New video message from The Islamic State: "And That He Will Surely Substitute For Them, After Their Fear, Security – Wilāyat al-Khayr"
The title of this video is in reference to Qur’anic verse 24:55. Here it is in full: “God has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves after that – then those are the defiantly disobedient.”
