God is victorious and avenger

Therefore he called upon his Lord: I am overcome, come Thou then to help (Gamar: 10)

When Noah despaired of guiding them, "he offered to the Lord: I have been defeated (by this rebellious people), take my revenge on them"

They never overcame me with evidence, but they overcame me through cruelty and crime, denial, and all kinds of torture and pressure.

A former analyst with the US spy agency CIA says the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip will end immediately if Washington stops the flow of weapons to the occupying regime.

Speaking to Press TV, Larry Johnson condemned the United States for “enabling” Israel to kill civilians during its bloody war on the besieged Gaza Strip.

“If it (the US) halted the shipment of ammunition, bombs and artillery rounds and told Israel we are going to cut off your economic aid, the war will stop,” he said.

However, he added, a suspension of arms transfer to Israel “is not a feasible option” politically because of the influence of the Israeli lobby in the US, AIPAC, and the support the regime enjoys among the Democrats and the Republicans.

The US, a staunch ally of Israel, provides over $3 billion in military aid to the regime annually.

It has offered untrammeled support for Israel since October 7, when the usurping entity waged the brutal war on Gaza following a historic operation by the Palestinian Hamas resistance group.

Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 18,608 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 50,594 others.

Johnson said that Palestinians are “headed towards being extinguished” in Gaza as Israel is targeting and destroying hospitals and schools, as well as critical infrastructure for sewage and water in the besieged territory.

“They (the Israelis) are making it (Gaza) deliberately unlivable and the world is sort of figuratively sitting on its hands even though it is voting to condemn Israel,” he noted, referring to Tuesday’s high vote for a UN General Assembly resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.

The expert also said that the heated rhetoric against Israel should be accompanied by actual measures such as cutting off the oil supply to the occupied territories.

As long as Israel is not facing any economic consequences for its actions, it will continue its murderous policy against the Palestinians without any regard for their lives, he predicted.

“The only thing that is going to stop that (the war) is tangible action by countries that control the ports…, the oil and things that Israel needs,” he said.

Murji'ah

Murji'ah (Arabic: المرجئة, English: "Those Who Postpone"), also known as Murji'as or Murji'ites, were an early Islamic sect. Murji'ah held the opinion that God alone has the right to judge whether or not a Muslim has become an apostate. Consequently Muslims should practice postponement (ʾirjāʾ) of judgment on committers of major sins and not make charges of disbelief (’takfir’) or punish accordingly anyone who has professed Islam to be their faith. They also believed that good deeds or omission of them do not affect a person's faith, and a person who did no other act of obedience would not be punished in the afterlife as long as they held onto pure faith. They used to say that "disobedience does not harm faith as good deeds do not help with disbelief."
The emergence
During the early centuries of Islam, Muslim thought encountered a multitude of influences from various ethnic and philosophical groups that it absorbed. This group emerged as a result of the controversy around the assassinations of the Rashidun caliphs Uthman ibn Affan and Ali ibn abi Talib. The Murji'ah emerged as a theological school that was opposed to the Kharijites on questions related to early controversies regarding sin and definitions of what is a true Muslim. The Khawarij believed that committing a sin amounted to leaving Islam and the Murji'ah reacted with the opposite extreme, that deeds not only do not result in leaving Islam, but do not affect one's faith at all.
As opposed to the Kharijites, Murjites advocated the idea of deferring judgment of other peoples' belief. The word Murjiah itself means "one who postpones" in Arabic. Murjite doctrine held that only God has the authority to judge who is a true Muslim and who is not, and that Muslims should consider all other Muslims as part of the community. This theology promoted tolerance of Umayyads and converts to Islam who appeared halfhearted in their obedience. They urged unity among Muslims, and their conciliatory principles made them popular.
Beliefs on major sin
In another contrast to the Kharijites, who believed that committing a major sin would render a person non-Muslim, Murjites considered genuine belief in and submission to God to be more important than acts of piety and good works. They believed Muslims committing major sins would remain Muslim and be eligible for paradise if they remained faithful. Conversely, those engaging in shirk cannot benefit salvation from performing good acts. Thus, faith is paramount.

Salafism

Salafism is known as Ahle Hadith.
Ahl-i Hadith ( People of the traditions of the Prophet) is a movement which emerged in the Indian subcontinent in the mid-19th century. Its followers call themselves Ahl al-Hadith and are considered to be a branch of the Salafiyya school. Ahl-i Hadith is antithetical to various beliefs and mystical practices associated with folk Sufism. Ahl-i Hadith shares many doctrinal similarities with the Wahhabi movement and hence often classified as being synonymous with the "Wahhabis" by its adversaries. However, its followers reject this designation, preferring to identify themselves as "Salafis".


