Post Your Messages of Support for Sister Aafia!

[Abu Sabaya]

Please post your messages of support for our sister Aafia Siddiqui here, and when there are enough of them, I will make a printout and give them to her lawyer to pass on to her.

In case you don't want your name to be seen by anyone for some reason, I will be copying and pasting all the messages onto a Word file so as to show nothing more than the actual message (unless you want to sign your name at the bottom of yours).

You have no idea what this woman is going through! Please make this a long, comforting thread!

[IbnHashimBinUthman]

This will expose the lies of the Americans, the ongoing injustices/atrocities commited against Muslim women and children by the Americans increasing the huge list of crimes commited against Humanity by America. The citizens of the World already have unsimpathatic views towards America and Americans for their numerous crimes against innocents of the World especially the Muslim world, resulting in the growing unpopulaity of America and Americans in the eyes of the World.
We urge them to let her (Afia Siddiqui) and her children go free and urge them for their safety and security and will not stop campaigning on behalf of many innocents being held and tortured by Americans worldwide.

Assalamu alaikum respected, honorable sister Aafiyah

I feel shameful to write this. But, it is important to overcome this feeling of shame to get a chance to convey how others and I feel. I lived most of my life in Karachi not too far from where you once lived in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, so this hits close to home.

By Allah, you are honorable and I'm not; you are brave and I'm not. You are closer to Allah and I don't know my status in the eyes of Allah. I ask Allah for forgiveness and then ask for your forgivness for forgetting you after initial reports five years ago and for not raising my voice about your cause. However, some people (organizations) have diligently worked to seek justice for you and for those in similar situations. Sister, know that people believe in your complete innocence, they feel your pain and they worry and pray about you and your children. May Allah keep you firm on this religion and raise your children as Muslims, and give all of us death on the religion of al-Islam, ameen.

Sister Aafiyah, your sister Dr. Fawzia and others, are keeping your cause alive back in Pakistan. The people from all walks of life in Karachi and other parts of the country have come out in streets and protested in your and your children's support. Many columnists in Jang, Jasarat, Ummat, etc. have written emotional pieces and cried out loud on your circumstances.

Oh Allah, make our sister Aafiyah's release possible quickly and join her with her children in this life and in the hereafter. Oh Allah, azza wa jall, honor her and us in this world and in the hereafter. Oh Allah, raise her and us in the company of the prophets, the martyred, the truthful and the righteous, ameen.

"Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

Sister, only Allaah knows what you've been through. All of us Muslims have the deepest worries and sympathies for you, may Allaah reward you for each and every second of your hardship, and may He, the Most High alleviate all of your pain and distress and grant you a swift entry to Jannat al-Firdaws.

I personally found out some years ago about your case through the CagePrisoners website, and since then, like many others, have not forgotten your name. Once again, may Allaah alleviate your stress and pain and allow you a swift release. Allaahumma Aameen!"

For the Pleasure of My Lord,
The Prisons Come Perfumed

Dear Sister, who dwells in these prisons
To you I write with distresses,

If to Allāh you hold fast
Then what harm will a misfortune of time do to you?

Beware dear Sister, of making your corrupting your thoughts
Regarding the Promise of the Deity, Mighty and Strong,

Verily, He has promised the Believers with Salvation
As He saved Yūnus from the dark depths of the belly of the Fish,

Dear Sister, before you, passed the ancient ones
These prisons are but like those prisons,

Did not Yūsuf dwelled in them for a phase
And Mūsā, the tyrants threatened him with it,

And such was the Messenger of the Generous Deity
To imprison him, the pagans plotted,

So my Lord saved him through his Hijrah
In the company of that trustworthy friend,

And in their footsteps, the Believers traversed
Like Ahmad, that firm Imām,

And likewise Ibn Taymiyyah was blessed with it
In the fortress of Shām, as a prisoner he dwelled,

Hundreds of thousands of the True Faithful
Dwelled for a time in these prisons,

Be not weak, dear Sister, nor lose hope
When your time comes, nor submit,

Strengthen yourself by remembering the Deity, Most Supreme
And hasten in memorizing the Manifest Book,

