(noun / expression)
Pronounced: sir-MAA-yet ah-med al-shar-ʿ
Meaning: A sarcastic or blind expression of loyalty to Ahmad al-Sharʿ, often used unironically by his hardcore supporters, or mockingly by his critics.
Origin:
After the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, a new figure named Ahmad al-Sharʿ rose to power—formerly a jihadist turned politician, leading the HTS (Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham). While he presented himself as a reformer, actual change on the ground was minimal. Despite this, many Sunni Syrians, who form the country’s majority, gave him unwavering support, similar to the cult-like loyalty previously shown to Assad.
These supporters began replying to criticism online with phrases like:
"Ṣirmāyat Ahmad al-Sharʿ is worth more than your head"
"His slipper is above your head"
These are Arabic idioms that basically say: "How dare you criticize the man who saved us?"
Eventually, they shortened it to just: "Ṣirmāyat Ahmad al-Sharʿ", making the man’s shoe a symbol of unquestioned devotion.

Get the Slipper Clappermug. The most powerful weapon in the universe, first weaponized by the Asians before physics was invented. It is capable of both short and long range devastation, and in the old days it could even be finessed through time and space. It also doubles as fashionable footwear and as such, is very easy to deploy quickly if you know what you are doing.
