Ahmed's Statement After Resentencing

"All Praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Universe, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgment.
I thank Allah for His countless bounties, His never ending grace, and peace be upon all His messengers and prophets, especially Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus the Son of Mary, and the last and final prophet and messenger, the descendant of Ismail the son of Abraham, Muhammad.

I want to acknowledge and thank my family, some of whom are here, my parents, for their steadfast faith, their beautiful faith and sacrifice, and my brothers and sisters, all of them, I hope I can be with them soon and make up for the lost time. Also, I thank my friends who contributed to my defense, for their prayers and sacrifice, and [also] those I don't know, and Allah knows them.
To proceed, I'm not ungrateful to this court for the relative civility it has shown me, and I also have been civil with this court. But, I cannot pretend this is justice. The facts of this case were clear. This case was manufactured by the Saudi torture machine, the Mubahith, and exported to the United States.

There is no doubt that I was tortured. This case was prosecuted by a rouge Department of Justice, headed by the same people who crafted laws [allowing torture]. Had this case been a drug case or a murder case, it would have been forgotten. But if you introduce the word 'terrorism' in it, America has a second standard.

I'm being held in solitary confinement. Even nazi [war criminals] did not face [the prison conditions I have been facing]. If the government wants to dehumanize me, they should have sent me to a zoo. But we are not animals, we are distinguished by our intellect, our emotions, our manners, our empathy.

I think you have heard of this book rejection, harmless books, this is the type of tyranny I have to face everyday. To give you one example, the book by Jimmy Carter Peace Not Apartheid was denied [to me] because it contains "jihadist rhetoric". They don't let me communicate with my grandmother because the government thinks they are saving lives by me not being able to say hello, how are you, I'm praying for you, how are my uncles …

Even letters to my family take months to get there. If I send them a letter now wishing them [a blessed] Ramadhan which starts in about one month, they will get it at the start of the pilgrimage.

They deny me the right to worship in congregation. We [Muslim prisoners] have protested. Even though we are behind bars, we are being prevented from praying in congregation. This reminds me of the story of Moses, when he told the Pharoah to let the children of Israel go, the Pharoah in his arrogance said I don't know who your Lord is. The government won't let the children of Ismail worship together behind bars … despite the protests, the hunger strikes going on every year. Another hunger strike began in April. The [Bureau of Prisons] would rather spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to force feed prisoners instead of giving them their basic rights. I don't know where they get the money for this especially during this difficult financial crisis.

They say I am a criminal. I say may God's curse and wrath be upon the criminals among us.
Judge Lee, I remind you, you too will appear before the Divine tribunal with me. On that day, there will be no lawyers, no sophistry … nothing will be hidden. He knows the whisperings in the chests. If you [Judge Lee] are comfortable with that, you can decree upon me whatever you will decree.
[After the sentence, Ahmed was led out by the Marshal. He turned to the audience and said Nasr Qareeb (ie. The help of Allah is close) and then said Don't be sad. "
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Surah Isra 17 verse 80 Say: "O my Lord! let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me)." 
Ameen.

Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 2482 Narrated by AbuHurayrah  (May Allah be pleased with him)
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) used to say, " O Allah, grant me benefit in what Thou hast taught me, teach me what will benefit me, and increase my knowledge. Praise be to Allah in all circumstances. I seek refuge in Allah from the state of those who go to Hell."
Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying this is a tradition whose isnad is gharib.
 
Transliteration:an Abi Hurairah (radiya Allahu anhu) qaal:
qaala Rasul Allah (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam): "Allahumma infa'ni bima 'allamtani, wa allimni maa yanfa'oni wa zidni 'ilman, alhamdulillahi alaa kolli haal, wa a'odtho billahi min haali ahlil naar."
