What an amazing brother. Love him. May Allah free him from this unjust imprisonment, forgive him his mistakes and grant him his Paradise. Whoever uploaded this thanks a lot.

He made no mistake, wtf are you talking about

[@orderofgrandpuba]

@@logicalmalethink4925 what he’s talking about is an Islamic saying or figure of speech that we use for our brethren. He was not insinuating the brother is guilty, but highlighting EVERY humans shortcomings (mistakes) & how we ask Allah to rectify our affairs.

In life, truth is like a reliable compass, showing us the right way through the confusing world of power games. It helps us see through the tricks and hidden motives that people sometimes use. While lies can be tempting, truth is the wise choice because it gives us the evidence we need to make sound decisions and hold our peers responsible. As humans, it's important for us to look beyond social biases and find the simple truths that can make our world system fairer and more transparent

Clear why in a control unit. Open mightier then the sword. Then the voice is the greatest influence. Now a person with clarity, knowledge, confidence, and popularity!

[@jneroo226]

This brother and Malcolm X should be a lesson to us all. You can't walk back everything you say simply because you have had some kind of spiritual awakening. The State could care less about that. If you have been labeled as a threat to National Security; nothing you say or do can ever change that. You are just better off keeping your mouth shut if you don't really mean it.

I love this theme song...I hope to find an instrumental of it somewhere. If anyone finds it, let me know

Where he is supposed to be

[@capoislamort100]

Locked up in a supermax penitentiary, unfairly being punished for his past activism.

[@jamaaaatulasr]

He is currently at the US Penitentiary in Tucson. Keep an eye out for the quarterly updtes published by the Imam Jamil Action Network, one of the organisations, along with ours, in direct allegience with the Imam that advocates for his freedom and that of all political prisoners. A quarterly update should be coming out soon, but until then you can view the most recent; that being the September-November update. These updates can be accessed from the IJAN's official website: imamjamilactionnetwork.org Here is a direct link to the PDF and if you have any questions do not hesistate to reach out: www.imamjamilactionnetwork.org/sites/default/files/2022-11/IJAN_Quarterly_Update-September-November-2022.pdf

​@Jamaa'aatul Asr Thanx bro I appreciate this information ✊🏿

[@MohammadMonirHossain-uo2mm]

Amazing! How the Imam could learn so fast. Allahu Akbar ( Allah is the greatest ).

I feel very very confident that IF HE had came under OUR MESSENGER the one sent to him in his language he would not be in state control today. Why didn't "Orthodox Islam advocate for THIS BLACK AMERICAN FREEDOM FIGHTING MUSLIM?? Farrakhan would have taught him how to not destroy himself with his own words. This is sad. One of our strongest Black power warriors don't even know what Black is anymore

[@SeanABlackmon]

I understand your frustration with his answer but there's nothing about the NOI that would've magically stopped the Imam from being a political prisoner. You may remember Elijah Muhammad himself was a political prisoner for a time because of his anti-war stance.

[@b1mshmathematicssciencehis633]

@@SeanABlackmon with all due respect you speak from ignorance. He WOULDN'T BE IN JAIL today IF HE WAS A NOI MINISTER. The orthodox Muslims are not equipped to protect their members from long term imprisonment for the type of talk he was doing.

[@b1mshmathematicssciencehis633]

@@SeanABlackmon orthodox muslims don't have the mentality to protect someone like this brother

[@Fareedshia100]

This man never lost who, he was there wouldn't be a any Black Nationalist or Blackpanthers if was not for The Hon Elijah Muhammad. Most of the original Panthers attended the N.O.I. back then.
