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 RELIGIOUS UPRISING OF 1970

by
Mawlana Watheeq


During the religious uprising of 1970, most religious scholars demonstrated in downtown Kabul, then they all gathered in Kabul's central, Pulikhishtee Mosque. Mawlana Faizani played a significant role in these demonstrations. During the time when nobody in Afghanistan knew much about Communism's philosophy, Mawlana was writing books on it far more advanced than books written even in this decade. At that time, when nobody had experienced Communism's darkness, it seemed to people to have a bright future, Mawlana had fully perceived its way and philosophy, and the dark future associated with it which the nation is facing today. He had written and prepared this in the form of epistles, and submitted them to the heedless Afghanistan government and to the people.

Mawlana Faizani was not only a religious scholar, but he possessed such a vast and versatile knowledge in most dimensions that, if you, for example, posed a historical question to him, about a certain nation, such as 'Who are the Arabs?' he would explain it to you from Adam to this instant in detail, even about their past kings, governments and regimes. If you posed a geographical question to him, such as "Where's Japan?" or any other country on the face of the earth, he would explain it to you in such detail as if he had built it himself. But, if you asked him about Islam's history, then you would have to listen to him for forty-eight days, and he would go on and on explaining.

In 1973, cruel President Daoud and the Communists falsely accused him of plotting a coup d'etat and this ended in life imprisonment for him and his chaste-hearted followers.

The continuation of his work and teachings since then, has always been strongly backed up in his established schools all over Afghanistan and in other countries by his students, and led by his honorable son, Ustad Mazhabi.



 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.
 

 Imprisonment Highlights 
Mawlana Faizani - Click to Learn More..."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."
