    In this article I have written about Hadith Regarding Enjoining Good Manners, Hadith Regarding Virtues of Friday, Two Hadith Regarding Virtues of Jihad, Sahih Hadith Regarding Honouring guests, Hadith Regarding the one who has tasted sweetness of Faith, Hadith Regarding Reciting Shahada after Wudu(Ablution), Sahih Hadith Regarding Supplication during Prostration. In addition to this I have written about Qatar's former Emir Hamad bin Khalifah Al-Thani's death, Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral, Hamas's decision to end their government in Gaza, NATO summit in Türkiye and America's recent attacks on Iran.

Hadith Regarding Enjoining Good Manners

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

Verily, Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, would say on the Day of Resurrection: O son of Adam, I was sick but you did not visit Me. He would say: O my Lord; how could I visit Thee whereas Thou art the Lord of the worlds? Thereupon He would say: Didn't you know that such and such servant of Mine was sick but you did not visit him and were you not aware of this that if you had visited him, you would have found Me by him? O son of Adam, I asked food from you but you did not feed Me. He would say: My Lord, how could I feed Thee whereas Thou art the Lord of the worlds? He said: Didn't you know that such and such servant of Mine asked food from you but you did not feed him, and were you not aware that if you had fed him you would have found him by My side? (The Lord would again say: ) O son of Adam, I asked drink from you but you did not provide Me. He would say: My Lord, how could I provide Thee whereas Thou art the Lord of the worlds? Thereupon He would say: Such and such of servant of Mine asked you for a drink but you did not provide him, and had you provided him drink you would have found him near Me. [Sahih Muslim 2569]

Hadith Regarding Virtues of Friday 

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) talked about Friday and said, "There is an hour (opportune time) on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while praying and asks something from Allah, then Allah will definitely meet his demand." And he (the Prophet) pointed out the shortness of that time with his hands. [Sahih al-Bukhari 935]

Two Hadith Regarding Virtues of Jihad

Usman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "One day of Jihad is better than a thousand days without Jihad, so every person should reflect upon himself." [Mustadrak Al-Hakim 2381]

** This Hadith is Sahih (authentic) according to the criteria of Imam Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him), but it is not narrated in Sahih Sittah. 

Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "A man's standing in the ranks of Jihad is better than sixty years of worship." [Mustadrak Al-Hakim 2383]

** This Hadith is Sahih (authentic) according to the criteria of Imam Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) but it is not narrated in Sahihain (Bukhari and Muslim).

Sahih Hadith Regarding Honouring guests

Abu Shuraih al-Ka’bi reported the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) as sayings:

He who believes in Allah and the Last Day should honour his guest provisions for the road are what will serve for a day and night: hospitality extends for three days; what goes after that is sadaqah(charity): and it is not allowable that a guest should stay till he makes himself an encumbrance.

Abu Dawud said: Malik was asked about the saying of the Prophet: "Provisions for the road what will serve for a day a night." He said: He should honor him, present him some gift, and protect him for a day and night, and hospitality for three days.. [Sunan Abu Dawood 3748]

Hadith Regarding the one who has tasted the sweetness of Faith

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever possesses the following three qualities will taste the sweetness of faith:

1. The one to whom Allah and His Apostle become dearer than anything else.

2. Who loves a person and he loves him only for Allah's sake.

3. Who hates to revert to disbelief (Atheism) after Allah has brought (saved) him out from it, as he hates to be thrown in fire." [Sahih al-Bukhari 21]

Hadith Regarding Reciting Shahada after Wudu(Ablution)

'Uqba b. 'Amir reported:

We were entrusted with the task of tending the camels. On my turn when I came back in the evening after grazing them in the pastures, I found Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stand and address the people. I heard these words of his: If any Muslim performs ablution well, then stands and prays two rak'ahs setting about them with his heart as well as his face, Paradise would be guaranteed to him. I said: What a fine thing is this! And a narrator who was before me said: The first was better than even this. When I cast a glance, I saw that it was 'Umar who said: I see that you have just come and observed: If anyone amongst you performs the ablution, and then completes the ablution well and then says: I testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the servant of Allah and His Messenger, the eight gates of Paradise would be opened for him and he may enter by whichever of them he wishes. [Sahih Muslim 234a]

Sahih Hadith Regarding Supplication during Prostration

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said:

"The Prophet (ﷺ) drew back the curtain when the people were in rows behind Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, and said: 'O people, there is nothing left of the features of Prophethood except a good dream that a Muslim sees or is seen by others for him.' Then he said: 'Verily, I have been forbidden from reciting the Qur'an when bowing or prostrating. As for bowing, glorify the Lord therein, and as for prostration, strive hard in supplication for it is more deserving of a response.'" [Sunan An-Nasai 1045]

Political Situation of the Ummah

In this part of my article I would discuss about Qatar's former Emir Hamad bin Khalifah Al-Thani's death, Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral, Hamas's decision to end their government in Gaza, NATO summit in Türkiye and America's recent attacks on Iran.

Qatar's former Emir Hamad bin Khalifah Al-Thani's death

   The first thing I would discuss is the Qatar's former Emir Hamad bin Khalifah Al-Thani's death. On 12th of July Qatar's former Emir Hamad bin Khalifah Al-Thani passed away at the age of 74. He led the country from 1995 till 2013 when he handed power to his son Tamim bin Khalifah Al-Thani who has been the Emir of Qatar ever since. He oversaw rapid economic development in Qatar which was largely backed by his investments in developing Qatar's LNG reserves. This transformed Qatar into a key LNG supplier of the world and a very wealthy nation. Hamad bin Khalifah and his successor Tamim bin Khalifah Al-Thani have used Qatar's wealth to do perform actions which have been quite beneficial to the Ummah like supporting Hamas financially for which they must be appreciated. However both of them have also performed which have caused a lot of damage to the Ummah like housing American military bases in their own country. I pray to Allah to forgive Hamad bin Khalifah Al-Thani's sins and grant him a high status in paradise. I also pray to Allah that his successor Tamim bin Khalifah Al-Thani who is the current Emir of Qatar to not repeat his father's mistakes and I also pray that he will be a better leader than his father.

Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral

‎   The second thing I would discuss is the Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral. A couple of days ago Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral took place. Delegations from more than 100 countries also attended the funeral which includes neighbouring countries such as Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Türkiye, Russia and China etc. The leadership of liberation organizations such as Hamas, Palestine Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and the Houthis of Yemen also attended the funeral. Indeed this was one of the greatest funerals of this era not just of modern Muslim history but the world history as well. According to Iranian officials approximately 9 million people attended the funeral. Khamenei's funeral was a testament that how loved he was among the Iranian public which proved America and Israel's claims of the Iranian public hating Khamenei or the Iranian regime to be wrong. The presence of delegations from more than a 100 countries at Khamenei's funeral proved that he was a great political leader who has left an impact on world politics and that his legacy will be hard to remove. I pray to Allah to forgive Khamenei's sins and also pray that the next Iranian Supreme leader will be better that and he will not commit the same mistakes that were committed by Ayatollah Khamenei.

