In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful
One of the most important targets
in the assassination attempt that was conducted on September 9, 2025 by Israel was
Khaled Meshaal, but he survived. What many people probably don’t know about him
is that this is not the first time Israel tried to assassinate him. In September
of 1997 six agents of Mossad went to Amman, Jordan on fake Canadian passports
armed with fentanyl, a lethal toxin. On the morning of September 25, they delivered
the toxin to Khaled Meshaal via an aerosol device and then tried to escape the
crime scene. Fortunately, his body guards caught two of them. Upon investigation
they revealed their plan. The then king of Jordan, king Hussain asked Netanyahu
(who was the prime minister of Israel at that time also) to send the antidote
of the toxin. Bill Clinton, the then president of USA, compelled Netanyahu to
comply with king Hussain’s request, which he grudgingly did. Under the deal,
Israel not only provided the antidote but released the ailing Sheikh Ahmed
Yassin, the quadriplegic founder and spiritual leader of Hamas along with 70
other Palestinian prisoners. As mentioned in Quran “And it is not [possible]
for one to die except by permission of Allah at a decree determined.” (3:145)
Israeli plan failed and Khaled Meshaal left the hospital alive. After his
recovery Khaled Meshaal became famous as a living martyr.

Fast forward 28 years and Israel, again under the leadership of Netanyahu, attempted to kill Khaled Meshaal. Once again Allah demonstrated to the world that “And it is not [possible] for one to die except by permission of Allah at a decree determined.”. Once again, he came out alive and once again Netanyahu is humiliated. These are signs of Allah for believers to not loose hope and have trust in Allah. Unfortunately, majority of the leaders of Muslim countries, especially Arabs, are cowards who think that if they become friends of Israel their lives will be safe. More unfortunate is the role of our religious scholars who do not highlight these things.