Salafiyya movement
The Salafiyya movement is a conservative, Islahi (reform) movement within Sunni Islam that emerged in the second half of the 19th century and advocate a return to the traditions of the "devout ancestors" (Salaf al-Salih). It has been described as the "fastest-growing Islamic movement"; with each scholar expressing diverse views across social, theological, and political spectrum. Salafis follow a doctrine that can be summed up as taking "a fundamentalist approach to Islam, emulating the Prophet Muhammad and his earliest followers—al-salaf al-salih, the 'pious forefathers'....They reject religious innovation, or bidʻah, and support the implementation of Sharia (Islamic law)."[ The Salafi movement is often divided into three categories: the largest group are the purists (or quietists), who avoid politics; the second largest group are the militant activists, who get involved in politics; the third and last group are the jihadists, who constitute a minority. Most of the violent Islamist groups come from the Salafi-Jihadist movement and their subgroups. In recent years, Jihadi-Salafist doctrines have often been associated with the armed insurgencies of Islamic extremist movements and terrorist organizations targeting innocent civilians, both Muslims and Non-Muslims, such as al-Qaeda, ISIL/ISIS/IS/Daesh, Boko Haram, etc. The second largest group are the Salafi activists who have a long tradition of political activism, such as those that operate in organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood, the Arab world's major Islamist movement. In the aftermath of widescale repressions after the Arab spring, accompanied by their political failures, the activist-Salafi movements have undergone a decline. The most numerous are the quietists, who believe in disengagement from politics and accept allegiance to Muslim governments, no matter how tyrannical, to avoid fitna (chaos).

Shia Islam

Shīʿa Islam is the second-largest denomination of Islam, comprising around 10–15% or more among the total Muslim population.

In addition to believing in the supreme authority of the Quran and teachings of Prophet Muhammad(pbuh), Shīʿa Muslims believe that Holy Prophe's family, the Ahl al-Bayt ("People of the Household"), including his descendants known as Imams, have distinguished spiritual and political authority over the community and believe that ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (pbuh), Holy Prophet's cousin and son-in-law, was the first of these Imams and the rightful successor to Muhammad, and thus reject the legitimacy of the first three Rāshidūn caliphs but respect to them as Sahaba of the Holy Prophet.

Why did Hamas start the war?

You have probably heard this question from people in the streets and markets. But it seems that such an issue is more with the purpose of showing the changes of Palestine in a suspicious and upside down way and of course replacing the oppressed and the oppressor. A point that should not be overlooked is that during the 75 years of occupation, the Zionists, relying on their superior economic, political and especially military power, have not refrained from any crime against the original inhabitants of the Palestinian land.

However, now the page has turned; The resistance, which once relied only on stones to defend and confront the Zionists, is now changing fields with missiles and drones. So it must be said that the resistance was aware of the consequences of its decision. However, is it possible to be indifferent to insults and insults to Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque as the first Qibla of Muslims? Is it possible to be indifferent to the 7,000 Palestinian prisoners who are caught in the hands of the Zionists and are suffering a lot of pain and hardship?

Hamas's attack was preemptive and a response and defense against 75 years of crimes and killings, martyrdom of thousands of martyrs, capture of thousands of captives, brutal killing of defenseless women and children, 16 years of complete siege of Gaza, occasional violations and unmentionable assaults and tortures against Palestinian women and prisoners. Men in the prisons of the Zionist regime have prevented the growth and development of Palestinian youth.

This happens to be a fundamental step in the path of the great cause, that is, the freedom of Palestine. Is there any other way to free Palestine from the grip of the invaders but resistance? Was the outcome of the Camp David meeting and Abraham's peace more damaging to the rights of the Palestinians? With these interpretations, in the long term, the benefits of this resistance movement are definitely more than its losses.

The collapse of Israel's political and military authority, extensive economic consequences, the beginning of the process of reverse migration of Jews from occupied Palestine, and the global isolation of Zionists are only a few of these achievements. In addition, it should not be forgotten that Hamas, which initiated such a move, must have plans for the next steps and the possible ground entry of the Zionists into Gaza. We have to wait until then and see what the resistance will do.

God does not like oppressors

وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ فَيُوَفِّيهِمْ أُجُورَهُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ(آل عمران: 57)

And as to those who believe and do good deeds, He will pay them fully their rewards; and Allah does not love the unjust.

This verse is about Jesus

Preferring the fate of unbelievers over believers is because those who disbelieved in Christ (peace be upon him) were the majority.

In addition, it is well used that in the first verse, the punishment of the world is also mentioned, that the unbelievers (meaning Jews here) will suffer painful punishments in this world as well, and the history of the Jewish nation is a witness to this claim.

Interestingly, in the first verse only reliance is placed on disbelief, but in the second verse, faith and righteous deeds are both mentioned together, pointing out that disbelief alone can be the source of divine punishment, but faith alone is not sufficient for salvation, but righteous deeds are also. a demander

In addition, the sentence "Allah does not love the unjust" seems to be referring to the point that all the branches of disbelief and bad deeds are summed up in oppression in its broadest sense, and it is certain that God who does not love oppressors will never oppress his servants and reward them. will give them in full.
