“I Am a Trust of Gaza — A Voice That Will Not Stay Silent”

I am a trust of that sacred land…

the land of prophets,

the soil of martyrs,

the land filled with stories of العظيم souls.

I am a trust of that land…

where Al-Aqsa is not just a place,

but an honor… a responsibility… a crown of dignity.

There is a storm inside me…

a voice that does not let me sit in peace.

This voice reminds me that I was not created just for myself.

I am a trust…

of those who live under oppression every day.

Who, for their land and their faith,

sacrifice even their lives.

I am a trust of those children…

who, despite their innocence, became symbols of courage.

I am a trust of those mothers…

whose tears write stories of patience.

I am a trust of those sisters…

who stand strong despite their pain.

And I am a trust of those brothers…

who are not only fighting for land,

but for their identity.

This is not a story…

this is the truth of my heart.

I am not just a writer…

I am a fighter.

My words are my weapon,

and my pain is my strength.

For this world, I may just be writing…

but in reality,

I live for a mission

given to me by my Lord.

And that mission is…

to stand with my oppressed brothers and sisters,

to feel their pain,

and to remind the oppressor of their limits.

This will not happen by my ability alone…

it will only happen by the will of my Lord.

Because this is not a small thing…

this is an honor.

A blessing not given to everyone.

And when this fire awakens within someone…

even the earth and sky bear witness.

People are left in wonder…

who are these people

who stand so firmly for truth?

They are the ones…

who do not just feel love,

but fight for it.

If you can truly understand this feeling…

you will realize

that standing for your people

is the greatest emotion of all.

And the one who falls on this path…

does not fall in defeat…

but rises in victory.

This is success in this world…

and in the hereafter.

I am a trust…

of every child of Palestine,

every mother,

every sister,

every brother.

And it is my duty…

to fulfill my role.

Through words…

or through courage…

But I will not stop.
