(The following is an approximate translation of the Arabic talk which can be heard at http://www.al-aqsa.org). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday 21 January 2000, 15 Shawwal 1420 And soon will the unjust assailants know what diversity their affairs will take! In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds, and may peace be upon Prophet Muhammad, his family and companions. Allah says, "And soon will the unjust assailants know what diversity their affairs will take!" al'Shu'ara'a (26:227). The current ordeal that the Muslims are undergoing is the most severe in their long history. We have to look deeply into the situation of the Muslims today in order to diagnose the cause of this ordeal. We see Muslims being ruled by corrupt traitorous mercenaries. We see an Islamic Ummah that is misled. We see the situation of the Muslims being turned upside down - where the sincere sons of the Ummah are being persecuted, jailed and killed by the unjust rulers. The imperialist disbelievers, using military force appointed these rulers upon the Islamic Ummah. These rulers are hypocrites in the sense that they say what they do not do, and they do what they do not say. Over seventy-five years have passed since the destruction of the Islamic Khilafah state. Seventy-five years of divisions, corruption, and alienation within the Islamic world. Seventy-five years without the rule of Allah in their lives. The Islamic Khilafah State existed for more than 1300 years - from the first Khalifah, Abu Bakr Al-Siddique, until it was destroyed by the Turkish Jewish agent Mustafa Kamal Ataturk in 1924. The rulers of Muslims today consider the political statements of the Americans and the Jews as holy whereas they have no consideration as to the importance of the Muslim’s' holy places like Al-Aqsa mosque. Their work is to please the Jews and the U.S. Dear brothers, Don't you feel moved by all the ordeals that the Muslims are living through? Don't you see what the Syrian regime is doing to the Islamic activists? The regime there is killing, torturing, frightening, and jailing Muslim men, women and children because of what they have to say against the regime. The Syrian regime does not pay any consideration to the hadeeth of Prophet Muhammad when he said, " Do not frighten the Muslim. Frightening him is a great injustice". Even when the rulers of the Muslims are willing to accept the Jewish occupation of an Islamic land we see leaders of Jews giving statements like: "We should claim Damascus because it was taken from us at the time of King David", or like "We should kneel down crying because some of us are willing to give up parts of the Golan Heights to the enemies" or like "We should fight the government that is willing to surrender lands". Dear Muslims, We need to start evaluating the situation of the Muslims in order to understand the way out. Our rulers have planted hatred amongst us. Their rule is based on illegal intelligence and spying that makes one of us willing to arrest his brother, his cousin, his friend or his neighbour for the sake of the rulers. The rulers are wasting the Ummah’s resources. The Muslims live in poverty while their lands are rich in natural resource. "O ye who believe! Answer the call of Allah and His Messenger, to that which gives you life…" al'Anfal (8:24). Ameen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- http://www.al-aqsa.org
