I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the outcast.

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

Praise is to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. I believe that there is no god but Allah, the Sovereign and the Manifest Truth, and that Muhammad, our master, is His servant, Messenger, and Last Prophet.

O Allah! Confer Your salat and blessings upon Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad as You conferred Your salat and blessings upon Ibrahim and the Family of Ibrahim. You are Owner of Praise, Owner of Glory! And be pleased with Muhammad's good companions and all Your righteous servants and mujahidin.

Brothers and sisters, peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

In the latest developments of the brutal and criminal Israeli assault on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli enemy has committed every conceivable atrocity over the past week. Through relentless air strikes and the use of devastating, American-supplied incendiary bombs, hundreds of Palestinians have been killed and thousands more wounded.

Hunger has also claimed lives, especially among children, with daily deaths caused by starvation. This week alone, the toll of martyrs has risen into the hundreds—killed by bombardment, air strikes, starvation, and all the methods of collective extermination that the Israeli enemy continues to inflict on the Palestinian people. The wounded number in the thousands. Yesterday saw an even greater escalation than in previous days, as the Israeli enemy announced the second phase of what it calls 'Gideon’s Chariots'.

Among the crimes committed by the Israeli enemy this week was the targeting of a displaced persons’ tent inside the grounds of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. The strike killed and injured people near the internal medicine ward. In a display of sheer brutality and criminality, the attack endangered the lives of patients and the wounded inside the hospital.

On the front of starvation and extermination through hunger, Palestinian reports warn that a quarter of a million children in Gaza—including forty thousand infants—are at risk of slow death due to severe malnutrition. The situation for the Palestinian people is extremely dire, with the scale of suffering caused by hunger both immense and horrifying. It is a monstrous crime the Israeli enemy is committing against the Palestinian people—a crime of the century. As for its impact on pregnant women, there have been hundreds of miscarriages directly linked to malnutrition and the lack of food.

The Director-General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza has warned that five hundred people would die every day if the famine continued. Despite that, senior Zionist officials have openly boasted about this crime of starvation. The so-called 'Israel's defence minister' announced, 'We are putting a complete siege on Gaza. No electricity, no food, no water, no gas – it’s all closed,' boasting of this criminality in full view of the world.

Meanwhile, two notorious criminals, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, referred to as 'the finance minister', stated that not a single grain of wheat will be allowed into Gaza. Smotrich is one of the worst of the Zionist criminals, and so is Ben-Gvir. Both, holding ministerial titles, boast of this systematic criminality, which is part of a campaign of genocide against the Palestinian people that targets women, children, the elderly, and the young without distinction.

The Israeli enemy also continues the horrific and monstrous crime of enforced thirst. One of the most harrowing examples of deliberate thirst-driven genocide is the tragic scene of young Amna Al-Mufti—a Palestinian child deliberately targeted by the savage Israeli military with a missile while she carried a jerrycan of water for her family. She was intentionally struck, and her blood spilt along with the jerrycan she carried in Jabalia Camp, northern Gaza, leaving her torn to pieces. This crime—one of the most gruesome—was documented and circulated by the media. It stands as a brutal embodiment of boundless criminality, carried out by butchers, murderers, connoisseurs of violence, and bloodthirsty fanatics.

As for the West Bank, the Israeli enemy has announced the establishment of a new settlement outpost—a fresh act of land seizure and occupation. It clearly has a major objective: to sever the northern West Bank from its central and southern parts, while isolating Al-Quds City. This, in fact, is the central aim of the outpost—the Israeli enemy seeks to cut Al-Quds off from the rest of the West Bank and to fragment the territory into disconnected enclaves.

In doing so, the Israeli enemy is pressing ahead with its clearly stated plans for full occupation and total control. It seeks to erase any prospect of a Palestinian state—not even on a tiny fragment of Palestinian land, not even in a symbolic or disorganised form. Even if that entity is neither a real government nor a genuine state, but only a form of nominal self-rule, the Israeli enemy does not tolerate even this illusion.

The Israeli enemy in continues to commit all types of crimes against the Palestinian people in the West Bank, including killings, kidnappings, bulldosings, raids, and violations of property. Numerous such cases were reported this week.

As for the mistreatment of prisoners, this week, it was announced that Palestinian female prisoners were subjected to torture and persecution. Additionally, the criminal Ben-Gvir entered a prison facility to personally threaten prominent Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti in his cell—a conduct that embodies malice, baseness, depravity, and hatred.

Regarding Al-Quds, the Israeli enemy has sought, and continues to seek, to isolate it, which is a major hostile step in targeting the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the city as a whole. This week, the Israeli enemy continued its incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque, violating its sanctity. It also inaugurated a new settlement park in Al-Quds.

Today marks the anniversary of the Zionist arson attack on the Al-Aqsa Mosque, when fire was set to the Qibli Mosque on 21 August 1969. This moment should draw our attention to the reality of the Zionist plan targeting Al-Aqsa—a matter of profound significance to us as Muslims. It is one of Islam’s holiest sites, the location of the Prophet Muhammad’s ascension, and was the Muslims’ qibla for a notable period during the Prophet’s lifetime.

