A Prayer For The Defenders

By Kilamxx

The terrorist regime of Tel Aviv continues on its mindless destruction of human lives and infrastructure in Gaza and Lebanon.

The three-week old carnage in Gaza by the Israelis has already resulted in the death of dozens of Palestinians and the incineration of hospitals, homes and other essential buildings.

The blatant invasion of the sovereign state of Lebanon enters its tenth day with the world watching impotently as Zionist warplanes, tanks and missiles smash Beirut and southern Lebanon into dusty ruins with the death of hundreds of Lebanese civilians seemingly just a distracting sideshow to a slick Hollywood action movie.

The drowned out protests voiced out by a few leaders against the Zionist aggression has only highlighted the overall apathy and cowardice of the leaders of Muslim countries in the face of the Israeli state terrorism and the Bush-headed bully boy posturing of the US.

The deafening silence of the neighboring Arab nations and the utter helplessness of the OIC leave a feeling of both shame and anger in the hearts of individual Muslims the world over.

Yet above the drone of forlorn despair can be heard the occasional scream of Katyusha rockets crashing down on Israeli soil.

Alhamdulillah for these rockets fired untargeted from mobile launchers by Hizbullah fighters located miles away behind the borders.

Causing some casualties and the occasional death among the Zionist occupiers, these rockets are no match for the up to date missiles and bombs deployed by the invading Zionist army in terms of degree of destruction, but they are the sparks of defiance representing the fighting spirit of the Muslim defenders. The psychological effects of the rockets far exceed their destructive capabilities.

We pray to Allah for the steadfastness of the Muslim fighters defending Lebanon.

We pray to Allah for the unwavering bravery of the Palestinian fighters defending Gaza and the West Bank.

The enemy bullets and shells might shatter your bodies but they will never shatter your will to defend your religion and your land.

You will never lose because for you the result will only be victory or shahid.

Amin.

Never think of those who are slain in the cause of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive, and well provided for by their Lord.

They are pleased with what Allah has given them with His grace, and they are also happy to think that there is nothing to fear or to grieve for those believers whom they have left behind and who have not yet joined them in their bliss.

They feel happy to have received Allah’s grace and bounty and have come to know that most surely, Allah does not waste the reward of the believers.

[ Quran 3 : 169 – 171]
