::Ignorance is bliss?::

سُبۡحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَسۡرَىٰ بِعَبۡدِهِۦ لَيۡلاً۬ مِّنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ إِلَى ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡأَقۡصَا ٱلَّذِى بَـٰرَكۡنَ

ا حَوۡلَهُ ۥ لِنُرِيَهُ ۥ مِنۡ ءَايَـٰتِنَآ‌ۚ إِنَّهُ ۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡبَصِيرُ

"Glorified be He Who carried His servant by night from the Inviolable Place of Worship to the Far Distant place of worship the neighbourhood whereof We have blessed, that We might show him of Our tokens! Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Seer. "

[Al-Isra'; 17:1]

How concerned are we with the fate of those who ar

e in this land? Can we relate to them? or we are just too busy doing our job, moving on with our life, laughing with our family and friends?

NO, I don't know them, why should i care? Why must i think of them, i can even organised my life properly, struggling with my study, my workloads, my family problems, and bla bla bla. Isn't that sound familiar, it does even to me. I can't deny that. YES, definitely, IGNORANCE is a bliss. Not thinking of bad things is nice, not be bothered to think is also pleasing to this life.

But, did we know this hadith;

Maymunah Bint Sa'd (ra) relates that she asked the Prophet (saw), "O Messenger of Allah, inform us about Bayt Al-Maqdis (Jerusalem)". He said, "Visit it for prayer ". She further asked, "If one of us cannot visit it, what should we do"? He said, "If you cannot go for prayer then send some oil to be used for its lamps, will be as if he has prayed in it".

(Ahmad, Ibn Majah, Abu Dawud, Tabarani)

SubhanAllah, if we can't afford to visit, we need to send some oil to be used there, how much Rasulullah (pbuh) cared about this place. And now, can't we even help in any ways possible? We can't go there and free Palestine and Bayt Al-Maqdis, our jihad is not meant to be that way as we are not permitted to go there. But, is there really no other ways for us to help? REALLY?

Yunus Ibn Maysarah (r) relates that the Prophet (saw) said, "This matter (the Caliphate) will be after me in Madinah, then Al-Sham, then Al-Jazira, then Iraq, then in Madinah, then in Al-Quds (Jerusalem). If it is in Al-Quds, its home country is there, and if any people expel it, it will not return there forever".

(Ibn Asakir)

We want to see Allah being worship trough out this world again, inshaAllah. Therefore, we are fighting in bringing up the caliphate again. And as Rasulullah (pbuh) said, it will be in Al-Quds and no where else. Isn't this enough to prove how important this land is for us, Muslims?

Just to share a few things that I get in Palestine Mercy Mission yesterday. If other people, not even a Muslim is fighting for the sake of Palestine in the name of HUMAN RIGHT, isn't it even more crucial for us, Muslims to fight for our brothers and sisters there that had been violated for 57 years? Isn't that a solid reason to lend a helping hand?
