O Muslim Ummah, how long will this last; its men and armies?!
News:
The Jordanian regime assaulted the young man Hamza Bani Issa and brutally tortured him, leading to the gouging of his eye under the charge of (terrorism), the reason being his enjoining good and forbidding evil and expressing sympathy with Gaza and its people.
Comment:
"A lion against me, but in wars, an ostrich" is a proverb that applies to those who show courage and strength as long as they are safe from their enemy, but when they sense the danger of enemies, they fear and become cowardly. This is the habit of the cowardly rulers of this time, as they act like lions against their people, while they hang their heads when their enemies humiliate them.
First, we give the good news to brother Hamza that his eye has preceded him to Paradise, God willing. This is the case of everyone who has suffered from the afflicted people of Gaza from all kinds of torture, starvation, thirst, and systematic killing, until the situation has reached the point where those who gather to obtain flour and some of what sustains them are treated like rats, hunted with bullets and bombs... As if the Day of Judgment has come in Gaza and there is no end in sight to stop those massacres.
We say: Verily, among the traditions of God Almighty for His nation is trial: ﴿And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient, Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return." Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided.﴾, and He says: ﴿And We will surely test you until We make evident those who strive among you [for the cause of Allah ] and the patient, and We will test your affairs.﴾
God Almighty, if He wants to grant victory to the weak, He engages the strong with each other, so that He brings the weak out from among them, so they are saved or able to overcome them. God says: ﴿And were it not that Allah checks the people, some by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted, but Allah is full of bounty to the worlds.﴾ Ibn Abbas said: If it were not for God repelling the enemy with the soldiers of the Muslims, the polytheists would have prevailed and killed the believers and destroyed the countries and mosques.
Because we follow the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, we will take the Battle of the Trench as an example, where God sufficed the believers in the fighting when He saw the sincerity of their dedication and their lack of submission to the worldly demands of the disbelievers. Patience, perseverance, steadfastness, and fear of God are the keys to success, prosperity, and victory. Yes, God hears and sees, and He is certainly watching these oppressors. So, stand, O Muslims, in the position of the truthful with God and the sincere to Him, the position of honor and reliance on God, for whoever relies on God will not be humiliated, bored, misguided, or disturbed.
Whoever strives towards honor and works to create it, God will be with him and clothe him with the garment of honor in this world, and he will have a great reward in the Hereafter. As for whoever accepts submission and subservience to the infidel enemy and its tails, it is a right upon God to clothe him with the garment of humiliation in this world and the Hereafter. This is the state of our rulers, especially those who opened their countries and received the American president and lavished him with money that is not theirs, but rather belongs to the oppressed and subjugated Islamic nation. May God not bless these insignificant people and those who follow their path and follow in their footsteps.
