The event drew a significant crowd from not only Diyarbakır but also surrounding cities and districts, reflecting the widespread interest in the topics addressed.

The centerpiece of the event was the message delivered by Menaf Adıyaman, a member of the event’s organizing committee. Adıyaman's message offered a powerful and nuanced perspective on the challenges faced by Muslims worldwide. A central theme was the concept of jihad, which he interpreted not simply as warfare, but as a multifaceted struggle for justice, liberation, and the preservation of Islamic values.

Adıyaman emphasized the importance of jihad as a means of liberation for oppressed Muslim communities. He cited a verse from the Quran that urges Muslims to fight for the defense of the weak and downtrodden. This resonated with many attendees who felt a sense of solidarity with their Palestinian brothers and sisters suffering under Israeli occupation.

The full text of the message is as follows:

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, MOST GRACIOUS AND MOST MERCIFUL

 

                                  The Message of Our Foundation Regrading “Mawlid Al Nabi-2024”

 

All praise is due to Allah and may peace and blessing be upon his servant and Messenger Muhammad, the Leader of Jihad, and on his household and all of his Companions.

1)The Salvation of Oppressed Peoples is Possible Through Jihad: "The Leader of Jihad is the Prophet Muhammad."

The only way to salvation from the tyrants and oppressors who are drenching oppressed lands in blood is to rebuild the spirit of jihad.

"What is the matter with you that you do not fight for the weak, oppressed men, women, and children who say, 'Our Lord, save us from the town whose people are oppressors, and give us from You a protector and give us from You a helper'?" (Holy Quran 4:75)             

2) The Revival and Awakening of Muslim Peoples is Possible Through Learning and Living Islam: "The Guide of Knowledge is the Prophet Muhammad."

The remedy for all our bleeding wounds, especially the issue of Gaza, is the awakening of Muslim peoples. We strongly support the fatwas of scholars who emphasize the necessity of fighting against Zionist occupation regimes and their supporters all over the world, the struggle for the liberation of Gaza, Jerusalem, and Al Aqsa Mosque from captivity and occupation, and Muslims who actively support this struggle, and all protests and activities carried out in this regard.

3) The Preservation of Our Creed and Holy Sites is Possible by Being Strong: "The Prophet Muhammad is the Prophet of the Sword."

The "Al-Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem Cause" is a sacred and indispensable cause for Muslims. "The Jihad of Gaza, the Struggle for Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque" is the essence of this sacredness itself. This is also the underlying reason for the attacks by the Zionist occupation regime. The most appropriate response to ruthless attacks on our sacred values and beliefs is the establishment of military and political power.".

4) The Materialization of Brotherhood and Unity is Possible Through Mercy, Convergence, and Solidaridy: “Prophet Muhammad is the Prophet of Mercy.”

Leaders of non-Muslim countries have shown a united stance in supporting the Zionist occupiers. This picture has once again revealed the truth of "Infidelity is one nation." However, Gaza, which is suffering from unprecedented oppression, has been abandoned by the leaders of so-called Muslim countries. This is an unacceptable failure.

As part of the Islamic community, we have obligations to our oppressed brothers and sisters. These duties encompass various actions such as engaging in jihad for those capable, offering practical assistance, prayers, and support, advocating for boycotts against imperialist powers, organizing solidarity events, condemning oppressors, and fostering awareness within society. Building a strong sense of brotherhood and compassion among Muslims is key to overcoming fragmentation and weakness.

5) The Establishment of Social Justice is Possible with Islamic Justice: "Prophet Muhammed is the Prophet of Justice.”

The genocide committed in Gaza has shown that the concepts of rights and law proclaimed by the Western barbarity, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, are not realistic. International Law, the so-called Courts of Justice, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the United Nations Charter are nothing but shields that protect the oppressor. A peace that will encompass all of humanity is only possible with the justice of Islam.

6) Universal Peace and Tranquility is Possible with the Climate of Mercy of Islam: "Prophet Muhammed is the Prophet of Mercy."

The atrocities committed against Muslims in many parts of the world, especially in Gaza, have revealed the true face of the great devil USA and Western barbarity. Likewise, it has also exposed the true face of the domestic traitors who have closed their eyes to the truth and said, "HAMAS is a terrorist organization." Those who put their conscience on the shelf when the victims of oppression are Muslims will be condemned to the dark pages of history.

The existence of peoples who curse the inhuman genocide committed in Gaza, despite the rulers of imperialist states, is a hope for world peace. Greetings to the conscientious people who did not remain silent in the face of oppression and showed a humane stance against this wild atrocity, regardless of their religion, language, or race. The hope of being able to live together is to understand the spirit of the Madinah Charter.

7)  Individual, Family, and Social Peace is Only Possible Through Embracing Islam: "The Guide to Salvation is Prophet Muhammad.”

The corrupt circles are imposing a genderless and shameless society with their dirty hands. The so-called conventions and projects funded by Western countries are only producing useless generations and shamelessness for the entire world. The protection of the Muslim individual and society from this shameless flood is to embrace the understanding of chastity and honor.

The reconstruction of fractured families, disrupted peace, and sought-after happiness relies on adherence to divine standards. Building a language of love and affection between spouses serves as the guarantee of conjugal bliss. Child upbringing thrives on compassion and attention. The most beautiful ingredient for societal peace and harmony is maintaining family ties.

8) The Only Leader of Muslim Youth is the Prophet Muhammad: "The Most Beautiful Example is the Prophet Muhammad.”

The escalating incidents of violence, unrest, and trust crises in society have reached an unbearable level. Young people who are indifferent to spiritual values and raised away from Islamic education are struggling with psychological problems. The reasons behind the increasing suicide cases among young people lie in these reasons. This situation triggers societal chaos and a frenzied spirit. The revival of a Muslim youth that promises hope and future lies in adopting Islamic education and the example of the companions of the Prophet.

9) The Fountain of Morality and Spiritual Revival is the Sunnah: "The Unique Moral Exemplar is Prophet Muhammad.

"Say: 'If you truly love Allah, follow me, and Allah will love you and forgive your sins. Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Al-Imran-31) Maturity in worship and good manners is possible through adherence to the Quran and the Sunnah. The remedy for all troubles and sorrows lies in knowing, understanding, and living the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). (ILKHA)
