Palestina: erresilientzia (9)

For over seven months, a dominant conversation in the U.S. news media has been about alleged and increased antisemitism on American campuses – culminating in the coverage around student encampments. The “Gaza solidarity encampment” at Columbia University, in particular, has received a lot of attention which sparked encampments across the country — as well as university-backed police repression and violence. In this interview, AJ+ speaks to Dr. Bruce Robbins, a Jewish professor at Columbia University who supported students protesting Columbia University’s investments in companies and programs that uphold Israeli apartheid and the genocide in Gaza.

There have been generations on this earth – our grandparents and great-grandparents – whose worst nightmares became reality.

We observe the signs. We see the writing on the wall.

Hungarians know the nature of war. They know that a war always ends differently from the way it was first imagined.

This is why today millions of young Europeans lie in mass graves.

This is why there are not enough Europeans, why there are not enough European children.

War kills.

Someone dies with a gun in his hands. Someone dies while fleeing. Someone dies under bombardment.

Someone dies in an enemy’s prison. Someone dies in a pandemic. Someone dies of starvation.

Someone is tortured. Someone is raped. Someone is taken into slavery.

The lines of graves are endless. Mothers weep for their sons. Women weep for their husbands.

So many lives lost.

One thing we know: wherever war sets its foot, there is no escape. War will catch up with you: you cannot dodge it, you cannot hide from it.

The only antidote to war is peace: to stay out of the war and maintain Hungary as an island of peace.

This is our mission.

And if we do not want war not to catch up with us, we must stop it: now!

This peace cannot be won with weapons.

This war cannot be resolved on the battlefield, where you only find corpses and destruction.

There must be a ceasefire and there must be negotiations.

But first of all, the election must be won. The election must be won next week.

And in one week from now, we will receive reinforcements from all the countries of Europe, and we can build a pro-peace European coalition in Brussels.

In the autumn the Americans can elect a pro-peace president, and with them we can bring together a pan-Western, transatlantic peace coalition.

At the beginning of the year we were in the minority, but by the end of the year we could be in the majority throughout the Western world.”

Scott Ritter: Russia’s victory over Ukraine is drawing near

(https://www.rt.com/russia/598395-russia-ukraine-conflict-phases/)

In a war of attrition, grinding the enemy down is just the first part. Stretching what remains until it breaks is how you finish the job

As Russia’s military operation in Ukraine enters its 28th month, the conflict can be said to have gone through several distinct phases, all but one (the opening gambit) of which prioritized attritional warfare as the principal guiding military philosophy. For Western military observers, schooled as we are on what we deem the ‘modern’ military philosophies of maneuver warfare, the Russian approach to fighting appears primitive, a throwback to the trench warfare of conflicts past, where human life was a commodity readily traded in exchange for a few hundred meters of shell-pocked landscape.

Upon closer scrutiny, and with the benefit of 27 months of accumulated data, the Russian approach to warfare emerges as a progressive application of military art that considers the totality of the spectrum of warfare – small-unit tactics, weapons capability, intelligence, communications, logistics, the defense economy and, perhaps most importantly of all, political reality. It is critical to keep in mind that while Russia may have entered the conflict facing a single adversary (Ukraine), within months it became clear that Moscow was confronting the cumulative military capability of the collective West, where NATO’s financial, material, logistical, command and control, and intelligence support was married to Ukrainian manpower resources to create a military capacity designed by intent to wear Russia down physically and mentally, to strategically defeat Russia by promoting the conditions for its economic and political collapse.

That Russia recognized this strategic intent on the part of its declared and undeclared adversaries early on is a testament to the patience and vision of its leadership. Outside military observers criticized Moscow’s inability to deliver a knockout blow against Ukraine early on, attributing this failure to poor leadership and even poorer military capacity on the part of a Russian military machine suddenly deemed incompetent. However, the reality was far different – Moscow was making the strategic transition from a peacetime military posture. It initially intended a brief conflict by compelling the Ukrainian government to the negotiation table (only to be thwarted by Ukraine’s Western partners, who chose to sacrifice Ukraine in the hope of strategically defeating Russia instead of opting for a peaceful resolution), to a posture capable of wearing down both Ukraine’s ability to resist and the collective West’s ability to sustain Kiev economically and politically.

