Colonialism and Arab expansion

Most countries deem Israeli settlements built on land Israel occupied after the 1967 Arab-Israeli War as illegal, and their continued expansion has, for decades, been among the most contentious issues between Israel, Palestine and the international community.

"The life of a single Muslim soldier (Mujahid) is more beloved to me than the entire state itself"

~ Sayyidna Umar Al Farooq رضي الله عنه
2nd Rightly Guided Caliph of Islam

He was extremely concerned about his troops. Hence, Caliph Umar personally supervised the military strategy and territorial expansion plans. Due to risk of high casualties, he didn't allow Sayyidina Amir Muawiyah رضي الله عنه the Syrian governor to start naval attacks on the Roman empire via the Mediterranean sea.

When the first modern expansion of the Ḥaram in Makkah was done, you could drive your car right up to the gates of the Masjid and park it! There were so few cars that there wasn't any parking problem!

Good times, no?!

Візит Президента Туреччини до України – вагомий меседж підтримки з боку такої потужної країни. Під час зустрічі у Львові обговорили з Recep Tayyip Erdoğan можливість удосконалення зернової ініціативи, ситуацію навколо Запорізької АЕС та ядерний шантаж з боку окупантів, масштабну крадіжку Росією зерна на тимчасово окупованій території України. Також торкнулися питань оборонної взаємодії.

Впевнений, подальше розширення співпраці між Україною і Туреччиною посилить обидві сторони.

The visit of the President of Türkiye to Ukraine is a powerful message of support from such a powerful country. During the meeting in Lviv, we discussed with Recep Tayyip Erdoğan the possibility of improving the grain initiative, the situation around the Zaporizhzhia NPP and the nuclear blackmail of the occupiers, Russia's large-scale theft of grain in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. Issues of defense cooperation were also touched upon.

I am sure that the further expansion of cooperation between Ukraine and Türkiye will strengthen both sides.
