website accredited with introduction of the world with many reputable Ulama through
media. May Allah accept the efforts of Maulana Shafiq Ajmal Sahib! Amen! Today’s
discourse is about Aafia; so I would like to share what an English journalist Maryam
Ridley said when she visited our madrassa last week. She said that she used to curse
Taliban when she was in their custody but they never responded and always walked
away with their heads bowed. They often used to dine with dried piece of bread
and serve her with meat and fresh bread. Now a lady is in American detention, see
how America is treating her. She demanded Afia’s release and said that Afia would
be freed to share what happened to her during her imprisonment in America as I
shared my stories of imprisonment under Taliban. So, as far as I have heard West
proclaims championship of human rights so the cases of both these ladies should be
compared. Through your magazine, I demand her freedom as she has been exploited
a lot; not only she but also her children. I seriously think that if the rulers of Pakistan
and other Muslim countries would have strived for her as our Ulama did, Aafia would
have been freed till today. Even now if we resolutely try to make her free, we will be
succeeded. When a Muslim convert Maryam Ridley is convinced of trying for Aafia’s
freedom, why not we who are born and raised as Muslims should be more convinced!

The whole Muslim Ummah including me share the passions of grief and sorrow for Dr.
Aafia as she is an innocent lady victimized due to her affiliation with knowledge of Quran
and Sunnah. Allah Almighty has endowed her with extraordinary capabilities to serve
Islam. I believe in Allah that He will soon grant her freedom and the reward she will get
in the hereafter is definitely bounteous. Besides she has been blessed with worldwide
popularity and esteem and people all over the face of earth are praying for her. She has
chosen a hard path and obviously it is an ordeal for a human being but this is the way
of prophets and chosen people of Allah. Insha Allah she will be victorious in the end
and the enemies of Islam who detained her will never be able to fulfill their intentions.
Her mother, her sister Fowzia and their family all have countless sacrifices. Her father
was a very pious man; both by name and deeds. May Allah grant her success! Amen!

Afia is our sister and whole Islamic world has twofold obligations of securing her
freedom and making sure that such incidents would never be repeated again. Her
family is in fact our family and we all are her family as she is the daughter of whole
Muslim Ummah. She is and was sister of every Muslim but now every Muslim loves her,
feels her pain and sorrow in his/her heart. It is deplorable to see the apathy of Muslims
