AL-YAWM AL-QUDS
These are Allah’s words
We have decreed in the book upon the Children of Isra’eel- that you will cause havoc on earth twice (Surah Al-Isra’ verse 4)
Let us approach these meanings with composure, thinking minds and with the facts of the world around us. We are told by people who speak into our heads night and day and through the mass media around- they have plenty of channels to communicate their misinformation. They tell us that the Israelis stand for peace and they want to live just like everyone else. We compare this barrage of statements coming from yahudi sources- through yahudi and non-yahudi channels- (number one), with the facts of life and we realise that these yahudis, these Zionist Israelis are a factor (if not the main factor) in the warfare against, us the committed Muslims when it comes to aggressive wars in our countries and among our people. How can you- thinking Muslim- square the facts of life with the propaganda that seeks to display or exhibit the Israelis and the Zionists as people who are out for peace in this world? They launch wars- how many times in our (how old are we? 40, 50 maybe 60 years old?)- in these limited years that we have, how many times have we been subject to the acts, instigations, and launching of war and the effects of bloody warfare policy that they lurk behind? It is historical, timely and current that their hands are plotting, instigating and pulling the trigger in the wars of 1947, 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1982 and 2006. Allah says
Allah has ordained in His registrar that you- the Children of Isra’eel- shall cause chaos, global corruption in the history of man twice. (Surah Al-Isra’ verse 4)
Do we not see that the contemporary intrigue, the high positions and the deep penetration of Bani Isra’eel into the power structure of this world as a fulfilment of the meaning of this ayah? We have no time to go into the historical character and details of Bani Isra’eel- suffice it in the context that we are in and the occasion we are honouring- this day of Al-Quds in the world- to look at the criminals of Zionism in the world. We may part for a moment- because Allah’s wisdom is yet to be apprehended- we have some of our brothers (we repeat, we don’t know how or why) who have been contaminated with a percentage of fear (we are trying to calibrate our words). These brothers have become afraid to speak the truth. Why? What’s wrong? If there’s a government around us or some forces and powers who deem it against the law to speak the truth- well, come-on, tell us; we welcome your frankness and candidness if you come and say that it is against the law to speak the truth. When that becomes the law of the land, we will deal with that issue that time. But there’s no law. We know of no law, precedent, regulation or procedure that tells us we cannot express the truth as we see it. Why (we address ourselves) have we encountered some individuals who are afraid to combine some words together? They are afraid to say in public- just like we are saying here, we have nothing to hide- people who have something to hide are criminals; there’s something up their sleeve and that’s why they hide themselves and their words. We have nothing to hide! If we have to combine words together to express a fact, then we will do that. Hence, we will say “criminal Zionists” and “Zionist criminals”- because that’s the fact of the matter. How do we define or describe crooks, criminals, hoodlums and hooligans who have planned and plotted the theft of a country? We’re not speaking about a simple thief who steals a car or even a building; we are speaking about an organised crime syndicate called Zionists who have stolen a country and then we have Muslims who are afraid to say the Zionists have stolen a people’s country. They didn’t do that with skill or style; when they stole Palestine, they rendered millions of Palestinians without any homes and without a homeland. How thuggish do want criminals to be for you (whoever is inflicted with this false fear) or how much does it take for a criminal to be a criminal for you to speak the truth? They steal a country, and not any country- this is a Holy country. They didn’t go to a remote area of the world, they went to the centre of the world and then they stole it from its rightful and legal occupants- historically and currently. They did this with the whole world watching and they cowed the materialistic proportion of this world- people who are looking for a dollar and begging for a livelihood- these are the ones they cowed into silence and submission. In the meantime, they victimise not only the Palestinians, but the Muslims. (Take a) look at them today. (Take a) look at the Zionist political and military war criminals. They are scurrying the earth (and) going from country to country (and) speaking to this official and that official. What’s on the Zionist mind? They are disturbed and they are loosing sleep. Why? Because independent Muslims are building their military prowess. Independent Muslims are no longer relying on Zionist or indirect Zionist sources for their military power, economic staying power or for their political clout. These Zionist yahudis look around and they identify- believe us brothers and sisters, they know who’s who- a Muslim who is a true Muslim in his heart and mind; not the second-hand, sickerphant and inferior Muslim- all of these are in the Zionist pocket and they perform their pilgrimage to the Zionist banks. They look at the Muslims who have stood out of this historical rubble and this contemporary ruin and they see there are Muslims in Iran, Lebanon and Occupied Palestine who are no longer willing to take orders from the Zionist dummies and the Zionist puppets. We don’t say