The Islamic Ummah in Yemen as well as in other Muslim countries are desperate and hope for an improvement of the security situation in their countries. They expect their rulers to protect them and free their lands from the terrible war. But the rulers in the Muslim countries have made a pact with the devil, they have united with the enemies of the Ummah, and are dragging the Ummah more and more into spoil and ruin rather than helping them. They forget the words of Allah (swt):

وَمَا لَكُمْ لَا تُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَاجْعَلْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ وَلِيًّا وَاجْعَلْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ نَصِيرًا

“And what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah and [for] the oppressed among men, women, and children who say, “Our Lord, take us out of this city of oppressive people and appoint for us from Yourself a protector and appoint for us from Yourself a helper?”

(An-Nisa 75)

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَىٰ أَوْلِيَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ مِنْكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ

“O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you – then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.”

(Al-Ma’ida 51)

The war in Yemen, which is directed and supported by the colonial powers, is one of the most shattering events in today’s sad reality of the Ummah. The hypocritical conspirators use the Muslim rulers and through them push the Ummah into disaster. Yemen’s Hadi and Saleh and their supporters are working “on click” with the deceiver Britain and represent the interests of their master without caring about the Islamic Ummah, their blood or even about the innocent children. Saudi Arabia, in agreement with the USA, started since 2 years ago the bombing of Yemen, while Egypt sends its war ships to support this crime against its Muslim brothers. The government of Sudan also gave its agreement to help in this war and Iran is used by America to deliver weapons to the Houthi Rebels.

All this is despite the fact that Allah (swt) says,

إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ إِخۡوَةٌ۬ فَأَصۡلِحُواْ بَيۡنَ أَخَوَيۡكُمۡ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ

“The believers are nothing else than brothers. So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allah, that you may receive mercy.”

(Al-Hujjurat, 49:10)

So when a thief and a criminal enter the house, the family should hold together and cast the stranger out, but the Muslim rulers do the opposite. They settle with the thief, rob their own family and help the murderer destroy his home and kill his family. Brotherhood in Islam is not about “Blood” or “Tribal” Relationship. This was clearly demonstrated by Mus’ab Ibn Umayr when he found his blood brother Abu ‘Azeez – who was among those captured during the battle of Badr. Upon reaching Madinah, Abu ‘Azeez was lodged with Abu Yusr Alansari, and Mus’ab ibn ‘Umayr said to Abu Yusr: “Treat him harshly, for his mother is a wealthy woman.” Abu ‘Azeez said: “Brother is it for you to give this counsel?” “You are not my brother,” replied Mu’sab, “my brother is the one who is tying up your hands.” [Ibn Hisham] So all the Muslims everywhere in this world are siblings in Deen, independent of their borders, and they should love and protect each other for Allah’s sake. The Prophet ﷺ said:

«لَا تَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُؤْمِنُوا، وَلَا تُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّوا، أَوَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ تَحَابَبْتُمْ؟ أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ بَيْنَكُمْ» 

“You will not enter paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. Shall I not guide you to something which if you carry out you will love one another? Spread salaam amongst yourselves.” [Muslim]

But the rulers of the Muslim countries have forsaken the concept of Muslim brotherhood for they help the colonialists in their conquest and exploitation of the Muslim lands, and assist them in the shedding of the blood of their Ummah.

It is astonishing that the armies of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Sudan, Iran etc. are not used for the liberation of the Muslims, as for example in Palestine or the protection of Muslim children being persecuted in other countries. But if the colonial powers make their cruel plan to establish their foothold of influence in Yemen, then the Muslim rulers are ready to support the enemies of Islam with their strength and military power. The children of the Ummah scream and cry over their fate but the exploiters and their allied rulers of the Muslims bomb, destroy and kill them, despite the fact that Allah (swt) says:

وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا

“But whoever kills a believer intentionally – his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allah has become angry with him and has cursed him and has prepared for him a great punishment.”

(An-Nisaa 93)

وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا ۚ وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنْتُمْ أَعْدَاءً فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُمْ بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَانًا وَكُنْتُمْ عَلَىٰ شَفَا حُفْرَةٍ مِنَ النَّارِ فَأَنْقَذَكُمْ مِنْهَا ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ آيَاتِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ

“And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah and be not divided among yourselves, and remember Allah’s Favour on you, for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together, so that, by His Grace, you became brethren, and you were on the brink of a pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus Allah makes His Ayat clear to you, that you may be guided.”

(Al-e-Imran, 3:103)

O you innocent Muslim children from Yemen and everywhere in the Muslim lands! You and your family are too valuable to even contemplate placing hope in these traitorous rulers to save you from your plight! Trust only in Allah (swt) for Allah (swt) has promised victory to the Ummah over the wrongdoers. You will get your recompense from Allah for your suffering and the enemies of Islam will be rewarded with a painful punishment for all their deeds. This day will come and there is no doubt about this Insha Allah!

It is an indispensable duty for all Muslims to work for the rescue of the Ummah from this bad situation. Everyone who does not see himself as a part of this Ummah, everyone who practices an evil action against the Ummah and everyone who is silent to the crimes against their Muslim brothers and sisters and does nothing to bring them to an end will pay the punishment in Hellfire. Therefore, it is the obligatory duty of every man and woman to work for the reestablishment of the Caliphate upon the Method of the Prophethood which will protect this Ummah and its children from its enemies.
