What is al-Sham? Almost no other region has as many virtues mentioned by the Prophet ﷺ about it as this region, which comprises Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan. It is a land of Prophets, miracles, the defeat of oppressors, and the gathering on the Day of Judgment. It is the heartland of the believers, the barometer of this ummah, covered by the angels’ wings, illuminated by the Prophet ﷺ’s light. What does all of this mean for our relationship with al-Sham?
