Killing, Burning Alive, Starvation and Siege. So, Where Are You, O Ummah of Islam?!
(Translated)
The Gaza Strip is subjected to genocide in a way that would make the trees speak, if there were any trees left within it. It would make the stones cry, that are tied to the stomachs of its people through hunger, or that are destroyed over their heads, or that are irrigated by their blood, or that hear their groans from wounding and burning. So where are you, O Ummah of Islam?
The cries for help from the people of Gaza and the Blessed Land have reached the horizons. Their voices have reached the heavens. They say, “O Ummah of Islam, either you help us, or we will perish and be annihilated. Then, what of your excuse before Allah (swt)?”
Today, northern Gaza is weeping. Every stone within it is crying out to you, and seeking your support. They know, as you know, that if you do not reach them with your armies, then who among the peoples will? If the Islamic Ummah had declared Jihad in the Path of Allah, and mobilized to the Blessed Land, but was unable to liberate the land of Isra’, we would have said that a person can only do what he is able to do. However, an Ummah that possesses millions of soldiers is not helpless. Instead, it is capable of eliminating the criminal entity of the Jews, which would be shaken by a march, with its entity overturned. So where is the excuse before Allah (swt), and where is the apology?
O Ummah of Muhammad (saw). O Best Ummah Brought Forth for Humanity:
You have learned that what has prevented the Islamic Ummah and its soldiers from supporting their brothers is neither inability, nor a lack of determination, nor the soldiers’ fear of death. Indeed, in the Ummah there are thousands of thousands, or more, like Maher Al-Jazi and Muhammad Salah. Indeed, in the Ummah there are thousands of thousands, or more, who love death in the Path of Allah (swt), just as the enemy loves life. However what has prevented you and your soldiers from supporting them are the rulers, who have prevented you from supporting your brothers. Instead, the rulers have supported your enemy in killing your brothers. So how can you be patient with the rulers?! How can you not trample the rulers underfoot?!
We seek support from our Ummah, not for the Ummah to take to the streets in solidarity or in pain. Instead we want the Ummah to carry one single call: mobilize the soldiers and warplanes, open the borders, and declare mobilization and Jihad in the Path of Allah (swt). So let the mothers call out to their sons in the army: “Let us be bereaved of you, if you do not support Gaza and move to liberate Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa.”
Allah (swt) selects His chosen ones for great missions. Whoever hopes in Allah (swt) and the Last Day has no choice but to expose himself to the Breaths of Allah’s Mercy, and His Selection, by sacrificing his life. This is so that he may be among those whom Allah (swt) has determined to be among the soldiers that liberate Baytul Maqdis. This is so that the inhabitants of both the heavens and the earth are pleased with him.
It is not befitting for the Ummah of Muhammad (saw) and its soldiers to let themselves down by depriving the Blessed Land of support. We find no choice before, or after, this except to address you with the Words of Allah (swt), ﴿يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ انْفِرُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أَرَضِيتُمْ بِالْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ (٣٨) إِلَّا تَنْفِرُوا يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا وَيَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ وَلَا تَضُرُّوهُ شَيْئًا وَاللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ﴾ “O you who have believed, what is the matter with you that when you are told to go forth in the cause of Allah, you adhere heavily to the earth? Are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? What is the enjoyment of worldly life compared to the Hereafter except for a little (38) If you do not go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment and will replace you with another people, and you will not harm Him at all. And Allah has power over all things.” (TMQ Surah At-Tawbah 38-39). Sufficient for us is Allah (swt), and He is the best Disposer of Affairs. Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.
