In 2019, a Taliban commander highlighted Al Qaeda's enduring presence, attributing it to a value system that prioritizes the Hereafter over worldly concerns. This ideology, which promises no material rewards but emphasizes patience and faith amid life's trials, has resonated deeply with supporters. It has allowed Al Qaeda to survive post-9/11 challenges and expand globally, fostering an environment for violence and innovative tactics, such as suicide units with advanced IED knowledge. This framework has been disseminated to affiliates and inspired youth, emphasizing the pursuit of Akhirah as compelling motivation.
"Jihad(ism) is not like communism that collapsed under pressure. Al Qaeda does not promise to materially change lives, but prioritizes the Hereafter."
"This worldly life is a temporary test, and patience is essential for achieving victory and success in both this life and the eternal one."
