Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah
A scene repeats itself, the occupation and settlers attempting to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque, and our Muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine standing up to this intrusion. Here, many wonder: why all of this? Why do our people in Palestine stand up and expose themselves to beatings, arrests, rubber bullets, and sometimes even death?
And couldn't the occupation just settle the matter, preventing all Muslim worshippers from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque, expelling those inside, arresting them, and doing as they please with Al-Aqsa Mosque?
Look, my brothers, the occupation has a final goal and interim goals. The final goal is to cause the demolition of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the establishment of their alleged Temple. Such a major move requires gradual steps:
Our people in Palestine understand this very well and know that neglecting the initial matter leads to the completion of the occupation's project and the loss of Al-Aqsa Mosque. When the Temple group announces that they will enter the courtyards of Al-Aqsa to perform Talmudic prayers, and this year they added a new matter which is the presentation of sacrifices. Our brothers know very well that if this step passes quietly, it will encourage the occupation to complete the steps of the project. Therefore, you see our brothers striving and exposing themselves to imprisonment, beatings, and sometimes even death to defend the Prophet's Mosque, peace be upon him.
Well, can't the occupation settle the matter? How? By preventing the entry of any new numbers and forcing the steadfast ones in Al-Aqsa to leave by force, whatever the cost in terms of injury and bloodshed.
In reality, my brothers, it is not that simple. The occupation has other projects besides Al-Aqsa. It seeks to open the region to itself and to be accepted by the peoples. It seeks to destroy the economies of the surrounding countries and conclude deals with their governments, through which it receives huge sums of money from the peoples's money, impoverishes the Muslim peoples, and humiliates them, and puts an end to agricultural, animal, and industrial projects, so that the sons of the region become slaves to the occupation and its agents, and it roams and enjoys without much resistance.
The occupation is keen to gain a false legitimacy, because if it imposes its agenda by force all the time, it will ignite a state of boiling against it, threaten the safe environment in which it enjoys, and increase the fall of its agents and patrons from the eyes of the Muslim peoples when they see that these agents have no work except to protect the occupation and enable it to take over the wealth and necks of the Muslims, so that if the son of the seller opens his mouth, it is of no use to him one day, they will be told: your father bought, and received the price, and you enjoyed the money, so be silent.
Similarly, in the case of Al-Aqsa, the occupation hopes that the Muslims will seek refuge, get tired, surrender, and be exhausted from the abundance of wounds, imprisonment, impoverishment, and even systematic killing.
And indeed, my brothers, if this had befallen any other people of the Muslim nations, perhaps they would have surrendered a long time ago, sold the lands a long time ago, and demolished Al-Aqsa a long time ago. But glory be to Allah, you see in this blessed land a noble, courageous people who honor the rites of Allah, a people who are helpless, besieged by the occupation, and yet stand alone in defending Al-Aqsa amidst peoples who celebrate their independence day every year. The people of Palestine are a noble, generous people, despite the numerous blows that stab them in the back from the patrons of the occupation and its agents inside and outside.
The occupation does not want to use force all the time in implementing its agendas so as not to lose global support for it. It is keen to give the conspirators in the international system an excuse before their peoples to continue supporting the occupation and providing it with legal cover and weapons.
The occupation, my dear, is more cowardly than many imagine and weaker than many imagine, and this was evident just over a year ago during the last Ramadan, when the entity of the occupation was shaken and shaken by simple rockets.
Well, in the face of all this, what is required of us as Muslims? If the occupation advances a step and sees apathy in the nation and everyone is preoccupied with himself and his worries, this will encourage it to deal alone with our people in Palestine, suppress them, and proceed with the project of destroying Al-Aqsa. Igniting the issue and talking about it makes the occupation shrink and delay, perhaps Allah will bring a matter from Himself before these people achieve what they wanted.
And remember again that the issue is not Al-Aqsa alone, but the enslavement and humiliation of Muslims are among the goals of the occupation as we mentioned.
It is required, my dear, to expose the traitors who support the occupation and point the finger of accusation at them. Do not let the positions of those who rush to normalize with the occupation and open horizons for it and run to please it pass without comment and condemnation, for it means to your enemies that you are ready and ready for more humiliation.
And for those who say: Well, brother, let them pray in Al-Aqsa and build the Temple and we are done with this story, what does it mean if this happens? I say to him: Weep for yourself, for your heart has died, and your enemies have taken your dignity and subdued you. If this feeling comes to you, then be silent and cover your heart that does not honor the rites of Allah and what Allah has honored.
That, and whoever honors the rites of Allah, they are from the piety of the hearts. And remember the saying of Ibn Al-Qayyim about those who say this statement: "And what religion and what good is there in one who sees the prohibitions of Allah being violated and his borders being transgressed, and his religion is left and the Sunnah of his Prophet, peace be upon him, is desired from him, and he is cold-hearted, silent-tongued, a devil who is dumb, just as the speaker of falsehood is a devil who speaks".
We ask Allah to preserve Al-Aqsa Mosque, support our steadfast brothers in it, and make for them, for us, and for the nation of Islam, a near relief and an exit.
Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.
