How are you?
You can be a stranger, a stranger in
Gaza, but everyone's your friend.
Somehow, I think it's Islam, their trust is
not broken, that people will still come and
love them.
The media wants us to be wounded and
terrified, right, by the appalling and unhindered violence
of Israel and the USA against the civilians
in Gaza.
But what is it like to actually be
with the people of Gaza?
Those that the mainstream wants us to believe
are bombers and killers from the womb to
the tomb.
And what is it like to meet them?
Inshallah, I want you to see the messages
from the people themselves in recent days.
Do they make you feel fear or do
they make you feel love and respect?
So, it's been raining in Gaza this week.
The forces of evil stopped the water, so
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sent beautiful, free
and abundant water.
Did you know that bombing has to stop
in the rain, so it also gives the
people a pause.
And this brother, too, summarises the incredible gratitude
of the believers for the rizq of Allah
ta'ala.
November the 14th evening, alhamdulillah, we are getting
rain, we are getting fresh water, so that
the animals, the plants, the human beings can
all drink.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is greater than
anything or anyone.
He is our refuge, He is our provider.
Now, as we know, too much rain can
cause flooding in Gaza and it comes with
great risks as well.
Waterborne diseases, because the Israelis have smashed the
sewage system.
This positive feeling towards our Lord is the
essence of the Palestinian Gaza spirit.
And it reminds me of a Hadith Qudsi.
These are words of Allah reported by the
Prophet, peace be upon him, outside of the
Quran.
Allah says, I am as my servant thinks
I am.
I am with him when he makes mention
of me.
If he makes mention of me to himself,
I make mention of him to myself.
And if he makes mention of me in
an assembly, I make mention of him in
an assembly better than it.
Brothers and sisters, do we ever feel this
blessed when we turn on the hot water
in the shower or drink our morning coffee?
Or just turn on a tap for some
water?
May Allah guide us to true patience and
gratitude.
On my last visit to Gaza, I went
to Bayat Hanun, which as you're going to
see is completely annihilated now.
And I met a family who were living
in what you and I would consider a
garage.
And it was very profound for me.
What's your name?
Imad.
Dozens, probably hundreds of kitchens exactly the same
as this, just in Bayat Hanun.
At the moment they're lucky, I guess they
have some electricity.
They have no generator.
So they're lucky tonight to have this.
As I met all the children in this
really bizarre parade of injury and traumatic stress
syndrome and yet smiles, attempted smiles really.
They were in such a difficult situation.
I went to a back room, it was
Maghreb and I realized I hadn't prayed and
I started to cry.
Really, really sobbing.
And one of the mums came in with
a phone that was their only light.
And when I finished praying, she said to
me, why are you crying?
And I said, because I hate this for
you.
I hate that Israel is doing this to
you.
I hate that I can't do anything.
I hate the world doesn't care.
I hate the Arab leaders that are not
doing anything.
I hate our inactivity.
And she said, you're crying for us.
She was genuinely surprised.
Don't cry for us.
Allah has told us that if we stay
steadfast and we believe in him and we
trust in him, then it's Jannah.
Alhamdulillah.
We're so happy.
She meant happiness for the next life.
She meant a happiness in Sakina, though in
this life that we will never know.
A certainty of heart.
Subhanallah.
These people will never be defeated because of
their Iman, because of their love for Allah.
Which is, in my opinion, the biggest horror
movie made by the decision makers of the
Zionists in Israel.
And it's a scene that was broadcasted only
two months ago.
Exactly on the 15th of August.
And I'm ready to swear that the creature
of the alleged state shook more than the
scenes of the resistance.
And it's the scene of the Qur'an
that was shared by thousands of authors in
the mosques of Gaza.
This is the horror of the occupier.
Look at the mosques of Gaza.
This, in my opinion, is the generation of
liberation, by the will of Allah.
In light of the situation that we are
living in, and in light of the widespread
sedition, despite all of this, the numbers are
increasing.
The people are very keen to raise their
children and daughters, to raise them in a
healthy way, to raise them in the Islamic
religion.
Let us serve the people, our true leaders.
Our true leaders in Iman in this age,
the Palestinians.
