The Palestinian people have faced challenges such as the loss of many people and injuries, the attack on civilian infrastructure, and the historical significance of the holy eye. They are also interested in returning to their hometown of Jerusalem and receiving their status as Muslim. The return of Islam to everyone is important, including the source of their goal, Jerusalem, and the Bible's culture. Viewers are encouraged to visit links for more information.

00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			Despite all the challenges, the morale of the
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			Palestinian people here is very high.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			You know, the divine rule of Allah subhanahu
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			wa ta'ala will at the end be
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			victorious.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			Palestine is the holy land for a reason.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			Never for a second came to my mind
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			that I should lose.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			So first of all, we have to do
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			an update.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:31
			As the Zionist entities attack on civilians in
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			Gaza, it goes into its fourth month.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			4% of the population of Gaza are
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			now dead, missing or injured.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			Imagine what that would mean in your area,
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:42
			in your school.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			4% of a school dead, missing or
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:45
			injured.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			That's the reality on the ground now in
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:47
			Gaza.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:57
			70% of civilian infrastructure is now decimated.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			And what are we talking about?
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			We're talking about the stuff of daily life.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:08
			Schools, hospitals, homes, universities, roads, mosques, churches, on
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			and on and on it goes.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			The stuff of life, it's gone.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			People are just going over rubble.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			I had a discussion this week with a
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			brother called Mansour.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			Mansour Shuman is actually a Canadian citizen.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			He and his family visited Gaza because they're
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			Palestinian heritage and they went to see family
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			before the war broke out.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			And he decided to stay.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:33
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			That alone is huge.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			The bombs were falling.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			Baby's head's crushed.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			And he sent his family out.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			And he asked them permission to stay.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:49
			His responses were heart-moving.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			But also, for some of you, it could
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:52
			be life-changing.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			So, you know, fate will happen to us,
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			regardless if we like it or not.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			So why don't we just be positive about
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			it and move forward?
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			And what more positive can you get than
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			being in Gaza during these times?
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			It's like a golden ticket opportunity.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			First class airline ticket.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:13
			If properly utilized, to Jannah, inshallah.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:17
			So, may Allah accept all of our efforts
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			together with all of you.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			Make our intentions for all the work that
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			we do for his sake and his sake
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:22
			only.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27
			And utilize us for his deed and not
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:27
			replace us.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			Mansour is doing good with every moment of
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			his life.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			And it begs the question, what did I
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			do today to please Allah?
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			What did I do to help anyone else?
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			Today, we have a very special guest.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			The youngest reporter here in Gaza.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			Let's get to know her.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:17
			My name is Sanaa.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:24
			So, it's
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			a big victory for the free people of
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:26
			this world.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			And the people here believe that they have
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			already won.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:01
			And then
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:14
			there
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			is Khaled Nabhan, or as he's become known,
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			soul of my soul, who lost both of
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			his grandchildren to an Israeli missile, and Reem
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			especially, the way he cuddled her, touched the
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			world's heart.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			What is he doing now?
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:56
			I never in Gaza felt judged or pushed
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			out because I was not Muslim.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			It really, it still touches my heart and
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			now we're getting to see this.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			This is the biggest dawah, perhaps in a
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:11
			thousand years, reaching across the world to give
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			you at home, alhamdulillah, a real chance to
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			see what Islam is, free of all the
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:21
			paid-for negativity, against our Prophet, peace be
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			upon him, the light of the worlds, get
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			to know him, read about him, but what
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			you're seeing now, what you're admiring those people,
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			they will tell you, I do this because
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			I'm following a sunnah, a practice of the
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and I'm
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			doing this because the Quran says here to
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			be generous to the visitor and the guest,
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			it's all in the book.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			Allahu Akbar, that's what we're getting to see.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:45
			And as Muslims, we also believe that, yes,
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:50
			you can grieve, but you cannot grieve in
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			a very outlandish way, you know, and you
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			have to practice patience, especially at the first
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			hit of the hearing of bad news, or
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			the hearing of sorrow, or the measurement of
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			loss of sorrow.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			And there's a lot of ayahs in the
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			Quran and in the hadith that talk about
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:08
			sabreen, that talk about people who remain steadfast,
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			who remain patient, and many times right now
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			we are reading the Quran, we are reading
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			the sunnah, and we're thinking, oh subhanAllah, that's
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			what it means to be patient, okay, so
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			may Allah make us patient in this matter,
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			because the divine rule of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			ta'ala will at the end be victorious,
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			with us or without us.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:29
			So we are merely tools, and we ask
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to utilize us
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:31
			all.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:35
			And alhamdulillah, despite all the challenges, the morale
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			of the Palestinian people here is very high.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			They believe that they are on the right
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:43
			side of history, they believe that, you know,
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			they are honestly sort of so surprised seeing
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			the reaction from the free people of the
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			world in their views as well.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:56
			Always Palestine has been a positive historical change
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			for people all around the world.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01
			It's the land of the prophets, you know,
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:06
			it's the land of, subhanAllah, Palestine is the
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			holy land for a reason.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			Please read surah al-Israa, al-Israa in
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			the Quran.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			It talks about how Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16
			'ala, in the final days, will bring together
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:21
			all the Zionists into one place, and then
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will show how
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			bad their actions are to the whole world.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:33
			And then, inshaAllah, inshaAllah, after the trial that
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			we are all going through, being ruled by
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:40
			man-made laws, man-made unjust political, social,
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43
			economic systems, inshaAllah the divine rule of Allah
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			subhanahu wa ta'ala will return back so
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			that the oppressed will not be oppressed anymore,
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			so that the weak will not be weak
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			anymore, so that the rights will be returned
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			to everyone who deserves it.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			And the source of it will be Jerusalem,
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			the source of it will be Palestine, inshaAllah.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			And this is not a struggle for Palestine,
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			this is not a struggle for Palestinians.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			Palestine is a waqf for all the Muslims
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			all around the world.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:09
			Palestine has been home for Muslims, Jews, and
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			Christians for 1400 years.
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:14
			We've lived together in the same quarters in
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:18
			Jerusalem, when Umar bin Khattab opened Jerusalem and
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			he found out that the Jews had been
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			expelled and their land was turned into a
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25
			dumpster, he started cleaning that land with his
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:28
			own hands, and he sent missionaries to invite
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			the Jews to come back and live in
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:29
			Jerusalem.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			One of my intentions that I made to
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is, you know,
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:37
			if the Zionists were to attack Gaza, that
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala utilize me
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			to help serve his cause.
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			Through whatever means he sees best to serve.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			So I felt that, you know, it's a
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			dream come true, you know, that's something that,
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:52
			you know, I never, it never for a
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			second came to my mind that I should
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			lose, honestly, I'll be very honest with you,
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:00
			because I felt this was like, this is
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			it, you know, like this is, this is,
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:05
			this is, I mean, I mean, I mean,
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:09
			going like, let's say I run away from
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:09
			Gaza.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			What if the same thing happens to the
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			other country that I'm in?
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			What if a war starts there, right?
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			What will I do?
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			I'll run away from it as well.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			Don't you just love these people?
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:22
			It's impossible not to, to feel a great
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:25
			affection for people who are that generous with
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:25
			their heart.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:30
			There's a saying that, إذا كنت تعرف أين
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			مقابلك عند الله وانظر أين أقامك that if
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			you want to know what, where, what your
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			status is, where your status is with Allah
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			subhanahu wa ta'ala, look at where he
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41
			has placed you to do or look where
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			he has placed you and look at where
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			your daily actions are leading you.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			Mansoor, can you make a lovely du'a
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			from your heart?
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			MashaAllah.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			Can I ask a brother here who lost
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:56
			his wife, his house, and has four disabled
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:57
			children to make this du'a in Arabic
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			and we can say Ameen behind her?
		
