Islam : The Truth

#Question:

What is the way to proceed regarding
the Palestinian issue, which has, as the days pass,
escalated in terms of complexity and violence?


#Response:

Certainly, the Muslim(s) feel much pain
and great sadness at the deteriorating situation in
Palestine, with matters going from bad to worse,
escalating in complexity as the days pass, such
that it has reached where it has (today). This is
due to the differing (occurring) between the
neighbouring countries, and their lack of united
resistance against their enemy, and (likewise) their
lack of adherence to the Sharee'ah which Allaah
has linked to victory (and success). (This is also in
addition to) the enemy vowing to oppose (the
Palestinians) and remain upon the (Palestinians')
land. And this entails great danger and adverse
consequences.

The neighbouring countries need to rush to unite
in their resistance (against the enemy) and adhere
to the Sharee'ah in confronting this issue, which
concerns them and all of the Muslim world.

And that which is worth mentioning here, is that
the Palestinian issue is an Islaamic issue from the
beginning (right through) to the end. However,
the enemies of Islaam have strived immensely to
distance it (this issue) from the Islaamic path and
convey to the non-Arab Muslims that this is an
Arab issue, and that it does not concern the non-
Arabs. It appears they have succeeded in this to a
certain extent. This is why I feel it is not possible
to reach a solution regarding this issue unless it is
deemed an Islaamic issue, and the Muslims
support one another in salvation, and make
jihaad against the Jews in an Islaamic manner,
until such time the land (of the Palestinians) is
returned to its (rightful Palestinian) owners. (In
addition to) the trespassing Jews returning to their
(own) lands where they came from, thereby
leaving the true Jews to remain in their lands
under the rule of Islaam, and not communism
and nor secularism.

Thereby, truth shall prevail
and falsehood will be abandoned, and all rightful
owners shall return to their lands under Islaamic
rule, and not under any other (rule).
And Allaah is the Expounder of Success.
