Freedom is to step out of the drawn paths. Do you think that walking in the drawn paths, whether it's one path or two or three, will bring you freedom? Do you think that playing within the rules of the game will bring you freedom? Revolution is not established except to change the rules of the game. We will not be satisfied with the rules of the game that have been set. We will not work within the trap, we will not work within the American box nor within the military box.
We cannot, after taking a very big lesson, be expected that every one of us from the beginning of the revolution, cannot again walk on the paths that the system we are coming out of draws for us. What do you mean by understanding that the fall of the military rule is by returning the constitution that the military placed? How can I be convinced of a need like this? How do you make me understand that if I walk on the American path or on what America will determine, who will win in the end? If I walk on the American choice, does that mean I have reached freedom? How can I be convinced of a need like this?
What are we afraid of to get out of the game completely? What are we afraid of to get out of the box? I want to tell you something very important, and everyone here knows this. If you go to look at the condition of the squares and the condition of the revolutions, you will find that there are only two types. The first type is - I do not mean any individual, but this is a mentality and a method among some - a type that considers freedom to be improving the conditions of slavery, and a type that knows that freedom is to demolish the pillars of slavery completely.
We do not want to improve the conditions of slavery at all. We want to demolish the foundations and pillars of slavery completely. We do not want to be enslaved even by 1% or 2%. We cannot afford to sacrifice blood to return again and sit at the negotiation table again and count how many states recognized the coup, how many states did not recognize it, waiting for what Obama said, what America said. Do not be obsessed with America, my friend! Do not be obsessed with America!
More than the numbers present in the streets, what? Are we presenting blood like this? Are people dying like this? And people are being arrested and chased in the streets. What is more than that? Do not declare the word of truth! Are we afraid of someone? The truth is clear. Are we afraid of the revolution, and before that, are we afraid of our religion which the religion is correct? Correct or is it possible that the religion will ever contradict the foundations of freedom, the religion will never contradict the foundations of truth.
We declare, and do not underestimate this declaration. This declaration demolishes civilizations, by Allah, it demolishes complete civilizations that we will say now: Legitimacy will remain for the principle, legitimacy for the truth, legitimacy for the method. Legitimacy never comes with millions, neither in the streets nor in the boxes. Even if it is one million, even if it is two million, even if the entire Egyptian people agree on falsehood and we remain the only ones saying the truth, we will say the truth even if we die for it, and that is sufficient honor.
The Prophet, peace be upon him, is the one who taught us this. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "The leader of the martyrs is Hamza, and a man who stood up to an oppressive ruler and ordered him and forbade him and was killed." This man did nothing but raise the value of the method. He may be alone with the ruler in a closed room, but he preferred that the method be raised above his life and became the leader of the martyrs.
Our idea is not that our bodies will win, that is not the idea. Islam never knows the struggle for survival, neither the survival of individuals nor the survival of the religion. The religion is preserved, right? And the individuals, in the Prophet, peace be upon him, were promised that this nation will never be exterminated, and this is the promise of Allah to His Prophet, so do not be afraid. Do not let the devil come to you and say, "Originally, if I die, no one will worship our Lord, so I must live." No, absolutely. Declare the truth even if all of us are in the streets. Know that your blood will nourish Islam in another land, it will nourish Islam in another land, it will nourish freedom in another land, it will nourish the truth in another land.
And by the way, when we speak in the name of the revolution, when we say revolution or when we say Islam, we do not have schizophrenia, meaning we do not have a split between the revolution and Islam. If we raise the slogan of the revolution, we have raised it for the sake of Islam, and if we raise the slogan of Islam, we have raised the slogan of the revolution. This should be clear. We are not ready to compromise ever or say the words that please people at all, and if Allah wills, nothing will please anyone at all. No one will be angry with me, I am speaking with passion, by Allah.
We will not sit and say words to win someone over. We have principles. Those who want to know the Free Movement, the Free Movement is posts, the Free Movement is statements, the Free Movement is slogans, the Free Movement is chants. The Free Movement is the words we are saying now, it is what we are ready to face our Lord, the Most High, with. We are not ready to face our Lord with any slogan that contradicts His religion or His method ever. We are not ready at all.
Because some words were said that Ahrar coordinates with so and so or Ahrar says these words to win over other factions. We do not want to win anyone over at all. Those who want to come, come under the banner of truth. Anyone who has a problem with the revolution, has a personal issue with Islam, please proceed. We did not ask anyone to come, and we know that our Lord, the Most High, is our supporter. By the way, these words are costly, and many people come and say to us, "So you have sided with someone, this way the military will devour you." And the implied meaning of these people is that the least we can rely on is our Lord, Allah forbid. It is sufficient that our Lord, the Most High, is behind us, we do not want anything else. It is sufficient that Allah, the Most High, is our supporter.
And by the way, the truth has never won by numbers. The truth wins by its strength because it is the truth and because our Lord has promised that He will make the truth victorious. Our Lord, the Most High, said: "If you support Allah," you must support our Lord first so that you can expect His victory afterwards. The last psychological meaning that people here know, and I know that people know it, but I will remind you of it.
Our Lord, the Most High, did not charge us with victory, nor did He charge us that Islam will prevail, nor did He charge us that we will establish His rule. He will not say to you: "You established His rule, why did you not win, and why did Islam not prevail?" Our Lord, the Most High, will ask you: "What did you do for the sake of victory? What did you do for the sake of empowerment?" Empowerment is the promise of our Lord. If you walk on the path of our Lord, you are always concerned, always concerned that you are walking on the right path. Do not let your concern be that you must win.
They know the concern for the goals, the concern for "I must win," the concern for "I must prevail," this has made many people exceed the method, has made many people exceed the means. Although empowerment is the promise of our Lord, it is the thing that our Lord has guaranteed. As for working for empowerment, working according to the method of our Lord, according to the principles, according to the truth, this is the thing that our Lord has charged you with. So do not be preoccupied with the thing that our Lord has guaranteed and forget the thing that He has charged you with.
