In a world where oppression and corruption have become normalized and morality is under systematic attack, the crisis in Palestine demands that every person of conscience take a stand. This powerful sermon, delivered during the blessed month of Ramadan, traces the roots of Zionism from its secular European origins to the modern apartheid state that has displaced millions, and calls upon Muslims and all people of moral conviction to respond with strategic action, education, and unwavering commitment to truth and justice.
The Quranic Prophecy About the Children of Israel
The Quran in Surah al-Isra (the chapter of the Children of Israel) prophesied that the Israelites would cause great corruption in the earth and establish themselves above others with arrogant force, and that they would do this twice. Islamic scholars noted that the first instance occurred after Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him), when internal division and corruption led to the destruction of the first Kingdom of Israel by the Assyrians and later the Neo-Babylonian Empire. The second time, which we are witnessing today, is the modern State of Israel, which has established itself as untouchable while spreading corruption and injustice.
God has prophesied in the Holy Quran: “We have decreed to the Israelites in the scripture that you will cause great corruption in the earth, establishing yourself above others with arrogant force, and you will do this twice.” We are living in the second time.
What Can Be Done
- Zionism is not Judaism; it is a racist, secular political ideology that disgraces the blessed names of Prophets Moses and David (peace be upon them)
- The interconnected world of mass media and communication is a powerful tool for spreading truth and evidence to counter the false narratives of mainstream news
- Muslims must work strategically and intelligently, making calculated decisions rather than acting on emotion alone
- Every man, woman, and child must actively work to spread truth and justice, because Allah supports justice for everyone regardless of their religion
You are either the one being changed or you are the changer. That is the world we live in. The question you have to ask yourself is: which am I? Am I influencing the world around me for good and righteousness, or is the commonality of corruption rooting itself inside me?
The path forward requires more than outrage; it requires education, unity, strategic engagement, and above all, a sincere return to the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). We ask Allah to raise leaders who understand proper leadership according to the prophetic model, to make us people of wisdom who make calculated strategic decisions, and to unify the hearts of all who stand for morality and justice against the forces of corruption and oppression.
