In the Name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful

The Sheikhdom of Sijjada Bakria and the Descendants of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) in the Arab and Islamic World has been following the unjust aggression of the Israeli occupation authorities and their continuous threats against the first qibla, the site of Prophet Muhammad’s ascension to Heaven (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him), and the birthplace of the Abrahamic faiths.

But they have not stopped with this. Rather, they have declared over and over again their intent to make the holy city of Jerusalem into the capital of the occupying power, in flagrant violation of all international conventions and agreements. This is besides the continuous threats against the Holy Sanctuary of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Palestinian Arabs as well as the ongoing aggressions against property and lives.

We call upon all people of honor in the Arab and Islamic world, all politicians of integrity, and all citizens of the civilized world to rise up to restore all rights to their rightful owners, to stop these aggressions and offenses, and to defend the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and the Arab and Islamic ummah (nation). This should be done through peaceful means of expression, international gathering platforms, and the use of other legitimate and legal means available to us.

Allah is the granter of all success—and it is He whose assistance we seek, and Him upon whom we depend.
