For some time now, wars have been ongoing in both the region and the world between Islamic and Western countries. Some of these conflicts have lasted for over a year, while others have only recently begun and are still unfolding with intensity. Notable examples include the Russia-Ukraine war, the ongoing conflict between the usurping Zionist regime of Israel and the people of Palestine and Gaza, and most recently, the scattered and nighttime warfare between Iran and Israel.
The key lessons and reflections that Islamic countries and the Muslim Ummah should draw from these events are summarized in the following points:
1. First, the Western world will never reach an honest agreement, lasting peace, or permanent stability with the Islamic world. Instead, it consistently hides its wolf-like intentions under the guise of morality and conscience. When the opportunity arises, it does not hesitate for a moment to overthrow and strike Islamic countries one after the other. This is the nature and essence of disbelievers: they employ deception, trickery, and cunning, waiting for the right moment to implement their malicious plans. 2. Second, Western countries invest heavily in strengthening their military systems and spare no expense in establishing nuclear power plants. Conversely, they demand that Islamic nations refrain from such activities and remain defenseless. Through this, they aim to maintain absolute dominance, freely exploit the human resources, natural wealth, and geographical advantages of Islamic countries, and channel those benefits back to their own nations. 3. Third, by closely observing the current state of wars in the region and the world, it becomes evident that most of the aggressor nations are those with superior military power. When conditions favor them, they waste no time in launching brutal and unrelenting attacks on weaker countries.
This leads to an important lesson: Islamic countries must make every possible effort to strengthen their military forces and weaponry. They should never accept advice or pressure from any foreign power—especially regarding the abandonment of weapons or nuclear development. Rather, they must secure their independence and avoid relying on others for their security. History has proven that Islamic countries that have sought refuge in the arms of disbelievers have not achieved security. On the contrary, they have weakened over time, and their religious and national identities have been threatened and manipulated.
Unfortunately, some Islamic nations, whether out of negligence or willful ignorance, extend a hand of friendship to the enemies of Islam and deposit their financial resources into Western international institutions—without the slightest concern for the dire situations of their Muslim neighbors.
Therefore, it is to be concluded that every Islamic country must view its strength in securing independence, freeing itself from both covert and overt Western occupation, and developing its own military industries and weapons systems. They must also utilize their natural resources, economic capabilities, and available opportunities to build a robust military industry and claim a strong position in global competition—so they will never become a pawn in the hands of their enemies.
If Islamic countries remain heedless to these truths or continue to trust their enemies, there is no doubt that their collapse will follow. At that point, no one will come to their aid and assistance, and they will merely become tools in the hands of those who seek to dominate them.
