Unity transforms isolated efforts into a powerful collective force, forging strength through shared purpose and mutual respect. History shows that even perceived setbacks, like the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, can become victories when guided by wisdom and trust in leadership. Though its terms seemed unfavorable, the treaty brought peace, enabling growth and preparing the way for future triumphs. This timeless lesson urges us to stay united, trust our leaders, and rely on divine guidance, even in uncertainty. Together, setbacks become stepping stones, and challenges become opportunities. The power of a united front is unstoppable when aligned with vision and faith.

It teaches that even when outmatched, faith and determination can triumph over the odds. There is a striking resemblance to the battle unfolding in West Asia today. We have faced many losses, carried our wounds, and buried our martyrs. Yet our faith will not falter—and that is why, in the end, we will win.
