The issue of Palestine has been the issue for decades. The attack on Gaza continuously happens every year. The issue of Palestine is the responsibility of all Muslim Ummah. While we have the sincere Mujahidin fighting against the cruelty of Assad regime, and a global call for Muslim to support Jihadist along Syria to Iraq, yet we don't have any state authority's declaration to send troop of armies that could help and liberate Muslim in Palestine.

The history of Khalifah Mu'tasim Billah was a good example of a Muslim ruler defending Islam, the honor of Muslim men and women.

During his time, a Muslim woman was captured by the Romans in a place named ‘Amuriyyah. They tried to dishonor her. When the Khalifah Mutasim Billah heard about the cry of the women, calling "Ya Mutasim", he was stunned and said,

"Wallahi, I will send an army that is so big that when it reaches them it will still be leaving our bases. Tell me the strongest city of these Romans and I will send the army to that city."

This was the decisive response of the Khalifah, when the honor of one of our sisters/mothers was touched.

The war against the Jewish entity as a state is not the responsibility for the group like Hamas. All Muslims should unite under the one flag of Ar-Rayah, led by Amirul Jihad, the Khalifah who declares Jihad against this enemy of Allah. The killing and humiliation to the Muslim men, women and children only can be stopped with the present of Khalifah. What more crucial for our brothers and sisters in Palestine is their life. Money can't guarantee that but the existence of Khilafah "Caliphate" will protect the safety and life of Ummah.

17^th Ramadhan 2 AH was the Battle of Badr, where Rasulullah (saw) the leader of state declared Jihad against the enemy of Allah. The first war and victory after the establishment of Madinah, showed the significant present of Islamic State in the Arab Jazeera and threaten surrounding state. The month of Shawwal of the same year, there was a known story of Muslim's women being harassed by the Jews. Her cloak was pinned and stripped by a member of Jews Banu Qainuqa'. The Muslim man passing by killed the Jew. The relatives of the Jew killed the Muslim as retaliation. The Jews has breach the Covenant and then were banished.

Allah (swt) said in Al-Quran,

((قُل لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا سَتُغْلَبُونَ وَتُحْشَرُونَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ ۚ وَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ))

"Say to those who disbelieve, "You will be overcome and gathered together to Hell, and wretched is the resting place." [Ali Imran: 12]