Among the most important pillars of the Zionist scheme—upheld by the Jewish Zionists and those Christians who align with the Zionist agenda—is the drive to demolish the Al-Aqsa Mosque and to build the alleged temple upon its ruins, alongside the total seizure and Judaisation of the Al-Quds city. This is a fundamental goal and a cornerstone of their plan; it is not a marginal or peripheral issue that they might abandon or compromise on in exchange for certain bargains, offers, or considerations. We shall speak in some detail about this matter. It is a shared goal, as we have said, for the Zionists, and they regard it as the very foundation of the Zionist project. In other words, it is a central issue upon which other components and details of their scheme are built. More than that, it is the basis upon which the primary features of their entire project are established.

Jewish Zionist theological infiltration has fostered a widespread Zionist movement throughout the West, such as in America and in Europe, and even reaching as far as Australia. It has influenced Christian communities. The Jewish theological influence achieved a very deep penetration, producing this Zionist current, founded upon a false and extremely dangerous creed. In fact, this creed now shapes Western policies. This Zionist movement rests on the belief that the establishment of Israel is a divine manifestation, which they regard as the embodiment of grace for their salvation. In other words, they see the establishment of what they call 'Greater Israel' as essential to securing their imagined future—a prosperous future in which they dominate the whole world, totally control all human societies, enjoy all of the wealth of this earth, and reduce all of humanity to their submissive slaves, alongside other ambitions and aspirations.

In this specific part of the Zionist project, there are two distinct ideological strands:

• The Christian Zionists imagine that this is linked to the Second Coming of Christ. That is, after the establishment of 'Greater Israel', the demolition of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the construction of the alleged temple upon its ruins, Christ will then return a second time. They believe they will rule alongside him and dominate the world for a thousand years before the Day of Resurrection. This, in summary, is their belief.
• As for the Jews, they believe that their king will one day come, and they will dominate the world under his rule. They envision establishing a global Zionist Jewish government, turning the entire world, with all its human and material wealth, into spoils for their benefit. They can then control, monopolise, and exploit these resources while following this same approach marked by tyranny, arrogance, oppression, and disdain for other human societies—societies they often refuse to recognise as genuinely human. They tie the fate of humanity and what they refer to as the end of history to this belief. In fact, their Zionist scheme is founded on this very belief, and they are actively pursuing its realisation.

They view the fulfilment of this Zionist plan as empowering Zionist Jews to establish what they call 'Greater Israel', stretching across an expansive region that includes all of the Levant and Iraq—or at the very least, significant parts of Iraq reaching the Euphrates, as outlined in texts they regard as sacred and interpret as divine promises. The same applies to vast areas of Egypt, possibly the entire country, again based on texts they claim to be divine promises and regard as sacred—such texts that align with their greed, desires, whims, and ambitions. It reaches to the Nile and includes Egypt’s Red Sea coast—and perhaps even beyond—as well as vast areas of the Arabian Peninsula, including Medina and Mecca. This Zionist project is grounded in that belief. They see its achievement as a gateway to complete global domination.

When it comes to the broad Zionist belief, there are now hundreds of millions in America, Europe, and Australia who regard supporting this plan as participating in the fulfilment of the divine will, considering that an act of worship. According to their beliefs, Allah aids those who support Israel and opposes those who oppose it. They believe that the main obstacle to 'the Second Coming of the Messiah' is the failure to realise this plan, and the more swiftly it is accomplished, the sooner the Messiah will return. In this way, the issue has been transformed into a matter of religious doctrine, tying the fate of all humanity and the world to it. On this foundation, they have built their ambitions, desires, and colonial projects, for these beliefs sit well with their inclinations and align with their aims of colonisation, domination, and exploitation—such aims that revolve around plundering, subjugating, controlling, and enslaving other peoples.

The Zionist Jewish creed revolves around what they call the 'rebuilding of the temple' and the demolition of the Al-Aqsa Mosque to build their alleged temple upon its ruins. This is a central pillar of the Zionist plan. Indeed, this alleged temple occupies a central place in both their plans and beliefs, and they have surrounded it with highly grotesque myths and legends that constitute a grave insult and a monstrous fabrication against Allah (Glory be to Him).

Among their most appalling and offensive fabrications about Allah (Glory be to Him) is their claim that He—Exalted is He far above what they allege—admitted to making a mistake by not preventing the destruction of the alleged temple. They claim the temple was destroyed twice in history, one of those times being some seven hundred years before the birth of the Messiah, when the Babylonian king attacked them. Thus, they ascribe to Allah (Glory be to Him) the falsehood that He regretted not preventing the destruction of the temple. They claim that He began to weep and roar and called for ruin upon Himself for having permitted the destruction of His house, the burning of the temple, and the plundering of His children—presenting themselves as the children of Allah. What a monstrous lie! They claim that He—Exalted is He far above what they allege—weeps and strikes Himself every day until their alleged temple is rebuilt atop the ruins of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Through this myth, along with many others—fabrications and statements that contain grave offences against Allah (Glory be to Him)—they have made the alleged temple a central symbol and cause. They actively pursue this cause, for it is, as they believe, essential to realising all other hopes and ambitions. Although they have turned that into a religious doctrine, the fact remains that it is all about pursuing their whims and ambitions that reflect their greed and align with their malicious, criminal, and covetous mentality. Anyway, they are genuinely striving to realise this goal in practice.

