By Jamari Mohtar | January 28, 2025 THE ESOTERIC LESSONS OF ISRA' MI'RAJ IN THE GAZA WAR VIA THE LENS OF SEERAH As the Gaza ceasefire entered its eighth day on Jan 27, Muslims the world over commemorate Isra’ Mi’raj on that day – 27 Rejab (the 7th month) of 1446 Hijriah (Islamic calendar). And the lessons of Israʾ and Miʿraj as seen from the perspective of the Seerah (the study of important events during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him) is very much relevant in analysing the broader context of what would be the outcome of the ceasefire, and even the Gaza War itself....

After reading thrice, the JP article below, I think it’s just a matter of an Israeli think tank … not Merkeva tank huh …trying to cancel Iranian culture, accentuate the Shia-Sunni divide so that we gado-gado among ourselves n finally an attempt to blacklist the Malaysian company for sanction.

The fact that the Israeli distributor of the movie is defending the screening of the movie in Israel is symptomatic of the deep division in Israeli society, this time in the cultural field.

Perhaps it just shows certain segments in Israel may want a rapprochement with Iran no matter how impossible it may seem. Just my two-cent.

Btw cancel culture becomes a famous terminolgy in the academic world ever since the Maidan Revolution of 2014 when the US neocons were very successful in engineering regime change in Ukraine.

Canceling a culture is encapsulated in the more all embracing term of Russophobia which in a way is akin to Islamophobia, when the US n EU made an intense attempt at canceling Russian culture by suppressing its cultural, language n literary activities throughout Europe since the Ukraine war.

It’s like an attempt at a cultural, language n literature genocide of Russia all in one go. Again just my two-cent.

Gindin’s expose also revealed that the film has been marketed outside of Iran through a Malaysian company, which apparently masks the export of Iranian media, and is not subject to sanctions.

🇷🇺 Russian President Vladimir Putin kisses the Holy Quran handed to him as a gift from Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov 🥹❤️

۞ لَتَجِدَنَّ أَشَدَّ ٱلنَّاسِ عَدَ ٰ⁠وَةࣰ لِّلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱلۡیَهُودَ وَٱلَّذِینَ أَشۡرَكُوا۟ۖ وَلَتَجِدَنَّ أَقۡرَبَهُم مَّوَدَّةࣰ لِّلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱلَّذِینَ قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّا نَصَـٰرَىٰۚ ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ بِأَنَّ مِنۡهُمۡ قِسِّیسِینَ وَرُهۡبَانࣰا وَأَنَّهُمۡ لَا یَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ﴿ ٨٢ ﴾

You will surely find the most bitter towards the believers to be the Jews and polytheists and the most gracious and affectionate to be those who call themselves Christian. That is because there are priests and monks among them and because they are not arrogant.

Quran: Al-Māʾidah 5, Ayah 82

Veteran journalist Pepe Escobar describes the waiting game played by Iran in retaliating to the Israeli assassination of Hamas Politburo Chief Ismail Haniyeh as a masterclass of strategic ambiguity to rattle Israel’s nerves, and this will persist for some more time.

For Iran the key issue is how to carefully calibrate a response that will make Israel regretful, but will not lead to bleeding wounds to Israel. At the same time Iran also needs to buttress its homeland security and defence from potential pre-emptive or counter-retaliation strikes from Iran.

This is where a helping hand from Russia came. Analysts noted that soon after former Russian Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu’s visit to Tehran, a stream of Russian aircraft landed in Iran, reportedly carrying offensive and defensive military hardware, including the game-changing Murmansk-BN system, capable of jamming and scrambling all sorts of radio signals, GPS, communications, satellites, and electronic systems up to 5,000km away.

According to Escobar, this is the ultimate nightmare for Israel and its Nato helpers. If deployed by Iran, the Murmansk-BN electronic warfare system can literally fry the whole Israeli grid, which is only 2,000km away, targeting military bases and also the electric grid.

May Allah bless Malaysia - the first Asian nation to receive Palestinians as part of efforts to help victims of the 10-month destruction of their territory by Israeli forces.

