The natural disasters that man has been exposed to since time immemorial are among the most painful incidents, and metaphysical explanations of events and phenomena were usually resorted to. Rather, a number of myths were associated with nature events and the wrath of the gods, but the scientific explanation solved part of the problem, in terms of determining the places that are expected to Knowing volcanoes or earthquakes, without having the capabilities to predict the time and timing of their occurrence, so that disasters that exceed human capabilities and capabilities increase the crisis that societies suffer from and people live under their impact.
As if the incapacity and weakness that surrounds man, no matter how great his scientific conquests, is a reminder to him of the unity of human destiny, and a push for him towards solidarity instead of division and conflict, and giving priority to the moral dimensions and aspects that triumph for man, preserve his dignity and provide him with the conditions of a decent life, at the expense of the interests that are inherent in greed and a tendency towards control. Hegemony is in complete degradation of morals, just as these painful incidents are a factor to highlight our responsibility towards each other and in our relationship with the planet, and from that responsibility at the present moment is the duty of human solidarity with the Turkish and Syrian peoples, providing all means for that, and avoiding controversy in its various aspects, political and religious. , or falling into the logic of crisis merchants, who hunt disasters and wars to get rich, and what matters to us here is the victory of man and life, for man and life together are a sacred matter.
The forms of discourse that direct people to a kind of intimidation regarding divine punishment offend the Creator, may His Majesty be glorified, as well as deeply offend religion, as they limit it to the side of torment without mercy, and the mercy of the Lord of the Worlds encompasses everything, did He not say in His dear book “My mercy encompasses everything "
The double suffering of the Syrian people... from the barrels of the dictator to the earthquake
The world knows permanent tensions, from violence and wars that do not end in one place until they begin in another, and a relentless pursuit to possess power and money, and then use them to subjugate and humiliate people, meaning that there is a continuous waste of human dignity, so the one who has power in an international context does not resort to the moral tendency He does not arouse in his hearing the legitimacy of the truth and the justice of peoples’ demands in their attachment to lofty ideals that triumph over man, trampling others and turning them into ashes in order to satisfy his entrenched greed for power and wealth.
The situation of the Syrian people requires urgent intervention by adopting multiple paths to mitigate the consequences of the earthquake, as they already live in the open air, and there are no efforts to provide them with shelter after the earthquake or sponsoring parties that open the paths and crossings for them to receive humanitarian aid or the entry of relief teams.
Humans are innate to love power, and are innate with the tendency to dominate others, and perhaps the Syrian people in the last decade are among the peoples who have suffered doubly from the effects of injustice and domination, in what reminds us of the tyrants who wrote their name in history with the blood of their people, or with the ashes of the cities they turned into A burning ball of flame, and after that it became rubbish as is the wounded Aleppo, due to the scorched earth strategy that found a laboratory for experimentation in Syria at the hands of bloodthirsty people and human enslavement, an abortion of a noble revolution, the least of which it demanded of freedom and justice.
These are the ordeals of the Syrian people that we should not ignore when talking about their pain, after displacement, the destruction of homes and sad stories of suffering, which people should always remember. The two countries are together, which requires a purely human dimension in dealing with crises, even if the crises hide behind them traffickers of tragedies and pains.
The interaction was quick to reach the cities of Turkey, to contribute to saving the lives of the stranded and providing them with urgent relief, but the Syrian situation - even though Syria was not the epicenter of the earthquake - remains more difficult despite the Arab countries and peoples' willingness to help them, so that the Syrians there found themselves facing multiple oppression. Sources.
After the displacement, killing, and destruction of the structures, we find talk on behalf of the regime’s spokesmen in Syria, indicating the need to pass through a government whose ship docks over hundreds of thousands of corpses, as if there was not an iota of human spirit left through which the rules and borders of the conflict that were drawn inside the Syrian territory would be transcended, in order to deliver Support for those stranded in affected areas.
