Solidarity Message with the "Ahrar" Movement
In the name of Allah, all praise is due to Allah, and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.
This is a message of solidarity with my brothers from the "Ahrar" movement who were angered by their sister "Jihad Musa" - may God have mercy on her - and rose up against the neglect of human dignity. They were accused by the oppressors and attacked with beatings and imprisonment.
My beloved brothers and sisters, may God bless you for your courageous stance. You embody the Islamic values inherent in our nation that the oppressors have tried to erase; "So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers."
Advice for Steadfastness and No Regret
My first advice to you, my beloved: Do not let regret find its way into your hearts. The devil may whisper to you that you have gained nothing; the university president is still in his place, Jihad was not given justice, and your brothers are in prison. My beloved, if you have done what you did for the sake of Allah, then you have not lost. Rather, your reward is preserved, and your deeds are accepted by Allah. You will experience His blessings in this world before the Hereafter, by the will of Allah; "And be patient. Indeed, Allah does not allow the reward of the good-doers to be lost."
My beloved, if your protests forced the university president and the hospital director to resign, and the authorities to give justice to Jihad - may God have mercy on her - you would not have regretted it. Instead, you would have been happy that you took this step that heals your hearts and spreads your call. But Allah, the Most High, willed otherwise for a wisdom that He knows.
Actions are not measured by the immediate visible results, but by their conformity to the will of Allah and the sincerity of intention; "No disaster strikes except by permission of Allah. And whoever believes in Allah, He will guide his heart." So believe in the decree of Allah and trust in His wisdom and mercy. He will guide your hearts to understand and perceive the greater good that He will open for you from these events, by the will of Allah.
The Wisdom of Trials and the Dignity of the Believer
Among the wisdom of Allah, the Most High, in the upbringing of His devotees, is that if He wants to support and honor them, He first breaks them so that they may humble themselves to their Lord and submit. Their hearts are purified from arrogance and the desires of the self. It is mentioned in the tradition: "No servant is wronged with an injustice but that Allah increases him in honor through it."
By Allah, my brothers, I have seen from my Lord, the Most High, generosity, blessings, and the spread of my call after leaving prison for His sake, glorified be He. So rejoice, O you who have been harmed for the sake of Allah, and await honor and bounty from your Lord, by His permission.
O Ahrar and those who support them, by supporting the cause of Jihad - may God have mercy on her - you embody the values of chivalry, aid, and respect for the sanctity of life. You uproot from the minds of people the humiliating and shaken image of Islam that has been entrenched by those who have wronged Islam and misled people into believing that the religion of Allah is pleased with their humiliation and degradation.
Our call to live under the shade of the Sharia will not touch the hearts of people until we embody these noble values that are fought by the deniers of humanity. Many of those who blame you for "exaggerating the issue" - in their claim - have lost the value of the Muslim and consider their rights trivial.
Embodying the Meanings of Brotherhood in Faith
By supporting the cause of Jihad, you embody the hadith of the beloved Prophet ﷺ who said: "None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself." O you who blame the youth of "Ahrar" for exaggerating the issue in your claim, if you were in Jihad's place and felt the neglect that ends your life, what would you say to those who come after you before you take your last breath? Would you tell them, "Do not exaggerate the issue"? Or would you say, "Demand my right and put an end to this farce so that what happened to me does not happen to others"? Is your self more precious to you than the self of your Muslim sister?
Beloved Ahrar, the confrontation was bound to happen, whether with this issue or another. Falsehood cannot tolerate the truth, and its slogan is: "Expel them from your town." If the Muslims do not stand firm against this arrogance, falsehood will strive to devour new areas of freedom every day.
We do not call you to rush into confrontation with anyone, my brothers, but we call you to perseverance and steadfastness until the falsifiers are forced to face the reality of what happened with Jihad - may God have mercy on her - and not repeat this neglect, and the release of your brothers detained in connection with her case. And we say to every honorable person among the followers of the parties and others: this is your cause altogether. So live the causes of your nation and support your brothers, otherwise expect the evil of their abandonment in this world before the Hereafter; "There is no man who abandons a Muslim in a place where his honor is diminished and his sanctity is violated, except that Allah will abandon him in a place where he loves his support."
Greetings and thanks to those who supported the cause from the students and all other movements.
Poem: Who is the Prisoner?
Dedicated to the beloved who were imprisoned unjustly and aggressively in connection with the sit-in, I dedicate to them a poem that I had written during my imprisonment addressing my sister, and I have revised and added to it to direct it to these beloved ones. The poem is titled "Who is the Prisoner":
My sister came to me in prison ... adorned with steadfastness and dignity
She said, I have come to you as an advisor ... to increase your determination with resolve
Do not despair, my brother, and be patient, and be filled with glad tidings
You will not rise to the degrees of glory ... if you do not taste the bitter
My sister, do not fear anything ... for your brother knows the chosen one
If I were living in comfort ... I would not fear the misfortunes
Full of life with many companions ... I travel freely
And when I look around me ... I see only bars and walls
And I walk with shackles on my feet ... to meet a harsh judgment
The accusation is that I supported ... my fellow believers out of benevolence
If I sleep, I dream of my children ... and remember my return to the home
If my concern were for the world ... I would have met my brother in a state of joy
But I hope from my patience ... a garden teeming with flowers
I read and write thoughts ... and perform the night prayers
I ponder as I recite the Quran ... to discover the secrets
And I compose on the causes of patience ... so that people may be pleased with fate
And my soul circles, taking ... from the love of the Merciful its course
I stock up in the prison of piety ... and my enemy carries his burdens
How many free men I see ... like drunkards who are not drunk
But they have become accustomed to ... living in humiliation and zeros
They have abandoned religion in frivolity ... and have worshipped the dinar with seriousness
If they are angry, it is not for the sake of Allah ... but for the prices they have exploited
So who is the prisoner, me or them? ... If we increase the matter in insight
With my blood and my ink, I ransom you ... O you who have lived free
You ransom the Sharia of your Creator ... and the nation day and night
My brothers, do not fear anything ... for you have not come empty-handed
Is it shameful to be angry when they trample ... the right of Jihad and envy?
If the space is narrow for your chivalry ... then live free in prison
It is inevitable for those who carry the call ... to bear the damages
Allah would not have left us ... until we are distinguished as righteous
And He leads to the depths of Hell ... those who have hypocrisy and dispute
When we denied the denial ... and feared oppression and imprisonment
We did not give our youth ... role models filled with pride
So they took as their symbol of bravery ... those who denied God like "Che Guevara"
Is it befitting for the followers of Muhammad ... to emulate Che Guevara?
He who worships Allah the Almighty ... does not follow the current
He who seeks honor from other than ... the Merciful will be a loser
So the homes of spiders have resorted ... to destruction, hoping for construction
My brothers, do not fear ... you have supported a Mighty Lord
And Allah will defend you when ... He has promised the transgressors a severe punishment
Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
