Islamic Sermons on Temple Mount,
Al Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem
These sermons are given under
the auspicies of the Palestinian Authority, by Sheikh Akrama Sabri, the
Yasser Arafat-supported mufti of Jerusalem and imam of the Al-Aqsa mosque.
Yasser Arafat chose the grandson of the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini
for this position.
Haj Amin al-Husseini was
the notorious Nazi who mixed Nazi propaganda and Islam. He wanted
for war crimes and the slaughter of Jews in Bosnia by Yugoslavia.
His mix of militant propagandizing Islam was an inspriation for both Yasser
Arafat and Saddam Husein: The Mufti was also a close relative of Yasser
Arafat. "Arafat's actual name was Abd al-Rahman abd al-Bauf Arafat al-Qud
al-Husseini. He shortened it to obscure his kinship with the notorious
Nazi and ex-Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Muhammed Amin al-Husseini." Howard
M. Sachar, A HISTORY OF ISRAEL (New York: Knopf, 1976). The Bet Agron
International Center in Jerusalem interviewed Arafat's brother and sister,
who described the Mufti as a cousin (family member) with tremendous influence
on young Yassir after the Mufti returned from Berlin to Cairo. Yasser Arafat
himself keeps his exact lineage and birthplace secret. Saddam Hussein
was raised in the house of his uncle Khayrallah Tulfah, who was a leader
in the Mufti's pro-Nazi coup in Iraq in May 1941.
"The meaning of true victory"
{Hizbullah is not Islamic},
Sermon Al-Aqsa Mosque, Friday, 2 June
2000
THE SOURCE provides the caveat:
"the English text is not an exact translation but is anapproximate summary
to the main points mentioned in the speech." NOTE: Speakers are Chairman
Arafat appointees or persons designated by his appointees.
QUOTES FROM TEXT:
"the imperialist disbelievers had implanted
two states in the heart of the Muslim world; one of them was the Jewish
state (Israel) and [the] other one was the Maronite Christian state (Lebanon).
The later is more intense (or equal in hatred) against Islam and Muslims."
"the Muslim fighters were used as a pressure
tool by the disbeliever Hafez al-Assad and the Americans behind him against
the Jews. Look how the leader of Hizbul'lah in his speech has praised
Hafez al-Assad. My God, Assad is opening his hands to the Jews and
he is still praising him !!"
"If the so called Hizbu'lah party claims to
be a genuine Islamic party then he should have an agenda based on Islam
and not based on the Syrian or the American agenda. The party shouldn't
talk about patriotism and `national unity'. He shouldn't make `national
unity' the standard by which he measures his actions. These are the nationalist
parties and definitely not the Islamic
parties."
EXCERPTS:
You know well that the imperialist disbelievers
had implanted two states in the heart of the Muslim World; one of them
was the Jewish State (Israel) and other one was the Maronite Christian
State (Lebanon). The later is even more intense (or equal in hatred) against
Islam and Muslims.
When the Jews pulled back from the South
many Muslims started to celebrate this event, for them it was a tremendous
victory. The Muslims guerilla had forced the Jews out of the
south but who will take over?
It is the Maronite State. ...
I heard and saw in the media heads of states
congratulate the Maronite ruler of Lebanon President Emile Lah'hood for
this "Victory". ...
The true victory is the victory of the
creed (The Victory of Islam) and not the victory of the individuals. ...
The first Muslims lived their lives to
see Islam being proclaimed over all other religions and concepts.
The True Victory will come when the Islamic
Khilafah State is established (Insha'Allah), when Islam is being proclaimed
again over all other religions and over all other ways of life. ...
Some politicians view this withdrawal as
victory to Israel because she managed to get rid of the pressure that was
imposed on her by the U.S. (using the Iranians and the Syrians). That pressure
could have been used against her in the negotiations with the Syrians.
Look how the Muslims fighters were used as a pressure tool by the disbeliever
Hafez al-Assad and the Americans behind him against the Jews. Look how
the leader of Hizbul'lah in his speech had praised Hafez al-Assad. My God,
Assad is opening his hands to the Jews and he is still praising him !!
Israel by accepting to give up some areas surrounding Jerusalem to the
Palestinians and by withdrawing from South Lebanon had managed to avoid
any pressure from the Americans that can be used against her.
In South Lebanon, the agents of the Israel
(the so called South Lebanese Army) was surprised by the Israeli withdrawal.
The Jews did not care for them....
If the so called Hizbul'lah party claims
to be a genuine Islamic party then he should have an agenda based on Islam
and not based on the Syrian or the American agenda. The party shouldn't
talk about patriotism and national unity. He shouldn't make "national unity"
the standard by which he measures his actions. These are the nationalist
parties and definitely not the Islamic parties. ... their work will be
utilized by the imperialist disbelievers against Islam and Muslims, and
against themselves.
