Jordan has allocated 1.5 million dinars (around $2.1 million) in the 2018 national budget for a gas pipeline linking the Hashemite Kingdom with “Israel”. According to Al-Ghad Newspaper on Sunday, the cost of the joint Jordanian-“Israeli” project is expected to rise to 3 million dinars ($4.2 million) in 2019, and to 6 million dinars ($8.5 million) by 2020. The pipeline will pass over the Sheikh Hussein border crossing, 90 km from Amman. (Source: MEMO 02/01/2018)
Comment:
As the treachery of the Muslim nations continues without any signs of abating, Jordan too continues its sordid relationship with the Zionist entity by agreeing in September 2016 to sustain its economic stranglehold over the region by way of building a 90 km gas pipeline passing over the Sheikh Hussein border by 2020.
Jordan’s National Electric Power Company (NEPCO) signed an agreement with Nobel Energy, a Jewish off shore gas company which controls 40% of the natural gas in the Leviathan natural gas field.
Supposedly this move will allow Jordan to utilise the gas fields discovered in the eastern Mediterranean territorial waters of Palestine, Cyprus and Egypt; and for this benefit Jordan has accepted the role of regional traitor as it furthers business dealings with the Zionist entity.
The Jordanian government and all those who support secular rule must realise that one day and very soon the Hukm of Allah (swt) will be applied upon this region.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, «الْمُسْلِمُونَ شُرَكَاءُ فِي ثَلاَثٍ فِي الْمَاءِ وَالْكَلإِ وَالنَّارِ» “The Muslims are partners in three, water, pastures and fire”. (Narrated by Ahmed and Ibn Majah)
This hadith explains that natural resources, including fire based fuels, river water, rain water and open pastures are properties for all Muslims. Consequently, such properties are not for sale by governments or privately owned companies who then charge citizens for basic provisions. Islam is a deen of justice; it enables a way of life whereby people are not disadvantaged by having to pay for access to vital services.
As far as allying with the enemies of Allah, this is an act of open Kufr. To continue to recognise the Zionist entity is an unforgivable crime for which there will be consequences for the Jordanian leadership in this life and in the hereafter. Whilst the people of Palestine cry out for liberation and those in Gaza live without electricity, their Muslim neighbour busies itself with trade deals with their oppressor. In light of this continued cooperation, Jordan’s meagre condemnations of the Zionists’ aggression are once again revealed as insincere.
My Allah (swt) enlighten the world with the justice and glory of Islam again soon.
