Lessons taken from Operation al-Aqsa Flood

After half a year of genocide, here are some key points that must not get lost in the grand scheme of things

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. I send blessings and peace upon the best of prophets and messengers, Muhammad ﷺ.

How true is the Promise of Allah?

The fulfilment of Allah’s Promise is clear, foretelling the ever-growing alliance and deceitful ploys of those hostile disbelievers against Muslims in all circumstances, emphasising their never-ending enmity towards us.

Muslims should establish allegiance towards their dīn and their brothers, becoming one unified body in the face of their enemies.

Muslims do not have human rights

All that the world claims about human rights and the flashy slogans displayed have proven to be complete lies, revealing double standards.

Muslims are not considered human enough for basic rights according to Western standards.

This is evident in the silence, despite the majority of those killed in Gaza being women and children. 

Manipulation of some Arab states

Another important lesson is that the enemy was able to manipulate certain Arab regimes to its advantage, turning them into guardians and protectors of its borders.

Even worse, these regimes now play a role in preventing food, drink, and medicine from reaching the people of Gaza, thereby completely besieging them.

Furthermore, this war is revealing facts about the nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. 

Many “knowledgeable” individuals stand in the ranks of the enemy, not fully grasping the historical context of this war. They defend the enemy while remaining ignorant of certain facts.

Palestinian conflict is a religious war

This is a religious war that has been ongoing for decades, and Gazans are fighting out of self-defence, not desire of conquest. They have been under siege for decades, and this is just a segment of the years of warfare.

We have also witnessed the sheer strength of faith and steadfastness from the Gazans over the last few months.

Despite not being associated with any sect, movement, or ideology, they have shown resilience, patience, and resolve while under complete bombardment for the last six months.

This indicates that there is still goodness in this Ummah. 

This is a massacre against all Muslims

This genocidal onslaught is not restricted to Hamas or any particular faction in Gaza.

Rather, it is a massacre against all Muslims, who are the representatives of the Gaza Strip and its residents.

The inhabitants of the Gaza Strip have proven themselves to Allah through their resolve and forbearance. This has been the default response to the endless bombing and massacres.

I ask Allah to grant us the ability to do good and to keep us steadfast upon the truth.

I send blessings and peace upon the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

    Off course this is a religious war

    The Zionists are brainwashed into believing that the land of Palestine are their ‘birth right’

    The evangelical Christians of USA are helping the Zionists because they believe that once the Jews control whole of Palestine then Jesus will return again.

    Netanyahu is quoting religious texts of Amalek ( https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/premier-netanyahu-continues-to-use-scriptures-to-defend-israeli-war-on-gaza/3042801 )

    “This is a religious war that has been ongoing for decades“

    I don’t know if this is a typo or not. There is no indication that this is a religious war, the people who are fighting are not trying to eradicate a religion, but an ethnic people.

    Calling it religious will make it seem that this is a war between Muslims and Jews.

      The holy Qu’ran states that in fact there is an ongoing spiritual and physical war between the Muslims and the false religions, and those who don’t know this have sadly been lied to about their religion.
