Muslim Ummah Must Unite for Palestine (2025)

No single Muslim country except Iran and their affiliates is doing anything to actually fight against the U.S.-Israel Axis of Evil and Genocide. Sunnis, Quranists, Ahmediyyas, Sufis, any other group that considers itself affiliated with Islam must all gather together as a united front against Israel and their supporters in every way. We should not disparage one another or even “have a bad opinion about the Ummah” because everything is in Allah’s hands and nothing happens without His will. But we are commanded not to be divided.

And hold firmly to the rope of Allāh all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allāh upon you – when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allāh make clear to you His verses that you may be guided. (Aal-e-Imran 3:103)

We are responsible for our own deeds and Allah is watching us, regardless if we are Muslim or not. But Muslims are held accountable for whether or not we helped our brothers and sisters in any way we can. So we must cast aside our differences in this critical moment in time when all the evil ones are being exposed, regardless of religious “affiliation” and we will be judged by what we actually did. It is the time of dividing between people, the guardians of what is good vs the violators.

And obey Allāh and His Messenger, and do not dispute and [thus] lose courage and [then] your strength would depart; and be patient. Indeed, Allāh is with the patient. (Al-Anfal 8:46)

We can help by speaking out in any way possible, supporting Palestinians with donations or other help, calling government officials, organizing embargoes and boycotts, sending messages and protest against all those complicit especially weapons manufacturers and other war profiteers such as Elbit Systems and others listed below.

Who Is Our Enemy? Whoever Supports Oppression, Persecution, and Murder without Right (extrajudicial)

Our fight is ultimately against Satan and his followers. To make it easier, the satanic forces are doing it all in the open.

And thus We have placed within every city the greatest of its criminals to conspire therein. But they conspire not except against themselves, and they perceive [it] not. (Al-An’am 6:123)

And some of their run-of-the-mill criminals are openly incriminating themselves too because they’re never held accountable. This is what Israel stands for.

Also we are exhorted by the Almighty to struggle in His cause, including to fight those who do the things mentioned above. “Knowing your enemies” means seeing their actions. Who is supporting this? If we cannot go to battle literally, which a majority of Muslims are not even geographically in a position to do, we can get the same reward from Allah for finding ways to boycott, protest, or otherwise stand against (even in words or on social media) those who commit these atrocities in Palestine and elsewhere, such as Sudan, being literally funded and encouraged by Mohammad bin Zayed of the UAE, and thus he is literally the enemy of Allah, His angels, and all humanity.

And those who disbelieved are allies of one another. If you do not do so [i.e., ally yourselves with other believers], there will be fitnah [i.e., disbelief and oppression] on earth and great corruption. (Al-Anfal 8:73)

Wow. This aya from 8:73 literally describes the modern world: “kufr and oppression on earth and great corruption.” So what can we do? We can object to the war profiteers in any way we can think of: speaking out, protesting, passing out leaflets or printouts on the subject —not long, even a few words like “stop arming Israel” and mention a company near you or one the ones with an asterisk.

The quote below is from a European site that affects many outside the U.S.:

From 2019 to 2023, six of the world’s largest arms producers –Boeing, General Dynamics, Leonardo, Lockheed Martin, RTX, and Rolls-Royce– have sold weapons or weapon systems to Israel. French bank BNP Paribas is by far the largest finance provider to companies that have sold weapons to Israel, having provided 5.7 billion EUR in loans and underwritings since 2021. Other large investors identified by the report include the banks Crédit Agricole, Deutsche Bank, Barclays and UBS, as well as the Norwegian government pension fund GFPG and the insurance company Allianz.

With corrupt Boeing involved, some of these systems may have inherent flaws causing them to malfunction, as happened with their airplanes and spacecraft. Unless they focus more on weapons but don’t care about products relating to civilians.

PaxforPeace website gives extensive information and details on who supplies both weapons and other military equipment as well as “dual-use” items that function for military and civilian use, but sold for military use without being specified as such and is worth looking at. The list below is from the American Friends Service Committee, a group that promotes peace. If we don’t have investments in such companies, students can protest and publicize their universities’ investments in the genocide, calling on them to divest from them (ie stop investing in such companies). The general public can also protest and publicize companies they want to divest from genocide-related contracts with Israel.

List of Companies Providing Weapons, Ammunition, and Related products to Support the Genocide

Other than that, we know the U.S. is a major supplier. Here is a comprehensive list compiled by the Friends (AFSC) with details of all companies that send or sent weapons to Israel during the ongoing genocide and its atrocities. These include from anywhere including Israel. I included some from Israel but not all, so there are maybe about 15-20 of those not included since we can’t do much about them unless they use foreign manufacturers. Also the statement below is from the website.

Companies marked with (*) are included inour divestment list. The list below is not intended to be used as either a divestment list or a boycott list, as it includes many privately-owned companies as well as companies with a very minor or one-time involvement.

This website shows how complicit they are in war crimes in details.

However, some commercial cargo airlines have been repeatedlydocumentedat the Israeli Nevatim Air Force base, having arrived from the Dover, McGuire, and Tinker Airbases in the U.S., Al-Udeid Airbase in Qatar, and Sigonella Naval Air Station in Italy.

The purpose of all this is to encourage Muslims to understand just how much help Israel is being given from the West and how extensive their networks are. These companies can be subject to divestment in order to avoid complicity in the genocide of Palestinians.

We need to understand that all these companies listed are complicit in the genocide of civilians in Gaza and the occupied territories — it’s not about Hamas, it’s about extermination of an entire people. The majority of victims are Muslim, yet Muslims are either unable to help due to their corrupt leaders who maintain torture prisons, overwhelmed with their own problems, or apathetic, and some among the rich are unwilling to help. All these companies can’t say they don’t know. Many of them proudly announce their role in supporting Israel and their genocide.

And it’s easy for them to make money on genocide with impunity because the U.S. will always cover for them. And Muslims are largely silent or suppressed. This is because the leaders of many so-called Muslim countries are complicit in genocide by a total absence of any effort to help their fellow Muslims. Because the leaders are tyrants and are NOT ACTUALLY MUSLIM. Case in point: Sisi of Egypt, MBZ (UAE) and MBS (Saudi Arabia) and their supporters.

To be a Muslim is not an identity one is born with; it’s a system of faith and trust one must study and follow, with the goal of piety and seeking Allah’s acceptance, guided by the Quran and Sunnah, to develop one’s morals and conscience. It’s also a test for humanity – if we turn away from Allah, the result is hellfire; if we turn towards Allah and give to those in need with whatever we have, and maintain salat/prayer/contact with Allah/God, we will have the unimaginably beautiful reward of the Garden of complete satisfaction and bliss.

Helping others in need or who are being oppressed is a surefire path to paradise, so imagine against this monolithic evil how great your reward will be!

In 2016 the U.S. and Israel signed a third 10-year Memorandum of Understanding covering the 2018-2028 period providing for $38 billion in military aid, $33 billion in grants to buy military equipment and $5 billion for missile defense systems. Israel received 69% of its military aid from the U.S. in the 2019-2023 period, according to a March fact sheet issued by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).

There are good people in every nation and community, even if the vast majority are bad. Allah knows all of us more than we know ourselves. We can’t all go to war but we can try to do something to help Palestinians, whose persecution is ongoing for more than 75 years. We are only asked to help according to our capability, and no one knows about our capability like the Omniscient. May Allah’s victory be near and come soon.
