Press Release
Al-Aqsa Flood Events Continue to Reveal Truths and Expose Betrayals
(Translated)

On the morning of Wednesday, November 27, 2024, a ceasefire agreement brokered by America and France between Lebanon and the Jewish entity came into effect. The agreement stipulated that the Jewish entity would refrain from conducting any offensive military actions against targets in Lebanon, whether on land, in the air, or at sea, and its army would gradually withdraw from south of the Blue Line over a period of 60 days. In exchange, Hezbollah, often referred to as Iran's proxy in Lebanon, would refrain from launching any attacks against the Jewish entity, withdraw from southern Lebanon to areas north of the Litani River, dismantle the remaining components of its military infrastructure in the south, and allow Lebanese army and security forces to be the only armed entities permitted to operate in southern Lebanon.

Reflecting on recent events reveals truths that have been uncovered and entities that have been exposed. Among the truths is the undeniable fact that the Jewish entity is fragile and incapable of sustained confrontation, and its people are not warriors. In contrast, the Muslim ummah is characterized by an unyielding resolve and unparalleled resilience. Imagine their strength if they had a leader to unite them, to shield them, and to lead them in battle. As the Prophet Muhammad (swt) said: «وإنَّما الإمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِن ورَائِهِ ويُتَّقَى به»”commander (of the Muslims) is a shield for them. They fight behind him and they are protected by (him from tyrants and aggressors).”

The Muslim Ummah is a community of steadfast warriors who cherish jihad and willingly embrace martyrdom in the path of Allah. They fight with their eyes fixed on a paradise as vast as the heavens and the earth. They endure with unwavering patience, confident in Allah’s promise of an immeasurable reward:

[إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّابِرُونَ أَجْرَهُم بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ]

“Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account.” [Surat Az-Zumar:10].

How, then, can a people like the Jews marked by cowardice and fear, who cling desperately to life and only fight from behind walls, hope to endure the struggle or possess the determination to continue?

Among these truths is the undeniable reality that the armies of the Muslim Ummah are the cornerstone of hope and the foundation of aspirations. They hold the power to shift the balance and alter realities. There is no way to uproot the occupation entirely and eliminate its evils except through the mobilization of these armies to fulfill their divine duty of supporting the oppressed and liberating all occupied Muslim lands. Events have made it clear that groups and individuals, no matter how strong or resolute, cannot achieve the removal of the occupation. However, the armies of the Muslim Ummah are not only capable of this but much more. They possess the ability to uproot the occupation from the Blessed Land of Palestine and to pursue its colonial supporters into their very heartlands.

Furthermore, these events confirmed that the division of Muslims in the Sykes-Picot statelets had made them into scattered peoples and tribes, preventing them from acting as a unified entity of two billion people. Instead, they have been confined them to cages, enabling colonial powers to isolate and exploit them one by one, achieving their malicious and criminal goals and ambitions in our lands. It is imperative for the Ummah to resolve swiftly to end this state of division, to reunite as one nation under one leader, as Allah intended, thereby restoring its honor, dignity, and rightful place among nations.

As for the betrayals exposed by these events, they include the betrayal of Muslim rulers, who have abandoned the Ummah, stood idly by as it was slaughtered, and even aided the Jews in its aggression. Their greatest crime is withholding the armies from defending the oppressed.

These trials undoubtedly play a role in refining and preparing the Ummah for the days ahead. The events of Al-Aqsa Flood and their aftermath have infused the Ummah with profound truths and lessons, strengthening it with greater resilience and clarity about the path to reclaiming its honor and reestablishing its Khilafah (Caliphate).

Allah Almighty said:

[إِن يَمْسَسْكُمْ قَرْحٌ فَقَدْ مَسَّ الْقَوْمَ قَرْحٌ مِّثْلُهُ وَتِلْكَ الأيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ اللهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَيَتَّخِذَ مِنكُمْ شُهَدَاء وَاللهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ]

“If a wound should touch you - there has already touched the [opposing] people a wound similar to it. And these days [of varying conditions] We alternate among the people so that Allah may make evident those who believe and [may] take to Himself from among you martyrs - and Allah does not like the wrongdoers" [Surat Aal-i-Imran:140].
