In the Holy Quran, Allah Almighty has commanded!
إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فِي الدَّرْكِ الْأَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ
(Surah An-Nisa: 145)
"Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire."
Today, the Afghan Taliban are proving themselves to be the party of these very hypocrites.
Mullah Haibatullah, who presents himself as the flag-bearer of extremism, on one hand openly patronizes the fitna of the Khawarij, while the Ahadith contain clear signs regarding the fitna of the Khawarij:
"يَقْتُلُونَ أَهْلَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَيَدَعُونَ أَهْلَ الْأَوْثَانِ"
Translation: "They will kill the people of Islam (Muslims) and leave the idol-worshippers (disbelievers) alone."
The Prophet ﷺ further said: "If I were to find their time, I would kill them as the people of ‘Aad were killed."
Sahih Muslim: Book of Zakat, Hadith No. 1064
Mishkat al-Masabih: Hadith No. 5894
Yet it is this very fitna of the Khawarij that is flourishing under the patronage of the Afghan Taliban — they martyr Muslims while becoming allies of India. The clearest proof of this is the recent fatwa of Noor Wali Mehsud, in which he declares support for India against Pakistan to be permissible.
On the other hand, these same Afghan Taliban have given free rein to the flag-bearers of liberalism and communism — the fitna of Hindutva — regarding whom there are clear commands in the Ahadith:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
"ليس منا من دعا إلى عصبية، وليس منا من قاتل على عصبية، وليس منا من مات على عصبية"
Translation: "He is not one of us who calls to tribalism (nationalism), he is not one of us who fights on the basis of tribalism, and he is not one of us who dies upon tribalism."
(Reference: Sunan Abi Dawud: 5121)
At this moment, Haibatullah is openly defending those who hold the doctrine of tribalism (jahiliyyah) against the only Islamic ideological state in the world.
Then there is Mullah Haibatullah’s third anti-Pakistan ally: India, concerning which the Quran clearly states:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِنْ دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۚ أَتُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَجْعَلُوا لِلَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ سُلْطَانًا مُبِينًا
Translation: "O you who have believed, do not take the disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Do you wish to give Allah a clear argument against yourselves?"
(Surah An-Nisa: 144)
الَّذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِنْ دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۚ أَيَبْتَغُونَ عِنْدَهُمُ الْعِزَّةَ فَإِنَّ الْعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًا
Translation: "Those who take the disbelievers as allies instead of the believers — do they seek honor with them? But indeed, honor belongs to Allah entirely."
(Surah An-Nisa: 139)
Now they are seeking honor from the hands of India, while the blessed Ahadith contain clear commands:
The Noble Prophet ﷺ said:
"سِبَابُ الْمُسْلِمِ فُسُوقٌ وَقِتَالُهُ كُفْرٌ"
Translation: "Abusing a Muslim is wickedness (fisq), and fighting him is disbelief (kufr)."
(Sahih al-Bukhari: 48, Sahih Muslim: 64)
In light of all these commands of the Quran and Hadith, it is clear that the Afghan Taliban, who outwardly wear the cloak of Islam, have, in their rebellion and misguidance, cast aside all Islamic rulings behind their backs, and their weapons are now being used only against Muslims.
If this is not the worst degree of hypocrisy, then what is?
You decide for yourselves.
