We are
living in the End Times where millions of Muslim women and children who’ve been
left unclaimed are being martyred or are deprived of their right to lead humane
lives, all around the world. Today in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, and
Libya, small children are opening their eyes to the sound of exploding bombs,
thousands of Muslims are living under the constant threat of death and trying
to hold on to life in utterly ruined and abandoned cities. ...
Who would
want to experience this grueling journey, thirsty and starving, with the
constant fear of death lurking behind? Who would want to experience the loss of
a child? What changed from little body of Baby Aylan being washed ashore, whose
photo received only a few days of coverage in the world press? The whole world
is silent and calm, as if they are watching a movie; ...
When a
Syrian living in the war zone is asked: “How were you affected by the photo of
Aylan?”, his answer reveals the naked truth of atrocity and violence in Syria:
“In Aleppo, I saw body parts of babies hanging from the trees. We drained our
tears long before Aylan.”
There are
thousands of Muslims who are forced to migrate from a large number of countries
such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Myanmar, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen,
Central African Republic, and in particular, Syria. These people choose to risk
their lives on a dangerous journey, fleeing to another country instead of
living in their homes for fear of their lives. ...
Alaa Houd,
who, after his inflatable boat started to leak water, tried to swim to the
Greek islands for 3 hours until the Greek Coast Guard found him, explains that
he didn’t fear death:
“I wasn’t
frightened. Because for the last three years of my life, in Syria, I was face
to face with death everyday. Swimming in the sea is nothing compared to what I
experienced in Syria. In Syria, people walk on the streets and bombs start to
rain upon them.”
This Ramadan
is the time for 1,700,000,000 Muslims to wake up and band together as one.
Against cruelty, we should all together create a great deluge of love using
reason, with knowledge, with sincerity and refinement, and with a deep love for
God, with the spirit of guardianship toward one another. With this fervour of
unity, we shall not let another innocent child or woman be martyred and not
leave even a single person lost and unclaimed in the Muslim world.
“What reason
could you have for not fighting in the Way of God: — for those men, women, and
children who are oppressed and say, ‘Our Lord, take us out of this city whose
inhabitants are wrongdoers! Give us a protector from You! Give us a helper from
You!’?” (Surat an-Nisa’, 75)

join as one heart for millions of ‘unclaimed’ Muslims

We are living in the End Times where millions of Muslim
women and children who’ve been left unclaimed are being martyred or are
deprived of their right to lead humane lives, all around the world. Today in
Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Libya, small children are opening their
eyes to the sound of exploding bombs, thousands of Muslims are living under the
constant threat of death and trying to hold on to life in utterly ruined and
abandoned cities. Who would want to migrate to another country leaving their
spouse, children, mother, father, history, past, and the land where they were
born behind? Who would want to experience this gruelling journey, thirsty and
starving, with the constant fear of death lurking behind? Who would want to
experience the loss of a child? What changed from little body of Baby Aylan
being washed ashore, whose photo received only a few days of coverage in the
world press? The whole world is silent and calm, as if they are watching a
movie; they all just continue to watch the refugees disembogued right into the
sea and martyred.
When a Syrian living in the war zone is asked: “How were you
affected by the photo of Aylan?”, his answer reveals the naked truth of
atrocity and violence in Syria: “As a Syrian who lived in Syria until 2015, I
was not affected by it at all. In Aleppo, I saw body parts of babies hanging
from the trees. We drained our tears long before Aylan.”
There are thousands of Muslims who are forced to migrate
from a large number of countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Myanmar,
Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Central African Republic, and in particular,
Syria. These people choose to risk their lives on a dangerous journey, fleeing
to another country instead of living in their homes for fear of their lives. Dozens
of people leave their homes to sail out onto open sea in one small inflatable
boat. With hope for a better life, they travel in freight coolers or hang from
train doors. Without knowing what their future entails, they try to escape
their country by digging under barbed wire. Alaa Houd, who, after his
inflatable boat started to leak water, tried to swim to the Greek islands for 3
hours until the Greek Coast Guard found him, explains that he didn’t fear
death:
“I wasn’t frightened. Because for the last three years of my
life, in Syria, I was face to face with death everyday. Swimming in the sea is
nothing compared to what I experienced in Syria. In Syria, people walk on the
streets and bombs start to rain upon them.”
In 2011, when the Arab Spring began, the number of refugees
who lost their lives in the Mediterranean Sea alone was between 1,500 and
1,900. In 2015, this number increased to 3,772. The number of people who lost
their lives in the Mediterranean Sea in the first four months of 2016, is
1,232. And in the last 5 years, 25,000 refugees lost their lives in the
Mediterranean Sea. There were also thousands of lost people who couldn‘t be
identified. If we consider the fact that there is little to no chance that
these people will reach the shores of Europe, it is thought that these 20,000
people who are unaccounted for have very likely lost their lives in the sea.
In this month of Ramadan, while the screams of innocent
Muslims from all around the world rise to the skies, while the Middle East is
drenched in a bloodbath, every individual Muslim has a lot to accomplish, a lot
to strive toward. This era, the End Times, it is time for Muslims to wake up;
it is time to open our cognizance. It is time to unite, and band together as
one under one banner to stand against the cruelty of these systems of the
Antichrist using knowledge. It is neither the European Union, nor America that
will put an end to the suffering of the Muslims. It is the Muslims who will end
this suffering, the Muslims who will unite for a common goal without making any
discrimination among the Shiites, Sunnis, Wahabis or Alevis, who will ensure
unity and brotherhood among themselves, Muslims who prostrate before the same
God and wholeheartedly believe in the same Book. Muslims’ friends, protectors,
and family are again Muslims. Without wasting any time, Muslims should abandon
sectarian and racist thoughts, rid themselves of dissensions, conflicts and
hostility, and we should certainly unite under the core values of the Qur’an.
Because it was Satan who created this turmoil, this unrest among Muslims and it
is in turn Muslims who are harmed by it. If Muslims band together as one, as a
single body, if they stand against this system of the Antichrist as a whole,
using knowledge and faith, like an unshakable barrier, it is obvious there will
be no more small bodies to bury.
This Ramadan is the time for 1,700,000,000 Muslims to wake
up and band together as one. Against cruelty, we should all together create a
great deluge of love using reason, with knowledge, with sincerity and
refinement, and with a deep love for God, with the spirit of guardianship
toward one another. With this fervour of unity, we shall not let another
innocent child or woman be martyred and not leave even a single person lost and
unclaimed in the Muslim world.
“What reason could you have for not fighting in the Way of
God: — for those men, women, and children who are oppressed and say, ‘Our Lord,
take us out of this city whose inhabitants are wrongdoers! Give us a protector
from You! Give us a helper from You!’?” (Surat an-Nisa’, 75)
