Comment:

In the last two weeks this is the second time COAS has spoken for Gaza and both times the words did not do justice to the position he holds. Previously in a corps commander meeting, held on Tuesday, 17 October 2023, the COAS said: “The Palestinian people have “unequivocal diplomatic, moral and political support of the Pakistani nation” and vowed to support the end to “unlawful occupation of their territories”. The evening of the same day witnessed a horrendous attack on Al Ahli Hospital, resulting in the deaths of at least 500 people. A week after this attack COAS had the nerve to express his grave concern over the deaths of these innocent civilians, the majority of them being women and children. Over the past 18 days, the Gaza Strip has borne witness to a devastating toll on its children, with a reported 2,360 fatalities and a reported 5,364 injuries, this makes it 400 children reportedly either killed or injured daily.

The situation in Gaza needs a solution and the Western-backed ‘Israeli’ solution is silent vaporization of its local inhabitants. The problem is not in killing them, the problem is in the noise they are making. The resistance is not comprehensible for the Jews and their allies because they are masters of deception and cruelty and what they face is the purest form of bravery. Muslims of Gaza believe in jihad and are ready to sacrifice their lives while fighting in the way of Allah (swt). The Western objective is different, the US and European interests in the region are benefit-oriented. Keeping good ties with the Jewish entity is important for the USA to keep the Middle East under control and Europe does not want to have the troublesome Jews again on its land.

History has witnessed the treatment Jews received from their current friends and allies. They were hated, persecuted, and segregated, and finally were expelled, having no place to go. In 1290, King Edward I expelled all Jews from England, and was swiftly followed by France in 1306, Switzerland in 1348, and Germany in 1394. The common attitude of officials was summed up by a declaration made by the Holy Roman Emperor Louis VI in 1343, ‘You belong to us, body and belongings, and we can dispose of them and do with you as we please’.

On the other hand, Muslims have helped Jews throughout history. When Spain expelled Jews (after the conquest of Andalus), it was Sultan Bayazid II who welcomed the influx of Spanish Jews, while many other nations in Europe treated them cruelly. There are stories published in famous newspapers like The Times and The Washington Post, of Muslims who risked their lives to rescue Jewish people from the Nazis during World War II. After the colonization of the Muslim world, the Ummah turned into different nations with boundaries drawn by the colonial masters and puppet rulers appointed over them. These rulers and their armies were given free hand to loot and plunder the areas they ruled and this is how they sold their afterlife for the pleasures of this Dunya.

Narrated Thawban: The Prophet (saw) said:

«يُوشِكُ الْأُمَمُ أَنْ تَدَاعَى عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَا تَدَاعَى الْأَكَلَةُ إِلَى قَصْعَتِهَا فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ وَمِنْ قِلَّةٍ نَحْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ بَلْ أَنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ كَثِيرٌ وَلَكِنَّكُمْ غُثَاءٌ كَغُثَاءِ السَّيْلِ وَلَيَنْزَعَنَّ اللَّهُ مِنْ صُدُورِ عَدُوِّكُمْ الْمَهَابَةَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَيَقْذِفَنَّ اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ الْوَهْنَ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الْوَهْنُ قَالَ حُبُّ الدُّنْيَا وَكَرَاهِيَةُ الْمَوْتِ»

The people will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their dish. Someone asked: Will that be because of our small numbers at that time? He replied: No, you will be numerous at that time: but you will be scum and rubbish like that carried down by a torrent, and Allah will take fear of you from the breasts of your enemy and last enervation into your hearts. Someone asked: What is wahn (enervation). Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): He replied: Love of the world and dislike of death. (Sunan Abi Dawud 4297 Grade: Sahih (Al-Albani))

Ummah of Rasool Allah is suffering because of the powerful few who have developed a love for Dunya and have sold the people and land of Allah (swt). Muslim Ummah is joined by heart but divided physically and God-fearing Muslims act according to their faith in Islam and help the oppressed. They understand the difference between being brave and being barbaric. Killing innocent people and destroying their homes is an act of cowardice and this is what Jews are doing with the help and support of not only the Western world but the Muslim rulers as well. The people of Gaza have been fighting since 1948.

Thousands have achieved martyrdom and as many are ready to be martyred including the people of surrounding areas like Egypt, Lebanon, and Iraq. Muslims around the world feel the pain and cry for their innocent brothers and sisters and are desperate to help them. What is stopping these civilians from reaching out to their Muslim brothers and sisters? Their traitor Muslim rulers. These rulers have always given the Ummah the impression that they are weak and cannot afford to fight. Resistance and advance of Palestinian troops have proved the traitors and their Western masters wrong. Muslim armies have the capability to destroy Israel in a day. And this will open the doors of Dunya and Akhirah for them.

Jerusalem (al-Quds) was captured twice and both times armies from outside, understanding their duty made it possible. Once again it waits for the Muslim armies from outside to be saved. The Muslim Ummah and the world is in dire need of the establishment of Khilafah (Caliphate). Servants of Allah will prosper and increase in number and the Islamic State will be a role model for the whole world as it will be created in obedience to Allah’s divine rules. In this State, Jihad will bring victories and authority, instead of charred bodies of thousand children.

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَتَّخِذُواْ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى أَوْلِيَاء بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاء بَعْضٍ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ]

“Believers! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for your allies. They are the allies of each other. And among you he who takes them for allies, shall be regarded as one of them. Allah does not guide the wrong-doers.” [Al-Maida: 51]
