It is not strange to see Western powers siding with the murderous occupiers. Nor is it strange that they look at our tragedies and wounds with a blind eye. They stand indifferent to the severe destruction, killing of children, and the genocide that is taking place in Gaza, that is despite it being well documented in the media.
All of this is not strange to those who are familiar with the path of criminals illustrated by not only the Qur’an, but also human history, and in today's reality.
However this may be strange to those who regard the West as the perfect model, and those whose ultimate wish is to study in their country, adopt their culture and emulate their civilization.

The issue today is a deep-rooted issue. It must arouse within us a sense of chauvinism towards our faith, reshape the awareness of those among us who are deep in their sleep. And most importantly it must have an impact on the true return to God Almighty, and the abandoning of the paths of heedlessness and triviality that squander our lives. This should be followed by taking initiatives towards the aiding of Muslims and Islam.
Whoever is not awakened by the pain and tragedies, and by the enemies’ attacks today, might never wake up after that, except tomorrow in his grave: (You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover, so your sight, this Day, is sharp)

Some undermine the Gaza issue, perhaps driven by anger, belittling media, moral, financial contributions, supplications, and more that most cannot offer.
By calling for radical solutions beyond the means of those wanting to support their brethren with limited resources, frustration ensues. They witness their brothers' suffering, unable to present fundamental solutions, and their efforts are undermined.

In reality, these efforts, dismissed by some, significantly impact the situation. The enemy values and fiercely combats them, despite their massive military machinery.

In conclusion: Do not underestimate anything you can contribute; the field is vast. The Prophet ﷺ urged his companions to give, even if it's a half-date, upon seeing the dire need of those who came to him in extreme poverty.

Someone wrote, asking:

"By Allah, Ahmed, I won't lie to you. When I see videos of children being killed and cut in Palestine, I recall Quranic verses and hadiths about Allah answering the prayers of the oppressed, even if they are non-believers. So what about a Muslim believer and a child? I get intrusive thoughts, wondering where is Allah's protection and support?"

The response:

To counter such doubts, I say:
1- Allah, as He clarified, answers prayers but also decrees trials. Entering paradise involves facing such tribulations: "Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you?" So, don't focus only on the first part and neglect the second.

2- Allah, in His book, narrated stories similar to what is happening in Gaza, or even worse. For example, about Pharaoh: "Slaughtering their [the believers'] sons and keeping their females alive." Then, Allah showed that these oppressed ones were granted victory later: "And We made the oppressed people inherit the eastern regions of the land and the western ones." The story doesn't conclude from the beginning; the complete picture unfolds at the end.

3- Allah made it clear that He gives respite to the wrongdoers, then seizes them. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stated: "Indeed, Allah gives respite to the wrongdoer." The situation has two sides: the oppressed and the oppressor. The scene isn't complete without seeing both sides. God's usual way is not to immediately punish the criminals but to leave them, lure them, and then seize them.

4- Allah's support for believers isn't only victory but also includes strengthening hearts and sending tranquility: "When your Lord inspired to the angels, 'I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed.'" We witness this in Gaza and other places where believers endure hardships that humans can barely bear, while non-believers collapse under much less.

5- Allah informed us extensively in His book about the consequences in the hereafter. This world is transient, and the balances of justice will be set on the Day of Judgment. No one will be wronged then. He told us about the fire, punishment, and retribution for the wrongdoers. Looking at the world with one eye won't provide a complete understanding.

6- Despite all this, there is no doubt that the ultimate fate (in this world) for the righteous, when they uphold their faith and support it, is in line with Allah's promise. He will support His soldiers and save them, as He did with Noah, Abraham, Saleh, Hud, Lot, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them all). It's not exclusive to them; it's a continuous promise and a constant practice, after examination and trials.

The most important chapters we turn to and draw inspiration from in times of hardship, such as the Gaza crisis and similar challenges, are verses 121 to 179 of Surah Al Imran. I have previously delved into these verses, reflecting on the wisdom behind trials and tribulations that Allah decrees for the people of truth. It explores how Allah, in His wisdom, shapes and mends their souls through these verses. You can find more about this through the following link.