For this reason, there are concrete efforts and a determined push within Zionism to accomplish it. This is the purpose of the excavations under the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the attempts to Judaise Al-Quds, and the ongoing efforts over many years in this direction. Even the repeated incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque and weekly—almost daily—violations of its sanctity are part of their efforts to realise this criminal and dangerous goal. They have numerous organisations and associations in America and across the globe. In Palestine, the Zionist Jews—the occupiers of Palestine—are extremely active, with a host of institutions, bodies, and associations dedicated to this purpose. For them, this is an official and collective effort. There are also those Zionists who support them in Europe, America, and elsewhere at the official level and through many associations and organisations that mobilise within the general public in Europe and America: They collect donations and actively engage in extensive propaganda and opinion-shaping efforts. They gather funds and also rally widespread public support in Western communities. So support is provided in every form—political, material, and otherwise—to implement this plan, and their efforts are highly intensive.

The Zionist vision is founded upon the glorification and sanctification of this scheme. That is to say, the Zionists regard it essentially as a divine plan, which they seek to implement as an act of worship. As previously noted, it also satisfies their ambitions and desires for dominance, monopoly, targeting of this Ummah, and control over human societies, especially this region, which they consider to be of immense geographical and global significance. Consequently, they remain in a state of constant mobilisation, shaping their political decisions accordingly. That happens to the extent that, in some writings and reports, it is mentioned that American decisions concerning any matter related to what they call the Middle East must involve consultation with certain individuals whom they regard as priests and clergymen: They consult them before taking any decision so that it may not conflict with what they term the 'divine will'. Thus, no decision may negatively affect this very scheme; rather, every decision must serve it and contribute to its advancement.

The global Zionist vision in America, in Europe, in Australia, and among the Jews themselves is founded upon the glorification and sanctification of this scheme and the pursuit of its implementation. That is because they regard it as a plan that benefits them both in religious and worldly terms. In other words, they see it as a religious plan with worldly outcomes: domination, monopoly, occupation, plunder, and enslavement. They believe it will grant them the influence, control, occupation, exploitation, and subjugation they seek, placing all their hopes in it as a divine promise. They believe it will grant them the influence, control, occupation, looting, and subjugation they seek, placing all their hopes in it as a divine promise. Hence, they have entrenched the view that it is a sacred project for them and an exalted project, which they cast in a religious mould and upon which they build great expectations that fulfil their desires, ambitions, and aspirations. These ambitions are evil, aggressive, criminal, and unjust: occupation, domination, usurpation, extermination, plunder, and the enslavement of peoples. 

The truth about this matter was revealed by Allah (Glory be to Him) in the Holy Quran, clarifying the essence of the issue and what it really is. He clarifies whether it is truly a sacred plan (imbued with a divine religious character and a divine promise and bearing positive outcomes for human society, for life on the earth, and for the future of the world) or whether it is something altogether different.

Allah (Glory be to Him) revealed the truth of this matter in the Holy Quran. There ought to be significant mobilisation among Muslims, and subsequently at the global level, to clarify the essence of this issue, to expose their falsehoods, and to demonstrate the invalidity of their claims that are rooted in falsehood and misguidance. Upon these fabrications, they have constructed the greatest injustice of our time—the crime of the century—in their actions against the Palestinian people and the peoples of this Ummah.

Despite the distortions carried out by the Jews throughout history—a continuous distortion in every generation—and their attempts to obscure the truth, Allah (Glory be to Him) has revealed their scheme in the Holy Quran. Moreover, their reality, their distortion, and their criminal practices bear witness to the truth that Allah revealed and clarified in the Holy Quran.

In the Holy Quran, particularly in Surah Al-Isra, after mentioning that He took the Prophet (PBUH&F) on the Night Journey to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Allah (Glory be to Him) says:

{'And We warned the Children of Israel in the Scripture, “You will certainly cause corruption in the land twice, and you will become extremely arrogant. When the first of the two warnings came to pass, We would send against you some of Our servants of great might, who would ravage your homes. This would be a warning fulfilled. Then, We would give you the upper hand over them and aid you with wealth and offspring, causing you to outnumber them. If you act rightly, it is for your own good, but if you do wrong, it is to your own loss. Then when the final promise came, they would disgrace your faces and to enter the mosque as they entered it the first time, and to destroy what they had taken over with [total] destruction. Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you, but if you return, We will return. And We have made Jahannam a prison-bed for the disbelievers"'}[Al-Isra 17:4-8] 

In these blessed verses, Allah (Glory be to Him) makes clear the truth about the Children of Israel, as He informed them in the Scripture (the Torah), and it is even likely that it was also mentioned in the lost Gospel of Jesus (PBUH), which Allah revealed to His Prophet Jesus (PBUH). Allah then reaffirmed this truth in the Holy Quran. He informed them that they would indeed have a role, but it would be a negative and corrupt role—not a sacred one, as they portray it, nor one divinely supported as though it were a project for the benefit of humanity, making them worthy of a position above all other human societies. Rather, it is, first, a profoundly negative role. This role is defined by deep-seated and comprehensive corruption on the earth. Whenever they are able to seize power or influence, they use it to spread corruption in every sphere — beliefs, morals, politics, economics, society, and beyond. This corruption is both general and pervasive, as Allah says, {'You will certainly cause corruption in the land twice'}[Al-Isra 17:4]. Alongside corruption, they practise arrogance, tyranny, and injustice against other human societies. Thus, their role is neither sacred, nor positive, nor supported by Allah (Glory be to Him) to represent the divine will for the good of humanity. Rather, it is a deeply destructive and dangerous role for human societies. There are underlying causes for this—negative realities within societies that allow them to gain such harmful influence. 

