In a Friday sermon on October 25, 2024, at the Islamic Centre of Southwest Ontario in London, Canadian Imam Munir El-Kassem discussed the lessons learned from the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. He said that Sinwar was chosen to "spend eternity" with Allah." El-Kassem continued to say that when Sinwar threw a stick at the drone coming to kill him, he was teaching a "beautiful lesson," never to lose hope, because "who said that death was a sign of defeat?" He added that as he was dying, Sinwar was seeing Paradise in front of him. The sermon was streamed live on the mosque's YouTube channel.
Munir El-Kassam: "When Yahya Sinwar has been chosen to go and spend eternity with Allah... and he is very much alive, Allah said so [in the Quran]: 'Do not think of those who have been killed in the way of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision.' He is very much alive.

"They [Israelis] entered into the precincts of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, but Al-Aqsa is now a flood, and you know what floods do – they drown people. So the flood is going to drown them and Al-Aqsa will be pure!

"So the angels of mercy who were accompanying the Angel of Death, when it came to Yahya Sinwar, as he was struggling with the throws of death, as he was bleeding, as he was feeling the extreme pain of the condition he was in, he knew what would a stick do to a machine, a drone, coming at him with artificial intelligence that he knew already is going to hit him, but he threw that stick at it.

"What a beautiful lesson Abu Ibrahim [Sinwar] gave us. What a beautiful lesson. We cannot feel helpless, helplessness is not for us. Even a stick can stand in front of a drone. No you might say he died, but who said death is a sign of defeat. Who said that? Death is a passage. He was seeing Paradise in front of him, but we cannot see it. 'We have removed your cover, so your sight this Day is sharp.' That is what he saw."
