Muslim World continues to play its part as a silent spectator on the matter of oppression on Palestinians by Israel
By Zoya Ali
For the last 75 years, Palestinians are suffering because Israel in 1948 illegally occupied their land and at that time all the Muslim countries witnessed this unjust act of Israel backed by America most of them didn’t do anything. After that, they attacked them many times in 1948–49, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1982, and 2006 and humiliated them and as a result on the 7th of October 2023 in order to protect the rights of Palestinians and to bring peace to their land Hamas attacked Israel. Do you think there would be no retaliation to all that violence?
When we can clearly see that Hamas is just targeting Israeli army not their civilians while on the other side Israeli army killed 5000 innocent civilians including women and children in vast majority. What they are doing is called genocide and also doing ethnic cleansing at the same time, bombing children using phosphorus bombs which are melting and destroying the bodies of children, bombing the hospitals, schools, mosques, churches and even bakeries there.
After all this today when the hospitals in Gaza need fuel cylinders and being too close to Saudi Arabia whom Allah has given so much oil resources, they can help them but they are silently watching instead. Indeed they have sold their souls to the dollar bills but 57 Islamic countries in the world are just saying western world should do something, united nations should do something! Why don’t you do something yourselves? Didn’t Allah gave you power so you help his people in need?
At the end I will say no matter who you are but if you see someone in need and have the capacity to help them and still not help then you will certainly be held responsible for it. They could only warn to stop the export of the oil resources! Everyone who only does the talking is complicit in this genocide!
Why are you so blind and silent, Oh Muslim leaders, we are indeed ashamed to have leaders like you! Ours hearts feel the pain and our heads are bowed in shame and we are frustrated by our inability to help.
وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ ٢١
Do not be like those who say, “We hear,” but in fact they are not listening.
۞ إِنَّ شَرَّ ٱلدَّوَآبِّ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلصُّمُّ ٱلْبُكْمُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ ٢٢
Indeed, the worst of all beings in the sight of Allah are the ˹willfully˺ deaf and dumb, who do not understand.
وَٱتَّقُوا۟ فِتْنَةًۭ لَّا تُصِيبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مِنكُمْ خَآصَّةًۭ ۖ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ ٢٥
Beware of a trial that will not only affect the wrongdoers among you. And know that Allah is severe in punishment.
