This speech covers a very important concept at this time. Watch it with reflection, as it provides you with the necessary arguments in discussion and helps you to be a cause for security and safety.
Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Security and safety in the lands of Muslims is a red line, and we must not allow anyone to tamper with it under any pretext. Let us see how we can protect our countries and achieve security from the words of our Lord, the most truthful of speakers and the most just of rulers.
Allah the Almighty says: {Those who believe and do not mix their faith with injustice, those are the ones who will have security, and they are the guided ones} (6:82). Injustice here is shirk, as defined by our Prophet peace be upon him. One of its clearest forms is "the partnership of obedience"; obeying someone in disobedience to Allah, as if your benefit and harm, sustenance, and life are in their hands. Rather, absolute obedience is to Allah the Almighty, and there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator. If we want security, we must obey Allah the Almighty with absolute obedience.
What does Allah command us? He commands us to support the believers. Support means: aid, love, and backing. If a believer is attacked, it is the duty of the believers to come to their aid, rescue them, and support them. Allah the Almighty says: {And if they seek help of you for the religion, then you must help} (8:72), and this is about people who were limited and did not migrate when migration was obligatory, yet Allah made their support in religion obligatory.
And Allah the Almighty says: {And those who disbelieve are allies of one another. If you do not do so, there will be fitnah on earth and great corruption} (8:73). You see the disbelievers supporting one another, so you, O believers, must support one another. If you do not, the inevitable result is fitnah and great corruption; among which is the loss of your countries, security, and safety, the violation of sanctities, the killing of souls, and the violation of honor. All of this is the consequence of neglecting the duty of supporting your brothers.
Allah the Almighty says: {O you who have believed, what is it with you that, when it is said to you, "Go forth in the cause of Allah," you adhere heavily to the earth? Have you preferred the worldly life over the Hereafter? But what is the enjoyment of the worldly life compared to the Hereafter except a [very] little. If you do not go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment and will replace you with another people; and you will not harm Him at all} (9:38-39).
The One who threatens us is the Lord of Honor, the Most High, who says, provoking us to support the oppressed: {And what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah and [for] the oppressed among men, women, and children who say, "Our Lord, take us out of this city of oppressive people and appoint for us from Yourself a protector and appoint for us from Yourself a helper?} (4:75). Any society that wants security must support its brothers, otherwise we will say: "The white bull was eaten up."
The forces of disbelief have dropped all masks, violated all prohibitions, cast aside all covenants, and openly declared their enmity without any hesitation. If they test our patience in Palestine; they bomb our mosques, destroy our hospitals, burn our children, and tear our elders to pieces, and then see us not supporting them, what can prevent them from violating the lands of the Muslims piece by piece?
Our Prophet peace be upon him said: "The blood of the Muslims is one, and they are like one hand against others." There is no blood more precious than another, and borders are mere dirt with no value, {Indeed, this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear Me} (23:52). Our Prophet peace be upon him said to the Ansar: "Blood for blood, and destruction for destruction," meaning if your blood is sought, then my blood is sought, and if your blood is spilled, then my blood is spilled; to strengthen the bond and brotherhood between us. Then he said: "I am from you and you are from me, I fight those whom you fight and make peace with those with whom you make peace."
This is the relationship between believers; our blood is their blood, and our destruction is their destruction. The lines drawn by the occupier on the map have no value, and giving them value is a denial of Allah and His Messenger. The borders must be erased from our minds and uprooted from our hearts. This is the precious security that noble souls dream of; security for us as Muslims as one bloc, so that even if we suffer for it, we will be at ease, then we will triumph together and achieve glory together, not the "security of sheep" that sees the wolf attacking one of them and flees to remain grazing in the grass.
Let me ask you, O Muslim: if the enemies of Allah occupied part of your country and began to oppress its people, and said to the rest of the people of the country: "There is no problem between us and you, you are safe, and these are the new borders," would you consider your silence and watching the killing of your brothers wisdom and foresight?
If you accept "normalization" with the borders between Muslim countries, you will accept this normalization within the same country tomorrow. When we support our brothers in Palestine, it is not because they are another friendly people, but because they are from us and within us.
If a Muslim thinks that his country will not be exposed to aggression due to "negotiations" and obedience to other than Allah the Almighty, this is having evil thoughts about Allah. Allah the Almighty says: {Those before them did plot, but Allah came at their building from the foundations, and the roof fell upon them from above them, and the punishment came to them whence they knew not} (16:26).
A great and terrifying verse; people who fortified themselves in a fortress and thought they were safe, so Allah moved the foundations of their building, the roof collapsed upon them, and the punishment came to them suddenly. Whoever thinks that security is achieved through disobedience to Allah, this is having evil thoughts about Allah.
Security is achieved through obedience to Allah and supporting Muslims among themselves. Whoever does not do so while being able, let him wait for the supplications of the oppressed and persecuted to be answered against him. The slogan of this stage should be the words of our Prophet peace be upon him: "Know Allah in prosperity and He will know you in adversity."
Any call that divides Muslims is an evil call. The Prophet peace be upon him said: "Allah has removed from you the arrogance of the days of ignorance and its boasting about ancestors. You are all the children of Adam, and Adam was created from dust."
The lands of the Muslims are one, their security is a red line, and there is no security or safety except through obedience to Allah, supporting the believers, and supporting one another.
Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.
