The Muslims of Gaza continue to be bombed into oblivion by the barbaric Jewish entity. They face a genocide and human catastrophe of unprecedented proportions. Indiscriminate bombardment of residential buildings, hospitals, schools, mosques, market places and other civilian locations has sown widespread carnage, death and destruction. The massacre of Al Ahli Hospital led to the death of hundreds – many were women and children.

According to the Jewish entity forces, 6000 bombs weighing 4000 tones were dropped on Gaza in just 6 days. Hundreds of innocent women and children have been slaughtered. Alongside this, the Muslims of Gaza are suffering a brutal siege, in which the population face dying from starvation, dehydration and disease due to the murderous Jewish entity weaponizing food, water, medicines and fuel.

As the women of this noble Muslim Ummah, we raise a call to our sincere brothers in the Muslim armies! The land of Al-Aqsa is bleeding, your brothers, sisters and children of the Blessed Land of Palestine are bleeding – when will you move to defend and liberate them?!!! How much more of this slaughter and terrorization of your Ummah can you bear to witness, when you know that you have the material power to put an end to their living nightmare? Do the images of the charred bodies of babies pulled from rubble and mothers cradling their bloodied lifeless children in their arms – murdered by this terrorist occupation – not tear your heart apart? Do the scenes of criminal Jewish forces defiling Al Aqsa, and Jewish settlers dancing on the graves of Muslims, including of Sahaba in Bab al-Rahma Cemetery not boil your blood? Does the sight of your Muslim sisters being beaten, pushed to the ground and kicked by Jewish soldiers, and Palestinian children abused by Jewish forces, and gunned down in the streets – not inflame the desire within you to come to their aid? How much more of this brutality and crimes of this murderous occupation are you willing to bear before you act to liberate this blessed land?

Do you expect the defenseless men and women of Palestine to stand against an army, facing the bullets and bombs alone, and fulfil the Islamic duty that Allah has placed upon your necks of defending and liberating your Ummah from their oppressors, when it is you who have the tanks, planes, and munition to eradicate this cancerous occupation for good? Does Allah (swt) not say:

[وَإِنِ اسْتَنصَرُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ النَّصْرُ]

“And if they seek help of you for the religion, then you must help.” [Al-Anfaal 8:72]? What will you say when He (swt) asks you – Why you stood still while your Ummah bled, while your sisters were dishonoured and the land of Al Aqsa was defiled?

O Sincere Sons of the Muslim armies! Your Palestinian brothers and sisters have been abandoned by all the governments of the world, including the traitorous regimes of the Muslim lands under which you serve, who have normalized relations with this criminal entity, and protected and supported it, having forsaken your Palestinian brothers and sisters, your Ummah and your Deen? We call you to stand up against these illegitimate regimes that have brought nothing but despair and humiliation to this Ummah, and have kept you from fulfilling your true potential and purpose as defenders of the Muslims and the Deen of Islam.

O Sincere Sons of the Muslim armies! You are the inheritors of the great Muslim commanders of the past – Khalid bin Walid (ra), Salahuddin Ayyubi, Muhammad ibn Qasim and Muhammad al-Fatih (rh). Do you not wish to follow their legacy of achieving glorious victories for this Ummah and its Deen once again and returning them to a position of prestige? Do you not want to gain the immense honour in this world, and glorious rewards in the Hereafter for being the ones who liberated Al-Aqsa and raised the flag of La-ilaha-illallah once again over Al-Quds, making it the capital of the second Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate)? You hold the hopes of this Ummah in your hands, so become its heroes by uprooting the rule of these cowardly treacherous regimes and giving your Nussrah for the establishment of the System of Allah (swt), the Khilafah based upon the method of the Prophethood which alone will mobilize you without delay to liberate Palestine and all oppressed Muslims across the world. The time to act is now!
