O Armies of Muslims,
Who will Support Rafah, Jenin, and All of Palestine If You Do Not Support Them?!
(Translated)
Al-Hamdulillah Rabb Al-Alameen, who has obligated fighting upon us and made it a means to subdue the kufar, the people of disobedience, and a source of honor for the Muslims, the people of faith, as He, Subhanahu, said:
[قَاتِلُوهُمْ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ وَيُخْزِهِمْ وَيَنْصُرْكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَشْفِ صُدُورَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ]
“Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people” [At-Tawba:14].
Blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah, the Master of the Messengers and the Imam of the Mujahideen, and upon his family and companions, and those who follow him.
O Muslims, O Ummah of Islam:
The war on Gaza is approaching its eighth month, and we do not see anyone in the Islamic Ummah taking action! It is an unjust and sinful war, filled with killing and destruction, hunger and siege. And you, O Ummah of jihad, O best Ummah brought forth for humankind, you condemn it in your hearts and pray for us with your tongues, but when will you overthrow your treacherous rulers and mobilize your armies to support the blessed land and its people?!
O Islam: This cry was enough to motivate the army of Muslims, prompting its commanders and soldiers to rise, take action, and destroy the Mongol army on the Blessed Land of Palestine, stopping the invasion of what remained of the people of Islam and their cities.
And we, O Ummah of Islam, from this Blessed Land, cry out to your armies in Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Pakistan, and all Muslim countries, we cry out to you with a thousand cries of “O Islam” and say to you:
Rafah, Gaza, Jenin, and Al-Aqsa Mosque are calling for your help and the help of your armies. Will you respond? Will you answer the call?
O armies of the Ummah, do we not have a right to your support? Have you not read His words:
[وَإِنِ اسْتَنْصَرُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ النَّصْرُ]
“And if they seek help of you for the religion, then you must help,” [Al-Anfal:72].
So why do you not move in response to Allah, in support of your oppressed brothers, and to liberate Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Masra (night journey destination) of your Prophet?
O Great Army of Great Egypt Al-Kinanah:
O treasure of the Ummah and Kinanah of Islam, dedicated officers of the Egyptian army:
If the blood, the dismembered bodies, the destruction of homes, and the killing of men and women have not yet moved you, may our cry today stir you to action. You are part of us and we are part of you, and we will not despair of the goodness that is in your hearts.
O Army of Egypt: Who will support Rafah, Jenin, and all of Palestine if not you? You are capable, if you are sincere to Allah, of disciplining those who have incurred His Wrath, eradicating them, and liberating all of Palestine in a day or part of a day. How could you not, when you are the mighty army and your soldiers are among the best on earth! Overthrow the criminal Sisi, who conspires against Islam and Muslims and prevents you from performing your duty. Overthrow him and unite to establish the Deen, liberate Al-Aqsa Mosque, and support the oppressed. Allah (swt) says:
[فَلْيُقَاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ الَّذِينَ يَشْرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا بِالْآخِرَةِ وَمَنْ يُقَاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَيُقْتَلْ أَوْ يَغْلِبْ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِيهِ أَجْراً عَظِيماً]
“So let those fight in the cause of Allah who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter. And he who fights in the cause of Allah and is killed or achieves victory - We will bestow upon him a great reward.” [An-Nisa:74].
As for you, O army of Jordan, O noble ones in the land of assembly and fortitude: How can you endure what is happening in Rafah, Gaza, and Al-Aqsa?!
Do your hearts not burn with the desire to support the children and women, and with longing to pray in Al-Aqsa Mosque?
Or do you fear those upon whom Allah has decreed humiliation and misery, despite witnessing the resilience of the heroes facing them with light weapons? Does the steadfastness and bravery of the mujahideen not inspire you to join them in jihad for the sake of Allah, so that Allah may honor you with His victory and grant you the privilege of liberating the Blessed Land by your hands?
Break the thrones that shackle you and overthrow the rulers who prevent you from fulfilling what Allah has obligated upon you. Advance in the name of Allah and with His blessings to establish the Deen and support the oppressed.
[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ تَنْصُرُوا اللهَ يَنْصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُمْ]
“O you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will support you and plant firmly your feet.” [Muhammad:7]
As for Turkey and Pakistan:
From here, from the Blessed Land, from the wounded Palestine, we send a message to the people of Turkey and their mighty army, and to the people of Pakistan and their formidable army:
Your responsibility is immense, and your place in the hearts of Muslims is great. You are the people of war and combat, you have the numbers and the equipment. You lack neither soldiers nor weapons. What you need is a sincere, conscious political leadership with whom you can establish the Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate) on the path of the Prophethood. Then, in the name of Allah and following the footsteps of the Sahabah of the Messenger of Allah, you will advance to liberate Masra of the Messenger of Allah (saw) and spread Islam throughout the world.
O Muslims everywhere:
The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: «الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ لَا يَظْلِمُهُ وَلَا يَخْذُلُهُ وَلَا يَحْقِرُهُ» “A Muslim is a Muslim’s brother. He does not wrong, desert or despise him” (Sahih Muslim) So let not your condition be like that of those who remain silent in the face of their despotic rulers and abandon Gaza and Rafah until their fate is decided as the enemies of Islam wish. Let not your condition be like that of the regretful who say: "I was consumed when Gaza and Rafah were consumed." What then prevents the fall of the remaining cities of the Muslims into the hands of the enemies of the Ummah?!
As for you, O people of Gaza: Perhaps Allah will honor you in this world with a victory by the hands of your strong, righteous Muslim brethren, and in the Akhirah (Hereafter), Jannah beneath which rivers flow, prepared for the righteous.
[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ]
“O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allah intervenes between a man and his heart and that to Him you will be gathered.” [Al-Anfal:24].
O Allah, convey this good from us, and ease the hearts of the Muslims with it. Grant us support from You, and make us victorious. Al-Hamdulillah Rabb Al-Alameen.
