Imtiaz Sooliman – Aleppo SYRIA 2016

The topic I will speak to you is a situation in Syria. I'm back here

again after three years, knowing the crisis that's taking place

here taking place there. Sorry, but I'm not going to go through

that whole speech again. I'm just going to raise certain pertinent

points to make us understand and to reflect and to raise our own

opinion.

The Muslims world over have been confused about the war in Syria.

There's

propaganda machines working from all sides, and people are saying,

there's agendas, there's all kind of politics interests. There's a

proxy war between different countries. But let's make our own

assessment. Let's take Aleppo as an example, in the last four to

five days, you know, there's a total massacre taking place in

Aleppo.

Let's assume we don't know who is right and who is wrong, but let's

judge by the actions salaam Ayub, when he went to war against

enormousness, when the generals were injured on the other side, he

stopped the war

to allow the generals to heal before he can fight them again. He

was a Kurd, but the principle of wars he stopped here. It's

supposed to be muslims fighting fellow Muslim

in the month of ran over 12. Was on Monday, some celebrated Sunday

night. It doesn't matter, but month of Rabbi Owen, we all claim

we follow the Holy Prophet saws. We all say we are lovers of the

Holy Prophet saws. From We all say we are believers in order to

emulate the Holy Prophet Saul. Yet in his month, in his birth, you go

and you massacre people and you stay terrorists. What terrorists

are you massacring?

Our hospital in Serbia is a witness that the only people are

massacring are women and children who don't have the right to defend

themselves, have nowhere to stand by them, and the Muslim world has

left them alone. Forget the Western world. It's got the

interest. Where is the Muslim world? And Allah says, Come and

hug the oppressed. Help those who are don't downtrodden. Where are

the Muslim countries? But the most important point is, what is the

action of those in Aleppo in the prophet's birthday? Chemical

Warfare, hydrogen bombs, all types of Banner bombs, attacking

hospitals, civilian centers, markets, masjids. Could these

people be Muslim?

And who are these people? I say like it is. Some people don't like

it, but there is only one truth. These people are Syria as Syria

and his Alawites, Hezbollah, Iran and Russia. These are the four

categories of people attacking innocent people all over the

country. We've seen it. We've watched the witnesses, because

doctors and staff from all over the different hospitals have come

to our two hospitals. What all types of injuries. Last night, the

first patients came from Aleppo to our hospital.

We send you the pictures soon. We always start sending the pictures

out. We're not going to send the pictures of something else inside

Aleppo. We're going to send you our own pictures from when they

come to our hospital, because that's the truth, taken by us, by

our teams. There's 200 of our staff in hospital, and what did

the people say? They say, this is a genocide. In the month of

running over, we don't need the words. If one person says it, or

two says it, or he says, you are going to ask a lot of questions.

But if everybody tells you the same things, the alarm bells are

going on. They say this is a genocide. They're using chemical

weapons. They're using big bombs. They're attacking the hospitals.

They're attacking the markets. They're attacking civilians.

They're shooting women and children. They've cut all the

supplies off, no water, no food, no medicines, women, no medical

equipment. Can go inside. Women have killed themselves, and they

said, Oh, forgive us. Suicide is better than to be raped. Others

have killed themselves, thinking the death is better than being

captured.

Orphans are kissing dead parents in the streets. Women are crying

as husbands are pulled away. These are not stories from a book. I've

got no time for stories. This is the reality of what's happening in

the ground. And those of us who keep saying Iran is that, saying

it bluntly, they say, you know, what are you defending? Sorry, I'm

not defending Saudi Arabia. I don't belong to Saudi Arabia. I

have nothing to do with Saudi Arabia. I have an impedance

country for the last 40 years.

I'm telling you clearly, Don't divert the discussion. Who is

attacking civilians inside Syria? It is Iran. They claim to be

members of Islamic world. Which member of the Islamic world

massacres women and children? Did you not learn from your own

revolution who is running the war in Syria? The general is running

the war in Syria is causing.

Lehman, the top General of the Indian Army,

if you said, others are telling us, at least in the days of a stop

like salao diyou, who comes from your own area, who comes from your

region, learn from history, but to attack women and children openly

and massacre them. Totally unacceptable, brothers and

sisters, I'm not going to take up your time. Imam is very good to

me, and the mosque property was very good to me, to give me this

few minutes, but they need our help. People ask, What must we do?

I'm not asking you to get morbid. I'm not asking you to sit in one

corner and cry or wear black. That is not the teaching of the Holy

Prophet saws. Look now. Prophet has told us to be positive about

everything. If Allah helps you, none can overcome you. If he

forsake you, who is there after that that can help you in Allah?

Then let believers put their trust. And as the Palestinians

say, husband Allah, who will not go to kill over and over again,

for everything that goes right, everything that goes wrong,

because there is no wrong people you believe in Allah, so don't put

yourself in the corner. Enjoy your holiday. You've worked hard. Your

family needs it, God, but in going for that holiday, remember how

your gratitude, how lucky you are. You have a nice house, you have a

job, you have a car, you have food and clothing. But above all, you

are not being Mexican. Your family, people are not in jail

being tortured. Your kids have not been taken away from you. That is

the biggest gratitude you can give. So in giving that gratitude,

pass something onto the other side. If you can't part at money,

it's fine. Money always comes. Tala always says, at least lift

your hands up. Don't be amazing. Pick up your hands. Get up in the

middle of the night, because if we were in that situation, I

guarantee you, in Syria and in Palestine and all over Gaza and

all over the municipalities, they will get up and they will lift

their hands up for you as they send in prayers right now for all

the aid that is coming, just to explain to you how your money is

being used in 2012 in December, we found a building By Allah's grace.

