‘Celebrity’ Shaykhs justify the cowardly conduct of their Arabian paymasters

Gaza has become the defining issue of our times.

The genocidal zionists backed by the US and most of Europe are on one side.

The Arabian rulers are also part of this cabal of genocidals.

Hundreds of millions of people worldwide—Muslims and non-Muslims—appalled by zionist barbarism, stand on the other side and have condemned it.

The zionists’ perpetual whinning about victimhood stands exposed as a gigantic fraud.

The genocide in Gaza has revealed their ugly face to the entire world.

The canard of anti-Semitism no longer holds ground and cannot silence people from condeming zionist crimes.

The zionists are illegal squatters from Europe, Russia and North America that have colonized Palestine displacing the indigenous population.

It is also important to clarify that not all Jewish people are zionists.

There are more non-Jews, especially fundamentalist Christians, that are zionists, as well as Muslim zionists (like the Arabian rulers) than there are Jewish zionists.

The Christian fundamentalists are the driving force behind US policy toward Israel/Palestine issue.

There are other factors as well influencing US policy but we will not go into the details here.

Contrast the attitude of many Jewish people and non-Muslims who have spoken out against zionist barbarism in Gaza with that of most Muslim rulers and their paid agents.

We are particularly appalled by the behaviour of ‘celebrity’ Shaykhs masquerading as scholars when they are in fact a disgrace to the Ummah and the deen of Islam.

What have these so-called shaykhs done to evoke opprobrium?

Their crime is that they have done nothing for Gaza.

What they have done and are doing is even more appalling: justifying the disgraceful conduct of the Arabian rulers.

With the ongoing genocide in Gaza where children are starving to death while their parents look on helplessly, the Arabian rulers are busy consorting with the zionist war criminals.

The scholars for dollars and dirhams urge Muslims not to criticize the rulers otherwise the sky will fall.

The sky has already fallen on Gaza.

Do they not see the genocide?

Are they deaf to the cries of pain and anguish of the children, women and the elderly in Gaza?

How many more children must starve to death before the Arabian rulers are shaken out of their complacency?

Nobody should hold their breath for this to happen.

These rulers, whether the Bani Saud, Banu Nahyan, Banu Hamad, or the self-proclaimed Banu Hashim in Jordan, are all in bed with the zionists.

They are demanding that the Islamic resistance must disarm and leave the Gaza Strip, echoing the demands of the zionists.

They also demand that the resistance must hand over power to the zionist subcontractor, aka the Palestinian Authority (PA).

Like the Arabian rulers, the Palestinian Authority does not represent the people.

It is also extremely corrupt, not to mention subservient to the zionist war criminals.

One only has to look at the PA’s conduct in the zionist occupied West Bank where it is nominally incharge.

Its members act as informants for Israel.

Far from protecting the Palestinians, they act just as brutally toward their own people as do the zionists.

This brings us back to the role of the ‘celebrity’ shaykhs who lose no opportunity to warn Muslims against criticising the disgraceful conduct of the Arabian rulers.

Not one Arabian ruler has the support of their people.

Their regimes were created by the British colonialists to serve their interests.

With the rise of the US as the imperial power, these regimes eagerly became America’s slaves.

They feel more comfortable bowing to the man in the White House than bowing to the Lord of the Ka‘aba, the cube structure wrapped in black.

Let the ‘celebrity’ shaykhs be warned.

You will stand condemned as apologists for the tyrants on the Day of Judgement when nobody will be able to intercede on your behalf.

Your dollars and dirhams will not be able to save you from hellfire because your deeds will be strung around your necks.

The Qur’an is very clear about upholding justice: “O you who are securely committed [to Allah]! Be ever dynamic in standing for social justice, bearing witness to the truth for the sake of Allah, even though it be against your own selves or your parents and kinsfolk. Whether the person concerned is rich or poor, Allah’s claim takes precedence over [the claims of] either of them. Do not, then, follow your own desires, lest you swerve from justice: for if you distort [the truth] or disregard it, behold, Allah is indeed aware of all that you do!” (The Ascendant Qur’an, Surat al Nisa, verse 135).

Surely, these ‘celebrity’ shaykhs are not oblivious of the Words of Allah in the majestic Qur’an.

And if they continue justifying the disgraceful conduct of their Arabian paymasters, then they stand condemned as munafiqs.

And Allah has declared in the noble Qur’an that the munafiqs’ abode shall be hellfire (Surat al-Tawbah, verse 73).
