I’ll give some commentary on the quoted dream by sister Aafia Siddiqui (May Allah hasten her release and descend the worst punishment upon her oppressors) and her case but before the commentary, I’ll provide a summary of her background and her case. It is important for us Muslims to know properly about her and what she has been made to go through and how she has endured the severe trial with both patience and braveness beyond just the superficial knowledge that most of us possess concerning her. This is because in order to truly contemplate the meaning behind the words said by the Prophet (ﷺ) [in her dream] we need to know who she is, what her trial is and what the trial for the ummah means.

Background

Dr. Aafia Siddique is a Pakistan born Sunni Muslim who moved to the US in 1990. She obtained BS (Bachelor of Science) from MIT in 1995 and PhD in Neuroscience from Brandeis University in 2001. Her religious commitment goes without a saying as she was a devout muslim woman apart from being an excellent Neuroscientist and an educator. She would perform her obligatory duties as a muslim woman, observe the Hijab (headcovering) and avoid music, movies and television except for news, and she was committed to Dawah and relief work.

Dr. Aafia was married to Amjad Muhammad Khan in 1995 and had three children, a son, Muhammad Ahmed, a daughter, Mariam binti Muhammad, and another son, Suleiman. She came back to Pakistan from the US in 2002 and in the same year she was divorced with Amjad and later married Ammar al Baluchi in 2003 but the marriage also did not last longer than a few months. But her family denies the claim that she was ever married to Ammar.

Her Disappearance

Following the year 2002, she was already under the scrutiny of the FBI due to her involvement in Islamic activism. The FBI started to find connections between Dr Aafia and Al-Qaeda and began questioning her possessions and subsequently framing her for terror activities and listed her as an Al-Qaeda operative.

In 2003, she along with her three children took a taxi to Karachi Airport but they were abducted on their way by the Pakistani Intelligence Agency working as a Joint Operation with the US Military after which all four of them were handed over to the US government in exchange for reward money (as stated by Clive Stafford). This kidnapping was never disclosed and she was believed to have been missing for the next five years. For five years until 2008, she was being held a prisoner at Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan where she was subjected to torture.

Her youngest son who was only a few months old was apparently killed shortly after the kidnapping and it was never made known to his mother, Aafia. The older son Ahmed was imprisoned at the age of six along with her mother in Afghanistan. Ahmed was returned to his aunt Fowzia Siddiqui in Pakistan in 2009 and after another year in 2010, Mariam was returned after 7 years in US custody.

Sentencing

On 23rd September, 2010, she was sentenced to 86 years in prison on the charge of shooting at a US military personnel in Ghazni even though she was the only one who was shot by another officer present at the moment.

She is currently being held at FMC Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas, and she is set to be released not before 30th June, 2082.

Condition in Prison

Dr. Aafia Siddiqui is kept in one of the worst prison conditions and she is constantly subjected to systematic abuse, torture, attempts of rape and assault. The swines of the Federal Prison employ all their methods to hurt the sister of the ummah in the worst ways possible.

She is denied visitation by her family and lawyers. Her sister Fowzia was not allowed to meet her until after 20 years of her detention, once, in May 2023. She is also denied any allowance sent to her by the family and even medical assistance.

The prison guard swines told Dr. Aafia to walk on the Qur’an to which she denied so she was hit and badly wounded by the rear of their rifle. Such incidents and possibly worse has happened where she was forced to disrespect Islam with threats and physical assault which remain undisclosed.

She is even denied a visit by any imam for spiritual solace.

She was also prevented from seeing merely the pictures of her two children during the visit of her sister Fowzia in 2023.

Her sister Fowzia described that Dr. Aafia’s appearance has been worsened so much to the point she couldn’t recognise her at first glance, during her visit in 2023. She appeared as though skin had been wrapped around a skeleton, missing some of her teeth and her eyes sunk in.

Despite all of that, her faith in Allah and His religion never diminished. She would do dhikr of Allah and make dua to Allah all her time in prison. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) appeared in her dreams on multiple occasions, and in one of her dreams it was confirmed to her that her youngest son Suleiman was dead.

Current Situation

As of now, she’s still in Federal custody facing all the same oppression from the flag-bearers of justice after 23 years. The leaders of Pakistan has been avoiding the petitions filed by Dr. Aafia’s family and her supporters, and they haven’t shown any genuine interest in bringing her back to Pakistan. The Muslim leaders have been sleeping on her case ever since as they sign agreements with the US and Israel to aid their war crimes in the Middle East.

As she remains in prison denied to access to even some of the letters sent by her family, far from the sight of her children, she only receives news about the passing of her family. Her mother Ismat Siddiqui passed away in July 2022 without ever getting to see Aafia’s face in 19 agonizing years. In April 2026, Emad Siddiqui, who was Aafia’s nephew, was shot dead in America at the age of 19.

Commentary

In sha Allah, Dr. Aafia has a status of being a wali of Allah which explains that Allah gave her the opportunity to see the Prophet (ﷺ) in her dream, and also explains why she is being tested this way,

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: “Indeed greater reward comes with greater trial. And indeed, when Allah loves a people He subjects them to trials, so whoever is content, then for him is pleasure, and whoever is discontent, then for him is wrath.” (Tirmidhi, 2396)

And it is a test for us, however Allah is not pleased with us except for the ones who are struggling to free her from the clutches of the disbelievers. She exposes the ummah’s weakness and its backwardness in terms of religion because after almost a quarter of a century, we haven't been able to do anything significant to free her.

All we have managed to do is run some twitter hashtag campaigns and sign some online petitions begging the monsters to release her, to no avail. And don't get me wrong, I would not love anything more if the petitions work and they set her free but the bitter truth is that it is hopeless and it is not enough struggle on our behalf. Close assessment of her case will make us realise how much struggle is due upon us.

