The Dust On Their Faces Is Stronger Than Your Thrones đ

They came with drones, we came with dua.
They came with tanks, we stood with trust.
They spoke in threats, we answered with whispersâ
"Ya Allah, give us sabr, give us strength."đ¤˛
They turned Gaza into ash, but failed to burn our belief.
They buried babies, but couldnât bury the Shahada.
They killed our sons, but couldn't kill the smile
of a child who still says Alhamdulillah with a bandaged head.
Have you seen their faces?
Dust-covered, blood-marked, barefootâ
And still brighter than your golden thrones.
đ
What are your presidents so afraid of?
Theyâve got satellites, alliances, armies.
Weâve got nothingâ
but children who hold stones like theyâre swords,
and mothers who kiss death like itâs destiny.
Thatâs why you fear us.
You fear our wounded old man still making wudhu
with water dripping from broken pipes.
You fear our girls in hijab writing poetry
with hands trembling from hunger,
but hearts overflowing with faith.
đ
You fear what you canât destroy.
You fear the La ilaha illallah
echoing louder in silence
than your missiles ever could in fire.
You fear a nation that walks to its grave
not with shame,
but with the pride of Prophets.
đ
Tell meâhow do you defeat people
who see martyrdom as a wedding invitation?
Who look at the sky, not to dodge a drone,
but to ask Allah to accept them?
Youâve made alliances, treaties, coalitionsâ
Not to defeat us,
but to cover the fact that you already lost.
đ
Look at your power. Now look at our children.
Your leaders hide behind podiums.
Our children stand alone on rubble,
and the entire world staresâyet they donât flinch.
Because they know.
They know their blood is pure.
Their cause is just.
Their Rabb is watching.
đ
We are not hopeless. We are preparing.
Preparing our souls, purifying our hearts.
Because we know the promise of Allah is true.
We will die with honour
before we live in humiliation.
And we will rise againânot in this worldâs terms,
but in the court of the Most Just.
đ
So send your bombs,
build your blocs,
tighten your siegeâ
But youâll never win.
Not against children who smile while burying their parents.
Not against mothers who raise their hands while lowering their dead.
Not against a people who say "Allahu Akbar" as their homes collapse.
đ
Because what lives in us
cannot be killed.
What guides us
cannot be blinded.
And what sustains us
was never this world to begin with.