From a military perspective, Russia’s strategic goal has always been the ”demilitarization” of Ukraine. Initially, this could have been achieved by defeating the Ukrainian military on the field of battle. Indeed, Moscow was well on the path toward achieving this goal, even after it pulled its forces back from around Kiev and the other Ukrainian territories it had occupied in the initial phases of the conflict. When Russia moved over to Phase Two, the objective was to complete the liberation of the Donbass region. The battles fought in May and June 2022 nearly brought the Ukrainian military to the breaking point – slow, grinding operations where Russia exploited its firepower superiority to inflict massive casualties on army with finite ability to sustain itself. Only the decision by the collective West to provide massive infusions of military resources – equipment, training, logistics, command and control, and intelligence – saved the Ukrainians. With NATO’s assistance, Kiev was able to rebuild its depleted military and go over on the counterattack, pushing Russian forces back in the vicinity of Kharkov and Kherson.

This military success proved to be the undoing of Ukraine and its Western allies. The impressive territorial gains achieved in the Kharkov and Kherson offensives that took place between late August and the middle of November 2022, proved to be a narcotic. While Russia adjusted to the new realities of an expanded conflict, mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops, building strong defenses, and putting its defense industry on a wartime footing, the Ukrainians and their NATO advisers assumed that they would simply be able to repeat the successes of summer-fall 2022 through a grand summer counteroffensive in 2023.

This hope proved to be in vain.

It was at this juncture that the principles of attritional warfare began to be applied by the Russians in a more comprehensive form. While Ukraine and its NATO allies assembled a massive offensive strike capability which married the last of Ukraine’s trained manpower reserves with billions of dollars of Western equipment and training, Russia continued to engage in so-called ”meatgrinder” operations in and around the city of Artyomovsk (known in Ukraine as Bakhmut). These battles produced massive casualties on both sides. Russia, however, was able not only to absorb these losses, but to continue to accrue strategic reserves. Ukraine, on the other hand, squandered tens of thousands of troops and billions of dollars of hard-to-replace military materiel which had been earmarked for the summer 2023 counteroffensive. As such, when the Ukrainians finally kicked off their counteroffensive, in early June 2023, they did so with forces insufficient to the task. Over the course of the next several months, extending into fall, the Ukrainian army ground itself down in the face of Russian defenses, which were optimized to defeat the attackers.

By the time the counteroffensive ground to a halt, in December 2023, Ukraine was a spent force militarily. Its armed forces had used up their reserves of manpower. NATO had depleted its stocks of available military materiel. And the West had become politically exhausted at the prospect of a never-ending conflict which seemed destined to result in an endless cycle of throwing good money after bad, all the while failing to bring about the strategic goal of defeating Russia.

Moscow, on the other hand, emerged from the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive in a good position. From a military perspective, the Russians had won the war of attrition with Ukraine and the collective West – basic military math had Ukraine consuming manpower and material resources at a far greater rate than they could be replenished, making Kiev grow physically weaker every day the conflict dragged on, while the Russians were able to accumulate manpower and material resources at a rate far greater than Ukraine was able to destroy, meaning Russia grew stronger every day the conflict continued.

Economically, Ukraine and its Western backers were exhausted. The blowback from the aggressive anti-Russian sanctions imposed by the West had severely curtailed the industrial capacity of the European members of the NATO alliance to sustain the scope and scale of its military support to Ukraine, while domestic political realities in the US, amplified by the fact that it was engaged in a hotly contested presidential election cycle, paralyzed the American ability to sustain Ukraine financially. The military and economic exhaustion of Ukraine and the collective West severely impacted the ability of this coalition to politically sustain support for a war that had no discernable prospect of ending well.

While the conflict has not, by any stretch of the imagination, been without cost to Russia, the approach taken by the leadership, to create conditions on the battlefield designed to maximize enemy losses while minimizing their own, meant that Moscow entered 2024 in a much stronger position militarily, economically, and – perhaps most importantly – politically. War, it has been said, is an extension of politics by other means, and this is no exception to the age-old adage. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s latest electoral victory has provided the leadership in Moscow with a political mandate that strengthens Russia’s hand considerably, especially contrasted with the weakened posture of Ukraine.

