the Horns of the Shaytan: the Media
بسم الله
الحمد لله الذي أمر بالثبت في الأحكام و الأخبار، و الصلاة و السلام على النبي المصطفى المختار، و على أله و صحبه الطاهر الأبرار، و على من أتبع هديهم و على سنتهم خطا و سار، أما بعد:
السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركته يا أيها المؤمنين المسلمين
In this time and age, when we witness the Zionist massacres of our brothers and sisters in the land of Gaza, we all got to see the hypocrisy and untruthfulness of the Western Media, the horns of the Shaytan. How it firmly sides with the Zionist side just like their nations in the West, supporting and airing stories to their advantage just to turn the general public against the Muslims of Gaza, and for them to support Israel.
As we've seen them failing to condemn Israel and her horrible acts commited against the inhabitants of Gaza, making a clear distinction between those killed in Israel during the attack of Hamas and those slaughtered by Israeli bombs and shells in Gaza. They falsify lies claiming that massacres occured in Israel, which turned out to be stories lacking any evidence. Going against the idea that they should give the public unbiased news and information. Instead, they mock, lie and mass-spread the idea that Israel somehow has the right to "defend" itself. Against whom? the headless bodies of children in Gaza?
This recent media war of theirs has caused a lot of suffering for the believers, even in the West as we've seen in the recent news. Everything from young Muslim children being stabbed to death to Muslims being arrested and abused. A general hatred for Islam and the Muslims has increased.
Therefore, I ask Allah ﷻ to aid our brothers and sisters in Gaza, to accept the martyrs among them, and to grant them victory over the disbelievers and for Him to curse the Zionists and their allies. آمين
But what astonished me personally was how the Muslims of the West reacted to the lies of the Western Media regarding this recent onslaught. How they quickly pinpointed their lies, investigated, and exposed their silly lies against the Muslims of Palestine and the recent attack led by Hamas on the soil of the Zionists. This naturally warms the heart of a believer to see the Muslims stand up for the oppressed Muslims and expose the lies of the disbelievers regarding them. As well as refusing to trust the Media at first hand without thoroughly investigating the issue.
Yet, the story was very different when al-Khilafah (عزها الله) was established in 2014 by the blessed Mujahideen of al-Sham and al-Iraq of the Dawla. Instead of bringing joy to the believers all over the world, to not just support but join the struggle on the blessed path of Allah ﷻ, the Muslims turned a blind eye towards them and sided with the West and her think-tank, the Media, in their lies against them and their Khilafa and began to slander them together with the disbelievers.
When the Khilafah and the Mujahideen became a big threat for the disbelieving and apostate organizations in al-Sham and al-Iraq at the time, especially after the Fall of Mosul (2014). Obliterating the Sykes-Picot borders and establishing the Law of Allah that the Liberals despise because the Khilafah shaked the throne of the mushrik ideology of Democracy that they've spread throughout the world.
The Western Media therefore began their war against the Mujahideen to turn not just the general public in support of the International Intervention against the Khilafah, but the Muslims themselves.
They began mass-spreading falsified lies on the Khilafah through the support and backing of the Sahawat organizations as well as the Iraqi and al-Assad regimes from whom the overall majority of these lies originate from. Everything from women allegedly being "circumcised" to ethnic genocides and destruction. This influenced the Muslim world together with the spread of Liberalism and Modernity amongst the young generations of the Muslims thanks to think-thank organizations and public speakers who are famous today.
This turned the innocent slaves of Allah ﷻ who strive on his path to establish His Shari'ah, in their eyes, to become criminals who desire nothing but to kill and cause destruction. Always returning their argument against the Khilafah back to the articles and reports of the Western media as an evidence of their alleged deviance and error. Even today, the resistance and hatred of the Khilafah is based upon these lies of the disbelievers.
Instead of supporting this blessed Khilafah that wants to establish Islam and the Law of Allah ﷻ, the Muslims refuse to aid them but protect Hamas instead, a organization that has undoubtedly commited nullifers of Islam such as ruling by democracy, alliance with disbelievers and nationalism. When the Western Media publishes articles filled with lies about the attacks on 7th of October, they investigate and dismantle them.
