A student who visited Palestine reports the slogans raised by Hamas that agree to peace, and the prevalence of ignorance regarding the oneness of Allah in the West Bank.

The student : On the walls of our brothers in Hamas, there is a banner that says, "Yes to peace, no to surrender." I spoke in one of the mosques and said that the so-called peace is surrender, because true peace does not exist except from an Islamic state to a disbeliever state where the benefit returns to the Islamic state. I said this is ignorance of our religion. But what I truly did not intend to speak about was the spread of what is called the blue bead in the West Bank, on the houses and in the cars, as if this matter is an established fact among the people. If they do not hang a blue bead, they hang small sandals. I know what they believe about it.

The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!
The student : I spoke in one of the mosques and said, "What kind of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) is this, if we look away from the blue bead and believe that it benefits us?"

The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!
The student : This is shirk (associating partners with Allah) itself.

The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!
The student : Then, in the weddings, any wedding that takes place there has dough stuck on the door, dough with a rose in it. If the dough is stuck, they say he will not divorce her.

The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
The student : And if it falls, they say he will divorce her.

The Shaykh : ...
The student : So I said, "This is a flaw in tawhid (the oneness of Allah), my brothers."

The Shaykh : This is tatayyur (taking an omen as a bad sign) and pessimism.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!
The student : So I said, "Where are the callers to tawhid (the oneness of Allah)? You want us to worship Allah through politics, but it is more important for us to know Allah (Mighty and Majestic)."

The Shaykh : They must rule by Islam.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : And they do not rule by Islam in their own affairs.
The student : Then I asked, "Do the people who write on the walls and buildings, do they receive a wage, or is it for the sake of Allah, meaning for the sake of reward?" He said, "They do not receive a wage." I said, "Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah), last year Hamas collected from Saudi Arabia, with certainty, five million riyals. I said, if it were distributed to the poor, by Allah, the people, by Allah, would be generous, by Allah, they have nothing. But what I saw in al-Aqsa, O Shaykh, I am telling you about what I saw and heard, meaning..."

The Shaykh : Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.
The student : ...nothing, meaning the reason is that there is no intermediary between me and what I saw.

The Shaykh : ...a scholar.
The student : A scholar, yes.

The Shaykh : Without intermediaries.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh: Yes.
