Article adopted from the Balagh newspaper (1997)
in reference to 24th imprisonment anniversary of the great Afghan Muslim scholar Mawlana Faizani
The Balagh -- a Publication of Maktab-e Towheed-e Afghanistan
THE PEOPLE ARE TRULY PROUD OF HIM
by
Dr. Prof. Saeedullah Ibrahim
Dear brothers, Afghanistan has been ruined from every point of view; social, material, economic, as well as seeing a loss in spirituality and its spiritual scholars and personalities. Fortunately, the University of Insight into God (Madrassa -e- Towheed), founded by Mawlana Faizani Sahib which is now under the supervision of Ustad Mazhabi Sahib has been working for the straight path against all oppressions and cruelty. Ustad Mazhabi mission should be an example for all of us. If one has been a prisoner, he will clearly know what imprisonment is all about; it is not only the prisoner that suffers tremendously, but those who know him, such as family and friends all end up suffering.
Mawlana Faizani's struggle for the truth, his writings and research is a great lesson for all of us. Today, we remember Mawlana Faizani, who spent and devoted his entire life for the well being of his people. History remembers the cruel oppressors with abhorrence, however those who sincerely struggled for the truth without ulterior motives are/will be remembered with love, appreciation and become the symbols of light and guidance for the rest of us. Mawlana Faizani is one such personality of whom the people are truly proud! He left for us not only great books and enlightening literatures, but also he left us his son, Ustad Mazhabi; under his leadership the continuation of Mawlana Faizani works and teachings are spreading all over the world. I hope that all scholars and intellectuals unite and follow the foot steps of Mawlana Faizani in their pursuit of peace and unity of our people. For hope, remembrance, and blessing to the spirit of Mawlana Faizani.
| A PRAYER ›› by Mawlana Faizani!

O' Bestower, Sovereign and Holy!
O' Great, Merciful and Generous God,
That the hearts of people are between
The two fingers of Your Being;
Turn all these hearts
(of us, companions, supporters, friends, all Muslims and all children of Man of our time)
as far as You will, towards Yourself,
for practicing Your commands, leaving the forbidden, and knowing Your Unique Being,
for the sake of Your names piled up Hidden,
Great, Exalted and Greatest of Great.
We are defeated, give us victory
For the sake of Your Honor and Glory;
O' The Most Pure and Holy;
Hurry for its acceptance, O' The Fulfiller of all Needs.

 "Being arrested and imprisoned seven times, pounding 18 thousand sticks,
receiving successively electronic shocks for 45 days, plucking his beard and martyring
his teeth are the known examples of the tortures given to Mawlana Faizani by the
cruel authority of the dark monarchy era (1953-1973).
Moreover, all the things he went through added more to his commitment. The expressions
on his face seen on the photographs taken in front of the prison bars were clear indications
that Mawlana Faizani was determined to continue, as he said: "The powerful of freedom
looters can only imprison my body; but my soul, my brain,
my pen as well as my conscious is free and independent.
I will continue my campaign through my pen and brain."
Hence interpretation of his higher thoughts and deep emotion
resulted in 52 valuable books on different matters." |
