This one I arrived around 7:15pm (I did not miss anything except many repetitive chants and the insults from the counter-protestors, who were largely outnumbered, drowned out by the chanting and kept in place by law enforcement).
I recorded some short scenes, adjusting them for time, timelapsed the marches and recorded all of the speeches (the last short speech at the very end I could barely hear and missed the start of it over the noise from traffic and people talking).
Music composed for the timelapses (the marches) is unclassically madness right over top the original audio, making it chaotic.
00:28One of them, one of the most holy days, if not the most holy day of the year, we are standing across from these genocidal terrorist maniacs that get pleasure for the Americans to pledge itself in the world.
00:45So I want to hear every single person scream. You're fasting, you're fasting, you're fasting, it doesn't matter. You'll do this for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and you'll do this for the children that are burning and messed up because of that, that toilet paper flag, that these maniacs, that these genocidal monsters are carrying and have no shame.
01:15Do you want justice? Tell me how! What do you want?
01:28The day of Arafat, the holiest day of the year when Muslims in Mecca perform hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage and stand on Mount Arafat,
01:52A sea of indistinguishable humanity across a stark plain, praying with outstretched arms and hands for Allah's acceptance of their repentance, forgiveness and mercy.
02:10Arafat is a day of spiritual cleansing and rejuvenation of faith.
02:16As we witness the 607th day of genocide in Islam.
02:29Within 77 years of occupation in Palestine, let this day, let today be a rejuvenation of your faith.
02:41faith.
02:42La ilaha illallah hu wabdahu la sharika lah.
02:46Lahu al-muyk wa lahu al-haqdu wa hu ala kulli shayi qadir.
02:51None has the right to be worshipped except Allah for alone, without partner.
02:58To Him belongs the dominion of all praise and He has the power over all things.
03:06During this holy time, the Zionist entity continues to slaughter and starve our brothers and sisters in love and share.
03:19The Zionist entity set up death traps disguised as so-called distribution aid sites.
03:32And in one week, the Zionist entity has either murdered or injured over 600 Palestinians at these aid sites.
03:45While we fast comfortably, they fast while already hungry.
03:55A people who pray while bombs fall, who bury their children with tears of strength.
04:03While we say our aid takbirat, our brothers and sisters in khassa amplify their takbirat while raising the bodies of their martyrs.
04:16A people who have nothing yet given everything, courage, clarity and conviction.
04:28Allahu Akbar wa lillahi al-haqdu wa lillahi al-haqdu.
04:40And while the occupation forces deny Palestinians entry to an haqsa mosk.
04:47While they beat and arrest Palestinians for wanting to practice their faith.
04:53While we witness our people first alive in Ghassa 607 days into this genocide.
05:06The United States of America vetoes a permanent ceasefire for the best time.
05:13The man's reigns come to flood.
05:19But listen closely.
05:21Listen closely.
05:23As three million pilgrims stand on the sacred plain of Mount Harafat begging for mercy,
05:34the people of Ghassa stand on the front line of truth.
05:39Begging only from Allah.
05:41Not the US.
05:43Not the Arab regime.
05:45Not the western governments.
05:47But only from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
05:51Tell us any reparations in the world.
05:52Kha şimdiyehah binは let us findUsn!
05:54As 707 days have prompted by Bobby Khakza Amazon,
05:59Khakza's blood had soaked the earth.
06:04Their back, broken by walls and leery,
06:11They подготовred in smoke and yet they stand strong and their faith.
06:14faith, it is in their conviction.
06:22Today, while our stomachs churn from hunger, from just one single day of fasting,
06:28think of Gaza, who have been starved for months.
06:34Fifty thousand children under the age of five are suffering from malnutrition.
06:46Shame!
06:49One hundred and two million endure a forced famine. Shame!
06:56Today, when we all come out while fasting for the day of Arafat
07:02and chanting for Gaza, know that you are embodying the purest form of resistance.
07:12A resistance and a moral struggle for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
07:18You are representing the purest form of our struggle and a fight against oppression.
07:25It is a moral struggle and a moral fight.
07:29It is 67 days in 77 years and we will never give up our fight.
07:35Takfir! Takfir! Takfir! Takfir!
07:41We are fighting the moral fight, the fight for justice and the truth.
07:46We are standing with the truth.
07:48I want all the drummers to take it away with poor drums.
07:56And I want everyone to chant from the depths of your hearts.
08:02We need to drown this out.
08:04This isn't right. This isn't right.
08:08What you are doing here, standing here, is what is right.
08:12You are standing with justice, with dignity, with integrity for the rightful people.
08:22Please, you are standing for the rightful people.
08:24I want all of what we desire to have.
08:28You are standing with justice.
