I am going to start posting old lessons from Syria's undisputedly most important Revolutionary Figure:
Shaykh Abu Yazan al-Shami, May Allah Have mercy upon his soul.
Title: Indeed, You Are a Clear Deviant (Laghawi Mubeen)" — a reference to the story of Prophet Musa (Moses) in Surah Al-Qasas.

X. Context Matters — What’s appropriate in strength is harmful in weakness
Not every form of bold action is wise. What might seem courageous in times of power can be devastating during times of vulnerability. Uncalculated provocations can: Invite unnecessary battles,
Strengthen the enemy,
Undermine strategic objectives.
📖 Story of Musa (AS) — A Blueprint for Caution
Verse 15–16 (Surah Al-Qasas)
“And he entered the city at a time of heedlessness, and found two men fighting: one from his own people and one from his enemies. The one from his group called upon him for help, so Musa struck the other and killed him.” Musa (AS) entered quietly, cautious due to the oppressive context. A fellow Israelite pulled him into a confrontation with a Copt (from Pharaoh’s people).
Musa intended only to push him away — not kill — but the action cost dearly.
Musa immediately acknowledged it was from the work of Satan, and repented: “Indeed, I have wronged myself, so forgive me.” "I will never again be a supporter of the criminals."
🔑 Lesson: A single impulsive act, even unintentional, can derail a whole mission — especially when you're still vulnerable.
Verse 18–19
“The next day, the same man from his group again called for help. Musa said: ‘Indeed, you are a clear deviant (Laghawi Mubeen).’” The man clearly hadn’t learned. He pulled Musa into a second unnecessary conflict. This time, Musa refused — realizing the pattern.
Another Egyptian exposed Musa’s prior killing, labeling him a tyrant — and suddenly, Musa became a fugitive. 🔑 Lesson: Reckless individuals can become liabilities. Their actions:
Undermine the greater mission,
Invite collective punishment,
Justify enemy retaliation.
Verse 20–21
“And a man came running from the far side of the city, saying: ‘O Musa! The chiefs are plotting to kill you — leave, I am giving you sincere advice.’ So he fled, fearful and watchful, saying: ‘My Lord, save me from the wrongdoing people.’” Musa had to abandon the field entirely. What began as a minor confrontation snowballed into full-blown political persecution. Strategic failure was the result — and a delayed mission.
🧠 Strategic Insight:
The Shaykh draws a critical parallel: In modern-day jihad movements, some individuals: Incite side battles during moments of weakness, Pursue ideological purity at the cost of unity and strategy, Serve — knowingly or not — the interests of enemies. He warns:
“These outbidders give the enemies of Islam the excuse they need to unite, invade, and destroy projects that aren’t yet ready for such confrontation.”
🛡 Final Reflection:
This story is not just a tale for personal reflection — it is a strategic manual for:
Movements, Leaderships, States.
It distinguishes between:
Temporary, emotional victories fueled by zeal,
And lasting, strategic victories built on patience, wisdom, and foresight.
🛑 Sometimes, one man’s recklessness can undo years of da’wah, struggle, and sacrifice.
📖 So learn from Musa (AS), and don’t allow the “clear deviants” among your own ranks to hijack the mission.