Hamas's decision to end their government in Gaza

   The third topic that I would discuss in this article is the decision of Hamas to dissolve its government in Gaza. According to latest reports a Palestinian technocratic governing authority will govern Gaza from now on. This is an indication that Hamas is abiding by the peace deal brokered in Gaza earlier this year. Eventhough many Western countries label Hamas as a terrorist organization but it is abiding by the peace deal whereas Israel still continues to violate this peace deal by killing innocent civilians in Gaza. I have said in my previous articles and I will say it again that Israel has a habit of breaking or violating peace deals that it signs. It has also violated its peace deal with Lebanon multiple times by conducting air strikes in resulting in deaths of countless innocent civilians. As Israel doesn't care about any so called International law so it is a must for Israel to violate the peace deal in Gaza. Infact it already is violating this deal. As far as International laws are concerned then these laws have been made by Western countries to colonize weak nations but that is a separate topic which I would not discuss in this article. Despite knowing all this some Muslim countries were still signatories of this deal. Muslim countries did this so that so they can please America inorder to secure their own national interests. The Muslim countries that were signatories of this deal include Türkiye, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. All these Muslim nations should be ashamed of themselves especially Pakistan and Türkiye because despite having powerful armies and weapons they do not use this to help their own Muslim brothers fight oppression. Türkiye is helping Syria to strengthen itself for which Türkiye should be appreciated. Türkiye along with Qatar should also be appreciated for supporting the Syrian rebels that were fighting the tyranny of Bashar al-Assad, Russia and Iran but incase of Palestine both Türkiye and Qatar's role has been quite disappointing. Just recently Türkiye hosted a NATO summit. Whilst Türkiye presents itself as the protector and the leader of the Ummah but Türkiye didn't mention anything about the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians and even the Chinese oppression of Uyghurs. Eventhough many of those countries that attended this summit want to counter China's growing influence but still Türkiye didn't mention anything about the Uyghurs facing oppression in China. Pakistan was also silent for most of the time in the last three years of Israeli genocide but during the recent war between Iran and the USA it very happily presented itself as the mediator. It also signed defence agreements with Saudi Arabia and Qatar but not Palestinians. I am not saying that Pakistan shouldn't have presented itself as the mediator in the recent Iran-US war or it shouldn't have signed defence agreements with the Saudis and Qatar. These moves are for which Pakistan should be praised but why didn't it do anything for Palestine? Why didn't it arm Hamas against Israel? Similarly Saudi Arabia which is a wealthy country and champions itself as the guardian of the Holy cities of Makkah and Madinah but rather than helping their Muslim brothers by supporting them financially so that they can fight oppression they instead invest billions of dollars in the USA and also indirectly in Israel. The Saudis along with the UAE can bomb Yemen and support rebel groups in various Muslim countries they but won't even bother to help Hamas fight Israel. The same can be said about Iran. Iran was silent for most of the time in the last three years of Israeli genocide in Gaza and Lebanon. Most of the resistance against Israel was being carried out by Hamas, Houthis and Hezbollah while Iran watched and provided only limited support to them. It only attacked Israel and American military bases in the region when it was directly attacked by America and Israel. Iran does claim to hold the banner of resistance against imperialism but Iran itself has pursued imperialist policies in Iraq and Syria by killing innocent Muslims. In this regard it is no different than Saudi Arabia or the UAE who have done the same in many Muslim countries in the past or are still doing so. Allah says in the Quran regarding those who do not fight to help the oppressors;

And what is it with you? You do not fight in the cause of Allah and for oppressed men, women, and children who cry out, “Our Lord! Deliver us from this land of oppressors! Appoint for us a saviour; appoint for us a helper—all by Your grace.” [Surah An-Nisa Verse no.75]

In short Hamas's decision to dissolve its government in Gaza is not their failure but it is the failure of the entire Ummah. It is due the cowardice of the leaders of the Ummah that it has to take this decision.  It is not Hamas and the Palestinian resistance that have failed but rather it is the rest of the Ummah that has failed. Allah says in the Quran;

If you have suffered injuries ˹at Uḥud˺, they suffered similarly ˹at Badr˺. We alternate these days ˹of victory and defeat˺ among people so that Allah may reveal the ˹true˺ believers, choose martyrs from among you—and Allah does not like the wrongdoers. [Surah Al-Imran Verse no.140]

However the good thing is that Hamas has not laid down its arms which means it will continue to face oppression with bravery and one day by the will of Allah defeat Israel. This is the lession which the Ummah especially the leaders of the Ummah need to learn from Hamas. This is Hamas's success that when many Muslim countries were ready to sign the Abraham Accords with Israel they blocked this by attacking Israel. Now it has become difficult for Muslim countries to establish diplomatic relations with Israel but also for Western countries especially USA to support Israel. Hamas has exposed Israel and those countries that have backed Israel and this is the reason that large protests have been held in various Western nations against the Israeli genocide in Palestine. May Allah grant success to Hamas and to all those fighting Jihad against oppression and injustice around the world. Allah says in the Quran regarding those fighting Jihad and those who embrace martyrdom fighting oppression:

Those believers who stay at home except those with valid excuses are not equal to those who strive in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has elevated in rank those who strive with their wealth and their lives above those who stay behind ˹with valid excuses˺. Allah has promised each a fine reward, but those who strive will receive a far better reward than others. [Surah An-Nisa verse no.95]

Should you be martyred or die in the cause of Allah, then His forgiveness and mercy are far better than whatever ˹wealth˺ those ˹who stay behind˺ accumulate. [Surah Al-Imran Verse no.157]

Never think of those martyred in the cause of Allah as dead. In fact, they are alive with their Lord, well provided for. [Surah Al-Imran Verse no.169]

So their Lord responded to them: “I will never deny any of you—male or female—the reward of your deeds. Both are equal in reward. Those who migrated or were expelled from their homes, and were persecuted for My sake and fought and ˹some˺ were martyred—I will certainly forgive their sins and admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow, as a reward from Allah. And with Allah is the finest reward!” [Surah Al-Imran Verse no.195]

NATO summit in Türkiye 

  I would also like to discuss briefly about the NATO summit that took place in Türkiye. All the deals and agreements that were signed during this summit were for the purpose of strengthening Europe and America's defence against Russia and China. This summit had very little to do for the benefit of the Ummah. However their was one thing that could be beneficial for the Ummah. This is America's sale of F-35 fighter jets to Türkiye. These jets are one of the most advanced fighter jets at the moment. These jets will strengthen Türkiye's air force. However the delivery of these jets to Türkiye can take a lot of time and it is possible that America can use any lame excuse to stop the delivery of these jets to Türkiye. Anyhow Türkiye does posses a very capable and thriving defence industry so if it acquires these jets then it can reverse engineer or conduct research on them to learn about the technology of these jets to create it's own and even more advanced version of these jets. This will strengthen Türkiye's defence and it can also sell those jets to other Muslim countries. Even if Türkiye is unable to acquire these F-35 which is quite likely then as I said before that Türkiye has a very capable defence industry then it can work with Pakistan which also has a thriving defence industry to create even better jets than F-35. This could be quite beneficial for the Ummah. Allah says in the Quran;

Prepare against them what you ˹believers˺ can of ˹military˺ power and cavalry to deter Allah’s enemies and your enemies as well as other enemies unknown to you but known to Allah. Whatever you spend in the cause of Allah will be paid to you in full and you will not be wronged. [Surah Al-Anfal Verse no.60]

 America's recent attacks on Iran

  The last thing which I would discuss briefly here is America's recent attacks on Iran. The new waves of attacks come as America seeks to open the Straight of Hormuz which was closed a few days ago by Iran. America has conducted airstrikes in Iran targeting various military facilities and critical civilian infrastructure. In response Iran has also targeted American military bases in the Gulf countries. America has also conducted strikes against various Iranian ships. In retaliation Iran has also targeted American naval vessels in the region. American President Trump said that America will control the Straight of Hormuz and will also charge tolls. Even though Iran and Oman are more entitled to control the Straight of Hormuz abd charge tolls on it. It will not be wrong to say that America's actions fall in the category of war crimes but no one has the power to utter a word against America for these actions. I pray to Allah that whatever the result of this conflict is it brings betterment to the Ummah and Iran is able to defeat America and Israel just like it has defeated them in the past. While doing so Iran should be cautious and should refrain from targeting civilian infrastructure in the Middle East because the people of the Middle East have nothing to do with the cowardice of their leaders. Iran should prove that it is not a genocidal entity like America and Israel and so it should only attack American military bases, naval vessels and Israel. 

