Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.
Dear brothers, these words are to praise Allah for the honor He has bestowed upon the Muslims in this round of the battle in Palestine. Then, we will explain the necessity of action thereafter.
Many Muslims used to read the Quran, and when they came across verses of Allah's victory for the believers, they would ask themselves: In an era of airplanes, arsenals, and the immense military superiority of our enemies? What we witnessed in recent days came as a spiritual aid that restores certainty to many skeptics.
Events were heading towards more despair, betrayals, concessions. Enemies of Islam, both internally and externally, were implementing their agendas step by step at an accelerating pace. Then came this breath of victory to revive hope and teach Muslims that Allah is surrounding their enemies.
Muslims have learned that the usurping entity is nothing, an inflated, puffed-up entity. Were it not for betrayal and our weakness, the matter of its demise would be much easier than it appears. This entity has been humiliated and disgraced in the eyes of all people, and Allah has healed the hearts of believing people with this. The claims and iron powers and intelligence agencies have collapsed, and even the ministers of the entity are directing severe criticism at the army.
With the fall of the usurping entity's prestige, the masks of those who protect and guard it under the pretext of the imbalance of forces have fallen. Netanyahu, it seems, wanted to gain the votes of the right, as is said, by violating the sanctity of Al-Aqsa, but he settled in the Muslims' neighborhood and did not count on them, so it backfired on him.
The jihad that the tyrants have long worked to defame, criminalize, and turn people away from, now Muslims are talking about it, demanding it, and knowing that it is the path to victory. The people of Palestine have written in days lessons that would take years in faith, sacrifice, patience, contentment, honor, dignity, the glorification of sanctities, the readiness for martyrdom, and the expenditure of the valuable and the cheap for the sake of Allah the Almighty.
This breath of victory has come to restore to us the certainty that we can do much, and that we are not helpless failures as has been ingrained in us over decades. It was planned that the Zionists would roam here and drink the hookah there, and entire tourist cities would be built for them in the lands of the Muslims, and the Muslims would become servants and workers for them.
Now these projects have faltered, and the acceleration of their implementation has stopped, and the writers have fallen silent, hiding in their holes, after one of them expected to be pelted with shoes from every direction. And for this, Allah created us for the struggle between truth and falsehood, and may Allah choose from the believers in this struggle.
Those who always think that there is no use in trying to repel aggression have the right to stand with these benefits to reconsider their calculations.
Those who won this round are the steadfast in Al-Aqsa, then those who supported them throughout Palestine, including the Muslims of the eight and forty who surprised everyone, then the honorable, heroic people of Gaza, and then those who stood with them from the general Muslims with support, solidarity, supplication, sympathy, and media victory.
The steadfastness of the people of Gaza had a significant impact. The Zionists were counting on inciting the people of Gaza against their Mujahideen, so they level the residential complexes to the ground and drop tons of rockets, saying to the people of Gaza: What have these people brought you except destruction? Wouldn't it be better for you to live in safety and wealth? The people of Gaza's disregard for all this, but their patience and their accounting for the reward made a significant difference. Therefore, we say for all this: To You, O Allah, be the praise. And it is right for us to rejoice.
After this, dear ones, what has happened is merely a setback to the enemy in one round, not the anticipated great victory. Al-Aqsa is still occupied, and the Muslims' land in Palestine is still occupied, and the Muslim nations are still subservient, not free from subjugation to other than Allah.
What has happened is a historical opportunity. All effort now must be directed towards investing in it, not just celebrating it, otherwise, the joy may turn into sorrow. The enemies of the Muslims are very good at healing their wounds and exploiting events for their benefit again, and they have ready alternative plans.
What has happened is like Muslims in a big prison who have dealt a blow to their jailers, telling the Muslim nations: Behold, we have proven to you how weak and cowardly these jailers are, so come, continue, and complete the path of victory.
The role of Muslim nations now. International deception is in full swing, everyone is trying to exploit the event for their benefit. America wants to send a message to the entity about its need for it. Regional powers with agendas want to stamp the victory with their stamp and imprint it with their mark, claiming that the victory was for the faction they present or the weapon that allows its smuggling, to steal the joy of victory from the hearts, although it was and still is a war on Islam and Muslims.
There are proposals for settlement solutions to kill the fruit that has ripened in the shadow of events. And it is expected that the spotlight will be placed on the aspect of human suffering in Gaza to push for any mitigating solution. And there are those who exploit even the sympathy of Muslims to convince the world powers of their need for him to curb the peoples and prevent them from devouring the usurping entity.
In the face of all this, dear ones, in the face of everyone's attempt to exploit the event, it is not at all appropriate for us to be content with celebration and for us Muslims to be the most heedless of investing in the event, and then expect that Allah will grant us victory. The cunning of our enemies is ongoing, so we have no one but Allah to scheme for us.
We need to realize our dire need for Allah so that we do not lose the opportunity and the joy turns into sorrow. Our brothers in Al-Aqsa and Gaza need our continuous support, to be a support and a back for them so that they do not need anyone other than us, the owners of evil agendas, and so that they do not weaken in the face of pressures.
This is very important. We know that there are regional projects to combat the people of the Sunnah who want to exploit this breath of victory to beautify their image. Our joy in what is happening in Gaza does not mean accepting what we sometimes hear of praise for this side or raising the pictures of its symbols who have delved into the blood of the people of the Sunnah in Syria and Iraq.
Our speech today is about a battle that was launched for a legitimate reason of supporting Muslims and their sanctities and with clear, legitimate ideological motives. This breath of victory and honor is, in reality, for the steadfast and those who supported them, then for the people of Gaza and their preparation, steadfastness, and faith in what we count them, and for the flame of many of the nation with them, which would extinguish its radiance and tarnish its effect. Any statement attributing merit to any poisoned hand is rejected and unacceptable. And we consider that the heroes of Gaza themselves do not rest easy with it.
And Muslims in Gaza and their leaders should be asked to beware of any concession at the expense of creed. At the same time, the eyes are turned to us, and the responsibility falls on us, Muslims, to support our brothers in Gaza and the rest of Palestine and embrace them with what we can to spare them from those poisoned hands.
Many Muslims have gotten used to being moved by fleeting emotions and then returning to their old ways. This time, we need the event to be a profound and deep lesson that we do not forget, but rather utilize day by day.
Question: And what can we do? This question no longer has a place. This is what the heroes of Gaza have done in days they had been preparing for years. For years, they suffered under a suffocating siege from all sides, digging tunnels with effort and hardship underground to bring in food, medicine, children's milk, and whatever they could to repel the aggression. The tunnels were filled in on them, exploded on them, and sewage water was pumped into them. They are indeed people in a large prison, and yet they continued and did not despair. And this is what we saw in days they had been preparing for over a long period. Thus, we learned that you must work and Allah the Almighty blesses the little and gives you the opportunity at the right time.
We need each of us to work now to be an element in the great victory that will come on the day that Allah the Almighty wills. To educate ourselves faithfully, scientifically, and pedagogically, charged with the great faith positions we have seen from our people in Palestine. To ask ourselves: Are we in their faith and their readiness for sacrifice? For each of us to adopt a partial project, an obligation from the collective duties that is a brick in the project of the great liberation. Focus on it, with your eye on the great goal, approaching Allah seeking the reward, knowing that Allah does not waste the reward of the good-doers.
"And those who strive for Us - We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the good-doers." Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
