We are in a time where people do not accept and believe in miracles, and we consider that the time of myths has ended. The reason for that is us keeping away from God and his teachings, and our strong attachment to this materialistic world. Moreover, we have forgotten and perhaps on purpose the miracles during the ages of our prophets, such as Moses, Jesus and the Seal of the Prophets great prophet Mohamed bin Abdullah (Peace be upon him and his family).

..

Amerli: Iraqi town of population of less than 20,000 people, mostly Shia Turkmen, and when the siege took place its population was 18,000 people, including 12,000 women and children.

This town was under siege initially by ISIS terrorists (Daeesh) and some of the Kurdish Peshmerga (where the Kurds and ISIS were one hand in Tuzkhurmatu and not yet in disagreement).

The residents of the town decided to defend themselves against this invasion of ISIS terrorism and Kurdish Peshmerga by the reliance first on God Almighty, then on Prophet Mohamed bin Abdullah (PBUH&HF) and his bless family that God said about them (..Allah intends only to remove from you the impurity Ahl Al-Bayt [of the Prophet's], and to purify you with [extensive] purification.. ) " Verse 33. Al Ahzab”, and said ( ..say, Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then supplicate earnestly and invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars.. ) " Verse 61. Ali-Imran "

This town, which has pursued the path of Ahl Al-Bayt believing in God’s destiny and willingness, decided to defeat ISIS the mighty force that seized control of the provinces in both Iraq and Syria in a very short time. Also, they believed in God’s speech to the faithful (..How many a small group has overcome a large group by permission of Allah . And Allah is with the patient..) "Verse 249. Al Baqarah".

Amerli put its trust in God and its men, that have no military experience, took positions with very basic and traditional weapons beside a small group of Iraqi army. That’s where the divine miracle happened and repelled the first attack of the ISIS terrorists and the Peshmerga, and dozens of ISIS were wounded and admitted to “Tuz Hospital”.

The conflict between Peshmerga and ISIS started when ISIS began occupying areas in Kurdistan not as per the agreement among themselves. Then Peshmerga felt that ISIS intention is to occupy oil wells, and the fighting started between the two allies. Moreover, the Kurdistan region leaders sensed that there is an American Zionism conspiracy against the Kurds and in favor of ISIS. USA then rushed to announce that it intends to arm the Kurdistan region to fight ISIS terrorism, but it seems that this statement has not lived up to the Kurds expectations and they headed toward Iran to seek help.

This steadfastness and Divine Miracle that happened during the siege and the wounded ISIS members treated for their injuries in Tuz Hospital surprised doctors and nursing staff. All wounded ISIS have only one wound in the body, one cut in the chest and shoulder top. When asked about the reason for that only cut, their answer was that a Knight was wearing a white robe and wanders in the battle land and these wounds are from beating us with his sword.

Following ISIS failure to occupy Amerli, the orders were issued for terrorists to bomb the town with mortars and rockets that were falling in a frequency of one bomb every two minutes during 10 hours of continuous bombing. According to eyewitness named Mohammed Torkmen Oglu, he stated that more than 2,000 mortar shells were thrown on the town during the two months of siege, and with God’s willingness these bombs did not cause any loss of life or property, and God Almighty addressed these bombs like he did with the fire (..We said: O fire, be coolness and peace upon Abraham..) "Verse 69. The Prophets."

ISIS did not give up and equipped for second attack with the help of more troops from Hawija, Mosul and Tikrit. The fighting lasted for 14 continuous hours from 4 axes supported by rockets, tanks and armoured vehicles. The attack miserably failed and 400 of ISIS infidel terrorists were killed among them leaders. After this defeat, and in order to justify it, ISIS started to spread on its social network site that the people of Amerli are mostly witches and sorcerers, they deride goblins (Jinn) to defend them, and they send a large immortal army dressed in white robe and attack them, and when they were shooting them nothing can affect these Jinn. (by the way: Jinn do not wear white clothes, the angels and righteous people who wear white clothes).

These events are Divine evidences of the reality of what happened in Amerli, and they are supported by the Holly Quran. Here are few of the verses of miracles:

(..when you asked help of your Lord, and He answered you, "Indeed, I will reinforce you with a thousand from the angels, following one another.”..) Verse 9. Al Anfal.

(..O you who have believed, remember the favour of Allah upon you when armies came to [attack] you and We sent upon them a wind and armies [of angels] you did not see. And ever is Allah , of what you do, Seeing..) Verse 9. Al Ahzab.

(..And already had Allah given you victory at [the battle of] Badr while you were few in number. Then fear Allah ; perhaps you will be grateful..) Verse 123. Ali-Imran.

(..when you said to the believers, "Is it not sufficient for you that your Lord should reinforce you with three thousand angels sent down?..) Verse 124. Ali-Imran.

(..Yes, if you remain patient and conscious of Allah and the enemy come upon you [attacking] in rage, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels having marks [of distinction]..) Verse 125. Ali-Imran.

Isn’t the fact and reality, and whom who would like to make sure, can go and check the media that quickly convey the news of these events that are fresh and not from the far past.

And believe it or not, the characteristics of that knight as described by ISIS terrorists is of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib (PBUH), and whoever knows the Imam biography especially his story with Suleiman Alfarissi does not hesitate a second to believe in that.

Maybe someone will ask “why these Divine Miracles did not happen in other places”, and the answer is “God's wisdom in every period of time”, for example:

Miracle of Prophet Moses splitting the sea with his stick,

Miracle of Prophet Jesus speaking in the cradle,

Miracle of Prophet Mohamed (PBUH&HF) Essra by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al- Aqsa,

And so many other miracles for other Prophets…