O Allah guide the rulers of the Ummah and if their is no guidance in their fate then replace them with those who are worthy to rule the Ummah. O Allah grant Muslims courage to stand up to their rulers if they do something unlawful. O Allah unite the Ummah and eradicate the differences that are present between different Muslim countries. O Allah grant patience, strength and steadfastness to our Muslim brothers fighting oppression in Palestine, Kashmir, East Turkistan, Yemen, Myanmar, Iran, Sudan and elsewhere. O Allah give the Muslim Ummah the strength, courage and faith to help those who are being oppressed around the world.

It is  reported on the authority of Talha b. 'Ubaidullah that a person with dishevelled hair, one of the people of Nejd, came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). We heard the humming of his voice but could not fully discern what he had been saying, till he came nigh to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). It was then (disclosed to us) that he was asking questions pertaining to Islam. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

Five prayers during the day and the night. (Upon this he said: Am I obliged to say any other (prayer) besides these? He (the Holy Prophet, ) said: No, but whatever you observe voluntarily, out of your own free will, and the fasts of Ramadan. The inquirer said: Am I obliged to do anything else besides this? He (the Holy Prophet) said: No, but whatever you do out of your own free will. And the Messenger of Allah told him about the Zakat (poor-rate).

[Sahih al-Bukhari 615]

Current Situation of the Ummah

      In this part of the article I would discuss about the ongoing conflict between Iran and the USA. In addition to this I would also discuss the situation of the Middle East in regards to Israel.

    If you talk about he ongoing situation between the USA and Iran then as of now the situation is worsening. In the last couple of days there was an exchange of fire between Iran and Israel. Just recently Iran and the USA also conducted strikes against each other as well. It seems that a full fledge war could start again at any moment. The talks which were initially mediated by Pakistan have also failed to reach any desirable out come so far. Both sides have reached a dead lock especially in regards to Iran's nuclear program and also the ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon. Another thing is the American military presence in the Middle East. During the war and recently as well USA has launched multiple attacks from its military bases present in the Middle East and Iran in retaliation has targeted infrastructure and US military bases in the Middle East. Before moving forward I would talk about Iran's nuclear program. In my opinion Iran should aquire Nuclear weapons because Nuclear weapons are the only way a county can preserve its sovereignty. There is no option for Iran to abandon its Nuclear programme. In my opinion the two solutions which can solve major issues in the Middle East and rest of the Muslim Ummah are the end of the Zionist state of Israel and also the end of American military presence but I will discuss this issue in more detail at the end of my article. If you talk about Israel than as long Israel exists it will continuously involve itself in conflicts in various countries in the Middle East in the guise of securing its borders. It will from time and again pick up conflicts with Hamas, Iran or various Iranian proxies and if it is not Iran or Hamas then it will try to pick up a fight with Syria or Türkiye. Eventhough currently the Syrian regime led by Ahmad Al-Sharaa doesn't pose any threat to Israel because Syria is so devastated due to the civil war that it will at least take a decade for Syria to prepare it self for a war against Israel. Now you must be wondering why Israel does these sort of acts? The answer is that Israel is a settler colonial Zionist Jewish state and like any other colonial state they must do these sort of demonic activities to justify their own existence. Just look at what they are doing in Lebanon and Gaza. They failed miserably against Hezbollah and Hamas so they target innocent civilians because that is what they can do. They can not fight in the battle field so they happily murder innocent civilians and label them as terrorist just like any colonial state. Many Israeli citizens and Politicians have come from Western Europe. They have colonized Palestine. Those who are saying that Muslims and Palestinians should live in peace with Israel are wrong. As it was the Jewish Zionists that occupied Palestine with the help of the British Empire in 1948. Since Israel's creation there hasn't been any peace in the Middle East. Accepting Israel as a state would mean legitimizing their oppression and colonialism in Palestine. Another thing is that if Israel can not stop attacking its neighboring Muslim countries and can not stop colonizing Palestine than how can there be any sort of peace. Just look at the situation in Gaza where a so called ceasefire took place earlier this year. That ceasefire fire hasn't stopped Israel from killing innocent Palestinians. Apart from this Israel is also seizing land in the West Bank but displacing innocent civilians from their homes as well. Lets not forget Lebanon as well where Israel continues to conducts strikes against innocent civilian targets which has resulted in the killing and displacement of thousands of Lebanese. Now I would quote some verses from the Holy Quran to address Muslims especially the leaders of the Muslim countries. Allah says in the Quran;

And what is it with you? You do not fight in the cause of Allah and for oppressed men, women, and children who cry out, “Our Lord! Deliver us from this land of oppressors! Appoint for us a saviour; appoint for us a helper—all by Your grace.” [Surah An-Nisa Verse no.75]

Fight in the cause of Allah ˹only˺ against those who wage war against you, but do not exceed the limits. Allah does not like transgressors. [Surah Al-Baqarah Verse no.190]

Kill them wherever you come upon them and drive them out of the places from which they have driven you out. For persecution is far worse than killing. And do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque unless they attack you there. If they do so, then fight them—that is the reward of the disbelievers. [Surah Al-Baqarah Verse no.191]

But if they cease, then surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [Surah Al-Baqarah Verse no.192]

Fight against them ˹if they persecute you˺ until there is no more persecution, and ˹your˺ devotion will be to Allah ˹alone˺. If they stop ˹persecuting you˺, let there be no hostility except against the aggressors. [Surah Al-Baqarah Verse no.193]

Now these verses are quite clear regarding how should Muslims act whenever there is persecution and oppression. So I ask the Ummah especially the rulers of the Ummah that do you not see the persecution in Palestine and elsewhere? These verses are clear that Muslims should keep on fighting till there is an end to the persecution but what Muslim countries are doing is that they are trying their best to save themselves from a conflict with Israel which is inevitable. Israeli objectives are clear that they want to establish 'Greater Israel' which includes parts of Palestine, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan etc. This is what various Israeli politicians have reiterated on multiple occasions. Along with this they also seek to destabilize Iran, Türkiye and Pakistan because they are the three most powerful Muslim countries and if they fall then there would be no one to challenge Israel in the region. This would result in Israeli hegemony in the Middle East. This would be as bad as American hegemony in the region. Now I question the leaders of the Ummah that if Israel's ambition to establish Greater Israel is clear than why are you silent? Why do you fear the enemies of Allah more than you fear Allah? Are you all waiting for the time when Israel with the aid of America comes to destabilize your own country? 