When it comes to Khilafah, they blindly accept them and do not question them like they question today regarding Hamas and the events in Palestine. As well as basing their accusations and slanders on them. It's not a shock to see that some media channels like al Jazeera are supportive of Hamas and show things that other channels do not, specificially because their nation of origin (the Taghut state of Qatar) is allied with the Hamas organization. I wonder if they would do the same if it was the Khilafah in the place of Hamas.
By Allah, if Hamas was on the straight path and upon the Aqeedah and Manhaj of the Prophet ﷺ like the Mujahideen of the Khilafah, they would be attacked by all sides, including the Tawagheet in the Muslim world.
Therefore my reminder to all the believers and Muslims all throughout the world. Fear Allah regarding yourselves! Fear Allah regarding the Mujahideen! How come that you do not recognize this quiet hypocrisy sweeping amongst yourselves? Questioning their claims when it comes to Hamas and the events in Palestine, while blindly accepting them when it comes to the Khilafah?
I remind you to investigate and analyze the claims of the Western Media on the Khilafah just like you do regarding Hamas and the war in Palestine. When one sincerely investigates the claims and the articles of the disbelievers, one sees that nearly all of them originate from alleged reports from either the Sahawat organizations (Tahrir al-Sham, PKK, Peshmerga...etc) or the apostate governments of Iraq and Syria who are clear opponents to the Khilafah and would benefit from lying on her and sometimes testimonies of unknown people from these areas that can easily be manipulated, even staged. No clear and internal evidence can be produced, such as photos and videos of what they accuse the Khilafah of, and whenever they tried to produce, they turned out to be deep fakes, which I'll write about in the future. إن شاء الله
This is because we as the slaves of Allah ﷻ cannot trust the disbelievers with their information and claims, especially regarding the Muslims, until we investigate the matter and see if it's truly correct. Didn't Allah ﷻ say in His Glorious Book:
"يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن جَاءكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَأٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَن تُصِيبُوا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ"
Translation: "O you who believe! If some transgressor brings you news (that requires taking action), verify it carefully (before you believe and act upon it), lest you harm a people in ignorance and then become regretful for what you have done."
(al-Hujurat, verse 6)
Ibn al-Kathir (رحمه الله) said in his Tafsir on this verse:
"Allah the Exalted ordered investigating the news that sinners and the wicked bring, to make sure of its authenticity. Otherwise, if the sinner's word is taken for granted and a decision is based on it, regardless of whether the information is true or not, the authorities will be taking the lead of the sinners. Allah the Exalted and Most Honored forbade taking the path of the corrupted and sinners. This is why groups of the scholars of Hadith refuse to accept narrations from narrators whose reliability is unknown, for they might be from among the wicked people, in reality."
Therefore ask yourselves, oh believers, why we don't accept hadith from the disbelievers, apostates and the hostile enemies of Allah.
You've indeed harmed the people of ignorance by turning them against the Khilafah and her innocent Mujahideen without right and research, instead basing it blindly on the claims of the wicked transgressors, the Western Media. I'm not saying, by Allah, that the Khilafah or her Mujahideen are infallible, becasue they are not. Indeed, mistakes have occured in the past but those who've commited them have been brought to justice and there are many examples that could be quoted as evidence for this.
But this widespread baseless opposition against the Khilafah is because of these lies of the Media but as well as the corruption of Islam that is taking place, where they attempt to change Islam for it to conform with the laws, beliefs and ideas of Liberalism and Democracy. This sinful act of many Muslims paved the road for the support that many Muslims had for the Western Intervention against the Khilafah, even celebrating the war of the allied disbelievers against the Mujahideen, their brothers in faith. Therefore one sees how much destruction their blindfollowing of the lies caused for the Ummah and the Mujahideen.
Therefore, I ask all the believers to contemplate about this and ask Allah for guidance and sincerity, and I ask Allah ﷻ to make this short publication benefical and to guide me and all of us to the straight path.
Finally, oh Muslims, obey Allah ﷻ and His Messenger ﷺ and investigate before believing or acting upon anything!
والله أعلم
