This is my article about the current conflict between Iran and Israel. I will not write about the current situation because it will be constantly evolving as time passes. My main focus in this article will be to address the response the Ummah should give in this situation.
Israel and all of its Western backers especially the US have always wanted to destabilize the Muslim countries and the Middle East. They have always wanted that no Muslim country should have nuclear weapons because if they do then it would be a great threat to the US and the Zionist gang that has occupied Palestine. This is the reason that the for the last Seven Decades West has helped its puppet regimes to come in to power in all Middle Eastern countries so that they don't pose any threat to the Zionist expansion i.e 'Greater Israel'. We have got countless examples of what has happened to those Arab regimes who don't bow down to the US or Israel. For example what happened to Gaddafi and Saddam? I am not saying that they were Angels. They were absolute tyrants and committed atrocities with there own people but they also did not bow down to the US and Israel and were removed brutally. They were a threat to the American interests in the region. Similarly Israel and the US also did not wanted Pakistan to have nuclear weapons and they tried to put maximum pressure on Pakistan so it does not aquire nukes but all in vain and Pakistan became successful in acquiring nukes. Now Iran is also pursuing its goal to attain nuclear weapons and the US and Israel can't allow another Muslim country to have nuclear weapons so that is why Israel has attacked Iran. I am not saying that the Iranian regime hasn't been indulged in any wrongdoings. We all know that what Iran and its proxies did in Syria and Iraq and various other Middle Eastern countries. Infact it was involved to remove Saddam in Iraq along with the US. The point which I am trying to emphasize is that the US, Israel and there allies fear a Muslim country that has got a strong military or possess nuclear weapons because it is a serious threat to their evil interests. There is a long history of the CIA orchestrating regime change operations and military coups in Muslim countries against those regimes or leaders that were a threat to American, Western and Israeli interests in the region. They also fear those regimes or people coming in to power that would work for the implementation of Shariah in Muslim countries. If such people do come into power then they would do the same thing which they did with Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. The leader of the Terrorist, Zionist gang Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel's fight is not with the people of Iran but with the Iranian regime. This is the same thing that the US did while removing Saddam but before removing Saddam US and its allies murdered millions of Iraqi Civilians and after that Iraq was in shambles. These are the same lies that they propagated while removing Gaddafi while killing millions of innocent Libyans and making Libya a living hell. Similarly this is what Israel has done while while fighting Hamas in Palestine but in the guise of this they have martyred thousands of Palestinians. In short these are just lies which they propagate but their main goal is to subdue the Muslim Ummah.
This part of my article addresses those Muslims who are happy with the current Israeli attacks on Iran due to their sectarian and ideological differences with Iran. First I would start with this verse of the Holy 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]
This verse of the Holy Quran very clearly orders Muslims not to indulge in sectarianism and orders us to be united. There are also couple of Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH which very clearly state Muslims not to harbour any grudges against there Muslim brothers.
On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah SAW said:
The gates of Paradise will be opened on Mondays and on Thursdays, and every servant [of Allah] who associates nothing with Allah will be forgiven, except for the man who has a grudge against his brother. [About them] it will be said: Delay these two until they are reconciled; delay these two until they are reconciled. It was related by Muslim (also by Malik and Abu Dawud). [Hadith no.20 of 40 Hadith Qudsi by Imam Nawawi]
Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Prophet SAW said, "Do not harbour grudge against one another, nor jealousy, nor enmity; and do not show your backs to one another; and become as fellow brothers and slaves of Allah. It is not lawful for a Muslim to avoid speaking with his brother beyond three days." [Riyad us Saliheen 1567]
All these Hadith of Prophet Muhammad PBUH and the Verse from Surah al-Imran of the Holy Quran very clearly advise Muslims not to show there backs to there fellow Muslims whenever they are in a dire situation. They also advise us not to harbour grudges against each other.
