Responding to Continued Desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood” conducted by a few Brave Mujahedeen has left no Excuse for Our Military to Act on liberating Al-Aqsa
Responding to continued desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and increased violence by the illegal occupiers, a few brave Mujahideen of Gaza strip launched operation “Al-Aqsa Flood” against the illegal Jewish entity on October 7, 2023. It consisted of unprecedented land-air-sea attack. The Mujahideen have launched more than 5,000 rockets in an initial barrage targeting enemy positions, airports, and military fortifications. They have breached ‘high-security’ barriers and penetrated into enemy territories in a number of different locations in vehicles, boats and motorized paragliders. Dozens of the enemy soldiers are taken hostages, and a good number of their main battle tanks, armored personnel carriers and hundreds of tactical vehicles were captured by the Mujahideen. By having the Zionist forces totally blindsided and off-guarded, the attack has shattered the age-old myth of the ‘invincible’ defense system and ‘strongest’ intelligence power of this illegal state that is in existence just only due to the betrayal and treachery of the rulers of the Muslim lands. Allah (SWT) says, “Even united, they (Jews) would not dare fight against you except from within fortified strongholds or from behind walls. Their malice for each other is intense: you think they are united, yet their hearts are divided. That is because they are a people with no real understanding” [Surah Al-Hashr: 14].
O Muslims in Bangladesh, the bravery of a few Muslim Mujahideen of the Blessed Land of Masrah (isra’ and mi’raj) in Palestine has shaken the so-called powerful illegal entity of ‘Israel’ and exposed the fragility of the illegal coward entity. They have shown to the world that eradicating ‘Israel’ from the map is very much possible and simply a matter of political will of the Muslim lands. Their heroic operation has revived the confidence in the Ummah, unveiled the betrayal of the rulers in charge, and reignited the spirit of Jihad for the sake of Allah Azza Wa Jal. They have inspired the shared vision that if such a small group of impoverished Muslims could overwhelm one of the most ‘impressive armed forces’ of the world, then what would happen if the powerful armies of all the Muslims lands get united under the imminent Khilafah Rashidah (rightly-guided Caliphate). So, you must play your part in this cause of liberating the sacred Al Aqsa by redoubling your efforts for the Khilafah. Raise your voices with the chant ‘our military must liberate Jerusalem’ and call upon your sincere relatives and friends within the armed forces to immediately grant nussrah (material support) to Hizb ut Tahrir to bring back the Khilafah.
O Sincere Officers of the Bangladesh’s Armed Forces, the time has come for you to come out of deep slumber. When your courageous brothers have dealt a severe blow to the Zionist occupiers without any sophisticated weaponries, what is your excuse for not marching towards Palestine? The brave sons of the Ummah have waged Jihad and abandoned the world and its pleasure for the sake of Allah are in dire need of your support now, and Allah (SWT) commands you to support them, “But if they ask you for help in respect of the deen, it is your duty to help them” [Surah Al-Anfal, 8:72]. You have the material power to trample the betraying rulers who are the main obstacle on the way to annihilate the occupation of the Blessed Land. These treacherous rulers will call for ceasefire and de-escalation of the conflict just only to prolong this occupation. But the only solution to end this perpetual occupation is to break the false borders and remove its rulers, unite with the neighboring Muslim armies, and march towards the Blessed Land of Masrah of RasulAllah ﷺ as one single Khilafah. Allah (swt) says:
*وَمَا لَكُمْ لاَ تُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنْ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَاجْعَل لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ وَلِيًّا وَاجْعَل لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ نَصِيرًا*
“And what is it with you? You do not fight in the cause of Allah and for oppressed men, women, and children who cry out – Our Lord! Deliver us from this land of oppressors! Appoint for us a saviour; appoint for us a helper—all by Your grace.” [Surah An-Nisa: 75]