Quran interpreters have differed concerning the matter of the two occasions mentioned in the verse, {'You will certainly cause corruption in the land twice.'} They differ on whether the two times are both past or whether one remains to come. Nevertheless, they all agree that when Allah says, {'But if you return, We will return'}[Al-Isra 17:8], these words make it clear that it is a recurring law of Allah with them. They understand that whenever they return to corruption from a position of influence, power, and control, Allah (Glory be to Him) will never leave them unchecked: He will surely strike and bring them to account. In addition to that, Allah says in the Holy Quran, {'Behold! Your Lord declared that He would certainly send against them those who would make them suffer terribly until the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, your Lord is swift in punishment, but He is certainly Forgiving, Merciful'}[Al-A'raf 7:167]. Allah knows their evil, their wickedness, their malice, their aggression, their crimes, their brutality, and the danger they pose to other human societies. Therefore, Allah (the Almighty) is never heedless of them or of their crimes.

In fact, this is the truth. The truth is not as they have portrayed it and entrenched it within western societies, instilling it through education and culture, so that they may be regarded—as they themselves claim—as representing the divine will, acting for the good of humanity, and moving within the framework of a divine project supported by Allah, the Almighty. The problem, however, may also have another aspect in relation to our Islamic Ummah: the dominance granted over the Ummah due to its general neglect of its major responsibilities. This is a matter we shall address in another context, Allah willing.

When we look at their distorted texts representing their project—this Zionist scheme they pursue—we clearly find, despite all their distortions, that the reality is precisely as Allah has revealed in the Holy Quran. How do they depict their project? All their texts concerning this project lay bare an aggressive, criminal, and savage agenda: It is all about exterminating other societies, enslaving them, plundering their wealth, and degrading them. Quite simply, this Zionist project offers nothing positive whatsoever to humankind. It is nothing but criminality, rooted in genocide, occupation, plundering, domination, and contempt for others. There is not a single redeeming feature or positive value presented. Its sole objective is to empower the Zionist Jews to dominate other human societies—eradicating some, enslaving others to serve their interests, seizing land, plundering resources, and exploiting people in thoroughly inhumane ways. This form of exploitation is based on the idea that human societies are nothing but animals in human shape, created only to serve the Jews. Such a project could never be divine, for it brings no good to humanity.

Take, for example, some of their religious texts that lay this reality bare—that is, this project is a campaign of corruption and destruction of life, laying waste to land and offspring and rooted in genocide, crime, and brutality:

• One such text, which they blasphemously attribute to Allah, states, 'But in the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance,'—this treats entire communities, with all their cities and possessions, as a divine gift to these wrongdoers—'you shall save alive nothing that breathes.' In other words, it commands complete genocide, sparing neither child, woman, nor elder—absolutely no one.
• Another text commands them to destroy everything upon taking control—men, women, children, elders, even cattle, sheep, and donkeys! This is yet another text that serves the purpose of domination, occupation, and enslavement.
• Many of their texts call for enslaving peoples; for example, there is a text that sates, 'As you approach a town to attack it, you must first offer its people terms for peace. And if it responds to you peaceably and it opens to you, then all the people who are found in it shall do forced labour for you and shall serve you.' That is, the people of that town become their servants and slaves!
• These are the Jewish beliefs that shape Zionist action. As we observe, they call for enslaving those among the nations whom the Jews do not wish to exterminate. They destroy whomever they wish, to whatever extent they choose, and keep alive whomever they desire as slaves, compelled to serve them. In other words, these people are supposed to live without freedom, dignity, or the right to make decisions for themselves; they are subjected to absolute submission, like animals, for service and total enslavement. Can such a scheme truly be a divine project to be offered to human society—a sacred, exalted undertaking? Or is it, in fact, a satanic, savage, criminal project, founded on the enslavement of humanity?
• Just consider how different this project is from the true divine message Allah sent through all His prophets to all people. It is a message that aims to save people from enslavement to anyone other than Allah: {'And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allah and avoid taghut"'}[An-Nahl 16:36]. This is the divine message throughout history; in contrast, their project is one of enslaving people, and their plan is founded on that very principle.
• One of their texts reads, 'Peoples will be your servants, and nations will bow down to you.' The Jewish scheme is about enslaving whole nations. These are their aspirations, their mentality, and the depth of their malice. Their ambition is to enslave nations, turning them into their own slaves. 'Peoples will be your servants, and nations will bow down to you.'—bowing here means absolute submission and the height of humiliation.

