Press Release
Events in Al Ghouta!
(Translated)

For weeks, the relentless bombing of Russian planes and that of the criminal regime of Bashar on the Eastern Ghouta did not stop. The whole world can see that the victims of this aggression are innocent civilians, most of whom are women and children. The West condemns the actions of the criminal and his allies and holds them all responsible for the suffering of the people of Syria. The events in the Eastern Ghouta can be compared with what happened previously in Aleppo.

In fact, the brutal bombardment of Ghouta is a play starring America and the United Nations, expressing their condemnation as they did for Aleppo, because they seek one goal: to eliminate the revolution and to force the people of Syria to sit at the negotiation table to discuss the future of secular Syria ... Russia, as was the case during the bombing of Aleppo, announced a humanitarian truce in order to avoid the deaths of civilians.

America is trying to link the brutal actions of Bashar's criminal regime to Russia and Iran, and this is for a reason, they know in Washington that the reputation of the brutal killers will not allow America to take strategic control of the Middle East. But the Muslims are not blind and can see very well who really stands behind Bashar and his partners. The traitor rulers of Muslim countries and the leaders of movements and groups affiliated with them and who follow the orders of America do not reflect the understanding and feelings of the Ummah.

Russia, too, can only tactically mislead its public opinion, and it needs permanent mobilization, accurately speaking, in the stream of lies directed to justify its actions in Russia. Today many Russian observers, some of whom are not supporting of the people of Syria, have noted that the Islamic Ummah will not forget America’s cunningness and Russia’s bruitality. Noting that this war has been lost by Russia

Russian blogger and analyst Anatoly Nissimian, highlighting recent events in Syria, wrote:

“The war led by Putin and his faction in Syria is a one-word; unjust war, and an imperialist war, and it can be supported by an incomprehensible person or someone who intends to stand by the leader of this criminal regime, in conclusion, what is happening has nothing to do with Russia's interests. Putin’s defeat in this war is the best way out for Russia's interest: the defeat in Syria is also a question, which is almost unquestionable, but the problem lies in the price that we will all have to pay.”

The political expert and former leader, and a scientific assistant at the Institute of System Analysis (Russian Academy of Sciences), André Piontkovsky in his meeting on Kasparov website on 17/12/2016 said:

“The Assad’s Alawites sect, which accounts for 10-15% of the population, has exterminated hundreds of thousands of the Sunnis, but they will not be able to conquer or annihilate the entire Sunni community, ie, three quarters of the population of the country, we have entered a real war that we will not be won by aircrafts, aircrafts carriers and submarines This is not a computer game This is a new Afghanistan and this means that the possibilities of development are two: either a surrender full of shame, which sooner or later will hit us, or escalation by sending a large ground forces.”

In his recent article on events in Syria on February 27, 2018, André Piontkovsky concludes: "The Syrian child from Aleppo - one of the thousands who have to experience the new Russian war machine, before dying he promised to complain to God - a child who threatens his tormenter by complaining to the Lord. In Dostoevsky's style where his creativity and expectations are important, and as a person who in his real life, adopted the agnostic idea, I was never hoping that there would be a god, so the child from Aleppo can complain to about everything; about his experience, about Putin, about Lavrov, about Schweigo, and about all of us. In this regard we can only show either sympathy or mercy to him.”

Thus, Russia’s strategic loss in this war has been recognized even by the atheists, let alone us the Muslims, as we analyze the current events from the perspective of Islam, and the Shariah texts convinces us that the sincere will and resolve of the Muslims in Syria with the establishment of the Khilafah on the method of Prophethood will inevitably result in the victory over the Assad criminal regime.

At-Tabarani narrated from Abu Umamah (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:«صَفْوَةُ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَرْضِهِ الشَّامُ، وَفِيهَا صَفْوَتُهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ وَعِبَادِهِ»“Allah’s chosen land is Ash-Sham, in it are the best of His creation and slaves”.

The victory which Allah has promised us, is conditional to adhering to His law, and those who sincerely want to please Allah (swt) must engage in the work to establish the Khilafah, on the ruins of the criminal regime of Bashar. When Allah decrees His victory for the believers, no one can prevent Allah’s punishment on the kuffar and their hypocrite followers.

The words of Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw) expose what is hidden by the Kuffar, and some texts show us near victory of justice and the defeat of those who oppose it.

Allah (swt) says:

﴿وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُم فِي الأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّن بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا يَعْبُدُونَنِي لا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ﴾

“Allah has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves after that - then those are the defiantly disobedient” [An-Nur: 55] 

The Prophet (saw) said:«ثُمَّ تَكُونُ مُلْكًا جَبْرِيَّةً فَتَكُونُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةٌ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ نُبُوَّةٍ، ثُمَّ سَكَتَ»“then there will be oppressive kingship for as long as Allah wills, then he will remove it when He wills, and then there will be Khilafah upon the Prophetic method” and then he remained silent.” [Ahmad]

On the authority of Abu Ad-Darda’ (ra) said, I heard the Messenger of Allah say: «إِنَّ فُسْطَاطَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَوْمَ الْمَلْحَمَةِ بِالْغُوطَةِ، إِلَى جَانِبِ مَدِينَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا: دِمَشْقُ، مِنْ خَيْرِ مَدَائِنِ الشَّامِ»“The city of the Muslims on the day of the Great War (al-Malhama) is in a fertile oasis (al-Ghouta) next to a city called Damascus, and it is from the best cities of Ash-Sham”

Thus, this Great War in Al-Ghouta, was mentioned to us by the Messenger of Allah (saw) in the seventh century AH. The question is who will receive the honour of being the supporters (Ansar) of the Ummah in this era, who will be the force that will help the people of Ash-Sham to establish the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood?
