And if you die or are killed, surely to Allah you will be gathered." His recitation was magnificent and in a voice that is rarely repeated, as if he was heralding victory and martyrdom together and calling early for steadfastness in a Quranic performance that pulses with the revival of determination and the revival of ambitions, and everyone who hears it today marvels at this paradox.
