وَسَكَنْتُمْ فِي مَسَاكِنِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ

“And you inhabited the dwellings of those who wronged themselves”

It is, with no doubt, the same old regime, even if it appeared in a new garment represented by the presidency of the previous defense minister, Marshal Abdul Fattah as-Sisi. They are the same slogans, even if they appeared harsher because of the dilemma that the current regime is suffering from. “War Against Terrorism” is the same slogan that Mubarak used to raise its banner for decades, where he used to repeat during his ruling his call to the world to hold an international conference for the war against “terrorism”. Egypt still falls under the American guardianship, as it was before under all the previous regimes.

The visit of John Kerry to Egypt today (22/6) is to stabilize this guardianship after a period of fake tension that deceives naive people, and the security coordination with the Jewish entity is still on, as if the security of Jewish entity is a strategic goal for the new – old regime. Yet, even worst is the unprecedented state of oppression, which has exceeded what the Egyptians used to suffer from decades ago; arrests never cease, and death sentences are numerous with neither deliberateness nor evidence. Nobody has ever preceded them in these harsh sentences; on Saturday 21/6, al-Minyah Court confirmed the death sentences issued against 183 people, who were supporters of the ousted President Mohammad Morsi, among which is the general guide of the Muslim Brotherhood Group, Mohammad Badee’. There is a failed war where the regime is attacking a sticker (Did you Confer Blessing Upon the Prophet); it has scared them and led them to close the mosques and corners, prevent people who are not from al-Azhar to speak on platforms, strongly scold numerous Islamic rulings on satellite channels, which the regime has moved them to attack the history and the civilization of the Ummah, and lots of other things that the new regime has exceeded all tyrants that preceded it.

The current regime might assume, as its predecessor has thought, that this Ummah has died, and it is a doubt that has nothing to do with reality. The truth, that has no doubt, is that this Ummah will not die; it may get sick but will never die, and those eras, where the Ummah were silent towards oppression and oppressors, have passed away, as the chain of fear within the Ummah is broken, and it will be able to defeat all tyrants as it has defeated Bin Ali, Mubarak, Gaddafi, and others. Those are the ones who lived among their dwellings, and they did not learn from those who preceded them but repeat what they did in their lives again in an unprecedented pride and smugness. Allah سبحانه وتعالى said:

وَسَكَنْتُمْ فِي مَسَاكِنِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ كَيْفَ فَعَلْنَا بِهِمْ وَضَرَبْنَا لَكُمُ الْأَمْثَالَ

“Even though you inhabited the houses of those who had wronged themselves and it was made clear to you how We had dealt with them and We gave you many examples?'”

(Ibrahim, 14:45)

That is you have seen and informed about what we have done with the nations before you, but you did not learn from that, and they did not stop their oppression. O Allah how weak and narrow the brains of tyrants are, despite what they think or what the dregs of hypocrites around them make them think that they are honorable and victorious. How can they be in honor and they don’t govern by Allah’s laws in Khilafah state, as honor and victory are only in this state if they understand.

The Ummah won’t accept other than Islam and won’t accept other than Khilafah as a regime, and the movement of the Ummah won’t stop until it leads to a new dawn under a constitution that is extracted from the book of her Lord and the Sunnah of its Prophet, and not until it gives bay’ah to a pious sincere Khaleefah whom it fights behind and is protected by, and that is not difficult for Allah سبحانه وتعالى.

حَتَّى إِذَا فَرِحُواْ بِمَا أُوتُواْ أَخَذْنَاهُم بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْلِسُونَ فَقُطِعَ دَابِرُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

“when they were rejoicing in what they had been given, We suddenly seized them and at once they were in despair. So the last remnant of the people who did wrong was cut off. Praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds!”

(Al-An’am, 6:44-45)