this as a matter of exaggeration or hyperbole, we say this as a matter of trying to describe the accurate facts. How long has this Palestinian issue been in the possession of what we may call Arabian governments, regimes and administrations (in Arab countries) who have been taking this Palestinian issue in and out of the international forums for the pass half century. They have been begging and pleading for the Palestinians in the United Nations. During the time of the Cold War- the polarisation between Washington and Moscow- they were trying to play one side against the other and at the end of the day, they tell us- the Muslims- we are doing this for the cause of the Palestinians and we went from one military debacle to the next. In the 1940’s, a string of these official Arabian beseechment policies with imperialist and communists and now they come…These Arabian officials around- some of them go into this Masjid, because it happens to be on Embassy Road- some of them are no longer ashamed to say “yes, we will meet with Zionist officials and establish diplomatic relations with the Zionist state.” In a Muslim’s vocabulary, that is like establishing diplomatic relations with Ash-Shaytaan himself. We know (that) the government in Egypt, Jordan, a couple of these governments in the Arabian Peninsula and a couple of these governments in Northern Africa have buddy-buddy diplomatic relations with this Zionist Shaytaani state. Brothers and sisters- we want to say this as a matter of clearing our conscience: for a long time Muslims have been fooled by the government in Saudi Arabia. Some Muslims think that this government represents Islam. The fact of the matter is that this government in Riyadh and Jeddah does not represent Islam, the Qur’an or the Shariah. Some of these officials have been meeting with these butchers of Muslims. One of the buried details of history- when the Israelis occupied Palestine in the Gulf of Aqaba, there is Saudi territory there and the Israelis occupied this Saudi territory. Because it’s minute and minuscule, no one talks about it. (Take a) look at what the difference is! There is Saudi territory that is occupied by the Israelis and the Saudis and their masters in Washington want to bury this fact and there is a small territory that is occupied by the Israelis in Southern Lebanon- Mazari’a Shib’a- the Farms of Shib’a and the Muslim-Islamic resistance in Lebanon is not silent about this occupation! Compare and contrast the Muslims in Lebanon with those who camera and camouflage themselves with Islam in Arabia. (Take a) look, brothers and sisters, today’s Yaum Al-Quds- the last day of Jum’ah in Ramadhan- the Israeli government has virtually barricaded all entrances into Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa. It was expected that this year, millions of Muslims will congregate in Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa from all around the occupied territories and then we have the Israelis block all accesses to Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa. We ask you- brothers and sisters, committed Muslims- what is the difference between this Israeli act and the Saudi act here in Washington DC. They tell us “we cannot go into this Masjid.” This is a Masjid and Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa is a Masjid and the Israelis and the Saudis are acting equivalent to each other. This has been going on for 23-and-a-half years- you cannot see the Israeli character in the Saudi thawb?! You cannot see how Israel and Saudi Arabia are acting in tandem with each other. This is the climax of the Israeli destructive role in the globe, in the world, which is inclusive of the meanings of the ayah.
We have decreed in the book upon the Children of Isra’eel- that you will cause havoc on earth twice (Surah Al-Isra’ verse 4)
How much more substance do you want to this facade in Al-Ardh than to have the Israeli interest’s cloaked in Saudi policies? What is our (the Committed Muslims) sin and crime that the Saudi Arabian government has taken the fuse out of Makkah? This is the month of Ramadhan and Allah’s Prophet says from one salaat al-Jum’ah to the next (and) from one Ramadhan to the next is an atonement for sins as long as the cardinal sins themselves are avoided. Why do we have these Jum’ahs the way that they are defined by the syndicates of this global crime system that has taken over these Masajid and told us- the Muslims- you cannot speak about these ayaat in the Qur’an in the context of the facts, developments, issues and affairs of our current world? Where did this come from? This is the height of Israeli yahudi policies of destruction and corruption on earth. They take all of this away from us and they want us to be secular Muslims- “oh you can’t speak about politics what.” We can’t speak about politics?! What are these ayaat in the Qur’an? When Allah says
We have decreed in the book upon the Children of Isra’eel- that you will cause havoc on earth twice (Surah Al-Isra’ verse 4)
Is this not a political ayah par excellance? And the ayaat go on… We are not looking at one isolated ayah in the Qur’an, we have hundreds of ayaat in the Qur’an that speak to us about these issues around us today. Aren’t these (sequence of) ayaat describing and detailing for us the political, ideological, military and procedural developments that we are subject to? Brothers and sisters- this is not theory, these are not hypothetical ayaat; these ayaat are nourished and solidified by what is happening around us in the world, so why do we have preachers and false Muslims who come and tell us “No- don’t speak about theses ayaat in the House of Allah!” These are Allah’s ayaat- if we can’t express the ayaat of Allah in the House of Allah how good are we?

