The language of faith cannot transform political expediency into moral legitimacy nor can proximity to the sacred absolve those who place power above principle.

The sanctity of the Kaaba is not upheld by those who adorn it with billions. It is upheld by the Yemeni,the Palestinian,the Iranian and every oppressed soul who in the face of tyranny raises the eternal cry hayhat min al zillah there can be no submission to humiliation.
بسم اللہ الرحمٰن الرحیم
وَعَدَ اللّٰہُ الَّذِینَ آمَنُوا مِنکُم وَ عَمِلُوا الَّصالِحاتِ لَیَستَخلِفَنَّھُم فِی الاَرضِ کَما اسࣿتَخلَفَ الَّذِینَ مِن قَبلِہِم وَ لَیُمکِنَنَّ لَھُم دِینَہُمُ الَّذِی ارࣿتَضٰی لَھُم وَلَیُبَدِلَنَّہُم مِّن بَعدِ خَوفِھِم اَمناً، یَعࣿبُدُونَنِی لَا یُشرِکُونَ بِی شَیئًا وَمَن کَفَرَ بعَدَ ذٰالِکَ فَُأؤلٰٰئِکَ ھُمُ الفٰٰسُِقون۔ (24:55)
Dear @RuhullahMehdi Sahab, I think you are pointing towards the verse quoted above. Although this verse of Surah al Noor doesn’t come in immediate succession to the verse of Surah al Asra that has been recited by you; and comes after a gap of six Surahs in between;but the aforementioned verse provides glad tidings of Divine blessings, His Sultan (Authority) and Nusrat (Help) to those who have a firm belief in Almighty and who are righteous indeed
The literal meaning of the verse is as follows
Allah has promised among you who believe and do righteous deeds, that He will for sure grant them the inheritance in the land, just as He granted the inheritance to those who were before them; and that He will for sure establish (لیمکنن لھم) for them their way of living (دینہم), which He Almighty has chosen for them, and for sure He Almighty will change their state of fearfulness to one of security and peace (امنا) (where in) they will worship Me (Almighty) and will not associate aught with Me. And if anyone does deny after this, so they will be deemed wicked (فاسقون).
This verse is a Quranic generalisation of the fact that whenever people rise to any occasion, whether the occasion is social, political, moral or spiritual, and whenever they show a resilience on the basis of a firm belief in higher moral and spiritual principles and when ever this resilient belief is translated in to a meaningful and goal oriented action (Amal e Sualeh), then it is the law of Divine Providence to bestow upon such a people, in lieu of their faith and character, an inheritance upon the land which verily manifests the Divine will and guidance for the betterment of humanity. Thus the faithful and upright people become the via media for the betterment, elevation and prosperity of God’s creation as such. Because of their righteousness, the environs become so blessed that all fearfulness gets transformed in to an era of peace and prosperity for all. And within this blessed scheme of things all slavery is brought to a naught with the effect that none other than the creator of the Universe is worshipped, thus freeing man from worshipping another man merely on the basis of his political, social or hereditary authority.
Etymologically speaking, the Laam I Taakeed which comes recurring throughout the verse, makes this law a Divine imperative, provided the men take recourse to Imaan and Amal e Sualeh.
I sincerely believe that the political and social character which you often refer to, is duly manifested in this verse. And I hope that working according to this Divine spiritual imperative, you will always be bestowed with the choicest Nusrat and Naseer by the Divine providence. Even Allah’s Prophets too asked for a Naseer, a Wazeer or whatever we may call it, may you too find the men of character who voice resonates with that of yours.
If the verse mentioned above is not the same as was intended in your video, still people like me wish to be remembered in your duas near the Rauza Muqaddas of our Beloved and Revered Mustafa (May peace and blessings be upon him, his progeny and his companions).
Do remember us in the city of the Beloved.

@GemsOfJKPC Earnest voice raised in defence of one’s people carries far greater moral weight than a carefully manufactured spectacle designed merely to elicit public sympathy.
We have witnessed enough of the National Conference’s political theatre over the decades to know the difference between genuinely fighting for one’s people and manufacturing a spectacle for public sympathy.
@bonipan Look who’s talking someone whose credibility exists largely within a small echo chamber where a handful of loyalists spend their evenings validating one another.
@UbiquitousLenz Politician who places principle above office,conviction above convenience and public trust above personal advancement is not diminished by ridicule.If anything the ridicule merely reveals how uncomfortable principled politics can be to those accustomed to politics as possession.
To our Master, Imam Mahdi (aj): With faith in Almighty God, taking recourse in the Infallible Imams (pbut), and following the path of our martyred Leader, we are standing steadfast under your flag against the Front of Disbelief and Arrogance.
Dr. Israr Ahmed Sahab was a genius in his own right. If we agree with him, we learn from him and even if we disagree with him at occasions, we still learn something from him. This is because of the civility and intellectual decency in his presentation of the arguments.
The sweeping and disgusting remarks about such personalities by some one on social media, who so ever he may be, is totally unacceptable.
No body can be policed to agree or disagree with someone. But levelling the charges of heresy against anyone you don’t agree with and that too without substantiating your sweeping assertions with facts and logic is utter hooliganism, jingoism and lack of civility.
May Allah bless the noble soul of Dr. Israr sahab with Maghfirah.
It is very encouraging to see people, on the request of @khanqahIhydari, planting tens of hundreds of trees and posting their videos with beautiful messages about the benefits of afforestation on different social media platforms. The messages are coming across the Kashmir Valley with people of diverse age groups, gender and communities participating in the initiative and thus dedicating the planted saplings to their favourite personalities including those who stood against injustice and were martyred for upholding the principles of justice and humanity. There are still two more days remaining before the week long Go Green Initiative concludes. So all those who have not yet planted their saplings are requested to do so. Thanks for converting our humble request into an organised movement.
Neither the Americans, Western governments, nor governments in the region were aware of the true power of the Resistance. They know about it now. Look at the determination of the Resistance forces in Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq!

Responding to the week long Go Green Initiative of @khanqahIhydari, my elder sister Advocate Shajina Siddiqui planted a pomegranate sapling and dedicated it to the blessed memory of Hazrat Fatimah Zehra AS, with a wish that its fruits be cherished by all who wish to do so
