The Prophet’s Lovers Foundation issued a powerful statement in response to the call for global solidarity with Gaza by the late HAMAS Political Bureau Chief, Ismail Heniyye, who was martyred in assassination in Tehran shortly after his appeal.

The message commenced with a verse from the Holy Qur'an, underlining the moral and religious imperative to fight for the oppressed: "And what has happened to you that you do not fight in the way of Allah and for the sake of the helpless men, women, and children (for His sake)? 'Our Lord, take us out of this city whose inhabitants are wrongdoers, and send us a judge from your side and a helper from your side.'" (Surah Nisa-75).

The foundation described the ongoing situation in Gaza and Palestine as one of the most significant human tragedies of our time. They accused Israeli occupation forces, supported by Western powers and other governments opposed to Islam, of committing genocide against the Palestinian people. The statement detailed the grim realities on the ground, where over the past ten months, the number of martyrs, mostly women and children, has reached 100,000. It emphasized that countless others are wounded or struggling to survive under a severe and crippling siege.

"No safe place is left for the Muslim Palestinian people in Gaza," the statement read. It highlighted the dire conditions under which the people of Gaza live, including a lack of food, water, medical treatment, and shelter. The foundation described Gaza as the world's largest open-air prison, where residents are battling infectious diseases amid the devastation.

The foundation also drew attention to the horrific conditions faced by tens of thousands of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli prison camps and dungeons. These prisoners, the statement noted, endure severe torture and are deprived of all human rights, with daily reports of martyrdom among them.

"This war is not only the war of the Palestinians; it is the war of the entire Ummah," the foundation declared. It warned that the Zionist aggression, bolstered by the unwavering support of the United States and Islamophobic European countries, is an attempt to spread their brutal attacks across the entire Islamic world. The statement referenced Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech in the US Senate, where he described the conflict as a war of civilizations, necessary for the security of the West. "We, Israel, are the advanced front of the Western world. This is a war of civilizations. If we don't win in Gaza, the danger is at America's doorstep. We have to win for America, for the West," Netanyahu had stated.

The Prophet’s Lovers Foundation asserted that the West, including America, Britain, France, and all Islamophobic regimes, supports the Zionist genocide without hesitation. They described the conflict as a battle between truth and falsehood, Islamic civilization, and a Western civilization seeking to enslave and exploit the Islamic world. They framed the war as one between those striving to liberate Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque and the unbelievers who aim to establish a great Jewish state with Jerusalem as its capital.

In their call to action, the foundation stressed the need for the Muslim Ummah to stand united with Gaza and Palestine. "Muslims must win in Gaza. If the Zionists win in Palestine and Gaza, no part of the Islamic world will be safe," the statement urged. The foundation emphasized the necessity of supporting the Palestinian cause with all available resources, including lives and property, to prevent the spread of this brutal genocide to other Islamic geographies.

"We must join the ranks of this holy resistance with our lives and property," the foundation stated. They called on Muslims worldwide to aid the Palestinian people before the atrocities reach their own doorsteps. The foundation urged all Muslims to stand up for the Palestinian cause, irrespective of their nationality, and to make sacrifices for this sacred struggle.

The statement continued with a rallying cry: "O Muslim people! Let Gaza be our only agenda until Gaza is liberated, until the Zionists accept their humiliating defeat and end their atrocities and massacres, until our captive brothers and sisters in Zionist prisons return home! Let us be in the squares every day! Let's use every means to put pressure on our rulers and try to mobilize them for Gaza and Palestine. With our lives, with our wealth, with our tongues, with our prayers, let us be a partner in the resistance of our Palestinian brothers and sisters. Let us embargo the Zionists, the fiercest enemies of the Islamic Ummah, their supporters, the companies they own, their products, regardless of whether they are local or foreign. Let us try to cripple them economically. Let us not be a partner in the genocide of the Zionists with our money!"

Concluding the statement, the Prophet’s Lovers Foundation reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause. "As the Prophet’s Lovers, we cry out to the whole world from these squares; we will never abandon the Muslim Palestinian people. Until Gaza is liberated, until the resistance wins, we will not leave the squares empty, we will try to announce the cries of our brothers to the whole world and share their pain. Whatever the cost, whatever the price, we will shoulder the cause of Jerusalem, regardless of the attacks and lynching campaigns of the Zionists and their local collaborators, and we will protect this sacred cause with our lives, our property, and everything we have the opportunity to do."

The foundation's powerful message calls for unity, action, and unwavering support for Gaza and Palestine in the face of overwhelming adversity. (ILKHA)