    This is a time when all the leaders of the Ummah should unite and work together to stop Israel's ambitions but unfortunately Muslim leaders are so short sighted and have got so much hatred for each other that they are willingly allying themselves with the enemies of Islam but not with other Muslims. Allah says in the Quran;

And hold firmly together to the rope of Allah and do not be divided. Remember Allah’s favour upon you when you were enemies, then He united your hearts, so you—by His grace—became brothers. And you were at the brink of a fiery pit and He saved you from it. This is how Allah makes His revelations clear to you, so that you may be ˹rightly˺ guided. [Surah Al-Imran Verse no.103] 

And do not be like those who split ˹into sects˺ and differed after clear proofs had come to them. It is they who will suffer a tremendous punishment. [Surah Al-Imran Verse no.105]

Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not dispute with one another, or you would be discouraged and weakened. Persevere! Surely Allah is with those who persevere. [Surah Al-Anfal Verse no.46]

"And the retribution for an evil act is an evil one like it, but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allah . Indeed, He does not like wrongdoers." [Surah al-Shura verse no.40]

These verses call upon Muslims to rise above sectarianism, reconcile with each other and be united but what Muslim countries are doing at the moment is the opposite of what Allah has revealed in the Quran. For example the new waves of attack that were conducted against Iran in the last few days were from American military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. This is just shameful for the rulers of these two countries but this is what is expected from them. I mean after all they are already slaves of America as they have allowed America to establish military bases in their countries. Similarly couple of days ago Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa said that Syria could be a new route to replace the straight of Hormuz. I know what atrocities Iran committed in Syria and have often criticized Iran in my articles. I acknowledge the enormous amount of sacrifices that Syrians offered in their fight against oppression and have great admiration for the Syrian people. In my articles I have often called upon Iran to apologize to Syria for its wrongdoings and compensate for the damage it has done in Syria. However now Iran is in a different situation as it is under attack by USA and Israel. Israel also seeks to destabilize and divide Syria. At this very moment Israel is capturing territories in Syria but what the current Syrian regime is doing is that in its animosity against Iran it is unknowingly supporting Israel and America by offering Syria as an alternative to the Straight of Hormuz. I acknowledge that Syria's grievances against Iran are legitimate but a question arises that was it only Iran that was committing atrocities in Syria? What about Russia, America, Saudi Arabia and various other gulf states that were involved in committing atrocities in Syria? Infact the UAE, Saudi Arabia and many gulf states were re establishing ties with the Al-Assad regime before it finally fell. Ahmad Al-Sharaa is working with everybody who committed atrocities in Syria including Russia and America but not with Iran. I call upon the Syrian regime not to waste the sacrifices of the people of Syria, act wisely in this situation  and do not be fooled that Trump has praised Ahmad Al-Sharaa multiple times so the current Syrian regime will be safe. If the Syrian regime thinks that allying with America will save them then they are wrong because the Gulf countries also allied with America but America didn't save them from Iranian missiles. There is no guarantee of America and Israel and one day they will surely betray Syria. After getting rid of Iran they will eventually come to destroy Syria as well so you must bury your differences with Iran and must coordinate with Iran to prevent Israel from attacking Syria. Allah says in the Quran;

Your only guardians are Allah, His Messenger, and fellow believers—who establish prayer and pay alms-tax with humility. [Surah Al-Maidah Verse no.55]

Whoever allies themselves with Allah, His Messenger, and fellow believers, then it is certainly Allah’s party that will prevail. [Surah Al-Maidah Verse no.56]

As for the disbelievers, they are guardians of one another. And unless you ˹believers˺ act likewise, there will be great oppression and corruption in the land. [Surah Al-Anfal Verse no.73]

O believers! Do not take disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Would you like to give Allah solid proof against yourselves? [Surah An-Nisa Verse no.144]

These verses very clearly prohibit Muslims from allying with the enemies of Islam but an unfortunate reality is that most of the Muslim countries are very happy to ally with the enemies of Islam. By doing so they disobey Allah. These verses which I have mentioned here are important so keep them in your mind because they are also in regards to the next topic that I would discuss.

   The last thing which I would address is the presence of American military bases in the Middle East. Below is the image of American military bases present in the Middle East.

These military bases are the shackles that have enslaved the Ummah. They have brought nothing but chaos and destruction in the Ummah. These military bases were used to attack Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Libya etc and resulted in the deaths of millions of our Muslim brothers. In many ways these military bases are also used to protect Israel as well. These military bases should be dismantled and Iran has done really well to damage most of them. The reason why these military bases are present in the Middle East is because the leaders of the Ummah fear America more than they fear Allah. Now recall the verses of the Quran that I just mentioned earlier. Those verses prohibit Muslims from taking the disbelievers as allies and they also mention that disbelievers are only guardians of one another and our only guardian is Allah. Now I ask the Muslim rulers of the Middle East that why are you allying with the disbelievers by allowing American military bases to function in your countries? Don't you see that the disbelievers are only guardians of each other? This was also evident during the war when America only protected Israel from Iranian strikes but it wasn't much concerned about Iranian strikes in the gulf states. If you hadn't allowed American military bases to function in your countries then maybe you wouldn't be in this situation. Yes I know that Middle Eastern countries have got weak armies then why don't they strengthen their own armies? Allah says in the Quran that we Muslims are guardians of each other so instead of hosting American military bases in their countries why don't they allow other powerful Muslim countries such as Pakistan or Türkiye to have military bases in their countries? These American military bases are the cause of American hegemony in the region which has only brought destruction so they must be dismantled. I call upon the leaders of the Ummah to be united fear Allah and stand up to America and Israel. Since you are the leaders of the Ummah so it is your duty to safeguard the interests of the Muslim Ummah and establish justice. If you can not to this and can not stand upon to the enemies of Islam then step aside and hand over your power to those who are capable to lead the Ummah. If you think you are capable to lead the Ummah then prove your capability.

  O Allah guide the rulers of the Ummah and if their is no guidance in their fate then replace them with those who are worthy to rule the Ummah. O Allah grant Muslims courage to stand up to their rulers if they do something unlawful. O Allah unite the Ummah and eradicate the differences that are present between different Muslim countries. O Allah grant patience, strength and steadfastness to our Muslim brothers fighting oppression in Palestine, Kashmir, East Turkistan, Yemen, Myanmar, Iran, Sudan and elsewhere. O Allah give the Muslim Ummah the strength, courage and faith to help those who are being oppressed around the world.

Hadith Regarding Prohibition of cutting nails and hair in the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah for a person who wants to Sacrifice an Animal on Eid Al-Adha

Umm Salama, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ), reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to have said:

He who has a sacrificial animal with him whom (he intends) to offer as sacrifice, and he enters the month of Dhu'I-Hijja, he should not get his hair cut or nails trimmed until he has sacrificed the animal. [Sahih Muslim 1997g]

Hadith no.388

Hadith Regarding equal punishment for individuals belonging to higher and lower status for breaking the law

Narrated Aisha:

The Quraish people became very worried about the Makhzumiya lady who had committed theft. They said, "Nobody can speak (in favor of the lady) to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and nobody dares do that except Usama who is the favorite of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). " When Usama spoke to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about that matter, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do you intercede (with me) to violate one of the legal punishment of Allah?" Then he got up and addressed the people, saying, "O people! The nations before you went astray because if a noble person committed theft, they used to leave him, but if a weak person among them committed theft, they used to inflict the legal punishment on him. By Allah, if Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad committed theft, Muhammad will cut off her hand.!" [Sahih al-Bukhari 6788]

Hadith no.389

Sahih Hadith Regarding types of Animals disliked by Prophet Muhammad SAW for sacrifice

He said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: 'Four are not permissible for sacrifice: the one-eyed animal whose defect is obvious, the lame animal whose limp is obvious, the sick animal whose sickness is obvious, and the broken one that cannot walk properly.'" [Sahih Ibn Hibban 5922]

Hadith Regarding Virtues of First 10 days of Dhul Hijjah

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these (first ten days of Dhul Hijjah)." Then some companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Not even Jihad?"

