Following The Rule Of The Land & Rebellion Against The State
This is not the complete view of Ghamidi Sahab as presented in the question: “ As i understand his views, its basically that “accept the reality”, and don’t rebel. And that Allah’s help is with those who remain unarmed and pacifists .” When facing extreme oppression in the context of Palestine Israel conflict, it is advice of Ghamidi Sahab to accept the reality and buy time for your nation from the oppressor so that you can build them and educate them. Also, don’t violate any ethical boundaries in accordance with Quran. Islam does not support vigilante justice, rather there are very strict conditons when it comes to the obligation of Jihad and in the absence of those conditions, Jihad does not become obligatory. In such conditions, it is better to buy time for the nation than to sacrifice future generations based on reckless decisions of today. However, already living within a state is a different scenario than the one discussed above. If one genuinely considers the government of his time to be a tyrant or illegitimate, then there is always room open for peaceful resistance, this is where stating of Kalma-e-Haq in front of a tyrant applies; but without putting any other person’s life in danger. For open rebellion, which puts life, wealth and honour of other citizens in jeopardy, the conditions are very strict.
