For the sixth consecutive day and the usurper Jewish entity to Palestine hails the people of Gaza with all kinds of devastating weapons, until its crimes inflicted humans, trees and stones… Destroying houses over the heads of its people; whoever survives under the rubble is haunted by missiles on foot or riding… Mosques and even facilities for the disabled were not saved from those crimes. With the escalation of such crimes, the ring countries are only counting the dead and wounded, and the best of them opens the border crossings for the wounded; as if he were stating, if you wanted to come out of the Gaza siege then let you be injured with dangerous wounds and not any wound … welcome aboard to the wounded and bleeding! Furthermore, these rulers occasionally donate; and with no doubt they are aware that the one who is exposed to murder wants someone protecting him from being killed before giving him a meal! Moreover, these rulers are mediating appeasement, as they are neutral! So they implore this and that, rather kneeling to this and that. They mediate appeasement after the Jewish state had irrigated from the blood of the people of Gaza. And then a truce occurs, which the Jewish state considers it a war break, and then denounces it and returns to another round and so forth! With all this and that, the rulers of the ring and beyond the ring insist on neutrality to satisfy the West and the Jewish entity without being ashamed before Allah, His Messenger and the believers!
It is not surprising nor strange that the rulers in those countries act in this cowardice and desertion, as this is their habit since this Ummah was plagued by them. But what is surprising and strange are the soldiers who are accompanied with arms and are living with them in order to support their Deen and their Ummah; how could they endure seeing and hearing the brutal bombing of their brothers and sisters, surrounded by blood, crying out for help, and then not getting a response from anyone?! Nevertheless, if the rulers have rejected and the soldiers failed, then where are their parents, their brothers and their children?! So, why don’t you urge them to fight for the sake of Allah, to support Allah’s servants and liberate the land, and you will be the jihad for your sons in the grace of Allah and His bounty, for jihad is the pinnacle of Islam … So arouse in them strength and piety, and that they should support the Muslims who are subjected to the crimes of the Jewish entity
وَإِنِ اسْتَنْصَرُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ النَّصْرُ
“And if they seek help of you for the religion, then you must help”
(Al-Anfal:72)
And that they should not remain silent of the abuse or injustice. They should repudiate the ruler of his oppression and his betrayal to Allah, His Prophet and the believers and that they should not obey in sin and by this you safeguard them from disgrace in this world and torment of the Hereafter.
O armies in Muslims countries, in particular the pitiful surrounding countries:
Is there not among you a man of reason to create good to lead his brothers from the soldiers, to bring victory to Gaza, so that it is inscribed in luminous accounts honoring him in this world and the Hereafter? Is there no one from amongst you who will restore the legacies of the great leaders of the soldiers of Islam who sprinted like lions in response to a woman’s plea proclaiming: O Allah’s horses board…
It is tangible and visible that the rulers are making a significant effort to prevent you from fighting your enemy, and they want you to kill your people instead of protecting them … but who is guarding the rulers, is it not you? Their matter is in your hands. So if you stand in their faces, motivated to fight and support your people you would win, and if you disobey them you would succeed, as it is
«لَا طَاعَةَ لِمَخْلُوقٍ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللهِ»
“No obedience for a creation in the disobedience of Allah the Almighty.” (Reported by Ahmad and Tabarani).
So, is there not a man of reason to give victory to Allah and His Messenger? Is there not among you Musab bin Omair, Asaad bin Zuraarah, Usaid bin Hudayr and Saad bin Muadh, who supported Allah and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and succeeded in this world and the Hereafter, so that the throne of Ar-Rahman shook at the death of Saad bin Muadh for granting victory to Allah’s Deen. Al-Bukhaari narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), I heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم say,
«اهْتَزَّ العَرْشُ لِمَوْتِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ»
“The throne of Allah shook at the death of Saad ibn Mu’adh”?
Is there not among you a man of reason to restore the legacy of the men of men and establish the Khilafah and appoint a Khaleefah who will not prevent you from fighting the enemy, but leads you, as the Imam is the one whom people fight behind. Muslim narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
«إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ، يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ، وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ»,
“Indeed, the Imam is a shield, you are protected by him and fight from behind him”.
