A Psychological Examination of Extreme and Chronic Transgressors

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Allah, The Most High, said:

مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ أَوْ فَسَادٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا وَمَنْ أَحْيَاهَا فَكَأَنَّمَا أَحْيَا النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا

If anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land – it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. [Al-Maa’idah. 32]

If an individual is audacious enough to murder someone who does not deserve it, this indicates that they do not differentiate between the person killed and others, rather, they would commit this act whenever their evil inclinations prompt them to do so. So, their audacious behaviour, which led them to kill, is tantamount to killing all of humanity.

On the other hand, if a person refrains from killing and instead saves a life, even though their inner (evil) desires urge them to do otherwise, out of fear of Allah, it is as if they have saved the lives of all humankind. This is because the fear of Allah that they possess prevents them from killing someone who does not deserve it. [1]

Blazing Zionist Arieh King, deputy mayor of Jerusalem, stated in a deleted tweet regarding some Palestinian non-combatant males detained by the Zionist army for interrogation to determine their Hamas affiliation:

Eliminate the Muslim Nazis. We have to pick up the pace. If I had made the decision, I would have jumped 4 D-9s and put them behind the mounds of dirt and given the order to cover all these hundreds of ants, while they were still alive. They are not human beings and not human animals, they are subhuman and that is how they should be treated. To protect the memory of Amalek, we will not forget. [End of quote]

It is not worth elaborating on his assertion that the detained non-combatant Palestinians are subhuman, as the true nature of those who are constantly wreaking havoc—slaughtering thousands, including children and babies—has become abundantly clear. Nevertheless, we must address his derogatory comparison of these non-combatants to ants, as well as his chilling declaration, “To protest the memory of Amalek, we will not forget.”

Indeed, even the ants in the era of Prophet Sulayman, peace be upon him and his father, possessed the awareness that they would not face oppression from the people of justice. Allah stated:

وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَيۡمَـٰنَ جُنُودُهُ ۥ مِنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِ وَٱلطَّيۡرِ فَهُمۡ يُوزَعُونَ

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَتَوۡاْ عَلَىٰ وَادِ ٱلنَّمۡلِ قَالَتۡ نَمۡلَةٌ۬ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّمۡلُ ٱدۡخُلُواْ مَسَـٰكِنَڪُمۡ لَا يَحۡطِمَنَّكُمۡ سُلَيۡمَـٰنُ وَجُنُودُهُ ۥ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ

فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكً۬ا مِّن قَوۡلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ أَوۡزِعۡنِىٓ أَنۡ أَشۡكُرَ نِعۡمَتَكَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَٲلِدَىَّ وَأَنۡ أَعۡمَلَ صَـٰلِحً۬ا تَرۡضَٮٰهُ وَأَدۡخِلۡنِى بِرَحۡمَتِكَ فِى عِبَادِكَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

And there were gathered before Sulaiman (Solomon) his hosts of jinns and men, and birds, and they all were set in battle order (marching forwards). Till, when they came to the valley of the ants, one of the ants said: “O ants! Enter your dwellings, lest Sulaiman (Solomon) and his hosts crush you, while they perceive not.” So he [Sulaiman (Solomon)] smiled, amused at her speech, and said: “My Lord! Inspire and bestow upon me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your Favours which You have bestowed on me and my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds that will please You, and admit me by Your Mercy among Your righteous slaves.” [Al-Naml. 17-19]

The ant sought an excuse for (Sulayman’s) army if they would have harmed its colony because they were unaware of their presence, and it blamed its colony if they failed to take safeguards by not entering their dwelling place. Sulayman, peace be upon him, smiled as a result of this because it is something that should amaze and make someone smile. [2]

The ant knew Sulayman’s affair and that of his army, exalted Sulayman’s authority, and excused them if they crushed its colony because that would have occurred unintentionally. Sulayman heard the ant’s speech and understood it, so he smiled due to being amazed by the ant’s eloquence, advice, and fine expression. [3]

Indeed, this exemplifies one of the many amazing qualities of the Prophets and Messengers. Their intentions were never to inflict harm; even the ants were reassured that Prophet Sulayman and his followers would not cause them any distress—neither through words nor actions.

In stark contrast, consider Netanyahu’s approach and Ariel’s temperament! They advocate violence through deliberate airstrikes that claim the lives of thousands, including children, healthcare professionals, humanitarian workers, and journalists, alongside many unaccounted victims. Furthermore, the indiscriminate dropping of vast quantities of explosives, the repercussions of which will linger for years, is executed with full awareness of its devastating impact on health, well-being, and lives. Reflect on how the ant wisely advised its colony to seek refuge within their homes to avoid the unintentional harm of Prophet Sulayman’s forces, compared to how some in Netanyahu’s Zionist military instruct non-combatant to move to designated areas for safety, only to subsequently target those very locations while feigning ignorance. This stark contrast reveals who truly embodies the essence of inhumanity.

As for Mr. King’s statement “To protest the memory of Amalek, we will not forget”, this link contains its appropriate response.

We ask Allah by His Greatest Names:

اللهم إني أسألك بأن لك الحمد لا إله إلا أنت المنان بديع السماوات والأرض يا ذا الجلال والإكرام! ياحيُّ ياقيوم

O Allah! Protect our Palestinian brothers and sisters from the callous enemy. O Allah! Remove this calamity and grant complete relief to our Palestinian brothers and sisters. O Allah! Enter into Your vast mercy those who have lost their lives and heal the hearts of their relatives. O Allah! Surround Netanyahu and his henchmen with severe punishment from above, below, in front, behind, left and right. O Allah! Make them taste the grief of all those whom they have wronged and harmed. O Allah! Grant our Palestinian brothers and sisters patience and endurance whilst they wait for relief Aameen.

To conclude: Expressing these sentiments against Netanyahu and others does not imply that the actions perpetrated by Hamas against unarmed civilians and non-combatants are not condemned for what they truly represent. Read here: “Do you condemn Hamas?”, we condemn everyone who opposes the Divine Legislation by killing innocent civilians, including non-combatant men, the elderly, women, children, priests, monks and the likes, no matter who they are, Muslim or non-Muslim, whether ISIS, al-Qaeda, Hamas, Boko Haram or Benjamin Mileikowsky, the IDF, Settlers and their likes. https://abuiyaad.com/a/amalekite-genocide-doctrine-gaza
