PRISONERS OF FAITH (A Heartfelt Du'a)

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

"It is obligatory upon the Muslims to release their prisoners, even if it exhausts every penny of their wealth" Imam Malik bin Anas.


O Allah, Release the Muslim captives in every place!
O Allah, Release the captives in Cuba and Afghanistan!
O Allah, Release the captives in Kashmir and Chechnya!
O Allah, Release the captives in America and Pakistan!
O Allah, Release the captives in Jerusalem and in every place!

O Allah, whoever showed enmity to them, Show enmity to him!  
And whoever harmed them, 
then Harm him! And whoever helped them, then Help him!
And Make him firm upon the Truth!

O Allah, Preserve their Deen for them! And their honours! And their selves! O Allah, they are weak, so Strengthen them! Oppressed, so Help them! Afflicted with trials, so Make them Steadfast!

 
O Allah, Protect them from between their hands, from their right, from their left, from above them and that they are, with Your Might, protected from being swallowed from beneath them! O Allah, indeed they are your servants! They left in Your Way, to seek Your Pleasure!
O Allah, Send them Your Mercy! And send upon them tranquillity. And Make them firm, O Lord of the Worlds! O Allah, Calm their nervous ones! And Soften their afflicted ones! And Lighten their stressed ones! And Cure their sick ones! And Strengthen their despondent ones!
 
O Allah, their helpers have failed them! And they have none left but You as a Protector and a Helper! O Allah, Help them with your distinct, powerful help, sooner rather than later, O All-Hearing, O All-Seeing! O Allah, the One who released Yunus from the stomach of the whale! Release them from their captivity, safe, sound and victorious! O Allah, Return them to their families and their children and their friends, sooner rather than later! O Allah, Grant patience to their families, children and loved ones! And Grant them steadfastness.
O Lord of the Worlds!

O Allah, indeed they have grief-struck, weeping mothers, and fathers in pain and distress, and children whose tears do not stop at their separation from their father!
O Allah, Join them with their families and friends, sooner rather than later!
O Allah, have Mercy on them with the expanse of Your Mercy! And Be Sufficient for them with the greatness of Your Tenderness!

O Answerer of Supplications!
O Allah, to You do we complain of the weaknesses of our strength, the lack of our means and our failure in front of the people,
O Most Merciful One! You are the Most Merciful of those who show mercy! And You are the Lord of the oppressed ones! And You are our Lord! To whom should they turn to?! To the distant enemy who is disgracing them?! Or to the Near Friend who is responsible for their affairs?!

If You are not angry with them, then we do not care, except that Your forgiveness is sufficient for them!

We seek refuge with Your Light that enlightens the darkness, and reforms the affairs of the World and the Hereafter, from Your Anger or Wrath upon them!

To You be praise until You are Pleased, for there is no power or might except with You!

O Allah, this is our humble supplication for which we await Your Answer! And this is our effort for which we await Your Acceptance!

And Peace and Blessings upon our Messenger, Prophet Muhammed (saw) and upon all his Family and Companions!

Ameen.
“The real prisoner is someone whose heart is imprisoned from his Lord; the true captive is someone captured by his passions.” (Ibn Taymiyyah)
