بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
To the brave sons and daughters of this noble Ummah, and to the lions of the North African march to Gaza,
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.
We write to you today not as distant observers, but as one body, united by our shared belief, our pain for the oppressed, and our hope in the promise of Allah (swt). Your march toward Gaza carries not only your footsteps, but the hopes and prayers of the entire Ummah. You have chosen to rise while many have chosen comfort and you have chosen action while many have settled for words.
The world watches as the blood of Gaza flows. The children cry. The widows mourn. The houses are shattered. The Masjids are destroyed. The cries rise to the heavens. And while the tyrants sit in palaces and the hypocrites hold their tongues, YOU have risen! You have broken the chains of fear. You have stepped forward while the masses were held back. You are the living proof that this Ummah is not dead!
Know that your determination echoes the commands of Allah (swt) and His Messenger (ﷺ), who commanded us to support the oppressed, to stand firm against tyranny, and to never abandon our brothers and sisters under occupation and oppression. Your journey is not merely one of miles, but of honour, courage, and steadfastness.
Allah (swt) commands us:
"And fight them until there is no Fitnah (mischief), and total obedience becomes for Allah. So, if they cease, then, Allah is indeed watchful over what they do."
(Surah Al-Anfal 8:39)
You will face obstacles. You will face authorities who seek to block your path, who will pressure you to return, who will attempt to sow fear and despair into your hearts. But remember, the path to Allah (swt) is not for the weak-hearted. Victory is not granted to those who retreat when challenged. Victory is promised to those who remain steadfast, who cling to the Quran and Sunnah, who place their trust fully in Allah (swt). The hypocrites and the agents of the tyrants will try to stop you. They will stand in your way with empty words of “stability” and “law” while they themselves are complicit in the bloodshed of your brothers and sisters. They fear your march because it exposes their betrayal. They fear your unity because it shatters their illusion of control.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight you, and do not transgress. Verily, Allah does not like the transgressors.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:190)
This is not a time for words. This is not a time for negotiations or empty condemnations. This is the time for action, for sacrifice, for courage. The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with his tongue; if he cannot, then with his heart, and that is the weakest of faith.”
(Sahih Muslim)
You have chosen to change it with your hands! You have chosen the path of real iman!
The rulers will threaten you. The hypocrites will call you reckless. The agents of the oppressors will block your roads. But remember, these are the same rulers who have betrayed Allah (swt) and His Messenger ﷺ for decades. These are the same cowards who closed the borders while Gaza burned. These are the same hypocrites who made alliances with the Zionists while our brothers and sisters were slaughtered.
"Give the hypocrites the ‘good news’ that for them there is a painful punishment"
(Surah An-Nisa 4:138)
DO NOT TURN BACK.
DO NOT FEAR THEM.
FEAR ALLAH (SWT) ALONE!
"Surely, those who have declared: “Our Lord is Allah”, then remained steadfast, on them the angels will descend, saying, ‘Do not fear, and do not grieve; and be happy with the good news of the Jannah (Paradise) that you had been promised.’"
(Surah Fussilat 41:30)
O people of honour, do not turn back. Do not negotiate with oppression. Do not seek permission from those who have allied themselves with the enemies of Allah (swt). The earth belongs to Allah(swt). The borders they draw are false. The duty you carry is eternal.
"So fight, in the cause of Allah; you are not held responsible except for yourself. And encourage the believers [to join you] that perhaps Allah will restrain the [military] might of those who disbelieve. And Allah is greater in might and stronger in [exemplary] punishment."
(Surah An-Nisa 4:84)
Your journey is not a protest, it is a step in the revival of this Ummah’s honour, a slap in the face of every cowardly ruler who abandoned their duty while the blood of Gaza soaks the land.
March forward knowing that:
Every step you take is written as a good deed.
Every obstacle you overcome is a test that raises your ranks.
Every threat they make is powerless before the Qadr of Allah.
Every martyr among you is guaranteed Jannah.
Carry the flag of Islam and do not become weak. If they block the roads, find another path. If they close the borders, break them. If they threaten you, remind them that life and death are in the hands of Allah (swt) alone.
"Say, 'Never will we be struck except by what Allah has decreed for us; He is our protector.' And upon Allah let the believers rely."
(Surah At-Tawbah 9:51)
O Ummah! This is your hour.
To the Muslims in every land:
Rise up and support your brothers!
Break the borders with your numbers.
Overwhelm the tyrants with your unity.
Crush the cowardice of the munafiqs with your bravery.
"Indeed, Allah will support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might."
(Surah Al-Hajj 22:40)
Victory is near, by the permission of Allah (swt).
"And Allah did this solely to make it a good news for you, and so that your hearts may be at rest with it. Otherwise, victory is from none but Allah, the All-Powerful, the All-Wise."
(Surah Aal-Imran 3:126)
"Except those who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah very much, and defend themselves after they are wronged. And the wrongdoers will soon know to which place they are going to return."
(Surah Ash-Shu'ara 26:227)
The eyes of the Ummah are upon you. The hearts of the oppressed in Gaza pray for you. The cries of the martyrs reach the heavens, and Allah (swt) sees all that you endure for His sake.
Remain steadfast. Be patient. Have taqwa. Do not stop until you reach the gates of Gaza, or until Allah (swt) decrees otherwise. Let your march be a spark that revives the spirit of unity, bravery, and sacrifice in this Ummah.
May Allah protect you, strengthen you, and write your names among the righteous.
March forward, O Lions. Paradise lies beneath the shade of your determination.
