The Breaths of the Sincere Terrorize the West

News:

US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan considered that what is happening in Syria is the result of the actions of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, stressing that the United States is not a party to what is happening, and that it is closely following what is happening in the country.

Comment:

The statement is within the framework of the Deterrence of Aggression Operation launched by the Syrian opposition last Wednesday, where it made rapid progress that enabled it to control most of the city of Aleppo, and the entire city of Idlib, and in parallel the Dawn of Freedom Operation, which was launched in the north and east of the city of Aleppo, in areas controlled by the Kurdish People's Protection Units. Regardless of how the events will turn out, they are changing the dynamics of the current conflict. They are creating a new atmosphere that may lead to what is good for this Ummah, even if it emerged in stages...

Here, I will not address the events from the perspective of political analysis, nor even from political stances, as there are already those who have spoken about, and expanded on, what is obligatory to adopt at these times. Instead, I will look from the perspective of the simple Muslim, who is glued to the screens and social media sites. I will respond to everyone who says that this Ummah is in a state of slumber.

Within the first hours of this movement, the feelings of Muslims were stirred in all parts of the world. They began to closely monitor the events that were happening, hoping that the revolutionaries would continue their march towards Damascus. There were those who preferred making Dua and follow-up of the events, to hours of sleep.

If we were to cover every point, this article would not be enough. So instead I will go over some highlights:

Individuals outside of factions, began joining the mobilization of the factions. Most of these individuals did not have weapons, and sought to obtain them with all that they have. So the throngs mobilized, and the number increased, with every step forward. Their sights yearn for being the men of the liberation, and for battles of liberation, responding to the call of Allahu Akbar. These moments are sincere moments that fill the hearts of the people with hope, as the pulse of the Ummah rises.

The kafir West is terrified and fearful, even though it knows that the key factors and sources of power are within its hands. However, the people’s movement frightens the West, so the monitoring rooms of all countries began working around the clock, closely monitoring. Indeed, how much we terrify the West, when we move with a sincere movement.

This movement conveyed a public expression that filled people’s hearts with optimism. This indicates the level of repression that afflicted their hearts, due to the betrayal of their rulers, who do not belong to them in the first place. The rulers moved towards their masters, out of fear of the fall of any of their regimes, because their downfall is tied to the rope of the Ummah’s awakening.

The awareness of the Ummah today is different from its awareness at the beginning of what was called the Arab Spring. We find people from all countries calling out and saying, “Our eyes are looking out for your arrival in Al-Quds.” This reinforces and expresses the feeling of belonging to the Islamic Ummah, as everyone looks with hope to the victory of this group.

Then we find the Ummah’s joy today, mixed with fear. On the one hand, Muslims are happy with what happened on the ground. On the other, they fear that this advance will stop to serve a foreign agenda, and we will go back to where we started.

Therefore, we call upon every person of awareness and strength. We draw the attention of the armies to the fact that moving today is better than moving tomorrow. Opportunities come one after the other, when we adhere to the hukm (rule) of Allah (swt) in all our actions. We must support and provide assistance to everyone who works to restore the rule of Allah (swt), and resume the Islamic way of life. This is so that we may bring all the enemies of Islam to their knees, as well as every oppressor who has worked, or is working, to humiliate humanity. This is so we restore goodness for this planet, and be as Allah (swt) loves to see us be.

The Prophet (saw) said,

«سَيَصِيرُ الْأَمْرُ إِلَى أَنْ تَكُونُوا جُنُوداً مُجَنَّدَةً؛ جُنْدٌ بِالشَّامِ وَجُنْدٌ بِالْيَمَنِ وَجُنْدٌ بِالْعِرَاقِ» قَالَ ابْنُ حَوَالَةَ: خِرْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتُ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: «عَلَيْكَ بِالشَّامِ فَإِنَّهَا خِيرَةُ اللهِ مِنْ أَرْضِهِ يَجْتَبِي إِلَيْهَا خِيرَتَهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ، فَأَمَّا إِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِيَمَنِكُمْ وَاسْقُوا مِنْ غُدُرِكُمْ فَإِنَّ اللهَ تَوَكَّلَ لِي بِالشَّامِ وَأَهْلِهِ»

“It will turn out that you will be armed troops, one faction in Syria, one in Yemen and one in Iraq.” Ibn Hawalah said, ‘Choose for me, Messenger of Allah, if I am around at that time.’ He (saw) replied, “Go to Syria, for it is Allah's chosen land, to which his best servants will be gathered. However, if you are unwilling, go to Yemen, and draw water from your wells, for Allah has on my account taken special charge of Syria and its people.” [Narrated by Abu Daud, Ahmad and Tirmidhi]
