Request for a Jihad Ruling by Sunni Scholars Against U.S. Leaders and Interests and the Zionist Regime Worldwide in Case of Any Attack on the Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful “And victory is only from Allah, the Almighty, the All-Wise.” (Quran 3:126) To the Leaders of Islamic Countries, Noble Scholars and Thinkers of the Muslim World, and Dear Muslim Youth, While congratulating the Islamic Republic of Iran’s victory over the U.S. and the Zionist regime—a triumph of Islam over disbelief—we declare the following: The vile Zionist regime, whose illegitimate inception was rooted in violence, shaped by the dirty policies of the British and the wicked strategies of the Americans, persists like a malignant tumor upon the body of Islamic nations. This bloodthirsty regime, with the aid of its infidel allies, occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem) and the first Qibla of Muslims. Not a day passes without it massacring defenseless Palestinian children and women, and these shameless crimes continued until the brave youth of Gaza, pushed to their limits, created an unparalleled epic on October 7th—challenging the hollow dominance of this regime and its supporters in security, military, and even economic dimensions through Operation Al-Aqsa Storm. Following these events, segments of the Mujahideen (strugglers) from Islamic nations, in accordance with the noble Quranic verse: “And what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah and for the oppressed among men, women, and children?” (Quran 4:75) rose in support of the defenseless Palestinian people, willingly sacrificing their lives in this confrontation against the belligerent disbelievers. Thus, this cancerous entity, with the help of the aggressive U.S. and some self-serving nations, has turned against the Islamic supporters of Palestine—bombing several Islamic countries, martyring countless helpless civilians, and assassinating Mujahideen such as the martyred Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashim Safieddine, alongside Palestinian martyrs like Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar, whose only crime was defending Al-Aqsa Mosque (the first Qibla of Muslims) and standing up for oppressed children and women. This further exposed the savage nature of this regime. This bloodthirsty, executioner regime, which deluded itself into believing it faced no resistance in the Islamic world—wallowing in false pride from its attacks on defenseless Muslims—suddenly, with the criminal support of the U.S., decided to attack the Islamic Republic of Iran, the great supporter of the oppressed Palestinian people. In a mirage-like analysis, they thought they could overthrow the Iranian government, but instead, they were plunged into a vast quagmire and suffered a crushing defeat—all while failing to erase the flag of resistance movements like Hamas or force the surrender of Yemen’s resistance. Today, the fabricated Zionist regime, alongside the U.S. and its Western backers, has decided to wage war against every single Islamic nation. If yesterday they invaded Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, and other Islamic regions, today they have turned their attention to Iran. The shameless Trump, in violation of all international laws, spoke of eliminating the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic—the great leader of the Islamic Resistance Front. Know this: tomorrow, it will be the turn of other Islamic nations and their leaders, for the belligerent disbelievers have embarked on a civilizational war—a clash between Western civilization and Islamic civilization. Today is like the Battle of the Trench (Ahzab), where “Islam stood united against all disbelief.” And indeed, their wickedness will persist until the complete destruction of disbelief.
Today, we—the scholars, thinkers, and intellectuals of Sunni Islam in Iran—declare with a resounding voice, in adherence to the Quran and Prophetic tradition, that standing firm and resisting these belligerent disbelievers is a divine obligation. It is time for the leaders, thinkers, and warriors of Islamic nations to “be stern against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves” (Quran 48:29) and to become the instruments of divine retribution. By taking a clear stance against the Zionist regime and confronting all U.S. bases, embassies, and companies worldwide—should any aggression be committed against the Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran—they must halt any further advance of these belligerent disbelievers. They must not fear the blame of the arrogant, for today is the day of the battle of wills. With divine assistance and unified resolve, this enemy can be defeated. Once again, dignity and glory will return to the Islamic Ummah, and we can determine the grand equations of the world. Today is the day of choice, will, and action—the day to act upon the noble verse: “Do not weaken or grieve, for you will be superior if you are [true] believers.” (Quran 3:139) Know that with steadfastness on the path of truth, victory and triumph will come, as Allah the Exalted has said: “And if only they had upheld [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to them from their Lord, they would have consumed [provision] from above them and from beneath their feet.” (Quran 5:66) Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
“Victory is only from Allah!” The Zionist regime, a cancerous tumor on the Islamic world, continues its brutal crimes against Palestinians. But the brave resistance of Gaza on Oct. 7 shattered its false power. Now, with U.S. backing, this regime threatens Iran—the heart of Islamic resistance. We, Sunni scholars of Iran, declare: Resisting this aggression is a divine duty. Islamic leaders must unite, confront Zionist & U.S. interests worldwide, and defend the Islamic Revolution. The Quran says: “Do not weaken—you will prevail if you are believers!” (3:139) With faith & unity, victory is certain. #IslamicResistance#FreePalestine#DownWithZionism
