With regret and disappointment, the Muslim Ummah is facing the biggest calamity and mischief of its time. During the past few days, the political situation in Iraq has been deteriorating. In the beginning, the Takfiri terrorists attacked the city of Samarra targeting the Shrine of Imam al-Askari (AS). Then, they continued their attack on the city of Mosul and a number of nearby cities until taking control over the entire province of Naynawah.
To this day, reports reveal that the security situation in Iraq is dire as killings and threats are ongoing affecting all of Iraq and the greater region.
The situation is so serious and threatening that for the first time in a very long time since the 1930s, the grand Marjaeat in Iraq has pronounced a statement demanding and commanding the obligation of believers to take arms in defense of Iraq, its citizens, and the holy shrines of our beloved Imams (AS).
This determined attack is not only an attack on the followers of AhlulBayt (AS). The Sunni are also the victims of the Takfiris, hence, this is a case about protecting Islam and the Muslims.
Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani issued a statement declaring this obligation as Wajib Kefaee meaning it is not an obligatory command for all believers, however if there are not enough believers defending this cause, then more will be expected as a matter of obligation to step up and join the defense forces.
