O Soldiers of the Kinana: In What Manner Will You Meet Allah and What Disgrace Have You Put Upon Yourselves?!
(Translated)

Egypt condemned in the strongest terms the military operations of the occupation in the Palestinian city of Rafah. It also considered, in a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday, that this dangerous escalation threatens the lives of more than a million Palestinians who depend primarily on this crossing as it is the main lifeline of the Gaza Strip, and the safe outlet for the wounded and sick to exit to receive treatment, and for the entry of humanitarian and relief aid to the Palestinian brothers and sisters in Gaza. Egypt called on the Jewish entity to exercise the utmost levels of restraint, and to stay away from a policy of brinksmanship that has long-term impact, and which would threaten the fate of the strenuous efforts being made to reach a sustainable truce inside the Gaza Strip. Egypt also called on all influential international parties to intervene and exert the necessary pressure to defuse the current crisis and allow diplomatic efforts to achieve their desired results. This came hours after the occupation army announced yesterday its control of the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, despite the Hamas movement announcing the day before yesterday evening its approval of a proposal submitted by Egypt and Qatar for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. (Al-Ahram, May 8, 2024 CE).

While our people are being killed in Palestine, a stone's throw away from their brothers in the Kinana army, where they hear the sounds of their calls for help and the cries of their children, and while they are besieged by the brother and the enemy, the Egyptian regime issues a statement denouncing and condemning the operations of the Jewish entity in Rafah and its control over the crossing, as if the regime is not besieging Gaza and its people and does not participate with the usurper entity slaughtering them! Then he continues to comply with the plans of his masters in the White House, calling on all influential international parties to intervene and exert the necessary pressure to defuse the current crisis, and allow diplomatic efforts to achieve their desired results! Only diplomacy, while the Jews are killing and burning our people in the Blessed Land and destroying their homes above them, without paying any attention to those desired diplomatic efforts that the regime talks about, which did not talk about diplomatic efforts in Libya, but rather supported America’s agent there with all kinds of support in service of America’s interests and in an effort to extend its influence there. But here in the Blessed Land, America’s plans are different, and the Jews are stubborn in accepting them and submitting to them, and they exhaust America to go with them in what they want, and America makes its agents a shield that protects the Jews from the wrath of the peoples and armies, and forces them to shackle those armies so that no one emerges from among then who will become angry and hurt the usurping entity and the Egyptian regime implicitly is in fact the first guard of this usurping entity and its most important armour that protects it from the nation and the most important part of its true iron dome which consists of those regimes that rule our country with iron and fire and prevent it from supporting our people in the blessed land and liberating the entire land of Islam there.

The issue of Palestine is not in Rafah nor in its crossing, which was controlled by the Jews. Rather, it is the issue of an entire Ummah whose land is being usurped and whose people are humiliated in full view of its armies stationed in its barracks, some of which are a stone’s throw away. What disgrace befalls these people, and in what way do they meet Allah Almighty, when they are responsible before Him, about it and the obligation of liberating it and fully supporting its people?!

O Soldiers of the Kinana: Your duty is to liberate all of Palestine, support its oppressed people, and lift injustice against them, and uproot everything that prevents you from this duty, including the evil regimes and rulers. So what are you going to do?! By Allah, these rulers will not benefit you and will not bear for you a single scourge of Hellfire before Allah, so do not listen to them or obey them in disobeying Allah, and what sin is greater than abandoning your brothers in the Blessed Land! Have you not heard the words of the Messenger of Allah (saw): «مَا مِنْ امْرِئٍ يَخْذُلُ امْرَأً مُسْلِماً فِي مَوْضِعٍ تُنْتَهَكُ فِيهِ حُرْمَتُهُ وَيُنْتَقَصُ فِيهِ مِنْ عِرْضِهِ إِلَّا خَذَلَهُ اللهُ فِي مَوْطِنٍ يُحِبُّ فِيهِ نُصْرَتَهُ، وَمَا مِنْ امْرِئٍ يَنْصُرُ مُسْلِماً فِي مَوْضِعٍ يُنْتَقَصُ فِيهِ مِنْ عِرْضِهِ وَيُنْتَهَكُ فِيهِ مِنْ حُرْمَتِهِ إِلَّا نَصَرَهُ اللهُ فِي مَوْطِنٍ يُحِبُّ نُصْرَتَهُ»“No (Muslim) man will desert a man who is a Muslim in a place where his respect may be violated and his honour aspersed without Allah deserting him in a place here he wishes his help; and no (Muslim) man who will help a Muslim in a place where his honour may be aspersed and his respect violated without Allah helping him in a place where he wishes his help.” Where is your response to the cries of the bereaved, the women, and the elderly? Where is your response to the cries of the bereaved, women, and elderly? Where are your followers of the Messenger of Allah (saw), who announced the general mobilization and set out to conquer Mecca in victory for Khuza’a and said: “You have been victorious, O Amr bin Salem.” And said: “Allah will not grant me victory if I do not help Banu Ka’b”?! Where are you regarding Al-Mu'tasim, whom one woman asked for help and he responded to support it and open Amoria to give victory it?! So where are you among the thousands of women who seek your help and the sheikhs who seek your help and the children who call you from behind the fence and walls, “for the sake of Allah, O Egyptian”?! The screams where people have awakened pride in the fair people all over the world, and they passed by you as if you had not heard them, and they are your brothers and sisters and family! So where is your sense of duty? Where is your faith and Islam? Where is your charity that you rant about?! By Allah, you have no excuse today, and your shame will not be erased! Not even by blood!

O Soldiers of al-Kinana, O Best of Soldiers: Goodness is not a badge, but rather a trust that you will be asked about, and only those who carry the banner of the Messenger of Allah (saw) deserve it. Mujahideen for the sake of Allah, supporting the oppressed, obedient to Allah, His Messenger, and His Deen. There is no obedience for them above obedience to Allah and His Messenger, and they have no obedience to rulers who take orders from the West, implement its systems, implement its colonial projects, and prevent them from liberating the Ummah’s sanctities and supporting the oppressed within them. These are the ones who truly deserve goodness. So Are you one of them? Answer yourselves before Allah Almighty asks you, and rise up in support of Allah, His Messenger, and His Deen, and uproot this monstrous entity from its roots and everyone who comes between you and it and prevents you from uprooting it from the rulers of evil and betrayal. It is the trust of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, so preserve it and be its people a shield for this Ummah, its protectors and supporters of the oppressed within it, upholding its religion and its worldly life. If you do not do so and violate the sanctities of the Ummah and desecrate its sanctities as is happening now, then there is no good in you and no honor for you, so show Allah what He loves from you, and show Him that you are worthy of this goodness by carrying the banner of the Messenger of Allah (saw) in the best manner and supporting the oppressed as he did, to liberate the land of Islam that is being usurped by the Jews and to support the people of the Blessed Land whose sanctities are being violated. And know that your duty is to remove everything that would prevent you from doing what Allah has enjoined upon you on the grounds that “Any obligation that can not be completed without a specific matter becomes an obligation.” So remove this regime that brings shame upon you and participates in and protects the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and establish it for Allah as a state that raises armies for the sake of Allah, for the truth and supporting its people; the Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly Guided Caliphate) upon the method of the Prophethood. Be angry, O Soldiers of the Kinana, and let your anger be a sign that establishes the truth with the words of Allah and cuts off the path of the criminals.

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ]

“O believers! Respond to Allah and His Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life.” [Al-Anfal:24]
