To revive its glory, the Muslim Ummah needs to get rid of the pawns of the Anglo American colonial politics
News
According to the news published in the Gulfnews.com on 22nd August, 2017 that Shaikh Abdullah Bin Ali Al Thani, a descendant of Qatar’s founder, was welcomed warmly in Saudi Arabia by Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, then jetted off to Morocco, where Saudi King Salman hosted him at his vacation spot in Tangier.
Shaikh Abdullah said King Salman and his son agreed to open Qatar’s only land border, snapped shut on June 5, to allow Muslim pilgrims to travel to the holy city of Makkah. The king even offered to dispatch planes at his own expense to fly in others and set up an operations centre under the shaikh’s command to help Qataris entangled in the crisis. Saudi Arabia and allies that severed diplomatic and transport links with Qatar in June have denied seeking regime change in Doha, making the emergence and front-page treatment of the shaikh a surprising development.
Promoting him is probably part of a plan to add pressure on Qatari ruler Shaikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, who has refused to capitulate to the bloc’s 13 conditions for ending the feud, said Abdul Khaleq Abdullah, a political analyst in the United Arab Emirates. (Gulf News)
Comment
On the surface, many people might say the ongoing feud between Qatar and Saudi Arabia is all about stopping terrorism or Qatar’s closeness to Iran or its support for Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood. However, if we dig a little deeper, we will see these issues have been happening for a quite long time. These issues came under the limelight suddenly after Donald Trump’s recent visit in Saudi Arabia and all of a sudden Qatar is accused of supporting terrorism.
It is an open secret that in the current world, the politics of Muslim lands are completely controlled by the colonizing West and the Arab world is not an exception to this. It is well known that Saudi Arabia, as a trusted friend of American regime, has been working for decades to ensure American interest in the Middle East and since the beginning of this century, Qatar has become a major field for British politics. Through Al-Jazeera TV Channel Qatar constantly exposing US policies and attacking American agents in the region on behalf of the Britain and Saudi Arabia is working on behalf of US to prevent any British agent to meddle American plans in this region.
Hence, the feud has nothing to do with terrorism. Rather it is actually the rivalry between US and Britain to control the oil fields and other strategically important Middle Eastern regions. Allah (swt) says in the Quran,
(يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا بِطَانَةً مِّن دُونِكُمْ لَا يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبَالًا وَدُّوا مَا عَنِتُّمْ * قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَاءُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الْآيَاتِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ)
“O you who believe[d]! (Do) not take (as) intimates other than yourselves, not they will spare you (any) ruin. They wish what distresses you. Indeed, (has become) apparent the hatred from their mouths, and what conceals their breasts (is) greater. Certainly We made clear for you the Verses, if you were (to use) reason.” [Al-e- Imran: 118]
However, by disobeying the command of Allah, the treacherous rulers of the Muslim world have taken those people as their Awliya (protector, advisor) whose hatred towards Islam and Muslim knows no bound. In the name of “War on Terrorism,” the colonial West has been either brutally killing Muslims or supporting killer regimes in the Muslim world for decades. Due to the dreadful western policy more than 500,000 men, women and children have died in Syria by the hand of the killer Assad regime, more than half of the Syrian population already fled from the war torn country and rest of the population are living a gruesome life between bullets and bombs. Instead of helping these helpless Muslims, the Saudi regime has initiated a fresh proxy war in Yemen on behalf of their colonial masters. which left behind thousands of dead and millions of people on the verge of famine, death and destruction. On the other hand, Qatar, being one of the richest countries of the world, did not come forward to help its fellow Muslims. Instead they allowed US to establish their largest military base in their own territory from which US aircraft launch to spread killing and destruction among the Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen.
The heartbreaking cry of the Muslims of Yemen, Syria, Burma, Afghanistan, Iraq, did not fall into the deaf ears of the Muslim rulers. Rather they are busy serving their colonial masters to secure their worldly gain. Saudi Arabia and its allies have boycotted Qatar but they didn’t ever boycott criminal state of the Jewish entity for their constant war crime against Palestinian Muslims nor have they ever vowed to declare war against the western colonial powers, who are the number one terrorists of the world. These heartless rulers of the Muslim countries are harsh against each other and especially against their fellow Muslims brothers but lenient towards the Kuffar Masters, where as Allah (swt) says in the Quran,
(مُّحَمَّدٌ رَّسُولُ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ أَشِدَّاءُ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ رُحَمَاءُ بَيْنَهُمْ)
“Muhammad (is the) Messenger (of) Allah, and those who (are) with him (are) firm against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves.” [Sura Fath:29]
The time has now come to reject these pawns of the West in the Muslim world. They brought nothing but endless destruction and humiliation to the Muslim Ummah. The time has now come to re-establish the blessed state according to the path of Muhammad (saw), which is the second Khilafah Rashidah (righteous Caliphate). Because only the Khilafah Rashidah will free the Muslim world from the subservient foreign policy and the fake politics; like the foreign policy and politics of Qatar and Saudi Arabia and destroy the cycle of continuous war, destruction and humiliation and most of all, the Khilafah Rashidah will bring back the glory of the Muslim Ummah and uphold this Ummah as the most honorable and respected people of the world.
