The problem in the reality of the Ummah lies in the extremely grave distortion in its relationship with the religion of Allah (Glory be to Him)—a relationship that should safeguard the entire Ummah. This deficiency extends even to the obligations, which are closely connected to preparing people psychologically and spiritually to fulfil their responsibilities, as these duties have been detached from their intended role. Prayer, for example, has been reduced to mere formality, severed from its role in restraining indecency and vice, in qualifying the individual to be drawn towards Allah (Glory be to Him), and in instilling its profound meanings, including the enduring essence of magnifying and glorifying Allah. It has been detached from its influence over a person's actions, concerns, and relationship with Allah, from being a driving force that inspires him to rise to his responsibilities and to live with practical uprightness. Instead, it has become a set of rituals performed in isolation from all broader considerations.

Similarly, fasting has been detached from the divine purpose expressed in the verse, {'so that you may become mindful of Allah'}. It has acquired other characteristics and become surrounded by secondary concerns far removed from its essential fruit.

All of this has had a serious and deeply problematic impact on the reality of the Ummah: At the educational and cultural levels, there is a serious deficiency in addressing this matter. Moreover, there is the corrupting and misleading satanic campaign waged by the enemies—termed 'soft war'—which specifically targets the Ummah in the very nature of its relationship with Allah's guidance, His teachings, and His religion. Its aim is to strip this relationship of its effectiveness, so that it no longer provides protection, strength, and defence for the Ummah—neither against the enemies' misguidance nor against the various forms of targeting they pursue, including soft warfare, hard warfare, or their broader schemes of corruption aimed at driving this Ummah towards perpetual misery and grave loss. This constitutes a very serious problem, indeed.

In reality, the human being requires continuous moral and spiritual nurturing due to the influences encountered in life. This is especially true in this age, as we face the most extensive and formidable satanic campaign—corrupting, misleading—in its resources, methods, scale, and technological reach, perhaps throughout history. Perhaps never before in human history—from the dawn of society until today— has there been such organised and technologically advanced activity by satanic forces aligned with Satan. These forces deploy immense resources, tools, and technologies to corrupt and mislead people, targeting the very psyche and essence of the human being. Their aim is to strip away and hollow out man's inner humanity, reducing him to a state resembling that of animals—devoid even of a sense of his own human worth. Such a reality has perhaps never existed before. This signifies that man is inherently in need of what provides him with spiritual and moral nurturing.

The methodology of spiritual cultivation embodied in fasting during the month of Ramadan is distinctive precisely because it operates through lived practice, not merely through verbal exhortation. Alongside reminders, there is the act of fasting itself—an action that disciplines the soul, trains a person in endurance, strengthens the will, cultivates patience, deepens commitment, and leaves a positive effect upon one's character.

The human being stands in need of ongoing spiritual purification. Prayer, for example, has been prescribed—five daily prayers, at fixed times throughout the day and night—because man requires what reminds him of Allah, draws him towards Allah, lifts him out of his heedlessness, and helps him purify his soul continuously.

For this reason, in the face of the events, challenges, and dangers that confront us—dangers that affect not only our lives in this world but also our future in the Hereafter—the matter is of the utmost seriousness: We must recognise our urgent and pressing need to approach this great obligation with conscious commitment, striving to make the most of the opportunity it offers. By the grace of Allah—through supplication and sincere devotion to Him—a person can attain immensely significant results.

We are in dire need to remedy our spiritual reality. When we reflect on the reality of the Muslim Ummah (the ummah of two billion persons), we observe that it suffers from weakness, from dispersion, and from alarming lack of awareness—to the extent that most of its members are completely devoid of awareness. There are also severe deficiencies in fulfilling its practical responsibilities, including the complete erasure of sacred and significant responsibilities from the priorities of the majority. In addition to that, there is submission and subservience to the enemies—and not just any enemies, but the allies of Satan, criminals, corrupt oppressors, and tyrants. The Ummah's state of suffering also extends to all aspects of life, resulting in a reality overwhelmed by crises, hardships, and problems at every turn. What is the root cause of such a state? It arises from a fundamental deficiency in the purification of souls, a lack of proper moral and spiritual cultivation, weakness in willpower, and a major deficiency in other vital aspects: awareness and insight, correct understanding of Allah's instructions and religion, and the all-encompassing connection to the guidance of Allah (Glory be to Him).