That is for your heart a secure stronghold
And this is for your spirit an assisting provision,

These are hardships, soon they will all cease
And remaining from it will be various fruits and benefits,

So if they intimidate you, and they threaten you
Never weaken, or soften to them,

And even if they insult you, and they torture you
And if they beat you, submit not,

You are not the first to be tortured
For a Mighty Religion and a Manifest Legislation,

Nor are you alone on this Path
For there are countless caravans throughout the years,

And if an ‘Eid passes by, and a son is born
And months rotate, while you are imprisoned,

Do not grieve O Sister of the Righteous Ones
Of departing from family and losing children,

And if they forbid you from their visits
And likewise their letters never appear,

So if this is for a Lord and Religion
Then where is the patience, where is the certainty!?

And where are your past speeches
Regarding the (weight of the) Millah of that Trustworthy Messenger?!

That Intimate Friend went willingly
To slaughter his son, a clear trial,

On a magnificent, noble day like today
Without any anxiety, he put him down upon his forehead,

So my Lord saved him through His Good Will
And ransomed him with a fat sheep,

But you, your sons are in a carefree life
And diversion and amusement, and a secured home,

Yet you have not been asked to slaughter them
Rather, merely for patience of a temporary separation,

For verily, they are in the care of a Merciful Lord
And you are in solitude with Him and Faith,

For the Pleasure of a Lord and assisting a Religion
Life and all children become insignificant,

For the Pleasure of a Lord, Mighty and Generous
The prisons come perfumed, and the bitter come sweet …

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakathu Sister Aafia,

I first came to know about your disappearance about 8 months ago through the cageprisoners website and I remember thinking at that time that surely this has to be some sort of joke. And I am ashamed to say that I had totally forgotten about your ordeal until just a couple of months ago when it came up in the news once again.

My eyes are filled with tears as I type this oh sister! Tears of anger, sadness and helplessness. Oh ukhti! What you must have gone through all those years. We should all be ashamed of ourselves. How we are able to preoccupy ourselves with the petty distractions in this dunya, while our beloved sisters like you are in the hands of the enemy. Indeed ukhti it is unforunate that we are living in times where finding real muslims in heart and deed, is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Oh my beloved sister in Islam, hold on and remember that it is only due to Allah's Great Love for you that He has ordained that you go through this trial. Indeed look back into history and remember that only a chosen few of Allah's servants were ever honored to go through hardship and suffering for the Sake of the Most High. Those were the Prophets, the Siddiqun, the Shuhadaa, and the Muhsineen; and insha Allah like those passed away, you will have a place with them, with the Highest Companion.

Rejoice Oh my beloved sister in Islam! For we are the ones who should be weeping and grieving, for our position and status in the Eyes of Allah is unknown. You however have insha Allah earned the beautiful palaces, thrones and jewels of Jannah; and most importantly the Pleasure of your Lord.

Insha Allah you will be in my du'as every single night of the coming blessed month of Ramadhan. I pray that Allah accepts your sacrifice and I pray he causes the ground to shake under those who have oppressed you. I ask one favour from you though Oh sister! That you make du'a for me too. Because right now, there is no veil between you and Our Lord so raise your hands high and pray for the victory for the Ummah of Muhammad(saw). What a noble position you are in now my sister.

I love you for Allah's Sake and I pray that IF I do not get to see you in this life, that I have the honour of being beside you in Al jannah Firdaus.
May Allah protect you and your entire family.

On behalf of your brothers and sisters in Nigeria,
Farida Idris Ibrahim (ummafnaan)

Akhi Abu Sabaya,

May Allah reward you abundantly for this thread and your efforts. Please, please akhi is there anyway we can assist, financially, etc. Do you have direct contact with her lawyer, or family? Please akhi let us know if she needs anything whatsoever.

[Abu Sabaya]

Are you people freaking serious? What the heck is wrong with you?

Over 90 views of the thread and only five people bother to post a message? al-Mu'tasim razed an entire city to the ground for a single Muslim woman prisoner, and you can't bother to write a few lines to this sister from the comfort of your homes?

Do you have any idea what state of mind she is in?

[Abu Treika]
