“This [Qur’ān] is notification for the people that they may be warned thereby”

“This [Qur’ān] is notification for the people that they may be warned thereby” [Ibrahim: 52]

[هَذَا بَلَاغٌ لِلنَّاسِ وَلِيُنْذَرُوا بِهِ]

Today, Wednesday, 18/10/2023, the White House criminal, Biden, met with the Jewish criminal Netanyahu to scrutinize what remains of the land of Gaza that they did not burn yet, and what weapons and equipment the Jews need for America to supply them with, to complete the scorched earth (policy). Biden said (that he wanted to come to “Israel” so that the people there and in the entire world would know that the United States stands with “Israel,” indicating that Washington wants to make sure that “Israel” has what it needs to respond to the attacks of the Hamas movement, which he considered to have committed what he described as atrocities in “Israel”.” (Al Jazeera, 18/10/2023). This came in the wake of the massacre committed by the Jews of bombing the Baptist Hospital in the Gaza Strip, leaving hundreds of martyrs, most of them children and women.

Biden was scheduled to go today, Wednesday, from Tel Aviv to Amman to meet with the King of Jordan and the Egyptian and Palestinian presidents to discuss how to end the Palestinian issue, with a state in part of the 1967 occupation that is demilitarized. As the Egyptian president said in a meeting with the German Chancellor: (What made the matter get to this?) Is there a horizon or a Palestinian state that we have succeeded in bringing to light over the past thirty years? This, despite the various initiatives and laws issued by the United Nations, international organizations, and Arab initiatives that came forward in this regard to establish a demilitarized Palestinian state.” (Al-Shorouk News, 18/10/2023). However, this meeting was canceled or “postponed” after the crime of the Jews on the Baptist Hospital, as a White House official said (“President Biden canceled a scheduled visit to Jordan after visiting Israel,” indicating that after consulting with King Abdullah II and in light of the days of mourning announced by the Palestinian President of the Palestinian Authority. President Biden will postpone his travel to Jordan and the planned meeting with these two leaders…”

The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the number of victims of the ‘Israeli’ bombing that targeted the courtyard of the Baptist Hospital in Gaza had risen to 500 martyrs, most of whom were women and children…” (Al Jazeera, 18/10/2023).

Thus, despite America’s full support for the Jewish entity occupying Palestine, and despite the declared support that Biden stated while addressing Netanyahu in that meeting,where he said that, ““Israel” must again be a safe place for the Jewish people. And I promise you, we’re going to do everything in our power to make sure it will be.” He further reassured Netanyahu, saying, “You’re not alone.. we will not let you ever be alone.” He thus stressed that “Israel” is not alone, and that his country continues to support it. He added, “We will not stand by and do nothing again… Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.” (CBS News; Dubai Al Arabiya Net, 18/10/2023)). Despite all of this, the rulers in Muslim countries are courting America and begging it to open the Rafah crossing for them so that they can provide medicine and food to the afflicted people of Gaza. This is what has been announced but what is hidden is greater! They hope to get this from Biden as he declares, not by implying, that he supports the Jews day and night as they blow up homes on top of their people, and bomb hospitals, killing patients and their families by the hundreds, while the Baptist Hospital bombing exemplifies their hostility, at a time when Biden justifies their crimes and all their tyranny!

Before Biden’s arrival, his Secretary of State, Blinken, met with the heads of the Arab countries, Jordan, the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the Emirates, and Bahrain… Before meeting them, he met with the Jews, opening his visit by saying that he “come before you not only as the United States secretary of state but also as a Jew.” Then their discussion was on opening the crossing and sending medicine and food! The rulers asked him to convince the Jews to agree to open the Rafah Border crossing!! Isn’t this a shame and disgrace? Are our armies surrounding Palestine unable to open the Rafah crossing?! The Jordanian army, the smallest army of them, is capable of destroying Jewish fortresses, thus how about the Egyptian army? Are the Muslim armies around Palestine unable to liberate it?! Do they need to plead from Biden to open the Rafah crossing for them?!

The Muslims’ calamity is their rulers. They prevented the armies from supporting their brothers in Gaza al-Hashem, they stood and watched what was happening, counting the martyrs, calling them “the dead”. They registered the wounded, and were content with registering them… The best among them is the one who hopes that Biden will open the crossing for them so that they can help bury the dead and provide medicine to the wounded… they are satisfied with that.

]صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ فَهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ[

“Deaf, dumb and blind – so they will not return [to the right path]” [Al-Baqara: 18].

The people of Palestine do not need medicine or food, but rather they need someone who will support them, crush their enemy, and restore their pride. They need the army of Jordan, Ibn al-Walid, and Abu Ubaidah, who expelled the Romans from the land of Ash-Sham. They need the army of Egypt and Salahuddin, the conqueror of the Crusaders. They need the army of Egypt, Qutuz, and Baybars, the conqueror of the Mongols and Tatars in Ain Jalut… They need Abdul Hamid II with his famous saying that Palestine cannot be bought or sold, but rather it belongs to the Muslims, with no authority over it for the Jews… they need a sincere ruler who will fight the Jews and fulfill the words of the truthful and trustworthy (saw), «لَتُقَاتِلُنَّ الْيَهُودَ فَلَتَقْتُلُنَّهُمْ…»“You will fight the Jews, and you will kill them” as narrated by Muslim on the authority of Ibn Omar. This is so that Palestine is restored as mighty and invincible, as it was before, the Abode of Islam (Dar ul Islam), blessed by Allah (swt), His Messenger (saw) and the believers.

O Armies in Muslim Lands:

You can hear and see how your enemy is bombing the Gaza Strip by land, sea and air to turn it into a scorched earth… So how can you not support your brothers or fight?!

[قَاتِلُوهُمْ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ وَيُخْزِهِمْ وَيَنْصُرْكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَشْفِ صُدُورَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ]

“Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts [i.e., desires] of a believing people” [At-Tawba: 14]

You both hear and see how your rulers forbid you and prevent you from fighting the Jews; who occupied the land of Isra’ and Mi’raj, expelled its people from it and fought you regarding your Deen, and they are still doing so. Allah (swt) commands you to fight them and does not forbid you from fighting them.

[إِنَّمَا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَأَخْرَجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُوا عَلَىٰ إِخْرَاجِكُمْ أَن تَوَلَّوْهُمْ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُمْ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ]

“Allah only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion – [forbids] that you make allies of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers” [Al-Mumtahana: 9].

O Armies in Muslim Lands:

The land of Isra’ and Mi’raj is calling you, so respond to the call. The people of the Gaza Strip are asking for your support, so support them.Do not be among those about whom Allah (swt) said,

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ انْفِرُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أَرَضِيتُمْ بِالْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ * إِلَّا تَنْفِرُوا يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَاباً أَلِيماً وَيَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْماً غَيْرَكُمْ وَلَا تَضُرُّوهُ شَيْئاً وَاللهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ]

“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. (38) If you do not go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment and will replace you with another people, and you will not harm Him at all. And Allah is over all things competent.” [At-Tawba: 38-39].
