Not a Single Report of Theft or Looting in Gaza, Iman is the Greatest Weapon of the Believers!

News:

Social media reports show the workers and civilians digging bodies out of the destroyed houses and collecting all money and valuables to give back to any owners alive. To date there has not been a single account of looting or theft from the thousands of buildings and businesses that have been destroyed in the war in Gaza.

Comment:

SubhanAllah! Such is the power of Iman that puts the real fear in the hearts of the enemies of Islam. It is the everlasting message of the Aqeedah from Allah (swt) and the values of slavery to the Creator that keeps the Muslims in a state of glory before their Lord. Even when the Muslims of Gaza are at their most abandoned by the international community and have nothing but Dua’, we do not see the return to animal behaviours as we do in the Western nations with their liberal corruptions.

Allah (swt) indeed has distinguished the Muslims of Palestine with the best of patience, and their efforts to stay in the land of the oppressed give us clear examples of how we must seek to be closer to the righteous morals and values of the Prophet (saw) and never abandoned them for the sick and destructive values of the ruined nations.

Allah (swt) raised the believers not with money and powerful positions, as we see the criminal Muslim leaders who have all of this but stay crawling lowly in the service of their colonialist masters.

The Muslims watching the catastrophe in Palestine know that your silence is bought with the Western morals and values of wrongdoers. “This is not my problem”, “we will lose our jobs”, “We are not Palestinian”, “There is nothing we can do”, “I don’t want to take sides.” All of these are poor excuses that will earn the fire of Jahannam in the Next Life. We must remember that our dignity and honour are only linked to the obedience of Allah (swt) when we enjoin the right and forbid the wrong according to the message of Allah (swt).

[كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ ۗ وَلَوْ آمَنَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُمْ ۚ مِنْهُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ]

“You are the best of the nations raised up for (the benefit of) men; you enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong and believe in Allah; and if the followers of the Book had believed, it would have been better for them; of them (some) are believers and most of them are transgressors.” [Aali-Imran: 110]
