Sayyid Hashim Mosque in Gaza

Gaza City is a land full of martyrs' dreams, an ancient land with monuments and historical monuments, fortified mosques and churches that tell their historical history with their bells, markets as old as its historical civilization.

 

One of the most famous old places in Gaza is the Al-Omari Mosque, which was converted into a mosque with a minaret during the time of Omar Ibn Al-Khattab. This mosque was originally a church built by the Bishop of Gaza, but with the Muslim conquest it was transformed into a large mosque with an area of ​​4100 square meters, whose corridors have 38 huge marble columns.

 

The passage of time on this large mosque in the historical periods of Islamic civilization and the severe disasters of the time made it in need of reconstruction and restoration. In the 1920s, the Supreme Islamic Council of Palestine restored and expanded this mosque. This mosque was partially destroyed in the attacks of the Zionist regime aimed at destroying the ancient and Islamic monuments of Gaza.

 

One of the most important and largest mosques in Gaza City is the Sayyid Hashim Mosque, named after Hashim ibn Abd Manaf, the grandfather of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), in the Al-Darj area of ​​Gaza. The shrine of Hashim Abd Manaf is located in the northwest corner of the mosque. The mosque has been partially destroyed in recent attacks by the Zionist regime.

 

According to historians, the mosque dates back to the Mamluk period and is considered one of the most beautiful buildings in Gaza. . The mosque consists of an open courtyard surrounded by four canopies, the largest of which is the qibla canopy in a room that opens towards the western canopy near the shrine of Hashim ibn Abd Manaf, the grandfather of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

 

Then, the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II renovated and expanded it in the late 9th century. The current building of the mosque dates back to 1850, when it was renovated on the orders of Abdul Hamid II.

This mosque is located one kilometer from the Al-Omari Grand Mosque. Inside the mosque is a madrasa built by the Palestinian Islamic Supreme Council. The dome of this mosque was destroyed in World War I, but the Palestinian Islamic Supreme Council rebuilt and restored it.

Hashim Abd Manaf died on his last trip to Gaza, where he came for business. His tomb collapsed in the early 12th century, and the residents of Gaza built a wall around this tomb. In 1855, Sultan Abdul Hamid II, at the request of the Mufti of Palestine, built a mosque near this tomb, which today houses the tomb of the Prophet's grandfather.

 

This mosque is built in the Mamluk architectural style, and its southern, northern and western porches have 19 stone columns, 17 small domes and two large domes. The main prayer hall of the mosque is located on the eastern side and resembles a square, its mihrab faces the qibla and has a pulpit.

 

The area of ​​​​the mosque is 2,371 square meters. The courtyard of the mosque is made of marble and its columns are also covered with marble. The walls of the Sayyid Hashim Mosque are 90 cm thick to support the stone domes.

 

The tomb of Sayyid Hashim is located on the northwest side of the mosque. The tomb is located in a square room with a large dome on top. The dome has eight windows that are placed to illuminate the tomb.

 

Another old mosque in Gaza that was attacked by the Zionist regime is the “Ibn Othman Mosque” in the Shuja’iyah area in eastern Gaza City. This mosque was built in the 8th century AH. The design of this historic and old mosque in the Mamluk style was done by Sheikh Ahmed bin Othman.

 

The “Sheikh Abdullah” Mosque is an old mosque in the Al-Taffa area in eastern Gaza that was built during the Mamluk period.

 

The most famous mosques in Gaza include the Maghrib Mosque in the Al-Darraj neighborhood, the “Al-Mahkama Bardakiyyah” mosque, which was founded by Prince Bardik Al-Dodar in 859 AH, the “Al-Zafrd Al-Miri Mosque”, the “Al-Sheikh Zakaria Mosque”; The mosques of Ismail Abu Shanab and Tal al-Mantar are mentioned.

Sheikh Qassem: Hezbollah will target Tel Aviv in response to Israeli attacks on Beirut

 

The Lebanese resistance movement is ready for a long war against Israel and its response to the recent deadly airstrikes on Beirut will be to target the center of Tel Aviv, the Hezbollah leader said.

 

Sheikh Naim Qassem made the remarks in a televised address on Wednesday, referring to the deadly Israeli attacks on three central Beirut areas in recent days, one of which killed Hezbollah media chief Mohammed Afif and four members of his team.

 

Sheikh Qassem said the regime killed Afif while he was in a “civilian, media and political location that is supposed to be protected in such cases.”

