Abstract

Greater Syria was a collection of sacred Islamic countries before the era of colonialism, which included Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and present-day Syria. Present-day Syria is now referred to as "Syria," which was under the influence of the Byzantine government before Islam. However, during the time of Umar ibn al-Khattab, all the cities of Syria were brought into the fold of Islam.The land of Syria was a center for the political and religious activities of various prophets before the arrival of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), which is why Muslims, Jews, and Christians—all people of the Book—consider this land sacred. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) declared Syria to be a source of goodness and blessings for the Muslim Ummah, and in the blessed Hadiths, he described signs that indicate Syria will hold religious and political significance in the world before the Day of Judgment.In the present era, Syria and its neighboring countries are plagued by conflicts, influenced by American and European conspiracies aimed at weakening the military power of Arab countries and fracturing the Muslim Ummah. From the very beginning, the destruction of Syria has seen a significant role played by Jews and Christians, as they consider Muslims their enemies and are making every effort to establish their authority in Syria.In this context, present-day Syria has been completely devastated, and millions of Muslims have migrated to other Islamic and non-Islamic countries. Initially, this paper analyzes the Islamic history of Syria and examines it according to the Quran and Hadith. Continuing with this analysis, it provides a comprehensive overview of the current devastations in Syria, such as political instability, sectarian violence, civil war, and the tyrannical rule of Hafiz al-Assad and Bashar al-Assad.It also sheds light on the migration of Muslims and their issues. Thus, the aim of this research paper is to clarify the political and religious status of Syria in light of the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah, and to present the difficulties and problems faced by contemporary Syrian refugees, so that an accurate reflection of the situation in the region can be achieved.
