How heavy these days are for anyone with a modicum of allegiance to his nation. The current hardship is indeed intense. Whoever ruminates over what should be done will trivialize their contribution. And whoever just keeps thinking about  what is beyond our capacities will feel hopeless and crippled.

There is no exit from this despair after exerting everything in our hands except by the true and diligent efforts in the back rows filling the gaps and completing the deficiencies in preparation for the next round, along with unwavering certainty in Allah’s promise. The one whom Allah guides to achieve that will be filled with fervor and determination, and despair cannot infiltrate his heart, by the Will of Allah

Whoever among our scholars goes astray resembles the Jews; and whoever among our devout goes astray resembles the Christians...

Voices saying: "These non-Muslim activists who support Gaza are better than this negligent Muslim nation,"** — stated as a blanket generalization, are getting louder.

Repeating such statements reinforces a sense of lost virtue within the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ, as though our nation has become inferior to others, and as though the presence or absence of Islam has no bearing on a person's moral worth. This also entails an unfair generalization. As our Prophet ﷺ said:
"Whoever says, 'The people are ruined,' he is the most ruined among them."

There is no doubt that many who claim to belong to Islam are disengaged from the concerns of their Ummah and care only for their desires. These are like the scum carried by a flood.

And there is no doubt that some falsely affiliate themselves with the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ while actively participating in the oppression of their brothers and sisters. These individuals are disavowed by the Ummah, and the Ummah is disavowed by them.

But on the other hand, it is unjust to ignore the immense good that is systematically silenced, suffocated, and suppressed:

How many within this Ummah have living hearts, who stood with Gaza, sacrificed, and ended up imprisoned, humiliated, and handed long sentences — causing deep suffering to their children, spouses, and parents?

How many have taken to the streets in protests and demonstrations, or donated generously — donations sufficient to support entire countries, not just Gaza?

How many doctors, aid workers, and journalists risked their lives, left behind a life of ease, to provide medical care to their brothers and sisters or to report on their suffering?

How many scholars and preachers from our Ummah were imprisoned after the Arab revolutions, with tens of thousands languishing behind bars — mourned by those who once knew them, then forgotten by all but a few? Yet they had remarkable contributions and widespread good.

How many among our people wake up and sleep in pain and anguish over their brothers’ conditions, with a sincere willingness to sacrifice — if only a path were available?

Yes, some expressions of despair toward the Ummah and praise of others may come from a place of sincere pain and heartbreak. But pain should not lead us to distort fundamental truths, disparage our Ummah, or question its God-given worth.

We deeply appreciate the stance taken by many non-Muslim activists who stand with our people in Gaza. We pray that Allah guides them and opens their hearts to Islam — for we desire good for them just as they have shown good to our brothers and sisters.

And we must continue, as Muslims, to stand firm in our support — by every possible means — without succumbing to despair or engaging in destructive self-criticism that only weakens us further.

We ask Allah to deal justly with anyone who obstructs support for our brothers and sisters, both in this world and the next. And we ask Him to enable us to support them in a way that earns His pleasure.

“Fight in the Cause of Allah, you are not tasked except for yourself, and incite the believers...” [Qur'an Translated Meaning 4:84]

This Ayah is very important because it combines both aspects of responsibility.

Fight in the cause of Allah: this is your responsibility towards Islam and Muslims.
And incite the believers: encourage them to fight alongside you.

But, you are only responsible for yourself.

Debts are not merely monetary!
A debt could be a kind word in a moment of collapse
Or sympathy in a monent of grief
Or support in a moment of weakness
Or guidance in a moment of loss
Or a hug in a moment of consolation
Or patting on the shoulder in a moment of vulnerability
It is okay not to repay those debts; however, it is disgraceful to forget them.

In the past, Allah awakened His creation through messengers and prophets. Today, He awakens them with disasters, earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods. If those warnings achieve nothing with them, He casts them into massacres and wars, where they devour each other and annihilate each other.

And the wars of the future, wars of annihilation, will consume everything, leaving thriving cities in utter ruin.

Nothing is stagnant in your life. Every moment you spend is from your time balance. It is your choice to either spend it in a profitable deal by buying knowledge and action, or let it go in vain by acting as a bystander watching idly in a losing deal.

Preachers differ in their methods of reminding people. Some use stories and parables, others mention terrors, and some use stern voices. Yet, the most honorable of all is to awaken hearts with the Quran. Have you not seen that Allah says about His Prophet what can be translated as, "Say, 'I only warn you by revelation...'"

There is a time when you feel estranged from people, and silence overwhelms you, despite being eloquent. It is as if you're a stranger! That is the feeling that Ka'b described: 'The earth has become unrecognizable to me!' You look up at the sky and then lower your gaze, yet you're looking from within your heart. Your chest tightens with its needs, but Allah will fulfill them!