It is within such a context that the Russian offensive north of Kharkov must be evaluated. From a military-political standpoint, the operation has a specific objective – to push Ukrainian forces back from the border with Russia so that Ukrainian artillery and rocket systems can no longer strike Russian territory. But there is a larger purpose for this offensive – to continue the process of grinding down the Ukrainian military, to complete the larger task of ”demilitarization” set by the Kremlin.

In this, Russia is succeeding. First and foremost, by attacking north of Kharkov, Moscow has compelled Kiev to commit not only the last of its mobile strategic reserves in response but, because these forces are inadequate in strength, to force Ukraine to strip away units on the eastern line of contact, in Kherson, Zaporozhye and Donbass, and to divert them to the Kharkov direction. The depletion of reserves is part and parcel of the overall Russian strategy of attrition. Moreover, as these forces displace to the Kharkov region, they are being interdicted by Russian air, missile, and drone strikes, further eroding their combat power. The result is that Ukraine is now defending a longer line of defense with even fewer forces than it started with.

One should not expect the Russian efforts to stop in the Kharkov direction. Reports indicate that Moscow is amassing significant forces opposite the Ukrainian city of Sumy. If Russia were to open a new direction of attack there, Ukraine would struggle to find forces sufficient to mount a viable defense. And at some point, one should expect additional reserves to make their appearance on other parts of the battlefield, maybe in Zaporozhye, or Donetsk, or Lugansk, where Ukrainian forces have been stretched to breaking point.

The goal of a war of attrition is to wear your enemy down to the point where continued resistance is impossible. This has been Moscow’s goal since April 2022. And it is the goal today. The Kharkov offensive is simply the current manifestation of the continuation of this strategy, and the clearest indication yet that the Russian endgame in Ukraine is drawing near.

That’s How MUSLIM WORLD Will RISE! – Why 2 Billion Muslims Can’t Help Palestinians?

Bideoa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qff_Dl96wXA

Assalamu Alaikum brothers and sisters. In today’s video we talked about How will Muslim world will rise again like our past. We talked about why the atrocities against Muslims could not be prevented. we have analysed the 3 biggest problems prevalent among Muslims..

Transkripzioa:

0:00

in India armed groups set fire to a

0:02

centuries old mosque and library in

0:04

Myanmar since the 70s 1 million Muslims

0:08

have been displaced from their homes and

0:09

forced to migrate more than 200 weager

0:12

children were put into prison by China

0:14

for receiving Islamic education and now

0:16

we see the events going on for months in

0:19

Palestine as you’re listening to this

0:21

somewhere in the world Muslims are being

0:23

persecuted thousands of murders and

0:25

destruction have been going on for years

0:27

and years there seems to be no end to

0:29

these atrocities you might ask but

0:32

brother aren’t we two billion Muslims

0:34

why can’t we protect our brothers and

0:36

sisters while there’s no single state in

0:38

the world with a population as large as

0:40

the number of Muslims why do we seem so

0:42

few when did we allow our voices to be

0:44

silenced this much how did we fall

0:46

behind this far there are things we

0:49

cannot understand today we will uncover

0:51

the reasons for these questions and we

0:53

will get the solutions from the reasons

0:56

themselves because the answers are

0:58

hidden exactly in these reasons

1:00

the conquest of Istanbul formerly

1:02

Constantinople one of the turning points

1:04

in human history an event that closed

1:06

one era and opened another it is also

1:09

one of the most critical events in the

1:11

history of Islam the famous ottoman

1:13

Sultan mhmed the Conqueror also known as

1:15

Muhammad Fati wanted to conquer

1:17

Constantinople with a great desire

1:19

however conquering this place was not

1:21

easy at all many nations had tried to

1:24

take it several times but no one had

1:26

been able to succeed Constantinople was

1:28

a city with incredibly tough fortresses

1:30

and an amazing defense structure

1:32

something unprecedented had to be done

1:34

to make this Conquest something that

1:36

hadn’t been tried before the knowledge

1:38

that was needed to achieve this was

1:40

hidden somewhere in the world the source

1:42

of that specific knowledge was a master

1:44

Cannon maker a Hungarian Cannon Master

1:47

called Orban he discovers an alloy a

1:49

mixture of metals and with this unique

1:51

alloy he realizes that he could make

1:54

very powerful cannons during those times

1:56

Orbin learns that Muhammad fatti is

1:58

going to besiege Constantinople he’s

2:00

planning to sell this knowledge but not

2:02

to the sultan he first goes to the

2:04

Byzantine emperor he says to him I’m a

2:06

master Cannon maker and I found a new

2:08

type of alloy with this invention the

2:10

cannonballs are much stronger and go

2:12

much further you can use it against them

2:14

I’m willing to give you this alloy

2:16

because I heard that the Ottomans are

2:17

going to besiege this city you can use

2:19

it against them the Byzantine emperor

2:21

gets very happy to hear this he says

2:23

let’s see the formula of this alloy

2:25

Orbin says if you give me this much gold

2:27

I will give the parchment that the

2:29

formula is written on the emperor makes

2:31

fun of him and says so you’re telling us

2:33

you’re going to give us a piece of paper

2:34

and want this much gold in return really

2:37

and then he orders to his soldiers throw

2:39

this man into the dungeon after a while

2:41

the news of this event reaches Muhammad

2:43

fat how because he has spies placed in

2:46

Constantinople they come and tell him

2:48

what happened to the cannon maker the

2:49

sultan gets excited and says do whatever

2:52

it takes to get that man out of the

2:53

dungeon and bring him to me the sutan

2:55

Man rescue Orban and bring him to the

2:57

sultan Muhammad fatti gives him twice

2:59

the money he asked for and uses that

3:01

alloy to build huge and deadly Siege

3:03

cannons then the siege of Constantinople

3:06

begins and thanks to this extremely

3:08

destructive weapon serious breaches and

3:10

holes are made in the city walls and

3:12

eventually the city is conquered just

3:14

think about it something that couldn’t

3:16

be achieved for centuries was finally

3:19

accomplished through this weapon through

3:20

this means now let’s consider the

3:22

opposite scenario if the Byzantine

3:24

emperor had said to the cannon maker in

3:25

the first place okay take these gold

3:27

coins and make the weapon the result

3:29

might have been very different can you

3:31

see the value of knowledge effort and

3:33

struggle there were a few things written

3:35

on that piece of paper but when you know

3:37

it you overpower and rule the other side

3:40

did you know that what we call Brain

3:41

Drain is not a new thing Muhammad Fati

3:44

tried his best to gather talented

3:46

individuals and knowledgeable people in

3:48

Istanbul during his period he invited

3:50

them with compliments and gifts for

3:52

example Ali kushu a genius in astronomy

3:54

and Mathematics the sultan spends a lot

3:56

of money for him to come to his country

3:58

he inites him with his rela and gives

4:00

him thousand gold coins for each City he

