Is there not among you a righteous man who will become indignant for the sake of Allah and His sanctities and stand up for the oppressed?

O People of Kinanah Egypt, O the best army of Allah! After all the crimes committed by the Jews that surpass the transgressions of the Tatars and the Mongols, with their desecration of Islamic holy sites and its sacred land, we shall not appeal to the rulers, for we know that they are on the side of the enemy, and they are the true iron dome protecting and guarding the Jewish entity. Instead, we address our call to the people of Kinanah and its army, officers and soldiers.

Indeed, Palestine and Al-Aqsa are the trust (amaneh) of your forefather, Salah ad-Din, which he bequeathed to you after their liberation from the Crusaders. Where are you in safeguarding this trust? Where are you in upholding the trusts of Allah for you and in supporting your brothers in Gaza who are being cold-bloodedly murdered by the Jews? Do you not feel the outrage for those lives? Do you not become indignant for the sake of Allah and His sanctities? Has the saying of the Messenger of Allah (saw) not reached you:

«مَا مِنْ امْرِئٍ يَخْذُلُ امْرَأً مُسْلِماً فِي مَوْضِعٍ تُنْتَهَكُ فِيهِ حُرْمَتُهُ وَيُنْتَقَصُ فِيهِ مِنْ عِرْضِهِ إِلَّا خَذَلَهُ اللهُ فِي مَوْطِنٍ يُحِبُّ فِيهِ نُصْرَتَهُ، وَمَا مِنْ امْرِئٍ يَنْصُرُ مُسْلِماً فِي مَوْضِعٍ يُنْتَقَصُ فِيهِ مِنْ عِرْضِهِ وَيُنْتَهَكُ فِيهِ مِنْ حُرْمَتِهِ إِلَّا نَصَرَهُ اللهُ فِي مَوْطِنٍ يُحِبُّ نُصْرَتَهُ»!

“No (Muslim) man will desert a man who is a Muslim in a place where his respect may be violated and his honour aspersed without Allah deserting him in a place here he wishes his help; and no (Muslim) man who will help a Muslim in a place where his honour may be aspersed and his respect violated without Allah helping him in a place where he wishes his help.”?

So where are you in supporting your brothers in Gaza al-Hashem? By Allah, He will ask you about them on the Day of Judgment, and the Messenger of Allah will intercede for them. So prepare your response and recall your excuses from now, for by Allah, there will be no excuse for the one who apologizes today.

But this silence and inaction from the Kinanah’s army, stationed in its barracks, have turned its weapons not against the enemy but against its own people, to suppress any uprising. Its mission is no longer to protect its people or preserve the Deen and well-being of the people but to safeguard the regime and its leaders from the people’s anger, due to the implementation of the oppressive Western systems and laws upon them. What they are doing to their people is more heinous than the crimes of the Jews. What happens in Egypt’s prisons and state security dungeons, what occurred in Rabaa and Nahda, is a witness to the regime’s crimes and its tools and executors.

What Bashar did in Syria with killing, burning, and destruction, all of this emboldened the Jews, pushing them to invade further and further into the blood of our people in Palestine, thinking that the usurping Jewish entity is safe from the wrath of the Ummah. These armies that were supposed to be outraged for the sanctities of Islam and the blood of Muslims have become the ones protecting and surrounding the vulnerable captives in Gaza, who have no power or strength. They did not suffice with bombing innocent civilians but even targeted hospitals that were treating their wounded, killing hundreds of women, elderly, and children. All we can say is: Sufficient for us is Allah, and He is the best Disposer of affairs against those who assist the enemies of the Ummah and prevent their armies from supporting their causes!

The issue is not just Gaza, or even the entire cause of Palestine; it is the issue of an entire Ummah whose sanctities are violated, and whose blood is spilled. Where are the armies of the Ummah? Where is the Kinanah’s army? Who will rise in anger for the sanctities of Allah, O officers and soldiers in the Kinanah’s army? Who will stand up for the blood that is being shed, and the honor that is being violated? Who will defend these children whose bellies are empty? Who will protect the elderly women and others?

The list is long, and the crimes are beyond belief. The crimes of the Jews require a Farouk who roars, a Khalid who charges, a Mu’tasim who defends, and a Salah who liberates. Where are you, officers and soldiers? Where are you, descendants of the great conquerors who aided the oppressed and relieved the distressed? Where are you in supporting your brothers and sisters when the West has conspired against them, and gathered its might and mischief to uproot their very existence? Don’t you want Allah to soothe the hearts of the people of Gaza through your support? Is there not among you a wise man who will cry out like the Mu’tasim, declaring to Allah, ‘I swear I won’t drink water until I secure the victory for the women and children of Gaza’? Is there not a man among you who will become outraged for the sake of Allah and swear not to smile or laugh until he liberates Al-Aqsa?

O Officers and Soldiers in the Kinanah’s Army: Who will stand for Islam if it is not you? Who will defend its sanctities and aid your brothers other than you? I implore you, I implore you for the sake of your faith, your sanctities, and your brethren, whose blood is being spilled, whose children are being killed, whose sanctities are being violated, and whose women are being widowed. There is no savior for them except Allah, and by Allah, He has made it obligatory upon you to support them. Where are you in fulfilling this duty? Who among you will declare to Allah and solemnly swear, ‘I will not rest until I support Gaza and its people’? Who will sound the call to arms and mobilize the armies to march toward Al-Aqsa?

O Officers and Soldiers in the Kinanah’s Army, O Sincere Ones in the Kinanah’s Army: The support for Gaza and the liberation of Palestine begins with liberating Cairo from this regime that stands between you and the liberation of Palestine and the aid to the vulnerable. Isn’t there among you a wise man who will become indignant for the sake of Allah, His Messenger, and His sanctities, and will uproot this regime, giving victory to the Hizb ut Tahrir so that it can establish an Islamic state, mobilize the Kinanah army, and uproot the Jewish entity?

By Allah, the matter is in your hands, and it is easier than turning a blind eye. It only requires sincerity with Allah, seeking His pleasure and His satisfaction. Then, all those fragile idols that sit above your heads and all those thrones that have been hollowed out by termites will crumble. Answer the call, you who are devoted to the Kinanah’s cause, for the address is to you first and foremost. Who will stand for Islam if it is not you? So declare it sincerely for Allah, remove the yoke of these rulers from your necks, pledge your allegiance to Allah alone, and join hands with the sincere sons of the Ummah who are aware and actively working to implement Islam through His Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate) upon the method of the Prophethood. Perhaps Allah will decree it through your hands, and you will achieve a great triumph.”

[قَاتِلُوهُمْ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ وَيُخْزِهِمْ وَيَنصُرْكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَشْفِ صُدُورَ قَوْمٍ مُّؤْمِنِينَ]

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