"The vicious attack against Muslims",
Sermon Al-Aqsa Mosque, Friday 9 June 2000
IMRA NOTE: The presenter
is an appointee of Chairman Arafat or a designee of an appointee. in violation
of the Oslo agreement. Source note:"the English text is not an exact translation
but is an approximate summary to the main points mentioned in the speech".:
QUOTES FROM TEXT:
"The disbelievers ... encourage the rise of
nationalism, patriotism to keep Muslims divided .... The vicious war that
the disbelievers are waging against Muslims is mainly against their creed.
The disbelievers are carrying their creed (the separation between religion
and society) as an intellectual leadership that they want to keep implemented
in the Muslims societies and Muslims lives."
"There is no difference between the rulers
in Arabia, or Egypt, or Syria, or Pakistan, or Indonesia. All the rulers
in the Arab world are collaborating with the disbelievers"
EXCERPTS:
... the disbelievers headed by the imperialist
states are always trying to fulfill three objectives:
(1) They want to keep Muslims confined
within specific geographical entities
(2) They kill Muslims, and they force
them to implement their plans in order to keep controlling
them
(3) They force Muslims out of their lands
according to their malicious plans. ...
The disbelievers had declared a long lasting
war against us and against our deen. They had attacked Muslims, they had
stolen the Muslims wealth, and they are trying day and night to keep us
away from applying Islam in our lives. Look how they divided Muslims into
small states, and they imposed over them their agents. Look how they drew
the political borders between Muslims in a way to encourage fights between
themand in order to keep them divided. They encourage the rise of nationalism,
patriotism to keep Muslims divided and to keep them fight each other. The
vicious war that the disbelievers are waging against Muslims is mainly
against their creed. The disbelievers are carrying their creed (the separation
between religion and society) as an intellectual leadership that they want
to keep implemented in the Muslims societies and Muslims lives. They want
to get rid of Islam in our lives or to keep it as a spiritual feeling within
mosques or within individuals. ...
Our rulers had sold their deen for the
sake of their masters. There is no difference between the rulers in Arabia,
or Egypt, or Syria, or Pakistan, or Indonesia. All the rulers in the Muslim
world are collaborating with the disbelievers against our deen. They are
implementing the disbelievers creed in our societies (i.e. the separation
between Religion and State) under calls like Democracy, Globalization..
etc. Dear brothers, We all should be up to the challenge that is facing
us. We should stand up to carry Islam as a complete way of life and live
or die for the sake of Allah and his religion that he chosen for mankind
(i.e. Islam). We should fight the disbelievers and their agents...
We should plan and decide for ourselves
and not let others plan and decide for us. Let all of you know that only
by the establishment of the Islamic Khilafah State that this Ummah will
be able to stand up to the challenges and will enable her to apply Islam
and carry Islam to the rest of the world.
"Lebanon and Africa"
Sermon Al-Aqsa Mosque, Friday, 26 May 2000
QUOTES FROM TEXT:
"Once the Islamic state is established, the
current rulers will be prosecuted, some will flee to the West but the West
will not help them.. This is the end of every agent."
"the situation will go into reconciliation
between Israel and Syria. Syria is preparing for the new President `Bashar'
the son of Hafez Assad. For this reason Assad's regime killed Mahmood Alzo'by
the former prime minister of Syria claiming that he committed suicide."
"Western imperialist forces want the African
land empty from its people ... to exploit its resources freely. This is
the situation of the African continent, which is similar to most parts
of the world, under the rule of capitalism and ...disbelieving western
imperialist forces."
EXCERPTS:
Allah says "And incline not to those who
do wrong ... The Soldiers of the so called South Lebanon's Army had inclined
to the Jews but they were no helpers to them. The army collapsed even before
it was supposed to. They had run away and withdrew their forces even before
the Jewish army did so. They couldn't implement their plans to ignite a
sedition in the south. This should be a lesson to the rulers in the Muslim
world. ...
I want to talk about the lesson that the
rulers of the Muslim World should learn: What will happen to them when
the American, British, and French influence will be collapsed in the Muslim
world?
Once the Islamic State is established,
the current rulers will be prosecuted, some will flee to the West but the
West will not help them. This is the end of every agent. He will be kicked
and he will be neglected by his masters after he was being used out. Some
"Masters" will even try to
get rid of their agents in case they become
a "a threat to the national security". ...
We are all pleased that the Jews had withdrew
from South Lebanon. But Israel had warned that if one bullet was shot on
her border then she will hit ruthlessly against Syrian and Lebanese targets...
... the situation will go into reconciliation
between Israel and Syria. Syria is preparing for the new President "Bashar"
the son of Hafez Assad. For this reason Assads regime killed Mahmood Alzo'by
the former prime minister of Syria claiming that he committed suicide after
he was arrested with many other high officials for corruption. Hafez Assad
himself should be trialed because he is the head of this rotten regime.
He is the one who should be accused of corruption, how come he left Alzo'by
as a prime minister of Syria for 12 years? Where was the government during
all these days? Where was the head? ...
It is a well known fact that there is struggle
between the western imperialist forces over Africa, the rich virgin continent.
