The world should know the name Abdul Baset al-Sarout. A football player born in Homs, Syria, in 1992, who left his entire life behind to join the Syrian revolution against the Assad regime- at its very beginning in March 2011. Sarout was a talented goalkeeper, once ranked second best in Asia, with a promising professional career ahead of him. He traded it all for the struggle. He played a prominent role in the demonstrations through his presence, his organisation, and by leading chants and songs that stirred the hearts of millions. Known as the 'Nightingale of the Revolution', his voice became the soundtrack of the uprising. Yet despite his fame, those who knew him recall his deep humility, a talent that never sought the spotlight, and a faith that anchored him. They speak of his fear of God, his gentleness, his unwavering trust in Him, and how he repeatedly called for unity in the revolution. When the dictatorial Assad regime and its allies (Russia, shia militias, and Iran) began murdering protesters, bombing cities, and besieging towns, Sarout fought on the front lines to defend his people, his religion, his land, and his honour. He battled against both East and West, alongside his people, to free Syria from the tyrannical regime and from every faction that sought a piece of their homeland. Sarout's father, four brothers, uncles, and countless friends were murdered. He buried many of them with his own hands. He was wounded multiple times, endured famine and grief, yet he kept going. Kept chanting for freedom. Kept lifting his people up to persevere. Sarout gave everything he had to free his people and his country, including his own life. On June 8, 2019, he passed away at the age of 27, from severe wounds sustained two days earlier while fighting Assad regime and Russian forces on the front lines in northern Hama. We ask God to accept him and his loved ones among the martyrs. Sarout is not just a legend in Syria, but across the entire region. And he deserves to be known across the world. الله يرحم روحك الطاهرة يا حبيبنا ساروت، ويتقبلك من الشهداء. طلبتَ الشهادة وبإذن الله نلتَها. ستبقى دوماً رمزاً للبطولة والحرية. #عبد_الباسط_الساروت