4:02

visits or let’s go to another period

4:05

have you ever heard of the andalan umat

4:07

state it was a state that was at the top

4:09

in terms of science and knowledge a

4:11

famous physicist named PR curri says 30

4:13

books remained and passed on to us from

4:15

Muslim Andalucia and we were able to

4:17

split the atom with them the other books

4:19

were destroyed during the Mongol

4:21

invasion prq also says if half of the 1

4:24

million books that were burned had

4:25

remained you would have been traveling

4:27

between galaxies in space by now have

4:29

you ever ever heard of IBN CA also known

4:31

as aisna he’s called the master of

4:33

Physicians his books were taught in

4:35

Europe as textbooks for 600 years let’s

4:38

look at jabir hayan he’s considered the

4:40

founder of chemistry and then there is

4:41

Al zahrawi who is seen as the father of

4:44

surgery there are many more names like

4:46

this when knowledge was in our hands we

4:48

Muslims were the authorities Pioneers it

4:52

was like this during the time of the

4:53

Andalusian um State during the rise of

4:55

the Ottoman Empire and so on Remember

4:58

the Time of the Prophet Alat was

5:00

during the battle of the trench Salman

5:02

alari gives an idea just a few sentences

5:04

and Muslims start to dig trenches this

5:07

action changed the course of the battle

5:08

dramatically many more examples can be

5:10

given in this regard on the one hand a

5:12

Muslim can choose to become a qualified

5:14

knowledgeable person or he can choose to

5:16

be someone who has never developed

5:18

himself who has never learned anything

5:20

who just eats drinks sleeps and lives

5:23

for pleasure when Muslims become

5:25

knowledgeable competent and qualified

5:27

the course of things start changing for

5:29

the better because our religion itself

5:31

tells us to have these qualities have

5:33

you ever heard an Ayah that says stay

5:35

away from knowledge or a Hadith that

5:37

says just worship do not research do not

5:39

improve yourselves I mean scientists are

5:41

not considered witches in Islam are they

5:43

on the contrary our Prophet Alat wasam

5:45

says seek knowledge even if you have to

5:48

go as far as China the Quran repeatedly

5:50

encourages us to think and research

5:52

saying do they not reflect do they not

5:55

contemplate the progress or decline of

5:57

Muslims depends on following these

5:59

commands ments of Allah normally when we

6:01

say the laws of Allah we think of harams

6:03

and acts of worship don’t we but Allah

6:06

has two different systems of law the

6:08

first one is religious laws which

6:09

include the things that are forbidden

6:11

that are permissible and worships halals

6:13

harams I and so on the second type of

6:15

laws are the laws that Allah has set in

6:17

Creation in the universe also known as

6:20

according to whether we obey the first

6:22

type of laws or not we see and receive

6:24

the outcome after we die but the

6:26

consequence of not obeying the second

6:28

type of laws is directly experienced in

6:30

this world and giving value to

6:32

beneficial knowledge is one of those

6:34

laws so as Muslims what are the

6:36

fundamental laws that cause us to be

6:38

weak in our lives when we don’t obey

6:40

them a great Islamic scholar B sayi

6:43

answers this with a precise statement

6:45

our enemies are ignorance poverty and

6:48

conflict against these three enemies we

6:50

will make Jihad with the weapons of art

6:52

knowledge and unity we have already

6:55

discussed what education and knowledge

6:56

could do remember what Muhammad Fati did

6:59

but what about the other two poverty and

7:01

conflict what does bam man mean by

7:03

saying conflict he means separation

7:06

division there’s an analogy that goes

7:08

like this when two Heroes fight each

7:10

other even a child can beat them both

7:12

meaning when we as Muslims or Muslim

7:15

majority states are in constant conflict

7:17

with each other when there’s an

7:18

atmosphere of dispute and coldness

7:20

between us when we do not unite and

7:22

stand together inevitably we will fall

7:24

behind and then who would be the

7:26

happiest when Muslims fight with each

7:27

other the enemies of Islam of course why

7:30

because when we are divided it’s easier

7:32

for them to defeat us look a Muslim

7:34

individual or a Muslim Community can

7:36

make mistakes we may see things that

7:38

disturb us but what is the solution when

7:40

such things happen is it to become cold

7:42

and distance ourselves from these Muslim

7:44

individuals or groups is the solution to

7:46

talk about them in a bad and destructive

7:48

way is it right for one Muslim group to

7:50

exclude ostracize another Muslim group

7:53

no did you know that even bedwin the

7:55

desert people of ancient Arabia didn’t

7:57

use to do this it is told that in the

7:59

past there were two bedwin tribes that

8:01

used to be enemies to each other they

8:03

were at War but when a bigger enemy from

8:05

