Revolutions are not fleeting moments that pass over the surface of time; they are earthquakes that shake the earth to reshape history. They are the labor pains that give birth to nations, and they are the hours that sow the seeds of dignity for the future. The revolution does not express a temporary anger or a fleeting strike; rather, it is an existential call that screams against injustice. It is the moment of redemption that redefines humanity and the meaning of being human, inscribing with blood on the pages of freedom the retrieval of a homeland. In this context, the flood comes not as a military confrontation or a political event, but as a comprehensive civilizational moment that has restored the compass of identity to the nation, bridging history and the future in a single tableau of struggle, which began in Palestine and will return to liberate Palestine.

 Inference... At the Great Turning Point

When the first spark ignited in Palestine, the scene appeared as if the giant was waking from a long slumber; as if the nation, with heavy steps, began to shed the shackles of humiliation to reclaim its lost pride. The "Flood of Al-Aqsa" came as a crown for these uprisings, proclaiming that Palestine is not merely a local or even regional issue, but a global icon of dignity and resilience. Al-Aqsa, which has always represented more than just a mosque, became the focal point of a cosmic battle that embodies the struggle for identity. Here, in the heart of Gaza, the nation proved that true strength is not measured by the material power of weapons, but by the depth of faith in a just cause, where words and blood unite in a single epic.

 Between History and the Future... Revolutions as Civilizational Crossings

History is merely a series of great transformations that have changed the course of humanity; therefore, revolutions are not just immediate movements, but bridges that connect eras. The French Revolution, which abolished the monarchy, marked the beginning of a new era of freedom and equality, while the Industrial Revolution shattered the constraints of traditional economics, heralding the age of modernity. In the Arab world, the first revolutions against occupation were a restoration of national dignity, which did not stop at political liberation, but transcended it toward building a society of rights, freedom, and justice. And despite the setbacks of the Arab Spring, the flame ignited in those squares has not been extinguished; rather, it has transformed into revolutionary waves waiting for a flood to elevate them and topple the tyrants and oppressors.

 Al-Aqsa: A Qibla and a Cause for Liberation and Humanity

Thus, the flood is not merely a chapter in the book of the Palestinian Israeli conflict; it is a manifestation of a struggle for a deeper right. It is a battle for the restoration of the spirit and the revival of the values that have eroded under the weight of occupation and tyranny. Al-Aqsa Mosque is not just a sacred place, but a global symbol of justice and the rejection of oppression. From the flood to the revolution, peoples have united in a single cry declaring that liberation is not a distant dream, but a reality born from the womb of will.

 Revolutions and the Deluge... A Duality of Liberation

The "Arab Spring" was like the rising of a new sun on the horizon of freedom; those revolutions, ignited by Tunisia and Egypt, announced that peoples are capable of breaking their chains. Then came the "Deluge of Al-Aqsa" to continue the journey, confirming that the liberation of Palestine is an inseparable part of the nation's struggle. The revolutions that called for dignity and freedom found in "Al-Aqsa" a unifying symbol that brings the nation together around a just cause that does not accept compromise.

 Challenges and Transformations... The Levant, the Land of Resurrection and Rebirth

The Syrian revolution, with all its complex interconnections, was and still is a lesson in understanding the intertwining of directions, perspectives, and local and international interests. Despite this, the revolution has demonstrated that resisting internal tyranny cannot be achieved without confronting external interventions, through revolutionary participation in Syria and strategic coalitions in Lebanon. In this context, the "Deluge of Al-Aqsa" came to affirm that the struggle for freedom cannot be separated from the struggle for national liberation.

 Egypt and Palestine... Unity of Destiny

Egypt is always the heart of the Arab nation. It has been and remains at the core of every movement striving to liberate Palestine. The Egyptian revolution was not merely a local movement; it was a cry aimed at reshaping the relationship between the people and the authority they chose through the ballot boxes. At every turn, Palestine remains Egypt's central cause, for liberating and restoring it are values, duties, and unwavering certainties.

 In Summary... Towards a Revival of the Nation

The deluge is not just an uprising; it is the culmination of painful labor, where the cries of revolutions soar to inscribe the moment of the birth of a homeland—a moment that restores hope for a nation forcibly taken from the hands of this community and rearranges its priorities, challenging every hardship. This nation, which has stood firm amidst the storms of pain, is capable of rising anew, from the heart of "Al-Aqsa," where the spirit emerges to restore for the nation its identity and dignity, guiding it on a new path towards truth, freedom, and justice. In this place, the future is written with the blood of martyrs, bearing the title "A Nation Capable of Restoring its Homeland."

Away from political analyses, social studies, and strategic thinking, and away from narratives of victory and defeat, mistakes and achievements, we stand at the threshold of the Quran, asking it with confidence in its clarity, certain of its decisive answers and effective methodology. We stand at the threshold of the Quran, asking like those who have exhausted all means, missed their targets, and lost their strength: Where do we turn? What are we waiting for?

