A Call towards Allah and the Unity of Muslims
Today, for my Jalsa Salana speech, I return to
a very important subject: the unity of Muslims, and the need to distance
ourselves from things that hold no real value, so that we may be guided towards
the vast blessings Allah has promised to those who follow His path – in the
right way, and with Taqwa (i.e. with the consciousness of the presence
of Allah and having an awe-inspiring reverence for Him).
Today, my call is not only to you, my dear followers, but to the entire Ummah of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh), and to humanity as a whole.
What I have to say is very important. In Allah’s way of doing things, we as believing Muslims trust in Allah’s timing. That means Allah shows His support and help – or even His punishment – to those who deserve it, at a time He has already decided. Only Allah knows how He will deliver His justice.
Israel, under the leadership of Benjamin
Netanyahu, is waging a war aimed at wiping out an entire people. Hospitals have
been destroyed. Famine is everywhere. Israel is using hunger as a weapon of
war. Very little humanitarian aid is reaching Gaza, because this Zionist named
Netanyahu, and all those who share his mindset, are bombing every attempt to
help the people of Palestine – especially in Gaza – whether by air or sea.
They are denying our brothers, sisters and
children access to food, water and medicine. Children are dying from diarrhoea;
pregnant women are losing their babies due to lack of care. This is a crime
against humanity. Médecins Sans Frontières has clearly stated: Israel is
committing genocide with total impunity.
We must understand that this genocide did not
begin in October 2023. Palestine, a sacred land that has known many prophets,
has been suffering for over 75 years. Since the arrival of the Zionists in
1948, more than 200,000 Palestinians have died in conflicts, massacres and
bombings. According to data compiled by the United Nations Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), from 2008 to 2023, over 6,407
Palestinians were killed and more than 152,560 injured in Gaza and the West
Bank. But if we go further back, from 1920 to 1948, riots, revolts and
massacres had already taken the lives of thousands of Palestinians. During the
Nakba in 1948, at least 15,000 Arab Palestinians died, and more than 750,000
were forcibly displaced. This is not just war; it is a planned ethnic
cleansing.
And what can we say about the countries that
support this oppression? America, under Donald Trump, is showing blatant
hypocrisy. It supports Israel, sells weapons used to kill civilians, ignores
international calls for peace, and acts as if the extermination of Palestinian
Muslims is a way to fulfil the “Promised Land”. But as true believers, we know
that the earth, this world, and every part of it belongs to Allah alone.
Allah tells us in the Qur’an: “And do not think of those who are killed in the way of
Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision.”
(Al-Imran 3: 170)
This verse gives us courage. The Palestinian
martyrs are receiving their reward from Allah, based on the faith and patience
they have shown in this merciless war that Israel has waged against them –
driven by its thirst for power and its desire to force signs of the end times
to bring about “The Messiah”. But let me say to Netanyahu: The Messiah has
already appeared! Not once, not twice, but three times. Every time a fool
like him rises, the Messiah comes. Israel expects the Messiah to be on their
side. But the Messiah does not support those who spread harm and corruption on
earth. He does not come for those who seek power to rule the world. If
Netanyahu and Zionists like him expect a Messiah who will support their
atrocities, they can keep waiting. The Messiah has already come, and he is
present, condemning all the attacks and killings committed in the name of their
Zionism.
There is a Hadith of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh)
where he said: “A time will come when the entire world will gather against
the Muslims like people around a dish.” (Abu Dawood)
We have seen how this prophecy has come true.
But the Holy Prophet (pbuh) also said: “A group from my community will
always remain on the truth; they will not be harmed by those who abandon them
until Allah’s command comes.” (Bukhari, Muslim)
That group is us – Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam –
and all those who have Taqwa (fear of Allah), including those who are
slowly but surely waking up from their long sleep and becoming aware of their
mistakes. We must remember that unity brings success. I have made this call
again and again since the beginning of this Divine Manifestation in this
century, since Allah raised me as His chosen one. Without unity, Muslims are
just dim reflections – not shining lights – of Islam. Today, I am pleased to
see progress in this direction, where the Muslim world is finally realising
that they must unite to help Palestine, and not just Palestine, but the entire
Arab world. Because the plan to destroy Muslims is not only against Palestine;
there is a larger plan to take control of all Arab and Islamic territories.
We see how the Arab world, beyond Palestine and
Syria, was shocked when Israel attacked them. After the Israeli attack on
Qatar, Arab countries began to unite. Qatar openly condemned Israel. Syria is
negotiating to remove Israel from the Golan Heights. Even countries that
remained silent are starting to move.
