Narrated Abu Huraira Prophet said : 'The person who participates in (fighting) in Allah's cause and nothing compels him to do so except belief in Allah and His Apostles will be recompensed by Allah either with a reward or booty, or will be admitted to Paradise (if martyred). 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."

Hadith Regarding Prohibition of Looking into Someone's house without Permission

Sahih Hadith Regarding Reciting Surah Al Fatiha during Salah
Narrated Al-'Ala bin 'Abdur-Rahman:
from his father, from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever performs a Salat in which he does not recite Umm Al-Qur'an(Surah Al Fatiha) in it, then it is aborted, it is aborted, not complete." 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." So he says: Guide us to the straight path. The path of those upon whom You have bestowed your favor, not those with whom is Your wrath, now those who are astray."[Jami Al Tirmidhi 2953]

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.