Blocking humanitarian aid from entering #Gaza is as much a crime as bombing homes and harming children. This act will be remembered by the Ummah as an unforgettable addition to the occupiers' list of crimes. Every organization with the ability to offer aid to Gaza should make efforts to do so

The experience of hunger, during the enemy siege was a trial for the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ on the day of the confederates (Al_Ahzab). He had to tie a stone to his stomach due to the lack of food. This incident exemplifies Allahs words; "And We will surely test you with fear and hunger and a loss of wealth lives and crops but give tidings to the patient."

Reflecting on the difficulties faced by our brothers in Gaza and recalling how Prophet Muhammad ﷺ coped with hardships can provide us with strength. He serves as our role model not during times of adversity but in times of prosperity both in ease and hardship. Those who deeply ponder over revelations seeking guidance will find enlightenment throughout their journey and trials.

As for those who betray our people, in Gaza despite having means it is certain that Allahs abandonment of them is imminent and significant.

Certainly we can observe the truths of the Quran being reflected in the Gaza war. Here are some notable points;

1. The Quran accurately describes the occupying people as hostile, towards believers evident in their hatred and aggression that surpasses what is typically seen in warfare.

2. The Quranic statement about them "fighting from cities or behind walls" holds true as they cowardly target civilians from a distance and use barriers for protection.

3. The believers face trials and increased hardships as mentioned when it questions whether they think they will enter Paradise without Allah making clear those who strive for His cause and those who demonstrate patience.

4. We can witness how Allah remains with the believers giving them steadfastness of heart and unity which's evident in the resilience displayed by individuals in Gaza despite facing severe challenges.

5. The Qurans assertion that "often a small group can overcome an one, with Allahs permission" is being witnessed during the days of this conflict.

6. It is unfortunate to see hypocrites emerging during crises blaming Muslims showing signs of fear and betrayal. Something that Surah Al Imran, Al Ahzab and Al Fath highlight.

7.Differentiating between the righteous and the wicked as Allah has said; "Allah will not abandon the believers in their state until He separates the evil from the good."

8. The words of Allah, about some individuals supporting others in the unity and cooperation among occupying forces against the followers of Hanifi religion.

9. The declaration of Allah "If you suffer they suffer just as you do " can be seen through their expressions and statements during this conflict.

10. Allah promise to establish those who have faith with unwavering strength in both this life and the Hereafter is manifested through their resilience in times of adversity and enemy attacks.



These are ten insights. As time goes on more truths may become apparent. Let us show our support, for Gaza by standing.

A lot of the awareness and wakefulness that the Ummah was missing has been realised in the past few days with the crimes of the occupation and the support of the western powers.

Many of the corruptive projects targeted at the Youth of the Ummah went back many years.

And a lot of the deceiving falsity has been exposed.

Allah’s Will always prevails, but most people do not know

In the face of these painful events and horrifying massacres in Gaza, we immediately turn to reflect on similar situations narrated in the Quran, seeking guidance from Allah's wisdom for believers facing such trials. One significant event mentioned is the Battle of Uhud during the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, where despite immense suffering, the believers found solace in divine teachings.

The aftermath of Uhud was a profound test for the companions, witnessing the Prophet's anguish and facing false rumors of his death. Allah's guidance in such tribulations includes reflection on the patterns of past nations, understanding the divine wisdom behind trials, purification of believers' hearts, and the importance of not succumbing to despair.

The believers are advised to emulate the steadfastness of past prophets and their companions in times of hardship, maintaining pride in their faith, and believing in the divine decree. The emphasis is on patience, resilience, and maintaining a positive outlook, trusting that Allah's plan unfolds according to His wisdom.

These divine instructions, found in Surah Al-Imran, offer profound insights for believers enduring the distressing events in Gaza, Syria, and elsewhere. The guidance from the Quran serves as a source of healing, guidance, illumination, strength, honor, and blessings for those grappling with the pain and hoping for a better future.

[They never lost heart for that which did befall them in Allah's Way, nor did they weaken nor degrade themselves. And Allah loves As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.]

Optimism and having full trust in Allah in these events are very important religious principles, but:
- When a person becomes attached to incorrect means, such as hoping for support from those known for their consistent betrayal of Muslims and their hastening to aid enemies of Islam,
- Failing to consider divine laws,
- Thinking that all obstacles will suddenly be lifted,
- Believing that empowerment for the Ummah will happen within days or weeks;
= This may lead to a psychological setback, and perhaps a crisis of faith, after experiencing the euphoria of beginnings, as we have seen in the last decade.
