The Dust On Their Faces Is Stronger Than Your Thrones 🍉

They came with drones, we came with dua.

They came with tanks, we stood with trust.

They spoke in threats, we answered with whispers—

"Ya Allah, give us sabr, give us strength."🤲


They turned Gaza into ash, but failed to burn our belief.

They buried babies, but couldn’t 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, barefoot—

And still brighter than your golden thrones.

🍉

What are your presidents so afraid of?

They’ve got satellites, alliances, armies.

We’ve got nothing—

but children who hold stones like they’re swords,

and mothers who kiss death like it’s destiny.

That’s 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.

🍉

You fear what you can’t 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.

🍉

Tell me—how 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?

You’ve made alliances, treaties, coalitions—

Not to defeat us,

but to cover the fact that you already lost.

🍉

Look at your power. Now look at our children.

Your leaders hide behind podiums.

Our children stand alone on rubble,

and the entire world stares—yet they don’t flinch.

Because they know.

They know their blood is pure.

Their cause is just.

Their Rabb is watching.

🍉

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 again—not in this world’s terms,

but in the court of the Most Just.

🍉

So send your bombs,

build your blocs,

tighten your siege—

But you’ll 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.

🍉

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.