She's a sister, which should already make us furious, who's being held prisoner in one of the most secure facilities, in the custody of the strongest military nations in the world.

It is not going to be as easy as spending some time on forms and forums demanding her release for us to pass the trial. Petitions have been filed, thousands of hashtags have been created and millions of people have requested her release, heck deals of prisoner exchange have been made, she still remains in their shackles.

The reason why is in the answer to the question, “Why Dr. Aafia?” It is because she is a thorn on the necks of the western kuffar, the so-called “Champions of Human Rights”. Dr. Aafia single-handedly demolishes the entire religion of the west. The west cannot let a Muslim female scientist go around preaching the religion of Allah and expose the religion of the west. They only want slaves like Malala Yousafzai to represent “educated muslim women” who advocate for the western religion of ‘Feminism’. Dr. Aafia’s mere being has had a choking effect on the west which is why they had to pursue her. They feel powerful by containing her, detaching her from the world and torturing her, but by Allah she is more powerful than them.

America knows what they are. They are not going to be moved by our cries and requests. There's a reason the biggest sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein only served 18 months in 5-star prison with frequent outings, while Dr. Aafia Siddiqui is sentenced to 86 years in prison for being a fundamentalist muslim (May Allah be pleased with her). There's a reason why they release a ton of documentaries featuring Afghan women about their “education situation” but nearly nothing about the muslim prisoners, or their mass killings. There's no heart in there which can hear you.

Then we assess our own situation. We are here struggling throughout our lives just to get a visa to America or the UK for a more “peaceful life”. We overlook our own sisters being involved in illicit relations with non-believers. We have left out enjoining good and forbidding evil out of shyness towards the kuffar, N’audhubillah. We let our own kins die at the hands of the disbelievers and we do nothing. We try to integrate the western values into our muslim societies to please them. We forget our captives in just a few days. All we care about is our own comfort, security and sustenance. There is no ghayrah left in us.

Even though she is the one in captivity of the west while we roam free, she's the one who's truly liberated from them while we're the ones who are captives of the west. I hope I don't have to elaborate on this reality.

"Freedom is not merely walking outside these iron bars; freedom is living by the truth. Those who compromise their faith to walk the streets are the true captives behind the invisible bars of fear.”

~ Sayyid Qutb (رحمہ اللہ)

Some muslims also try to debate whether Dr. Aafia was truly associated with Al-Qaeda or made remarks against America, as if she were, that should change the way they view her case and potentially justify her prison sentence. This is a low that some people have fallen to. May Allah guide them.

This trial demands struggle, fight and sacrifices from us. As severe this trial is, as large a change it will require. Her freedom is not the end of it, in fact we shouldn't stop at just her freedom. Remember, she's just one of many such muslim prisoners across the world. If we don't avenge them then, it will be loss of justice for them, and for the ummah. For that, the truthful among the ummah needs to come together, abandon their comfort, reject all tawagheet and resist until Allah alone is worshipped. That is when oppression will truly cease to exist.

May Allah hasten her release and be pleased with her. May Allah descend His punishment upon her oppressors and humiliate them in this world and in the hereafter.

On 17th September 1948, Vallabhbhai Patel (لعنه الله) led a Military Action codenamed Operation Polo aimed to annex the Independent Princely State of Hyderabad into the Indian Union. The Police Action was but a five day long bloodshed that stretched for years of massacre of thousands of Muslims by the Indian Military and Hindu mobs. The Sunderlal committee estimates that the number of Muslims killed during and after the Operation is 27,000 to 40,000 while independent fact finders put the number between 50,000 to 200,000. The massacres spread across Hyderabad, Karnataka and Maharashtra.

Bairagarh, Madhya Pradesh: Auto-rickshaw driver Mohammad Salahuddin Qureshi was on his way to pick up a passenger when his booking was canceled. Seeing a religious display (jhanki) being set up ahead, he assumed the road was blocked and began reversing his auto-rickshaw.

At that moment, a motorcyclist parked his bike directly behind the auto-rickshaw. When Salahuddin requested him to move the bike back, the motorcyclist allegedly looked at Salahuddin's beard and cap, hurled a religious slur ("Katuwa") at him, and attacked him. It is alleged that several acquaintances of the motorcyclist also joined in and assaulted Salahuddin. He managed to escape to save his life, but after running a short distance, he was caught again and beaten further.

During the assault, when Salahuddin called upon Allah, the attackers allegedly taunted him, saying, "Call your Allah." They then grabbed him by his beard, forced him to chant "Jai Shri Ram," and vandalized his auto-rickshaw.

After the incident, the accused brought Salahuddin to the nearby police station and attempted to frame him in a false case. However, an bystander who had recorded the assault arrived at the station and showed the video footage to Sub-Inspector (SI) Sachin Verma. Despite viewing the video evidence, the SI reportedly refused to record Salahuddin's actual statement, drafted a report of his own accord, and forcibly took Salahuddin's signature on it.

The Goalpara district administration demolished 73 houses in Krishnai on Monday, September 6, during an eviction drive targeting homes allegedly built without permission on land classified for agricultural use.

The operation covered five revenue villages, including Kharija Paikan, Khamar Manikpur, Bhojmala Part II, Jatsharbadi and Tengabari. Officials deployed excavators, JCB machines and bulldozers to remove the structures.

Administration Cites Land Use Rules

The district administration said the affected residents had allegedly constructed houses without obtaining approval to change the land use classification from agricultural to residential.

Goalpara District Commissioner Pradip Timung said the action was aimed at protecting agricultural land, water bodies and natural drainage channels.
