[الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزَادَهُمْ إِيمَانًا وَقَالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّـهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فَانقَلَبُوا بِنِعْمَةٍ مِّنَ اللَّـهِ وَفَضْلٍ لَّمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ وَاتَّبَعُوا رِضْوَانَ اللَّـهِ وَاللَّـهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَظِيمٍ إِنَّمَا ذَٰلِكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ يُخَوِّفُ أَوْلِيَاءَهُ فَلَا تَخَافُوهُمْ وَخَافُونِ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ]

"Those to whom hypocrites said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them." But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, "Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs." So they returned with favour from Allah and bounty, no harm having touched them. And they pursued the pleasure of Allah, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty. That is only Satan who frightens [you] of his supporters. So fear them not, but fear Me, if you are [indeed] believers" [Aali 'Imraan: 173-175].

Here are the evil forces of the entire world gathered upon the revolution of the people of Syria and Palestine, and the Blessed Revolution of Ash-Sham: America, Europe, Russia, China, and Safavid Iran and its mercenaries from non-Arabs, Arabs, and the Jewish State...

A coalition that joined all the depraved ones on earth in confronting one place from the many places of the best Ummah that came for the people, in the land of Ash-Sham, the birthplace of Islam, until its land became crammed with their armies, its sea with their battleships, and its sky with their planes... to fight who?! To fight the Mujahideen who have no state, no planes, no tanks, no rockets, and no staff!!!

The fighting started around five years ago by the hands of thugs from the worshipers of Bashar and the deceased Hafiz; may curses and anger of Allah (swt) befall upon them, with the green light and support of the whole world, headed by America, the caller to Democracy and Human Rights.

The non-believer tyrant almost fell, so the Head of Evil, America, instructed its supporters in Iran to help your ally before it's too late. So, the Safavid grandchildren returned to their former state, and turned the East and the West against the Ummah of Islam, and Iran and its resistance party in Lebanon infiltrated slogans of resistance, Jihad, and supporting the weak, though showing its true ugly face, and showed its fangs in readiness to shed the blood of the Muslims and retrieving the glory of the Persians and Sasanians.

Then, it was supported by its guardian America by bombing humans, trees, and stones via the most high-tech planes and missiles on earth, and it dragged behind it a throng from the worshipers of thrones and positions, and it has Europe flattering it and begging a share from it in order to kill the Muslims and support the tyrant Bashar.

They have all failed to make the people of Ash-Sham bow down, and so they brought the miserable Russian bear. By that, Russia forgot about its atheism, had its churches packed, and made its war sacred on the vulnerable of the people of Ash-Sham, seeking its revenge upon them from the armies of the Khilafah "Caliphate" which put its nose to the ground hundreds of years ago. Also, it joined its hatred to the hatred of the Jews and established a common operations room with them on the land of Ash-Sham in the dungeons of the Bashar's thugs.

Afterwards, it followed them to China, and it emerged from its isolation to take part with the massacring of the weak men, women and children who say: "O Lord, make for us from You a protector, and make for us from You a supporter."

Then the Jews followed with the campaign against the people of Ash-Sham, and intensified their war, so they violated the Quds of Ash-Sham the Masjid Al Aqsa, and they tried to divide it in preparation to seize it. They killed women, elderly, and youth in the Masjid, and declared war against every person stationed in Al Aqsa, and labelled every stationed one (Murabit) as outlaws even those who didn't carry a knife. All this and the imposters of the resistance and the kings of the Arabs and the Turks are silent just like wooden canes, and they are not even slightly moved by the blood of the people of Palestine or by the violation of Masjid Al Aqsa. Rather, the imposter so-called resistance has struck an alliance with the Jewish state via their connection with the Russian ally.

Likewise, the Arab rulers have been fed the milk of humiliation and servitude to the West for a century. They let down the people of Palestine and side with the Jews against them, and they plot to nip the Revolution of Ash-Sham in its cradle fearful of its fire from reaching their decrepit thrones, utterly destroying them, and levelling them down to the ground.