the outside came and attacked them they

8:07

made peace and fought the common enemy

8:09

together in other words because of our

8:11

internal conflicts and animosity we are

8:13

weakening ourselves nowadays A lot of

8:16

people are attacking Islam Muslims are

8:18

under constant attack by harams by many

8:20

different states anti-islamic post in

8:22

the media harmful content on social

8:24

media and so on at a time when we have

8:26

so many enemies and need to stick

8:28

together more than ever how logical is

8:31

it to be divided so not being able to

8:33

see the bigger picture not being aware

8:35

of these threats in other words lack of

8:37

Education leads to divisions meaning the

8:40

first item in bedu zaman’s statement

8:42

leads to the other one conflict division

8:44

so then what happens when the lack of

8:46

education and Division come together the

8:48

third item emerges that is poverty have

8:51

you ever thought how many of the world’s

8:53

famous brands are owned by Muslims we

8:55

got a very clear answer to this when the

8:57

boycott lists against Israel were

8:59

published when our financial resources

9:01

are not strong our voices don’t come out

9:03

strong as well I once heard an

9:05

interesting observation a researcher

9:07

studying the Middle East says I’ve seen

9:09

that wherever poverty is high crime

9:11

rates automatically increase in direct

9:14

proportion so what does he mean by crime

9:16

rates murders thefts cheating Etc the

9:19

poorer the country the more crime there

9:21

is because no one is born with a desire

9:23

to commit crimes if your financial

9:24

situation is good you don’t feel the

9:26

need to steal you already have money and

9:28

resources but when there’s a problem

9:30

it’s usually due to financial reasons if

9:32

you have the resources you can easily

9:34

solve your problems if not and

9:36

especially if religious education is

9:37

weak people are more inclined to resort

9:39

to violence and commit crimes of course

9:42

needless to say poverty leads to low

9:44

quality education which then leads to

9:46

division so ignorance poverty and

9:48

division all three trigger each other

9:51

but their opposites also trigger each

9:53

other meaning if one improves the others

9:55

start to improve as well here we realize

9:58

that P uses aand statement is an

9:59

incredibly accurate observation because

10:02

these are exactly the things that make

10:03

us fall behind but can the course of all

10:06

these events change we all want to

10:08

return to the Glorious Days of Islam

10:10

don’t we the days when Muslims were

10:11

thriving and Powerful days when no

10:14

Society was allowed to suffer oppression

10:16

under the Muslim rule whether they were

10:17

Muslim or not you may be asking is this

10:20

really possible my brothers and sisters

10:22

do not think of the false season as the

10:24

end of life remember when a tree sheds

10:26

its leaves it’s not because its roots

10:28

have per permanently dried up but

10:30

because of the season when spring comes

10:33

the leaves of the tree reappear turn

10:35

green and its flowers bloom just as

10:37

before just like this as Muslims if we

10:40

struggle properly if we work hard enough

10:43

it is possible that spring will come

10:45

after this fall the problem is not that

10:47

the other side is too powerful the

10:49

problem is our negligence our lack of

10:51

care instead of strongly holding on to

10:53

the religion of Allah we are moving

10:55

farther and farther away from it so the

10:57

reason for the night is not to fall of

10:59

Darkness but the withdrawal of the sun

11:01

Islam is the Sun and those who are

11:04

enemies to it are the darkness just look

11:06

at our past and look it now over time

11:08

they took the good qualities of Islam

11:10

from us and we took their bad qualities

11:12

to ourselves Israel Myanmar India are

11:16

not in the position of oppressors

11:17

because they work hard they are in that

11:19

position because we are lazy because

11:22

some of us are not even aware of Our

11:23

obligation to pray five times a day

11:25

because we spend hours consuming empty

11:28

content on the internet because we are

11:29

living our lives without a dream a

11:31

vision for the future of Islam we

11:33

boycott companies that support Israel

11:35

right this is a good thing but why can’t

11:37

we boycott our own NPS too our worldly

11:40

Comforts and desires the devil is trying

11:43

very hard to keep you away from

11:44

struggling for Allah’s Dean and the

11:46

Muslim umah he is trying different

11:48

methods on you he’s trying to make you

11:49

lazy make you live your life without any

11:51

goals show no effort procrastinate bring

11:55

all kinds of excuses or whatever you

11:56

call it so why don’t we boycott these

11:59

things things either maybe you’re

12:00

thinking well but I’m just one person

12:03

what can I change with just my efforts

12:05

did you forget what your R says in Surah

12:07

Al Imran Ayah number 140 if you have