Rest of the Ummah should help Iran instead of being neutral or aiding Israel. The rest of the Ummah should not think of any sectarian or ideological differences with Iran rather it should focus to fight a bigger enemy which is Israel. The ideological and sectarian differences with Iran should not be placed above the rulings of Allah and his messenger. Those who are happy of the Israeli strikes in Iran due to sectarian differences should fear Allah and I must say that in this situation even Israel is better then them because whenever Israel kills innocent Muslims in Palestine, Syria, Iran, Yemen or anywhere else they never discriminate in killing the Shias or the Sunnis. It thinks of all the Muslims(Shias and Sunnis) as its enemies but there is a very small minority in the Sunni Muslims who are happy for Israeli strikes in Iran because Iran is Shia. The above-mentioned Hadith and the Verse from Holy Quran orders Muslims not to hold grudges against one another so why are you disobeying the orders of Allah and his messenger. They should understand that now is not the time to address these sectarian differences or to hold past grudges against Iran but to fight the biggest threat to the entire Ummah which is Israel. In the verse which I mentioned above Allah orders Muslims not to be divided and hold firmly to the rope of Allah which is the Quran. Those who are happy with Israeli strikes within Iran due to there sectarian/ideological differences with Iranian regime should read this verse and the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad PBUH and fear Allah. Those happy due to Israel's attack on Iran are the same people who used to accuse the Iranian regime of being Israeli agents that conspire against the Ummah. Even when Iran attacked Israel twice last year they used to argue that they are just mere fireworks and again reiterated there false accusations on the Iranian regime. These people should know that Iranians are the ones who are actually helping the Palestinian resistance like Hamas against Israel for which they should be applauded. Although they still could have done a lot more but still they have done much better then rest of the Ummah. While I also know that Iran has also committed various atrocities along with its proxies in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq. When Iran should be appreciated for the good things that it has done it should also be held accountable for its misdoings but as I said before and I would say it again that now is not the time for this because now the Ummah and especially the Middle East is under a bigger threat which is Israel. We should resolve our internal conflicts and differences later when the Ummah gets out of the current situation. The entire Muslim Ummah should not behave immaturely and also discourage all those who are showing such an immature and childish behavior. I appeal the entire Muslim Ummah to stand with Iran in this situation because if the Iranian regime falls and Iran falters then the West would not stop here but would spread this chaos into other Muslims countries to destabilize and subdue them. Israel did not stop after attacking Hamas in Palestine but also attacked neighbouring Muslim countries like Syria, Lebanon and Yemen so do you really think they would just stop after attacking or subduing Iran?
What role should Turkiye, Pakistan and Syria play?
This part of my blog mainly addresses the role Turkiye, Pakistan and Syria can play in the Iran-Israel Conflict. I would start with the following verses from the Holy Quran.
The believers are but one brotherhood, so make peace between your brothers. And be mindful of Allah so you may be shown mercy. [Surah al-Hujarat verse no.10]
In another verse Allah says;
The believers, both men and women, are guardians(allies) of one another. They encourage good and forbid evil, establish prayer and pay alms-tax, and obey Allah and His Messenger. It is they who will be shown Allah’s mercy. Surely Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. [Surah at-Tawbah verse no.71]
There are also some Hadith of Prophet Muhammad regarding helping other Muslims when they are being oppressed.
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is an oppressed one. People asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! It is all right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "By preventing him from oppressing others."
The reason why I am addressing Pakistan, Turkiye and Syria is because in the past Iran has been involved in hostile policies in one form or another against all these three nations. What Iran did was wrong and it should be questioned for what they have done but the point which I have emphasized through out this article and I will emphasize on it once again that now the Ummah is in a much bigger crisis so at the moment instead of questioning Iran's past misdoings all these three nations should stand with Iran. All of us are Muslims and Allah has ordered us to make peace with other Muslim brothers. Allah also says we are allies to one another. Similarly Prophet Muhammad SAW has also ordered us to help our brothers when they are being oppressed. There were some media reports which suggest that when Iran fired drones at Israel some of them were intercepted over Syrian airspace. What were Syrian authorities and there Turkish backers doing when Israel was using Syrian airspace to defend itself? If these media reports are true then Syrian and Turkiye should fear Allah and follow the commandments of Allah and his messenger and help Iran no matter how much differences you have with Iran. They should not place their ego and their differences with Iran above the rulings of Allah and his messenger.