At the practical level, what methods have they adopted to carry out this scheme? What are the projects, schemes, and broad activities they pursue today? All the methods they employ for achieving this aim embody all forms of corrupting and misleading others and are marked by criminality. They commit heinous crimes to reach this aim. Were they to achieve it—by establishing what they call 'Greater Israel'—this would be the beginning of a new era of tyranny, criminality, and arrogance. This cannot be a sacred project. Rather, as Allah says of them, {'They strive to spread corruption in the land. And Allah does not like corruptors'}[Al-Ma'idah 5:64], and {'They buy misguidance and want you [believers], too, to lose the right path'}[An-Nisa 4:44].

For centuries, they have been working to achieve this goal—to bring their scheme to fruition—engaging in widespread corruption and focusing on misleading human societies, whether religiously, culturally, or intellectually. They seek to shape the beliefs and loyalties of others in a way that serves their interests and makes it easier for them to achieve this goal. As a result, Western society has been turned into a breeding ground of misguidance and corruption. They have destroyed innate human values that Allah instilled in people; morals and noble virtues have been swept aside. Western societies are now plagued by vice, depravity, wickedness, and a moral descent beneath the level of humanity.

Countless people in Europe have descended to a dog-like lifestyle. They are sold as dogs in markets and have no problem living as dogs—barking instead of speaking, imitating dogs, dressing as dogs. Some even dress as monkeys. They have fallen into such depths of debasement and disgrace.

Moral standards and virtues have completely vanished in Western society, which is now awash with obscenity, promiscuity, vice, alcohol, drugs, and every imaginable crime. Chastity has been eradicated, and obscenity is entirely normal and pervasive. It began with spreading prostitution and immorality, which soon became a hallmark of the West. Now, due to Jewish influence, the West is promoting sexual deviance and immorality globally and seeks to make such acts lawful by legislation, even though they are among the vilest crimes and vices known to humanity.

They are the source of criminality and misguidance in every form. Even the promotion of atheism is their work, as is the proliferation of false beliefs that mislead and divert people from the truth. They are responsible for countless erroneous and false doctrines worldwide! After all, they are a source of misguidance, corruption, and the most appalling crimes—whether committed directly or engineered through their designs. Their actions in Gaza over the past twenty-two months are plain for all to see, reflecting the height of criminality.

How could these people be considered the champions of a sacred project—one that millions in the godless West revere, glorify, support, fundraise for, and rally behind? Their true aim is domination, enslavement, plunder, violation, and criminality. All they want is to rule the world through such actions, headed by their king, who—according to their claims—would rule the earth in a government of their own. They claim this king would be one of them—a Jew.

All of this—together with their criminal and corrupt actions—testifies to the fact that the truth is as Allah revealed in the Holy Quran. This also makes it clear that the Torah, too, revealed this same reality: corruption on the earth, arrogance, and criminal acts—not a sacred project. Its ultimate end is also foretold: a crushing divine punishment and retribution upon them, as described in reference to the two times and as promised afterwards: {'But if you return [to sin], We will return [to punishment]'}[Al-Isra 17:8]. That is, Allah (the Almighty) will again grant dominance over them and punish them by dealing them a heavy blow.

Therefore, let's consider what truly constitutes a divine project, one that brings benefit to human society, and turn to the Holy Quran to understand how this project is defined. Allah (Glory be to Him) addresses the Muslim Ummah, saying, {'You are the best nation ever raised for mankind: You enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and believe in Allah'}[Ali 'Imran 3:110]. At the forefront of this Ummah are its virtuous and righteous members and its guides, first and foremost the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (PBUH&F), whom Muslims should emulate. The Ummah is called to follow in their footsteps, walking a path founded on these sacred and noble principles: {'You are the best nation ever raised for mankind: You enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and believe in Allah.'} These are divine principles:

• Enjoining what is right—this is what the world truly needs, as it elevates humanity and helps steer life in the right direction.
• Forbidding what is wrong—be it injustice, corruption, misguidance, or any form of evil that degrades human society and causes profound harm, leading to crime, corruption, and oppression.
• Believing in Allah (Glory be to Him), which makes people true servants of Allah and ensures they act in accordance with His guidance

When we examine what constitutes a true divine project for the good of humanity, we find Allah’s words:
{'Say, [O Prophet,] “O People of the Book! Let us come to common terms: that we will worship none but Allah, associate none with Him, nor take one another as lords instead of Allah.” But if they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that we have submitted [to Allah alone]"'}[Ali 'Imran 3:64]. Such is the divine project. This is what Allah offers to His servants: a call to real freedom, so that no one takes another as lord besides Allah. In contrast, they say, 'Peoples will be your servants, and nations will bow down to you,' treating other peoples based on subjugation and enslavement. Whereas what Allah states in the Holy Quran is a call to freedom for all human societies: {'Say, [O Prophet,] “O People of the Book! Let us come to common terms: that we will worship none but Allah, associate none with Him, nor take one another as lords instead of Allah.” But if they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that we have submitted [to Allah alone]."'}

Allah (the Almighty) says, {'Let there be a group among you who call [others] to goodness'}[Ali 'Imran 3:104]. This is a core divine principle. By contrast, their project is one of devastation, ruin, and genocide, commanding them not to leave alive neither child nor woman, nor elder nor youth, not even the sheep, cattle, or donkeys! The divine project commands, {'Let there be a group among you who call [others] to goodness,'}—offering goodness to humanity, calling others to it, and acting accordingly—{'enjoin what is good, and forbid what is wrong—it is they who will be successful '}[Ali 'Imran 3:104].

