Nakba 2011 -  Remembering Palestine



Human march to Palestine, Nakba 2011



 

It was 63 years ago on the 15th of May 1948 that a major calamity took place. It was a moment of disaster and catastrophe (Nakba) for the Muslim world, for the Arab world and in particular, for the Palestinian people. The day of Nakba (disaster and catastrophe) refers to the day when the tyrant Israeli regime declared its independence on a land that did not belong to them. It was a country that was taken oppressively and aggressively from its people who had been living on it for many centuries. Palestine had been passed from generation to generation from ancestor to offspring to the Palestinian people.
 
Many Palestinians were killed and a lot more were deported illegally from their land by the Israeli Zionist regime. Over 800,000 people were deported into camps of neighboring countries such as Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt, and now after 60 years this number exceeds 5 million people. They have no rights to return back to their land and the land of their parents and forefathers and furthermore, this tyrant regime continues to work on making sure that the future generations forget and neglect their right of return .. their right to return to the land they belong to, to the land  their parents and grandparents were born in, to the land they once lived in. However, it is Allah’s will that the new generation born outside their original home and country Palestine be more aware and eager to return back to their country, more so, than any previous generation.
 
It’s important that every Muslim who believes in Allah, His Messenger and the Quran concerns themselves with what happened in Palestine and feel the pain its people suffered over the past 63 years at the hands of the Israeli regime. It is our obligation to revive the matter and educate future generations and should not succumb to the notion that this affects the Palestinian people only, as we are being lead to believe.
 
Allah, The Almighty mentions the sacred land of Jerusalem in the sacred Quran in many verses, as he says
“Glorified (and Exalted) is He (Allâh) Who took His slave (Muhammad SAW) for a journey by night from Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (at Makkah) to Al-Masjid-al-Aqsa (in Jerusalem), the neighbourhood where of We have blessed, in order that We might show him (Muhammad SAW) of Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, etc.). Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer” (17:1)
 
He also says
“And to Sulaimân (Solomon) We subjected the wind strongly raging, running by his command towards the land which We had blessed. And of everything We are the All-Knower” (21;81).
 
There are so many verses that speak about the virtues and the great status of the Aqsa mosque and its surrounding land. As Muslims, we need to acknowledge the importance of Jerusalem and the Aqsa mosque and understand their importance is as serious as Aqueedah and creed of our religion. It is important for us to be concerned about the Palestinian people and their suffering for over the last half century. It is important that we revive this matter in our lives and the lives of the future generations. It is important that we send a clear message to the Zionist Israeli regime that as long as there is a Muslim living on this earth the Palestinian case will never be forgotten, and the call for the right to return of the Palestinian people to Palestine will never stop.
