Our hearts grieve deeply, shedding tears until they run dry, only to weep a river of blood. We only find that the Ummah is populated by mere sheep being herded by predatory wolves. We must turn to Allah. What wounds us most is not the action of our enemies, but the treachery and betrayal of our own.

If we were to read a historical account of a mere 5 million individuals overpowering and subjugating nearly a staggering 2 billion people, what kind of beings would one regard them as? Their degradation is beyond belief. The 2 billion are unable to break from the oppressive grip of these 5 million. We cannot consider them human beings, rather, they have been transformed into monkeys and pigs - humiliated.

These 2 trillion individuals today are witnessing an apartheid, dehumanisation, massacres and genocides that leave everything in ruins, spare nothing and no one, while they merely gather and watch and some even derive pleasure from such atrocities. Is this befitting of the nation of the great Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ?! The Ummah is meant to be one unified body, feeling the agony in unison, when even a single part is in distress, the entire body is restless.

Victory isn't achieved by participating in free-mixed protests, flaunting nationalistic flags, or through financial donations; the Ummah has ample resources. There are only two paths to victory:

1. Preparation and amassing more strength than your opponent, or
2. Preparation with piety and trust in Allah.

In our current state, with a great deplorable regret, we find that we have neither.

The state of affairs in the Ummah strikes painfully deep in our hearts, instilling profound sadness. One cannot help but feel that those who have returned to their Lord are better off than those left amidst the turmoil and distress. Watching the Ummah being torn apart sears through the heart. The Ummah has truly been engulfed in the love of the world.

There is an uncompromising principle in our religion; once a foe attacks and attempts to claim the Muslim land(s) or occupies it, it is incumbent upon every Muslim, irrespective of where they are, to rise in defense. That’s a unanimous consensus. There's a deep, intrinsic duty that binds us all, a responsibility towards the Muslim lands that must never be filled with Shirk.

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “The believer is a mirror to his faithful brother. He protects him against loss and defends him behind his back.”

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.” This is Islam - a selfless love, where we desire for others what we wish for ourselves. Islam is the religion of Allah and Allah vowed upon Himself that those who follow Islam and abide by His commands will be granted victory. That’s a duty incumbent He took upon Himself.
