Palestine, main cause of all Muslims

The conference discussed the current issues in the world of Islam including the issue of Palestine, oppressed Palestinian nation and settlement expansion as well as judaization of Palestine, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).

The conference on its last legs issued a statement highlighting the most prominent issues including confrontation with Takfir (excommunication) across the world of Islam.

Following is the Concluding statement of the conference:

1-The conferees affirmed that the Palestinian cause is the main cause of all Muslims, and that Muslims must all unite to confront the Zionist danger, protect Al-Aqsa mosque, the first Kiblah (praying direction of Muslims).

2-The conference calls upon the Islamic nation, through its Ulamas, active Islamic parties, thinkers and loyalists everywhere to confront the Zionist danger that is occupying the sacred land of Palestine, oppress Palestinian brothers, and committing the worst forms of oppression and occupation in order to fully judaize Jerusalem. We reaffirm that the Palestinian people have given our nation the best example of survival, and have shown many examples of resistance; the last of them was those men in Al-Aqsa who were capable, by their continuous stay in the mosque, of protecting it from the attacks of Israeli settlers.

3- The experience of the Islamic nation during the past decades has proven the ability of the resistance to achieve victory in Lebanon and Palestine despite the unlimited support that the Zionist entity is receiving, the languish of the Arab nations and the complicated circumstances that our nations is passing through. We highlight the importance of supporting this Arab resistance with all possible means and in all financial and moral forms.

4- The conferees insisted on the importance of stopping hostile acts such as the blockade on Gaza strip and the necessity to lift the blockade imposed on these people, victims of injustice. The conferees consider Zionism to be a danger threatening not only Palestine but also the security and peace of the whole region, and threatening the entity of the nation. Any remissness in the confrontation with this danger will destabilize the entire region.

5- the conferees confirmed that the unity of Muslims, in all their confessions and sects, is a religious duty that the Quran and Sunnah have mentioned, and it is the duty of the Ulamas, thinkers and political leaders among them that put all efforts in in order to unite Muslims and confront whatever can cause conflicts between them, and spread hatred and repugnance between them.

6-The conferees insist that is it absolutely forbidden to declare other Muslims as infidels (takfir), that the blood of a Muslim and his wealth and family are not to be touched by another Muslim. The Muslim soul is a respected soul that must not be threatened or humiliated, and that Islam came to spread justice and peace and security among the people of all humanity. Also they insisted that the phenomenon of terrorism and takfir is abnormal and do not represent this umma (nation) and its values or religion and insisted on the necessity of combined efforts to confront those two phenomena.

7- The conferees insist that the late developments uncovered the extremist takfiris and exposed their cruelty and connection with the global domineering and Zionist enemy. That confirms the right vision of the scholars who work to expose those non Islamic ideas, which are imposed by the west. Here we call for solidarity and completing each other between all faithful in Islam to confront this perverted ideology and exposing it and to work on saving Muslims from getting misguided by this misled division.

8- We call the Ulimas working all over the place to cooperate in order to spread the Islamic values which can gather all Muslims despite their differences that lead to failure, as Allah said: “and hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided."

9- All ulimas must work on the idea of the certain fact: “The end of Israel” which may raise the hope in our souls and leads the umma to a new awakening based on true hopes.

10- The Ulemas salute the resistance power especially the Iranian Islamic Republic headed by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Sayyed Ali Khamenaei for his big support in the continuation of the resistance and its persistence.

11- The conference calls the ulemas and thinkers, authorities and political leaders to stop the bloodshed in our umma that help the benefits of Israel which happens by maintaining the political solutions in our countries, away from disharmony, hatred killing and fighting or taking back the place of Syria in resistance and the wounded Yemen and Iraq the city of Islamic culture in his glorify history and the necessity to support the Muslim people in Myanmar and to stop the aggressive practices on this oppressed people.

12- The Ulimas call Muslims to insight the fact of the Israeli threat on all of them and the consequences on their countries as well as the future of their children.

13- Based on what our brothers in African continent call the present in this conference especially who works in Islamic “da’wa” and facing the Zionism to take care of the Islamic people in Africa to involve them in this holy battle against Zionism.

14- The conferees insist on the importance of building an Islamic center concerned in exposing the hidden aggressive plans of the Zionist conspiracy and to spread his research on all ulemas across the Muslim world through media.

15- the Lebanese resistance ulema headed by Hezbollah and the Palestinian resistance represented by Hamas and Islamic jihad and all resistant Palestinian sects and prays for all martyrs and insist that all ulema of the umma to back them together in one line affecting the Israel aggression and stress on the necessity of supporting this resistance until achieving the divine victory.

The conference discussed the status of the Muslim nation in the height of Islamic principles and aspired interests for this nation, which was described by God Almighty in his saying {You [true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad and his Sunnah are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma'ruf and forbid Al-Munkar, and you believe in Allah.}

The conferees emphasized the Palestinian cause “the demise of Israel, a Quranic truth and a historic certainty” in order to provide solutions and contributions that will lead to unity between Muslims, and their assembly for the sake of Palestine, and mobilize the nation to stand against Israel, while believing that victory is certain and the demise of Israel is indeed a Qur'anic truth and a Qur'anic certainty, and Right will defeat Wrong when the people who believe in right will fight for it and they fight with all their hearts. The conferees insist that their gathering be considered a voice to correct the path and redirect the Islamic Ummah to the road to dignity and greatness.
