Palestine Israel Conflict; Lessons for Muslims


The current crisis in Israel Gaza conflict is not new for Muslims. Islam rose from the Holy Land of Makkah as Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) announced his prophet hood in 610 AD and then all kinds of problems were thrown to him and his followers.The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) lived 23 years after first revelation in Cave Hira. He ﷺ migrated to Yathrib, Medina ur Rasool ﷺ and established the strong foot holds of an Islamic State in ten years’ time. He ﷺ was followed by his four Caliphs known as Rashidoon. Then after wards, kingship emerged among Muslim ranks.


In 1258 Capital of Abbasid King, Baghdad fell to Mongol force commanded by Hülegü Khan, a grandson of Genghis Khan. A small group of Muslims landed at Spain in 711 -720 AD and then ruled the Al-Andulas for next 700 years. A small period of Fatimid, political and religious dynasty functioned from Egypt (969-1171) and the next round of Muslim rule emerged from Turkey under Ottoman Empire which stared in 1299 AD and ended in 1923.

The Muslim history has many lessons and the current Israel Palestine conflict shall not be considered as a lone incident, although the oppressions and massacre may be on a wider and sinister scale. In the following two incidents of Muslim history are being presented as a morale booster for all the Muslims in general and the Gaza Muslims.

The above is a Bronze statue of Abrahim Ali Al Attar, warden of Loja who got shahadat in 1492 in the battle of Lucena. He was the commander of Arab Army of Granada, who defended the city and refused to surrender. He fought with only 100 Muslims against 65,000 soldiers of the Crusader Castile Army.

In an epic that impressed the crusader queen "Isabella" and her army commanders after enduring "Ibrahim Al-Attar" and his men for half a whole day for hours

So they called him legendary man, and they named their sons after him, and they made a statue for him in his memory, and they put his sword in the Granada Museum.

A true Muslim has two clear goals, he wins or he ends up in Jannah, which is ultimate objective of all Muslims.

 

Here in the following an other incident of Muslim History is being presented:-


The Tatars Mongols were a monster that emerged in early 1200 years who invaded the entire land at that time, and no nation was able to raise its head in the face of the Tatars. They reached farthest reaches, east and west, from Yemen, to the Hijaz, to Ethiopia, and to the bottom of Sudan.

 

The King, Sword of the Faith Qutuz', was an Egyptian leader and Mamluk Sultan of Egypt gathered the crowds and armies to confront Mongols at Ain Jalut. However, the hypocrites rose up among Muslim ranks. (Do you want to fight and kill the Tatars? What is your worth in relation to them? What are you in terms of their strength?

 

But the true believers remained steadfast, as the Qur’an is great faith enhancer. Approach it and consider in its Ayats. God Almighty will confirm it for us all. Allah Almighty has destined for Palestine to be a land of trials, a land of conquests, and a land of the tyrannical and patient people of God Almighty.

 

Qutuz advanced with the army that remained with him from his faithful group, and Baybars al-Zahir Baybars, a group of faithful soldiers, marched in front of him. They preceded Qutuz until the news reached the Tatars, and they were in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon, so they thought that the faction with which they would fight was close, so Qutuz moved from Nasiriyah in Sharqiyah Governorate today with the bus of armies, and set off to the north and marched towards the coast, then entered Rafah and set off for Khan Yunis itself until it marched into the center of Gaza itself today.

 

Baybars ordered the small party to march to the Tatar armies. He heard the Tatars say that there is still a group that raises its head. There is still a group that wants to fight to us. (The Jews think today about Gaza that how would any one raise his head? They have battleships, planes and tanks and will not allow anyone to remain as enemy and threaten to wipe them).

 

Yes, the Qutuz army moved quickly, and a small group met the great group of Tatars, and Tartars laugh. They thought, it was a play. They thought it was a half-hour party. They would eliminate them, so that the no nation would raise its head again.

The Muslims remained patient and waited for the right moment. Qutuz patient Mujahideen raised the flags, set out and surrounded Tartars in succession from all sides and killed them completely. My dear readers; not more than a hundred men returned back from the Tatars out of the one hundred and fifty thousand.

 

Today our enemy wants us to be psychologically defeated as they want to strike fear at our hearts. Do you know what happened in Aleppo and Baghdad? The battle in Ain Jalut is the same as the day the Romans advanced in Tiberias, in Yarmouk, in Beisan, and in Mujnadin. It is the same. The country is the same. The country is Ain Jalut, it is Hattin, it is the Jordan Valley, it is the same, it is Gaza, it is Rafah, it is Khan Yunis, it is Jabalia, it is the same there. Starting from this small spot, the first war began in Gaza. All the Tatar campaigners were killed and eliminated in Ain Jalut.

 

We defeated the Tatars at Ain Jalut before defeating this army of the Pampers. We broke this dome that they planted in our hearts more than forty, sixty-six, seventy-three, and eighty-three years ago.

This Israel is the fourth most powerful army in the world and it has been made in a small way. This is how a Muslim fights? We say “ALLAH is great”. Raise your heads. Rejoice, and I do not call you hypocrites and informers. We are the nation of Mansoura. And Gaza will have something to come after it, God willing.

O Brothers of Islam, we will be victorious if we remain steadfast as Quran says “So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be superior (in victory) if you are indeed (true) believers. Verse 139 AL Imran


And Quran has rendered a clear line of action for us All in Sorah AL-Anfal Verse 73


With all this, [remember that] those who are bent on denying the truth are allies of one another; and unless you act likewise [among yourselves], oppression will reign on earth, and great corruption.”