This is a very serious issue because the situation itself is a pressing one. The entire Ummah, across its various lands, peoples, and countries, is in a state of immense pressure that pushes it (even against its will) into deeply negative paths, as is the case with some people. Many of them—due to this harsh and oppressive reality, together with impactful challenges—are driven into the arms of the enemies, imagining that submission, surrender, obedience, and loyalty to them constitute the solution to this situation—one characterised by large-scale, massive, and comprehensive onslaught from the enemies. This includes, as we have mentioned, a corrupting and misleading satanic soft war; media pressure, an overwhelming flow of cultural and intellectual propaganda; and targeted efforts to corrupt and weaken people. Alongside this, there is another war through fearmongering, exaggeration, aggression, killing, tyranny, and psychological warfare. All this is aimed at pushing the Ummah into despair, psychological breakdown, and total defeat—leaving it with no choice but to completely surrender to its enemies.

As we have said, because the situation is pressing, it drives some into the embrace of the enemies, resulting in tremendous loss in this life and the Hereafter. For others, it leads them into a state of complete heedlessness, despair, and hopelessness, along with continued negligence and shortcoming in dealing with Allah's religion in a manner that offers no safeguard, thereby depriving them of the precious benefit of Allah's teachings, the Almighty. Indeed, some are determined to remain in a state of loss, confusion, and aimlessness, refusing to return sincerely to Allah's guidance or to trust in the solutions it offers and the protection it provides for the Ummah in both this life and the Hereafter. Thus, as we emphasised, we must give due attention to and properly address this matter.

The second foundational aspect with regard to the blessed month of Ramadan is that it is the month in which the Holy Quran was revealed, as Allah (Glory be to Him) says, {'Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed as guidance for mankind and as clear proofs of guidance and criterion'}. It is a blessed month, full of blessings, containing the night of Qadr, which is much better than a thousand months, and on which the Holy Quran was first revealed: Allah says, {'Indeed, We sent this down on the night of Qadr'}. He (the Almighty) also says, {'We have sent it down on a blessed night'}.

The Holy Quran is an immense blessing; it is the greatest blessing and the most sacred of all sanctities, and Allah has granted us a profound favour through it, especially as He has preserved it for all generations. In fact, this is a significant grace, as Allah (the Almighty) says, {'It is certainly We Who have sent down the Dhikr , and We will certainly preserve it'}. Indeed, this is a great blessing: Allah has preserved His Book for us, which contains His complete guidance; it is a light that illuminates our lives, by which we are guided to goodness, to maturity, salvation, success, and honour. Moreover, everything a person hopes for by his very nature—including goodness, success, salvation, and great triumph—is found within Allah's promises for the worldly life: victory, honour, and the good life as the fruit of following His guidance. The Holy Quran contains abundant promises of blessings, goodness, and many other matters. This is in addition to what Allah has promised in the Hereafter, for the human being's eternal, everlasting, and highly significant future, including Jannah, Allah's pleasure, a magnificent life, supreme victory, and immense bliss, the details of which are set forth in the Holy Quran. This also involves the deliverance from Allah's torment, protection from misery in this life, and from safety from the eternal punishment in the Hereafter (May Allah forbid).

The Holy Quran is an immense blessing, and Allah has made it, as He says, {'guidance for mankind '}. For this reason, it is guidance for every age and every era, no matter the circumstances or challenges faced. It is not confined to a particular time, nor restricted to a specific historical phase, nor limited, for example, to the inhabitants of Madinah in the first Hijri century. Rather, it is {'guidance for mankind '}—extending across all times, all lands, and every circumstance, in all its diversity. It is a comprehensive and complete guidance, encompassing everything in which people need the guidance of Allah (Glory be to Him). It also contains {'clear proofs of guidance and criterion'}. Therefore, we must truly recognise this essential reality: We are in need of divine guidance.

The condition of Muslims today, characterised by a deficiency in awareness and confusion in many of their affairs, has reached a point where some of them, in many aspects of their lives, rely intellectually and culturally on what comes from their enemies. This is utter misguidance, the most blatant falsehood, and the worst state into which a person can fall. This is because those enemies are allies of Satan; they are a source of misguidance and loss, and they are enemies of this Ummah and seek no good for it whatsoever, as Allah has made clear in the Holy Quran.

