Post from Shaykh Haitham Al-Haddad
Visiting Gaza ..
Statement from Dr. Abdul Nasser Al-Zayoud, representative of the Hashemite Charitable Organization, after his recent visit to Gaza:
We've safely left Gaza and are en route to Egypt via the Jordanian Field Hospital. Our next stop is Egyptian Rafah, bordering Palestinian Rafah, before heading to Arish Airport for our journey back to Jordan.
Our time in Gaza spanned about 23 hours, from 10 PM Saturday to 2 PM Sunday, on 29/10/2023.
A summary of the most important points:
Gaza has indeed faced significant physical devastation. However, the undeterred spirit of its people soars to the skies.
Most of our time was spent inside the Jordanian Field Hospital among the wounded and injured. Notably, the morale and strength of the wounded and injured were far higher than our own.
For our safety, we were restricted from moving around alone. We were always accompanied by the young staff of the Jordanian Field Hospital and the Palestinian Red Crescent. We managed to roam freely in Gaza for a total of 3 hours, wishing they would have let us explore on our own, so we could possibly earn the honour of martyrdom alongside these formidable people.
Those 23 hours made us feel the pride, vigour, and masculinity present in this part of the land, despite all the hardships the people here have endured.
The Jordanian Field Hospital in Gaza is, by the grace of Allah, in excellent condition. It's equipped with all essential medical supplies, even generators and its own communication networks. Our team at the hospital are truly men in every sense of the word. May Allah bless them.
Though the Zionist forces have tried to stifle communications in Gaza, the resilient locals find ways around it, using even adjacent Egyptian and Israeli networks. This indomitable nation finds solutions to every challenge they face.
People here share every bite of bread, sip of water, and even their cash. They show a kind of compassion and solidarity for one another that I've never witnessed before. I observed this while distributing food and cash aid. I've visited and entered Gaza numerous times before, but what I witnessed this time was unlike any other time or year. The unity and bond that now exists in Gaza is profound. Everyone says this kind of unity hasn’t been seen for the past 40 years. Truly, this is what we felt and observed, and it's all by the grace of Allah.
Upon our entry last night through the Rafah crossing, and our departure today just before dusk, when they were inspecting the trucks, I swear by Allah, fear was apparent in their eyes and movements. The trembling and terror were visible, even when they spoke. As they walked, they would constantly look left and right, as if expecting a threat from any direction.
Had I not represented an international relief organisation, the Royal Hashemite Charitable Organisation of Jordan, and were it not for any actions contrary to UN instructions potentially causing embarrassment and harm to our organisation, I would never have left Gaza. I would have stayed there with them, hoping that Allah might honour us even a bit as He has honoured them.
I assure you, things in Gaza are excellent. We won't just say that victory is near; what we witnessed confirms they have already triumphed by the grace and generosity of Allah. What remains to be seen are mere details.
There's so much more to say, and we will return many times to our people in proud Gaza. I pray that liberation comes soon and that we return to see it freed, as will all the lands of Palestine, inshaa’Allah.
Farewell, Gaza, the land of honour, dignity, and a manhood which is absent in so many in our current times. We'll be back, proud Gaza, by the will of Allah, the Almighty.

Dear human being
Lest you have forgotten
You are one big family
All children of Adam
Whatever your ethnicity or creed
Whatever your language
Whatever your skin colour
Or the hue of your hair
Wether your eyes are blue or black
Take heed, and reflect a while!
You began from dirty fluid
And you produce filth daily
Then you leave as a corpse
You came from dust
And return to dust
So I fail to see
What makes you so proud
And arrogant
And how the deluded amongst you
Have a malignant
Superiority complex
Classing others less human
Nor why, instead of harmony
You create divide, and discord
Amongst the people
And I wonder, do you even realise
That the prophets of God
To name just a few
Adam, Abraham, Moses
Joshep, Jonah and Jesus
Peace be upon them all
Were neither white nor European
Just as the final messenger of God
Muhammad, Peace be upon him
Dear human being
Please be humble, and respect each other
And if you need a multicultural society
Learn about Islam
For verily, only in this Civilisation
Will you truly find
Equality, unity and brotherhood
And don't you see the signs of the creator
In the wonderful diversity
And the beautiful hues of Humanity
Black, brown, yellow, and white? ❤

Tell me O faithful ones!