So, by Allah’s grace, we are seeing a slow but
steady shift in the situation. And it is only Duahs (prayers/
supplications to Allah) that have the power to bring about such changes,
because Allah knows the exact moment when He will act and show the greatness of
the Islamic spirit in the world. Muslims must show that greatness through
patience and trust in Allah. Over the years, we have seen how the Palestinian
people have kept an exemplary trust in Allah. Not all Palestinians have the
same level of faith, but still, despite losing everything and seeking help from
the world, they trust that Allah will guide them to the right people – those
who understand their suffering, who recognise the depth of their sacrifice, and
who see the reflection of Islam in them. Some ask for nothing, but read verses
of the Qur’an and seek honourable ways to live. And some, even after losing
everything, keep their faith alive and do not regret the deaths of their family
members, because they know those loved ones died as Shaheed (martyrs) in
the path of Allah, and are now in a better place.
With the exposure of Palestinian suffering on
social media, more than 140 countries have found themselves in a position where
they must recognise the State of Palestine. Among them are Spain, Sweden,
Norway, Iceland, Vatican, Brazil, Chile, South Africa, England and France.
Protests have erupted across the world: London, Paris, New York, Berlin,
Sydney, Tokyo, Johannesburg, Delhi, Istanbul, Karachi, Buenos Aires. People are
rising to say: “Enough!”
When we see all this, we say “Allahu Akbar!”
Because it may seem like the media is doing the work, but all of this is the
result of Duah. It is the result of patience. But nothing has been won
yet. There is still a long road ahead before Allah shows complete victory.
If we look closely, while Gaza burns,
corruption continues to eat away at the rest of the world. In Nepal, scandals
of misusing humanitarian funds have come to light. Politicians who got rich off
the backs of the poor have had to face the anger of their people, especially
the youth who rose up and refused to tolerate injustice. In Africa, several
governments are using power to oppress their opponents. In Europe, lobbying
groups control political decisions. In India, minorities are being persecuted.
In China, Uyghur Muslims are locked in camps. In Myanmar, Rohingyas are being
exterminated.
The Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “Whoever
sees something wrong, let him change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with
his tongue; and if he cannot even do that, then with his heart – and that is
the weakest level of faith.” (Muslim)
We are living in a time where evil dominates;
where global powers support injustice; where entire communities are being wiped
out without mercy. Israel, under the leadership of Netanyahu, is committing
crimes against humanity. Alongside the destruction of lives – women, men and
children – hospitals have been reduced to rubble. Schools and universities have
also been destroyed. And not just those, even the Mosques of Allah have been
targeted. Gaza has become a graveyard under the open sky.
While all this is happening, the United States,
under Donald Trump, is openly supporting Israel. Trump has approved arms sales,
blocked United Nations resolutions, and labelled Palestinian resistance
fighters as “terrorists”. Yet he says nothing about the crimes committed by
Israel. This is political hypocrisy. Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) said: “Among the
signs of the Hour will be lying leaders and traitors.” (Musnad Ahmad)
Trump is acting like a hypocrite, continuing to
“support” Israel while Palestinian children are dying of hunger. But wait – we
too are waiting together. A time will come when Allah will stop Trump and
Netanyahu in their tracks and bring their crimes to a halt.
The Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “When
corruption spreads, and people betray their trusts, then await the Hour.”
(Bukhari)
We are living in that moment. The world is
filled with injustice, betrayal and oppression. But we must remain firm. Allah
tells us in the Qur’an: “O you who believe!
Stand firm in your faith and be just witnesses before Allah, even if it is
against yourselves.” (An-Nisa 4: 136)
It is our duty to defend the truth, even if it
costs us our comfort. As we have seen and continue to experience, we are living
through the signs of the end times, just as Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) foretold: “The
end of times will come when people fight over meaningless things; when mosques
are beautifully decorated but empty of spirituality; when leaders are corrupt;
and when the blood of the innocent is spilled without justice.” (Musnad
Ahmad)
This is exactly what is happening. Gaza is
bleeding; mosques are being destroyed; leaders are corrupt; people are
desperate. But the Noble Prophet (pbuh) also predicted that there will be those
who remain on the straight path. We must pray – whether it is my own followers
from Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam or the wider Muslim world – that we become among
those who always stay on the right path, those whom Allah loves and helps,
whose prayers He accepts, and whose Islam shines – not only in this world, but
in the Hereafter too, because pain and trials are only for this world, while
the truth of Islam will shine naturally and fully in the next life.
Only those who have submitted to their Creator –
the One, the Unique – and have not associated anyone with Him will truly
succeed. Allah, our Creator, is not a cruel Creator. He does not wrong His
servants; it is people who wrong their own souls. Allah is just, and He acts with
justice.
So we must continue to pray – for ourselves,
for the entire Ummah of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh), and for humanity as a whole –
saying: O Allah, help all of us, Your servants, to become Your true servants
in the way that pleases You. Help us to hold firmly to You and worship You
alone. Do not let any satanic force gain victory
over our Islam – our submission to You. Do not let any of these evil spirits
break our peace and unity. You alone punish the oppressors and support the
victims of oppression. Do not leave us alone; show Your presence among
us, hear our prayers, and strengthen us with Your power, patience and victory.
And make us among those who always stand for the truth. Insha-Allah,
Ameen.