As we have said, we must strive to ensure that our relationship with Allah's guidance is meaningful and effective, one whose fruits we can perceive within ourselves: in our actions, our awareness, our understanding, our wisdom, our sound judgement, our decisions, our stances, and our uprightness. This should also extend to the outcomes that follow: the fulfilment of Allah's true promise to those who follow His guidance in this world, and what awaits them in the Hereafter.

In the Holy Quran, Allah has provided complete guidance from His light—a living connection to Him through His instructions, the truths He teaches us about this life and reality, and the criteria He sets by which people can be assessed: Through it, we can discern clearly within human society, so that we are not confused about who is an enemy and who is a friend, whom we should follow, and whom we should oppose, and so on. The Holy Quran offers a precise assessment and a profoundly realistic discernment without being unfair to anyone.

We need the Holy Quran as a book of guidance, and we must strive to restore this bond—the bond of being guided by the Quran in our vision, our ideas, our culture, our orientations, our evaluations, our decisions, and our entire journey through life. We must also realise that, while it is a book of guidance, it is inseparably connected to Allah's sustaining governance, for Allah is the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all. That is why He (the Almighty) says, {'Allah! There is no god except Him—the Ever-Living, All-Sustaining. He has revealed to you the book in truth, confirming what came before it'}. Because there is no deity except Allah, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer, one manifestation of His sustaining governance is that He has not neglected His servants or abandoned them. He is the Sovereign of humankind, their Lord and their God; therefore, He grants them guidance, provides them with instructions, holds them to account, and recompenses them. There are outcomes for what people do, and this is a fundamental principle of Allah's laws in life: People's actions and orientations have outcomes—good results in good, and evil results in evil. People cannot simply follow their own desires, turning away from Allah's guidance, and then expect matters to proceed normally or succeed in this life.

For this reason, we must give serious attention to the Holy Quran, return to it, and seek guidance through it—especially when the Ummah is in need of guidance above all else: It needs awareness, insight, sound understanding, correct perspectives, wisdom, and right judgement. This is because it is experiencing profound confusion in all aspects of life, in its stance towards its enemies, and in all its affairs. We must also give due care to reciting the Quran and to listening to its recitation for those who are unable to recite—while listening, in any case, remains beneficial even alongside recitation. Equal attention should be given to the Quranic culture and to engaging with the prescribed programme with attentiveness, careful listening and full concentration.

By Allah's grace, during the blessed month of Ramadan, we usually have a structured Quranic programme, which is shared and organised. It is even broadcast through satellite television channels. This makes it accessible to people by providing them with cultural material derived from Allah's guidance, in addition to the recitation of the Holy Quran, so that they may benefit from the Quranic culture and Allah's guidance.

What matters most, however, is engagement with full attention and being careful not to fall into carelessness. Some people, for example, spend the time set aside for the programme on trivial things: whether losing themselves on television, phones, games, messaging, or other minor distractions. Prioritising such marginal preoccupations over Allah's guidance and the Holy Quran and squandering one of the most precious periods of time represents a serious loss. It is a state of negligence in which a person wrongs himself and ends up losing.

During the month of Ramadan, it is important to focus on acts of devotion and righteous deeds, for they play a profound role in spiritual purification. The more a person engages in good deeds, acts of kindness, and deeds that draw him closer to Allah, the more he grows in inner purity and spiritual elevation. Allah further increases him in purity and guidance. He receives immense reward and expansive divine care, drawing ever closer to Allah and attaining more and more of His pleasure. His spiritual rank before Allah is elevated, and he continues to rise in the purity, uprightness, and righteousness of his soul.

During the blessed month of Ramadan, people's hearts are more receptive to the guidance of the Holy Quran than at any other time. At the same time, they are inclined towards doing good and performing righteous deeds. A person must therefore seize this opportunity—an opportunity for multiplied reward and abundant recompense. Alongside giving attention to acts of devotion and worship, it is equally important to uphold cooperation in righteousness and piety: working together in doing good, performing acts of kindness, and caring for the poor and the needy. This brings great benefit, for when people unite in such efforts, they are able to accomplish far greater deeds than they could alone.

Likewise, attention should be given to the night of Qadr, and this means preparing oneself for it from the very start of the month of Ramadan. It is a great and blessed night of profound importance in the blessed month of Ramadan, for it is connected to a person's destiny—his future in this world and the Hereafter—and to what Allah decrees for him. However, preparation for it and proper concern for it must begin from the outset of Ramadan, so that a person may be granted success and attain its immense goodness.