08:30I want all of you, standing with confidence.
08:32I want all of you, standing with accountability.
08:36Look at God's mercy, I should let you can't find him.
08:38I want him to bring together.
08:40And then you have your honor, stand up, stand up!
08:44You can't make anybody with confidence he Connor quotes you!
08:47These are the bedeans!
08:48Get up, whoa!
08:51You're in the alley.
08:52To wear the lihat button.
08:53You're violence.
08:53You're violence.
08:54You're masturbation.
08:55You're violence.
08:56You're violence.
08:58You're terrorist.
08:58I don't know.
10:58Think about our tax dollars that we work in this country for that go and fund the genocide
11:08of our brothers and sisters.
11:11Think about every single child that is still being burnt alive today.
11:17Think about every single child that was burnt alive that we didn't get to see.
11:25Think about every single family that was wiped off of the civil registry that we didn't get
11:32to witness.
11:33Think about every single mother that had to pick up the limbs of her child that we didn't
11:41get to witness.
11:43Think about every single father that had to scream out and cry for help as he saw his child
11:52burning.
11:53As he looked into the fire and knew he couldn't do anything to help his child.
12:00Think about those children.
12:01Think about them when you are making your dua on this holy day.
12:06Think about our people in Gaza that continue after over 20 months to feel that torture, to
12:15feel that pain.
12:16Think about every single last one of them because when you see those people there, these pathetic
12:27doctors, these pathetic people, these genocidal maniacs that hold this flag that represents
12:32toilet paper, that represents genocide, that represents colonialism, that represents every single thing
12:39that we know that is bad on this earth.
12:42When you see that those are the people that are on the other side, you know you are fighting
12:47for humanity.
12:48You know that you are fighting for the just cause.
12:51You know you are fighting for that little girl that's in Gaza that has to sleep in a different
12:56room from her family in hopes that if they all die, she will be the last one remaining to
13:02walk out from under the rubble and say Alhamdulillah and say Allahu Akbar.
13:06Think about them when you are out here in these streets.
13:09Although it has been 20 months and we continue to see every pain imaginable, every single heartache,
13:17there is something more that these people have taught us.
13:20There is something more that we can learn from the people of Gaza and that is when you put
13:26your faith into the one Almighty, when you put your faith into Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, you know that victory
13:36is not a matter of if but when.
13:38And my friends, my friends, so many people tell us because they see the majority of the people
13:53that are here are hijabi women.
13:54Yes, that does deserve a womb, that does deserve us to be proud of that because again, that
14:02goes to show that we are unapologetic about who we are.
14:08We as Muslims see Muslims dying in Gaza and we have the people here in the West trying to
14:15silence our Muslim voice.
14:16Can you imagine that?
14:17Can you imagine seeing your Muslim brothers and sisters dying and being birthed in Gaza and
14:24here in so-called Canada, they try to silence your voice because they know that the Muslim
14:30voice is a powerful one, is a just one, is one that believes in the one Almighty, is one
14:36that knows victory is coming soon inshallah.
14:38So as you are here on this blessed day and you are making du'a, we say this time and time again,
14:53du'a without action is not going to result in any solution.
14:59You must make du'a but you must take action as well, whether that is seeing our brothers
15:05and sisters that are here from Hands for Charity, that are here at the very front with a yellow
15:11vest, he's got cash, he takes debit, he takes credit, you take crypto, you take crypto, you
15:19take check, you take check, can you imagine that, you literally have no excuse not to donate.
15:26And let's get this idea out of our head that it has to be a big amount in order to make a
15:30difference. If every single person here donated just five dollars, we would be able to build
15:36another bakery in Gaza because we've already built one. So imagine if every single person
15:42here donated five dollars to Gaza, we would be able to build another bakery because through
15:50these last 14 or 15 months, the Hands for Charity has been with us. We have raised over
15:5595,000 dollars for our brothers and sisters in Gaza. So that's the first thing. So like
16:02we said, we'll reiterate. One, make du'a. Make du'a with intention but also act on it.
16:10Number two, donate. Donate to credible organizations. Donate to Hands for Charity. They're on the
16:15ground. Five dollars. Double click your iPhone and just press it. That's it. It's that simple.
16:20If you have cash, donate cash. On this blessed day especially, you will gain that reward and
16:25you will get it back tenfold. I promise you that inshallah. Number three, and this is something
16:30that we continue to not be strong enough in and that is boycotting. How are we as people
16:39who are Arabs, Muslims, non-Muslims, humans donating to companies that are still funding the genocide
16:45of our brothers and sisters. We must boycott companies like Coca-Cola, like McDonald's, like
16:52these companies that straight to our face tell us that they are giving meals to the IOF
16:58and we still spend our money there. Shame on us. Shame on this ummah for continuing to
17:04not boycott. So I gave you three things. The last thing is to use your voice while you're
17:10out here on these streets. And use it from that burning passion that's inside of you.
