Al-Azhar's Silence and the Echo of Massacres: The Statement of the Incapable Will Not Save Gaza

The News:

Social media platforms ignited with controversy among tweeters after Al-Azhar Al-Sharif deleted its lengthy statement in which the Sheikh of Al-Azhar University Ahmed Al-Tayeb addressed a global appeal for immediate action to save Gaza from the deadly famine. Al-Azhar's statement confirmed that the human conscience is at stake in light of the continued killing of Palestinians in Gaza, warning that everyone who supports Israel with weapons or supports it with decisions is a direct partner in the genocide. However, this statement remained published for only a few minutes before it was deleted from Al-Azhar's accounts on social media platforms, which sparked widespread astonishment among virtual world users.

Comment:

After a long silence from Al-Azhar and its scholars about the massacres that make children's hair turn white, which are taking place within a stone's throw of them, and after nearly two years of killing and starving the people of Gaza, until the situation recently reached death by starvation on top of their death by killing and abuse, and after the voices of the people of Gaza were hoarse as they appealed to their neighbors for help, and they lost hope in their rescue, so they contented themselves with calling for the opening of the Rafah crossing... and after... and after... the zeal stirred in Al-Azhar and its scholars, so they issued a pale statement that can only be issued by an incapable person!

Al-Azhar addressed an urgent global appeal to the "free and influential forces of conscience" to work immediately to save the people of Gaza from a deadly and widespread famine imposed by the Jews, as if Al-Azhar is placing itself outside this appeal, having no relation to it, and not concerned with it, but rather as a humanitarian institution distant from Gaza as the distance between the East and the West! Its statement almost matches the statements of the hypocrite of Turkey, Erdogan, who said: "Humanity is dying in Gaza, and children are suffering from severe hunger amid a lack of aid, calling on societies to establish an immediate and continuous moral position," and considered it "a full-fledged genocide."

This cowardly position is in line with the position of Al-Azhar, which stressed that "targeting shelters for the displaced and aid distribution centers with live bullets is a crime." It also affirmed that "everyone who supports Israel with weapons or decisions is a partner in this crime," warning with repeated phrases such as: "The wrongdoers will know what a reversal they will be reversed into." This position is in harmony with the position of Erdogan, who is conspiring against Gaza and supporting the Jews, who also said: "Those who remain silent about the genocide in Gaza become partners with Israel in its crimes against humanity," calling for a clear international humanitarian position "to express rejection of injustice."

Both of them, Al-Azhar and the hypocrite Erdogan, speak in the language of the absent and the sender, as if the crimes that are taking place in Gaza do not concern them, and are not their responsibility, but rather the responsibility of others who are conspiring against the people of Gaza, in the international system and its organizations! Al-Azhar has sufficed itself with attacking international silence and the lack of humanitarian responsibility, and condemned the global disregard for what is happening in Gaza, without attacking the silence of the Egyptian regime, the slumber of its army, and the silence of its scholars about inciting the army of Kinana to fight the Jews, as if they had not read His saying: ﴿O Prophet, urge the believers to battle.﴾!

Despite these pale statements, treacherous declarations, and cowardly stances, the Jews and their supporters from the rulers of Egypt were not satisfied even with this level of betrayal and cowardice, so they ordered the scholars of the sultans in Al-Azhar Al-Sharif to return to their slumber and silence, and withdraw their words that some might imagine are fiery, so they swallowed their tongues without shame before God or His servants. How could they not, when they fear the disbelievers more than they fear God Almighty! As He Almighty said: ﴿Have you not seen those who were told, "Restrain your hands [from fighting] and establish prayer and give zakah"? But then when fighting was ordained for them, at once a party of them feared men as they fear Allah or with [even] greater fear.﴾.

