Every knowledgeable, reasonable Muslim can affirm that the Ummah faces, in these pressing times in its history, a long and brutal battle with its enemies – and the worst of these enemies, being the Jews (note: Jews here refers to Zionist Jews). They can also recognise that the Ummah today is being confronted with violent Jewish attacks and a huge, far-reaching invasion, and that the leaders of the Ummah such as the rulers and politicians are doing nothing to charge the power within the Ummah or maximise its potential to stand against this great challenge. Rather, they have been allies to the Jews in executing their plots and matierialising their attacks, and further aided the Ummah to become weak and submissive to the Jews. The poet Omar Abu Reesha described accurately the condition of these leaders in his words:
لا يلام الذئب على عدوانه
إن يكُ الراعي عدو الغنم
“The wolf is not to be blamed for its assault, if the shepherd is the enemy of his herd.”
They are aware of the battle, yet they neglect it
In addition, every well-informed Muslim understands that the Jews, in this stage of their offensive to the Ummah, have come a long way in implementing their plans, and that they have achieved much of what they wanted, and that they are proceeding hastily to complete all of their projects and schemes and plots to take control of the region and to subjugate the world to a Jewish dominance. All open-minded Muslims concede to these realities and agree in consensus to these events.
Meanwhile, we find vast areas within the Ummah turning a blind eye to this matter and do not comprehend the reality of the battle with the Jews, and do not fathom the danger of a Jewish invasion. These nations, which are home to millions, are naive and heedless when it comes to this matter, and they submit to the cruel schemes and conspiracies crafted by the Jews. They are ‘busy’ with their desires and personal interests and are satisfied being subservient victims, and the ‘guinea pigs’ to the offensive Jewish project.
The trap that allows the Jews to enforce their plots
As for the greatest plot being played out among millions of ignorant people, and which is used to promote and market a Jewish invasion, it is a trick that has become a means to seizing the Ummah and it is made up of fabricators and liars: the ones who plot and the ones who execute the plots, as well as journalists and diplomats, the rulers and politicians, the analysts and authors, the public figures and spokespersons – all of these people are marketing the Jewish product, the product of the enemies of the Ummah and their allies. If this tactic is successful in governing the Ummah, then the tragedy will be tremendous and the conspiracy will be the most bleak and the battle the most violent, and the responsibility will be enormous.
A knowledgeable minority keeps the Ummah stable
Those who work to strengthen the Ummah in the face of the Jewish threat, and to protect it from Jewish corruption, and those who strive to prepare, train and equip the Ummah to stand against their attacks; they are only a group small in number, yet great in impact and mighty in influence. This is consistently the nature of the soldiers of truth, as Allah Almighty says:
وَقَلِيلٌۭ مِّنْ عِبَادِىَ ٱلشَّكُورُ
˹Only˺ a few of My servants are ˹truly˺ grateful.
(Surah Saba: 13)
This small group with great awareness is what carries the burden of the Muslims and respects the responsibility entrusted to them. They endeavour to awaken the Muslim Ummah, and open its eyes to the imminent danger and, in addition, strive to prepare, educate and empower it to uphold its jihad responsibility in the future.
They are a small, powerful group
This small, resisting group fulfils the greatest obligation, and carries the greatest message. They represent the bright and beaming stars in the Ummah’s dark night, and the aspired hope for this Ummah. They are the ones planting the seeds of hope, so that they may flourish and prosper in due time and sprout into seedlings of truth to then produce fruits of the change which is anticipated in the future.
This small, knowledgeable, mujahid, group invests in this hefty mission all that they have been given by Allah (swt); from wealth and time, effort and energy, thought and awareness, hearts, minds and nerves, days, months and years, as well as their hopes and dreams and aspirations.
The following words of poetry applies perfectly to this valiant group:
ذو العقل يشقى في الوجود بعقله
وأخو الجهالة في الجهالة ينعم
The wise man suffers although he has intellect,
and the ignorant man enjoys his ignorance.
It is as if this minority – who strives and is charged with responsibility, action and resistance –
addresses the idle, careless Ummah in the words of this poet:
اتعجبين من سقمي
صحتي هي العجب
تضحكين لاهية
والحب ينتحب
You are perplexed by my illness,
whereas it is my health which is unusual.
You laugh, distracted,
while the beloved is crying.
They are aware of the danger
The Jewish enemies, as well as their friends and allies, in all their malice and hatred are fully aware of the danger which this brave group poses to their projects and plans for taking over the region. And they know that none other than this small group stands in their way, and that nothing protects the Ummah other than this resisting group, and none other than them will expose the Zionist’s faults and stand firm in their opposition. They are fully aware that this small group is the only force empowering the Ummah and having a true impact.
Consequently, the Jewish enemies and their allies strive to destroy and eliminate this group so that the clear the way for themselves so that they can execute their plots.
However, this faithful, resisting, courageous group are aware of this reality and comprehend the extent of threat this battle poses, and they know what they are in for and understand the dangers involved. Yet, despite being fully aware of the dangers, these people are not afraid of the great sacrifices they must make or the hefty price they must pay.
This minority of faithful, aware, educated people know their path, and the harshness, hardship and ruggedness of their journey in all that it requires of energy and exertion and sacrifice, as well as the pain and suffering that it may produce. They also know, however, the end of this path which is certain and guaranteed, where they will achieve victory and success; and it is this reality which strengthens them so that they may endure the high price they will pay for the sake of the joyful outcome they have aspired for.