We converted that building into an emergency hospital in 70 days. And

I'll tell you one last story. When I did the building, I told the

doctor, you know what, this building is not going to be

enough. Can we expand sidewards, backwards and upwards? He said, I

don't know. I'm a doctor. We need to get an engineer. Next minute,

somebody walks into the building, and he says, I'm an engineer. So I

said, my friend, can we explain this building? He says, Yes, two

floors up, passing what can I engineer you? You don't see the

plans, you don't see the architectural drawings. You don't

see the building. How can you decide two floors up? He says, My

Friend, I built this building. 25 million people in Syria, and the

engineer that I need Allah sent to the hospital, isn't that the Grace

of Allah? In March, I went back to 2003 13 to see the place of ready

to take the teams in in April. And 60 South African doctors and all

types of medical professionals went in 10 days, we saw 7000

patients. We helped train the salients, because who was the

doctors at the cultural students, putting up drips, helping in

theater, because there are no doctors to help them, so we have

trained them. And we said, Okay, we going to expand this hospital.

The hospital is now three floors big, backwards floors upwards or

not expanded across the road. We put up an additional primary

health care center. But the bobby by this type of indecent human

beings never stopped. They, as they tried to destroy every

hospital in Syria. They tried many times to destroy our hospital

whilst we were there in April, 2013

four missiles hit the mountain above the hospital. Bombs fell

around the hospital, bombshell. Now our doctors were staying

bombshell. Were doing the restaurant. Eventually we had to

move the whole team underground, street underground. But the teams

never gave up, and we expanded that hospital, as I said, it's

three floors now, it even offers dialysis services in a war zone.

In September last year, we decided we needed another hospital. It was

May last year when Nepal earthquake happened at exactly the

same time. They got lucky, one of the bombs came close to the

hospital and blew the doors and the windows away. Fortunately, not

too much damage. We can't fix it up. And we carried on in

September, we said we need a second hospital, slightly away,

closer to the Turkish border, where it's slightly safer. There

is no safe place in Syria, but closer to the Turkish border, the

Turkish Red Crescent gave us a million dollar field hospital. The

promoted hospital now is in winter. It's too cold because it's

tense. So next year, after winter, we got we're going to convert the

state hospital field hospital in a proper, big brick hospital, but we

want to do something else besides the second hospital, because a lot

of women and children being killed, and because of the danger

for women and children in our hospital and other hospitals,

which we now call al Hilal, we want to put up a third hospital

dedicate.

It to women and children closer to the Turkish border. Allah, bless

you for all the conditions you've been giving we've even set up a

feeding center. We've put up refugee camps. We've put up tents,

provide a blanket, food, baby milk. We've got a feeding center,

provided hot pearls and food parcels. We've set up rapid

healthcare clinics. We go into the different areas, and when the

bombing is very severe. We send our teams into into the areas of

heavy bombing, because we can't bring those patients to the

hospital in time to feed those patients. All this is only

possible because of your money. But whilst giving money, don't

make that as an excuse not evaluate your own behavior and

your own character, brothers and sisters, as the Mona was talking

about. Now it's time for evaluation. People have New Year's

party and New Year's joy. We don't have those kind of things. We

reflect on our behavior, on our character and our actions, because

when the Wrath of Allah comes, believe me, it is very, very hard.

I'm not saying Allah is punishing the people of Saria. No man can

make that judgment. Maybe Allah is testing them and he's promised

them the highest station in paradise for their suffering. We

don't know, but we don't know who's being judged and who's been

tested and who's been punished, but what we do know is we know our

own actions and how we can collect it. Thank you very much for your

time. They need a lot of help. They're pouring from alefo,

reporting from all parts of Syria, there's a dedicated team of 200

medical personnel who can walk out of that hospital any day and get a

top job in America, anywhere in Europe, anywhere in the world, for

50 times the salary that we are giving them. But they said, No, we

don't want the money. We will risk our lives, our families and our

children to help our brothers and sisters all over Syria. And we

will stay in this hospital and Assad and the Iranians and the

Russians can bomb and will die with our patients in the hospital,

brothers and sisters. If they can do that, surely we can empty the

Prophet into something. I'm not asking you for money. You can give

your money to one. Don't give your money to one because I have one

belief. The Prophet sallallahu said, whatever is going to strike

you is never going to miss you. Whatever is going to miss you is

never going to strike you. I can give the lectures all over the

world. If I'm not supposed to get one cent, I'm not going to give

one cent. If I sit still, give no lectures. Well, I was to give me

$100 billion he will give me $100 billion that is faith. And believe

me, when you go into Syria and you see what the money did normally,

when you give money, you say, you know, are the guy stealing? Are we

getting short changed? Is money not going there? I'm trying to

find out. How come the money that we're giving is giving us more

benefit than the money that we're giving. You can't understand it.

It's like it's stealing money from somewhere else to help our

projects because of your good hearts, because of your sincerity

and how you feel. And when the people from all over the world

came and the last minute and they said, Is this hospital built by

Saudi Arabia? They said, No, it's not Saudi Arabia. It's South

Africa. They said, it can't be South Africa. How can Africa do a

thing like this? It is Arabia. Ours is the biggest operation

inside Syria. In the whole of North Syria, we got the biggest

medical facility and the biggest medical services. So much so that

the Syrians inside Turkey crossed the border to come to the hospital

inside Syria, again, because of your generosity, your gutha and

your DUA, don't forget to evaluate your own action. 31st step, what

you are going to do, evaluate your own action. Can you bring the good

deeds and pass on good behavior to your children? Because we don't

know what the future holds.