17:15That flame that's inside of your stomach right now. That flame that just needs to be ignited.
17:19We're gonna start right now and I wanna hear every single person's voice.
17:23Especially the people at the back. Let's start off with no jokes because they can't, they can't hear.
17:28They can't hear, they can't hear. They can't hear. They can't hear. They can't hear.
17:33Oh hurry ya, hurry ya!
17:58They can't hear.
18:03This is it.
18:05They can't hear.
18:07They can't hear.
18:10They can't hear to help us, maybe they can't hear...
18:14If the meters...
19:17And we pray for the things that we cannot.
19:19So just remember, this is the day that is so remarkable.
19:23This is the day of the 1967 Six-Day War.
19:27This is the day that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
19:29have revealed the last ayahs and the last of revelations.
19:34This is a day that's very important upon all of us.
19:37And yet we come here ahead of all of you to actually stand up for the streets
19:42while we raise this flag of justice while we're fasting.
19:46This is the least we can actually do to give back to this given an honorable cause.
19:50And as you've heard from our comrades all along, and you will always hear it,
19:54this is the least we can do.
19:56And you can give back, not just by showing up to these demonstrations,
19:59but also to giving up to hands for charity and actually growing your faith.
20:04You have to grow your faith.
20:05It's because it is our duty not to only have faith, but to fill our hearts with hope.
20:11Fill your hearts with hope.
20:13This is nothing new.
20:14What is going on today has been going on.
20:17What is going on today has been happening.
20:20So therefore we have to be mindful of that and better ourselves, a better society.
20:26We have to pray for the things that we cannot actually achieve.
20:30Our relationship with our Creator is a sacred one.
20:33This is why we have to give back to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
20:36and always remember the people and the children of Ghazza and every single thing we do.
20:41What we do is not enough.
20:43What happened on October 7th has put the Islamic values up ahead in front of the whole world,
20:49but yet we have put it down because we haven't done enough.
20:52We haven't done enough to actually avenge the lives lost and all the sacrifices from Ghazza.
20:58Just keep that in your minds.
21:01No matter how much this government tries to silence us, we will push back.
21:05And we will fight hard.
21:07Because this government will not have any more means to try to silence us.
21:11They can shut down our accounts.
21:15They can try to arrest us.
21:16They can silence us in any way possible.
21:19But yet we stand on this world of justice.
21:23We stand on this world that is our obligation.
21:26And as Canadians, we hold this government accountable to its complicity to this genocide.
21:31And we will say no.
21:33We are not going to agree.
21:35As Canadians, we do not agree.
21:37And we do not accept to support these baby bombers with our Canadian dollars.
21:42That is definitely not happening.
21:43So give back to Hands for Charity over here, where you can give back directly to the cause if you guys want to give back.
21:51And there's also a clear box going around.
21:53This is how you can support this movement.
21:54We are facing a heavy, heavy legal fight in the system for actually standing up here ahead of you and actually doing what we do.
22:03There is a massive legal pushback against every single one of us organizers.
22:09But this is how we actually rely on this entire community to stand up together and support each other.
22:15So if you do see a legal fund page going around, please support.
22:20And I ask you personally, we would need your help.
22:23We would need your help.
22:25The legal fund, this is how we can fight the system in every way possible.
22:29Anyways, we are all fasting.
22:32And whoever is not fasting, please, you're welcome to join us.
22:35We are going to go inside, we're going to pray.
22:38Our maqrib prayer is going to be 10 to 12 minutes.
22:40And then we're going to break our fast.
22:42And we're going to do takbirat al-eid, inshaAllah.
22:45As tomorrow is the first day of Eid.
22:47But yet, it is our duty to also be happy.
22:52To also take part in these Islamic rituals.
22:56Because this is what we have to do to stay human.
22:59Without further ado, you guys have heard it all.
23:01Teach your children that Palestine is occupied.
23:04Teach your children that Al-Aqsa Mosque is held captive.
23:07Teach your children that the Zionist entity is an enemy.
23:10Teach your children that the resistance is an honor.
23:13And teach your children that there is no such country called Israel.
23:17As-salamu alaykum.
23:19So please, join us inside the square, please.
23:23You should learn that you don't have to do that.
23:25I don't know what to do.
23:55I'm just waiting for you!
24:25I'm just waiting for you!
24:55Allah!
24:57Allah!
24:59Allah!
25:01Allah!
25:03To actually show up here the day before Eid, and to actually do what we do.
25:07We cannot be doing what we're doing without a single one day, guys.
