This letter details exactly what this Ummah needs for success. This tells us how we, as Muslims can bring ourselves back from the pitfall we are in. Please don’t underestimate its importance and significance.
letter from Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (RA) to Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqas- Commander of The Muslim Army in Conquest of Persia. ''....Then After, i order you and all troops that are along with you to be obedient to Allah in all circumstances as this (being obedient to Allah) is better than the weapons against the enemy and a strong stratagem(device) in the war. I order you and the soldiers who are with you to be more cautious and afraid of your own crimes and sins (and do not commit them) than your enemy, as the crimes and sins of the soldiers are MORE DANGEROUS TO THEM THAN THEIR ENEMY.
The Muslims are victorious only because their enemies are disobedient to Allah, and had it not been so, we have no power over them, because neither our number is equal to their number, nor are our weapons like theirs. If we commit crimes and sins as they do, then they (our enemies) will have superiority over us in power and we will not gain victory over them. WE DO NOT OVERPOWER THEM WITH OUR STRENGHT. And you should also know that in this marching of yours (for Allah's cause) there are guards (Angels) upon you from Allah(to watch you) and they all know what you do. So be shy from them and do not commit Allah's disobedience(crimes and sins) while you are going in Allah's cause and do not say: 'Our enemy is worse than us, so they will not overpower
us.' Perhaps some people who are worse than the others may overpower the others as the (disbelievers) Magians overpowered the Children of Israel when they (the latter) involved themselves with Allah's disobedience(crimes and sins).
So they (disbelievers, Magians) entered the very innermost parts of their homes and it was a promise (completely) Fulfilled. And ask Allah the assistance's over your own selves,(to save you from the crimes and sins) just as you ask Allah for the victory over your enemies, I ask Allah for that, both for you and us.''{Our beloved Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said ‘ Among the nation of Bani Israel who lived before you, there were men sent who used to be inspired through guidance though they were not Prophets, and if there is any of such persons amongst my followers, it is Umar.’---------------------------
letter from Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (RA) to Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqas- Commander of The Muslim Army in Conquest of Persia. (1) ''....Then After, i order you and all troops that are along with you to be obedient to Allah in all circumstances { This letter transcends through time!} (2)”…. as this (being obedient to Allah) is better than the weapons against the enemy and a strong stratagem(device) in the war.(3:123-128) Allah had helped you at Badr, when ye were a contemptible little force; then fear Allah; thus May ye show your gratitude. Remember thou saidst to the Faithful: "Is it not enough for you that Allah should help you with three thousand angels (Specially) sent down? "Yea, - if ye remain firm, and act aright, even if the enemy should rush here on you in hot haste, your Lord would help you with five thousand angels Making a terrific onslaught. Allah made it but a message of hope for you, and an assurance to your hearts: (in any case) there is no help except from Allah. The Exalted, the Wise: That He might cut off a fringe of the Unbelievers or expose them to infamy, and they should then be turned back, frustrated of their purpose. (3) I order you and the soldiers who are with you to be more cautious and afraid of your own crimes and sins (and do not commit them) than your enemy,{ Refraining from sins is a safeguard against greater evils} as the crimes and sins of the soldiers are MORE DANGEROUS TO THEM THAN THEIR ENEMY. For crimes and sins removes the protection of ALLAH and they also removes ALLAH's guidance and open the door for satan to come in and bring disorder, confusion and wickedness. (4). The Muslims are victorious only because their enemies are disobedient to Allah, and had it not been so, we would have no power over them, because neither our number is equal to their number, nor are our weapons like theirs. {Yesterday the Muslims were victorious because they were obedient to ALLAH and to Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam). But today The Muslims are Subdue, overpowered and defeated All over the entire world only because they are disobedient to Allah, And disobedient to Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam). (5). If we commit crimes and sins as they do, then they (our enemies) will have superiority over us in power and we will not gain victory over them. {Today! As long as we are sinful we can only look forward to the punishment of ALLAH! in this world and also in the next.-- If we do our best to obey Allah and follow His commands and the Sunnah of Rasulallah( sallallahu alayhi wa salam) andwork hard to earn this great reward in this life we will have nothing to fear in this life}. (6). WE DO NOT OVERPOWER THEM WITH OUR STRENGHT. {BUT WITH OUR FEAR AND OBEDIENCE TO ALLAH AND OUR OBEDIENCE TO HIS RASULALLAH(SALLALLAHU ALAYHI WA SALAM)}. This is the cure for the disease of disobedience!} (7). And you should also know that in this marching of yours (for Allah's cause) there are guards (Angels) upon you from Allah(to watch you) and they all know what you do.{ These guards Angels are sent for two reasons to watch all that is done, and to protect the Muslims force and they know what the muslims army do, and They also know what the enemy is doing.(3:124-125) Remember thou saidst to the Faithful: "Is it not enough for you that Allah should help you with three thousand angels (Specially) sent down? "Yea, - if ye remain firm, and act aright, even if the enemy should rush here on you in hot haste, your Lord would help you with five thousand angels Making a terrific onslaught. (8). So be shy from them and do not commit Allah's disobedience(crimes and sins) while you are going in Allah's cause,{In today's world shyness is a great virtue, if we were shy of the guards Angels watching us, we should be more shy that ALLAH is watching and seeing everything we do.} (9). And do not say: 'Our enemy is worse than us, so they will not overpower us.' Perhaps some people who are worse than the others may overpower the others as the (disbelievers) Magians overpowered the Children of Israel when they (the latter) involved themselves with Allah's disobedience(crimes and sins). So they (disbelievers, Magians) entered the very innermost parts of their homes and it was a promise (completely) Fulfilled. {(In the last pass 7 centuries we have seen many great misfortunes and calamity Because We the muslim Ummah have been involving ourselves with Allah's disobedience(crimes and sins). We have seen many invasion in to the Muslims Lands, the mongol invasions,the crusades, colonialism ,imperialism, socialism,communism and capitalism,and now Democracy. } In this day and time When you have a people who take ALLAH's mercy for granted! Simply because they are wearing a title that they are not living up to and their attitude is that they are better than other,Going in to other countries establishing businesses and building masjids and ignoring the people and not inviting them to islam and mistreating the people as if they were the enemy! And also making friends with those who are against islam! Then many misfortunes can and will occur, for centuries if that behavior continue.,Islam is the Din of ALLAH and it is for all of humanity.
(10). And ask Allah the assistance's over your own selves,(to save you from the crimes and sins) just as you ask Allah for the victory over your enemies, I ask Allah for that, both for you and us.''----------------{Our beloved Muhammad Rasulallah( sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said ‘ Among the nation of Bani Israel who lived before you, there were men sent who used to be inspired through guidance though they were not Prophets, and if there is any of such persons amongst my followers, it is Umar.’
