Dear brother & sincere teacher,
When I heard from a friend that our imam was locked up I felt helpless and ashamed as it felt like they had taken away our dean. I immediately turned to Allah (swa) in du’ah for you and other such Muslims who are experiencing a similar fate. I did the only thing I was able to which was pray for your release knowing that only he Ar-Raheem can free us from the evil that surrounds us.
Alhamdulillah it was an opposite feeling when I heard of your release. Allah (swa) never burdens us with which we can not bare and I pray that he benefits the whole ummah with your knowledge and your experiences.
May Allah (swa) give you the blessings of revealing the knowledge that is hidden from us and which is so desperately needed for the protection of our ummah.
I pray that he Allah (swa) gathers us before him in the gardens of jannah (Inshallah)
From your brother in islam and humble student
Jazakamullah’Khayrun!

As-salamu alaikum warahmatullah
May Allah SWT give our Muslim brothers in prison, who are innocent patience and their family patience. SubhanAllah Imam you have suffered a great deal being in prison for such a long time, but alhamdulillah reading one of your posts here you found it a great experience, i was really inspired by the few lines of your post in which you mentioned something like “I felt the true, deep meanings of the Quran and that if you open your heart to it it will reveal its secrets to you” SubhanAllah!! this line was incredibly inspiring.
Imam Anwar I was wondering if you could make a thread about the brothers in Indonesia, Bali that were executed today. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon, it was really saddening to hear the news today
the authority shot them through the heart. AllahuAkbar were they even proven to do anything wrong?
Imam i dont want this thread created in order to judge whether or not hey were guilty. but i was wondering i you could please tell us what happened, coz i really dont know..all i hear in the australian news on TV is that “finally the terrorists were executed, but victims say it isnt enough…”
Please shed light on this topic Imam Anwar,
sister in Islam,
Hajra
