The Plot Against Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque
The
Zionist entity, which occupies the land of Palestine, has been plotting for
decades to demolish the Al-Aqsa Mosque. It has already carried out numerous excavations beneath the
mosque, hoping it will collapse on its own or as a result of the earthquakes
that occasionally strike the region. Their goal is to present Muslims with a fait
accompli, where the Al-Aqsa Mosque is destroyed, allowing them to build
what is known as the Temple, or
Solomon’s Temple, in its place.
Al-Aqsa Between Historical Reality and the Temple Claims
The truth
is that the Jews have
excelled in deceiving the world and distorting history. Solomon was a Muslim;
he had neither a 'Temple' nor a shrine. He used to pray in the Al-Aqsa Mosque
in a manner exactly like the prayer of Muslims. The same was true for David
(peace be upon him) and all of Allah’s prophets. Just as our God is One, His
guidance to humanity is one. The religion of Allah—the only religion He accepts
from His servants—is the same religion He taught our father Adam (peace be upon
him) and revealed through a long chain of His prophets and messengers. He then
preserved, perfected, and completed it in this final message, sent with the
Seal of the Prophets (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Holy Qur’an and
the Sunnah.
Therefore,
the Prophet Muhammad (Al-Mustafa) (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked:
'O Messenger of Allah, which mosque was first built on earth for the worship of
Allah?' He replied: 'The Sacred Kaaba.' It was asked: 'Then which?' He replied:
'Al-Aqsa Mosque.' He was then asked: 'What was the time span between them?' He
replied: 'Forty years.'
It is
established through the verses of the Holy Qur’an and the Hadiths of the
Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that the angels built the Sacred
Kaaba on the very first piece of dry land created by our Lord, in preparation
for the arrival of our father Adam (peace be upon him). It was subsequently
destroyed and rebuilt many times until the command came to Abraham (peace be
upon him) and his son Ishmael (peace be upon him) to raise the foundations of
the House.
Thus, if
the Kaaba was built billions of years before the creation of mankind, and
Al-Aqsa Mosque was built only forty years after the Kaaba—also billions of
years ago—then it was established as a mosque, not as a temple or a shrine. The
Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'There is no prophet or
messenger who did not perform Hajj (pilgrimage) to the House.' Just as our God
is One, His guidance to humanity is one, even if revealed through a long
succession of prophets and messengers. Therefore, we maintain that the Jews
have no right to be present on this land—neither religiously, ethnically,
historically, linguistically, legally, nor in any other form whatsoever.
1.5 Billion Muslims… and Al-Aqsa Under Attack
The
negligence of Arabs and Muslims; one and a half billion Muslims stand helpless
before this Zionist challenge to demolish one of the holiest sites in Islam. It
is the first of the two Kaabas, the first of the two Qiblas, and the second of
the two Holy Mosques. The site of the nocturnal journey of the Messenger of
Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is currently facing destruction at the
hands of the dregs of nations and the refuse of peoples, while one and a half
billion Muslims watch without taking action. For days, protests in Jerusalem
have been at their fiercest, with the occupation forces brutally striking the
men, women, and children defending Al-Aqsa Mosque. I do not know what we shall
say to the Lord of the Worlds if we allow these dregs to demolish Al-Aqsa
Mosque, having already prepared numbered stones, furniture, and all the tools
for the false rituals they perform in their temples. They even claim that the
Red Heifer has been cloned and is now being raised in Jerusalem as a symbol for
the establishment of the Jewish state on this land.
Who Are the Jews Today?
Therefore,
our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, warns us in His Precise Book, saying: 'You
will surely find the most intense of people in animosity toward the believers
to be the Jews and those who associate others with Allah.' He, the Almighty,
also says: 'Cursed were those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel by
the tongue of David and of Jesus, the son of Mary. That was because they
disobeyed and habitually transgressed. They used not to prevent one another
from wrongdoing they did. How wretched was that which they were doing.' And the
Lord of the Worlds says: 'So for their breaking of the covenant We cursed them
and made their hearts hard.' The Jews who live among us in these days have no
connection to Abraham (peace be upon him), no connection to Moses (peace be
upon him), and no connection to the Jewish religion at all.
The Jews
of today are not Jews; as a prominent Jewish writer noted, they are the dregs
of criminals who lived in the Khazar Kingdom around the Caspian Sea. It was a
pagan kingdom that committed aggression against its neighbors. A group of Jews
from northern Iran and northern Iraq moved to the Khazar Kingdom in the tenth
century AD and convinced the Khazar king, named King Bulan, to convert. He
converted and declared Judaism the religion of the Khazar Kingdom. These people
are of Tatar, Turkic, and Mongol descent, having no connection to the Arab
region, no connection to Palestine, no connection to Semitism, and no
connection to the Judaism brought by Moses (peace be upon him)
The Jews
living on earth today are the bedrock of disbelief throughout history; they are
the descendants of those who disbelieved in their Lord in the time of Moses
(peace be upon him) and worshipped the calf, the descendants of those who
disbelieved in their prophets, fought them, and killed them, and the
descendants of those who disbelieved in Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon
him)—and upon our Prophet be the best of prayers and the purest of salutations.
The remaining remnants of these people are the diaspora of the earth who
gathered and allied with the people of disbelief and paganism against a
heavenly message mentioned in their own books.
We say
that the Jews of today are not Jews and have no connection to Judaism, and that
their presence in the region was brought about by a conspiracy orchestrated by
Britain and France at the end of the nineteenth century AD and implemented at
the beginning of the twentieth century. The threads of the conspiracy were
completed with the declaration of a state for the Jews on the land of Palestine
in 1948 AD, and the United States of America adopted the sin of this conspiracy
after Britain and France.
Failure and Complicity… Who Will Save the Cause?
And I say that Muslims
have completely failed to explain the reality of Judaism to the world. What
connection do the Jews currently existing—the Russians, Czechs, Romanians,
Bulgarians, Americans, British, and French—have to Abraham (peace be upon him)?
What connection do they have to Moses (peace be upon him)? What connection do
they have to the land of Palestine, near or far? By what right do they expel
the original inhabitants of the land from their country, then occupy it by
force and find support from global powers? The only justification is the West's
attempt to take revenge on Muslims for their defeat in the Crusades. The
evidence for this is that the British and French military commanders—Gouraud of
France went to Saladin’s tomb after the establishment of this Zionist entity on
the land of Palestine, kicked his grave, and said: 'Today we have returned, O
Saladin,' and the British commander, upon entering Jerusalem, said: 'Today the Crusades have ended.
Therefore,
Muslims must realize that they should not be deceived by this international
conspiracy, and they must act to save one of their holiest sites. Muslims—both
leadership and individuals—must clarify to the world that the Jews have no
right to this land in any form whatsoever. This is a military occupation
carried out through the logic of force, and the Jewish mentality occupying the
land of Palestine is the mentality of thieves who stole this land in the
absence of the sons of Islam, the sons of Arabism, and even the original owners
of the land. They stole this land, and it is the nature of a thief that if he
prevails by force, he will not give up what he has stolen; he must be under
pressure to surrender what he stole. Therefore, we say that the solution to
this cause will not be achieved through negotiations, consultations,
recognition, or exchange.
