History Will Not Forget the Silence of Muslim Countries





 History Will Not Forget the Silence of Muslim Countries

History has shown time and again that no single enemy can defeat a nation or a region on its own. Before walls collapse, cracks appear from within; before an enemy attacks, negligence, division, and irresponsibility pave the way.

The enemy does not always lie in wait beyond the borders; sometimes, they hide in the opportunities we ourselves create through weakness, division, and poor decisions.

A house whose guardians compete with one another instead of protecting it will sooner or later succumb to danger. Nations are no different. Their downfall does not always begin with an enemy attack; sometimes, it begins at the moment when those in power forget their historical responsibility.

The Middle East today is the victim of a great historical tragedy. A region that was once a center of civilization, knowledge, trade, and culture in the world is now paying the price for years of war, division, and misguided political decisions. Of course, the interference of foreign powers in the fate of the Middle East cannot be denied. But one painful question remains: If the countries of the region had been united, if internal divisions had not prevailed over common interests, and if political leaders had placed the long-term interests of their peoples above short-term calculations, could others have determined the fate of the region so easily?

The problem is not merely the power of the enemy, but also the weakness of those who allow them to exploit existing vulnerabilities.

Palestine: A Wound That Tested the Conscience of the Region

Palestine is not merely a political issue; it is a historical test of sincerity, responsibility, and regional solidarity. Many governments have declared their support for Palestine for years, yet at critical moments, the gap between words and actions becomes strikingly apparent. While civilians bear the cost of war, destruction, and displacement, many governments remain preoccupied with political calculations, domestic concerns, and strategic interests.

But history judges not by slogans, but by actions.

The question future generations will ask is this: Who turned away from their responsibility when vulnerable people needed help, and who chose to accept it?

Egypt

Egypt is not only a neighbor of the Gaza Strip, but also a historic power in the Arab world. Its geographical position, political history, and cultural importance make it a significant regional actor.

Critics argue that Egypt could have provided more active support for the Palestinians, going beyond security considerations and political calculations. They contend that in times of crisis, nations expect major regional powers to consider not only their own interests, but also their humanitarian and historical responsibilities.

A country with such a history cannot remain indifferent and evade every form of responsibility.

Of course, future generations will ask all Muslim governments: When the suffering of the people of the region reached its peak, were your decisions made for humanitarian reasons, or merely for political reasons?

An Enemy May Become a Cause of Good, If God Wills

An Enemy May Become a Cause of Good, If God Wills Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) is not merely a proverb, but a reflection of deep life experience and faith. It is a saying shaped by years of human struggle, patience, and understanding. This expression suggests that life is not governed by blind chance; rather, it unfolds according to wisdom and meaning, even when events appear negative at first glance. At first, people naturally define  evil  as anything that disrupts their peace: failure, loss, rejection, opposition, or unexpected obstacles. Yet with time, many of these painful moments reveal themselves as turning points. Without certain hardships, a person might remain on the wrong path, never discover inner strength, or fail to grow emotionally and spiritually. Therefore, this proverb is not truly about an “enemy,” but about  how we perceive difficulties . The most important part of the saying lies in the phrase  “if God wills.”  This emphasizes that go...

The first forgiveness we must seek is from our own self

The first forgiveness we must seek is from our own self Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) If I were to ask forgiveness from someone in this world, I would begin with myself. Not out of selfishness, but out of honesty. Because upon closer examination, I realized that my greatest mistakes, my greatest failures, and my greatest injustices were not directed at others, but at myself. We usually understand forgiveness as a social concept; something that exists between me and another person. But we rarely consider that within ourselves, before anything else, there is a silent “other” whose rights have been violated for years: our own rights. I ask forgiveness from myself for the days when I was tired but did not allow myself to rest. For the nights when I wanted to cry but told myself I had to be “strong” and suppressed my emotions. For the times when I could have made a better decision for myself but, out of fear of others’ judgment, I did not ask for what I needed. I ask forgiveness from m...

From Flesh and Nail to Numbers

From Flesh and Nail to Numbers Author: Gouya Roshan  (Güya Aydın)  A Reflection on the Collapse of Human Bonds in the Age of Materialism My words may sound bitter and thought-provoking. Yet I am speaking of a rift that has slowly and silently opened its mouth between people; a rift that has deepened not through conflict, but through numbers and prices. The very bonds that were once considered “natural” and inseparable are now bending under the weight of calculations. The tragedy lies not in money itself being inherently bad, but in the moment it becomes the measure of human value, because then, it destroys relationships. Today, materialism is the dominant word. It has always been said that flesh and nail are inseparable, siblings, mother and child. Bonds that should be unbreakable are now gradually collapsing under the influence of economic standards and material values. It seems we have forgotten that money implicitly makes this separation possible. If only the world had deve...
