[1] Evaluating the Zionists’ Claimed Right of Ownership of the Sacred Land
In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
Allah [The Exalted] said:
وَلَقَدۡ ڪَتَبۡنَا فِى ٱلزَّبُورِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلذِّكۡرِ أَنَّ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِىَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحُونَ
And indeed We have written in Zabur and after (We have already written in the) Dhikr that My righteous servants shall inherit the land. [Surah Al-Anbiya. Ayah 105]
Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated: The word Zabur in this Ayah means all the revealed books and does not specifically mean the Zabur that was given to (Prophet) Dawud [peace be upon him]. The word Adh-Dhikr in this Ayah is the Ummul Kitaab that is with Allah [i.e. the Lawh Al-Mahfooz], the word Al-Ard in this Ayah means the Dunyah and the righteous servants mean the Ummah of Muhammad [peace be upon him]. This Ayah is one of the signs of the Prophethood of Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] because he conveyed this (affair) at Makkah, while all the people of Makkah were unbelievers, enemies to him and his companions, and the Mushrikoon had expelled them from their homeland (Makkah) and their dwellings.
The word Dhikr has been mentioned in reference to the Kitaab in the statement of the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] in a hadith reported by Imaam Al-Bukhari and Muslim that: “There was Allah and nothing else before Him and His Throne was over the water, and He then created the Heavens and the Earth and wrote everything in the Dhikr [The Book].” [Saheeh al-Bukhari. Number 7418]
This is the Dhikr [The Book] in which was written that the earth will be inherited by the Ummah of Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him], and the revealed books have been referred to as Zubur in the statement of Allah:
وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالاً۬ نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيۡہِمۡۚ فَسۡـَٔلُوٓاْ أَهۡلَ ٱلذِّكۡرِ إِن كُنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ
بِٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِ وَٱلزُّبُرِۗ
And We sent not (as Our Messengers) before you (O Muhammad ) any but men, whom We inspired, (to preach and invite mankind to believe in the Oneness of Allah). So ask of those who know the Scripture [learned men of the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)], if you know not. [بِٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِ وَٱلزُّبُرِۗ – with clear signs and Books]. [Surah An-Nahl. Ayaat 43-44] [1]
Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saalih Al-Uthaymeen [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated: Based on this, for example, the land of the Arabs is not for the Arabs, the land of the Persians is not for the Persians, and the land of the Romans is not for the Romans (i.e. Allah can give it to others). The land belongs to Allah and He gives it as a heritage to whom He will, and they are the righteous servants who believe and do righteous deeds. Whoever disbelieves in Allah and is too proud to obey Him has no right to the land. Allah gives it as a heritage to whomever He wills of the righteous servants. Based on this, if the children of Israel said, “The land of Shaam is ours because Musa [peace be upon him] said: [يَا قَوْمِ ادْخُلُوا الْأَرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ الَّتِي كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ – O my people! Enter the holy land (Palestine) which Allah has assigned to you], we say: Indeed, Musa [peace be upon him] said this because at that time you were righteous people and the righteous servants of Allah, and the earth belongs to Allah Who gives it as a heritage to whomever He wishes from among His righteous servants. However, after the advent of Islam and you disbelieved in it, you became unworthy of (this inheritance), and the righteous and believers in Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him]- those who follow him – became its inheritors.
Prior to when the Muslims were expelled (from this inherited land), it was occupied by the Roman Christians (who inherited it from) the Jews because they were the righteous after the Jews; then the Muslims occupied it after them because they are the righteous servants of Allah. So, the land of Shaam was written as an inheritance for the righteous (as Allah said): [وَلَقَدۡ ڪَتَبۡنَا فِى ٱلزَّبُورِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلذِّكۡرِ أَنَّ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِىَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحُونَ – And indeed We have written in Zabur and after (We have already written in) Dhikr that My righteous servants shall inherit the land].
Due to this, the Children of Israel (inherited the land from) those people in the sacred land who had great strength because they were upon the truth; then the Christians inherited it from the Jews because they were the people of truth, then the Muslims inherited it from the Christians because they are the people of truth. Based on this, the Yahood at present have no (specific) right to Palestine or any other part of Allah’s earth. Therefore, if the Muslims become righteous and return to their true religion, through which Allah will grant them the heritage of their land, they will regain the land.
وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ
Allah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth, as He granted it to those before them…[Surah An-Nur. Ayah 55]
We are certain that if the Muslims – at present- truly return to the religion ordained by Allah through (sound) faith and righteous deeds, they will expel the Yahood from Shaam (i.e. from the stolen land). We say this with certainty. But as long as the Muslims remain in this situation, then indeed based on what the principles of the Shariah and the sacred texts imply, they are not worthy (of taking this land back) because they have not undertaken Jihad against their own selves (i.e. adherence to the religion) let alone (expecting successful) Jihad against others. Establish Islam among yourselves, establish among yourselves the religion ordained by Allah, then after that, Allah will aid His religion because Allah will not support so-and-so because he is so-and-so, or support this party because they are Arabs or support that party because they are so-and-so. He aids the one who establishes this religion (of Islam properly). Was Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi [may Allah have mercy upon him] of Arab by descent? He is not Arab, but Allah aided him against the Christians because he established the religion ordained by Allah.
If one does not believe (as he should), he will never be able to achieve victory. If there is no faith, people will be left with weaponry, and whoever is stronger will win. It is known that Muslims are the weakest nation at the present time, splintered, and scattered, and enmity and hatred are rife between them. This one calls for such-and-such, and that one calls for such-and-such, and this one has a specific path as an ally to the unbelievers. [Footnote a] They are all divided. Indeed, Allah says: [إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَرَّقُوا دِينَهُمْ وَكَانُوا شِيَعًا لَّسْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ – Verily, those who divide their religion and break up into sects (all kinds of religious sects), you (O Muhammad ) have no concern in them in the least. [Surah Al-An’aam. Ayah 159]
The fundamental and most important thing is that this promise made by Allah is true (without a doubt), but to whom? (It is for) those who (truly) believe and do righteous deeds, and they are the righteous servants of Allah, as Allah says about them: [وَلَقَدۡ ڪَتَبۡنَا فِى ٱلزَّبُورِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلذِّكۡرِ أَنَّ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِىَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحُونَ – And indeed We have written in Zabur and after (We have already written in) Dhikr that My righteous servants shall inherit the land].
If those who are striving against the Yahood at present were to say (i.e. with firm belief and honesty), “We will expel the Yahood (from our land) and reside on this sacred land, establish an Islamic state on it that will lead the people based on the religion ordained by Allah – through Allah’s Book (i.e. the Qur’an) and the Sunnah of His Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him]”, then they represent (or act upon) that themselves before they conquer this land, we are certain of victory for them. Besides this, victory is not guaranteed; rather, it may be, on the contrary, that defeat is inevitable because whoever does something and strives based on what is contrary to it, this is one of the ways through which Allah allows a person to fall into self-deception (as a recompense for their wilfully chosen disobedience or misguidance).

They have been advised by the likes of Imaam Al-Albaani [may Allah have mercy upon him] to safeguard the blood and honour of the Palestinians.

Finally: Even though the elder rulers, the Salafi Scholars, and their upright students continue to condemn and rebut the lies of the oppressive Zionists, the Yahood far-right, as well as the hostile American Evangelists who support the Zionists, however, neither are we upon the path of Hamas nor ISIS nor ISIS. We do not attack anyone who has not attacked us physically, rather, we fulfill our obligations whilst living with non-Muslims. Read:
