#FreeNaveedButt

Truly Deprived, Pakistan’s Merciless Rulers Maintain Naveed Butt’s Seven Years of Abduction in Ramadhan

This Ramadhan, it is seven years since Naveed Butt, the Official Spokesman of Hizb ut Tahrir in the Wilayah of Pakistan, was abducted on 11 May 2012, by security officials, in front of his children and neighbors. And yet again, this Ramadhan, Pakistan’s rulers prevent Naveed from breaking fast with his family

These rulers gave tea and early release to the captured, attacking pilot of the Hindu State, Abhinandan Varthaman. They allowed the family of Kalbhoshan yadav to meet him. Is mercy, clemency and compassion only for the enemy of Muslims and not for the one who calls to Islam?!

Is this not a huge contradiction that whilst claiming loyalty to the Madinah State, the current regime keeps Naveed in abduction until today, even though he worked tirelessly for the resumption of Islam as a way of life?

O Muslims of Pakistan and their Intelligence Officials in Particular!

Is it not enough of prolonged, sinful oppression for us to at least speak in the favor of Naveed’s release, if not to secure his actual release?! And is it not upon Pakistan’s rulers to immediately release Naveed Butt to avert the wrath of Allah (swt) upon them?!

Allah (swt) warned,

﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُحَادُّونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ أُوْلَئِكَ فِي الأَذَلِّينَ﴾

“Indeed, the ones who oppose Allah and His Messenger – those will be among the most humbled.” [Surah Al-Mujadilah 58:20]

We call upon all Muslims, especially those of power and influence, seek the mercy of Allah (swt) through a sincere and concerted effort to grant the honorable Naveed much deserved relief, after seven hard years. RasulAllah (saaw) said,

«مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ اَلدُّنْيَا, نَفَّسَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ اَلْقِيَامَةِ »

“If anyone relieves a Muslim believer from one of the hardships of this worldly life, Allah will relieve him of one of the hardships of the Day of Resurrection” [Muslim].
