The tenacity of Gazans or the faith that amazes the world

Today, the strong faith, faith and resilience of Gazans, left to their own devices in the face of unprecedented suffering, is being shown live around the world. In this process, humanity wakes up and sees the real world, albeit dimly. This created a new phenomenon in the Western world. As in the aftermath of 9/11, people are turning to the Qur'an for the source of this steadfast belief. But this time the situation is different. Such enthusiasm has not arisen to "weaponize" the media, politics, and the film industry against Muslims at the expense of large sums of money, and to malign Islam and Muslims through false claims such as the "War on Terror."  

On the contrary, according to The Guardian, "today Westerners are reading the Koran to understand the unprecedented resilience, faith, moral strength and character of the Palestinians."

Meanwhile, thousands of people are realizing the truth they are discovering and feeling the transformative effect of the Qur'an on their bodies. This is encouraging many to convert to Islam and others to look at it from a new perspective.  

We are connecting to the Quran more than ever, its verses are coming alive before our eyes. The divine word of the Creator helps us to understand the terrible events that are happening right now, to know the truth and to see the light behind the darkness.

Allah describes himself in the greatest verse of the Qur'an. His attributes are mentioned in the Mushaf - His eternal life and presence, and we seek refuge in Him alone and pray to Him alone. God's guidance and incomparable help leads believers to salvation in a world that is not free from mistakes, losses and false promises.

No matter how powerful the pharaohs of the time are, they cannot escape the justice of God. Muslims are commanded to protect the truth even with their lives and blood.

For this reason, the people who have been living in the desire to build a just society all their lives are confused by the Qur'an today.  

In particular, Megan Rice, a popular blogger, active reader and content creator in the West   He is one of the people who became interested in the Qur'an because of the bravery of the Gazans. His conversation on the TikTok account, which is a sign of faith and gratitude of the Palestinians who lost everything, led the viewers to wonder. A self-described "non-religious person," Megan began reciting the Koran for the first time and invited listeners to her virtual "World Religions Club." In doing so, he quickly discovered that the Word of God aligned with his core values of "anti-oppression." This completely changed his previous misconceptions about Islam. Within a month, he declared his acceptance of Islam and recited the word of faith.

Although Megan has since continued her personal study of the Qur'an outside of social media, her "Quran Book Club" program on TikTok has received more than 16 billion views.  

Another example is Nefertari Moon. She said that she is married to a Muslim who does not follow her religion, and that her husband says that he believes in God, but in reality he lives far from Islamic practices. Nefertari also became a believer after she began reading the Qur'an to better understand the faith and character of the Palestinians. He explains his motivation as follows: "I wanted to know why people glorify God when they are faced with death... After reading the verses of the Qur'an, I was deeply moved by the words of God. I became emotionally attached to the Qur'an."

In fact, it is true - the Qur'an teaches us the truth of life. We are tempted by the loss of the most important and beloved things in our lives. Whoever perseveres and surrenders to God sincerely and acknowledges that everything belongs to Him will surely be rewarded more:

"Surely, We will test you with fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and crops. Give glad tidings to those who persevere - to those who, when calamity strikes them, say: "Indeed, we belong to God, and to Him we shall surely return." Those are the ones who will receive blessings and mercy from their Lord. Those are the ones who find guidance." (2-155-157)