Hadith no.392

Hadith Regarding Fasting on the Days of Arafah and Ashura

Abu Qatada reported that a person came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said:

How do you fast? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) felt annoyed. When 'Umar (Allah be pleased with him) noticed his annoyance, he said: We are well pleased with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our code of life, and with Muhammad as our Prophet. We seek refuge with Allah from the anger of Allah and that of His Messenger. 'Umar kept on repeating these words till his (the Prophet's) anger calmed down. Then Umar said: Messenger of Allah, what is the position of one who fasts perpetually? He (ﷺ) said: He neither fasted nor broke it, or he said: He did not fast and he did not break it. 'Umar said: What about him who fasts for two days and does not fast one day? He (ﷺ) said: Is anyone capable of doing that? He ('Umar) said: What is the position of him who fasts for a day and doesn't fast on the other day? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: That is the fast of David (peace be upon him). He ('Umar) said: What about him who fasts one day and doesn't fast for two days. Thereupon he (the Messenger of Allah) said: I wish I were given the strength to do that. Thereafter he (ﷺ) said: Fasting three days every month and that of Ramadan every year is a perpetual fasting. I seek from Allah that fasting on the day of 'Arafa(9th if Dhul Hijjah) may atone for the sins of the preceding and the coming years, and I seek from Allah that fasting on the day of Ashura(10th of Muharram) may atone for the sins of the preceding year. [Sahih Muslim 1162a]

Current Situation of the Ummah

      The situation of the Ummah is quite devastating. The Ummah is divided into sects and 57 countries which pursue their own national interest most of the time and care very little about the sufferings of Muslims around the world. Most of the leaders of the Ummah are not competent enough to lead the Ummah or are just greedy of power and wealth. They only care about pursuing their own worldly desires so they are devoid of any sort of desire for the upbringing of the Ummah. Many Muslim countries are so poor that they can't even give jobs or feed their people and many are too weak to even defend themselves militarily. All this is because all Muslim states do not think as an Ummah but as separate countries. At times the interests of some Muslim countries can even coincide or go against the interests of other Muslim countries.

The Ummah is in a very dire situation not only politically but economically, militarily, intellectually and ethically as well. It is due to these and many other problems that the Ummah is facing due to which our brothers in Palestine, Kashmir, East Turkistan, Myanmar, India, Yemen, Africa and elsewhere are suffering from oppression, poverty, illiteracy and genocide etc. It would not be justified to blame entirely the leaders of the Ummah or the Muslim governments for this dire situation as we ordinary Muslims can also be blamed to a certain extent for this pathetic situation of the Ummah. However more blame would still be on the leaders of Muslim countries because they are at the position of authority and have got the power to change the current situation of the Ummah but as I said earlier either they are incapable to do so or do not want to take any sort of concrete action for the betterment of the Ummah. Most of the leaders of the Muslim countries are either held hostage by their own worldly desires or fear the enemies of Allah more than they fear Allah. In this situation when all the Muslims around the world are suffering it is up to us 1.8 billion Muslims around the world to do something. Now many of you must be thinking that what can we do? You must also be wondering that if our rulers are not willing to do something and if our enemies are powerful than what can we do to stop them? Yes I admit that the enemies of Islam who spread injustice around the world are powerful but are they even more powerful that Allah the Almighty? We must trust Allah and try our best to change this current situation. The enemies of Islam who are oppressing our Muslim brothers and sisters around the world are powerful indeed but that doesn't mean that we should allow our Muslim brothers and sisters to be oppressed. Think of it this way would you allow all this to happen to your own brothers, sisters, parents or children? Would you leave them at the hands of tyrants and oppressors saying that they are powerful and your power is unmatched in front of them? No you wouldn't infact you would try your best for their freedom. Similarly you should also help your Muslim brothers and sisters because according to the Prophet Muhammad SAW Muslims are brothers to one an other and that a Muslim should help his brother if he is being oppressed. Another thing which I would like to mention is that their are about 1.8 billion Muslims around the globe so if we combine our efforts we can achieve this task of uplifting the Ummah. 

 Hajj and Sacrifice of Animals as sources of unity and uplifting of the Ummah

   The month of Dhul Hijjah is about to arrive. The first 10 days of this month are quite precious so we must worship and pray to Allah as much as we can about the forgiveness and the betterment of the Ummah. It is the month where Muslims who are capable enough act upon the Sunnah of Prophet Ibrahim A.S and sacrifice animals according to their own financial capabilities. Prophet Ibrahim was willing to sacrifice his most precious thing which was his son Ismael in the cause of Allah Almighty so that he can please Allah. Allah was so pleased with his effort that he put a ram in place of Prophet Ismael as a reward for his effort. Now I call upon all the Muslims around the world and the leaders of the Muslim countries in particular to sacrifice their worldly desires while acting upon the Sunnah of Prophet Ibrahim A.S so that we can stand up to the injustice happening around the world in a much better way because as long as we are held hostage to our own Nafs or our worldly desires we would remain cowards and would never be able to stand against injustice and tyranny. 

   The month of Dhul Hijjah is also the month in which Muslims from all around the world go to Makkah to perform Hajj for the sake of Allah. I will not go in the details of the method of performing Hajj because I am not a scholar and I do not have expertise in these matters. Anyhow as Muslims we all know that Hajj is a very special type of worship in Islam. Infact Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. Hajj is also a great opportunity where about 2 million Hajj pilgrims from various backgrounds, ethnicities and races join in Makkah to worship Allah Almighty. Think of it this way about 2 million Hajj pilgrims arriving in Makkah in order to worship Allah. If our Allah who we worship is one if our Deen which is Islam is one if our Kaaba which is also our Qibla is one then how can we be so divided into sects, races and nationalities? Muslims who have got so much in common should be the most united nation in this world but unfortunately that is not true. So all Muslims who are going to perform Hajj should realize this and work in their own respective capacities to unite the Ummah. The Khutbah which is one of the most important part of Hajj can be a great way to educate Hajj pilgrims regarding the Problems of the entire world and the possible solutions to these problems according to Quran and the Sunnah because Quran and the Sunnah are the only source of guidance for mankind. Unfortunately this doesn't happen because the Saudi government only allows a scripted Khutbah to be spoken by the Imam of the Kaaba which significantly limits the impact the Khutbah can have on the Hajj pilgrims. This opportunity should also be used by Muslims to pressure the Muslim leaders to take concrete steps for the betterment of the Ummah. It should serve as an opportunity for Muslims to signal the enemies of Islam that Muslims are not weak, coward or disunited and that Islam has not been defeated. They should know that despite the obstacles Muslims are united and will not bow down infront of injustice and tyranny. The global world order which has been led by America is collapsing and a vacuum of power is emerging. In this power vacuum new powers such as Russia and China etc are rising. In this situation it is very important for the Muslim Ummah to carve out a space of their own so that they can also emerge as the new centres of power. The Ummah has got the manpower, resources, geography and opportunity etc. to revive past glory and lead the world just like they have led in the past. What can we do to achieve this? For this we need to strengthen our ties with each other both on state level as well as on individual level. Hajj can serve as a very good opportunity for this for ordinary Muslims to form and strengthen brotherly bonds with each other. Whilst this world order is collapsing Muslims instead of allying themselves with China, Russia or America must ally with themselves and with Allah Almighty. Of course temporary alliances can be created with these world powers but that should not be at the cost of damaging the collective interest of the Ummah and neither should it be at the cost of our brothers who are being oppressed by these world powers. Allah says in the Quran;