 

“(Israel) attacked, assassinated and attacked the heart of the capital Beirut, so they should expect the response to be in the center of Tel Aviv. We cannot leave the capital under the blows of the Israeli enemy unless it pays the price.”

An analysis of the US approach to Lebanon

Washington claims to be trying to manage tensions and establish a ceasefire, especially in Lebanon, which has in fact become the "driving engine" of the war. The fact that the Americans talk about reducing tensions in official forums and calling on both sides to exercise restraint is completely "contrary" to what they do on the ground, and do not hesitate to provide any military, security, economic, political and diplomatic assistance to the Israeli regime to continue the war.

 

There is ample evidence to show that, contrary to the statements of American statesmen who so-called call for a ceasefire and avoidance of conflict in Lebanon, the Biden administration and the White House are not simply passive allies that the Zionists sometimes defy, but rather, at every point in the developments in Lebanon, they are a "government in sync and aligned" with the Zionist regime.

 

Recently, Reuters published a report revealing the true dimensions of US policy towards Lebanon and Hezbollah. Referring to the words of US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller regarding Washington's support for Tel Aviv's actions in targeting Hezbollah's infrastructure, he emphasized: "The policy of resolving the tension between Hezbollah in Lebanon and Tel Aviv through diplomacy is no longer the US approach to developments in West Asia, and Washington is no longer inclined to prevent war."

 

This change in approach has become "clearer" especially after the Zionist regime's "terrorist campaign" in Lebanon, which led to the martyrdom of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and a number of senior Hezbollah commanders, and the US has become "more clear" with the idea that Hezbollah has been defeated. Its power is seeking to change political trends in Lebanon after the loss of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

 

The US government is seeking to reduce Hezbollah's influence and subsequently "eliminate" it from Lebanon's political future by any means possible, including supporting the Zionist regime's war against Hezbollah and Lebanon, tarnishing Hezbollah's image, creating a cost for resistance in Lebanese public opinion, and ... inciting people and various political movements against the party. May Allah blame all the existing problems and difficulties on Hezbollah. Lebanese Resistance

 

Recently, the American website Axios reported on a new US plan to change the power equations in Lebanon and revealed, quoting American officials: “The White House intends to exploit the current situation of Hezbollah in Lebanon to elect a new Lebanese president as soon as possible. "

 

This is while the US ambassador to Lebanon, in a meeting with some political forces and independent representatives of the parliament, in statements completely disproportionate to Hezbollah's position and situation in the field and the region, implicitly said: "Hezbollah has been weakened and Hezbollah has been weakened. Control over the government is no longer tolerable. In the near future, we must prepare ourselves for a stage in Lebanese politics in which Hezbollah will have no place.

 

In short, America has turned to a complex and double game in the region and Lebanon. Despite its gestures in the field of human rights and..., Washington is the main cause of the massacre in Lebanon and occupied Palestine. Other Western countries are also not taking effective steps to establish a ceasefire and stop the Zionist regime's war in Lebanon and are in a way following US policies. Of course, France is trying to play a role in the Lebanese political atmosphere in a relatively realistic way by maintaining its former colonial approaches and interacting with Hezbollah.

Without American support, the Zionist regime cannot last more than a few days against the Lebanese resistance, whose combat organization has not been damaged even after the assassination of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

 

By monitoring the trends and developments on the ground, and especially in Lebanon, it seems that a large and joint regional agenda is underway under the leadership of the United States to change the "political and security order" governing Lebanon if possible. Eliminating Hezbollah from its political future

 

Of course, Lebanon is the starting point of the order desired by the United States, which, depending on the outlook for developments, may also be followed in other Arab countries, including Syria and even America's Arab partners in the region. The United States, which lacks the necessary conditions to directly enter into war and conflict in the region and Lebanon, is well aware of the political, social, cultural, etc. relations between the people of Lebanon and Hezbollah. Therefore, it considers the people's "interest" in Hezbollah an "obstacle" to advancing and realizing its political programs in this country. Therefore, it considers military action, war, and displacement to be the only effective way to sever these interests and ties, and consequently eliminate Hezbollah from Lebanon’s political future.

 

However, contrary to the Americans’ view, Hezbollah has not been weakened, and there is no clear evidence or sign of Hezbollah’s military and field weakening in Lebanon, and the scene of the clashes also confirms this. Furthermore, Hezbollah, as it has shown in practice, is committed to Lebanon’s interests, security, and national sovereignty, and welcomes any ceasefire plan that takes into account the interests of the Lebanese people and the country’s resistance.

