It is Upon the Armies of Muslims to Uproot the Rulers,
Re-establish the Khilafah Rashidah and Mobilize in Support of Gaza

It is upon the armies of the Muslims to mobilize in support of Gaza, so that they side with the Islamic Ummah, in its support of Gaza. The beloved Messenger of Allah (saw) said,

«الْمُسْلِمُونَ كَرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ إِنْ اشْتَكَى عَيْنُهُ اشْتَكَى كُلُّهُ» “The Muslims are like one body, if its eye is in pain, the entire body is in pain.” [Muslims]. Indeed, the Muslims have tried their best in whatever way that is available to them, despite facing many hardships themselves. The Muslims have strictly boycotted companies that are dealing with the Jewish entity, causing them billions of dollars’ worth of losses. Its youth have rejected the opportunity for well-paid jobs with such companies, despite the wide unemployment. The Muslims have worked tirelessly to raise awareness, regarding the suffering of the Muslims of Gaza, in the face of restrictions on social media. The Muslims have collected large amounts of funds to help the Muslims of Gaza, in any way they can, despite the crippling poverty they face. Throughout the Islamic World, the Muslims are protesting against the rulers of the Muslims, defying their tyranny, threats, thugs and tear gas. So is it not upon the armies of Muslims to side with the Muslims in their support of Gaza?

It is upon the armies of the Muslims to uproot the criminal rulers of the Muslims, who have sided with the Jewish entity. The rulers of Muslims have criminally neglected their duty to support Gaza, even though they collectively command over three million Muslim military troops. Worse, the rulers are sparing no effort in securing the survival of the Jewish entity, whether they are near Gaza, or far. As for the rulers of Arabs, they supply the Jews with fuel for its tanks and fighter planes, whilst they fire tear gas at the Muslims that protest against their treachery. As for the ruler of the Turks, he continues to trade with the Zionist enemy, sending ships with essential supplies. As for the rulers of Pakistan, they are preventing the strongest Muslim army in the world from eradicating the Jewish entity, whilst promoting America’s “two-state solution,” which surrenders most of Palestine to the Jewish occupation. On 23 November 2023, according to the media wing of the military, in its press release PR-196/2023-ISPR, the military leadership, “reiterated Pakistan’s principled stance supporting the two-state solution.” So is it not upon the armies of Muslims, to uproot these rulers at the height of their crimes?

It is upon the armies of Muslims to re-establish the Khilafah (Caliphate), which is the shield of the Muslims in Gaza and outside of Gaza. Our beloved Messenger of Allah (saw) said,

«إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ» “Indeed, the Imam is a shield. The Muslims fight from behind him and are protected by him.” [Bukhari]. It was the Khilafah Rashidah of Umar al-Farooq (ra) that opened Palestine to Islam. It was the Khilafah that sent Salahudin to liberate Palestine form occupation. It was the Khilafah of Abdul-Hameed II that rejected the Zionist attempts in 18 May 1901 to buy land in Palestine, whilst he declared, “I cannot give up a single inch of the land of Palestine, for it is not my property, but rather the property of the Islamic Ummah. My people fought for this land and watered it with their blood. Now, the Ummah does not have the shield of the Khilafah. Instead, it has rulers that are shields for the enemies of Muslims, and swords against Muslims. So is it not upon the armies of Muslims, to grant their Nussrah (material support) for the re-establishment of the Khilafah Rashidah?

O Muslims of Pakistan! This Ramadan, we must demand that our armies re-establish the Khilafah and mobilize for Gaza. We must remind each military officer that we know of the huge reward that awaits the warrior who grants his material support for re-establishing ruling by Islam. We must remind them of Sa’ad ibn Muadh (ra), who granted his Nussrah to the Prophet (saw) to secure ruling by Islam in al-Madinah al-Munawwarah. We must remind them of the Janazah of Sa’ad. The Prophet (saw) explained the lightness of the body of Sa’ad at his Janaza,

«ما يمنعه أن يخفَّ وقد هبط من الملائكة كذا وكذا لم يهبطوا قط قبل يومه قد حملوا معكم»

“Nothing made his body lighter, but it was such and such number of angels who descended and carried him along with you. Those angels had never before descended.” [Narrated in Tabaqat, by ibn Sa’ad.]. We must remind them of the good news that the Prophet (saw) gave the grieving mother of Sa’ad,

«ليرقأ (لينقطع) دمعك، ويذهب حزنك، فإن ابنك أول من ضحك الله له واهتز له العرش»

“Your tears would recede and your sorrow be lessened if you know that your son is the first person for whom Allah (swt) smiled and His throne trembled.” [Narrated in at-Tabarani]

O Muslims of the Armed Forces! Is there any greater military service than that of Saad ibn Muadh (ra)? He gave Nussrah for the establishing of ruling by all that Allah (swt) has revealed. He was victorious over the enemies. Angels were sent down to carry his body at his Janazah. Allah (swt) smiled and His Throne shook upon receiving his soul. Embrace the words of Sa’d bin Mu’adh (ra) at the Battle of Badr, when he said to the Messenger of Allah (saw) in clear, resolute words, "فوالذي بعثك، لو استعرضت بنا هذا البحر فخضته لخضناه معك، وما تخلَّف منا رجل واحد، وما نكره أن تلقى بنا عدونا غداً. إنا لصبر في الحرب، صدق في اللقاء. لعل الله يريك منا ما تَقَرُّ به عينك، فسر بنا على بركة الله" “By He who sent you, if you were to ask us to cross this sea and you plunge into it, we would plunge into it with you. Not a man would stay behind. We do not dislike the idea of meeting our enemy tomorrow. We are experienced in war, capable of fighting. It may well be that Allah will let us show you something which will bring you joy, so take us along with Allah’s blessing.” Revive the spirit of Badr in your souls and mobilize.