With regard to the multiplication of reward and recompense, there is a noble hadith on this: The hadith states that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&F) delivered a sermon on the last Friday of the month of Sha'ban and said, after praising and glorifying Allah, 'O people, a great month has approached you in which there is a night better than a thousand months. It is the month of Ramadan.' The phrase 'has approached you' means that you are about to receive this month. 'It is the month of Ramadan, in which Allah (the Exalted) has made fasting obligatory.' The first aspect the Messenger of Allah addressed when speaking about the month of Ramadan was the significance of the night of Qadr within it, when he said, 'In it is a night better than a thousand months.' This is to draw our attention to the greatness of this night. How, then, can we be granted success in attaining it? By turning our attention to it from the very beginning of the month. We prepare ourselves spiritually and mentally; we purify and reform ourselves and remain upright.

'It is the month of Ramadan, in which Allah, the Exalted, has made fasting obligatory.' Fasting is a fundamental pillar of Islam, and one is cautioned not to neglect it. 'Performing a voluntary prayer during one of its nights is equal in reward to performing a voluntary prayer for seventy nights in other months. For anyone who performs an act of kindness to others in this month to draw closer to Allah, he will receive the reward of performing an obligatory duty in other months. And for anyone who performs an obligatory duty in this month, it is as if he had performed seventy obligatory duties in other months.' Thus, we see this immense multiplication of reward and merit—a great gift from Allah and a significant opportunity for a person. One can achieve a profound elevation in rank before Allah, in reward, in righteousness, and in spiritual growth; it will stand as a credit to him in the Hereafter and make Allah grant him goodness in this worldly life as well.

He (PBUH&F) also said, 'It is the month of patience, and indeed the reward of patience is Jannah.' That means one of the most important gains of Ramadan is that we become accustomed to patience, which is extremely important for us. Indeed, patience is a necessity in this life, a foundation for righteous deeds, a key to our success, uprightness, and perseverance in fulfilling our responsibilities. For this reason, the Quran promises great rewards for patience. Indeed, patience itself is a means that enables a person to perform his duties in this life in a way that pleases Allah (the Almighty) and brings about significant results both in this world and in the Hereafter.

'It is the month of mutual support.' This means that acts of kindness and generosity towards people, the needy, and the poor should be greater during this month than at other times. While helping others is required at all times, it is emphasised even more in Ramadan. Therefore, one of the most important things a person should focus on during Ramadan is benevolence and doing good, as stated in the Holy Quran: {'And do good, for Allah certainly loves the good-doers'}. This is a very significant aspect, and all of this, as we have said, prepares us for goodness in this world and in the Hereafter. It also equips us to face the current developments, dangers, and challenges that confront us.

Many people choose to ignore what is happening—to overlook the dangers facing this Ummah, across all its peoples and homelands. In fact, ignoring them never helps. Withdrawing—whether in people's religious path or in their practical commitment—from their great and weighty responsibilities and from the realities of their situation brings no benefit. Rather, it is a danger to them: It empowers their enemies against them, and it may even become a cause of subjugation to them.

We need to realise that we are an ummah facing risks and challenges. We are facing the worst enemies—the most hateful and malicious. These are the Jews, through their global Zionist movement and its major arms that have grown over time, especially due to Muslims' negligence, until they reached this level of power and influence, including its American, British, and Israeli arms, as well as those who move in their orbit.

The unfolding developments revolve around a central and extremely dangerous issue facing this Ummah—one about which we have repeatedly warned. It is the effort to establish a new order of unchecked aggression against this Ummah, to normalise it as an established reality: daily scenes of aggression that become accepted and familiar to people. This is a catastrophe; it is a grave calamity. We must understand that Israeli actions are not merely isolated events when we see the Israeli enemy killing Palestinians on a daily basis—through air strikes, artillery shelling, sniper fire, and every form of assault, even killing prisoners under torture—as well as scenes of demolition, occupation, the seizure of land, and acts of rape, with every kind of crime being committed against the Palestinian people. And so is the case when we see what it is also carrying out against the Lebanese people, what it is doing in Syria, and what it seeks to impose across the region more broadly. These acts are part of its effort to establish a new reality, which, if accepted, would pose an extremely serious danger to all the peoples of this region. For when the turn comes for any other Arab or Muslim country, the same pattern will repeat itself. You will see the same response: People will stand by as spectators, and the blame will be directed at those who stand in the way of the enemy and confront it, as is already the case in Palestine. Some within the Ummah consistently lay the blame on the mujahidin; likewise, in Lebanon, some direct their criticism at Hezbollah, at the mujahidin brothers there, and at Hezbollah's weapons, and so forth.

