Comment:
It is remarkable that following the comments of people on this news published by Al Jazeera Turkey shows that the vast majority of the nation does not deviate from the content of this news, to the point that you can rephrase it as follows: that the entire nation or its vast majority yearns for the Caliphate, and this has profound implications that extend throughout the history and culture of the nation, its interaction with its present, and its outlook for the future as well.
As for the dimension related to the nation's history and culture, from a historical perspective, if you search within the nation for its scientific glories, its progress over nations, or its leadership in the field of world dominance, you will not find glories and achievements that the nation agrees upon, with its Arabs, non-Arabs, Kurds, Turks, and all its ethnicities, and that rise to the level of consideration, except when Islam, with its system and values, was embodied and controlling all aspects of life. As for its culture, every breath that the nation takes, and every meaning it wants to express of support, justice, unity, bringing people out of darkness into light, or bridging the gap between the poor and the rich, you find that this breath extends clearly to the Book of God Almighty and the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ, just as the unity of the nation in its holidays, fasting, breaking fast, and pilgrimage, all these meanings say that it is a nation greater in its concepts than to stand at the limit of homeland and nation.
As for its present, slogans have been raised and embellished for the nation without end, all of which are far from Islam, but rather clash with it directly, face to face. The nation has seen its brothers in Gaza being bombed, and found that the borders - which the nation knows in its conscience are imaginary borders - are used to justify sitting idly by while the blood is being shed. It saw that the sitting idly by, justified by interest, balance of power, homeland, and nation, has made the cowards, who could not stand up to the Muslims in a battle, from among the Jews, wreak havoc in country after country, and shed blood after blood, as the regimes surrendered their countries and waited for the butcher to stand at the threshold of their homes, and he does not wait for permission to enter with his knife a country that previously distanced itself from the conflict, or rather from supporting the brothers of faith and religion, so he did not save himself under the pretext of safety, nor did he support his brother!
At the same time, the nation has come to see that if it stood as a complete nation, no entity, no matter how strong - in terms of weapons and soldiers - would stand before it while it holds fast to the rope of God all together and does not become divided.
As for what it sees in its future through its bitter present, where all the discourses have failed, it is what it has begun to draw from its culture and history to live with in a future different from what it is living in, a future in which the one nation gathers under the shade of the book of its Lord and the Sunnah of its Prophet, a near future, God willing, in which the hand of the Jews is lifted from the people of Palestine, but rather Palestine is liberated and they enter the mosque as they entered it the first time, and the world sees the nation folding the current image of the earth and dressing it in the attire of Islam and illuminating it with the light of this religion.
The one nation that gathers in the shade of the Book of God and the Sunnah of His Messenger and strives in the cause of God is nothing but a detailed explanation of the word "Caliphate," even if the nation's eloquent speakers do not help it at a certain moment to express it, but it exists in its thought and feeling, and today it has possessed eloquence, and reached the level of accuracy of understanding that it has become clearly expressing the deep-rootedness of that idea in the souls and its dominance over the hearts.
Perhaps what prevents the nation from going out for the sake of this project "the Caliphate" and selling for its sake what is precious and valuable, is only what it sees of the difficulties that make it in its eyes difficult to achieve, and this requires instilling meanings of hope, and more than that, meanings of trust in God, attachment to Him, and reliance on Him alone, so that the nation can work for its project and take seriously what it believes in, on the basis that if God wills that the newborn be born, then the nation today is ready to embrace its newborn and protect it with itself and its wealth, and that is from the harbingers of relief, God willing.
