A martyr was elevated to the mercy of Allah Almighty and we do not commend anyone over Allah, member of Hizb ut Tahrir Rozyev Farhad from the Uchtepa District in the province of Tashkent at the age of 42 years. Farhad (Rahimahullah) was as an example of sincerity and purity, and exemplary in his fear and taqwa of Allah Almighty. He (Rahimahullah) endured in the prisons of tyrant Karimov for many years, without lessening his conviction or deteriorating his determination. On the contrary, the ordeal increased his Imaan and confidence in the realization of the glad tidings of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم:
«ثم تكون خلافة على منهاج النبوة»
“Then there will be a Khilafah on the method of Prophethood.”
This is the reality of our situation under the oppressive rule: prison, detention, oppression and harassment; and rivers of Muslim blood flowing in all four corners of the world. The blood of our brother Farhad is not the first pure blood that has been spilled particularly in Uzbekistan, where the struggle between truth and falsehood is most intense, and the war rages between good and evil. The falsehood under the lead upon the insistence of the criminal Jewish Karimov and his torturers, under whom tyranny took over the lands and corruption has spread, have not left a single peril except they came with it, nor have they left out a single crime except they committed it. The truth is spread by a handful of pious, pure Muslims who call to the pure clear Islam as descended upon the heart of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, and work to apply this Islam in the reality and lives of the people through the second rightly guided Khilafah on the method of Prophethood.
The family of martyr Farhad received his pure body from the Karual Bazaar prison in the Bukhara Province. In the habit of the criminal regime in its pursuit to hide its crimes from the public opinion, the security forces “SNB” and the local police were ordered to bury him immediately, and did not allow his relatives, friends or neighbors to conduct the prayer for him or to participate in the burial. The corpse of the martyr was laid to rest on Monday, 21st October 21 2013 after ‘Asr prayer, where some of his family member were able to conduct the funeral prayer for him.
We ask Allah Almighty to have the widest mercy on our brother Farhad, and that He honors his rest and expands its entrance, and that He gathers him with the Prophets, and the truthful, and the martyrs and those who form the best company. We ask Him to inspire his family, parents and brothers from the Da’wah carriers with steadfastness, insistence and consolation.
الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُواْ إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ
“Those who, when disaster strikes them, say, ‘We belong to Allah and to Him we will return.'”
