Amein,
I will defer to Zeev, as his response and explanation on Israel. It is a great post...
What I will expound on, if the answer is "Yes" in the occupied territories, and we support and aide Israel, do we not fall under supporters of enemies in 9:4, "nor have supported anyone against you"?
[at-Taubah 9:4] Excepting those of the idolaters with whom ye (Muslims) have a treaty, and who have since abated nothing of your right nor have supported anyone against you. (As for these), fulfil their treaty to them till their term. Lo! Allah loveth those who keep their duty (unto Him).
[at-Taubah 9:5] Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
God Bless,
IGIT |
