OUR PUREST NATIONAL PERSONALITY

Dear audience, I wish to say few short statements on the inexpressible personality of Mawlana Faizani Sahib. Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: 'good statements are those which are short but imply great meaning.' I intend to express to you some facts about Mawlana Faizani Sahib which are absolutely true! I witnessed these facts from him during my imprisonment in the Puli Charkhi prison.

• Mawlana Faizani Sahib was a great believer! Period.
• His strong faith and enthusiasm has had a positive impact on my entire life.
• Mawlana Faizani was extremely brave; he had no fear of anyone other than God.
• His speeches were always very impressive and brought positive change in people's hearts - they would afterwards repent for their mistakes.
• In the prison, there was a communist as well; every time he heard Mawlana Faizani Sahib speak, he would say: "Mawlana Sahib's speeches bring happiness and self confidence to my life. They make me repent from the infidel way of the communists, and I do repent my wrong doings."
• As God is my witness, a person of Mawlana Faizani Sahib enormity and quality can not exist in this time.

At one occasion in the prison, I was without food; although Mawlana Faizani Sahib did not have much food for himself, he gave me whatever food he had. He was very kind, caring and compassionate. I have wonderful memories from Mawlana Sahib. I am proud of him and his son, Ustad Mazhabi Mazhabi Sahib. All Muslim scholars of Afghanistan and I are deeply proud of Mawlana Faizani Sahib. I feel honored that I can make this statement about our purest national personality.
