What defines true strength?

Real strength was never in weapons, wealth, or the size of a nation’s power. Real ʿizzah is when a people hold onto truth even while they are being broken, persecuted, and tested. The Prophet ﷺ reminded the Sahabah that the greatest victory was not just worldly dominance, but that this dīn would spread wherever there is night and day. Empires rise and fall, but the promise of Allah remains.