What the Holy Quran calls to concerning dealings with others is evident: Allah (the Almighty) says, {'Allah does not forbid you from dealing kindly and fairly with those who have neither fought nor driven you out of your homes. Surely Allah loves those who are fair'}[Al-Mumtahanah 60:8]. He also says in the Holy Quran, {'O believers! Stand firm for Allah and bear witness for equity. Do not let the hatred of a people lead you to injustice. Be just! That is closer to righteousness'}[Al-Ma'idah 5:8]. That is, even with those you dislike, uphold justice—stand for justice and equity as the foundation of all interactions.

The central theme of the divine message is as Allah tells His last Messenger and Prophet, Muhammad (PBUH&F): {'We have sent you [O Prophet] only as a mercy for the whole world'}[Al-Anbya 21:107]—to all peoples. This is the true essence of the divine message: the offering Allah presents to humanity, the genuine divine project for the welfare of society.

As for those whom the American ambassador refers to as a light to the nations, claiming that Allah has chosen them for such a role—what light is this? Their project, their texts, their practices, beliefs, and schemes are nothing but misguidance, criminality, and corruption: They spread vice and misguidance, supporting every form of deviation and distortion. On the contrary, Allah says about them and all those like them who oppose the divine message, {'They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it'}[As-Saf 61:8].

Therefore, we call upon all members of our Islamic Ummah and upon all humanity to look upon these Zionist Jews and those with them in the Zionist camp through the lens of the Holy Quran and with an eye to reality and the facts. They must be judged by the realities made manifest in their conduct, beliefs, plans, and behaviour—realities that are abundantly clear. Turning a blind eye to the truths of the Quran and the facts on the ground leads nowhere. Unfortunately, many in our Ummah—whether regimes, governments, leaders, movements, factions, or individuals—choose blindness. Indeed, they prefer not to see things through the perspective of the Holy Quran, nor to face the self-evident, tangible realities, which impose themselves and are plain for all to see. They insist on viewing things through a completely different lens, building upon it foolish positions—positions that serve no purpose and bring no benefit to the Ummah.

The conflict is absolutely inevitable between us and those criminal Zionist Jews, along with their Zionist allies in the East and West. The conflict is inevitable because their scheme is one of destruction, darkness, criminality, and savagery, targeting our Ummah and our peoples. It cannot be accommodated, nor can one coexist with it. Choosing to become their slave means losing both this life and the Hereafter and grants nothing in return—not even what one aspired to.

It is deeply regrettable that most of the policies and positions within our Islamic Ummah—whether in the Arab world or beyond—are based on a foolish perspective and a complete disregard for all these clear and evident truths. This is truly regrettable, as it represents an injustice to oneself and to others and a direct contribution to the oppression of the Palestinian people and of other nations that, more than anyone else, are scorched by the fire of Israeli aggression and Zionist crimes. It is, in fact, a contribution to that oppression and a key factor in all that is happening.

Therefore, recognising the inevitability of this conflict, given that the Zionist-Israeli scheme is one of destruction and darkness—rooted in targeting, annihilation, crime, and the spread of corruption on the earth: {'You will certainly cause corruption in the land twice'}[Al-Isra 17:4]—how, then, can anyone still speak of coexistence with them? Their entire orientation is one of corruption. Do you realise what that means? It means they target you with their corruption. Zionist corruption is not confined to their own reality; they actively export it: They export their deviance and their corruption, and their tyranny targets other nations and peoples, about whom they say, 'Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.' This is a direct assault on people. That is their reality. This is the truth about them. Therefore, conflict with them is inevitable. What the Ummah must focus on, however, is how to approach this conflict in a sound, effective, and meaningful way, and how to correct our internal condition, whose flaws and weaknesses have allowed them to make it to this point. One cannot avoid this conflict with them, for this is who they are.

At the same time, this conflict has a scope and a certain outcome according to Allah’s true promise. Muslims need not look for any further reassurance than this divine affirmation: {'But if you return [to sin], We will return [to punishment]'}[Al-Isra 17:8]. This is a clear and certain promise. Yet we must take this divine promise with faith, trust, complete confidence in Allah, and firm belief in His true promise; we must also move forward with practical action.

The Zionist Jews, along with those in Western societies who follow their Zionist path, strive to implement what they falsely present as a divine promise, although it is nothing but a fabrication against Allah (Glory be to Him). They glorify and sanctify what is grounded on falsehood, criminality, and tyranny and what brings about injustice and corruption. We, by contrast, have right on our side and are the bearers of a just cause. The guidance that Allah has granted us, with all its instructions and principles, is a true light. It contains nothing that provokes human societies that are still true to innate human nature. It provokes only those who are swayed by satanic orientations and are exploitable by the Jews. Otherwise, consider these principles presented in these Quranic verses we have just read: They contain no notions like those of the Jews—slavery, humiliation, mass extermination, or destruction.