The Quran tells us that we are not different in this matter. Many nations have been in our situation, and many peoples have passed through these trials, with the same outcomes and consequences. Allah says, “Then do they await except the way of the former peoples? But you will never find in the way of Allah any change, and you will never find in the way of Allah any alteration.” (Fatir: 43)

When I examined the methodologies and laws of the Quran, I found that the Ummah, and even the whole world, is preparing for a flood of three kinds:

First: Divine Flood

This is Allah’s intervention with punishment for the inhabitants of the earth due to their widespread injustice, arrogance, and denial that have corrupted nature, humanity, and values. Their disbelief has reached the point of obstinate defiance and arrogance. This divine flood will uproot them, destroy their falsehood, and return them to poverty, death, humiliation, and confusion. This is a promise from Allah to humanity, especially to the Ummah entrusted with carrying the message. Allah says, “And fear a trial which will not strike those who have wronged among you exclusively, and know that Allah is severe in penalty.” (Al-Anfal: 25) He also says, “Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned.” (Ar-Rum: 41), and “Then, did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them at night while they were asleep? Or did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them in the morning while they were at play?” (Al-A'raf: 97-98)

This punishment is a consequence of failing to fulfill the trust and neglecting to convey the message. In the hadith, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, before you call and you are not answered, before you ask and not given, and before you pray for victory and won’t be granted.” (Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi, Al-Tabarani, and Al-Bazzar)

Therefore, it is said: Whoever commits a sin that causes all creatures, including humans, moving creatures, animals, birds, and atoms to be his adversaries on the Day of Resurrection, because Allah withholds rain due to the evil of sin, which harms all inhabitants of the land and sea.

You see how afflictions and diseases continually affect crops, fruits, and animals, causing other linked afflictions. Every time people commit injustices and immoralities, their Lord sends new afflictions and diseases in their foods, fruits, air, water, bodies, shapes, and morals, all as a result of their deeds and injustices.

This warns of a flood of punishment that is very close. Repent sincerely while repentance is possible and its door is open, because no one can stop this flood, and no one can predict its size or timing. Only Allah knows His soldiers.

Second: Satanic Flood

This occurs when Allah enables the global tyranny machinery led by Trump, Netanyahu, and the evil human devils to destroy the Islamic Ummah, seize its wealth, and control its institutions. It empowers those aiming to eradicate all religious and moral values, openly announcing their plans, symbols, methods, and resources.

The Quran warns us about the dominance of disbelief and its control, highlighting the danger of disbelievers seizing control of affairs, which could lead to corruption of belief, morals, and the spread of injustice and oppression. Disbelievers in power means those who do not fear Allah or follow His guidance controlling life and society, leading to the loss of the weak’s rights and the spread of injustice and corruption. Allah says about them, “How [can there be a treaty] while, if they gain dominance over you, they do not observe concerning you any pact of kinship or covenant of protection?” (At-Tawbah: 8), and “And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able.” (Al-Baqarah: 217)

Third: Faithful Flood

It is one of Allah’s laws that if the nation exerts its efforts, Allah opens for them the doors of victory. Allah says, "[They continued] until, when the messengers despaired and were certain that they had been denied, there came to them Our victory, and whoever We willed was saved. And Our punishment cannot be repelled from the people who are criminals.” (Yusuf: 110)

Allah brings victory at unexpected times and with no foresight because victory is only from Allah. “And victory is not but from Allah.” (Al-Anfal: 10) The nation awaits Allah’s promise of empowerment and honor through the ages, as Allah says, “Allah has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them.” (An-Nur: 55) The meaning is that the period of respite had prolonged for them to the extent that they assumed there would be no victory for them in this world. Then Our victory came to them suddenly without prior sign.

Allah intervenes to remove oppression when it exceeds its limits. Allah says, “Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with ‘Aad - [With] Iram - who had lofty pillars, The likes of whom had never been created in the land? And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley? And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? [All of] whom oppressed within the lands. And increased therein the corruption. So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment. Indeed, your Lord is in observation.” (Al-Fajr: 6-14)

Preparing for the Flood

Remarkably, the methodology for preparing for any of these three floods is the same and has not changed. Every Muslim must commit fully to Islam in belief, worship, and conduct through two means:

First: Living by Islam

Meaning that one should invoke Islamic rulings in every matter, small or large, not taking any action or making any decision without knowing Islam’s ruling on it, complying with its command and avoiding its prohibition. Allah says, “It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair.” (Al-Ahzab: 36) And: “But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muhammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing] submission.” (An-Nisa: 65)

Second: Living for Islam

Meaning that a Muslim should dedicate their life to Allah’s religion, making every breath, step, movement, and moment in service of Islam and carrying its message, aligning their actions with Islamic principles. They should avoid aligning with falsehood or compromising with it. Allah says, “They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you].” (Al-Qalam: 9), and “And do not incline toward those who do wrong, lest you be touched by the Fire, and you would not have other than Allah any protectors; then you would not be helped.” (Hud: 113)

This requires anyone sincerely aligned with Islam to declare it clearly in word and deed: “And I am commanded to be of the Muslims [those who submit to Allah].” (An-Naml: 91), showing the guidance of Islam in our appearance, dealings, interests, occasions, joys, and sorrows. This is part of the means Allah speaks of: “And if it were not for Allah checking [some] people by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted, but Allah is full of bounty to the worlds.” (Al-Baqarah: 251)

This necessitates preparation in all its forms. By adopting this methodology, we are secure; any flood by Allah’s decree is not a problem because we are in the field of protection and the trench of salvation.

Finally, if you ask me which flood I expect to come, I would quickly answer without thinking or hesitation: Despite our shortcomings, we have good expectations of our Lord. He says in the hadith: “I am as My slave expects me to be; so let him expect of Me whatever he wishes, if it’s good he’ll have it, if it’s bad, he will have it.” (Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim) We expect good, safety, relief, joy, and victory from our Lord, not because we are deserving, but because He is worthy of it. Allah is predominant over His affair, but most people do not know.