The minority have accepted the challenge
This minority of faithful people accept the challenge and are willing to confront the Jews and enter the battlefield against them. They are satisfied with this challenge as they are connected to the rope of Allah (swt), fully reliant on Him, certain of His victory and content with the destiny that Allah (swt) has decreed for this great mission. They have faith in the promise of Allah (swt) and yearn to achieve Allah’s pleasure. These individuals are equipped with the weapon of faith, certainty, awareness and foresight, patience, jihad, and steadfastness.
This resisting minority are firm in the midst of hesitant people, patient among all those who are fearful, brave among the cowards, awake amid those who are sleeping, aware amid the naive, knowledgeable amid the deceived, guided among the lost, at peace among the frustrated, certain among the doubtful, resisting among the complacent. They enter this battle with this kind of intention, this determination, this passion and this confidence.
In understanding such people, the following words of poetry apply:
وقفتَ وما في الموتِ شكٌ لواقفٍ
كأنَّكَ في جفن الرَدى وهُوَ نائم
ُتَمُرُّ بِكَ الأبْطَالُ كَلْمَى هزيمةً
ووَجهُكَ وضَّاحٌ وثغرُكَ باسِم
You stand facing certain death,
as if you are in the eyelid of death while it is asleep.
Even warriors find miserable defeat through you,
while your face is beaming and your mouth smiling.
Another piece of poetry represents this minority in its brave resistance:
سأحمِلُ روحي على راحَتي
.وألقِي بها في مهاوي الرَدى
فإما حياةٌ تسُّرُ الصديق
.وإما مماتٌ يَغيظُ العدى
ومالعيشُ لا عشتُ إن لم أكُن
.مهوبَ الجنابِ حرامَ الحِمى
لَعَمرُكَ إنِّي أرى مصرَعي
.ولكن أغُذُّ إليهَ الخطى
أرى مقتلي دون حقي السليب
.ودونَ بِلادي هُوَ المُبتغى
لعمرك هذا مماتُ الرجال
.فمن رامَ موتاً شَريفاً فَذَا
I shall carry my soul in the palm of my hand,
and hurl it down the abyss of demise.
For I choose either a life which pleases my friend,
or a death which enrages my enemy.
And what is life? I have not lived if I was not,
someone who is feared and dignified.
I swear I can see my end here,
yet I tread willingly towards it.
I see my killing for the sake of my usurped rights,
and for the sake of my land, my ultimate ambition.
I swear this is the death of a real man,
for whoever seeks an honourable death, it is this.
Become one of them
We call on all those who want to see change, are serious in seeking reform, have faith and awareness, determination and bravery, courage and certainty, to become part of this minority of faithful, brave individuals. We urge people to stop chasing the mirage, to reject illusions and falsehoods and to not be deceived by the psychological products marketed to the Muslim market by the Jews. We call on you to remove all doubt and hesitation, and to embark on the only guaranteed journey, the path of jihad, the path of challenge and confrontation, the path of resistance and to rise above all obstacles and temptations:
هي العنقاء تأبى أن تصادا
فعاند من تطيق له عنادا
The phoenix refuses to be hunted,
so resist against whoever you can resist.
We say to those who are hesitant, lost, scared: make your stand among this resisting group of people, do not hold back because of the great consequences and the hefty price. For this is the only path that is fitting for a faithful believer, and a courageous man.
تهونُ علينا في المعالي نفوسُنا
ومَن يخطِبِ الحسناءَ لم يُغلِهِ المهرُ
Our souls become significant in return for great things,
for whoever marries the most beautiful woman would never find her dowry too costly.
Know that if you choose to stay hesitant, reluctant, afraid; that the caravan of truth will take off without you, and the mission will be accomplished by someone else. Do not wake up to the truth when it is too late, because the train will leave you behind, or you will not find any space on it therein once people have made it on before you and secured their seats.
وَإِن تَتَوَلَّوْا۟ يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُونُوٓا۟ أَمْثَـٰلَكُم
If you ˹still˺ turn away, He will replace you with another people. And they will not be like you.
(Surah Muhammad:38)
Let us be the causes of victory
The religion of Allah (swt) will triumph, with us or without us, so why then should it not be us to become the soldiers of this victory? Truth will prevail, through us or through others, so why should it not be us who bear its flag? And oppression shall certainly perish by the will of Allah (swt), with or without our efforts, so why should we not initiate its downfall?
Let us strive to be the carriers of Allah’s will, so that He may use us as the means to implement His decree and awaken the Ummah through us. And let it be us through whom Allah (swt) will give victory to the truth and abolishes falsehood and oppression. Let us strive to become the means to all of this, and the Most Powerful and Capable and the One Who decrees remains Allah (swt).
Entering the battlefield with the weapon of Qur’an
To those steadfast, patient, faithful people of resistance, we say: enter the inevitable battle with the Jews, armed with the weapon of Qur’an, finding guidance through it and accepting its realities with faith and certainty.
The Jews are full of faults, and the Qur’an has exposed them. They are a people of falsehood, they embody all immoral and corrupt traits as presented in the Qur’an. The Jews are conspiring enemies, and the Qur’an has described them to us, so take these lessons.
