In addition to the insolence with which America’s special envoy to Syria and Iraq, and its ambassador to Türkiye, Tom Barrack, spoke about the chosen and righteous Prophets of Allah, when he said on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, during his participation in the activities of the Global Security Forum in Doha, the capital of Qatar: “If we look at how many prophets were sent by God to this region... We have 55 Christian prophets, over 100 Islamic prophets, we have another 50 Jewish prophets, and none of them have been able to solve this situation. So, to think that we're going to be able to solve it in just a few years is probably not likely.”

His words contain deliberate misinformation and an obscuring of facts that are unmistakable.

The Middle East region and the lands of the Muslims lived through long centuries, more than five times the age of his nation, during which they were a beacon for the entire world and the place toward which all of humanity’s hearts turned. They were the cradle of civilization, advancement, justice, and truth. Every oppressed person sought refuge in them, and every weak person found protection in them. Through their valiant armies and their great principle, they spread goodness and mercy throughout the world. The kings of the West used to plead to send their princely sons to the State of the Khilafah (Caliphate), so that they could learn knowledge, manners, morals, and refined taste there.

Then came the beginning of the twentieth century, and the entire kafir (disbelieving) West conspired against us to bring down our state and exclude Islam from governance and the international arena, so that capitalism and Western colonialism could take its place. That colonialism had been European, and American colonialism was added to it. They appointed rulers over us from our own skin, but they are their agents; they obey their orders and serve their colonial interests in our lands. So they impoverished our lands and made us suffer the worst torment, all for the sake of pleasing their masters!

For America, in whose name the deranged Barrack speaks, is the world’s foremost colonial power, and our rulers owe their loyalty and obedience. Its armies are stationed in our lands to ensure the continued fragmentation, colonization, and subjugation of our lands to them. It has not hesitated to entrench the Jewish entity in the Blessed Land. It occupied Iraq and Afghanistan for more than twenty years, consolidating its colonization of our lands and preventing us from restoring our Khilafah. Then Barrack comes to speak about the region’s problems that need a solution, as though we had problems at all before we saw his face, and the faces of his leaders and other colonialists like him!

Allah sent our master Muhammad (saw) as a Messenger of guidance and light. The Almighty said:

[نَزَّلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقاً لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَأَنزَلَ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالإِنجِيلَ]

“He has sent down to you the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.” [TMQ Surah Aal-i Imran:3]. Thus, humanity was set right, as Islam reached it with its upright message. Humanity only deviated and fell into decline after Islam was fought against and excluded from governance, and colonialism came with its malice and its rotten civilization to scorch the Muslims with it and make them taste the misery of life and the bitterness of humiliation and injustice.

Nothing will save the region, and the entire world, from the evils of capitalism and the corruption of capitalist rulers and their corrupting influence, except the return of the Second Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly Guided Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood, which will restore matters to their proper place and bring goodness back to the region and humanity, and cut off the roots of America and all colonialists. The Exalted said:

[إِنَّ الأَرْضَ لِلّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ]

“Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah; He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants, and the outcome is for the righteous.” [TMQ Surah Al-A‘raf:128].
