As we seek the blessings of the holy month of Ramadan and experience its divine mercy, we recall a glorious past and an era of pride that the Islamic Ummah lived under the shade of the Islamic State during Ramadan. This month was a time of great Islamic conquests, where people entered Islam in large numbers. It witnessed the Battle of Badr, the first decisive battle between truth and falsehood, the Conquest of Mecca when the Prophet (saw) destroyed the idols of Jahilliya, the opening of Al-Andalus and Amorium, the Battle of Ain Jalut, the victories of Salahuddin Al-Ayyubi in Hattin, and many other battles and conquests that marked great triumphs during this blessed month. This made Ramadan synonymous with jihad, openings and victories, all under the rule of Islam and the Islamic State.
But today, Ramadan comes while the Islamic Ummah is not ruled by Islam! The Ummah, once united, is now fragmented into statelets created by the colonialist West! The Ummah of openings and jihad now has its lands occupied, its sanctities desecrated, and its honor violated, while its armies remain shackled and unmoved! The Ummah, once led by great leaders and noble figures, is now led by those who obey the West and bow their heads in humiliation!
Despite the overwhelming feelings that swept across Muslim countries in condemnation of the entity's crimes and in sympathy with the people of Gaza, despite the horrifying scenes of mutilated bodies and scattered corpses broadcasted on satellite channels, scenes that would shake mountains, this has not moved even a single hair on the bodies of the Muslim rulers. When they acted, they did so only to ensure the protection of the Jewish entity and to safeguard their thrones and the interests of their Western masters. They have turned Muslim lands into corridors and bases for protecting the Jewish entity and ensuring its security and survival.
It has become clear to anyone with eyes that the lifeline extended from America to the Jewish entity is reinforced by many ropes from the capitals of Muslim countries, without them, neither the Jewish entity nor America and the other colonial powers would have a presence in the lands of Islam!
Here is Trump, speaking about the displacement of the people of Gaza as if it were his personal property, treating it as a mere investment project for himself! He addresses Muslim rulers with arrogance and contempt, saying: "Egypt and Jordan said they will not receive residents from Gaza, and I said they will." He knows that the words of these rulers hold no weight, and he knows that if he were serious about his demands, they would rush to comply and compete for his approval. Their statements are nothing more than weak and hesitant remarks within the narrow limits allowed to them, just enough to maintain a facade.
O Muslims… O our People in Jordan:
The position of your rulers regarding the displacement of the people of Gaza is nothing but a staged deception, a malicious trick hiding yet another conspiracy and betrayal added to their long record of treachery. These rulers are not the kind of men who dare to say "no" to their Western masters. This false stance they take is merely a way to lure you into supporting them, so you applaud and follow them in the role assigned to them regarding Gaza. What the Jewish entity and its Western backers failed to accomplish in Gaza, your rulers will complete before your very eyes!
These regimes have never cared about Palestine or any other Muslim land. They are the ones who betrayed Palestine and turned Muslim lands into spoils for colonial powers. Strangely, they are now exploiting Trump’s statements about displacement to incite division among Muslims by stirring up vile nationalism and tribalism, reinforcing the divisions imposed by the Sykes-Picot borders. It is as if they want to erase the unity and solidarity among Muslims that emerged during the Gaza war, as this collective awakening unsettled these rulers and filled them with fear. Do not fall for the deception of these insignificant rulers, lest you anger your Lord and render your deeds void, for you have seen their reality and their betrayals have been exposed.
O Muslims… O our People in Jordan:
The issue of Palestine is not just the concern of the people of Palestine or the Arabs alone, it is an Islamic issue at its core. It is the issue of an Islamic land and Islamic sanctities that were usurped by the Jews with the support of major colonial powers and the complicity of Muslim rulers. Palestine is an Islamic land that Muslims liberated with their blood, every inch of it bears the dust of a Mujahid’s horse and the blood of a martyr. It belongs to all Muslims, and it is their duty to sacrifice their lives and souls to reclaim it. Any concession of even a single inch of it is a betrayal of Allah, His Messenger, and the believers.
The only serious effort, the true solution, and the real support for the Palestinian cause is to mobilize the armies to liberate it. Any so-called solution that diverts Muslims from this path is a distortion of reality and a betrayal of the occupied lands of Islam:
[وَإِنِ اسْتَنصَرُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ النَّصْرُ]
“And if they seek help of you for the religion, then you must help,” [Surat Al-Anfal:72].
The colonial powers of today are no different from their predecessors. They could not withstand even a single battle before, they were defeated and vanished. Hattin marked the beginning of the Crusaders' downfall, and Ain Jalut was the beginning of the Mongols' collapse. Likewise, today, a single decisive battle will destroy their power and existence, all of this is in your hands, O Muslims:
[وَأَنْتُمُ الأَعْلَوْنَ وَاللهُ مَعَكُمْ وَلَنْ يَتِرَكُمْ أَعْمَالَكُمْ]
“while you are superior; and Allah is with you and will never deprive you of [the reward of] your deeds.” [Surat Muhammad:35].
What changed the condition of Muslims from strength to weakness and transformed Ramadan from a month of victories to a month of humiliation was the loss of Islamic rule and the fall of the Islamic State. Bring back the status of Ramadan! Make it again a month of victories, openings, honor, unity, and strength by striving to resume Islamic life, establish the Islamic Khilafah (Caliphate), and appoint an Imam to lead the Muslims, defend them, and rally the Ummah around him to fight the Jews and all colonial powers, as the Prophet (saw) said: «إِنَّمَا الإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ، يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ، وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ»“A commander (of the Muslims) is a shield for them. They fight behind him and they are protected by (him from tyrants and aggressors).”
So rejoice in honor and victory in this world and the Hereafter:
[إِنَّا لَنَنْصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ يَقُومُ الأَشْهَادُ]
“Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe during the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand” [Surat Ghafir:51].