After Iran it is very likely that the US and Israel will pursue to destabilize Turkiye or Pakistan because as I have said before that there goal is to destabilize any Muslim country that is militarily strong or possess nuclear weapons. Turkiye, Pakistan and Iran are the most powerful armies in the Muslim world. We all know what Pakistan did to India in their recent conflict and they also possess nuclear weapons so they will also be on the radar if they do not bow to the US. The same goes for Turkiye which is also a threat to Israel after Turkish backed Ahmad al-Sharaa was able to gain power in Syria. The hostility between Israel and Turkiye has grown further. If all these Muslim countries i.e Iran, Turkiye and Pakistan falter then there is no Muslim nation left that can pose any significant threat to the West or Israel. Turkiye played a very positive role and helped Pakistan in there fight against India for which they should be appreciated. Now they must do the same and help Iran against Israel. Both Turkiye and Pakistan should supply weapons to Iran. Turkish drones are very good so it should supply these drones to Iran. Similarly both Turkiye and Pakistan should share intelligence with Iran as well. Syria at the moment is not strong enough to fight Israel but at least they should not allow there airspace to be used by Israel. They should remember that Israel has also been causing insurgency to destabilize Syria as well and has been frequently bombing Damascus as well so after Iran they could also be a target to Israeli terrorism. US, France and many Western nations have vowed to support Israel militarily against Iran. If Pakistan, Turkiye and Syria are silent or do not take any concrete steps to help Iran like how US and many Western countries are helping Israel then this chaos will definitely spread to Pakistan and Turkiye as well along with destabilizing Syria as well. As Israel has targeted Palestine, Yemen, Syria and Iraq so after getting rid of Iran they would target Turkiye and Pakistan. If Iran, Turkiye and Pakistan are weakend or removed then is no one left in the Ummah that can challenge West and its colonial outpost which is Israel.
This part of my article is about those Muslim nations which are already enslaved by the US. I would start with the following verse from the Holy Quran;
"Let not believers take disbelievers as allies rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing with Allah , except when taking precaution against them in prudence. And Allah warns you of Himself, and to Allah is the [final] destination." [Surah al-Imran verse no.28]
This verse very clearly forbids Muslims to form alliances with those who are enemies of Allah. Some media reports say that when Israel fired drones and missiles at Israel then Jordanian government allowed Israel to use its airspace but when Iran fired missiles at Israel in retaliation Jordan not only closed its airspace but also shoot down some missiles so that they don't reach Israel. By doing so they proved there treachery to the Ummah and loyalty to the US and Israel. The people or Jordan are brave and they are not slaves of the West like the Jordanian government. The brave people of Jordan must pressure there government to not do such treachery with the Ummah and hold their government accountable. The same could be said for Egypt although it is not involved in Israel-Iran conflict but it has betrayed the Palestinians. The brave people of Egypt should also hold their treacherous government accountable for this treachery.
Conclusion
The rest of the Ummah should not be silent like it has been silent during Israeli aggression in Palestine, Syria, Yemen and elsewhere. Muslim governments should not behave as Vassal states of the West. The entire Muslim Ummah should protest to pressure there governments to take concrete steps to help Iran. All Muslim nations should help Iran militarily or at least help them in supplying Weapons, Intelligence and funding. The Muslim governments should also help Iran diplomatically as well so that they don't squeeze under US pressure. If Israel is not stopped now and the Iranian regime collapses then there is no stopping US or Israel and there goal to subdue the Ummah. The collapse of the Iranian regime will definitely have spill over effects in the entire region. Iran will be under a lot of pressure to give up its ambitions for nuclear technology. It is Iran's right to have nuclear technology just like every other country to become self-sufficient in energy sector.All the Muslim Ummah should side with Iran and support it in this ambition. The entire Ummah should pray for Iran so that it remains steadfast against Israel and should not allow Iran to collapse. Otherwise it could become another Libya or Iraq.
