The leader of a people is their servant.

Hadith 34, 40 Hadith Shah Waliullah

History is proof of the inevitable downfall of even the most oppressive regimes. Tyranny may appear unbreakable in its time, but justice prevails when people unite with courage and perseverance.

The overthrow of Bashar al-Assad’s regime once thought invincible, is a reminder that oppression is finite.

Change begins when people stand firm against wrong, trusting Allah’s justice.

It may take time, and the road may be filled with hardship, but history—and faith—show us that no oppressive system lasts forever.

The Fragility of Power

Assad’s regime stood as a symbol of unchecked power and cruelty.

Strength built on oppression is not true strength—it is fragile, hollow, and destined to collapse.

True strength lies in justice, mercy, and humility.

Leaders who serve compassionately create lasting legacies, while those who rule cruelly are remembered for their fall.

This principle doesn’t only apply to rulers.

The power we wield—whether over our families, workplaces, or communities—should be rooted in service and justice, not control or ego.

Hope in Action

For over a decade, Syrians endured unimaginable suffering and devastation, yet they held on to hope for a brighter future.

This steadfastness reminds us that hope can guide us even in the darkest times.

The fall of oppression carries two profound lessons: it offers hope to those striving for justice and warns that power, when misused, ultimately collapses.

Let this moment inspire us to embody fairness in all we do, serve others with humility, and strive to follow the Prophetic model of leadership—one rooted in justice, compassion, and unwavering integrity.

Allah is a meticulous clockmaker.

So precise is His order that everything on earth happens in its own time.

Neither a minute late nor a minute early. 

And for everyone without exception,

the clock works accurately.
