O Syria! Accept salutations of a person who has spent his life with your memories and news, a person who used to read the epics and stories of Muj\u0101hideen in this land. A salutation from my entire existence and heart; I salute you on my behalf and on the behalf of millions of people who love you, although they live in a far land, miles away of you. <br \/>Whenever, <em>Muadhin<\/em>s, announcers to prayers, proclaim: \u00ab\u0623\u0634\u0647\u062f \u0623\u0646 \u0644\u0627 \u0625\u0644\u0647 \u0625\u0644\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0648 \u0623\u0634\u0647\u062f \u0623\u0646 \u0645\u062d\u0645\u062f \u0631\u0633\u0648\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u00bb, \u201c<em>I bear witness there is no god but All\u0101h and Muhammad is the messenger of All\u0101h<\/em>;\u201d they remember <em>Muadhin<\/em> of the last messenger of All\u0101h, Bil\u0101l Habashi, whose long-term purlieus is Sh\u0101m (ancient Syria).<\/p>\n<p>When, Muslims proceed to the topics of Fiqh and Hadith, they see the dignified jurists, Q\u016brr\u0101, narrators and Muhaddithin inside Syria\u2019s long history. Many companions of the last messenger, peace be upon him, including Mu\u2019\u0101dh bin Jabal, Abu-Dard\u0101, Sa\u2019d bin Ob\u0101dah and Obayy bin Ka\u2019b take rest in Sh\u0101m.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever any tyrant ruler discriminates among his nation, depredates public wealth for amusement and proves his selfishness, people remember you and the ideal leader of the final years of the first Higri century, who amazed humanity and the history by his just stances; he provided justice to all equally actuating the society towards Isl\u0101m and Isl\u0101mic morals. In his rule, every needy person got his\/her needs, public welfare was given to all, poverty was ablated, agents were looking up for poor and needy citizens to give them Zak\u0101h but there was not any poor in the entire country; it was the leadership of Omar bin Abdol-Aziz, may All\u0101h pray on him.<\/p>\n<p>Oh Damascus! There is a lion taking rest in your heart whose boom uprooted the crusaders; as he impressed the Westerns by his kindness and high humanitarian features, this humane brave man was S\u016blt\u0101n Sal\u0101h-ud-Deen Ayyoubi.<\/p>\n<p>O dear Syria! When your name was \u201cSh\u0101m\u201d, you were ruling upon the most parts of the civilized and living world of that era. But your territory was diminished gradually, borders went back and the circle remained limited to the current small territory. You lost the leadership of the globe. O Syria! It is a fact that the key of your success and leadership of the world for a century was in guiding a nation with global duties. Your great leaders were spreading Isl\u0101m and knowledge; they were teaching people morals, virtues and respect.<\/p>\n<p>O Syria! But later on you preferred to focus on getting more power and occupy more lands instead of advancing your causes and duties; you were amassing wealth and money not purifying people\u2019s morals and deeds. Nations can not get the leadership by any particular language, culture and civilization; it is divine responsibility, preaching and great ideas which make nations dominant.<\/p>\n<p>O Syria! Your grace on our country [India] can not be forgotten; Mohammad bin Q\u0101sem Thaqafi headed towards sub-continent India in the rule of Waleed bin Abd\u016bl-Malek along with a diligent, faithful and sincere army. India accepted them wholeheartedly. Bin Q\u0101sem gave the taste of faith to most of the people in India; by his arrival, a new era was begun in the region. May All\u0101h have mercy on all of them.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>First published in Neday-e-Islam Magazine, Vol. 14, No. 52-53<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Late All\u0101ma Ab\u016bl-Hasan Ali Nadvi, the eminent Muslim thinker and theorician\u00a0of the 20th century, presented a pivotal speech in the state-run radio station of Syria in 1956.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-c97-distinctive-news-articles"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>An Overt Talk with Syria - SunniOnline<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/sunnionline.us\/english\/2013\/11\/24\/3150\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"An Overt Talk with Syria - SunniOnline\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Late All\u0101ma Ab\u016bl-Hasan Ali Nadvi, the eminent Muslim thinker and theorician\u00a0of the 20th century, presented a pivotal speech in the state-run radio station of Syria in 1956.\u00a0\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/sunnionline.us\/english\/2013\/11\/24\/3150\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SunniOnline\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2013-11-24T16:35:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"majed\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"majed\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sunnionline.us\\\/english\\\/2013\\\/11\\\/24\\\/3150\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sunnionline.us\\\/english\\\/2013\\\/11\\\/24\\\/3150\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"majed\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/sunnionline.us\\\/english\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/26da0e970ff572e94f1b7d9009ab39be\"},\"headline\":\"An Overt Talk with Syria\",\"datePublished\":\"2013-11-24T16:35:34+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sunnionline.us\\\/english\\\/2013\\\/11\\\/24\\\/3150\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":625,\"commentCount\":0,\"articleSection\":[\"Distinctive News &amp;