Splendid and Glorious are you O people of Ash-Sham! The battle of the global gathering has assembled against you for the past five years and you remain steadfast! You are lining the pages of history to the world today and tomorrow's history lessons in glory, heroism, and dignity which will never ever be forgotten with the passing of time. Blessed are you, O people of Ash-Sham, your honor is envied by the nations of earth, an envy that pushed them to kill you and annihilate your heart's strength. However, they are exasperated and disappointed, as you are the ones who will pull out their roots, eradicate their prosperity, and fracture their fontanels. While they are fighting you, they are also fighting Allah (swt), His Prophet (saw), and the believers, and whoever declared war against Allah (swt) will definitely be defeated miserably. Whoever supports Allah's cause; Allah (swt) will help him, keep him steadfast, and made him empowered on earth.

O Sons of the Revolution of Ash-Sham:

Those despicable people have surrounded you and struck you from every angle and corner; it is to seek revenge against you since you proclaimed from the first day: "It is for Allah, it is for Allah" and "Our leader forever is our Prophet Mohammad" (saw). You have not raised any slogan or banner for them, but rather you raised the banners of Islam and loyalty to Allah (swt), His Prophet (saw), and the believers, so they announced their war against you and by that a war against Allah (swt). So, if you have asked from Allah (swt) immediate support, have your loyalty sincere to Him (swt), direct your faces towards Him (swt), and do not take another to Him (swt) a support from the Arab and Turkish rulers who have let you down and exposed you to the enemies. Place before your eyes what Allah (swt) says:

[إِنْ يَنْصُرْكُمُ اللَّهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمْ وَإِنْ يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ]

"If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allah (Alone) let believers put their trust." [Al-i-Imran: 160].

Also, do not forget what the Almighty says:

[إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ صَفًّا كَأَنَّهُمْ بُنْيَانٌ مَرْصُوصٌ]

"Verily, Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in rows (ranks) as if they were a solid structure." [As-Saff: 4].

Allah (swt) also says:

[وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَا تَنَازَعُوا فَتَفْشَلُوا وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ وَاصْبِرُوا]

"And obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not dispute (with one another) lest you lose courage and your strength depart, and be patient. Surely, Allah is with those who are As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.)." [Al-Anfal: 46].

So, gather your ranks and unify them, cut the ropes extended to you by the hypocritical rulers who are plotting against you, and remember that your grand victories are that which you have achieved by relying on Allah (swt) and gathering for that cause.

As for you, O Muslims in Lebanon:

Don't you ever believe the lie of loyalty to the Lebanese nation, as your loyalty which you have been ordered to have is loyalty to Allah (swt), His Prophet (saw), and the believers. Don't you ever fall for the conspiracy that is plotting to separate you from your Ummah in Ash-Sham and rest of the world. They want for you to be docile slaves in the entity of the Coalition of the minorities who want to extend it across the Ash-Sham coast. They work on taming you in order to become sheep, which will be slaughtered if they become fat. Beware of failing your brethren in Syria, because if you did then by Allah (swt) you have let yourself down, as they are your desired hope and your promised future.

As for you, O Christian neighbours in Lebanon, the rest of Ash-Sham, and its surroundings:

The coalition of the despicable ones has plotted against you to be their cheap fuel in their wars against the Muslim Ummah. So, don't you ever be driven behind their deception. We have lived alongside one another for hundreds of years, we had the authority and the power throughout that period, we have preserved your blood, your dignity, your money, your churches, and your crosses, and we were the best in fulfilling our protection for you. We fought the European Crusades for hundreds of years, they shed our blood on the land of Ash-Sham, but we did not seek revenge from you nor from your crosses, and we stayed on our covenant with you, as your ancestors kept on their covenant and fought the Crusades alongside us. The Sultan will return and so as empowerment by the help from Allah (swt), and the round of the despicable ones will not go far any longer, so walk upon the path of your ancestors in being loyal to our ancestors. Beware of falling in the traps of the Western colonial countries and the racist regional forces.

We together are awaiting something really soon in Allah's Will (swt), in a promising future which will restore the history of the pioneers, under the shade of the Khilafah "Caliphate" upon the method of Prophethood and the Rashideen, where the justice of Islam will include everyone, Muslims and non-Muslims, as with the Deen of Allah (swt) and His Mercy, we will be the merciful opening victors.
