First time you hear "Islam" in Arab uprising from the blessed land of Syria!
Sayyidina Zayd ibn Thabit reported (RA): We were with Allah’s Messenger (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) making transcripts of the Qur’an on parchments. He said, “Blessed is Syria.” We asked, “Why is that so, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “Because the angels of the Compassionate One have spread their wings over it.” [Tirmidhi]
