Violating the Sanctity of Al-Aqsa Obliges the Ummah to Annihilate the High Status of an Entity Whose Corruption Has Prolonged
(Translated)

In violation of all sanctities, the soldiers of the Jewish entity stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque after the dawn prayer this Friday, the fourteenth of Ramadan. In violation of the sanctity of the time in the blessed month and the sanctity of the place in Al-Quds of Islam and Muslims, the cowards abused and assaulted the worshipers performing their ruku’, sujood, I’tikaf, tahajud prayer, and those stationed guarding Al-Aqsa (Al-Murabitoun). Dozens were injured, hundreds were arrested, they broke the mosque’s windows, they also broke the limbs of the worshipers, assaulted women, and trampled in the Qibli Mosque with their boots. All of this took place after the herds of settlers announced that they would enter Al-Aqsa Mosque to perform their rituals and slaughter their sacrifices.

What has happened today is a habitual violation of the Jewish entity towards Al-Aqsa Mosque since its occupation. Their attacks have never stopped, but the doses of their crimes have increased and their corruption has prolonged, not only in Al-Aqsa but throughout the Blessed Land. They shed the pure blood daily. They became audacious against Al-Aqsa and its people due to failure of the regimes of shame and the normalization of the conspirators, to the extent that they are now seeking to divide the mosque in order to allow the filthy foot in it, and make its seizure a reality. How can they not dare when the so-called “guardianship” regime has betrayed Al-Aqsa and has subjugated to them, and the authority that is under their command and obey their orders.

The boots of the soldiers of the entity that trampled the carpets of the prayer hall have trampled before over the dignity of the regimes of shame and the rulers of the Muslims, assuming their existence. The condemnations of those regimes, if issued, are condemnations at the Jewish entity because its practices expose their cowardice and betrayal and provoke their people therefore threatening their thrones. Thus, their concern was to put out the fire for fear that it ignites on them before it is ignited at the Jewish entity. The humiliated authority that has always sought to cool the heat of the people of Palestine and keep their hands off the Jewish entity, is now crying for help from America, and warns of a devastating “religious war” in fear of being swept away with the Jewish entity.

The address, O Muslims, is not directed at the Jewish entity. This is their way. They increase their corruption and aggression with the increase in the level of humiliation, loyalty and normalization of the puppet regimes, so they have nothing to say, and the basic principle is that what they see is not what they hear. The address also, even if it addresses the rulers, it is not directed at them, they have lost their sense and became accomplices in crime! Rather, the speech is for you Muslims, for the event is great and the matter is grave, and violating the sanctity of the blessed Al-Aqsa in the blessed month and striking the free women is sufficient and more, to declare war and open all fronts. The prosperous history of the Ummah included much less than this, but enough to break the treaties and mobilize armies.

Was the conquest of Makkah nothing but a response to the one who called the Messenger of Allah (saw), saying: They made us stay up in Al-Wateer, and they killed us in bowing and prostration? Wasn’t the conquest of Amoriyah only in response to the cry of one woman who shouted O Mu’tasim? And now you see your sisters being beaten in the morning hours of Fajr and in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque!

And the speech is addressed to you, O, the armies and officers, if you are not ready for a day like this, for which day are you ready then?! Are you trained for cultivating land in Jordan or raising fish in Egypt?! If the desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque does not mobilize you, then what will?! Have you not read the words of your Lord (swt):

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ انفِرُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أَرَضِيتُم بِالْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ]

“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? But what is the enjoyment of worldly life compared to the Hereafter except a [very] little” [At-Tawba: 38].

O officers, soldiers and armies, your rulers have put on you a garment of humiliation that they have cloaked in, so take it off your shoulders. Your rulers have insisted on making Ramadan the month of betrayal, so make it a month of pride and victory. What the Jewish entity does is only the hasten of Allah’s promise to them and the destruction of their loftiness after their oppression, they will destroy their entity with their own hands and the hands of the believers, and the servile puppet regimes that are loyal to the Jewish entity only link their fate with its fate.

[فَتَرَى الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ يُسَارِعُونَ فِيهِمْ يَقُولُونَ نَخْشَى أَن تُصِيبَنَا دَائِرَةٌ فَعَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَأْتِيَ بِالْفَتْحِ أَوْ أَمْرٍ مِّنْ عِندِهِ فَيُصْبِحُوا عَلَى مَا أَسَرُّوا فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ نَادِمِينَ]

“So you see those in whose hearts is disease hastening into [association with] them, saying, "We are afraid a misfortune may strike us." But perhaps Allah will bring conquest or a decision from Him, and they will become, over what they have been concealing within themselves, regretful.” [Al-Ma’ida: 52]

The issue is that it is time to be angered for Allah’s sake, rather, its time is long overdue, so get angry for Allah’s sake, an anger that breaks chains and overthrows thrones, thus ending the decades of humiliation and indifference. Allah’s victory is coming, it is inevitable, Allah does not break His promise. So it is better for you to be His men.

[وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ]

“And Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might” [Al-Hajj: 40]
