Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. said, "Whoever dies without having striven for the cause of Allah or having had the intention of doing so, has died following one of the branches of hypocrisy." (reported by Muslim)
There are many steps we can undertake to show solidarity with our brothers and sisters and to protest the unjust occupation of their land. The main thing is for us to propagate the cause by denouncing the oppression, and to use all available resources to help the suffering Palestinians morally and financially.
-
Pray for the safety and well-being of our Palestinians brothers and sisters, and implore Allah to grant the fighters victory over their enemies.
-
Recite Qunut An-Nazilah, a kind of special prayer recommended in time of calamities and tragedies.
-
Finance the institution of those who fight in Allah's cause by donating to the Palestinian people and Al-Aqsa Mosque through trustworthy channels.
-
Support the weak and the oppressed in all ways, including the media as well as the Internet.
-
Get scholars, du'at, Imams as well as Muslim writers to explain the oppression that is happening to the fellow Muslims and the negligence on the part of the ummah, and to mobilise the ummah to defend the holy land.
-
Boycott the products of the "Israelis" and their proxies, as well as condemning their atrocities and barbarism.
-
Write letters of support for the Palestinian cause to our local media, members of the Parliament, the United Nations and various other national / international agencies.
-
Support the Islamic organisations all over the world which are staging peaceful demonstrations or making petitions.
-
Increase our own knowledge about the Palestinian issue.
Basically, we should spread the word through any means possible, for example by distributing pamphlets; writing articles; organising exhibitions, "Save Al-Aqsa" campaigns, talks on Palestine and fundraising concerts; composing songs and lyrics; circulating solidarity for Palestine postcards; screening documentaries; writing short stories and novels; giving talk shows on the TV and radio; writing scripts for dramas and films and a variety of other ways |
