Our martyrs are in Paradise and their killers are in Hell

I am writing these words while I am on the threshold of the city of God, Mecca, where the ancient house is located, and the place from where Messenger of God departed on his night journey to Jerusalem, and the safe place where God’s Prophet Abraham left his wife Hajar and her son, the Prophet Ismail. {(Recall) when Ibrahim said, “My Lord, make this a city of peace, and provide its people with fruits} [Surah al-Baqara: 126].

On the outskirts of the city where the revelation of the first drops of love descended, a new religion calling for tolerance and justice, a religion that educates humanity on love, the news of the martyrdom of our soldiers among the border guards at the hands of treachery and terrorism shocks me, as they were taken by surprise while fasting.

A strategy has been pursued by organizations that hide behind the banner of Islam, which is innocent of it. You remember the martyrs of the first Rafah massacre were fasting as well. Can we say with a full mouth that our martyrs are in Paradise, God willing, and their killers are in the fire of Hell? Yes, we can, for treachery is not one of the values of Islam. By God, who there is no deity but Him, they are not Muslims. This was said by the founder of their group, Hassan al-Banna, in incidents much less criminal than those. Let alone these crimes for which the children are going gray. But we will not kneel and we will not tolerate them this time. Enough is enough. The matter has reached a climax. We will resist with all our strength in defense of our country, our choices, and our revolution. The time has come to develop a new strategy to confront terrorism through a national council formed for this purpose. Our present concern is a regional war in every sense of the word, in which Turkey, Qatar and the international organization of the Brotherhood are participating in an attempt to bring Egypt to its knees and remove it from the equation of action in the Middle East using the tools of black terrorism. Therefore, the moment needs a different vision and a way to deal with it. The old ways are no longer valid for this kind of confrontation, and the start, as I said, is through the formation of a national council to combat the phenomenon of terrorism and religious extremism.

This requires a lengthy talk prepared to bear the features of a different strategic plan to meet the challenges of the moment. God have mercy on our martyrs and place them in Your vast gardens.