This is why the Jews worked to create a model that mirrors their own criminal and brutal orientation and follows their blind approach in dealing with people: the takfiri groups. These groups were deliberately crafted to resemble them so that they can tarnish the image of Islam. Yet these groups are fully exposed in their deviation from the Holy Quran and in their alignment and harmony with the Zionist Jews, for they never adopt a position of resistance against Zionist Jews. Instead, they openly strive to prevent the Ummah from confronting or taking any action against them, and even treat those within the Ummah who oppose Zionism as their enemies.

One of the clearest and most evident signs that we can succeed in this conflict is the steadfastness of our fellow mujahidin in the Gaza Strip and the high effectiveness of their jihad, despite the fact that, in terms of material capabilities, they possess almost nothing compared to what the Israeli enemy has at its disposal and the support it receives.

The Israeli enemy, with American partnership and backing and open Western support, has been waging war against them and seeking their total annihilation, only to fail. For more than twenty-two months now, they have remained steadfast, carrying out operations that inflict heavy blows on the Israeli enemy.

After all this prolonged period of brutal aggression, Israeli savagery, total destruction, and suffocating blockade, our fellow mujahidin in the Gaza Strip carried out numerous significant operations this week, inflicting severe losses on the enemy. The Al-Qassam Brigades conducted around fifteen operations, the most prominent of which was a unique and exceptional operation—acknowledged even by the Israeli enemy itself—in Khan Younis. It was a resounding success, as it unexpectedly dealt severe blows to the enemy, which had not expected such effectiveness after so long.

In fact, due to the high effectiveness of the jihadist operations carried out by the Al-Qassam Brigades, the Al-Quds Brigades, and the other Palestinian jihadist factions in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli enemy is facing a real crisis in manpower. It is now considering bringing in fighters from Jewish communities abroad and hiring mercenaries from various countries. This reflects the severity of the crisis it is facing, compounded by the internal recruitment challenge concerning the Haredim. Meanwhile, effective operations continue to take place on the ground

This week, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the Al-Quds Brigades, and other jihadist factions in Gaza carried out a series of various effective operations.

During the Khan Younis operation, amid the clashes, an important message was sent by one of the Palestinian mujahidin—a message we convey to the entire Islamic Ummah. He said, 'We say to the whole Ummah: We are a proof against you, not in your favour. May Allah not forgive those who have abandoned us, nor those who left Gaza to stand alone. Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs.' This was his message, which expressed the heartfelt sentiment of all mujahidin in the Gaza Strip. It reflects the voice of all the people of Gaza—the voice of the society and the mujahidin alike—amid this silence and inaction on the part of this two-billion-Muslim Ummah. Such inaction is disgraceful, and indeed, Allah will not forgive this Ummah for it. How can an ummah with such vast resources, capabilities, numbers, and strength merely stand by while such atrocities are committed against one of its peoples—the Palestinian people—by an enemy that is hostile to all and poses a threat to everyone in it?

Indeed, the current state of the Ummah is deeply troubling. After all this time and the undeniable clarity of events, we must speak frankly: The issue goes beyond mere negligence. Some within the Ummah are actively collaborating with the Israeli enemy—openly supporting it:

• Take, for example, the Saudi ship that was caught in an Italian port transporting weapons to the Israeli enemy. Is this simply a case of arms delivery? Is the Saudi regime, which controls the world’s largest oil reserves, acting as a hired porter—carrying weapons for a fee from the Israeli enemy? This is deliberate support. The Saudi regime, the richest in the Arab world, has immense wealth and does not therefore act out of financial desperation. This is calculated military support with arms for the Israeli enemy. And there is no doubt that other non-military forms of support are also in play.
• Consider, too, the Egyptian regime’s thirty-five-billion-dollar deal with the Zionists. It is a disaster—a massive boost to the Israeli enemy, under the guise of importing gas. Egypt could have invested that colossal sum in domestic energy development or sourced gas from any Islamic or Arab countries where it is readily available. So why, specifically, turn to the Israeli enemy? It is, plainly, support for the enemy. This reality is shameful, especially among Arab regimes, whose actions set the tone for the broader Islamic world. Worse still, they target those who stand with Palestine—just as they do with Iran, which they oppose because it supports the Palestinian people and their mujahidin.
• The push to disarm Hamas—a move backed by Saudi Arabia, other Arab regimes, and even the Palestinian Authority— amounts to support for Israel, an act of complicity with the Israeli enemy. Similarly, calls to disarm the resistance in Lebanon, particularly Hezbollah, are nothing but a form of support for Israel. These efforts aim to strip weapons from any group that resists Israeli tyranny and obstructs the Zionist agenda. There are indeed those who support and collude with the Israeli enemy.
• The stagnation seen in most Arab and Islamic countries is not coincidental; it is the result of a political decision by those regimes. They have actively suppressed any initiative to support the Palestinian people, going so far as to imprison and punish those who take action. This is not mere inaction—it is a calculated and official position.
• Even regarding the Palestinian cause, what path has the Islamic world taken? We have recalled the date of the Zionist arson attack on the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Just consider how Muslims responded to that crime against one of Islam’s most sacred landmarks—what did they actually do? It took ten full years after the incident for any decision, position, or action to be taken. A full decade passed before the Organisation of the Islamic Conference—representing every Islamic government and nation—finally issued a decision to form a committee tasked with developing a joint strategy for the liberation of Al-Quds. Whether the committee was ever formed or not, the decision was made. But since then, over forty-five years, there has been no sign of any progress: no movement, no vision, no strategy, no plan, no practical steps—nothing at all. Is this the path of people who are serious? Who are sincere in action? Who are honest with Allah, with their nations, and with the causes of their Ummah? What kind of path is this? Ten years passed after the arson attack before any decision was made. Then, after the decision to form a committee to develop a strategy for the liberation of Al-Quds, more than forty-five years have passed with no single serious or practical move. This is clear proof that these regimes are not serious. They have no intention or will to take any genuine, practical position on this issue and this threat that targets the entire Ummah.
• The criminal Netanyahu speaks of a practical, ongoing project and concrete steps they are taking to establish 'Greater Israel', which means controlling Arabs' countries, enslaving this Ummah, and dominating its sacred sites. In response, some governments and regimes issue a joint statement of condemnation—merely a statement! Meanwhile, the Zionists are actively moving forward with real, practical steps and serious efforts. Yet in the face of this gravest threat, these governments and regimes respond with a written statement containing nothing but lifeless words with no practical effect, no action to follow, and not even minimal measures, such as economic or political boycotts. They show a lack of seriousness in taking action.  

