Babar Ahmad: Two Years In Captivity



"The first minute of captivity is the hardest. Then the first hour. Then the first day. Then the first week. Then the first year.

The first minute is when you freeze in shock and disbelief (I cant believe this is really happening). The first hour is spent in anxiety about what lies ahead. The first day is when it begins to sink in that you really are in prison. The first week is occupied in trying to reconcile a mind still thinking about the outside world (family, job, bills, car, etc.) with a body in captivity. By the end of the first month your mind starts to fall closer into line with your body as you begin to accept that you are in prison..."

..brother Babar has been through so much and yet he is still positive and has strong eeman, eeman which puts us to shame as we, having seen the recent raids, have become frightened to practice our deen, to even pray salah when we are doing nothing wrong. Please remember, only one has rights over you and that is Allah(swt).
