Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
Bismillah.

September has started quite fast. This week, the US-Iran war in particular has shaken the world agenda.
If we examine our news headlines for this week in order, we can summarize them as follows:

• 10 Years in Uyghur Oppression
• Aid to the West Bank Is Decreasing!
• US-Iran War Re-ignited
• The US's New Missile in Iran
• The Cost of Occupations to the US

It was a very fast-paced week.
So let's examine what happened this week in order.

10 Years in Uyghur Oppression

The Chinese government's severe oppression against Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims in East Turkestan continues, even though nearly a decade has passed since the start of the first large-scale campaign. The cruel Chinese regime continues to exert pressure through mass arbitrary detentions, unfair prison sentences, intense surveillance, suppression of religious and cultural life, restrictions on travel and communication, and even targeting individuals abroad. According to available data, oppression intensified particularly during the Chen Quanguo period starting in 2016, and an estimated one million Uyghurs were held in "political education" camps. Moreover, the cruel Chinese regime not only attacks these people for their religious values, but also forces their daughters into forced marriages and subjects their men to forced labor. For instance, the recently popular "Temu" platform is known for utilizing Uyghur forced labor. For this reason, every conscientious person who does not want to be complicit in the blood, honor, and rights of innocent people should remain conscious on this issue and at least continue the boycott.

Aid to the West Bank Is Decreasing!

Due to a lack of funding, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) was forced to reduce the number of people benefiting from food assistance in the occupied West Bank from 400,000 to 200,000. WFP states that while aid is being reduced, humanitarian needs in the region are actually increasing; particularly highlighting that rising violence by Israeli occupiers, bloody operations by terrorist soldiers, increasing restrictions, home demolitions, and displacements threaten Palestinians' survival, food sources, and security. Additionally, it is noted that the funding shortage may also impact aid in Gaza. This situation once again exposes the helplessness and vileness of the leaders who do nothing but occupy seats at the head of countries. However, remember that oppression and genocide have not ended—continue the boycott and continue sending aid through reliable institutions. Do not say "what difference does it make if I don't buy a drink, or who can my money save?"; we should rejoice even if we save a single life. You can use the Boycott Materials for free to bring the boycott further into the spotlight.

US-Iran War Re-ignited

The US-Iran war, which is becoming increasingly complex, has flared up again. Iranian state television reported on September 2 that a wedding held in a home in the Sirik region of the country's Hormozgan province was struck by three missiles, killing at least four people, with a total of around 70 people killed or injured; the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs had previously announced that around 50 people were killed or injured. The US, whose history is written with civilian blood, approaches the claim with "skepticism." Yet, during this very war, it was they themselves who deliberately struck a young girls' school. Despite this, it is truly lessons-worthy that miserable "state leaders" who try to curry favor with these bloodthirsty enemies of Islam remain in governance over Muslims.

The US's New Missile in Iran

It is alleged that the US may have used its new Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) in combat for the first time during a strike on February 28 in Lamerd, a city in southern Iran. According to an examination of imagery, satellite data, and other open sources by the conflict monitoring organization Airwars, three missiles exploded over a sports complex and two residential areas; Iranian officials reported that at least 21 civilians, including seven children, were killed in the attacks. The PrSM is designed to detonate in mid-air to scatter tens of thousands of dense metal fragments over a wide area, and the damage pattern on buildings, vehicles, and roads in Lamerd is consistent with these characteristics. This new weapon stands in the inventory of the US—whose hands are perhaps soaked in innocent blood second only to the Terror State of Israel—as a crime machine causing severe civilian damage without regarding targets.

The Cost of Occupations to the US

While the US has continued to bring blood and death across the globe for decades, about six months ago it launched an attack on Iran expected to "end in a few weeks." The cost of this war to the US has surpassed 37.5 billion dollars, and the conflict is still not over. Having caused the deaths of tens of thousands of innocents over the years through unjust attacks, the US has begun to crumble under the economic burden brought by these strikes. Caught in an increasing impasse with diminishing ammunition supplies and a worsening global oil economy, the US faces a losing outcome whether it withdraws from or continues its attacks on Iran. Yet, despite all that has happened, it attempts to keep up appearances and continues to massacre innocents and support genocides.

As long as Muslims continue to divide and fight among themselves over small matters, stray away from Islam in pursuit of different values and ideologies, and remain under the rule of cowardly traitors, events like these and similar ones are bound to happen. Therefore, everyone must first reform themselves, then their surroundings, and struggle to raise the Ummah back onto its feet. May Allah make us among those who do this. Amin.

Effort is from us, success is from ALLAH.

Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful." (Surah Az-Zumar - Verse 53)

Assalamu alaikum.
