Anyone who does not support the oppressed people of Gaza in Palestine is not a Muslim / Zionist regime goods should be boycotted

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) – Kabul: As the International Quds Day approaches, religious affairs experts in the “Constructive Dialogue, Review of Challenges and Presentation of Solutions” program, which is held twice a week by the Tebyan Center in Kabul, in the second discussion of this week, yesterday, Thursday, considered International Quds Day the axis of unity and empathy of Islamic communities and emphasized that this day should be widely celebrated by all free people of the world, especially Muslims, all over the world, in support of the oppressed people of Gaza in Palestine. 

 

The Position of Jerusalem in Islam

 

In this discussion, Ms. Sakina Mousavi, an expert on religious affairs, stated that Jerusalem as the first Qibla of Muslims has a special position in Islam and said: The Holy Prophet of Islam prayed towards Jerusalem for more than thirteen years.

 

According to her, another reason for the sanctity of Jerusalem is the ascension of the Holy Prophet of Islam from there to heaven; In this way, the Holy Prophet first ascended from the Grand Mosque to Jerusalem and then to heaven.

Referring to the first verse of the Holy Surah Al-Isra, in which God blessed not only Al-Aqsa Mosque but also the lands surrounding it, he added: There is also a narration from Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) regarding the virtue of worshipping in Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Referring to a narration from Imam Ali (peace be upon him), Mrs. Mousavi described Al-Aqsa Mosque as one of the four palaces of Paradise in the world and said: According to the Holy Prophet, Al-Masjid Al-Haram, Al-Masjid Al-Nabawi, Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Mosque of Kufa are among the palaces of Paradise, and according to a narration from the Infallibles (peace be upon them), performing the obligatory prayers in these four mosques is equivalent to performing Hajj.

 

Strategies for the Afghan people to support the Muslims of Gaza

He pointed out the constant support of the Afghan people for the Muslims of Gaza in Palestine and added: The people of the country should now also work to raise awareness and information through social and digital platforms, to create psychological pressure on the Zionist regime and to send financial assistance through charitable foundations to the oppressed in Gaza, and also to pray for their victory.

 

Islam’s emphasis on supporting the oppressed, especially the Muslims of Gaza

 

Further on the discussion, Ms. Kamila Hosseini, one of the religious affairs experts, referring to the responsibility of Muslims against the oppressors, said, citing a narration from the Holy Prophet of Islam: The Holy Prophet of Islam has said that “Whoever takes the right of an oppressed person from an oppressor will be with me in Paradise.”

 

He stated that the Holy Prophet of Islam, in another hadith, regarding not helping another Muslim who needs defense, said: “Whenever a Muslim is oppressed in a corner of the world and asks for cooperation and another Muslim does not stand up to support him, he is undoubtedly not a Muslim.” He added: Therefore, based on this hadith, it is the duty of all Muslims that whenever a person – whether Muslim or non-Muslim – is oppressed somewhere, we should support and cooperate with him.

Referring to a narration from Imam Ali (peace be upon him), Banu Hosseini also said: The Holy Prophet told Imam Hassan and Imam Hussein (peace be upon them) to always be the friend and helper of the oppressed and the enemy of the oppressor. Emphasizing this narration, she added that this narration can be an example of all the followers and lovers of the Holy Prophet, not only those two great Imams; therefore, relying on these narrations, we must also stand up against the usurping Zionist regime in defense of the oppressed in Gaza in Palestine and not remain silent.

Stating that the issue of defending and supporting Islamic social interests takes precedence over addressing individual human interests, he said: "In the issue of supporting the oppressed people of Gaza in Palestine, the issue of Muslim social interests is also relevant, and all Muslims must defend them against the attacks of the bloodthirsty Israeli regime with unity and empathy." This religious affairs expert, referring to the atrocities that have been imposed on the people of this country by arrogant and colonial powers in the history of Afghanistan, added: "The people of Afghanistan, given their experience, today understand the situation of the oppressed but honorable Muslims of Gaza well and will definitely support them." He considered the Gaza war against the enemies of humanity and Islam in Palestine as the front line of the infidel world's battle with Islam and the free people of the world, and emphasized: If we do not support our brothers and sisters in Gaza and Palestine today, the usurper regime's globalism and brutality will increase day by day, and this pursuit of superiority and excess will not only be a threat to Islam and Muslims, but also a threat to the entire human and human society.

 

It is worth mentioning that in this discussion, religious affairs experts emphasized the boycott of the economic goods of the usurper Zionist regime by all the free people of the world, especially the Muslims of the world, and said: If we boycott brands and companies affiliated with this occupying regime and do not buy their goods, we will not only harm its economy, but we can also be a factor in reducing its military power; which in itself will be the greatest help to the oppressed people of Gaza in Palestine.