12:09

suffered injuries they suffered

12:11

similarly we alternate these days of

12:13

Victory and defeat among people so that

12:16

Allah May reveal the True Believers

12:18

choose Martyrs from among you and Allah

12:20

does not like the wrongdoers this Ayah

12:22

means days of Victory and defeat follow

12:25

one another and in this way people of

12:27

strong faith qualified believers emerge

12:29

so Allah system does not work the way

12:31

you think you’re not expected to change

12:33

everything in an instant if we show the

12:35

necessary sacrifice patience and effort

12:38

Allah will Elevate us he will make us

12:40

Victorious It’s Allah who will grant

12:42

Victory but except for a small group we

12:44

are not making enough effort to deserve

12:46

this when you put your head on your

12:48

pillow at night you’re expected to say

12:50

alhamdulillah today I did this thing to

12:52

serve Islam you are expected to Pray by

12:54

saying oh Allah make my tomorrow better

12:57

than today doesn’t your lord say

13:03

say oh Prophet what would my Lord care

13:05

for you if not for your supplication so

13:08

you need to pray with your tongue with

13:10

your heart your body your mind your

13:12

wealth your dream your efforts with

13:14

everything you have because praying is

13:17

not just done with the tongue taking the

13:19

necessary actions and making sacrifices

13:21

are also forms of prayer if you don’t

13:24

take any action for Islam Israel will

13:25

kill another baby in Palestine another

13:27

mosque will be set on fire in India

13:29

another Muslim will be displaced from

13:31

their home in Myanmar if you don’t take

13:33

any action another Muslim woman in East

13:35

turkistan will be forced to remove her

13:37

hijab don’t forget our biggest enemies

13:39

ignorance poverty and division we will

13:42

strongly hold on to our religion and

13:44

take action against these are you asking

13:46

where do I start how do I take the first

13:48

step but the reality is we have already

13:50

taken it because the first step was to

13:52

ask this question and you have done it

13:54

now that’s an accomplishment in and of

13:56

itself then the second step is setting a

13:58

goal goal if you don’t set a goal for

14:00

yourself no matter how eager or excited

14:03

you are to do something the excitement

14:04

for it your motivation will only last a

14:07

week do you have any field of Interest

14:09

then get to an advanced level in that

14:10

let the one who people look up to in

14:12

that field be a Muslim do you have a

14:13

talent for something find a way to use

14:15

it for Islam for Muslims do you have

14:17

children raise them by making them love

14:19

Islam teach them their religion do you

14:21

have non-muslim friends in your

14:22

workplace school or neighborhood or do

14:24

you have Muslims around you who don’t

14:25

practice their faith learn and practice

14:27

your religion in the best way you can

14:29

let your body language the way you carry

14:31

yourself your life as a whole represent

14:33

Islam to the outside for example set

14:35

goals for yourself to learn your

14:37

religion better if you want to make a

14:38

big Improvement in Islamic knowledge in

14:40

a short time you can take advantage of

14:42

the video series that we put together in

14:44

other words whoever you are do something

14:46

against ignorance Division and poverty

14:49

and when the time comes let the major

14:51

actors of Islam who will change the

14:53

course of events emerge and let them see

14:55

a great crowd behind them that preserves

14:57

and lives Islam and become one of those

14:59

good people let’s end the video with a

15:02

short story that will summarize

15:03

everything we have talked about a story

15:05

that has been told for Generations once

15:07

upon a time there was a carpenter that

15:10

crafted a beautiful Pulpit the beauty of

15:12

this Pulpit became so famous that its

15:14

Fame spread throughout the region it was

15:16

such an amazing work of art that some

15:18

people came and expressed their desire

15:20

to buy it however the carpenter refused

15:22

to sell it and say I made this Pulpit

15:24

for Masjid Al AA but at that time

15:27

Jerusalem was under the control of the

15:28

Crusaders and they were very powerful

15:30

those who heard his response said you’re

15:32

dreaming how can this be put in Masjid

15:34

Al AA while Jerusalem is ruled by the

15:36

Crusaders the carpenter said I’m a

15:38

carpenter what I can do is to make the

15:40

pulpit this is my duty and when the time

15:43

comes a commander Rises and conquers

15:45

Jerusalem and that is his duty among the

15:48

audience there was a child who was

15:49

listening carefully to every word the

15:51

carpenter was saying these words

15:53

penetrated his heart that was full of

15:55

Iman years pass that child grows up

15:58

gathers his arm and conquers Jerusalem

16:00

and places that pulpit in Masjid Al AA

16:03

in history he’s known as Salah a

16:10

[Music]
