  2. THE OTTOMAN JIHAD DECLARATION IN 1914 • The Ottoman declared Jihad against the allies of World War 1 on November 11, 1914 • The Jihad declaration was accompanied by the five connected fatwās: • Question: “When it occurs that enemies attack the Islamic world…, has Jihad then become incumbent upon all Muslims and has it become an individual duty for all Muslims…to hasten to partake Jihad with their goods and money? Answer: Yes.” • Question: “…Is it also incumbent upon all Muslims that are being ruled by these governments” (England, Russia, France) “to proclaim Jihad against them and to attack them? Answer: Yes.”

  3. THE OTTOMAN JIHAD DECLARATION IN 1914 • Question: “If some Muslims, now that the attainment of the aim depends on the fact that all Muslims hasten to partake in the Jihad, refrain from doing so, is this then, a great sin and do they deserve Divine wrath and punishment for their horrible sin? Answer: Yes”. • Question: “If the states…that are fighting against the Islamic government compel and force their Muslim population by [threatening them] to kill them and even to exterminate all members of their families, is it even…absolutely forbidden for them to fight against the troops of the Islamic countries and do they deserve the hell-fire, having become murderers? Answer: Yes” • Question: “Is it…a great sin to fight against Germany and Austria which are the allies of the Supreme Islamic Government and do they deserve a painful punishment in the Hereafter? Answer: Yes.”
