Abu Hajar Al-Kurdi
In the early hours of last week, the vile Jewish forces unleashed a barrage of bombardments upon the innocent and defenseless people at the Tabi’een School, striking them while they were performing the Fajr prayers. The ruthless assault resulted in the martyrdom of over a hundred souls, the majority of whom were innocent women and children.
The ongoing conflict and violence in Gaza have now persisted for ten months without respite. The besieged population of over two million witnesses the merciless killing of their children and the destruction of their homes, yet the World remains noticeably silent.
The Ummah has reached such a weakened state that the most despicable of nations, the «Jews,» whom no civilized society can tolerate, commit unspeakable atrocities upon the sacred lands of Islam day and night. Yet, it seems that the rest of the Ummah neither possesses the voice to condemn nor the strength to defend their land and honor by force.
Muslims have 57 sovereign states with modern armies equipped with thousands of tanks and cannons, inheritors of proud legacies of power and glory from days long past.
Why do the descendants of the Seljuks not rise in defiance? Why are the descendants of Umar ibn Al-Khattab silent? Why does the progeny of the Ottomans stand idle? And why is the mighty clash of Osman’s sword no longer heard?
Why do the armies of the Caliphate not march from their bases to defend the honor of Gaza’s oppressed people? Why is the battle cry, «Shall the faith diminish while I yet live?» not raised in fury?
Why is there no unified army formed, with its vanguard in the heart of the Islamic Caliphate and its rear guard stretching all the way to Sindh and Delhi, in order to put an end to this tyranny and injustice?
Why does the valiant army of Qadisiyyah not rise to the defense of Gaza’s oppressed?
Why? And there are a thousand more «whys,» each more piercing than the last, with no answers in sight, except that a united Ummah must rise firmly against all oppression and injustice, defending with dignity. Yet, such a prospect seems a distant hope.
