End Israeli War Crimes




During the nights, Salah-Ad-Deen Al Ayyubi used to walk around his soldiers' tents on the hills of Hittin. If he saw that even one of the tents were dark and silent from inside (meaning the soldier was sleeping instead of praying Qiyam al Layl) he would say, "We are not ready yet."


Salah-Ad-Deen believed that the army would be defeated if they did not pray Qiyam al Layl. 

The night when he noticed all the tents were illuminated and the soldiers were reciting the Qur'an instead of sleeping, he said, "Now victory will come to us."

This is when Sala-Ad-Deen made his march upon Al-Quds. 

Dear Palestine, 
You are not the problem. 
We are not righteous and spiritually strong. 
We see the shells that float your skies. The tanks that crush your homes. 
We see the desolation in your eyes and fetid torment in your bones. 
We are repulsed, we talk, we yell loud and sometimes we even cry. 
Then we turn off the light,
Go to bed
And have a good night. 
You deserved better! 
You deserve that we pray 
Qiyam al Layl 
every night before Allah 
until peace comes to you. 

Jafar ibnu Zayd said that when they conquered Kabul, Afghanistan, Sila ibnu Aiysham pulled away in the night from the camps to pray Qiyam al Layl. He was reciting in his salah with such khushu' that Jafar followed him, climbed up a tree and listened to him for a long part of the night. A lion appeared and roared at Sila. It started walking around him as if it was going to pounce and eat him immediately. Sila continued with his Qiyaam but gestured at the lion with his finger, as if to direct the lion to go away. And indeed the lion left him alone. Such is the protection of Allah, when you engage with Him, He does not allow anyone to harm you. 



Ya Allah! Ya Faatah, Ya Qawwi, Ya Mut’aal! Your Protection is Mighty and Your Praise is Great. There is no true deity except You. Lord of the seven Heavens and Lord of the Magnificent Throne, Protect the people of Palestine from Israeli onslaught.

Ya Allah!  Ya Jabbaar, Ya Qaadir, Ya Qaahaar, Ya Mutakabir, Ya Mukhtadir! Help the Palestinians against those who wrong them and take revenge for them.

Ya Allah! Ya Haafidh! Ya Mateen! Ya Mujeeb! Ya Kareem! Ya Azeez! Ya Lateef! Indeed I give my brothers and sisters in Your Refuge. I place them before You.

Ya Allah! Ya Wali! Make a shield for them and suffice them. 

Aameen.
