Prophet's Lysam always encouraged us to be introspective and to look within.

And so if you were in Gaza right now, depending on what part of Gaza you are in,

and depending on what stage of the genocide we are in, some of these words will even come from the chautabah there, the people giving chitba there,

that look, we have to come back, we have to renew ourselves, we were better at some point

and let's connect back to Allah, Azuja, connect to the Quran.

But it's not done in a way of shaming, nor in a way of saying you deserve the genocide.

It's done as a means of saying rightly so that there's only goodness found in reconnecting to Allah,

and there's only hardship found in disconnecting from Allah,

even if that hardship is embellished with all sorts of material success and advancement.

Some of the Muslim nations that are advancing in the material sense are of the

most miserable nations and disconnected from Allah, subhanna, that they've ever been. And Allah

knows what he will do with them and when and how, but there's only goodness to be found in

connecting to Allah, there's only hardship to be found in disconnecting from Allah, subhanna,

what we don't do is we don't reserve the blame to a location, so we don't say, ahil Ghazza sin, therefore this punishment is descending on the people of Ghazza. They are the best of this Ummah. They are the awe and inspiration to the entire Ummah. By the way, to even the Palestinians, the rest of the Palestinians, look at the people of Gaza and say, subhanna Allah, what is it about you? You know, for many of us, our family split with, you know, refugee population that went to Gaza and that settled and became Aheel-Ghazza. They're just made differently. They're engineered differently. Allah, subhaniata has done something special with those people.

So it would be wrong to reserve it to that locality and say this part of the

Umma is suffering because of what they did and deeply un-Islamic, right?

Because then you would, for example, suggest that the Prophet

Salli-Slam suffered in U-Hud because of something the Prophet Salis-Slam did.

The Prophet's teeth were knocked out.

He bled almost to death.

He had to be carried, Sallah, Allah, and He was martyred.
