Ten messages from this year’s Hajj to support Gaza and the Palestinian cause.
This year’s Hajj season comes at a time when, for the second consecutive year, we are witnessing the greatest humanitarian disaster of the modern era in a small area called the Gaza Strip; where the heinous crimes and genocide committed by the Zionist occupation regime, with the support of the pretenders to humanity, namely the United States and the West, against children, women and all defenseless Palestinian civilians continue amidst shameful international silence. These people are deprived of the most basic rights to life, such as food, water, and medicine.
The great responsibility of Muslims towards the Palestinian people during the Hajj season
The scenes we see today in the media and social networks from Gaza pain every human conscience; where the people of Gaza knock on every door to find a morsel of bread, and that too in a humiliating manner, and the price of a morsel of bread is the lives of these people. The events we are witnessing today in Gaza will remain a stain of shame on the forehead of humanity and the entire world, which could not provide a drop of water and a bite of bread to the hungry and thirsty children of Gaza.
Today’s tragedy in Gaza proves that humanity has failed in fulfilling its moral and human duty to save the oppressed and stand against the oppressors. The Hajj season carries profound messages of humanity and faith in these few days, and this year it is renewed with a sincere call to support Gaza and its people who are under the knife of siege, aggression and brutal occupation.
Amid these painful events for the Islamic Ummah and the entire world, we once again enter the Hajj season, a global conference of faith. Muslims from all over the world come together in a unique scene that embodies the unity of faith and the connection of hearts. This season sends valuable messages that must be framed within the painful reality of the Islamic Ummah and make them a starting point for motivation, sacrifice, and action in support of the oppressed everywhere, and at the forefront of that is Gaza, which stands alone against the most barbaric people.
Ten Messages of Hajj in Support of Gaza
Hajj is not a ritual of worship separated from the reality of Muslims; rather, it carries an eternal divine message that revives awareness in the minds and souls, strengthens resolve and will, and guides the Islamic Ummah towards fulfilling its obligatory role in resisting injustice and oppression, helping the oppressed, and accepting responsibility for its core issues, the foremost of which is the cause of Palestine.
How is it possible that the Islamic world can silently witness these crimes while the Palestinian people in Gaza are being bombed, starving, their homes destroyed, their children dying before their eyes, and they are enduring the most unimaginable human suffering?
Here, we intend to highlight the 10 main messages of this year’s Hajj season in the shadow of the genocidal war that the occupiers have waged against the defenseless Palestinian people in Gaza.
