Not a day goes by without a video of a persecuted and miserable person in Gaza appearing before us. When we see them, we come across another dimension of war. We realise that many epics are being written in Gaza. Sometimes we witness the dignified stance of a child, sometimes a doctor and sometimes a mother and a father who have lost all their relatives…
The other day I came across a video of an old lady. What marvellous lessons.
It was as if she was expressing the whole war, the suffering, what to do and how to learn from it all.
In the face of so much pain, sorrow and suffering, there is no rebellion, no blasphemy, there is submission and resignation. As I listened to her speech in this regard, I came to mind what Mehmet Görmez, the former President of Religious Affairs, said during the earthquake. “The hearts of earthquake victims are in the state of affectation. They are broken towards Allah and angry towards the state” he said. With these expressions, which are considered shirk in terms of religion and treason in terms of the state, he seemed to have forgotten submission and trust in Allah, as if he was inviting them to revolt. I would like Görmez to listen to the video of the old lady and draw a lesson from it:
“Number one: Allah is always Rahim (merciful). There is a thousand bombs. None. We are living very comfortable. Allah is still Rahim. So, when I see these things (the disastrous scenes in Gaza), I don’t say, “How can Allah allow this?” I’ll say, “Allah allows it for a reason. And Ya Allah, show me the reason or keep me strong. But don’t ever doubt the hikmah (wisdom) of Allah.
“Number two. You all need to read the seerah. This is the time where I need the seerah. Because you need to think of why this is happening to people of Gaza. What happened to the Sahaba in Bi’ri-Maune when 70 of the carriers of the huffadh of the Quran were killed? Aren’t these the closest people to RasoolAllah and to Allah? What happened in Uhud? Hamza (radhiyAllahu’anhu) was killed. Not only killed, (but also) mutilated. Can’t Allah is unable to save him or to give the Muslims victory after one year? Why twenty three years? Why the “fath” of Makkah the conqueror of Makkah, didn’t happen after three or four or seven or twelve? Twenty-three years! We need to think about it and understand it. So we need the prophetic biography. We must learn the life of the Prophet in the most perfect way…”
The old lady conveys patience, caution and timing with the most beautiful and striking expression. She states that the prescription is hidden in the life of the Prophet and that it should be read and understood…
This dignified stance of the Palestinians in particular has attracted the attention of the whole world. Hundreds of thousands of people are reading the Qur’an, examining it and learning Islam, asking how such a submission can be. Many of them also become Muslims.
On the other hand, those who comment on Gaza today open the door to imprudence and suicide by saying that there was nothing left for them to do, that they would have died one way or the other.
Unfortunately, we cannot give our young people the perfect view, exemplary stance, dignity, surrender and tawakkul towards their Lord that the old lady in Gaza had towards the events.
Blasphemy is one nation!
The siyar lessons (Prophetic biography) and history readings we give in our schools do not give lessons, do not make us think, do not develop the ability to analyse!
Is Islamic history taught properly in Islamic countries ruled by Western puppet administrators? If it had been given, would we have fallen into such pathetic situations?
Darüssaade Agha Süleyman Agha, who had great influence over the Sultan, had an interview with him before the Polish Expedition. At this time, Süleyman Agha asked him:
“Would the King of Poland come to counter the Sultan and would he have the power to do so?”
Mehmed Pasha:
“Let us be prepared by saying that he will come, if he comes, we will not find fault in our precautions. If not, the state belongs to the sultan, what we know will not be taken away from us.”
The agha was bored with this answer. He said harshly:
“We used to know that you were aware of the enemy at the battlefield, but you have no knowledge of the world. What kind of a dog is the King of Poland to stand against the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and how many soldiers he has?” Debbagzade Mehmed Pasha said:
“Your Highness! It is not right to despise and despise the enemy. All the enemies are like a nation. Nemçe, Moskov, Hungarian, maybe Spain and France and Pope and others, some with soldiers and some with goods, rush to help and protect the honour of religion among them.”
Despite this, Süleyman Ağa insisted on what he said:
“What good can come from the caution of such senile people?” and insulted Debbagzade.
Statesmen with the mentality of Süleyman Ağa would eventually inflict the most painful fate on Osman II Khan.
Those who know history should not have been surprised by the behaviour of the countries that they considered strategic partners for seventy-five years. They should have known that those they knew as friends could inflict the greatest pain on themselves as soon as they had the opportunity. We should not forget that what happened in Bosnia and Kosovo yesterday and the horrible massacres in Iraq, Syria, Libya and today in Palestine will hit our country in the future. Those who see Israel as a friend today should be ready for the blows they will receive in the future.
Oğuzhan Uğur and the theatre of history!
Social media phenomena can do in a single day what the National Education army has been unable to do for decades with perception operations. At the time of the earthquake, Oguzhan Ugur caused the work to stop with the cry of “the dam burst”, and there were citizens who lost their lives because of this. Their apologies afterwards did not bring back those who lost their lives.
During Israel’s attacks on Palestine, Oğuzhan Uğur invited Celal Şengör and İlber Ortaylı to his programme and asked them about age-old lies.
Celal Şengör was asked, “Did the Palestinians sell their land?”. Was Celal Şengör going to answer this question by analysing earth movements? You look at the question and the person asked, and you understand the questioner. It’s like going to a baker and showing him the fabric to see if a dress can be made out of it!
The other one doesn’t say I don’t know and ask Ortaylı what he thinks! He gives a vague answer by saying, “Ooooo, they have sold a large proportion”. If we were to show them the Palestinian documents from the Ottoman period, as if “they’d suppose a donkey if they saw the first letter of Arabic alphabet”, believe me, they would keep it upside down. But they are good at making judgements!
İlber Ortaylı also tries to support him by turning his head left and right. No documents, no information. Upon hearing the word “sold”, Uğur and his supporters give a standing ovation…
Why did I tell you this! Because those who control the social media made millions of people watch this interview.
Now, in universities and high schools, a considerable number of people say “they sold their land, get them deserve” about the Palestinians and grant Israel right.
The Ministry of National Education needs to wake up!… How are generations that follow a lie being raised? These need to be analysed.
Many decades have been wasted in national education, let’s wake up. Let’s stop dealing with technical issues and return to the origin!
REFLECTION
People’s morals have deteriorated so much that
As it has been told, events in history now seem like lies to us.
