The barbarity of the Kyrgyz Special Forces by capturing sister Zulfiyya Amonova has proven and shown the Kyrgyzstan’s fear towards the rise of Islam there. Although she is only a woman, Zulfiyya Amonova was captured without knowing her condition because of her courage in defending justice for her father’s fate. Tactics like this are often done by the governments of Muslim countries who are timid and cowardly by hindering the struggle for Islam. However, Muslims will never stop in fighting for the cause of Allah because Muslims have been promised victory for them as Allah says in Surah as Saff, verses 10-11:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى تِجَارَةٍ تُنجِيكُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

“You who have iman! shall I direct you to a transaction which will save you from a painful punishment? It is to have iman in Allah and His Messenger and do jihad in the Way of Allah with your wealth and your selves. That is better for you if you only knew.”

(As-Saff: 10-11)

What has occurred to the family of Zulfiyya Amonova is definitely a form of persecution. All they intend in doing is carrying out the command of Allah سبحانه وتعالى which is enjoining the right, and forbidding the wrong (amar ma’ruf nahi munkar) as stated in Surah Ali-Imran verse 104:

وَلْتَكُن مِّنكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

“Let there be a group among you who call to the good, and enjoin the right, and forbid the wrong. They are the ones who have success.”

(Al-Imran, 3:104)

However, the leaders of the Kyrgyzstan force have used violence by ordering the Special Forces to arrest a young Muslim woman. What kind of oppression are you trying to show O tyrant? Is this the reason you have formed militaries in your country in order to prevent the struggle for Islam? You should know O tyrant, we will never ever back off from this struggle until Islam becomes a blessing once again for humankind. Behold, O tyrant, just wait for Allah’s torment upon you for the oppression that you have done if you do not repent!

We, the Muslim women from all over Malaysia pray that our sister Zulfiyya Amonova and her family to be given strength and patience, and may Allah سبحانه وتعالى ease all their matters. Allah will surely meet all sacrifices made with a great reward.