And then, under his leadership, the elimination of the Jewish entity and the return of the whole of the blessed land to the lands of Islam are achieved… And the Khaleefah will restore the legacy of Omar al-Faruq; who opened Jerusalem and the Blessed Land around it, the legacy of Salahuddin; who liberated it from the Crusaders, and the legacy of Abdul Hamid; who protected it and it was more valuable to him than his soul and what his right hand possessed…
We realize that the angels will not descend from heaven to establish the Khilafah for us and lead the army for us to eliminate the Jewish entity and free Palestine. But Allah descends angels to help us if we work with earnestness, honesty and sincerity to resume the Islamic way of life in the land and establish the Khilafah. So the armies will mobilize to fight the Jewish entity, and to support the Deen of Allah the Almighty, and then Allah the Powerful, the Exalted in Might will descend angels to help us and not to fight on our behalf; and the Quran speaks of this in the verses of the precise and wise message:
بَلَى إِنْ تَصْبِرُوا وَتَتَّقُوا وَيَأْتُوكُمْ مِنْ فَوْرِهِمْ هَذَا يُمْدِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِخَمْسَةِ آلَافٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مُسَوِّمِينَ
“Yes, if you remain patient and conscious of Allah and the enemy come upon you [attacking] in rage, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels having marks [of distinction]”
(Al-i-Imran: 125)
If we are patient and pious and encounter the enemy in fighting then Allah will reinforce us with thousands of angels … This is the way to support Gaza, and the way to support Muslims everywhere, and truly
لِمِثْلِ هَذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ الْعَامِلُونَ
“For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work.”
(As-Saffat: 61)
O Muslims, O armies in Muslims countries, and in particular the pitiful surrounding countries:
The crimes of the Jewish entity are continuing in Gaza, and the rulers remain in absolute silence for supporting the people of Gaza, even shouting the usual condemnation and denunciation almost did not emerge from their throats, and if they do out of embarrassment… Although the champions of the people in Gaza to manufacture weapons locally has stunned the enemy, bloodied and terrified it … but the problem cannot be solved except with the removal of the Jewish entity. And conquering the enemy and removing its entity requires armies to move and blow the entity a great blow? The Kaffir colonists, the supporters of the Jewish entity, and the agents have succeeded to dwarf the issue of Palestine from being an Islamic issue to an Arab issue and then to a Palestinian national issue, even into half an issue! It has become clear for all to see that Palestine cannot be wholly liberated, except if the issue returns to being Islamic once again. So it becomes the issue of every Muslim; civilian or militant, from the far east in Indonesia to the far west in Rabat. So as Muslims realize that Palestine is not a friend country, and not even a brother country, rather it is the soul, the land, the honor and an obligation (Fardh)… As Muslims are one body
«إِذَا اشْتَكَى مِنْهُ عُضْوٌ تَدَاعَى لَهُ سَائِرُ الْجَسَدِ بِالسَّهَرِ وَالْحُمَّى»
“If any part of the body is ill then the whole body shares the sleeplessness (insomnia) and fever with it” (Extracted by Muslim on the authority of al-Nu’man bin Bashir).
O armies in Muslim countries and in particular the pitiful surrounding countries:
Hizb ut Tahrir is calling you and awakening your resolve, the Blessed Land is a jewel of the Muslims lands, the first of the two Qiblahs, and the station of Israa’ of their Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and his Miraj (Ascension). So go forth to fight the enemy and to support your people as the Almighty said:
انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا وَجَاهِدُوا بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنْفُسِكُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
“Go forth, whether light or heavy, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah. That is better for you, if you only knew”
(At-Tawba: 41)
And do not be like as the Almighty said:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ انْفِرُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أَرَضِيتُمْ بِالْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ
“O you who have believed, what is [the matter] with you that, when you are told to go forth in the cause of Allah, you adhere heavily to the earth? Are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But what is the enjoyment of worldly life compared to the Hereafter except a [very] little”
(At-Tawba: 38)
Otherwise:
يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُونُوا أَمْثَالَكُمْ
“He will replace you with another people; then they will not be the likes of you.”
(Muhammad: 38)
