Another Martyr is added to the Procession of Uzbekistan’s Martyrs!

He proceeded with confidence in his words bearing the responsibility even if the price was his life!

(Translated)

﴿مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا﴾

“Among the believers are men true to what they promised Allah. Among them has fulfilled his vow [to death] and among them is he who awaits [his chance]. And they did not alter [the terms of their commitment] by any alteration.” [Al-Ahzab: 23]

The procession of Martyrs from the Shabab of Hizb ut Tahrir continues by the hands of the tyrant of Uzbekistan the Jew, the criminal Karimov, one after the other in numbers.

On the 24th of September 2013, our brother Sa’eed Kholmakhat Ishmanov was martyred and elevated to the heavens by the permission of Allah, we assume so and do not commend any one to Allah. He was from Qada’ Soor Khandra in 1969, of an age over 44 years.

The thoughts of Hizb ut Tahrir changed the life of our brother, it increased his confidence and Iman in Allah (swt) and in His Messenger Muhammad (saw) as it has strengthened his will. So he rose up, working with utmost effort, tireless and without boredom to resume the Islamic way of life by establishing the Khilafah State by the method of the Prophet (saw).

His activity made the haters of Islam and the Muslims lose their sleep. And when they could not confront him with evidences and proofs, as is the habit of cowards, they captured him and arrested him in the year 2000.

In the 13 years that he spent in the prison of the tyrant Karimov, he was subjected to torture and extreme pressure in order to reject Hizb ut Tahrir and to abandon its thoughts. The oppressors tried with wicked styles and brutal means to force him to collaborate with the security services to capture the rest of the Shabab. But to no avail; they could not weaken his determination or crush his resolve and his strong belief in Allah ‘Azza wa Jal and his resoluteness in the Islamic thoughts that he carries which the Hizb built in him, and on the contrary, he continued to carry the Dawah and call for it amidst the depths of prison among the oppressors and those who live in the darkness (of the status quo).

The executioners of the Jewish Karimov, after failing in facing his patience and steadfastness, beat him to death. On the 24th of September 2013, his family received the pure body of our brother from the prison of Novoi. Upon the orders of the Interior Ministry and Intelligence Services and the supervision of the local committee, the body of Kholmakhat was swiftly buried. The aim is to conceal any sign of torture which was clearly visible on his pure body.

This is not the first incident that a burial is carried out rapidly to conceal the crime. With this heinous crime, the sons of Kholmakhat, May Allah have mercy on him, are added to the list of the ones Karimov was the cause for them being orphaned.

We ask Allah ‘Azza wa Jal to forgive the sins of our brother and to reward him abundantly in his next life. And to resurrect him with the Truthful, Martyrs, and the Righteous for they are the best of companions. We ask Him (swt) to grant his family patience and solace. We pray to Him Subhanahu to speed up the establishment of the second Khilafah ar-Rashida State, so that we give bay’ah to its coming Khaleefah, sooner than later.

﴿وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتٌ بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ وَلَكِنْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ﴾

“And do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allah,”They are dead,” Rather, they are alive, but you perceive [it] not.” [Al-Baqara: 154]
