“The Era of Fear has Gone, and the Kingdom of Silence has Collapsed”

The climate of fear, which existed in Ash-Shaam (Syria) due to the decades of repression placed over the people, was broken on the first day of the revolution and remains thus. The murderous Assad regime has martyred hundreds of thousands but still the people stand firm. The leaders of the so-called free world plot and plan with the regime to usurp the blessed revolution but still the people refuse. Indeed the hadith is a reminder for us all of the land that is Ash-Shaam (Syria) when our beloved Prophet (saw) said, «عُقْرُ دَارِ الإسُلامِ بِالشَّام» “The abode of Islam is Ash-Shaam (Syria).” (Extracted by At-Tabarani in ‘Al-Kabeer’ on the authority of Salamah Bin Nufail).

And inshal'allah bi-ithniallah the return of Islam in its ruling upon the way of Prophethood is near despite the plots and plans of those with enmity in their hearts and minds towards Islam and the Muslim Ummah. ﴿وَمَا كَيْدُ الْكَافِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ﴾“But the plan of the disbelievers is not except in error” [Ghaafir: 40].

There are those who ally with the enemies of the revolution, the rulers of the Muslims lands and those who sit at the so called 'peace table' awaiting crumbs the words of Allah (swt) are a reminder: ﴿وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ﴾“And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned” [Ash-Shu’araa: 227] And: ﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَامِعُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَالْكَافِرِينَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ جَمِيعًا﴾“Indeed, you would then be like them. Indeed Allah will gather the hypocrites and disbelievers in Hell all together.” [An-Nisa: 140]

Verily, the goodness of Haq is what distinguishes the blessed Ummah in Ash-Shaam and in general, as there are within it truthful and sincere men who are capable by the permission of Allah to cause the plans of those who harbour hatred against Islam and its adherents to fail and Allah is Al-Qawwiy Al-‘Azeez who grants victory to whom He wishes.

﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن تَنصُرُوا اللَّـهَ يَنصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُمْ * وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَتَعْسًا لَّهُمْ وَأَضَلَّ أَعْمَالَهُمْ﴾

“O you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will support you and plant firmly your feet. But those who disbelieve – for them is misery, and He will waste their deeds” [Muhammad: 7-8]

﴿إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ لِلَّـهِ يُورِثُهَا مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ﴾

“Verily, the earth belongs to Allah. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous.” [Al-A’araaf: 128]
