Starvation by Design-Not Scarcity

As thousands of children starve in Gaza as rulers dine in palaces, this searing episode holds up the mirror of history—contrasting the selfless leadership of Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA) with today’s indifferent Muslim rulers. The sheikh draws powerful contrasts between famine relief 1,400 years ago and man-made starvation today, forcing listeners to confront a bitter reality: the Ummah is not facing a resource crisis—it is facing a crisis of leadership, accountability, and action. Will we continue offering empty du‘a while ignoring the divine obligation to relieve suffering and establish justice?
