The issue of Al-Aqsa and the blessed land of Palestine is a deep wound that has been inflicted upon the Muslims for over 70 years.
It has been the result of the criminal occupation by the illegal and brutal zionist entity, that has been protected by the United Nations, International Law, the International community and the treacherous regimes across the Muslim world.
In the recent escalation during the blessed month of Ramadhan, we have seen:
- The eviction of Palestinians from Sheikh Jarrah, which was named after the personal physician of Salahudeen Al-Ayoubi that had liberated Palestine from the Crusades
- The burning of lands in Burin village
- Attacking worshippers at Al-Aqsa, and
- The violation of sanctuary of Al-Aqsa
All this has been met with the anger of the Muslims but with the silence and complicity of the regimes across the Middle East that are each scrambling to make political and economic ties with the illegal zionist entity.
This serves as a constant reminder of how deep and fresh the wound is.
As the Muslims struggle to protect their properties, lands and vow to protect the sanctity of Al-Aqsa, it is not Al-Aqsa that bleeds but those that seek to defend it, their lands and properties.
As the Prophet (saw) looked at majesty of the House of Allah, the Ka’aba, he (saw) said, “How pure you are and how pure is your fragrance! How great you are and how great is your sanctity! By the one in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the sanctity of the believer is greater to Allah than your sanctity.” (Ibn Mahah)
How sacred is Al-Aqsa but how much more sacred is the blood of the believers.
And how shameless are the regimes in the Muslim world. In a month with the opportunity to receive the greatest blessings from Allah (swt) to respond to the calls of Al-Aqsa, how inactive they remain…bidding only to serve their colonial masters sitting in America, Britain or elsewhere.
O Muslims stand firm for the legitimate defense of Al-Aqsa, lands and properties. Let the world know that Islam and the Muslims will never accept the legitimacy of the zionist regime and their criminality and those that have legitimized it will never be forgotten.
O Muslims, the wound of Al-Aqsa, Palestine and those that are defending Al-Aqsa need to close, heal and be protected. This will only come under the leadership and protection of the Khilafah. How we yearn for this shield and protection as the Prophet (saw) said, “Verily the Imam is a shield behind whom you fight and are protected.”
O Armies of the Muslims, there is no honor is serving the impotent and corrupted regimes that only being shame and dishonor to Islam, your lands and your people. You are the sons of Salahudeen Al-Ayoubi. Wake up from your slumber and respond to the calls of Al Aqsa and the believers. Liberate the blessed land from the filth of zionism and be the vanguards that support the return of the Khilafah.
