His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad has strongly condemned the cruelties being perpetrated upon the Palestinian people by Israel during his Eid-ul-Fitr Sermon earlier today (2/)
During the #Eid prayer sermon, he said: “Today, we must sincerely pray for the Palestinian people who are currently being subjected to grave cruelties. In recent days, when they went to pray in the Al Aqsa Mosque they were brutally attacked and beaten by the state authorities(3/)
“Similarly, they are being forced out of Sheikh Jarrah which is their own land”... “The (Israeli) police are using tear gas and bullets and now airstrikes have started.” (4/)
“They say they are targeting their enemies and militants but in reality horrific and unjust cruelties are taking place and innocent civilians are being attacked” (5/)
Praying for the Palestinians, His Holiness, Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:
“May Allah have mercy on the oppressed and may He bring the oppressors to justice.” (6/)
“May Allah have mercy on the oppressed and may He bring the oppressors to justice.” (6/)
His Holiness referenced reports published by Human Rights organisations including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International highlighting the discriminatory policies and cruel treatment inflicted upon the Palestinian people. (7/)
His Holiness stated, “May the Palestinian people find leaders who can guide them in the right way. Certainly, Muslim countries should come together and play their role to protect the Palestinians and other Muslims who are being oppressed in the world. (8/)
“Certainly, in this instance, the Muslim countries have failed to show the reaction they ought to have. They have given weak statements, whereas if they had all come together and given a united statement it would have had far greater impact and carried much more weight.” (9/)
Concluding, His Holiness said:
“May Allah grant sense and wisdom to the Muslim leadership. May He also give sense to the Israelis that they may refrain and withdraw from their injustices.” (10/)
“May Allah grant sense and wisdom to the Muslim leadership. May He also give sense to the Israelis that they may refrain and withdraw from their injustices.” (10/)
“Further, may Allah guide the Palestinians who are suffering from a lack of leadership if there is any injustice from their side. – Though in reality, this is not the case.” (11/)
“...If they (Palestinians) are using sticks they are being subjected to heavy missiles and sophisticated weaponry, which is something I have mentioned before as well. There is no comparison in terms of the force being used by both sides.” (12/)
“We must therefore pray for the Palestinians. May Allah the Almighty better their situation and create the means for their freedom and may they continue to hold on to their rightful places and land that were allotted to them in the initial treaty.” (13/)
