Comment:
The sight of desperate young people being thrown into the depths of the sea on boats resembling floating coffins has become a daily image that portends a humanitarian catastrophe, embodying the bitterness of the nation's reality under regimes of betrayal and subservience.
This desperate migration, to which the nation's youth are driven, is not a choice for them, but rather an escape from the hell of client regimes that have plundered the country's wealth, humiliated its people, and closed all doors to a decent life before them. The client rulers who have surrendered the nation's assets to the infidel West are now surrendering its youth as fuel for their colonial projects, in a vile deal that meets the West's need for young blood after luxury and old age have consumed their societies.
These poor migrants are but victims of a corrupt global system; the brutal capitalist system that sees people only as cheap commodities and the nation as a permissible market. A greedy system that has impoverished peoples, displaced minds, and lost generations, and then, when the victims flee the hell of their rulers to the hell of the West, they are met with more brutality and exploitation. Is it not a shame that our wealth remains plundered, our youth displaced, our minds emigrating, and our land violated?!
The radical solution to the tragedy of migration can only be achieved by establishing the righteous Caliphate, which preserves blood, money, and honor, employs energies in the service of the nation, and makes the land of Islam a safe paradise for which people fight and do not migrate from. By God, if God's law were established on earth, wealth distributed justly, and freedom of innovation and work unleashed, not a single young man would migrate in search of dignity, and boats of death would not sink with the nation's children. So, to the glory of this world and the hereafter, we call upon you, O Muslims, to establish this great obligation.