When we observe what the Israeli enemy is doing in Palestine, we see that it continues to violate the sanctity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which is one of the greatest Islamic sanctuaries—one that should matter to every Muslim. It persistently seeks to Judaise Al-Quds at a highly intensified pace and to isolate and detach it, along with parts of the West Bank, from the remainder of the territory. It also seeks to erase its Islamic landmarks and continually carries out unjust measures against the Palestinian people in Al-Quds—demolishing homes, blowing up residences, displacing families, and more.

In the West Bank, the Israeli enemy is pursuing full annexation, and it has become explicit in this direction: It is effectively seeking to end the Palestinian presence in the West Bank altogether. It openly repudiates all previous agreements, from Oslo onwards. This makes it clear that the choice of negotiation and political bargaining, as they describe it, is a failed path, devoid of value, credibility, or any positive outcome whatsoever. Yet they keep trying to sell it to the Ummah.

The criminal practices carried out by the Israeli enemy in the West Bank constitute a wide range of crimes: killing, ongoing abductions, the destruction of homes, and the displacement of the Palestinian people. They involve the expansion of settlement activity on lands seized from the Palestinian people and giving free rein to the usurpers, whom it calls 'settlers', to attack Palestinians without restraint—beatings, torture, and even targeting the elderly and children.

The Israeli enemy also continues its assaults on Gaza in every form, including daily killings, a tightening siege, and severe restrictions, resulting in immense suffering for the Palestinian people. Only a tiny fraction of essential supplies is permitted to enter; indeed, many basic necessities have not entered at all. The scale of suffering is immense. In addition, demolition of buildings continues relentlessly, with thousands of buildings blown up. A law mandating the execution of prisoners has also been issued, or is in the process of being enacted by the Israeli enemy, as efforts continue to bring it into force. All the while, Palestinian prisoners and abductees continue to be subjected to the most horrific forms of torture, with footage of such abuse even being circulated.

One of the most striking developments in the Gaza Strip is the Israeli enemy's mobilisation of traitors and proxy forces against the Palestinian people. Unfortunately, this phenomenon has begun to appear in Gaza, and it is a dangerous one. The Ummah should pay attention to how serious and harmful it is and what has led to it. In fact, all the peoples of our Arab and Islamic Ummah may end up facing a similar situation: that some of their own sons may side with the Israeli enemy, fighting in its ranks and attacking their own people! There are formations of criminal gangs created by the Israeli enemy, and they commit the most horrific crimes against the Palestinian people and operate openly. In the past, there were spies and agents, but they now take the form of gangs committing crimes in public and are clearly linked to the Israeli enemy.

The Israeli enemy is also arming the usurpers—whom it calls 'settlers'—at an intense pace. It is continuously providing weapons to thousands of them and giving them free rein against the Palestinian people, effectively allowing them to carry out killings and other crimes. As you can see, shipments of weapons to the Israeli enemy continue without interruption from America and Western countries. At the same time, it arms those it calls 'settlers' and forms armed criminal gangs—made up of traitors and proxy forces—that prey on the Palestinian people. Yet some keep calling for disarming Palestinians who refuse occupation and who defend themselves and their legitimate rights—their honour and dignity, their faith, and their right to live as free people.

And similarly with regard to Lebanon, there are propaganda campaigns and political pressures—even from some Arab regimes—aimed at forcing Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah, which protects Lebanon, while the Israeli enemy arms even those it calls 'settlers' and criminal gangs.

In Lebanon, the attacks involving killing and destruction continue. In fact, killing has become a daily practice of the Israeli enemy, which also destroys homes through demolition, airstrikes, and other means. It continues to push into areas, villages, towns, and sites and carries out abductions brazenly and without pause. It even sprays Lebanese farmland with toxic pesticides. This is the height of brazenness—clear proof that the issue is not Hezbollah's weapons but aggression itself, unjustified assaults without restraint. In its sweeping criminality, the Israeli enemy targets both life and land, seeking the destruction of land and people alike.

In Syria, violations continue as well. The enemy is entrenching its control over southern Syria despite agreements and despite the well-known position of the groups that hold power there. The Israeli enemy continues its incursions, abductions, checkpoints, and acts of complete lawlessness.

