Allah swt says:
“Whosoever does not judge by that which Allah has revealed, such are disbelievers.”
[TMQ Al-Ma’idah: 44]

“But no, by Your Lord, they can have no (real) faith until they make you judge in
all disputes between them and find in their souls no resistance against your decisions,
but accept them with the fullest submission.”
[TMQ An-Nisa: 65]

Do you think Sh. Muhammad Al Ya’qoubi should’ve been fired from his post for speaking out against the “oppressive, ALAWITE (not even Islamic for goodness sake)” government?

Didn’t the Prophet (SAW) say “The best Jihad is one speaks the word of truth in the face of an oppressive ruler?
أفضل الجهاد من قال كلمة حق عند سلطان جائر

Here’s an example you forgot. Let’s take the example of Imam Al-A’tham Abu Hanifa when he supported Zaid Bin Ali’s revolt against the Umayyads. He was active in his support against corrupt rulers.

Should we not be? Should we not at the very least speak a word of truth to governments who are turning their guns on innocent people? How could someone with “good conscious” say that this is what “they deserve”? Have a bit of sympathy and pray for our bros. and sis.

It’s easy for us in the west to sit comfortably in our air conditioned homes to criticize our bros. and sis. who’ve been living under decades of poverty, illiteracy, oppression, and discrimination.

the heads of theses movements don’t want the shari’ah the want the kufr way and are lying to the common people who maybe are sincere.

This show the ignorance of the ummah and their abandonment of the sunnah as our beloved Prophet saws said in a authentic hadeeth.

An authentic example worthy of mention it every time is Imam ahmad’s fitnah with his ruler, that ruler was oppressor in many ways even worse than this Assad and he didn’t REBELLED towards him even when such ruler said that the qur’an was create, wa la hawla wa la quwatta allah billah.

May Allah rectify our affairs and direct us to the authentic methodology of Islam.

Wa as salam alaykum

According to the “sacredknowledge” website, he was actually dismissed as a Friday speaker in a Damascus mosque which says a lot about the Syrian government.
