Israeli brutality in Gaza : Prayer for Gazans

On October 7th, 2023, a historical event happened in the Middle East. Hamas, the Palestinian liberation organization, conducted an operation called the Flood of Al-Aqsa in Israel. Since then, Israeli occupation forces have been carrying out massacres in Gaza on a regular basis, destroying houses, infrastructures, schools, mosques, churches, and hospitals. More than 11 thousand people, including children, women, the elderly, and unarmed individuals, have been killed so far.

The world has already noticed that the people of a Muslim country are not only expelled from their homes or confined to their own areas; instead, the oppressive Israeli forces continue to kill them openly. But the ruling class of the entire Muslim world, including Arab and non-Arab, is silent. They are so busy protecting their fame, luxury, and power, etc. By just saying a word or two about the Palestinians, they fulfilled their responsibility! Some of them even did not do that; as if they are unaware of the news of this brutal massacre!

On the other hand, the powers of disbelief are united and supporting Israel in the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. As a result, anger is growing in the hearts of common Muslims due to common reasons. Someone is disappointed as there is no solution or end to this situation!

In this situation, we also have something to think about. Before asking why our rulers do nothing, we have to think about ourselves. First of all, just as you have to reform yourself, you should also think and try to make people around you true Muslims. If I had followed Islam fully, if I had been a true Muslim, there would have been an opportunity to use our army in such a critical moment.

We observe that, in Muslim countries, Muslim forces are not being utilized in any way. Conversely, soldiers from non-Muslim countries are rushing to Israel to protect their interests and they are actively engaged worldwide. However, what are Muslim countries doing? It seems as though they lack the ability to even utter a word. Some Muslim countries possess nuclear weapons, but what role are they playing in these challenging times? I'm not suggesting they use the weapons, but their influence should make an impact. I regularly read Saudi Arabia's newspapers, being the largest country in the Middle East. When you open those magazines, it appears as if nothing significant is happening in the world. They don't openly discuss Israel's brutality. If the Al-Aqsa flood operation had not occurred, Saudi-Israeli diplomatic relations might have been exposed long ago. Everything happening in Gaza is in close proximity to Saudi Arabia, yet the Saudi Prince's attitude seems indifferent, as if nothing is affecting them. Soldiers from Muslim countries also participate in peace missions in different parts of the world, trying to pacify conflicting groups. Are they going now to stop Israeli forces from killing our Muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine?

We are also responsible for the silence of the Muslim rulers in the Muslim countries. We must also look at ourselves. We are two hundred billion Muslims in the world. What is the state of our faith? Are we able to create any effect on those in power? If our faith is strong and the majority of Muslims in the world are strong in faith, no doubt, one day the blueprints of the oppressors who are serving the infidels will collapse, they will be defeated. Then the righteous servants of Allah will run the state, and our golden past will return insha Allah.

نہ ہم بدلے نہ تم بدلے نہ دل کى آرزو بدلى

مىں کىسے آرزوئے انقلاب  آسماں کر لوں!

Neither have we changed, nor have you changed, nor have our desires changed. Yet we hope for a change in destiny. May Allah return the golden past of Muslim Ummah, have mercy upon the brothers in Palestine and grant them victory.
