Press Release
Muslims Are One Ummah That Islam Requires Them to Support the People of Gaza
Our Rulers Boast with the National Identity to Avoid Mobilizing Their Armies
(Translated)

In light of the escalating brutal and genocidal war perpetrated by the criminal Jewish entity in Gaza and the West Bank, with international support, led by America, and the complicity of Muslim rulers, particularly in the countries neighbouring Palestine, the voices of the people, their blood boiling, are rising in demonstrations and marches demanding the mobilization of the Ummah's armies in support of their brothers in Gaza. The ruling regimes, which have neglected the popular demands and preferred to confront them with repression, arrests, and trials, while claiming to uphold freedom of expression, are sensing the danger of these voices. They have exploited some individual voices that have condemned official inaction, amplifying them in the media and exploiting them emotionally, under the guise of undermining national identity, provoking the unified Muslim people, and diverting their attention from the barbaric enemy represented by the Jewish entity and its American backer.

The Prime Minister, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Senate, and a chorus of regime officials in Jordan, including writers and religious scholars, came out to talk about undermining the national identity and national institutions and insulting their honourable role. The Prime Minister said: “We will not allow plans and decisions to be marketed to us that are outside our national policies and goals, or to sacrifice our higher interests that are decided only by the state.”

The Speaker of the House of Representatives also said: “We will not allow anyone to touch the symbolism of the army.” This is an attempt by the political regime in Jordan, which is in crisis and in turmoil, to stifle the discourse that reveals its collusion with the Jewish entity and America when the Ummah as a whole, which is gripped by pain and a sense of its negligence for distancing itself from the command of its Lord, demands that it mobilize the armies, and even demand that it opens the borders for jihad in the way of Allah. By doing this, it is trying to hide behind the army that it is restraining from fighting the cowardly Jews, and is cunningly inciting its feelings. The people of Jordan trust their army and its combat capabilities, just as they trust its readiness to defend the Muslim lands and support their Muslim brothers in Palestine, and that is why they continue to motivate it and address it to move to support the people of Gaza and Palestine.

The Jordanian regime has pledged throughout its political history to recognize the Jewish entity under the Wadi Araba Agreement, not to fight it, and even to defend its eastern borders. It is also actively pursuing economic and security agreements with it, which have not ceased throughout its war on Gaza. On the other hand, the Jordanian regime deals with the United States through military, economic, and security cooperation and dependence, considering it a vital and important pillar of its national security, specifically its existential security. Ultimately, it finds itself in a dilemma on the one hand between, America's political demands for the displacement of the Palestinian people, the annexation of the West Bank to the Jews, and the destruction of Gaza, and its humiliating silence on what is happening in Gaza, except for aid that does not save lives, and colonial blackmail by halting annual American aid and development assistance. And on the other hand, it is under pressure from criticism and popular demands to support the people of Gaza by mobilizing armies, and even expelling American bases and canceling treaties with the Jewish entity. It always chooses to stand with the Jewish entity and American political demands, which undermine Jordan's existential entity.

Some voices that emanate from the reality of the political situation that Jordan has reached, to justify the inaction and acceptance of the status quo, have only reached this point because of the policy of the rulers and their subservience to the kafir Western colonizer, starting with Britain and ending with the reliance on America. Therefore, starting from reality as a basis for determining goals and objectives, the outcome of those who start from it is to identify with reality and keep pace with the times. They will not be spared the wrath of the Ummah for standing with the rulers in their loyalty to the Jews. We must not forget the determinants from which the Messenger of Allah (saw) started, which are called today the impossibilities, when He (saw) said:

«يا عَمُّ، واللهِ لَوْ وَضَعُوا الشَّمْسَ في يَمِينِي، والقَمَرَ في يَسَارِي عَلَى أَنْ أَتْرُكَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ حَتَّى يُظْهِرَهُ اللهُ أَوْ أَهْلِكَ فِيهِ، ما تَرَكْتُهُ»

“O uncle, by Allah, if they were to place the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left on the condition that I abandon this matter until Allah makes it manifest or I perish in it, I would not abandon it.”

O our People in Jordan... O Muslims

The official media and governmental calls, under deceptive, attractive titles and under the banner of Jordan's interests and our national goals, are only sincere if they are based on a divine Islamic system that applies all the rules of Islam. Not secular and excludes Islam from governance and denying it a role in our lives.

A vivid example of this is when the House of Representatives recently voted against adding the phrase "taking into account the rules of Islamic Sharia" to the draft law for the Jordanian National Commission for Women's Affairs, even though this does not make it an application of Shariah. Do not be intimidated by the multitude of misleading and discouraging preachers on social media and media platforms, who threaten you and invite for the call of the rulers. They are in ruins:

[إِنَّمَا ذَٰلِكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ يُخَوِّفُ أَوْلِيَاءَهُ فَلَا تَخَافُوهُمْ وَخَافُونِ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ]

“That ˹warning˺ was only ˹from˺ Satan, trying to prompt you to fear his followers. So do not fear them; fear Me if you are ˹true˺ believers” [Aal-i-Imran: 175].

O Muslims in Jordan:

Corruption can only be prevented by fulfilling prescribed duties, not by neglecting them. Jihad in the cause of Allah, even if it entails sacrifices and martyrs, is the only way to repel aggression and liberate the occupied Muslim lands, foremost among them is Al-Aqsa Mosque, Al-Quds and all of Palestine. Surrender and subordination to the status quo has brought calamities and woes to the Islamic Ummah, at the top of which is the absence of the Khilafah (Caliphate).

We, as Muslims, must have true belief in our hearts, demand that judgment be directed to Allah alone, and refrain from associating any man-made laws or human-made legislation with Allah (swt). We must believe in the power of Allah (swt) and not befriend anyone other than Him. We must be convinced that fighting the Jews of today and preparing for this fight is the only path to victory and empowerment.

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ انفِرُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ أَرَضِيتُم بِالْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الآخِرَةِ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فِي الآخِرَةِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلٌ * إِلاَّ تَنفِرُواْ يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَاباً أَلِيماً وَيَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْماً غَيْرَكُمْ وَلاَ تَضُرُّوهُ شَيْئاً وَاللهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ]

“O believers! What is the matter with you that when you are asked to march forth in the cause of Allah, you cling firmly to ˹your˺ land?1 Do you prefer the life of this world over the Hereafter? The enjoyment of this worldly life is insignificant compared to that of the Hereafter * If you do not march forth, He will afflict you with a painful torment and replace you with other people. You are not harming Him in the least. And Allah is Most Capable of everything” [At-Tawba: 38-39]
