The renaissance of nations is only achieved through thought, not gold and silver!
The News:
With the first night of the new Hijri year, the most expensive Kiswah in the world, the Kiswah of the Holy Kaaba, is changed. It consumes about 1000 kilograms of raw silk, 120 kilograms of gold threads, and 100 silver threads. The number of pieces in the belt of the Holy Kaaba's Kiswah is 16 pieces, 6 pieces, 12 chandeliers below the belt, and 4 Samadiyyas placed in the corners of the Kaaba. It also consists of 47 silk pieces embroidered with 68 verses, and its manufacture took a month. This Kiswah weighs 1416 kilograms.
Comment:
The Kiswah of the Kaaba, indeed the Kaaba itself, is not more precious or favored by God than the blood and honor of a Muslim, that it should be adorned with gold, silver, and silk, and that all this money should be allocated to it, while Muslims are displaced and besieged without food, drink, or medicine! We are in an era of Ruwaibidah's rule, when Muslims' money is wasted on making the most expensive Kiswah in the world and making the largest plate of rice to enter the Guinness Book of World Records! This is what the Islamic nation has become; armies without strength or jihad, wasted money, and youth without a future, our resources are plundered and handed over as gifts to the heads of disbelief to make weapons with which they kill us and destroy our countries, then the rulers appear to us to denounce or wail, while they are the basis of the calamity and the origin of the disease that has afflicted Muslims. When Umar ibn al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, was asked: Why don't you clothe the Kaaba with silk? He said: "The stomachs of Muslims are more worthy than clothing the Kaaba with silk."
Mecca, the Sacred House of God, is where Muslims from all over the world meet, leaving their world and what they own for the sake of God. You see the Muslim longing and eagerly anticipating visiting the House of God, but Hajj and Umrah have become a business and an opportunity to amass money. Everything is for a price. Materialism has become rampant, even the pebbles for stoning Satan are now sold!! The rituals of God will remain for God Almighty. As for the contradiction that we live in and that provokes Muslims, it is a natural result of abandoning God's law, so we have become in an era in which the agent, the traitor, and the normalizer are called servants of the Two Holy Mosques, and he is the one who sold his religion for the cheapest price in order to please the Jews and Christians. This is how our ties have been severed, and Muslims have been drowned in corruption and festivals of nudity and immorality. The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, spoke the truth: «There will come upon people deceitful years in which the liar will be believed, the truthful will be disbelieved, the traitor will be trusted, and the trustworthy will be betrayed, and the Ruwaibidah will speak.» It was said: What is the Ruwaibidah? He said: «The insignificant man in matters of public concern.»
The Islamic State has disappeared from us, so Islam has become without color or smell. They have ruled us with a distorted man-made system until we have become at the bottom of the nations and a target for everyone who comes and goes. This is what we have become, and the scourge remains as long as these rulers roam in the lands of the Muslims. Islam is a principle; a creed from which a system emanates, a detailed system comprehensive of worship, transactions, an economic and social system, foreign relations, and a system of government... ﴿We have not neglected anything in the Book﴾. With Islam, servants and countries rise, bringing them out of outdated customs and false beliefs. It is a religion and a state, not a priestly religion confined to places of worship and some transactions.
The demise of these client rulers is inevitable. With awareness and will, the nation will reject them, and with their demise, goodness will spread, God willing, and justice will prevail. With the system of Islam alone, we will remove the rule of harm and restore God's rule on earth, and this is His promise, Almighty and Glorious, despite the scheming of the schemers and the plotting of the plotters.
