Earlier on X, I had written a comment that I deleted soon after posting. It was made on the footage that was recently released, showing how the terrorist Zionist army had perpetually attacked paramedics in Gaza. The comment was that not enough can be done to serve justice before what "israel" and the United States have done in Gaza. After reflecting, I deleted it, because even if that is true, that if even the annihilation of the cancerous entity is not enough, it does not mean that nothing should be done. There are so many reasons why continuing to resist in the face of all this darkness and oppression is a necessity, and most importantly, Resistance is the faith in the prevailing of God's inevitable Justice put to practice. We cannot sit by like the rest of this incompetent, complicit world and only pray for this Justice without doing anything to make it happen; we cannot expect this outcome without being a reason for it to come to be.
Another reason I disagreed with that statement, which I admit was more of an emotional response (that we should make less of), is because I cannot claim it is true. Why? Because we believe that God is capable of healing the hearts of the believers in ways we cannot fathom. Making a statement of that sort can plant despair in our hearts. And even after everything that happened and is happening, we cannot allow despair into our hearts, for only then will we be truly defeated. As long as we resist, we are not defeated. This is what it means when we say that the Resistance is victorious through its continuity, especially when the enemy's goal is to break this Resistance, whether as a military power or the Resistance in the people's hearts.
Today, after everything we have witnessed, the darkness we seem to be drowning in, our beloved leaders that we have lost, the horrors we are watching...and with the lessons we should learn, we should still not lose our faith, for the goals have not changed, and with them, the duty to fight oppression does not waive, in any and every means possible.
This war has put into perspective the extent of the enemy's capabilities, and while that should teach us to continue to improve ours, it should not take away from the role of our ideology, meaning, while working on improving our material capabilities, our ideology remains a priority too.
The enemy is driven by greed and fear of the unknown, which is the reason behind the insanity in their actions, while we are driven by our faith in God; in the firm belief that God's Justice always prevails against oppression, which is the reason behind our steadfastness.
It can be really easy to let this darkness take over our hearts. Clearly, I had almost let it too, were it not for God's Kindness that allowed me to think again. But to continue this fight, and to be deserving to even pray for Allah's Justice, work for it, and call upon the Imam of our time (ajtf) that please, return soon, then our hearts must remain tender sources of light, and for them to be sources of light, darkness cannot find a home for itself in them. Allowing the darkness in is what will create despair and turn our hearts to stone.
May we never succumb to the enemy's darkness, may the light of God's Justice fill the world soon, and may He bless us to be contributors to the coming victory.
