Comment:
O Muslims, O armies, O valiant Jordanian army, O Egyptian army, the best soldiers on earth, O Muslim armies in Syria, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the lands of Muslims, the wounds of Muslims in Gaza, the land of glory and steadfastness, have not healed or been bandaged, why?! Are your rulers preventing you?! Do you obey them and not obey the command of your Lord: ﴿Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them﴾? Is the command of the tyrannical, treacherous rulers implemented and the command of Allah Almighty neglected ﴿What is the matter with you? How do you judge?﴾?! Do your rulers order you to guard the borders of the Jews, who have shed the blood of your Muslim brothers before your eyes?! Does Allah command you to preserve the borders drawn by your enemy or does He command you to support your brothers ﴿But if they seek help of you for the religion, then you must help﴾?! Do you watch your brothers die of starvation and remain silent?! Does Allah command you to do that?! Do you give precedence to the words of rulers who have sold themselves to Satan over the command of your Lord?! Allah tells you ﴿You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind﴾ and your rulers make you at the tail of nations?! Where is the goodness of your Lord that He has honored you with?! Is there not a wise man among you? Where is al-Mu'tasim among you? Is there no one among you who tramples the command of your treacherous rulers and gives precedence to the command of Allah and works to save the weak Muslims who are seeking help with the chivalry of religion in you?!
What will you answer your Lord on the Day of Resurrection about the blood that was shed and the honor that was violated while you possess the material power capable of eradicating the Jews, those who have incurred [His] wrath?!
O Muslims, O armies: The victory of the Muslims in Gaza and all of Palestine, but in all the lands of the Muslims, will only be achieved if you return as your Lord commanded you, one nation apart from the people "The parable of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for one another is that of a body; when any limb of it aches, the whole body aches because of sleeplessness and fever." And do not be like those of whom Allah said: ﴿And they will say, "Our Lord, indeed we obeyed our masters and our great ones, and they led us astray from the [right] way."﴾ So work to remove those who deprive you of a paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth, and pledge allegiance to an imam who unites you and leads you to fight and expel the Jews from the land of the Muslims, so that he may scatter those behind them and repel their plot from your religion and honor ﴿And heal the breasts of a believing people﴾.
