The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah (too) loves to meet him and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah (too) hates to meet him". `Aisha, or some of the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "But we dislike death." He said: It is not like this, but it is meant that when the time of the death of a believer approaches, he receives the good news of Allah's pleasure with him and His blessings upon him, and so at that time nothing is dearer to him than what is in front of him. He therefore loves the meeting with Allah, and Allah (too) loves the meeting with him. But when the time of the death of a disbeliever approaches, he receives the evil news of Allah's torment and His Requital, whereupon nothing is more hateful to him than what is before him. Therefore, he hates the meeting with Allah, and Allah too, hates the meeting with him."

[Sahih al-Bukhari 6507]

Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله):

‎“The perfection of man is based on these two abilities: Knowledge and love. And the best knowledge is the knowledge about Allāh, and the highest love is the love for His Sake.”

‎[al-Fawā’id | Pg. 83]

Allahu Akbar! Walhamdulillahil lathee bi ni'matihi tatimmus saalihaat!

Every Muslim feels immense joy upon the overthrow of any Tāghūt, even if the change is led by another Tāghūt.

Ibn Kathīr stated that Allah deals with the oppressors by allowing some to dominate others, bringing about the destruction of some through others, and taking vengeance upon them through each other, as recompense for their injustice and transgressions.

This joy is particularly pronounced when witnessing the release of innocent Muslim prisoners, especially our sisters, and the restoration of rights to individuals, including their homes, lands, and cities. However, our deepest joy is found only when the pure Sharī’ah of Allah is fully implemented across the territories.

The retreat of the enemy from a town and the fall of its Tāghūt is not considered a Shar’ī “liberation” until the country is governed by the Laws of Allah and the secular laws that have hindered the implementation of these Divine Laws are eliminated.

Replacing a rusted Tāghūt with a polished Tāghūt who doesn't implement the pure Sharī’ah of Allah cannot be considered “liberation” or “freedom”. Rather, it's merely a repetition of oppression and a reproduction of Tughyān.

Liberating territories in the name of "freedom" may lead to some vanishing worldly benefits, whereas liberating lands to establish Sharī’ah is the goal that will grant one a Jannah more expansive than both heaven and earth.

Today, we express our gratitude to Allah for allowing us to witness the decline of one of the most prominent oppressors of our time. We pray that Allah fills our hearts with joy as we observe the demise of the remaining tyrants, enabling us to live under the shade of Tawheed in those areas, under the governance of the pure righteous Muwahideen.
