Bismillah Ar
Rahman Ar Raheem
Assalaamu
alaikum wa rahmathullah wa barakatuhu
Although my
close friends on line are aware of my situation, I think it might be worthwhile
briefly explaining my current situation to my Brothers and Sisters in Islam (and others) who drop in
here to read my blogs from time to time.
Owing to the
shameful military coup in Egypt which deposed the legitimate democratically-elected
government of President Morsi last year, and the army's declaration that the
Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organisation, so as to eliminate all
opposition to the military take-over in 2012, I have been forced to leave my
home in Asyut and to seek refuge in my home country of Jordan.
How I left
Egypt and what I am doing now is not really within the scope of this blog, so I
will just say that I feel safe in Jordan and that I have managed to keep myself
busy with a charitable organisation that is doing great work for the refugees
from the civil war in Syria.
It is my
hope that, now I am settled again, I will be able to make this blog active once
more insha'Allah. With my sisters in
Islam who seek to dress according to the wishes of Allah (subhana wa ta'ala)
being persecuted for their beliefs so widely in Europe and elsewhere, there is
much to write about and much to campaign for.
So I hope that my small voice can be raised in the defence of those
sisters as I have tried to do in the past.
May I
finally thank all my friends, both brothers and sisters in Islam as well as non-believers,
whose duaa and good wishes have helped me get through the last few months. Without your prayers and support things would
have been much worse.
So may Allah
(subhana wa ta'ala) bless and protect you all and may He reward you for your
generosity and friendship. Ameen.
Aliyah
