NYC Imam Ibn Muneer: “Islam Without Jihad Is Like Honey Without the Sweetness”

NYC Imam Muhammad Ibn Muneer advises Muslims: “Islam without (violent) jihad is like honey without sweetness”, and ”Never apologize for speaking the truth about Jihad, Jews, and Christians – such as saying that Jews have earned Allah’s wrath.”
MEMRI published on Dec 17, 2018: During a December 5, 2018 class that was streamed live on the Hadith Disciple YouTube channel, New York cleric “Mufti” Muhammad Ibn Muneer said that while there are different types of martyrs in Islam, one should not confuse any of them with the martyr who was killed in battle, who holds the highest status of martyrdom. He warned the audience not to treat lesser forms of Jihad, such as seeking knowledge and giving da’wa, as if they are equal to fighting for the sake of Allah. Ibn Muneer said that when a Muslim makes a comment about Christians or Jews, such as saying that the Jews have earned Allah’s wrath, he may face repercussions such as being called an extremist or terrorist. He also said that trying to remove Jihad from the Quran and the Sunnah is like “removing sweetness from honey.” He added: “Your feelings have no value [or] worth in light of the Quran and Sunnah. If you don’t believe and understand that, then maybe Islam is not the religion for you.” The class was held at Masjid Ahlis-Sunnah Wal-Jama’ah in Queens, New York. Ibn Munner, who was born in Philadelphia and whose Hadith Disciple YouTube channel has over 10,000 subscribers, recently went on a speaking tour at several mosques in the United Kingdom. During the tour he appeared on the “Freshly Grounded” podcast, which also has over 10,000 YouTube subscribers.