The reason for the Jews' rejection and condemnation of even these pale positions is not because they are bold or terrifying to them, for they know that they are merely statements to save face, issued only after pressure from the Muslim street, which is boiling with anguish for its brothers in Gaza. Therefore, those who issued these statements had to issue something to calm the people, not with the intention of inciting the armies to jihad, which is what truly terrifies the Jews. They only addressed the speech to unknown parties, or parties that are already biased towards the Jews, but the Jews fear that these whispers may one day develop into sincere and loyal voices that call on the Muslim armies to move immediately, overthrow the thrones, fight the Jews, and liberate the countries and people from their evils. This is what scares the Jews and the rulers of the Muslims.

If the scholars of Al-Azhar were truly serious and sincere to God, they would have clarified to the people the Sharia ruling, and the clear path that actually leads to breaking the borders, which has become clear to every sighted and insightful person, which is: overthrowing the thrones of the rulers who are loyal to the Jews and Christians, and installing a righteous caliph who rules according to what God has revealed, and mobilizing the armies to cleanse the blessed land from the impurity of the Jews.

But alas... alas... the scholars of Al-Azhar - except for those on whom my Lord has mercy - have agreed to be with the rulers of harm, so they have become scholars of sultans, not scholars of religion, and they have become like the clergymen from the People of the Book, of whom God Almighty said: ﴿And [mention, O Muhammad], when Allah took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture, "You must make it clear to the people and not conceal it." But they threw it away behind their backs and exchanged it for a small price. And wretched is that which they purchased.﴾!

Turkey and Arab Regimes Asked Hamas to Lay Down Their Weapons

Turkey and Arab Regimes Asked Hamas to Lay Down Their Weapons

Turkey and Arab Regimes Asked Hamas to Lay Down Their Weapons

(Translated)

News:

The high-level United Nations international conference entitled "Finding a Peaceful Solution to the Palestinian Issue and Implementing the Two-State Solution" was held in New York on July 29 and 30, led by France and Saudi Arabia. Following the conference, which aimed to recognize Palestine as a state and end the war in Gaza, a joint declaration was signed. In addition to the European Union and the League of Arab States, Turkey also signed the declaration along with 17 other countries. The declaration, which consisted of 42 articles and an annex, condemned Operation Al-Aqsa Flood carried out by Hamas. The participating countries called on Hamas to lay down its weapons and demanded that it hand over its administration to the Mahmoud Abbas regime. (Agencies, July 31, 2025).

Comment:

Considering the countries running the conference, the presence of America is clearly evident, and despite not having the authority or influence to make decisions, the Saudi regime, its servant, accompanying France is the clearest evidence of this.

In this regard, French President Emmanuel Macron stated on July 24 that France would officially recognize the Palestinian state in September, and would be the first G7 country to do so. Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barreau held a press conference at the conference, announcing the goals of the New York Declaration. In fact, in the statement issued after the conference, the massacres of the Jewish entity were condemned without taking any punitive decision against it, and Hamas was asked to disarm and hand over the administration of Gaza to Mahmoud Abbas.

In the new Middle East strategy that America seeks to implement based on the Abraham Accords, the Salman regime represents the spearhead. Normalization with the Jewish entity will begin after the war, with Saudi Arabia; then other countries will follow, and this wave will turn into a strategic alliance extending from North Africa to Pakistan. The Jewish entity will also receive a security guarantee as an important part of this alliance; then America will use this alliance as fuel in its conflict against China and Russia, and to include Europe completely under its wings, and of course, against the possibility of establishing the Caliphate.

The obstacle to this plan currently is the war in Gaza and then the anger of the Ummah, which is increasing and is about to explode. Therefore, the United States preferred that the European Union, the Arab regimes, and Turkey take the initiative in the New York Declaration. Thinking that accepting the decisions contained in the declaration would be easier.

As for the Arab regimes and Turkey, their mission is to please the United States, protect the Jewish entity, and in return for this obedience, protect themselves from the anger of their peoples, and live a humiliating life with the crumbs of cheap power until they are thrown away or afflicted with the torment of the afterlife. Turkey's reservation on the declaration, on the condition that the so-called two-state solution plan is implemented, is only an attempt to cover up the real goal of the declaration and mislead Muslims, and it has no real value.

