is a shield by which you fight behind and by which you are protected.’ [Sahih Muslim]
Every time such abuses occur, it angers us. Yet how many of us, when we hear these incidents, work and pray for the establishment of the Khilafah state or try to expend our efforts to the fundamental solution to these numerous problems. Who then will respond to this call and work with us, on the clear political method of the Prophet (salAllahu alaihi wasallam), to work for the re-establishment of the Khilafah Rashida in the Muslim world?
