Brothers and Sisters, I have been sad recently. Upon hearing the war for the 1st time(I know it has been going on for quite a while now but I didn't understand back then) on January, I've come across this guilt feeling. We all know that our brothers/sisters are being killed/tortured everyday by sense we should already be praying to them everyday. But shouldn't we be doing something better? Why not we go into Gaza and oppose those who wants to harm our brothers/sisters? Why not just end our life with "shaheed" for the sake of our brothers/sisters?
From now onwards, every time I switched a fan on I would be thinking "How do our brothers/sisters live in Gaza". Every time food is wasted in the canteen or on the table I would be thinking "Our own brothers/sisters died of starvation and they're wasting food?"...
Have you got any advice for me? I feel this pain and guilt everyday.

Al-Aqsa is in danger what should we do...
It is a deep pain and becomes even deeper when we discover that many of our own Ummah who live very close to Gaza are supporting The Zionists in keeping our Brothers and sisters captive.
It is a difficult battle and 60 years of armed fighting has only reduced the size of Palestinian land. It is time we found a way to fight without armed confrontation, as armed confrontation has only made life harder for the Palestinians.
The first battle we must fight is to unite the Ummah with a specific workable plan to help Palestine gain freedom. But, this is a very large battle as it seems very few of our Brother's and sisters in the region, have any concern for Gaza.
We may have to look beyond the Ummah and let the truth about Gaza become the force needed to turn public opinion against the Zionists.

It's also hard for me ... But I try to be patient. I know that for every single calamity they meet, they shall be rewarded by Allah SWT greatly--
You can try and find a charity that gives to Palestinians. Alternatively, you could go to Gaza yourself and help directly and personally. Although I don't think the Al Aqsa compound is in danger. I think there's more chance of the Israelis destroying the Wailing Wall then there is al Aqsa, as the repercussions would be huge.
Bro theres injustices happening against muslims all over the world, its natural to feel get upset or furious about them, everyday we're under attack whether its by military or by media, theres a limited amount we can do but that is obviously better than nothing
We can also spread truthfull information about situation in Gaza and other parts of Palestine both in our countries and internationally to people whose haven´t got it from any other sources than from those who support zionist media and ask them too to pressure leaders.
Also we can create contacts to Gazans and tell them we aren´t forget them but support them and make dua for them.
From Occupied Palestine:
We have suffered too much for too long. We will not accept apartheid masked as peace. We will settle for no less than our freedom.
I am earing every where I want and I would like to help Palestinians.
There an easy way to help them and we have to spread it among all muslims of the world.
Every one of you have to sponsor a Palestinian boy or palestinian girl, you will receive news and pictures of him or here and you will be directly involved in the Palestinian cause.
You have to tel that to your family , your relatives and others muslims at work at school.
It was a long time ago I was thinking about that, today I started.
I filed a form online to islamic rescue and , I commit to do it Insha allah all my life until I die.
I am going to give every month a certain amout to a little girl or boy every month to allow them to go to school, to eat and to by cloths.
No price to see a child Happy, we spend money every month for nothing, we can save a small amount and make a personn around the world happy.
What do you think ? I think our OUMMA can do that sacrifice around the world no ?
Nabiel I am sure every Muslim has the same feelings of pain and guilt regarding Gaza, but what I don't understand is the governments of some certain Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia and the other wealthy arab countries why are they too scared to help their Muslim brothers and sisters and protect them from the jewish so called state of Israel and why are they giving money and oil to the westerns such as the USA ? If USA and other Kuffar countries are giving support to the fake country Israel why can't the wealthy Arab countries help Palestine military and through other ways.
May Allah protect our Muslim brothers & sisters in Palestine Ameeen
I share your guilt that I have not done anything about this. I am lost in my own life and I am thinking about it all now ... it all boils down to our misplaced hierarchy of needs ..... the dreams that we build are mere delusions. We should live like a flower floating on the river and go where ever fate takes it. That being said I am gonna read up in more detail what is Islamically required of me when the followers of Muhammad (saw) are attacked ...
Help me to escape from this existence
I yearn for an answer... can you help me?
I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
In somnolent illusion... I'm paralyzed

I feel pity for these regimes and scholars-4-dollars. With the blessing of oil that Muslim countries have had, if they had an iota of sense and love for Allah, we would well be on our way of creating a unique society dedicated to the discovery of scientific knowledge, Islamic justice and economy by depending on these natural resources. But no, what we rather did? We bought mansions, cars, skyscrapers, fake-islands from that money, skinnier and tighter clothes, and love for dunya ... Allah gave us a chance to repeat history after the fall of Ottomans in 1924 but we lost it .... Saudi oil reserves will finish up in next few decades. ... and with that, they will go back to their bedouin lifestyle .... unless some Mujadid comes along.

One more way to help brothers and sisters in Gaza is support they armed struggle against occupation. As we all know (or even should to know) resistance is legal for people whose are living under occupation (by Geneva Conventions).
If we can´t do anything else for helping them, we can always make dua for they mujaheds.

I'm all in favour of political progress, not military progress. I can see that if there is a successful peace process perpetuated by both Israelis and Palestinians, it could be like Ireland and Northern Ireland in 10/15 years. Military progress will result in nothing more than a few martydoms but ultimately making life even harder for the Palestinians.

That is real nice idea if both parties really would like to make peace and live together in peace. Unfortunately hard line zionists don´t want to live peace, not with Palestinians neither with they neighbor countries. Palestinians have negotiated with zionists for decades and are still at point zero. Why? Zionist confiscate all the time more and more land from Palestinians and create they illegal settlements and take lands of Palestinians to "closed military areas" in the West Bank.
Answer is very simple: zionists don´t want peace. They want Palestine without Palestinians and show they western supporters that they are ready to negotiate.
Political process is very good for zionists: by that they ensure that there will never been any kind of state of Palestine as any Palestinians haven´t any way to live on they tiny ghettos ´what zionists have left them.

Settlers Occupy a Palestinian Mountain In Nablus
Thursday February 04, 2010 13:50 by Saed Bannoura - IMEMC & Agencies
A group of right-wing, armed, Israeli settlers occupied a 500-Dunam Palestinian mountain south of Nablus city, in the northern part of the West Bank.
The settlers intend to create a new illegal settlement outpost on top of the Palestinian mountain.
Ghassan Dughlus, the official in charge of the file onsettlement in the West Bank, stated that the settlers illegally occupied the mountain and installed four mobile homes.
Douglas added that the settlers are trying to create an illegal outpost in an attempt to create the first basis for a new illegal Israeli settlement in the area.
Nablus, known for its mountains, became surrounded by illegal settlements and outposts that are largely installed on mountain tops.
I don't see how peace talks are going to do anything but stall the inevitable? Palestine wan'ts all of the same land that the Isreali's already inhabit. Both won't leave. Both think they are the rightful owners, both will stop at nothing to get what they wan't. I can't agree with all that Isreal's government is doing all the time, but Palestinian leaders aren't doing better either. See...neither side want's a peacefull coexistance...they wan't the land. So peace talks are always just moot points.
I hate to see this happening though. So much needless death, so many brothers and sisters fighting over land that most of them have forgotten the meaning of that place.
I would love to say I support Palestine...and I do to a certain extent...but i wouldn't be Christian if i wasn't supporting Isreal, and God's chosen people.(Well...according to our Bible).
