Imam Mohammad S. Ahmed broke down in tears during a December 22, 2023 Friday sermon at the Islamic Institute of Torrance, California, asking: "What have we done wrong to not be martyrs for the sake of Allah?" He added: "What have we done for our mothers not to be like the mothers of the martyrs in Palestine [...] for our men not to be among those resisting in Palestine?" Ahmed went on to say that the Palestinians have been chosen by Allah to be "the best people living on the earth nowadays." He said that the Children of Israel have a long history of cowardice, wickedness, and murder and that Allah has punished them for this. The sermon was posted on the YouTube channel of the Islamic Institute of Torrance.

What have we done wrong for our men not to be among those resisting in Palestine?
"What have we done wrong for us not to be chosen for that perfect picture that the Palestinians have drawn today? That perfect picture of faith in Allah, that perfect picture's trace, that perfect picture of belief. They were chosen for this picture...
"They were chosen for this. This is not our choice, it is the choice of Allah, and He chose them to be the best people living on the face of the earth nowadays. He did not choose us."
