THE MAKTAB EFFORT—TO SAVE THE UMMAH
A curse greater than the kuffaar missionary threat is the jahaalat of Muslims.While kuffaar missionaries have spun their satanic web to snatch from Islam ignorant Muslims afflicted with poverty, the jahaalat of Muslims threaten to be more effective than the missionary activity in achieving the goal which the missionaries have set to themselves. Their goal is the conversion of the Ummah to their cult of kufr.
THE LANDS OF ISLAM
Ironical but true, is the fact that there is greater ignorance of Islam among Muslims in the lands of Islam than in the lands of the kuffaar. In non-Muslim countries, minority Muslim communities have made some arrangements for the basic Deeni education of their children. But in Muslim countries and in such non-Muslim lands where the Muslim communities constitute very large segments of the population, Deeni education has been completely abandoned — in fact, regarded as obsolete, unnecessary and even an obstacle in the attainment of worldly goals.
As a result of this attitude millions of Muslim children all over the world, especially in remote villages, have been alienated from Islam. The present generations of Muslim children are ready fodder for the vast kufr machinery of Shaitaan and his agents, the missionaries.
JAHAALAT
Jahaalat has taken such a toll of Muslims in general and of the children in particular, that the need for missionaries to achieve the kufrization of the present generations of Muslim children is no longer an essential requirement of the Kufr Machine. Once these children who have been totally alienated from Islam by sheer ignorance, attend secular institutions, their abandonment of Islam needs no formality because they are already confirmed renegades —their ties with Islam having been severed even before they gained admission to the secular schools.
THE URGENT NEED
The urgent and imperative need is for concerned Muslims to come to the aid of this stricken Ummah. It is our Waajib duty to embark on the effort to save the millions of Muslim children —the Ummah of tomorrow—from the cauldron of kufr and from being lost to Islam. The Effort to redeem them has already been put into motion by several groups of concerned Ulama. One such group is the Mujlisul Ulama of South Africa which is engaged in its Maktab project and struggle.
THE STRUGGLE
This Struggle involves the establishment of Maktabs —small Madrasahs — in villages to cater for elementary Islamic education in a bid to save the Imaan of the children. Alhamdulillaah, we are presently operating in more than a thousand villages and providing by the fadhl of Allah Ta'ala Deeni Ta'leem for over a hundred thousand children who a couple of years ago were ready fodder for the Kufr Machine.
There is no other way - no better way than these Maktabs for educating the children and safeguarding their Imaan and fortifying them against the onslaught of the kuffaar missionaries operating under guise of relief agencies offering bread for Imaan.
The answer for this calamity of kufr which is raging through the lands of Islam is not feeding schemes and relief work. Although these activities too are of importance and necessary, the lasting cure for the malady of kufr threatening to wipe out large segments of the Ummah is Deeni education.
OUR DUTY
The Muslim community snug in its affluence and in its deceptive refuge of safety in the prosperous lands, has forgotten their obligation to the suffering Ummah. It is our Islamic and incumbent duty to utilize part of the wealth Allah Ta'ala has bestowed to us for saving the children of the Ummah. The cost of operating a hut-type Maktab in a village is about R6000 ($600) for a whole year. This is indeed a paltry sum for a noble purpose, the thawaab of which cannot be computed in any terms.
WASTE AND EXTRAVAGANCE
Every wealthy Muslim should examine his heart and seek an honest answer from his soul regarding the large sums of money he squanders in haraam and unnecessary luxuries and comparitively speaking the neglible amount he spends to build his Palaces in Jannat. It is your duty to put your shoulder to this incumbent Struggle and Project of the Deen to save the Children of Islam from being lost to Islam. It is your Waajib duty to assist us to uphold this Standard of Jihad.
LOST
The Ummah has lost all its political domination. The Jihad in the political field is lost and will remain so until Allah Ta’ala decides a different course and to turn the tables. But the Jihad in the field to sustain the Imaan of the future Ummah is alive and being carried on a variety of fronts.
