Even so, I am expanding my advice even further, and I say: be careful not to retreat from fighting the enemies of Allah, even if the fighters are not believers. I was horrified when I read about the words of some hasty people who lacked awareness of reality and were not skilled in examining the intentions of the Sharī‘a (مقاصد الشريعة) and all that it calls for in terms of implementing interests (benefits) and goals. How could they oppose the common people who are confronting the Jews after their desecration of the Aqsa Mosque? How could they discourage or prevent the common people from those confrontations, claiming that these confrontations have nothing to do with religion, even though not all of those who are fighting the Jews are believers, and some may even be infidels? However, this should not deter us from supporting their cause, as the goal is to defend Islam, not to promote any particular religious group.

What knowledge has led astray the one who calls for the relief of the crimes of the Jews with such claims? Wether these people like or not like what I am saying, however, how long will these preachers remain immersed in this negativity and indifference, at a time when they should be exploiting such confrontations, even marching in the Battlefield, as well as the exploitation of those who collide with each other by secularists, esotericists, and other deviants? Doesn't awareness towards the way of criminals and the maturity in recognizing the reality of Muslims require us that if we do not participate, then we do not stand in the way of such confrontations and not be an obstacle in these battles? Aren't these confrontations a reason for these people to return to religion, regardless of their condition, while around the globe this act is interpreted as anger for the blessed Aqsa and considered as an uprising for sanctities? This informs the whole world, and especially the enemies of Allah, the Jews, that the price of violating the sanctity of Muslims is very high and will bear fruit, even if after a while, to unmask the way of criminals. Or, isn't awareness about the conspiracies of the enemies of this religion and their gathering to fight its members something that could result in the return of these people to the religion?

Where is the awareness of the reality of Muslims and the recognition of the ramifications of their duties at this time, which requires great wisdom and a decent point of view in dealing with events? Where do these people stand in relation to the broad jurisprudence of the Almighty's words?:

“Those who have been expelled from their homes unjustly only because they said: "Our Lord is Allâh." For had it not been that Allâh checks one set of people by means of another, monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, wherein the Name of Allâh is mentioned much would surely have been pulled down. Verily, Allâh will help those who help His (Cause). Truly, Allâh is All-Strong, All-Mighty.” Qur'an, 22:40

So, what is the motive that led these inexperienced youths to betray and hinder such confrontations and defenses? Are they really giving advice to their relatives? Indeed, this phenomenon comes without abandoning them, not underestimating the status and the blood that was shed among them, nor betraying the Muslims. It also comes without the presence of negative preachers in such places who are indifferent to the conspiracies of the Jews and their violations of sanctity and attacks on the Muslims. And if there are unbelievers or renegades among those who confront them, what harm is it to the Muslims if the unbelievers become angry with their sanctity or kill the murteddun—those who are “affiliated” (محسوب) to Islam? What interest is there in repulsing and discouraging them from such a war, except to approve the attention of the Jews and their tails by the tyrannical rulers and the enemies of this religion? Didn't the Prophet ﷺ say that Allah supports this religion with people who have no share of goodness in the next world (لا خلاق لهم)?
