Heart breaking news. May Allah give him/family patience and ease their struggle.

Ameen to the duas.

[Abu Talhah]

This is ridiculous, everyone knows the brothers stance on targeting women and children. Everyone knows that the brother condemns such acts. Did they miss that part?!

It's typical of how the 'Justice' Department operates - shoot, ready, aim. In other words, first arrest, charge, and generate fear through the media, then invent a plot, collect evidence to prove it, indict suspects, bring them to trial, and intimidate juries to convict because no one wants terrorists in their neighborhood even though the likelihood is virtually nil.

By the will of Allaah, our brother will be fine. This is a test for him and hardships benefit the believer. As for the oppressors and munafiqeen, their punishment is increasing and their end is coming

I'd like to share a reminder from our own, Tariq:

‘Uthman bin Shaybah – of the tribe of Bani ‘Abd ad-Dar – was the custodian of the Ka’bah, and was the carrier of its keys. One day, he opened up the Ka’bah for the leaders and heads of Quraysh, to find the Messenger of Allah amongst those waiting to enter it. ‘Uthman (then a mushrik) pushed the Prophet in the chest, saying to him: “You are not worthy of entering!” So, the Prophet said to him: “O ‘Uthman, what would you think if, one day, you were to see these keys in my hands, with me doing with them as I please?” ‘Uthman responded: “That would be the day that Quraysh will be destroyed and humiliated.” Not even ten years passed until the Messenger of Allah was holding onto the covering of the Ka’bah, looking at the massive number of people who had surrendered and submitted themselves to him and his army, saying to them: “O Quraysh! What do you think I should do with you?” He was saying this with the flashbacks and memories of thirteen years of pain and torture that he had suffered at the hands of those whose lives were now in his hands; memories that he could not bear to relive: of thorns being thrown in his path, of intestines being placed on his back while prostrating in that very location only years before, of the starvation, of the humiliation in front of his family and Companions – and now, he is asking them: “What do you think I should do with you?” He then walked over to ‘Uthman bin Shaybah, and took the keys to the Ka’bah from his hand.

Also, ponder over these more recent examples from the history of the Islamic movement in Egypt, in particular:Hamzah Basyuni was the warden of the Egyptian military prison in which Sayyid Qutb, Zaynab al-Ghazali, etc. were being held. When he would torture his prisoners, they would plead with him, saying “For the Sake of Allah, stop!” And what was his response? What was this filthy waste of a nutfah’s response to these Muslims? He would say to them: “If Allah Himself were to come here, I would throw Him into a prison cell!“ – Glorified is He. In Zaynab al-Ghazali’s memoirs, ‘The Return of the Pharoah,’ she mentioned how Hamzah Basyuni would say to her: “Which Hell is hotter: the Hell of your Lord, or the hell of ‘Abd an-Nasir? You will remain in the hell of ‘Abd an-Nasir until you approve of his rule!”

Not even eight months passed after Hamzah Basyuni supervised the execution of Sayyid Qutb, except that he and his assistants all found themselves thrown into the depths of prison.

Sha’rawi Jumu’ah – the Interior Minister, whose name would cause Egypt itself to shake in terror and fear – one day received a request from Muhammad Qutb to visit his sister, Hamidah, after not having seen her for seven years (they were in the same prison together). The request went through the prison guard first, and he was refused out of fear of Jumu’ah, saying that he was unable to help at all. The request was then passed on to the general supervisor of the prison, and he also refused to help, out of fear of the Interior Minister. Finally, the request reached Jumu’ah himself, to which he replied: “Tell Muhammad Qutb that he will not see his sister, either dead or alive.”

Not much time passed since this incident, except that Sha’rawi Jumu’ah – the feared Interior Minister – found himself thrown into the depths of prison, with Muhammad and Hamidah Qutb at home, safe and sound.

Finally, take the case of Anwar Sadat: he had thrown scholar after scholar into his jails, saying about the last one of them: “He is like a dog, rotting in prison!” Not even a month passed after this statement of his that he made in public, except that – while sitting in the midst of his bodyguards and secretaries – officers of his own army aimed their sniper rifles and shotguns at him, pointblank. Nobody lifted a finger to defend him or fend off the attack, save the bodyguard of the American ambassador who hapened to be present. Those who came to kill Sadat – may Allah have Mercy upon them – no attempt to stop or repel their attack was made, except from a single person sitting and guarding an American diplomat. And where is Sadat now…{“And neither the Heavens nor the Earth wept for them, nor were they given respite.”} [ad-Dukhan; 29]

So, these are a few examples in which the tables were turned before either side knew it, and it was made clear that the fate of all oppressors and wrongdoers is the same, sooner or later.

So, remember: {“And such are the days: We rotate them between the people…”} [Al 'Imran; 140] Allah Knows best.
