Mahdistan wrote:Honest question for Islamic Government; assuming you're an ISIS supporter (a pretty safe assumption, I think), how do you justify the massive losses you've incurred in Iraq and Syria? Do you believe that the caliphate is simply unable to to retake the two states, or do you still think they have a chance of winning?
You do know that, it is said in Surah Ar-Rum it does cover topics such as who Allah gives victory to from amongst Muslims and non-Muslims, and if they lose it wouldn't be the first time a 'Caliphate' would have lost. For example look at the Mongol conquest of Baghdad or the wars of Ridda fought where several revoked their Bayat to the Rashidun Khilafa. I'm not trying to promote any group here but in theory these would be justifications, also if we look at what is said about the coming of Al-Youm it is said Sham will be ruled by Sufyani and he will fight two factions and they will be defeated until their armies are in Damascus in the Mosque of Al-Manra Al-Bayda (The White Minaret), there Isa (AS) will come down and Mehdi will be leading the Muslims in prayer. It is also said as a sign of the end when Juj and Yajuj come and reign terror across the world killing Muslims and spreading injustice and shooting their arrows in the air, this implies a massive defeat of Muslims across the globe, so to think because a group of Muslims lose a battle means they do not have the favor of Aza wa Jal is an incorrect way of thinking from the Fiqh and Aqeedah of the basics of Islam derived from the Sunnah of Rasloolillah (SAAWS).
Hadith evidence of the Sufyani
Abu Hurayrah has narrated that the Prophet said:
A man will emerge from the depths of Damascus. He will be called Sufyani. Most of those who follow him will be from the tribe of Kalb. He will kill by ripping the stomachs of women and even kill the children. A man from my family will appear in the Haram, the news of his advent will reach the Sufyani and he will send to him one of his armies. He (referring to the Mahdi) will defeat them. They will then travel with whoever remains until they come to a desert and they will be swallowed. None will be saved except the one who had informed the others about them. (Mustadrak Al-Hakim)
