Besieged Gaza: A
Documented Genocide through Starvation and Systematic Killing Amid a
Humanitarian Tragedy, Suspicious International Silence, and Disgraceful
Complicity (Statement)
Besieged Gaza is enduring a
documented genocide, characterized by systematic crimes whose primary tools are
lethal starvation, suffocating blockade, widespread destruction, and the
deprivation of its people from clean water, food, medicine, and shelter.
This is not a war, but a
deliberate policy of killing — where hunger is turned into a weapon, thirst
into a slow death, and aid into empty, undelivered promises.
Children are dying simply
because they were born in Gaza, not because they carried weapons. Mothers are
buried in silence — not out of weakness, but because screaming cannot fill
stomachs or save lives.
All of this is unfolding
before the eyes of a world that has abandoned justice and normalized crime
through its silence and inaction.
Allah the Almighty says:
﴿وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوفِ وَالجُوعِ وَنَقصٍ
مِّنَ الأَموالِ وَالأَنفُسِ وَالثَّمَراتِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الصّابِرِينَ﴾ (البقرة: 155)
In light of this catastrophe,
the International Union of Muslim Scholars addresses the following messages:
First: To our
people in Gaza
We address you with pride and
admiration — O people of steadfastness and resilience, protectors of Al-Aqsa
and shield of the Ummah. Be patient, persevere, and remain steadfast. You are
on the path of truth, and Allah is with you and will never waste your deeds.
Your pure blood will remain a curse upon the occupation and a fire that awakens
the conscience of the heedless and the negligent.
Second: To the
leaders of the Islamic world
Whoever supports the enemy
with weapons, money, or media is complicit in its crimes and stands as a
criminal before religion and history. And whoever remains silent while capable
has betrayed Allah and His Messenger ﷺ,
and let down the Ummah and future generations. There is no excuse for those who
know yet remain silent, and no salvation for those who witnessed the massacre
and heard the cries of the hungry, then turned their backs.
History will not forgive, and
the blood of Gaza will remain a witness to the betrayal of the betrayers. The
punishment of Allah is inevitable.
Third: To the
free people and leaders of the world
What is happening in Gaza is
not a local issue, but a test of the world's humanity.
The time has come for action
that goes beyond sympathy — toward the immediate cessation of aggression.
Enough is enough! Isn’t it
time for the conscience of the world to awaken?
We call for relief, support,
and political and media pressure to break the siege and expose the shameful
international silence.
Fourth: To scholars,
preachers, speakers, and media figures
Your silence during a time of
massacres is betrayal, and your delayed stance is a breach of trust.
A sincere word from a pulpit,
a courageous stand in the media, or an honest post on social platforms can
awaken a conscience and break the wall of siege.
Do not forsake Gaza. Proclaim
the truth. You are accountable before Allah — and before the Ummah and history.
Fifth: To human rights
organizations and international courts
We call for urgent action to
prosecute the occupation for its crimes against humanity — especially the
deliberate starvation, one of the most heinous crimes prohibited by divine laws
and violated by false human principles.
We hold the United Nations
responsible for its failure to protect civilians and call upon it to fulfill
its moral and humanitarian responsibilities.
In Conclusion
The Zionist occupation is
committing genocide through starvation, siege, and total destruction — and the
world becomes complicit in this crime if it does not act immediately to stop
it.
We call on international
institutions and all living consciences to act urgently to save the remaining
lives and dignity in Gaza. This is the duty of Muslims before anyone else.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
قال رسول الله
ﷺ: "مَثَلُ المؤمنين في توادّهم وتراحمهم وتعاطفهم كمثل الجسد، إذا اشتكى منه
عضو تداعى له سائر الجسد بالسهر والحمى" (رواه مسلم)
﴿وَسَيَعْلَمُ
الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ﴾
