OUR PUREST NATIONAL PERSONALITY
by
Judge Qazi Shereen
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 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.

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." |