Is this Israeli false superiority going to continue until the end of time? We have an abundance of information available to us- it is not going to continue; it is going to come to an end- and it is beginning to come to that end. We can see and feel the venerability of this malignant cancerous military and political occupation of the Holy Land. What is it going to take? Do we need the advanced weaponry, armoury and arsenal that our enemies have? No! It’s not going to need that and the proof was presented to us just a few months ago. What did Hezbollah have? Did they have sophisticated fighter bombers? Did they have sub-marines in the Mediterranean across the Palestinian coast? Did they have satellites in space? Did they have nuclear technology or weapons of mass destruction? They didn’t have any of that- not one shred or fibre of it, yet what they did have was a principled commitment to Allah that if and when they face this Israeli Zionist enemy, they will do so with all their heart with every scintilla of energy in them and they will not be intimidated or terrorised by a nuclear Zionist Israeli nation state, whatever military gizmos it may have. Throughout almost five weeks what did they do to you and to me? They proved that all it is going to take is a resolute, unshakable determination to fight against this enemy and the enemy is still living the consequences of that debacle in South Lebanon. You can refer to the details of that in articles and journals by writers and researchers. The out come of it is that for the 1st time the Israeli population- all of these Zionist occupants of the Holy Land- felt for the 1st time that their day of reckoning has approached. What do you say about 1-1,5million of them who left Northern Palestine during those weeks of war or were hiding themselves deep down in their war shelters? What are we talking about? The Hezbollah force- only thousands of Muslims in Lebanon… imagine if there were only millions of Muslims around this occupied territory. Imagine what they would be able to do if they were fighting in the spirit of this Islamic resistance- Israel would seize to exist and it is seizing to exist.

This Prime Minister of theirs, was on a political journey to Moscow. What is he doing there? He is trying to convince the government in Russia not to be forthcoming in its military relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran. When the Israeli Prime Minister himself goes on a mission like that, that means that Israeli subordinates are failing. The ruling class in the United States, France, Britian, Germany and in other European countries were trying to abort the build up of relevant technology in the Islamic State in Iran and they were failing. Now, comes out of his shell the Israeli Prime Minister to try to do the job himself. They are at the end of their rope. Then, we have some people who say that (these people obviously are not Muslims- these are Christians or jews) this Israel is the Israel of the bible. It is not the Israel of the bible. A very small detail of our current affairs would tell them that. They don’t want to take a look at what this Israeli army is doing in killing innocent children, bombing people in their homes, raiding families in the middle of the night, confiscating the water resource of farmers and labourers in Palestine, imposing all types of restrictions trying to kill the Palestinians by a thousand moves- if they cannot see that, and some of these Evangelicals unfortunately cannot see that- (take) a look at a simple fact right now that has reared its head out of this Israeli mess. It appears that the President of Israel, not the Prime Minister, is guilty of rape. We don’t know the further details to this, but can there be a biblical state whose President is a rapist? A simple moral fraction of a detail presented to these Evangelicals who say that this Israel is the Israel of the bible. That’s what we have, these are the facts that are staring at us in the eye. The only thing we have to do is open our eyes and don’t be smothered by this fear that has crept into some individuals here and there. Remember- Yaum Al-Quds some years ago- there were other participants in it who were wearing the same clothes that this speaker is wearing. We look around- just take a look- where are they? What happened? Is it their diplomacy has gotten us this far? They’ve been beating the path of diplomacy; they are working on one channel and those who are dedicated to Allah- who we have seen in Lebanon and those who are behind the scenes who are developing the necessary wherewithal in the Islamic state- the world takes notice of who? These diplomatic types or is it taking notice of those who are dedicated to Allah- the unknown ibaad, the unknown soldiers?!

Dear brothers and sisters, committed Muslims…
It is (as it appears), the will of Allah that Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, the 1st Qibla and the 3rd Haram are the measuring stick or yard of who we are? We have Islamic administrations, organisations, parties and personalities, but are they really up to par? The only way to gage that is how do they perform regarding this Holy Land issue? We have seen the hard work, tears, sweat and blood in certain sacrifices and jihad as was demonstrated in Lebanon and Palestine. Maybe some of you may not know- the information we have obtained to do to show you… During the war in Lebanon in July and August, those 30-odd days, Sayyed Hasan Nasrullah was observing a fast- the same fast that we are observing in Ramadhan. He was observing this fast in the three months that preceded or came before Ramadhan. Not only was he in the ritual sense very sensitive with his relationship with Allah, (but) he was also demonstrating this character in pursuing this war to its end- which he managed to do with the help and support of Allah- we can only say that. On the Palestinian side, (some of you may also not know), the elected Prime Minister of the Palestinians- Sayyed Ismael Haniyyah. He’s the Prime Minister- we guess we all know that- but maybe one detail that we don’t know is that he continues to live in Ash-Shati’ refugee camp. He lives just like the rest of the refugees. (He’s) probably the only Prime Minister in the history of the world who lives with his neighbours, family and people in a refugee camp. Compare these two individuals (and there are others) with those who classify themselves as the Islamic types and they are beating a trail to Washington, Europe and eventually to Tel Aviv. Some of them who have an Islamic background find themselves shaking hands with Zionist or imperialist officials. Can we say that Nasrullah and Haniyyah are like these others?! Do we have to name these others or do you know them very well? If you don’t, it’s about time you begin to familiarise yourself so that you can distinguish a sincere, devout, dedicated and principled Muslim from those who are trying to use this Islam, this Qur’an and this Prophet for their own purposes?
