Ok, so a quick translation that is not 100% correct due to the level of the Sheikhs arabic and my english

"In reality what I think is that if muslims were given victory today then they would not be capable/not prepared to handle that responsibility. In my opinion, I think that Allah swt will give us victory when we are capable/prepared to deal with it.
Why? I'am proud, and one of the most things that I'am proud of is that when the Nabi a.s entered Mecca after they fought him for 23 years (begins to cry), he said "leave today for you are the free" which means there is no need to fear. I mean these are people that fought him for a great period of time, however this is the best of creation, he differs from the rest of mankind, he is the best of creation!
He said, "there is no need to fear whoever enters the house of Abu Sufyan". Abu sufyan the one who fought him with harshness.

Similarly Salah Al Dinne I'am proud that when he entered Al Quds he dealt with them in such a supreme way that even the englishmen have attested to his favours and virtues, I want this Islam as this is what I became attached to I did not become attached to the revenge, the loathing and the hatred, I'am just being honest

So the way I see it is that when muslims have those characteristics that are the heart of Islam then Allah SWT will give us victory, I have no doubt, but this victory will be with 'hilm' (mercy/ treating those with mercy who treat you with harshness) so that those who come after us are proud of us and don't see us as those who claim to be ruling according to Gods commands and burn churches, as that man did when those Christians were his dhimma, in reality he is an embarrassment to Islam. Although, he has lived, and his actions are recorded in history and the one who followed him, the Khalifa who rebuilt the church anew and apologised to the christians for what happened, this is the one who we are proud of we are not proud of a man of vengeance and hatred but a man who is just, a man who handled his responsibility and this is what we ask of our brothers.

As the Dr. has already mentioned, Jihad for us is fard we do not deny that at all and this is a right for all people, that they defend themselves but what we want is jihad and not war and there is a difference. Because, Jihad is to raise the word of God and not for revenge (missed a part here) but it is only to raise the word of God and if the goal is to raise the word of Allah SWT then I have no doubt that this ummah wil be given victory but if the goals are not for this then from the tawfik (translation?) of Allah SWT that this umma will not be given victory.

Because they an embarrassment for this the ummah and an embarrassment to our history and to the Prophet peace be upon him. I mean our Umma is his Ummah and if we do not follow his supreme Sunnah that he paved for us then we have no right to say (doesn't finish) as Allah SWT says in the Quran "are you Muslims" that is the question are you Muslim?"

I'm sure there are mistakes in this quick translation but Inshallah you can basically understand what he is saying.

السلام عليكم
he raised amazing point!!!
Nasrullah for the translation.




The anecdotes of Hazrath Maulana Ilyasji rh:

#10:

Replying to the question raised, viz. "Why are Muslims not granted rulership and leadership in the world?" he replied: "When we do not fulfill the commandments of Allah and refrain from the forbidden in our personal lives over which we have full control and there is no obstacle or compulsion, then how is it possible that we be entrusted with the governing of this world. It is only through the decision of Allah that the believers may be granted government on the earth so that they may seek His pleasure and establish His laws in this world. Now, when we are not doing this in the sphere of our own choice (in our individual lives), how can it be expected, when tomorrow we are given the reins of government. we shall do so?"
