Al-Aqsa Mosque the story of a flag in Jerusalem
The courtyard of the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem was covered with blood. When I looked up, I saw a young
Palestinian waving at me with the Dome of the Rock. Then I did not remember the
wounded or the martyrs, I was entangled in the colors of the same flag. My
heart remembered some stories that made my heart bleed. Let me tell you this
story so that your heart will bleed like the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
Not so long ago, it was June 10,
1916. The Ottoman Empire was then established and Al-Quds was with the Muslims.
On this day, an agreement was reached between Sharif Mecca Hussein bin Ali and
British Lieutenant Colonel Henry McMahon, as a result of which the Arabs
revolted against the Ottoman Empire. This uprising was called the Great
Revolution of Arabia. When the coup was decided and the details were finalized,
the next step was to raise the flag of the Arab uprising and resistance.
The story of a flag in Jerusalem
The flag was raised by a British diplomat, Colonel Mark Sykes. Mark Sykes was very close to the Zionists and the announcement The Colonel played a key role in making this declaration of Israel a result of Balfour a reality. The flag of the Arab uprising against the Ottoman Empire raised by Sir Mark Sky’s included four colors.
It consisted of
three horizontal stripes of three colors, black, white, and green, and a
triangle with a red color. It was placed as a monument to the Khilafah. The red
color of the triangle was taken from the Hashmi dynasty, i.e. the aristocracy
of Makkah.
The Mohan Treaty was to come into
being after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. The flag was raised and the
uprising began. At one point, Jerusalem was besieged. The Ottoman
forces fought and the number of soldiers martyred around Jerusalem was 25,000,
according to one tradition. But these forces became helpless. Of the many
reasons for this helplessness, two must be mentioned here. The first reason was
the Arab uprising. On the one hand, British and allied forces were attacking Jerusalem.
On the other hand, the Arab
uprising cut off the Turkish supply line. The second reason was the withdrawal
of troops from India, which was so plentiful that it deprived the Allies of
manpower. Field Marshal Achanlak later admitted that if Indian troops were not
available to us, we would both be in World War II. Would have lost here, if you
are thinking that only Hindu and Sikh soldiers left India, then get rid of this
misconception.
Muslim soldiers were also at the
forefront of this work because a fatwa had been issued in India that the Turks
had no right to lead the Muslim world. This right belongs to the noble Mecca.
So when Jerusalem was snatched from the Muslims on December 11, 1917
and General Allen Bay entered as a conqueror, the conquerors were accompanied
by some people who had come from India and were chanting Takbir.
Those who did not visit from
India were the Arabs of the surrounding areas and was holding the flag of
'Al-Thawrat Al-Arabiya Al-Kubra'. The same four-colored flag which has been
mentioned above. The Sharif of Makkah now became the ruler of the Hijaz and was
called the King of the Hijaz, but he thought that this position was not enough
for him and that he should have been the king of the whole of Arabia. When the
Ottoman Caliphate came to an end, he proclaimed himself caliph.
This man who paved the way for the overthrow of the government is buried in Jerusalem. Is it any wonder that his soul wanders in the vicinity of Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem at night and sees what day my book of deeds has shown to the Muslims today? The power of the descendants of Sharif Mecca was later limited to Jordan.
One of their sons,
King Abdullah I, became King of Jordan. One day, King Salamat entered Al-Aqsa
Mosque in Jerusalem and a Palestinian fired three shots at him. He died. This Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem is still legally under the control of Jordan, but the King of
Jordan became a picture of helplessness. Have happened God knows whether this
helplessness reminds them of their mistakes that would later lead to the
establishment of Israel.
Today, the courtyard of the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem was covered with blood. A young Palestinian man was standing
next to the Dome of the Rock, holding the Palestinian flag. When I saw this
flag, I remembered the whole story because it was the same flag that was the
flag of the Arab uprising. In the shadow of that flag, British General Allen
Bay captured Jerusalem.
Centuries of Muslim rule over Jerusalem
ended in the shadow of that flag. Interestingly, the same flag of the Arab
uprising is still the national flag of Egypt, Jordan, Sudan, Kuwait, the UAE,
Syria, Libya, and Yemen. Whether it was the fault of the Ottoman Empire or the
Arab rebels, this is a separate debate. But there is no other opinion that the
same uprising played an important role in overthrowing the Muslims from Jerusalem.
Today, the Israeli army is torturing the worshipers in Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem and the
Muslims are resisting by holding the same flag. They ended their rule in Jerusalem.
History repeats itself and makes us cry
