Introduction
This forgotten land had many conflicts between different civilizations, between Islam and Infidelity, between right and wrong and between Tawheed and Shirk. These conflicts were the use of weapons or cold to describe, discuss and summon. The last conflict is the one brought about by the text of the Sykes-Picot Treaty dated 1916 between Britain and France. Allaah, His Prophet and history have given us different attributes of this earth. These qualities have made every nation contest it.
Muslim Ideology on This Land
1. Glorious Land:
Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aalaa) says:
O my people! Enter the purified land which Allaah has ordained for you, and do not turn back to flee (fighting), then you will become losers.
[Al-Maaidah: 21]
Has this verse given the Jews a direct inheritance on the land of Palestine? Is this a legacy of responsibilities or a dam?
Allaah says the following about the Prophet Ibrahim ('Alayhis-salaam):
And when He was tested by Ibrahim and his Rabb with many commands, he fulfilled them. He said: Verily I make thee an Imam of men. (Ibrahim) He said: And in my generation? He (Allaah) said: My wrong promise does not reach the unjust. [Al-Baqarah: 124]
What could be more wrong than the Jews to do to our brothers in Palestine? In particular, highlight what happened from March 29, 2002 to our present time.
2. Blessed Land:
This land is spiritually blessed and rich. It is this that has caused people and different civilizations to compete. The Old Testament tells us that the land was filled with honey and milk. (Numbers, 13:27) And in the Book of Numbers Chapter 13 tells us that the spies of the Prophet Moses ('Alayhis Salaam) found in it the fruits of the delicacies, figs and olives which were large and each fruit carried by two people. Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aalaa) says:
"... until Al-Masjid Al-Aqswaa whom We have blessed that is around it; ...."
[Al-Israa: 1].
But all the land of Palestine is blessed. Allaah says:
And We saved him and Luwtw towards the land which We have blessed in the worlds. [ Al-Anbiyaa: 71]
3. Rusuli Land:
In this land the different Prophets either migrated or were born and lived in their childhood or made Da'wah and were buried in this place or visited for a short time. Among them are Prophets like Ibraaheem, Ismaa'iyl, Is-haaq, Ya'quub, Luut, David, Sulaymaan, Zakariyyaa, Yahyaa, 'Iysaa and Muhammad.
4. Land of Revelation:
Revelation is what you have been up until now building the civilization and culture of different people. Among the Books revealed from Allaah in this land are the Suhuf of Nabiy Ibraahiym, the Psalms of Prophet Dawud, the Injil of the Prophet 'Iysa and also some verses in Suwrah Al-Zukhruf in the Qur'aan.
5. The Land of Israel Wal Mi'iraaj:
This is the night journey sent to Nabiy Muhammad (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam). Israa is a journey from the Holy Mosque of Makkah to Baytul Maqdis. Mi'iraaj is the stairs from Baytul Maqdis to the seventh cloud. The best result of this journey is the recitation of this Ummah five prayers, day and night. The first prayer of the jama'a h was held at the Holy Mosque of 'Aqswaaa where the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) offered all the Rusuli (' Alayhim-salaam). this reminds us every time we pray our very close relationship with this earth.
6. Land of the Aqswaa Mosque:
This mosque was the first qibla for Muslims. For 16 or 18 months after the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his Companions migrated to Madinah they were turning their faces towards Baytul Maqdis until Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aalaa) changed it by revealing verses 144 and 150 of Suwrah Al-Baqarah. This mosque is the third most glorious after the Holy Mosque of Makkah and the Mosque of Nabiy Muhammad Madiynah. One prayer in this Mosque is 500 times more rewarding than any other Mosque except the Mosque of Makkah and Madiynah. (At-Twabaraaniy)
So every Muslim in the world is very eager to go and visit and pray in it. But do we know what this Mosque is? Most of us know the Mosque which is published in newspapers and magazines, shown on television, in calendars, pictures posted in homes, etc. This Mosque I am talking about has a unique character and is known for having a yellow or gold Qubba. But my dear brethren, Masjidul 'Aqswaa is the whole area which is located in four walls including Masjid Qubbatus Swakhraa (Qubba Mosque of Jabali or Dome of the Rock), Masjidul' Aqswaa (this was built after that of Qubbatus Swakhraa), Masjid Marwani, the trees that are inside, the schools and the walls themselves. This whole place is glorious and is the Mosque of 'Aqswaa without any distinction between all Islamic scholars.
7. Land of the Companions:
The noble Companions fought for this land and succeeded after the tawfiq of Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) ruled it. The 200 Companions who took part in the Battle of Badr were in the forefront of capturing the city of al-Quds. About 18,000 of the Companions' tombs are found in this land.
8. Land of Jihad, Rescue and Final War:
Wars will be fought between Muslims on the one hand and Jews on the other. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) tells us:
"The Resurrection will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews. The Jews will be killed and made to hide behind trees and stones which will say: 'O Muslim! O servant of Allaah! Come after me there is a Jew and kill him…" [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
Conclusion
Our brothers are being killed every hour and minute. What can we do to help our brothers in this land of ours?
1. Let us know Allaah well and increase our Faith by following the teachings of Islam and abandoning its prohibitions. Let's bow to 'Ibaadah.
2. Let's start boycotting the products of Israel and the United States who are his friends of the ring and the ring and of the state and property. For example, we should not buy coca-cola company soda and pepsi cola, kiwi color and other products. The coca-cola and pepsi companies are actively supporting Israel, as well as Sainsbury, Debenham, Marks & Spenser stores and restaurants at McDonald's, Kentucky and many other restaurants that are too many to list here.
3. Let us not forget our brothers in Du'aa even after praying for ourselves especially when we are in sijdah, when we travel, when we fast, when we get up at night for Tahajjud prayer, etc.
Remember It Is The Only Struggle That Can Redeem This Land