In Africa, the governments are agents and the masses are ignorant so the
West is using both to exploit the natural resources of the continent like
oil, diamond, and gold. Seralion is a diamond box that the western forces
(The U.S., Britain, and France) are fighting over. The same thing occurred
between Ethiopia and Ariteria but Israel is participating. Aforqy the ruler
of Ariteria mentioned it clearly in his talk with Deir Shpegel newspaper
yesterday that the fight is not over zalfanasia area but it is over the
oil rich lands in the borders with Ethiopa . We had read an article for
the WHO (World Health Organization) that talks about the wide spread of
AIDS in Africa, some reports talk about more than 80% of the inhabitants
in some areas are infected with this deadly disease. If we add to that
other wide spread deadly diseases and shortage of food and medicine then
we will deduce that the Western imperialist forces want the African land
empty from its people in order to able to exploit its resources freely.
This is the situation of the African continent , which is similar to most
parts of the world, under the rule of capitalism and the rule of the disbelieving
western imperialist forces .
As if history is repeating itself, the
situation of the world just before the emergence of the Islamic message
is similar to the situation of the world today where injustice is everywhere.
The world is in need to Islam to rule.
The world is in need to the Islamic Khilafah
State.
"How to liberate Jerusalem"
Sermon Al-Aqsa Mosque, Friday 19 May 2000,
Hijri 15-Safar- 1421
QUOTES FROM TEXT:
"This Mosque will not be entered {liberated}
through negotiations or peace agreement. This Mosque will be entered through
armies ... that will behead disbelievers and their agents."
"Jerusalem ... the capital of the Islamic
Khilafah State ... that will tread on the heads of Europe, Russia and the
U.S."
EXCERPTS:
Look at our rulers when they go to the
U.S. to ask for help, to ask for assistance. What does the U.S. reply?
It tells them to kneel down , pay, and accept the U.S. military bases.
It asks them to accept her influence, and to accept her dictations. Our
rulers tremble in front of her, and they submit.
They forget that if they ask Allah then
Allah orders them not to submit to the disbelievers, that they should apply
his laws solely, that they should not apply the laws of the disbelievers
no matter if its democracy, or Globalization, or Socialism. ...
Oh Muslims, The case of Jerusalem had reached
a very critical turning point: When the Jews in Stockholm had decided to
hand over some external neighborhoods of Jerusalem to the Palestinians
like Abu-Deis, Al'Ezariyya (Bethany), and Swahreih . . .then it means
one thing: They are tellings us that "We had given you too much and when
we allow you to go to al-Aqsa Mosque through a suggested tunnel then this
is an extra favor from our side". Do you believe that the Jews will give
you Jerusalem and al-Aqsa Mosque through negotiations? ...
This Mosque will not be entered through
negotiations or peace agreements. This Mosque will be entered (liberated)
through armies. The armies that will "pound the earth to powder" , that
will behead the heads of the disbelievers and their agents. Jerusalem will
return to Muslims but not through treason. It will return to Islam and
Muslims. It will not be the capital of the Palestinian state, but it will
be, Insha'Allah, the capital of the Islamic Khilafah State. The Islamic
Khilafah State that will tread on the heads of Europe, Russia and the U.S.
This is what Islam tell us, and this how history was. Read history if you
want and you will see wars after wars between Islam and the disbelievers
that will continue till the day of doom.
"The Pope's visit: A scheme against Muslims"
Sermon Al-Aqsa Mosque, Friday 31 March
2000
QUOTES FROM TEXT:
"The new Pope of today came and he was warning
the disbelievers of the return of the Muslims under the flag of the Prophet
Muhammad the return of the Islamic Khilafah State. This is what the
U.S., the Jews, and the corrupt rulers of Muslims are afraid of."
"today the so-called `official' Muslim scholars,
along with the rulers of the Muslim world, have bowed and kissed the hand
of the Pope, a great Satan."
EXCERPTS:
All the various disbelieving forces are
collaborating today to prevent the return of the Islamic Khilafah State.
They work day and night in order to uproot this idea from within the Muslims.
These disbelieving forces are using the secular ruling regimes in the Muslim
world along with the secular, nationalistic, and so-called democratic movements
in order to wage war against Islam and to prevent its return as the only
way of life for the Muslims and for the whole of mankind. ...
The new Pope of today came and he was warning
the disbelievers of the return of the Muslims under the flag of the Prophet
Muhammad , the return of the Islamic Khilafah State. This is what the U.S.,
the Jews, and the corrupt rulers of Muslims are afraid of. ...
...today the so-called 'official' Muslim
scholars, along with the rulers of the Muslim world, have bowed and kissed
the hands of the Pope, a great Satan.
This Pope came to plot a scheme in order
to prevent the return of Jerusalem to Muslims. He came to wage war against
Muslims and against the work to re-establish this deen (al-Islam) in the
lives of the Muslims and prevent it from becoming the life and system for
the whole of mankind.