Your only guardians are Allah, His Messenger, and fellow believers—who establish prayer and pay alms-tax with humility. [Surah Al-Maidah Verse no.55]

Whoever allies themselves with Allah, His Messenger, and fellow believers, then it is certainly Allah’s party that will prevail. [Surah Al-Maidah Verse no.56]

As for the disbelievers, they are guardians of one another. And unless you ˹believers˺ act likewise, there will be great oppression and corruption in the land. [Surah Al-Anfal Verse no.73]

These verses are quite clear that Muslims must ally themselves with each other to establish justice and to end corruption and oppression in the land. If all of us 1.8 billion Muslims are united on individual level then this could push the leaders of the Ummah as well to unite. If all of us are united then we could stand up to the injustice and tyranny that is taking place around the globe not just with Muslims but with Non Muslims as well. We have to be united for the sake of our oppressed brothers and sisters, to establish justice, for the upbringing of the Ummah and especially to please Allah Almighty because Allah has forbidden Muslims in the Quran from dividing themselves into sects. Allah says in the Quran;

And hold firmly together to the rope of Allah and do not be divided. Remember Allah’s favour upon you when you were enemies, then He united your hearts, so you—by His grace—became brothers. And you were at the brink of a fiery pit and He saved you from it. This is how Allah makes His revelations clear to you, so that you may be ˹rightly˺ guided. [Surah Al Imran Verse no.103]

Indeed, you ˹O Prophet˺ are not responsible whatsoever for those who have divided their faith and split into sects. Their judgment rests only with Allah. And He will inform them of what they used to do. [Surah Al Anam Verse no.159]

One major obstacle in the unity and strength of the Ummah are our own leaders. The reason why I once again like to call out the leaders of the Ummah is that I also mentioned earlier that they are at the position of authority and can work together to stand against injustice and for the unity of the Ummah but they choose not to do so. They have got the power to change the fortune of the Ummah and of the rest of the world. Not all but most of the leaders of the Ummah are slaves to their own worldly desires, their own greed and they are so slaves of the major world powers who spread injustice, tyranny and oppression around the globe. Yes I admit that at many instances Muslim leaders do some good things for which they should be applauded but at many instances they make decisions that are not beneficial to the Ummah. Apart from this there are many Muslim governments and leaders who oppress their own people. We must unite and stand against these sort of Muslim governments as well who instead of fighting against the enemies of Islam fight and oppress their own people. This could be one of many reasons why leaders of the Ummah do not stand against injustice committed by the major world powers and another reason could be that most of the time they fear the enemies of Allah more than they fear Allah. I call upon the leaders of the Ummah to sacrifice their worldly desires and your wealth just like how Prophet Ibrahim A.S willingly sacrificed his own son Prophet Ismael A.S. Similarly I call upon the Muslim rulers who oppress their own people to stop oppressing your own people and fear Allah. Do not forget that Pharaoh was also a tyrant but he faced Allah's wrath due to his wrongdoings.

   When we ordinary Muslims from different ethnic, racial and cultural background unite and stand against the enemies of Islam then this would be a strong message to them that despite the odds and despite their oppression, tyranny, corruption and injustice Muslims are united and strong and would never bow infront of them. We should also give a strong message to the Muslim rulers who serve their own individual interests instead of the interests of the Ummah and ally themselves with the enemies of Islam that if they do not do something to end this oppression and injustice then they should hand over their power to those who fear only Allah and are worthy to lead the Ummah. To achieve all this Muslims need to be united and throughout this article I have iterated that there is no better occasion to be united than Hajj and also Umrah. This is because these are the occasions where Muslims from all races, ethnicities, sects and background unite to please one Allah infront of the same Qibla which is the Kaaba underneath one sky. At last I would like to congratulate those who are performing Hajj and sacrificing their animals this year. May Allah accept their Hajj and their worship. May Allah give those people the opportunity to perform Hajj who couldn't do so this year. Those Muslims who will be sacrificing Animals this year May Allah accept their sacrifice. May Allah Almighty give all Muslims and the Muslim leaders the opportunity to sacrifice our Nafs and our desires with the same valour with which we will sacrifice animals on this Eid al-Adha. At last I want to congratulate Eid al-Adha in advance to the entire Ummah.

O Allah guide the rulers of the Ummah and if their is no guidance in their fate then replace them with those who are worthy to rule the Ummah. O Allah grant Muslims courage to stand up to their rulers if they do something unlawful. O Allah unite the Ummah and eradicate the differences that are present between different Muslim countries. O Allah grant patience, strength and steadfastness to our Muslim brothers fighting oppression in Palestine, Kashmir, East Turkistan, Yemen, Myanmar, Iran, Sudan and elsewhere. O Allah give the Muslim Ummah the strength, courage and faith to help those who are being oppressed around the world.

Thoughts on US and Israeli attacks on Iran

   

  The US and Israel launched an unprovoked attack on Iran which has resulted in the killing of many innocent Iranian civilians. It was expected that Israel can do such an attack because this was what happened last year as well when Iran and US were having talks and Israel attacked Iran. There are some important things which we need to focus here. The first thing is that it is very clear that the US and Israel want the Iranian regime to fall because if the Iranian regime falls then there would be no one to challenge Israel in the entire Middle East. The second important thing is that Israel doesn't want Iran to aquire Nuclear weapons because a Nuclear state like Iran can challenge US and Israeli ambitions. In my opinion one of the biggest mistake of Khamenei was to issue a fatwa which prevented Iran from acquiring Nuclear weapons which is quite surprising because to fight someone like the US and Israel who are themselves Nuclear armed states you must have Nuclear weapons yourself. This is also what I spoke about in one of my previous articles as well. The third important thing is that if the Iranian regime collapses and it is replaced by a regime which is Pro Israel or Pro American then it would be dangerous for the region especially for Türkiye and Pakistan which is the only Islamic Nuclear state in the world. Out of all the Islamic countries it is only Iran, Türkiye and Pakistan that have the capacity to counter Israel so it is quite probable that after a regime change in Iran the Israelis could target Türkiye or Pakistan as well. Infact many Israeli defense analyst already say that Türkiye is a big threat to Israel. Despite knowing this all of the Muslim countries are doing nothing except for condemning US and Israeli attacks on Iran. There are some people who are happy that Iran has been struck by Israel because the Iranian regime in the past have committed atrocities against them. Yes I admit that in the past Iran has conducted many atrocities across in Syria and elsewhere. I have always criticized Iran in my articles on conducting these atrocities but now the situation is different. Iran at the moment is facing oppression against an enemy which is even more oppressive then Iran. The Prophet Muhammad SAW also faced many atrocities by the disbelievers of Makkah but at the time of Conquest of Makkah the Prophet Muhammad forgave all of his enemies. So Muslims who have been oppressed by Iran in the past should forgive Iran and move forward. They should also do what the Prophet Muhammad SAW did with his enemies. Those who have been oppressed at the hands of Iran in the past must forgive Iran for the sake of Allah. If you think that Israel and Americans are your friends and they will stop after changing the regime in Iran then you are wrong. This was the same mistake which Iran made when the US invaded Iraq to finish Saddam's regime. Iran indirectly supported the US saying that 'Saddam was an enemy of Iran who killed millions of Iranians so his removal from power is justified' but now if you do the same which is to support or be joyful of American attacks on Iran then you would also regret it after twenty years just like Iran is regretting today. There are also some Muslims who are happy that Iran is under attack because of the sectarian and ideological differences that they have with the Iranian regime. Allah says in the Quran;

