He says,
The day of the war, to run away
without the instruction of the commander is a
major sin.
In fact, there is a verse of the
Quran that tells that to us.
At a time of war,
when you are a warrior and you are
going forth to fight the enemy,
to run away, or to turn back from
that,
And without the instruction of the commander, you
would actually be considered a person who engaged
in a major sin.
What happens to a believer when he is
in a war zone, and he has to
fight on to protect
the Ummah or his people or whoever else
it may be? One of 2 good things
happened
to him.
Either
there is victory on the ground, so we
are victorious. Or
he is considered a martyr because he lost
his life and he will get Jannah. Was
there a loss? In actual fact, for a
believer, there was no loss. The idea here
is to strengthen the warriors, to tell them,
you do not go back.
Make sure you follow the instructions of the
commander. You know the battle of Uhud. Some
of the people did not follow the instruction
of the prophet
and they came down from a certain hillock
where they were supposed to be guarding. And
that caused a lot of destruction
for the Muslims.
May Allah
grant us goodness.