00:11:59 --> 00:11:59
			Sure.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			As-salamu alaykum.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			Wa alaykum as-salam wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh.
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			Brother Sufyan, say Ameen inshaAllah.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			Alhamdulillah ala ni'ma al-Islam wa kafa biha
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			min ni'ma.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			Allahumma arhamna fa innaka bina arahma.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			Wala tu'addibna fa anta alayna qadir.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			Allahumma arhamna wa ghfir lana.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			Wa tawafana muslimin.
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32
			Wa alhikma bis salihin.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			Allahumma sabbirna.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			Allahumma al-tufbina bima jara fi ghazza.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			Allahumma al-tufbina.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			Allahumma kunna awlan wa mu'ina lana.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			Allahumma arham al-usar.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			Wa arham al-fuqara wa al-misakeen.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44
			Wa arham al-shuhada.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
			Wa shafi al-jarha.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			Wa fiqh al-asra.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			Allahumma harri al-aqsa wa al-masra bi
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:49
			-idhnillah.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			Allahumma inna ta'ala Allah anta ajtami al

			-ummah ala kitabi Allah wa sunnat Rasulullah salallahu
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			Allahumma inna nasa laka al-huda.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			Wa al-tuqa, wa al-afafa, wa al
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:58
			-ghina.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			Wa min al-amali ma tarda.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			Radina billahi Rabbah.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			Wa bil-Islami dina.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			Wa bi Muhammad an-Nabiyyan wa Rasulah.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			Allahumma arhamna kama wa rahimti al-awwaleen.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			Wa ghfur lana wa ja'alna min waratat

			Allahumma ja'alna tawwar wa muqawmeen fi sa
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			'at al-aqsa qareefan bi-idhnillah.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			Life is better than bearable even in the
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			hardest times because God has not left us
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:42
			alone.
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			And that's the lesson that we've been taught
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			in this brutal attack on Gaza.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			They will have victory.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:51
			And my brothers and sisters who are already
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:54
			Muslim we need to understand yaqeen is certainty.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			And what the Palestinians are teaching us right
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:00
			now is what certainty in Allah's victory, what
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:01
			that looks like.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			May we imbibe it in our lives, with
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:06
			our neighbours and in our fields of influence
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:06
			as well.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
