The questions sent to Your Excellency the Shaykh are numerous, but perhaps we can limit ourselves to a few. The questioner says, may Allah preserve you: Is naming with the term "revolutions" a legitimate Islamic name?
Answer:
Revolutions, revolutions—the sincere Muslims do not know them. As for the hypocrites, and those with weak minds and weak faith, they are deceived by them.

Especially during trials, hardships, and facing the enemy, it is necessary to be steadfast, it is necessary to be united, it is necessary to cooperate against the enemy's schemes, it is necessary to clarify the enemy's plans and objectives, it is necessary to do this.