Hamid Khoshaiyan

According to the country’s Foreign Minister, Iran has a strong will to expand cooperation with Syria in various fields and will continue to stand by the Syrian people and government.

 

Abbas Araqchi, in a joint press conference with his Syrian counterpart Bassam Sabbagh after their meeting in Tehran, said that they had “very positive” talks about the Gaza-Lebanon war and the “strategic and strong” relations between the two countries.

 

He said: “We welcome the stability and unity of Syria and condemn any attempt to destabilize this country.”

 

Araqchi condemned Israel’s repeated aggressions against Syria and Lebanon, saying: “These aggressions demonstrate the hostile and expansionist nature of this regime.”

 

He called on the international community and the United Nations to condemn these aggressions and end their inaction.

 

Regarding the threats from Israel and the West against Iran, he emphasized that Iran has shown its determination against any threat, especially from Israel, and Iran reserves the right to respond to such aggression as part of its defense policy.

 

He said: I think Iran has proven its strategy to the Israeli regime and anyone who wants to threaten Iran, we will not allow any aggression against Iranian soil to go unanswered.

 

Araqchi noted: Iran makes decisions based on wisdom and careful consideration, not haste or emotional reactions.

 

He said: Iran has proven that it always makes wise decisions based on wisdom and insight, and we neither rush nor procrastinate, and we avoid emotional decisions and respond at the right time.

 

The United States was called upon to pursue maximum rationality

 

He said: The maximum pressure strategy by the United States has failed, which shows Iran's resistance.

 

The policy of pressure does not work, and we have shown in practice that when they adopted the strategy of maximum pressure, Iran offered maximum resistance and American officials admitted that their policy had failed.

 

He suggested that instead of maximum pressure, the Americans should adopt a policy of maximum rationality, and this would probably bring different results.

 

The Syrian Foreign Minister stated: “The escalation of Israeli tensions in the region is part of the American and Zionist project, which aims to redraw the map of this region, and Israel is a tool for this purpose.”

The Syrian Foreign Minister stressed the need to end the Israeli occupation of the Golan Heights and reiterated his commitment to bilateral cooperation against terrorism.

 

Stating that some countries are taking destructive actions against the sovereignty of Syria, he expressed hope that deeper coordination will be established to counter these actions.

In Sura Insan, verse no.8 Allah Almighty said:

وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا

For the love of Him, they feed the needy, the orphan and the prisoner,

 

Shia and Sunni commentators narrate that these verses were revealed about Ali, Fatimah, Hasan, and Hussain, peace be upon them, because they fed the poor, orphans, and captives with their Iftar for three nights, and they themselves remained hungry, and God praised them with these verses. He said and did. You revealed this Surah for them, and this is the reason that this Surah was revealed in Madinah.

This human rights activist stated: The occupiers deliberately target the security forces and the police of the Gaza Strip and their centers in order to achieve their goals of creating chaos in this region and that aid does not reach the people and that aid does not reach them. . Not guaranteed.

 

He called for putting pressure on the Zionist regime to fulfill its legal, moral and humanitarian obligations according to Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention, which emphasizes the appropriate mechanism for sending humanitarian aid and protects civilians and their dignity.

 

Al-Sakafi also called for pressure on the Israeli regime to open the crossings for sending humanitarian aid by land to the Gaza Strip and to lay the groundwork for sending large amounts of food and medical aid from humanitarian and international centers to the residents of Gaza. area

 

The Zionist newspaper "Haaretz" recently revealed that the Israeli army has allowed the armed elements to loot the trucks that enter the Gaza Strip for relief and confiscate their goods.

 

This newspaper added: Armed people block the way of many trucks entering Gaza through the Karam Abu Salem crossing, which is under the control of the Zionists, and loot them, and in many of these cases, they confiscate the aid and send it there. brand Their warehouses are transferred under the control of the army.

 

Sources present in the Gaza Strip told this Zionist newspaper that these incidents usually happen in the presence of army soldiers and at a distance of a few meters from them, and some trucks that are attacked contact the Israeli army, but they do not intervene.

 

These sources add that the remaining local police forces in the Gaza Strip have tried to prevent the looting of the trucks by these armed elements, but they have faced an attack by the Israeli army.
