The video, which mixes his recitation of verses 38-40 of Surah Hajj with footage from war-stricken Gaza, was released on Anwar's social media accounts.

Here is a translation of the recited verses:

Allah will defend those who believe. Verily, Allah does not love the ungrateful cheat. (38)

Permission is given to those who fight because they were wronged. Allah has power to grant them victory: (39)

those who have been unjustly driven from their homes, just because they said: 'Our Lord is Allah.' Had Allah not repelled some people by the means of others, the monasteries and churches, the synagogues and mosques in which the Name of Allah is remembered would have been destroyed. But whoever helps Allah shall be helped by Him. Allah is the Strong, the Almighty, (40)
