Under Islamic jurisprudence, when a Muslim land is attacked, its defence becomes an obligation upon those nearest — beginning with the Gulf states. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain have not only failed in this obligation but have actively facilitated the aggression by hosting American military bases and providing logistical support, constituting muwalat (alliance with aggressors against Muslims). Islam requires these states to terminate their alliances, expel foreign forces, and support Iran's defence. The fact that Iran is a Shia state with a compromised regional record does not alter this obligation — classical Islamic jurisprudence mandates the defence of Muslim lands against non-Muslim aggression regardless of the theological or political failings of those under attack.

Rebellion Against A Monarch Or Military Leader Is Legitimate According to Ahlul Sunnah
"As for treating rulers as sacred or giving them exaggerated respect- as some Islamic sects do today - this has no basis in the religion and no evidence to support it. This idea came from the Shia, who made Imamate a pillar of faith and replaced the testimony of faith with belief in leadership. Ahl al-Sunnah do not hold this view."
Caliphate Contentions (8): “We Don’t Need a Caliphate As I can Practise Islam in Safety Today”
To say “we are safe, so we do not need the caliphate” is to confuse the individual's luxury with the community’s duty. It is to claim sufficiency in fragments of the deen, while neglecting its collective expression and divine mandate. It is also complacency and a failure to recognise that their individual circumstances may be in relative comfort due to the space afforded to them by a kufr regime and ideology today, that can be easily taken away tomorrow – leaving them with no recourse to anyone to stand up for them on the basis of Islam either.
The Arab Regimes: The True Iron Dome that Protects Israel
Palestine will not be liberated until the Ummah is liberated. Gaza is not the only one besieged—the entire Islamic world remains a prisoner within the borders of Sykes-Picot, governed by regimes that fear the West and submit to its commands. Liberation will begin the day these rulers are removed, and Islamic sovereignty is restored - one and indivisible - upon the Prophetic model.

Betrayers of the Inheritance (2) – Resistance Scholars vs Regime Scholars
The difference between the scholars of resistance and the scholars of the regime is not one of interpretation. It is one of allegiance. The scholars of the regime have allied themselves with the nation-state, with its borders, treaties, and strategic partnerships. They invoke fiqh only to neuter obligation, to convert jihad into illegal activism, and to criminalize solidarity as sedition. Their invocations of "wisdom" serve only to excuse cowardice.

Implications of Selling Oil for Gold (1/3)
Shifting oil sales from the Petrodollar to gold would drastically alter global financial dynamics. Nations would accumulate gold instead of US dollars, possibly devaluing the dollar and boosting gold demand and price volatility. This could challenge US economic hegemony and introduce global economic uncertainty. There might be a push towards a new gold-based trade standard, affecting trade balances, monetary policies, and potentially leading to more stable but expensive oil prices. International trade agreements would likely need renegotiation to adapt to these changes.
Don’t cry for Gaza – save your tears for yourself
The ongoing oppression of Muslims worldwide, particularly in Gaza, requires urgent action beyond temporary solutions. True liberation necessitates rejecting nationalism for a unified Islamic polity.
The Betrayal of Palestine
Let us be blunt and direct. The normative Islamic solution for Palestine, and for any other occupied land, is to liberate the land through Jihad. It is not permitted to accept any permanent peace with an occupier, or to ally with them in any way whatsoever. As mentioned by Allah in the Quran – إِنَّمَا … Continue reading The Betrayal of Palestine
