“When the time for the fulfillment of the first of the two warnings came, We sent against you some servants of Ours, possessed of great might in war, and they penetrated into your houses, and it was a warning that was bound to be fulfilled. Then We gave you back the power against them, and aided you with wealth and children and made you larger in numbers. Now, if you do good, you will do good to your own souls; but if you do evil, the punishment will be for yourselves. And when the time for the fulfillment of the latter warning comes, We shall raise a people against you who will disgrace you and will enter the Mosque, as they entered it the first time, and they will destroy utterly all that they conquer. It may be that your Lord will have mercy on you; but if you return to mischief, We too will return to punishment. And We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers.”

Following the Roman Empire’s conversion to Christianity under Emperor Constantine, the land of Judah came under Christian control until it was conquered by the Muslims during the time of Hazrat Umar (ra). Unlike the devastation wrought by Nebuchadnezzar and Titus, Hazrat Umar (ra) treated the inhabitants of Jerusalem with unparalleled kindness and respect, preserving the sanctity of the Temple of Solomon.

The land of Palestine remained under Muslim control for nearly 1,350 years, with the brief exception of 92 years during the Crusades. In recent times, the land has once again fallen into the hands of the Jews, and a new Jewish state has been established. Hazrat Musleh Mauood (ra) emphasized that, according to the prophecy in the Zabur and the Qur’an, the holy land cannot remain in the hands of those who are not pious and righteous in the sight of Allah. It will always be inherited by the righteous servants of Allah. This current phase is temporary, and the land is destined to be won back by the true, righteous servants of Allah.

Sadr Majlis Ansarullah chose the phrase عبادی الصالحون as the motto for the Majlis, recognizing its profound relevance in the current global context. Hazrat Amirul Momineen (aba) also urged the Jamaat to deeply reflect on the commentary of these Qur’anic verses.

The key takeaway for each of us is that to achieve victory in the holy land of Palestine and globally, we must strive to become humble, righteous servants of Allah. This is the only path to true success and triumph. As Ansarullah, the helpers in the cause of Allah, it is imperative that we dedicate ourselves to becoming the righteous servants of Allah who are destined to inherit the land.

In light of the current global situation, which has grown increasingly dire, we must pray earnestly. The conflict in Palestine has simmered for decades, always threatening to engulf not only the region but potentially the entire world. Hazrat Amirul Momineen (aba) has consistently warned that if this conflict spirals out of control, it could have devastating consequences for the entire world. Today, we see the warnings of the Imam of the age coming to fruition as the world teeters on the brink of catastrophe. Therefore, it is crucial that we heed his guidance and strive to become righteous servants of Allah, committed to peaceful resolution and non-violence, even in the most challenging circumstances.
