On Tuesday 11/10/2016, Haj Abu Malik, aged 55, was abducted from the city of Sakba. Four days later, Brother Abu Abdul Rahim Joubar aged 32 years was kidnapped from Ein Tarma area on Saturday night 15/10/2016.
We confirm that this kidnapping came after a campaign of incitement, threats and distortion that targeted the Dawah carriers in Ghouta, Damascus by figures from the faction Failaq Ar-Rahman and others associated to it. Failaq Ar-Rahman is in control of the two regions in which these two crimes took place.
This kidnapping was preceded by the assassination attempt on Sheikh Abu Suhaib al-Najjar by Jaysh Al-Islam on 04/04/2015 and the kidnapping of two members from Hizb ut Tahrir in Douma City on 26/4/2015. It turned out that they were held in Jaysh Al-Islam’s prison for seven months! The perpetrators of these senseless crimes who are not deterred by the saying of Allah سبحانه وتعالى:
وَلَا تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِينَ
“And desire not corruption in the land. Indeed, Allah does not like corrupters”
(Al-Qasas: 77)
وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِينَ
“and Allah does not like corrupters”
(Al-Ma’ida: 64)
They should know that the people of Ash-Sham will not leave the corrupters living unaccounted among them. The people of Ash-Sham came out in demonstrations to uproot the corruption and tyranny of the criminal Assad regime. The leaders of Failaq Ar-Rahman should punish the perpetrators of this crime, and they should fear Allah. Whoever thinks that he is given authority without checks and balances, he should know that Allah defends the believers, and that Allah is Strong and is the Avenger.
O Muslims in Ash-Sham in general and the people of Ghouta in particular:
Be as Allah wanted you to be: supporters of the truth and defenders of its people, and stop the oppressors who kidnap your sons. Know that your demand for the truth and perseverance on it, is an obstacle on the road of those tempted to disregard your blood and sanctities, or divert the path of your revolution, so stand with your brothers, the Dawah carriers. Do not let the fear of the tyrant’s oppression prevent you from saying the truth.
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad from Abu Sa’eed that he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
«لَا يَمْنَعَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ هَيْبَةُ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَقُولَ فِي حَقٍّ إِذَا رَآهُ، أَوْ شَهِدَهُ أَوْ سَمِعَهُ»
“No one among you should let the fear of the people prevent him from speaking the truth, if he saw, or witnessed, or heard it.”
