{ So fight in the cause of Allah; you are not held accountable except for yourself; and urge the Believers on } Al-nisaa 84

Ibn ‘Atiyya said: This is expressed clearly, except that nothing was ever said about fighting being made an obligation for him and not for the ummah, for any length of time. The meaning – but Allah knows best – is that this is addressed to him as expressed, but what is said is an example for every individual regarding himself in particular, that is: You, oh Muhammad, and everyone in your ummah is told: { So fight in the cause of Allah; you are not held accountable except for yourself } . For this reason every Believer is to wage jihad, even if by himself; out of this comes what the Prophet (SAW) said: I swear by Allah indeed I will fight them until my neck is split apart. [Sahih Al-Bukhari].
