Roaming Ramadan #14 The Sanctity of Palestine – UK Manchester

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh my brothers,

my sisters in Islam, welcome back to Roaming

Ramadan,

lessons on the road. I'm still in the

UK attending

one of the largest conferences in the globe,

and that is Light Upon Light. Mashallah Tabarakallah.

It was a delight to see so many

Masha'ikh and so many brothers and sisters involved

in Dawah and this part of the world

after such a long time. I knew them

before,

and it was, alhamdulillah, a delight for me

to meet them in person for the first

time. But this is not why we are

recording this video. The reason why I'm recording

this video is that I made a promise

to myself

since

October 7th. And what happened in Ghazza in

Palestine

in the past couple of months, I made

a promise to myself that any lecture, any

video, anything that I would do in public,

I have to remind the people of our

duty as brothers and sisters, as Muslims,

toward our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

And SubhanAllah, one of the people who reminds

me all the time of this issue, Sheikh

Omar Suleyman,

who is part of the panelist speakers, MashaAllah

Tabarakallah with us. I have noticed

that every time we ask him a very

general question, very general question, he must bring

the issue of Palestine and Gaza in discussion

and remind the Muslims of their duties and

obligations towards this. Because my brothers and sisters

in Islam, listen very carefully.

Masjid,

Jerusalem or Al Quds or Baytul Maqdis,

this city where al Masjid al Aqsa lies

is a matter of aqeedah

for the believers. It's not just a political

issue. This is way beyond that. This is

a matter

of your faith. It's like if I told

you, imagine with me, the Kaaba is now

under siege. The Kaaba now is controlled by

the enemies of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. How

would you feel? Would you just make Dua?

Will there be just sufficient making dua and

that's it? We cannot do anything. Do not

ever fall into that trap of the only

thing we can do is dua. No allahi,

we can do more than that. Number 1,

du'a

by default, by default is something that we

should do regularly. The prophet

said, Du'a is worship, is the essence of

worship. You are fulfilling the purpose of your

very existence by making dua day and night.

So it's not just because what's happening to

our brothers and sisters in Palestine now you're

gonna make dua. No, you should make dua

for them anyway. They've been in this misery

for almost 80 years. So we should be

doing dua anyway, lifetime dua, 80 years. Come

on. So du'a is one thing, don't quit

it. But on the top of that, continue

raising awareness about the issue. Let your children

and the next generations and whoever is on

planet

earth understand

the rights and the plight of the Palestinians.

Number 3, find reputable organizations,

charitable organizations that are sending aid and necessities

to our brothers and sisters, wallahi,

they are

suffering from poverty and hunger.

I read a statistic just yesterday, 90%

of the population of Ghazza, they suffer hunger.

They are hungry. And when hunger strike, my

brothers and sisters in Islam, you can sense

danger. You

can feel that people will turn against each

other. We don't want that to happen to

our brothers and sisters in Islam. So help

as much as you can. But as I

mentioned, find reputable organizations. Thirdly or fourthly, put

some pressure on reputable organizations.

Thirdly or fourthly, put some pressure on your

governments

to do something about it. Now, South Africa

had filed a case against Israel who committed

genocide act against the Palestinians. So do whatever

it takes, whatever lawfully

possible to remind the people of their rights

and obligation toward the brothers and sisters in

Palestine. So, this is my side now of

the story. Insha'Allah Ta'ala, later on when Sheikh

Umar arrived to the hall, I'll take him

aside and I will ask him that question.

Why is it Sheikh Umar that every time

you speak since October 7th, you never let

a speech or a video pass by just

like that without

bringing the issue of Palestine and Gaza to

discussion. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala reward you

all. Stay tuned until we bring Sheikh Omar

to you inshallah in this special episode.

Assalamu alaikumabulla.

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has sanctified people. Allah

has sanctified places, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has

sanctified symbols. There is no place in the

world subhanAllah where you will find that Allah

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has sanctified the place, the

people, and the symbols. Mazal Aqsa, the first

qiblah of the Muslims.

The place where the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam

let all of the prophets in salah. The

place from where the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

ascended to the heavens. Al Baytul Maqdis, the

place Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala mentions

that we not only blessed the place, but

we blessed Mahullah. We blessed everything that's around

it as well. The whole land of Palestine

is sacred. And finally, the people. If you

were to take the ahadith about Ahlusham as

a whole, the people of Ahlusham as a

whole, Palestine, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, subhanAllah,

You could be reading all day and night.

The prophet praised these people so much. Specifically,

al Murabitun,

those that hold it down, those that insist

on fighting back against the oppression in Palestine

and making sure that they maintain their existence

even as people seek to erase them on

behalf of the entire Ummah. So there's no

place where you find all of these sanctities

combined.

And so, therefore, our activism on their behalf,

our voice on their behalf is also sacred,

Bayid Nuhaytan.

Alhamdulillah. And Sheikh Nuh, one last thing, I

know I know I told you one question,

but how can we even take

Remind and be reminded as the voices start

to become less and as the work for

Palestine starts to become less, then cling and

attach yourself to the groups of people that

are being consistent with it, InshaAllah Ta'ala. So

remind others when you see it being forgotten

and let others remind you, InshaAllah Ta'ala, cling

to those places where it's going to be

consistent work for it, InshaAllah.

consistent work for it, InshaAllah.
