communists. For me it is a sacred duty to cooperate with the

forces of religion who have embraced the struggle against these

enemies of belief. Release me! Let me work to reform the

A conscientious person is duty bound to follow the voice of his

conscience and immediately seek ways to serve Allah's religion. Allah

will distinguish His servants who have true faith from those who

merely say "I have faith" yet avoid the struggle that faith demands.

Allah states in the Qur’an:

Do people think that they will be left to say, 'We believe,'

and they will not be tried? 125

In another verse Allah states that believers cannot attain true

faith and Paradise unless they struggle against irreligion:

Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while Allah

has not made evident those among you who struggle and

made evident those who are steadfast? 126