Such an aspect is what can be referred to regarding the total neglect of Syria by some, as dictated by economic and political interests and motives, and this pattern in which disasters and crises are an entry point to enrichment and wealth, or in which solidarity is conditional on a number of restrictions and calculations, and this is a moral crisis in essence, which must be overcome.
The situation of the Syrian people requires urgent intervention by adopting multiple paths to mitigate the consequences of the earthquake, as they already live in the open, and there are no efforts to provide them with shelter after the earthquake or sponsors who open the paths and crossings for them to receive humanitarian aid or the entry of relief teams, and if that is done, then the matter happens with restrictions and conditions. , and pressure should be exerted to mitigate it and remove the political aspects in a moment of humanitarian crisis:
First: The UN Security Council, the United Nations or the Organization of Islamic Cooperation
If Turkey - despite the capabilities it has, and the aid that has flown in - accelerates time to save the stranded, then the situation of the Syrian people in the areas controlled by the opposition or the regime needs an exceptional logic in managing the crisis, a logic that is under the auspices of international institutions such as The United Nations, or the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, despite the freezing of Syria's membership.However, the effectiveness of international institutions, to the extent that they help other countries in the context of wars and conflicts, is required to take action to ensure rescue and relief in northern Syria. We say this while we are aware that what really controls the international institutions’ account is the logic of interests and the division of influence, not the care of international peace and security, but the internationalization The Syrian crisis should lead to the internationalization of interaction with its disasters and the search for urgent humanitarian solutions to it, instead of a comprehensive closure, or the passage of aid according to the parties and axes of the conflict. Victory for the human being should be the first, not only in rescue, but also in the aftermath of the earthquake and war.
Second: the active forces in the conflict inside the Syrian territory
Just as the struggle was to divide influence inside Syria, the active forces in the Syrian land must find a formula to open humanitarian crossings that go beyond the calculations of the conflict on the basis of "opposition / regime".
Third: Arab and Islamic countries
Despite the freezing of Syria's membership in many Arab and Islamic institutions, the Arab countries have channels of dialogue and communication with the various parties to the conflict on the Syrian soil that need investment in the current context to provide relief to those stuck under the rubble or those who are in the open because of the earthquake or the war. Arab countries and peoples for this, as the current crisis will reveal to relief institutions and bodies the extent of the catastrophe experienced by the Syrian people in tents and destroyed homes.
The current moment, by its very nature, should be a moment of victory for the human aspects at the expense of the complexities of the political and military conflict.
The catastrophe that befell the Turkish and Syrian peoples should be the moment of the birth of the human side and its supremacy at the expense of the conflict of interests, and especially the crisis that the Syrian people suffer mainly from. It disappears a little, to bring in its place other aspects that remained distant in a climate dominated by gunpowder and the language of force and bloody violence, at the expense of the moral tendency and the human spirit.
Perhaps the purpose of the birth of the human side is an attempt on both the popular and official levels to consider the crisis of a people who live a sad story and a painful narrative, whose pain multiplied with the earthquake. Therefore, pressure should be placed on the regime in all available forms to make room for the distinction between the political and military conflict that made it look at the Syrian people from a perspective Through "The Lion or No One", to humanitarian reasons, and we do not need to remind that the pains and pains of loss under the impact of natural disasters are multiplied, so how about if peoples are experiencing other pains related to their existential destiny in the first place.
Here, the political and religious discourse and relief organizations should be imbued with a victorious view of life, and the life of a person is greater in the sight of God than all sanctities, and therefore granting life to the stranded is an authentic expression of the religious spirit that glorifies the honorable and backward person.
Syria and Turkey... the need for human solidarity
Some contexts in which turmoil prevails require directing consideration to the human side in dealing with issues raised by events and disasters, and not only looking at the repercussions and consequences of those disasters, or preoccupation with some questions that draw awareness towards religious aspects or patterns of wrong recall at the wrong time. , which reflects an imbalance in the awareness of the absolute mercy that the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, bestows upon His creation, and also reflects a tendency to confuse the cosmic dimension with the legitimate religious aspect, which results in a defect in perception and understanding.