O skies above a World in turmoil!
O sun that obediently rises and sets!
O moon that soothes the pitch of night!
O stars that continue to flicker bright!
Above corruption, terror and pain!
O mountains that still firmly stand!
O clouds that instruct the fall and rain!
O winds that can be cruel and kind!
Tell me O faithful ones!
Since the moment that you were born
How much cruelty did you witness?
How much sorrow, agony and suffering?
How many screams and cries and trauma?
And did you behold the Humanity resist and survive!
With faith poetry, prayer and love?
Tell me O faithful ones!
Did you witness the Jailbreak 2023!
When the pressure cooker exploded?
And the revengeful, planned slaughter followed?
Did you witness the sounds of the missiles
At the press of a button from high in the sky
Causing flames and a fiery blaze, demolishing homes
And crushing skulls, shattering limbs, and spilling blood
Bodies torched and scarred from white phosphorus burns
Of human beings with beautiful names and dignified lives?
Tell me O faithful ones!
Did you witness the agony of amputations and caesarean sections
Without medication or anaesthetic?
The hysterectomy of young mothers for continuing to bleed
After losing their coveted child?
Did you hear the shrieks and cries of excruciating agony?
Did you watch the doctor amputate the leg of his own child
Who had died from the unbearable pain?
Tell me O faithful ones!
Did you witness the martyrdom
Of the brave doctors and journalists?
Did you see the injured cats and dogs and murdered cattle and horses?
Did you also witness the tormentors play as God?
Deliberately inflicting hunger, thirst and forced displacement?
And did you behold the valiant people, still smile and thank and praise Allah?
Tell me O faithful ones!
Then did you watch the savage oppressors?
Who lie and play the victim game?
Repeating the right to self defense?
Relentlessly shedding innocent blood
Of thousands of men, women and children
And babies in cradles and babes in wombs?
Tell me O faithful ones!
Did you witness the relentless bombing for days and nights
Destroying neighbourhoods, hospitals and schools?
Vandelising churches, mosques and graves
Wiping out everything in sight
Not a memory to hold or to cherish?
Where subjugated impoverished families
Still lived and laughed and prayed and played
Thankful for every new day
That they were able to breathe and stay?
Tell me O faithful ones!
Did you see the silent mother cradling her enshrouded child?
Did you witness the grieving bride, whisper farewell to her beloved?
Did you behold the hysterical father digging rubble with his bare hands?
Did you see the little boy grasp the bag of his brother's pieces?
Did you descry the killed young mother, and her fetus, that never met?
Did you witness the premature babies forcefully left to starve and decay?
Did you perceive the gentle grandfather Khaled
Kiss the eye of the soul of his soul?
Tell me O faithful ones!
How are you able to continue the duties
Exactly as your Lord had appointed?
Though he allows manmade hindrance at times!
How are you still patient and focused?
Do you also lament and weep?
Remembering the heroes of this World?
How are you able to cope for so long?
Tell me O faithful ones!
Is it because of your constant hymning?
Or is it because after death, there is life?
And justice and hell and heaven exists?
Or is it because of the bravery, resilience
And reliance upon Allah
Of the great people that you watch over?
Shall I tell you O faithful ones!
As a human being with a very short life
After witnessing just a fragment
Of what you all had seen
Unable to function with a ruptured heart
I must take lessons from you, the faithful ones!
And continue with my strife in serving my Lord
Upholding the Sunnah of Rasoollullah ﷺ
And do all I can to aide the distressed
Stop oppression and support liberation
And continue calling towards Islam
That adorn these powerful godly people
Of beautiful resiliant rising Gaza
Alas! How much have we yet to witness O Lord!!
We plead with you to forgive our sins
And for every drop of their blood and tear
Guide all mankind to thy straight path
Ya Allah liberate Palestine and free the people of the World!
And make us steadfast and strong
Like the faithful ones in Gaza and in the skies above...
And let us never forget☝️
