An important reminder from our beloved Shaykh: “They asked | Ansar ash-Shari’ah

An important reminder from our beloved Shaykh:

“They asked Abū ‘Ubaydah al-Khawwas why he hasn’t laughed in 40 years?

He said: How can I laugh when a Muslim is still imprisoned by the Mushrikīn? [Narrated in Sifāt as-Safwah (2/416)]

What would he do if he seen the attitude of Muslims today towards their captives! Torture, humiliation, violation, forgotten, neglected families!

Have you thought about Muslim captives or their families? Have you ever raised your hands in du’ā for them? Have you asked Allāh to keep them steadfast under the torture and in the dark lonely cells? Have you ever imagined feeling what they and their families feel?

Keep the answer between you and Allāh! But know: captives and their families have rights upon us, and He will ask us about it!”

— Shaykh Ahmad Jibrīl (حفظه الله).