In conclusion, the path to liberating Gaza and all of Palestine is not through a fictitious state in which Jews live. The Islamic solution for Palestine is the rule of Islam in the usurped land, which is to fight the usurper, and to mobilize the armies of Muslims to uproot the Jews from the blessed land. The permanent and radical solution is to establish the Rightly Guided Caliphate and protect the blessed land of Isra and Mi'raj with the shield of the Caliphate. God willing, those days are not far away.

The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "The Hour will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims will kill them, until the Jew hides behind the stone and the tree, and the stone or the tree says: O Muslim, O servant of God, there is a Jew behind me, so come and kill him." (Narrated by Muslim)

What America Wants is Official Recognition of the Jewish Entity, Even if Weapons Remain

What America Wants is Official Recognition of the Jewish Entity, Even if Weapons Remain

What America Wants is Official Recognition of the Jewish Entity, Even if Weapons Remain

The News:

Most of the political and security news in Lebanon revolves around the issue of weapons targeting the Jewish entity, without any other weapons, and focusing on it by most political analysts and journalists.

Comment:

America is asking for the weapons that fought the Jews to be handed over to the Lebanese army, and it does not care about any weapons that remain in the hands of all the people, which can be used internally when it finds an interest in doing so, or between Muslims in neighboring countries.

America, the greatest enemy of us Muslims, said it frankly, even rudely, when its envoy Barack stated from Lebanon that the weapon that must be handed over to the Lebanese state is the weapon that can be used against the Jewish entity occupying blessed Palestine, and not any other individual or medium weapon because this does not harm the Jewish entity, but rather serves it and serves America and the entire West in inciting it to fight between Muslims under the pretext of takfiris, extremists, reactionaries, or backward people, or other descriptions that they fuel among Muslims under the pretext of sectarianism, nationalism, or ethnicity, or even between Muslims and others who have lived with us for hundreds of years and found nothing from us but the preservation of honor, money, and life, and that we were applying the laws to them as we apply them to ourselves, they have what we have and they are obligated to do what we are obligated to do. For the Sharia ruling is the basis of governance for Muslims, whether among themselves, or between them and other subjects of the state.

As long as our greatest enemy, America, wants to destroy or neutralize the weapon that harms the Jewish entity, then why focus on that among politicians and media professionals?!

Why are the most important topics raised in the media and in the Council of Ministers, at the request of the American enemy, without examining them in depth and clarifying the extent of their danger to the nation, the most dangerous of which is the demarcation of the land borders with the Jewish entity, that is, the official recognition of this occupying entity, in a way that no one after that has the right to carry weapons, any weapons, for the sake of Palestine, which is the property of all Muslims and not only the people of Palestine, as they try to convince us as if it belongs only to the people of Palestine?!

The danger lies in presenting this matter sometimes under the title of peace, sometimes under the title of reconciliation, and at other times under the title of security in the region, or under the title of economic, tourism and political prosperity, and the prosperity that they promise Muslims in the event of recognition of this monstrous entity!

America knows very well that Muslims can never be satisfied with recognizing the Jewish entity, and that is why you see it creeping into them through other things to distract them from the most important fateful matter. Yes, America wants us to focus on the issue of weapons, but it knows that weapons, no matter how powerful, will not work and cannot be used against the Jewish entity if official Lebanon recognizes it by demarcating the borders with it, and thus recognizes it and its right to the land of blessed Palestine, under the pretext of the Muslim rulers and the Palestinian Authority.

This recognition of the Jewish entity is a betrayal of God, His Messenger, and the believers, and of all the blood of the martyrs that has been shed and continues to be shed for the liberation of Palestine, and despite all that, we still hope for good in our nation, some of whom are fighting in Gaza, Hashim, and in Palestine, and they say to us with their blood: We will never recognize the Jewish entity, even if it costs us all this and more... So, do we accept in Lebanon to recognize the Jewish entity, no matter how difficult the circumstances are?! Do we accept to demarcate the borders with it, that is, to recognize it, even if the weapons are left with us?! It is the question that we must answer before it is too late.
