SO THIS IS what it’s come to.
After two years of brutal war, Trump has stepped forward with his so-called 20-point “peace plan” for Palestine. In reality, it’s a plan for total surrender—take it or leave it.
Or is it?
Certainly, one way of seeing this is as the complete capitulation of the Muslim world to the crusading superpower and its allies. The Muslim world has bowed its head, powerless and humiliated.
But as our Prophet ﷺ said: “War is deception.” It was true then, and it remains true now. This is about optics. It’s about psychology. And the West has mastered the art of deception.
So look deeper.
Despite the bombs. Despite the tanks. Despite the starvation, the mass graves, the daily slaughter of children… They still haven’t won.
They’ve dropped the equivalent of ten Hiroshimas onto a tiny strip of land. They’ve turned Gaza into an open-air graveyard. They’ve killed nearly a third of the population. They’ve erased entire families. And yet… they have not broken them.
These people, poor, wounded, surrounded, have something the enemy will never understand: iman.
And because of that, they stand unbroken.
This so-called peace plan? It is not a sign of strength. It is a cry of desperation. A face-saving lie from those who have failed—militarily, politically, morally, and spiritually.
They have lost.
Their carefully constructed lies, the propaganda of eternal Zionist victimhood, have collapsed. The world sees them now. Clearer than ever. And what they see is not a victim.
It is an oppressor.
Western nations are rushing to recognise Palestine—not out of love or compassion, but because they must. The tide has turned. Public opinion has shifted. Zionism is crumbling. The mask is off. And no matter what comes next, the world will not forget the genocide they have committed. Nor will it forgive.
It reminds us of the story in the Qur’an—the boy and the tyrant king.
The boy dies. One by one, the believers are thrown into pits of fire. Burned alive. Their bodies turn to ash. How is that a victory?
But then, at the very end, a woman hesitates, clutching her baby. And the infant speaks: “O Mother, endure! For you are on the Right Path.”
That’s the point. Success isn’t about surviving in this world. It’s not about power or land or politics. It’s about standing firm when the fire comes. It’s about what awaits in the life to come.
And our beloved, magnificent, brothers and sisters in Palestine, they have endured. With dignity. With courage. With unshakable iman. They have walked the Right Path—even if it meant walking to their deaths.
And what have they earned?
Martyrdom. Paradise. The pleasure of Allah.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتٌۭ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ
“Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the greatest triumph.” (al-Buruj, 11)
They have gained the greatest victory.
But what about us?
What about the rest of this Ummah?
Our leaders, may Allah deal with them as they deserve, have bent the knee. Every single one of them. They have accepted this filthy “peace” plan. Not out of ignorance, but out of cowardice. With their heads lowered and their dignity gone, they have betrayed the blood of the martyrs and the ummah as a whole. They are worse than animals.
And their betrayal will not be forgotten.
Victory is coming.
Allah has warned us:
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَن يَرْتَدَّ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِهِۦ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِى ٱللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍۢ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُۥٓ أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ يُجَـٰهِدُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ لَوْمَةَ لَآئِمٍۢ
“O you who believe! Whoever among you turns away from his religion, Allah will bring forth a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble with the believers, powerful against the disbelievers, striving in the way of Allah, and not fearing the blame of the blamers…” (al-Ma’idah, 54)
So this is not the end. This is not a time to despair. This is the time to rise. To replace those who have turned their backs on this Deen with those who love Allah.
It is time to double down. To rip off the shackles of nationalism, liberalism, capitalism, and every other ‘ism’. To cast out these sell-outs and impostors who claim to lead us. To unite on Islam and restore the righteous Khilafah, and bring back the Islamic way of life.
We were never promised ease. But we were promised victory. So hold fast.
Because this Ummah will rise again, and then, very soon, Palestine will be free.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “There will be Prophethood for as long as Allah wills it to be, then He will remove it when He wills. Then there will be Khilafah on the Prophetic method and it will be for as long as Allah wills. Then He will remove it when He wills, then there will be biting rule for as long as Allah Wills, then He will remove it when He wills. Then there will be oppressive rule for as long as Allah wills, then he will remove it when He wills. And then there will be Khilafah upon the Prophetic method.’ Then he ﷺ was silent.” (Ahmad)
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “This matter (the khilafah) will be after me in Madinah, then in Al-Sham, then in the Peninsula, then in Iraq, then in the City, then in Bait ul-Maqdis. If it is in Bait ul-Maqdis, its home country is there, and no one will be able to remove it, so it will return to them forever. (ibn Asakir)