More than 40 victims of Israeli genocide, with the youngest just eight months old, accompanied by 86 next of kin were evacuated from Gaza n arrived in Malaysia on Friday.

More than half of the patients were children, including 19 under the age of 12.

Malaysia is the first Asian nation to receive Palestinians as part of efforts to help victims of the 10-month destruction of their territory by Israeli forces.

Whatever telah happened to Israeli intelligence? Always make the wrong conclusions.

1) Do you know the story behind this iconic photo?

On May 16, 2021, the Israeli regime bombed Yahya Sinwar's house in Khan Yunis, intending to assassinate him. Hebrew media confidently reported that the mission had succeeded and that they had eliminated the Hamas field commander.

But just a few days later, Yahya Sinwar reappeared at the bombed site, took a pose on his own couch and took this photo.

This unexpected act made various factions of the Israeli regime very furious. Sinwar effectively mocked the Israeli army and intelligence embarrassing them effectively 🙂

2) Huge embarassment making Israeli intelligence looks like a fool: A billboard in Israel with pictures of Hamas leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Muhammad Deif, with the Hebrew word "eliminated" above when Muhammad Deif is still alive.

Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya told Al Jazeera on 13 July in a message addressed to Netanyahu: “Mohammed Deif is listening to you now and laughing at your empty statements.”

There is a speculation that the response from Iran for the assassinations of Hamas Politburo Chief, Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah’s Commander Fuad Sukr will be in the form of a special military operation (SMO) of the Axis of Resistance that is coordinated by Iran.

The response can take place at any moment from now, and this has created a phenomenon of psychological warfare where Israel is in the grip of panic, resignation and despondency.

The Chief Negotiator’s eerie last words
——————————————
The last known public words of assassinated Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh have been revealed.

Speaking to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei before he was assassinated in Tehran, he cited Quranic verse about life, death, immortality n resilience.

“It is Allah who gives life n causes death n Allah is all aware of all actions … ‘if a leader leaves, another will arise’, “ Haniyeh said in Arabic.

He made the comments on television just hours before dying in the Iranian guesthouse he was put in.

We already hv one SMO conducted by Russia in Ukraine. Now a new SMO seems to be in the offing …

In a letter to the UN Security Council, stressing "a serious violation against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran", Tehran officially communicates, "we will authorize a SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION against the enemy."

Meanwhile the US Embassy in Lebanon urged US citizens to leave the country immediately on any available flights due to the deteriorating security situation in the region.

“We encourage those who wish to depart Lebanon to book any ticket available to then, even if that flight does not depart immediately or does not follow their first-choice route. US citizens who lack funds to return to the US may cintact the embassy for financial assistance via repatriation loans,” the diplomatic mission said in a statement.

The embassy noted that while several airlines hv suspended or cancelled flights, US citizens should look for commercial transport options that are still available, as military evacuations of civilians are rare.

“إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّآ إِلَيْهِ رَٰجِعُونَ”.
حَسْبُنَا اللهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيْلُ

Inna lillahi wainna ilaihi rajiun.

The Head of Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in his Tehran residence, along with one of his guards. Hamas confirmed the martyrdom of Ismail, noting that he was killed in a "treacherous Zionist airstrike on his residence in Tehran".

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Iran also announces the martyrdom, saying: "We are studying the dimensions of the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas' political bureau, and will announce the results of the investigation later."
Haniyeh was in Tehran to participate in the inauguration of Iran’s new President Masoud Pezeshkian.

And this may escalate the whole situation in the region, especially as it comes in conjunction with the failed targeting of Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in an Israeli strike on a residential building in the Southern Suburb of Beirut. Fuad Shukr, also known as Hajj Mohsen, a high-ranking figure in Hezbollah who reportedly heads the resistance group's precision missile project. US authorities describe him as a “senior advisor” to Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah.

So now the big question is, what’s going to happen? What will the repercussions be? Where is the region going to go? This may force Iran to retaliate. Haniyeh was killed on its soil. So we are facing a very complicated situation.
