Campaigns
Narrated by Abu Talha Al-Ansari and Jabir Bin Abdullah, the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, No man forsakes a Muslim when his rights are being violated or his honour is being belittled except that Allah will forsake him at a place in which he would love to have His help. And no man helps a Muslim at a time when his honour is being belittled or his rights violated except that Allah will help him at a place in which he loves to have His help. (Abu Dawud)
Adopt A Prisoner Program
As you can see the instructions on the flyer, this project is quiet simple as it doesn’t involve much work but will achieve a lot of benefit for our imprisoned brethren and ourselves, insha’Allaah. The aim of our ”Adopt a prisoner” campaign is to get the global community involved, so that these prisoners can receive letters not just from those that write regularly but from others around the world. Some of the Prisoners you’ll be writing to, have probably never received a letter since their imprisonment, so imagine how much it will mean to them when they receive their first letter. They will know that their brethren have not abandoned them in their time of need and Allaah will reward you for this beautiful deed, insha’Allaah.

[ACTION] Betim Kaziu
He's described by his family as being an amazing person with a wonderful soul. He is a caring individual who always put others first. Betim loved all kinds of sports and played football in high school. He also liked video games. Betim is another young man who's been arrested without any direct evidence. To date he has been held for 5 months without any bail and without any evidence. He is currently being incarcerated at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York. If convicted, Betim could face 'life in prison' and all because of some ludicrous allegations. It is absolutely crucial for us to support Betim and fight for his rights if we want him to be released at all. We hope and pray that justice will prevail for Betim and that his innocence will be proven. Betim deserves a fair trial as every citizen of the United States does. As the government says, “The charges in the indictment are merely allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.” We ask everyone to bear this in mind and for the system to stay true to their word and consider Betim innocent as we truly believe he is!

[ACTION] Shaker Aamer
Shaker Aamer is the last London resident being held in Guantánamo Bay. He is a long term British resident, a 42 year old Saudi national, with a British family, including a 7 year old son he has never met. Shortly after the US-led invasion of Afghanistan it is believed Shaker, like hundreds of others, was sold by tribal warlords and during detention suffered vicious torture in the dark Prison in Kabul. He eventually ended up in Guantanamo where much of his time has been spent in solitary confinement. According to David Rose (author and human rights investigative journalist ‘Guantanamo: America’s War on Human Rights’) so many innocent people “ended up there as a result of military-intelligence screening procedures in Afghanistan and elswhere that were flawed and inadequate, made still worse by the use of woefully poor and virtually untrained translators”.
Shaker Aamer’s story is a terrible human tragedy. Shaker has a seven year old son he has never met and his oldest child remembers him only from photographs. A family has been ripped apart for no legal or apparent reason and eight years on it is way past time for justice to be done – Shaker needs to be returned home to London.

[ACTION] Ziyad Yaghi
Ziyad Yaghi is a 21 year old American citizen, from Jordan originally, residing in North Carolina whom has lived in the United States since the age of two. He has been accused of attempting to commit terrorism abroad by the United States government, in an indictment which appears to be based on an incorrect premise, namely that the US seek to infer that trips abroad were part of a terrorist conspiracy.
Ziyad visited Jordan in 2006, the country of his birth. Unfortunately the US Indictment appears to have misinterpreted this intention, and states instead that he was seeking armed conflict.
In 2007, the indictment alleges that he with others tried to engage in armed conflict in Israel, whereas both Ziyad and his friend Omar instead sought to visit the west bank and Masjid al-aqsa, one of Islam’s most
famous and revered sites and one which holds particular appeal for Ziyad as he is from Palestinian heritage.
The United States again seek to set a dangerous precedent in that if a Muslim wishes to visit the land of his ancestry, then this is viewed as suspect.
