00:00:00 --> 00:00:06
			All praise is due to Allah Almighty who
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			allowed us to witness this moment.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			This is history in the making, my brothers
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			and sisters, the fall of the tyrannical Assad
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:13
			regime.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			We can hardly believe it.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			This is one of the worst and most
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			despotic regimes the world has ever seen.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			And now we are talking about its demise,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			we are talking about building a new Syria.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:29
			We are like many of those prisoners who
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:34
			were freed, who came out running, exhilarated with
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			joy, not knowing what's going on, what's happening,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			what's happening.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			And you can see the ones who freed
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			them telling them, just go, you are free.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			You are free.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			The regime has fallen.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			We can hardly hold our tears.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			When we Syrians heard the news on December
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			8, 2024, when we realized that the regime
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			has fallen and that the tyrant has fled,
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			we could not believe it.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			It's like living a dream.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			It's a dream that we started thinking about
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:09
			some almost 14 years ago, when so many
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:13
			of the other Arab brothers were able to
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:17
			get their freedom from their despotic regimes.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			But the Syrians, you can hear almost quietly
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			whispering to themselves, are we also going to
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:29
			go out and call for freedom like everyone
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:29
			else?
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			Because the Syrians knew and still had the
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:37
			sour taste of Hama of 1982, that massacre
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			where tens of thousands were killed, possibly 40
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			or even more, 40,000 people in less
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			than a month by the father of Bashar
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:46
			al-Assad.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			With that in mind, people were very hesitant.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			But when they did go out and peacefully
		
00:01:54 --> 00:02:00
			ask for freedom, they realized that there is
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			no going back.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			That's it.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			And this is why, despite all of the
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			despair and the lack of hope and how
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:10
			long it took, the Syrian people came out
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			on several occasions to say, we are not
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			going back home.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			Until this regime falls.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made it
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			happen, Allahu Akbar.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:25
			By the great sacrifices of so many people,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:29
			of the Syrian people, of the fighters, of
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:33
			the activists, and all lovers of freedom all
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			around the world.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			My dear brothers and sisters, this is a
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			message of hope.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			This is a message of hope for all
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			who are under tyranny and who face injustice.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us in
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:55
			the Qur'an, Allah
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:59
			wants to confer favor upon those who have
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			been oppressed in the land.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			And we want to make them leaders and
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			we want to make them inheritors.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			There will be challenges, we know that very
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:06
			well.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:10
			There will be many difficulties ahead, but this
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			is insha'Allah the beginning of a new
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			future for Syria.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:20
			Congratulations to the Syrian people.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			We congratulate ourselves, we congratulate the whole Ummah.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:28
			And we congratulate everyone who is still under
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			injustice.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			And we say, insha'Allah, there will be
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			a time for your freedom as well.
