Shaykh Saalih Ibn Fawzaan
Al-Fawzaan
(may Allah preserve him) stated:
"The actions, disbelief and
evil of the Yahood (Jews) is well known, even (with regards) to (their
relationship) with their Prophets. They killed their Prophets and (also) is
that which occurred with Kaleemullaah - Moosaa (the Prophet Moses upon him be
the salutations), such as what Allah has related in the Qur`aan (regarding) the
story of Moosaa and Haaroon ('alayhimas-salaam).
The character, disbelief,
misguidance and evil of the Yahood is well known - even towards their Prophets
- but what is obligatory upon us (Muslims) is that we ponder and rectify our
deviated affairs and repent to Allah because the Yahood have not gained the
upper hand over us except due to our sins. Why is it that we do not hear anyone
addressing and admonishing the Muslims whilst saying to them: 'What has
happened to you is (nothing else), but as a result of your turning away from
the religion of Allah and negligence in the affairs of the Deen. So repent to
Allah in order that Allah may aid you and avert the plot of the plotters from
you.'
We do not hear except insult,
abuse, and supplication against the Yahood, but this should be substituted with
supplicating to Allah to rectify the Muslims and to make them steadfast. And to
mention to the Muslims that they should repent and return to Allah, and rectify
their Deen for the sake of Allah. This is the first obligation.
As for supplication against an
oppressive tyrant, be it the Yahood or other than them, then there is nothing
wrong with this. It is legislated to supplicate against the one who oppresses
you with the sharee'ah supplications, the supplications found in the Qur'aan
and the Sunnah. But before supplicating against them, you should supplicate to
Allah to rectify the Muslims and to make the Muslims steadfast upon their
Religion and return them to the truth. (And) advise, address and admonish
(them) with regards to (obedience to) Allah.
This is what is obligatory."