Indeed, you ˹O Prophet˺ are not responsible whatsoever for those who have divided their faith and split into sects. Their judgment rests only with Allah. And He will inform them of what they used to do. —[Surah Al-Anam Verse no.159]

It is quite clear from this verse that Allah forbids us not to be divided so I ask the Ummah and especially its rulers that why don't you act on this verse of the Quran? Why don't you act upon the saying of the Prophet Muhammad SAW in which he says that help your brother when he is being oppressed. Regardless of the differences the Ummah must help Iran because it is our brotherly Muslim nation. Is it nice to leave your brother alone when he is being oppressed just because you have some differences with him. Iran has conducted retaliatory strikes by attacking American bases in the gulf states and they have also launched missiles against Israel as well. Infact there are many Muslim countries that are condemning Iran for conducting retaliatory strikes against US bases in the gulf states but why aren't they condemning those gulf states for hosting US bases in their own countries. It is these bases from which the US has conducted strikes against Iran so it is completely justified for Iran to strike these bases. All those Muslim countries whether it is Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, the UAE etc. should be ashamed to host US bases in their own countries. These bases have also been used in the past to kill our brothers in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Palestine as well but like always all of these wealthy gulf states will not even bother to do anything to help their oppressed Iranian brothers infact they will do what their Lord which is the US tells them to do. They are stupid to believe that after finishing Iran the US and Israel will leave their respective Kingdoms alone. It is a pattern that has been repeated by the US to get rid of every regime that opposes American interests or which is against Israel's ambitions to create Greater Israel so today it is Iran tomorrow it will be your turn as well. All the Islamic countries must decide fast what to do. I have some questions from the leaders of the Ummah. Do you want to delay the inevitable of the US finishing your regimes as well which they eventually will or do you want to fight in the path of Allah and help your Iranian brothers? Do you want to live like cowards as slaves of America and Israel or do you want an honorary and respectable death in the path of Allah? Do you want to bow infront of the US or do you want to bow infront of Allah? O leaders of the Ummah How would you face Allah and his messenger on the day of Judgement? You were also silent when our brothers in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kashmir and East Turkistan were being murdered and if you remain silent now then this silence will be the cause of your demise as well. O leaders of the Ummah if you think that sitting idle in your Palaces will save you from death then you are wrong. Allah says in the Quran;

Wherever you may be, death will overcome you—even if you were in fortified towers.” When something good befalls them, they say, “This is from Allah,” but when something evil befalls them, they say, “This is from you.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Both have been destined by Allah.” So what is the matter with these people? They can hardly comprehend anything! [Surah An-nisa Verse no.78]

Another important thing which I would talk about is the role of Russia and China in this conflict. I admit that Russia and China have provided logistical support to Iran and they have good relations with many countries but they use Muslim countries merely as buffer zones against the US. They would never provide any meaningful help besides providing little bit of logistical support. They are not our allies. China is conducting a genocide against our Muslim brothers in East Turkistan and they are also oppressing Tibetans. Russia has been also involved in killing out brothers in Dagestan, Syria and elsewhere. All I am trying to say is that Muslims must unite with themselves rather then allying with the enemies of Islam and kill our brothers. The Muslim countries must form a bloc among themselves to challenge the West and play an active role in global politics. This bloc shouldn't be a dummy bloc like the OIC which does nothing. Allah says in the Quran;

Your only guardians are Allah, His Messenger, and fellow believers—who establish prayer and pay alms-tax with humility. [Surah Al-Ma'idah Verse no.55]

Whoever allies themselves with Allah, His Messenger, and fellow believers, then it is certainly Allah’s party that will prevail. [Surah Al-Ma'idah Verse no.56]

In regards to Iran acquiring Nuclear weapons then I think if a country wants to maintain its sovereignty then it must have nuclear weapons otherwise it would be very difficult for it to survive. This is one of the biggest mistakes that Iran made by not acquiring Nuclear weapons and wasting time conducting talks with the US on not acquiring Nuclear weapons. Pakistan is the only Muslim country to have nuclear weapons so all the Muslim countries should sign a Nuclear pact with Pakistan and also must acquire Nuclear weapons themselves as well. If our enemies who are definitely conspiring to eradicate us and Islam from this world have nuclear weapons then we a must also have them. Allah says in the Quran;

Prepare against them what you ˹believers˺ can of ˹military˺ power and cavalry to deter Allah’s enemies and your enemies as well as other enemies unknown to you but known to Allah. Whatever you spend in the cause of Allah will be paid to you in full and you will not be wronged. [Surah Anfal Verse no.60]

At last I would like to express my condolences to the Iranian people and our Shia brothers on the martyrdom of Ayatollah Khamenei. Although I had many differences with his policies and I have never shied away from criticizing Khamenei in my articles but I pray to Allah to forgive his sins and grant him a high status in Paradise. Indeed his loss is a huge loss for our Shia brothers, for Iran and for the Ummah and it would be difficult to fullfil his loss.

Conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan 

   Indeed it is sad to see two brotherly Muslim nations fight each other in this blessed month. The grievances that both Pakistan and Afghanistan have from each other must be taken seriously by both of them. These grievances must be resolved by both sides. Afghanistan shouldn't become a puppet at the hands of India against Pakistan and Pakistan should also not go to far in bombing terrorist sanctuaries in Afghanistan which can result in the collapse of the Taliban regime which could be disastrous for Pakistan and the entire region. Afghanistan should also stop support terrorists against Pakistani. At a time when our brotherly Muslim nation Iran is being attacked the two countries should focus on protecting Iran rather then fighting each other. Other Muslim countries must work to resolve this conflict.

O Allah accept the fasting and the worship performed by the Ummah during this Holy month of Ramadan. O Allah guide the rulers of the Ummah and if their is no guidance in their fate then replace them with those who are worthy to rule the Ummah. O Allah grant Muslims courage to stand up to their rulers if they do something unlawful. O Allah unite the Ummah and eradicate the differences that are present between different Muslim countries. O Allah grant patience, strength and steadfastness to our Muslim brothers fighting oppression in Palestine, Kashmir, East Turkistan, Yemen, Myanmar, Sudan and elsewhere. O Allah give the Muslim Ummah the strength, courage and faith to help those who are being oppressed around the world.

