Will we pray at Al-Aqsa soon?

In the past few days, there have been signs of good... Yet, if the nation wants victory, there are Sunnahs that cannot be bypassed. "Expect good and you will find it" is not a hadith nor even a correct principle. The correct one is: Work for good and you will find it.

As for being weak in taking the means and then contenting ourselves with watching events without serious effort to influence them, and yet some of us encourage each other with the approach of victory, this is blameworthy reliance and negligence, not good expectations of Allah as some think. The helpless one is he who follows his desires and wishes from Allah what is not meant.

We have experienced before that those who contemplate without action become psychologically depressed later and doubt Allah's promise! I say this because of what I see of the state of contemplation and commenting with near dates, which prevails among many, even at the level of some preachers, may Allah forgive us and them.

Any group that strives to raise the word of Allah and defend the oppressed, Allah is their reward, but it is beyond the Sunnah to consider them as representing the entire nation and think that they will bring victory to a nation that has not supported the religion of Allah as it should be supported... It is necessary to remind of these meanings before someone says: (How is this?) - Why did not what we hope for happen? (Say it is from yourselves).

Does this mean that we will not pray in Al-Aqsa Mosque soon?

No, this means not to wait for someone to say to us: We have liberated Al-Aqsa for you, come and pray in it! This means not to be in the role of distant observers, but to seek the way to support the religion of Allah as we can.

As it is said: Allah's victory is near, but we are the ones who approach it or move away from it... (Verily, the mercy of Allah is near to the good-doers)... and the equation is clear: (If you help Allah, He will help you).

Therefore, instead of saying: (O Allah, grant us the victory You promised)! We say: O Allah, help us in obeying You so that we deserve Your victory. If we maintain the momentum, and our determination does not waver as it usually does, and we turn pain into repentance, awakening, and work with determination as Allah commanded, then Allah's victory is near, and Allah blesses at that time and prepares the means and supports us and raises us, and our last concern at that time is the strength of our enemies and their superiority, for Allah plots against them and nullifies their schemes. And we are not at that time among those who exclude victory and see its delay to such and such of the long times.

There are some young people who have begun to straighten up after these events or are about to repent because they feel the nearness of relief. But he becomes lazy and returns to what he was if he feels that victory has its Sunnah and causes that he must take and exert effort for. So we say to him: (And whoever turns back on his heels will not harm Allah at all, and Allah will reward the grateful). (And if you turn away, He will replace a people other than you, and they will not be like you). So come! Approach and do not turn away, and make your repentance one of the causes of the victory that Allah will permit one day, and we are certain of that, and to Allah be praise..

What we need to work on is to invest these events in the spiritual charge and raising the determination for work and distinguishing between truth and its people and falsehood and its people, and supporting the oppressed as we can, with a long breath, strong determination, and high resolve. That you have a project to serve your religion with...

How? From where do I start? Can I? And by Allah, my brothers, I see with my own eyes how one can greatly influence people's love for their Lord, their glorification of Him, and their pride in their religion. We see from Allah blessings in all of this.

The beginning of all this is that a concern for your religion is cast into your heart, the awakening that has no negligence after it, you strive against yourself and your desires, and Allah guides you to the ways that lead...

In conclusion: The question: Will we pray at Al-Aqsa soon? is not a question about information we have no role in, like when a meteor will pass through the sky! But we are part of the answer.
