Superpower

A superpower that is stronger than mountains

In the Quran and Nahj al-Balaghah, a true superpower is measured not by weapons and wealth but by "divine glory" (وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِینَ - "And to Allah belongs all honor, and to His Messenger, and to the believers"), the "soft power of justice," and "influence over hearts"; not by the expanse of land, but by the expanse of mercy and dignity. Lasting power lies in "the competence of officials, the elimination of oppression, and the development of the country by the people," and it considers material criteria such as massive armies and full treasuries as "tools" not "inherent honor." Based on the verse (أَشِدَّاءُ عَلَی الْکُفَّارِ رُحَمَاءُ بَیْنَهُمْ - "hard against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves"), a divine superpower must be both severe against the enemy and kind among themselves – and this is the secret of immortality, not the atomic bomb and tanks.