Had I not found it difficult for the people of my Ummah, then I would not remain behind any Army Unit going for Jihad and I would have loved to be martyred in Allah's cause and then made alive, and then martyred and then made alive, and then again martyred in His cause."

He Said: "I said: 'O Abu Hurairah! Sometimes I am behind an Imam.' He said: 'O Ibn Al-Farisi! Then recite it to yourself. For indeed I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: Allah, the Most High said: "I have divided the Salat between Myself and My slaves into two halves. Half of it is for Me, and half of it for My slave, and My slave shall have what he asks for. My slave stands and says: All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of All that exists." So Allah, Blessed is He and Most High says: "My slave has expressed his gratitude to Me." He says: "The Merciful, the Beneficent. So he says: "My slave has praised Me." He says: Owner of the Day of Reckoning. He says: "My slave has glorified Me. And this is for Me, and between Me and My slave is: It is You alone whom we worship and it is You alone from whom we seek aid" until the end of the Surah "This is for My slave and My slave shall have what he asks for."

Political Situation of the Ummah

   A lot has happened around the world since the last time I wrote my article so I will try my best to address the main political issues that have been happening around the world. First I would discuss about Palestine. Since the beginning of this so called ceasefire not even a single day has passed without Israel violating the ceasefire. Hamas and Palestinian resistance fought very well against Israel for about two years. After which a ceasefire agreement was signed between Hamas and Israel which was mediated by Trump and some of the Muslim countries as well. Now when Israel is violating the ceasefire and martyring innocent Palestinians where are the Muslim countries who mediated this ceasefire? It was their job to protect their Muslim brothers but they instead of protecting their brothers were eager to protect the interests of the US and Israel for which they should be ashamed of. O leaders of the Ummah do not fear the US more than you fear Allah as Allah is the only from whom Muslims should fear. The Ummah should wake up from its slumber before it is too late and before the oppression that the people of Palestine are facing reaches to their countries as well.

    The second issue which I would write on is about the situation in Yemen. The Saudis and the UAE for the last decade or so were fighting along side each other to crush the Yemeni resistance(mainly Houthis) and now after martyring so many innocent Yemenis they are fighting each other to gain influence in Yemen. I do not know much about the situation but as of now the Saudis have gained an upper hand and the UAE is starting to retreat a little. This is a good sign and probably one of the good things that the Saudis have done after a long time which is to fight against this menace known as the UAE which stabs the Ummah like a knife. The UAE has a history of sponsoring terrorist and militias which commit violence against Muslims and destabilize Muslim countries like Sudan and Somalia etc. Along with this they also have good ties with Israel. The UAE needs to be taught a lesson so that it can back away from its satanic ambitions. If I get back to the topic then in my opinion their should be reconciliation between the various Yemeni factions. The representative Yemeni factions should be allowed to decide the future of Yemen. The brave people of Yemen should be allowed to live with freedom and dignity. There shouldn't be any Saudi, Emirati, Iranian or any other sort of external influence as these countries have only fought a proxy war against each other in Yemen that has resulted in the destruction of Yemen and martyring of countless innocent Yemenis.

    The third thing which I would discuss is the situation in Syria regarding the fight between SDF and the Syrian regime. I don't know much about the situation on ground but I think that the SDF should surrender. A settlement should be reached where the Kurds and rest of the minorities in Syria should be integrated in the New Syrian regime. They should have rights. The elements within the Syrian minorities which work to destabilize Syria should be identified and eradicated. Of course their should be freedom to criticize the Syrian regime and Ahmad Al Sharaa as no one is free from making mistakes but their shouldn't be violence in the name of protests. Similarly the Syrian regime should also be cautious in dealing with protests, political descent and difference of opinion. The Syrian regime should also comply with the rightful demands of those who criticize them and should not fullfil those demands which are unrightful. If they also commit violence against Protestors who are criticizing then they wouldn't be any different from the Al Assad regime. Various factions in Syria should be united under one banner to fight against a bigger enemy which is Israel but for this Syria should be united, strong and prosperous.

     The fourth thing I would discuss is the protests in Iran. It is without a doubt that there are elements within these protests that are backed by the US and Israel to manipulate these protests inorder to destabilize Iran. They fear Iran and also don't want Iran to gain Nuclear weapons so they want to replace the Iranian regime with the Shah who is a puppet of US and Israel. Iranian economy is in turmoil because of heavy and unjust US sanctions.  While all of this is true that I have stated above is true are but the fact of the matter is that these protests have also something to do with some of the mistakes committed by the Iranian regime. The Iranian regime should deal with these protests cautiously and should listen to and comply with their rightful demands. Of course those elements promoting violence should be eradicated but not those who are protesting peacefully as according to Islam it is their right to stand up to their ruler if the ruler does something wrong. Iranian regime should also correct some of its mistakes and seek forgiveness from Allah for some of the sins that have been committed by them. It shouldn't deal with peaceful protestors harshly like it has done through our their history. The Iranian regime shouldn't fall and for it not to fall it should attain Nuclear weapons. It should also spend more time fighting Israel and the US rather then spending time creating chaos in other Muslim countries. Anyhow with all the differences I have with the Iranian regime I pray to Allah that they don't fall because if the Iranian regime falls then it would be bad for the Ummah, for the Palestinians, for the region and it would be beneficial only to the US and Israel.

    The last thing which I would write on is the kidnaping of the Venezuela's President Maduro by the US. This is completely wrong and unjust but the US is fond of commiting such acts. As my article is getting too long so I would try to address this issue in a more detailed manner in the my next article. They have also done such things in Iraq and Libya but the difference here was that while removing the regimes in Libya and Iraq they intentionally killed millions of innocent Muslims whereas in Venezuela hardly anyone was killed. Another thing which is worth noticing is that Venezuela had strong ties with China and Russia but they couldn't do anything to save Maduro. The reality is that these world powers would never fight against each other face to face but they will use other relatively weaker countries like Venezuela or Ukraine as proxies against each other. For example Venezuela was being used by China and Russia against the US and Ukraine was being used by the US against Russia. Whenever their interests suits them these world powers will not shy away from abandoning their proxies. In regards to this the Muslim countries also need to think about something. They should not depend so heavily on these world powers. All the Muslim countries should form a strong alliance with each other and should end the grievances that they have with each other. The Muslims instead of allying with the US, Russia or China should instead ally themselves with Allah. In the past few days their have been talks of Türkiye seeking to enter into a defence deal that was previously formed between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. There have also been talks of arms deal between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and Sudan. Over the past few months there have been growing cooperations have between Türkiye and Iran and also Iran and Saudi Arabia. These are very good signs for the Ummah that the Ummah is starting to unite. Hopefully by the Grace of Allah this will bring unity and strength to the Ummah.

O Allah guide the rulers of the Ummah and if their is no guidance in their fate then replace them with those who are worthy to rule the Ummah. O Allah grant Muslims courage to stand up to their rulers if they do something unlawful. O Allah unite the Ummah and eradicate the differences that are present between different Muslim countries. O Allah grant patience, strength and steadfastness to our Muslim brothers fighting oppression in Palestine, Kashmir, East Turkistan, Yemen, Myanmar, Sudan and elsewhere. O Allah give the Muslim Ummah the strength, courage and faith to help those who are being oppressed around the world.