In partnership with America, the Israeli enemy continues to set its sights on the region as a whole. It wants to be the dominant power over all the peoples of our region; that is why it is focused on removing the Islamic Republic of Iran, which it sees as one of the foremost major obstacles standing in the way of its domination over this region and all its peoples. The Iranian position is strong, cohesive, and resilient: the position of the leadership, the government, the army and the Revolutionary Guards, and the people. The public turnout yesterday on the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution was massive and very impressive, delivering a very important message to the enemies.

The Israeli enemy, together with America, operates under the banner of 'the Middle East'. In reality, it seeks to reshape the region so that it becomes absolutely subservient to it—open to violation and under its complete control. In short, this would mean that the Muslim peoples—throughout the Arab world and beyond—would lose their freedom, dignity, and independence and that all their resources and capabilities would be harnessed for the benefit of the Israeli enemy. This would also mean that their blood, honour, land, wealth, and sanctities—indeed everything—would be treated as permissible to violate. No person who still has even a shred of human dignity could accept such a reality—let alone someone who is a believer and sincerely committed to Islam and its message.

For that reason, all peoples in this region must understand that they are being targeted by the enemies. This applies even to those countries that see themselves as tied to the Americans in the name of 'interests'—the petro-dollar states that believe they have major economic interests with America. It is clear that one of America's goals, driven by its ambitions, in what it has done to control Venezuela is to secure alternative energy sources that would make it less dependent on energy from this region. In other words, the United States has now become a competitor in energy and oil production. It will come to view even the major oil-producing countries in our region—the oil and petro-dollar states—as competitors, for it has begun to supply and export, presenting itself as ready to sell to India, China, and other countries. China is the top customer for some Arab regimes in buying oil, and America is saying it will sell them Venezuelan oil.

Meanwhile, the intensive arming of the Israeli enemy continues in preparation for new assaults. Among the developments that have exposed the enemies in this phase are the documents connected to the Jew Jeffrey Epstein. These revelations carry significant lessons and warrant serious attention in the media and in broader awareness efforts. Indeed, media outlets should focus on examining those documents and on exposing and unmasking the enemies. These documents have revealed a hub—one of the incubators of Zionism—where leaders are shaped and produced—where instruments of control and domination over peoples and their decision-making are forged.

We said that this same pattern emerged in Gaza. In fact, it had appeared, even before Gaza, among other peoples and in other countries, yet due to our Ummah's weak memory and its state of forgetfulness and heedlessness, the same events repeated themselves. And the level of Zionist criminality—carried out in partnership with America—in the Gaza Strip was staggering and truly horrific. It shocked the world, and it should be enough to jolt awake anyone who still has even a trace of human feeling or human conscience. But the other things they kept under strict secrecy—hidden from the public eye—were equally appalling, vile, and depraved to the extreme. Satanic rituals were carried out on the so-called 'Devil's Island', with political elites in the West—first and foremost in the United States, as well as in Britain and elsewhere—taking part in them, along with some affluents and proxies from this Ummah. These Satanic rituals involved the most horrific atrocities targeting children and underage girls, including sexual abuse and torture. They even involved offering some children as sacrifices, draining and drinking their blood, killing them, and trafficking their organs. These scandals are deeply shameful and outrageous. What is more, all of this comes within a political context: It is tied to the inner circles of power—corrupting them on one hand, drawing them in on another, and in some cases blackmailing them as well. This should be a major focus for media, for it attests to the Quranic truths about their corrupting role on the earth: {'And they strive to spread corruption in the land'}. They work hard and in an organised way to spread corruption in all forms possible.

In our country throughout this whole period, there have been major activities: tribal rallies, gatherings after Friday prayers, and the very broad mass demonstrations last week—alongside other various activities including intensive awareness-raising and mobilisation activities. The blessed month of Ramadan does not distract us from our other responsibilities; rather, it strengthens our commitment to them: We give more attention to steadfast presence on the frontlines, remembrance of Allah there, and sustained care for our jihad-related priorities and general responsibilities. In this way, we attain greater spiritual growth and draw upon the blessings of this noble month.

We ask Allah (Glory be to Him) to grant us success in seeking what pleases Him. O Allah! Have mercy on our virtuous martyrs, heal the wounded among us, set free our captives, and grant us victory. You are the Hearer of Prayer!

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

May Allah protect you, grant you success, and reward you abundantly, and we ask Him to grant success to us all
