WMD and US Nuclear Policy

Muslims must not be deceived by the idea of WMD as a negative security policy.

Nuclear weapons are tools of foreign and military policy. When such technology is harnessed to the interest of the Khilafah state it will tremendously enhance the security of the Ummah and allow us to project the call to the Deen and facilitate our interests. The determination to deploy it must be consonant with its possession. The Messenger of Allah [sallallahu alaihi wa sallam] acquired all manner of military technology in order to determine the security of the new Islamic state in Madinah and to equip the army of jihad to further the call of Islam and spread its leadership. It was indispensable to have a strong military force to engage the enemies of Islam at that time. This requirement hasn’t changed today nor should it.

"Make ready for them all you can of (armed) force and of horses tethered, to cast terror into the hearts of your enemy and the enemy of Allah and besides those whom you do not know but Allah knows." [TMQ Al-Anfaal: 60].

Khilafah.com Journal is a good link to reference. I've learned the most from this online magazine. There are quite number of archived articles in there. Keep this link handy.

re your post no. 5025...

Yep, I've seen a lenthy discussion among scholars, clerics, and others who wondered if they should have nukes or not, but that was within
the last six months. Your article looks more recent.

Thanks.
