The genocide in Gaza is one
that is unparalleled in Muslim history, two million people are being annihilated in the most systematic way, with no escape. On one side stands the fascistic zionist entity and on the other a wall of compliant, tepid, Muslim rulers who have expended zero political capital to help their beleaguered brethren. Instead they feed their imperial north star, the United States, wishing to usher this away so they can continue as usual. A pitiful existence, in a region where Israel looks to undermine any whiff of independence.
But is there a greater problem than the Arab rulers? If the Egyptian army guard the gates of Rafah, where are the Muslim people to hold them to account? If the Islamic faith was founded upon principles of calling out the good and forbidding the evil, then why do so many of us live lives that fail to internalise this disaster, let alone move to hold the conspirators to account. What of the Muslim scholars, our historical north star? How is it that so many of them continue to preach a detachment that preserves their proximity to thrones and funds. Is there a problem with our Islam. This is the question we look at with Dr Farah El-Sharif.

Palestine is a geographic region in Western Asia. It is usually considered to include the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Israel, and in some definitions, some parts of western Jordan. The name was used by ancient Greek writers, and it was later used for the Roman province Syria Palaestina, the Byzantine
Palaestina Prima, and the Islamic provincial district of Jund Filastin. The region comprises most of the territory claimed for the biblical regions known as the Land of Israel, the Holy Land or Promised Land. Historically, it has been known as the southern portion of wider regional designations such as Canaan, Syria, ash-Sham, and the Levant. Situated at a strategic location between Egypt, Syria and Arabia, and the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity, the region has a long and tumultuous history as a crossroads for religion, culture, commerce, and politics.

The Muslim Brotherhood is a Sunni Islamist organization founded in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna, primarily in Egypt. It's a transnational group with a significant presence in many Muslim countries, aiming to establish a state governed by Islamic law, known as Sharia. The Brotherhood's stated goals
include spreading Islamic morals, combating what it deems "ignorant societies," and promoting a "new man" rooted in Islamic values.
Madkhalism is a branch of the larger Salafi movement that emphasizes loyalty to and submission to secular and authoritarian governments, particularly in the Arab world, based on the teachings of Sheikh Rabee al-Madkhali.

submissive to authority and potentially neglecting important social issues.
Pre-Islam refers to the period in history before the emergence and widespread adoption of Islam. It specifically denotes the time before the Prophet Muhammad's revelations and the establishment of Islamic faith, culture, and civilization.
Early Islam or the history of Islam is believed, by most historians to have originated with Muhammad's mission in Mecca and Medina at the start of the 7th century CE. Although Muslims regard this time as a return to the original faith passed down by the Abrahamic prophets, such as Adam, Noah
Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, and Jesus, with the submission (Islam) to the will of God. According to the traditional account, the Islamic prophet Muhammad began receiving what Muslims consider to be divine revelations in 610 CE, calling for submission to the one God, preparation for the imminent Last Judgement, and charity for the poor and needy.