Natural disasters are often viewed as divine punishment and torment, so some shift from a place of religious reminders and preaching to presenting religious clippings that enjoy people’s pain, or rather, science and knowledge are absent in knowing the natural laws and norms that take place on existence and should be aware of them. Indeed, there is nothing like it. With the Syrian people confronting the tyranny of a tyrannical authority, or Turkey’s quest for progress and restoration of sovereignty and position in the international and regional conflict.
At the heart of this is a battle raging with soft tools to restore identity features that have been swept away under the winds of forced modernization. It worked to dismantle the system of societal values that have an Islamic tint that connects it to the spirit of the East, before locating a model that bears in its genes a clash with religion and Islamic civilizational identity due to Ataturk’s admiration for Jacobite secularism. French.
In these cases, which are repeated every moment and time to express a crisis of religious awareness that increases the flattening of thought and harms the features of the Islamic vision more than it serves it, silence is wisdom and necessity, in accordance with the hadith of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, “Whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent.” As for saying good, it is a reminder of the symbiotic and solidarity dimensions that the Islamic value system is full of, which are aspects of solidarity that exist with the absolute human beings.
The forms of discourse that direct people to a kind of intimidation regarding divine punishment offend the Creator, may His Majesty be glorified, as well as deeply offend religion, as they limit it to the side of torment without mercy, and the mercy of the Lord of the Worlds encompasses everything, did He not say in His dear book, “My mercy encompasses everything?” It is one of the arbitrators.
The Qur’anic discourse was also consistent with establishing an understanding that goes beyond the religious heritage that human consciousness was full of, with what legends left behind about the gods’ conflict, anger, and vengeful tendencies.
Also, this discourse excludes the religious dimension and creates a state of contradiction between religion and science and between the Qur’anic discourse and scientific discourse or the requirements of scientific consideration in the interpretation of phenomena, without forgetting that God’s power encompasses everything, and His will and decree in existence are irreversible, but the development of scientific awareness is consistent with The discourse of mercy in the Qur’an will make science and religion compatible with serving and caring for man. Rather, it will make the Islamic discourse itself a refuge for man from the horrors left by disasters on the survivors, or on the entire human consciousness with regard to the question of evil in existence. Mercy is one of the Qur’anic colleges, and it is valuable. Centrality and a principle that transcends the imperfect human perceptions, which try to cover their own obsessions and self-contradictions with religious busa at times.
It is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an, which should be recalled in this context, the saying of the Creator, Glory be to Him, “And whoever revives it, it is as if he saved all people.” In moments of drowning or earthquakes and in all accidents, natural disasters and wars, one of the secondary purposes in the noble verse, which should constitute the obsession of the entire Islamic and human consciousness at the present moment with the earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria, because the earthquake, and all events may be a source for the person himself to life, With it, spiritual awakening is achieved, and the human sense and feeling that may be subject to dullness grow. Separation from human feeling does not come with death or the departure of the soul from the body, but rather with separation from the pain of others, and concern for human issues, which develops a sense of collective responsibility and merciful relations between human beings, which mitigate forms of injustice. prevailing disparity.
In conclusion, perhaps the current moment, in the context of the devastating and violent earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria, needs to be an impetus for human victory in the Arab and Islamic worlds, and for the intensification of official and popular forms of cooperation and solidarity, from a humanitarian standpoint and through the bonds of brotherhood and the human dimension that transcend the calculations of narrow interests and political conflicts. It is required in the relationship between all human beings, so how about those who share common bonds? Crises need to be a springboard for uniting wills and a catalyst for dissolving differences and overcoming bumps for the sake of man and life.
And just as the political conflict should be overlooked for the sake of the Syrian people, the political dispute or the position on the President of Turkey, or a specific political approach, should not be present in solidarity with Turkey, but even employing that in the Turkish context itself would be an expression of a crisis, which we hope will It goes beyond deepening the noble human feeling of the pain of those affected by the disaster and solidarity with them in various forms of solidarity.
