Duahs for Palestine

 

The holy month of Ramadan is a time of special signififcance for devout Muslims around the world. During this august spiritual occasion, they observe pious acts of Faith in remembrance of Divine commands, and engage in worshipful prayers seeking Divine mercy and grace for personal and social benefits, and for peace and justice in the world, for the welfare of the Muslim Ummah and global humanity. This year, on 28 March 2025~27 Ramadan 1446 AH, on the blessed occassion of the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, the living servant of Islam and holy founder of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International, Hazrat Imam Al Mahdi Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius, delivered a spiritually- illuminating Friday Sermon on the highway to God, explaining the profound meaning of Islam and Imaan. 

Being Muslim entails a commitment to justice and fairness; a rejection of oppression and persecution; resistance to disorder and domineering through lawful means and methods; and invocation of soulful prayers for change of fortunes in favour of the oppressed peoples. Reproduced below are extracts from the aforesaid Friday Sermon containing fervent supplications to the Almighty Allah by this humble servant and elect of God Almighty seeking erasure of a genocidal order in Israel and the emancipation of the oppressed in Palestine:


'When you look at what is happening outside, especially in Palestine, small children – little ones – are sacrificing and keeping fasts with just a sip of water. They have nothing to break their fast with, nothing to eat for Sehri/ Suhur; what kind of hardship they are going through. Some have lost their parents; some have lost their wives, some have lost their husbands, some have lost their children – all because of the oppression that these tyrants are committing. So, this month of Ramadan is a month for us to perform Jihad against these people. Our Jihad is not to throw bombs, not to take swords in our hands, not to kill. Our Jihad is to turn towards the One Who holds all power, that is, Allah; and it is Allah Who can bring an end to them for the kind of oppression they have committed. 

 

This kind of oppression, making these people suffer, destroying their homes and forcing them to live in the open air, whereby they have nothing – they have lost their families, and their beautiful buildings and homes have been destroyed. What kind of oppression is this?

 

O Allah! Have You not given us the month of Ramadan, have You not given us fasting, have You not given us this time to turn towards You? ... We are not asking You for anything except:

 

O Allah! Seize these tyrants, and bring an end to them. Reduce them to dust. And make them disappear from the surface of this Earth for all the injustices they have committed! Make them suffer... Make them also taste this suffering, and make their countries also turn to dust just as they have shattered the buildings where innocent people died. We are not saying to kill innocents, but certainly these tyrants – those at the head who are provoking all of this – and also the hypocrites who pretend they are coming to help, but are using Muslims, using Islam for their personal gain.

 

So, O Allah, we are asking You – we are not saying to give us strength through this or that country, or through this or that president – we want that it is You Who comes with us, it is You Who shows us Your strength and shows that all the believers who turn towards You, towards the Oneness of Allah, who worship, who shed their tears upon their prayer mats, and that every drop of tear that falls becomes a flood that will sweep away all the evil pharaohs of this century. O Allah! Bring an end to them.

 

O Allah! We are in a sacred month; we are not asking for other rewards – it is You Yourself Who are our reward, as You have said – for a fasting person, the reward is that he gains Allah [gets Allah as their reward]. O Allah, make us get (attain) You. Come and crush those tyrants who are oppressing those who believe in Your Oneness and who recite Your Shahada every day, who worship, who read the Qur’an, who fast. Children, with just a sip of water, are fasting; their tears are flowing. They have lost their parents. What kind of hardship they are going through! How long will You allow these tyrants to commit oppression on this earth, to destroy everything, to dominate?

 

O Allah! As soon as possible, listen to the voice of Your Khalifatullah of this century, who is himself (this humble servant) the man whom You have raised, the first person whose prayers You accept, and (O Allah) You have said You accept the prayers of Your prophet, of Your Khalifatullah. Today, Your Khalifatullah, for this last Friday – Jummatul Wida – on the pulpit of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh), he (Your Khalifatullah) is asking You to bring an end to these pharaohs, these tyrants. We do not want any rewards, any riches – nothing material! We want that our brothers and sisters and children of the Islamic faith who turn towards You, worship You, fast, read the Qur’an – it is these people we want to see in peace, to regain their dignity and honour, and to be given back their place and their land. In their own country, their own land, those who were once tenants are now waging war to become owners and are dominating, and all those who dislike Islam are secretly conspiring; some are hypocrites in front. They show that they love Islam when they themselves are its greatest enemies, the greatest serpents of Islam.

 

O Allah, for this last Friday of this month of Ramadan in the year 2025, Your Khalifatullah is asking You to, as soon as possible, destroy these evil pharaohs. Look at their actions, what kind of oppression they are committing! One missile strike, one bomb – one after the other – they are dropping. How many people they are killing, how many lives they are taking, how many children are becoming orphans, how many women are becoming widows, how many men are becoming widowers, and what kind of hardship they are going through! Some have lost their families, and now they have no food, no water!

 

Even under such a blazing sun, they are not abandoning their faith, and they are crying out “Laa Ilaaha Illallah” (There is no god but Allah). O Allah! Where are You? Come, O Allah! We do not want any country (to come to our aid), who tomorrow will beat their chests and say, “It is us who defended them!” We want You to come forward. O Allah! Show that You are with the believers, show that You have accepted the prayers of Your Khalifatullah of this era. Show this great miracle and bring an end to these evil pharaohs and reduce them to dust, and all the other evil pharaohs who are raising their heads too, who are plotting behind the scenes to destroy Islam and to destroy Your sincere believers who are on this earth.