Regarding the demonstrations in support of the Palestinian people, this week, there were demonstrations in four Arab and Islamic countries, as well as large-scale demonstrations in various countries. Demonstrations took place in fifteen countries across the world, some of which held massive crowds. The human conscience around the world is gradually awakening, yet in some Arab countries, it is fading. That is truly regrettable.

Regarding the support operations of Yemen (the land of faith), this week, operations continued to target occupied Yaffa. Also, operations were carried out in the far north of the Red Sea, targeting two ships that violated the ban.

 Since the beginning of the month of Safar until now, the operations carried out by Yemen in support of the Palestinian people against the Israeli enemy in the Battle of the Promised Conquest and Holy Jihad, have reached forty-two operations, using hypersonic missiles, drones, and other means. These efforts also include maintaining the blockade and halting Israeli navigation along the Red Sea route extending to Bab Al-Mandab, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea, with continued disruption of the port of Umm Al-Rashrash.

This week, the grassroots activities were highly intense and large-scale, led by the annual expanded conference of Yemeni scholars, organised by the Association of Yemeni Scholars. The conference witnessed a massive turnout of religious scholars, preachers, and students, with strong and impactful speeches and a powerful final statement. The religious scholars in other Islamic countries must take action at a similar level to that of the Yemeni scholars, for they bear a great responsibility before Allah (the Almighty) to clarify His revelation that grants the Ummah insight, reminds it of its responsibilities, and guides it on the path to salvation. This is a matter of great importance, as it serves to awaken the peoples; otherwise, their neglect will bring upon them a heavy burden.

University activities have also been extensive, as large-scale university marches were held yesterday in several universities in Sana’a, Al-Hudaydah, Dhamar, Al-Bayda, Al-Jawf, Al-Mahwit, Amran, and Sa‘dah. In fact, Yemen’s academic and university community is the only one raising its voice within the Islamic world. The public gatherings, manoeuvres, military marches, and various activities have all been significant and intense—thanks to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. Last Friday's marches reached 1,375 marches and gatherings. 

This is, as we always say, indeed by the grace of Allah. This is because it is very important to strive for the cause of Allah (the Almighty) in the face of such a crime—the crime of the era and the crime of the century—in the context of this great test and this crucial challenge facing the Islamic world. It is an honour for a person to maintain his humanity, his human dignity, and the genuineness of his faith by taking action, feeling his responsibility, and doing whatever he can. Thus, the mobilisation of our people truly stands as a testament to the saying of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&F): 'The belief is that of the Yemenites, and sagacity is that of the Yemenites.'

Those who succumb to the Israeli enemy and accept Zionist enslavement have no faith, no wisdom, no honour, no humanity, and no dignity. Honour comes from faith, and confronting that vile, disgraceful, criminal, and savage enemy—with its Zionist, aggressive, corruptive, criminal, and brutal scheme—is consistent with faith. To stand and act against that enemy and its schemes is an act rooted in faith, honour, dignity, and pride, and it is also a religious, human, and ethical duty.

I call upon our dear people to participate in a massive, million-strong demonstration tomorrow, Friday (Allah willing), in the capital, Sana’a, and across all governorates.

We ask Allah (Glory be to Him) to grant us success in seeking what pleases Him. O Allah! Have mercy on our virtuous martyrs, heal the wounded among us, set free our captives, and grant us victory. You are the All-Hearer of prayer. We also ask Him to hasten relief and victory for the oppressed Palestinian people and for their dear mujahidin.

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