 

O Allah! We also ask You to cut off their heads, to finish them. We do not want any country, nor any other weapons. You have given us a strength, a weapon greater and more powerful than anything they have invented! The greatest weapon is that we turn towards You and make Duah, and we know – we are full of this confidence – that with Duah, the impossible becomes possible. Nothing is impossible, and in a fraction of a second, even today, with one breath from You, You can finish these tyrants, You can reduce them to dust.

 

O Allah! This is what I am asking of You, and this month of Ramadan, O Allah, is drawing to its end. Accept all the sacrifices of all those who have sacrificed themselves, who have fasted for Your sake, who have worshipped You and made duahs. Accept their sacrifices, their worship, accept their duahs and change their hearts; make them true believers. Make them true Muslims – sincere believers who are attached to Allah, and who, when Ramadan departs, continue through the coming eleven months just as they lived during this month of Ramadan: continuing their worship, their Zikr, their Duahs, staying away from sins, weaknesses, and all the things You have forbidden and mentioned – You have said that if a person commits these acts (sins), the punishment will be severe. Keep our brothers, sisters, and children away from all that You have forbidden and guide them to the Siratwal-Mustaqeem (the straight path), O Allah!

 

O Allah! For this last Friday of a month of Ramadan that is leaving us – in a few days, this great honoured guest, who came to change our lives, is leaving us. Its arrival was to give us a servicing of our lives, a servicing of our bodies, and all of this is a great favour that You have granted us in this month, in which You also chose the ten nights of Lailatul Qadr to grant to Your true servants. – So, O Allah! Let each one among us witness the signs of Lailatul Qadr before this month ends, so that their faith remains firm and they become people who are always attached to Allah and never abandon Your religion, nor Your teachings, nor the Qur’an, nor prayer, nor Zikr – because in Ramadan, many turn towards Allah; the mosques are full – the mosques are joyful, they smile, there is happiness in every mosque – five daily prayers, and in these last ten nights, people sit at the door of Allah (Your door) seeking Lailatul Qadr.

 

O Allah! When this month of Ramadan ends, do not let those whose faith is weak, whose hearts are weak, also go away – do not let them distance themselves from the mosque, from worship, from the Qur’an, from Zikr, and fall back into their sins. This one month, You brought them, You pulled them out from their sins – so that in the eleven months to come, they do not return to those sins.

 

O Allah! Make them remain firm, do not let them fall into vain, unnecessary sins, because those sins lead them to Shaytan, and Shaytan is there to destroy Your servants, to destroy their health, to destroy their faith and lead them far from Your path, and place all kinds of filth in their hearts, in their minds, to make them commit all kinds of foolishness.

 

O Allah! Protect every servant, grant them health, grant them courage, and make the Ummah of Muhammad (pbuh) – all our Muslim brothers – live like united full-blooded brothers from one same mother and father. There must not be these divisions. Let everyone put aside their differences, make us become one, and it is unity that brings strength; all together behind one Imam, where we make duah that this gives a tremendous strength – in an extraordinary way – that sweeps away all these evil pharaohs, tyrants, hypocrites (Munafiqeen), and sinners (Faasiqeen) of this world. Put an end to them, for they have dominated for too long! O Allah, the time has come now, and it is enough! Enough is Enough!

 

O Allah! Set Your machinery in motion. O Allah! Look how many of Your servants are being destroyed, look how they are demolishing Your houses of prayer and what they are doing – as if they themselves are gods on this earth! O Allah, show Your power and Your might and come to protect Your servants, Your sincere believers, and place them under Your shade and protect each one of them. Ameen, Summa Ameen.

 

We ask for nothing else – neither wealth, nor anything else. We ask You for Yourself, Your shade, Your protection, so that no one can touch us, and (O Allah) place us on the straight path and make us all united – where we have been divided and subdivided, and others have taken advantage of that weakness as if a sheet of glass has shattered into many pieces.

 

O Allah! Gather all these (pieces) together, make all of them become one behind the Imam of this era. Insha-Allah Ta’ala Al-Aziz.'

'Our special thought goes to all our Muslim brothers, sisters, and children – both Muslim and non-Muslim – in Palestine who are enduring martyrdom in an unrelenting war carried out by Israel, with the support of the United States of America. Let us (again) all raise our voices in prayer to Allah:  


'O Allah! Protector of the innocent and the oppressed, overturn the oppressors who seek to annihilate Your servants – those who have not abandoned their faith in You and continue to hope in You despite the trials You impose upon them. Eradicate the oppressors of the illegal Zionist State of Israel, and wipe them out completely, along with their generations, if You know that they will harm Your Deen


But if, O Allah, You know that they can become excellent servants for You, then turn their hearts towards Islam, perfect their faith in submission to You alone, remove all hatred they harbour against Muslims and Islam, and make them true representatives of Islam in the world. Relieve the suffering of all sincere Muslims across the globe who face extreme persecution, and lead the Ummah of Your beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the rest of humanity into Your obedience. O Allah! Guide them to Your mercy and Your forgiveness, and destroy only those who stubbornly remain in their infidelity and oppression. Ameen, Summa Ameen, Ya Rabbul Aalameen.'

 

'May Allah grant all of you His mercy and dismantle all armies of Satan that seek to wage war against His servants. May Allah accept your fasting undertaken for His sake, forgive your sins and faults, and grant you strong Islam and faith (Iman) for the glory of Islam in the world. Insha-Allah, Ameen.'
