I am a free Muslim

Exclaim with a firm heart and a voice of glory saying: I am a free Muslim.

My freedom is in my dear Islam. There is no value for freedom without Islam and there no dignity for a human being without faith.

A wise and free Muslim realizes that there are many honorable people who were deprived of freedom, moreover he may remain in jail for several years, but he is great in the sight of Allah and in the sight of the reasonable believers.

Islam is the true religion and system which was revealed by the Ever-Magnificent Creator: "Truly, the religion with Allâh is Islâm." [Surat Al `Imran: 19].

Therefore, a Muslim is characterized by good and high personality emerging from the system which he follows. The constitution by which a person abides is the Glorious Qur'an: "Verily, this Qur'ân guides to that which is most just and right." [Surat Al Isra': 9], and following the beautiful biography and the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him).

Al `Irbad ibn Sariyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: One day the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) gave us an earnest exhortation that caused our eyes to flow with tears and our hearts to tremble. We said: O Messenger Allah, It is like a farewell exhortation, so what do you advise us with. He said: ''I leave you on the clear straight way, it is quite obvious and crystal-clear, and no one deviates from but shall be destroyed. Whoever lives (for a long time) shall see a great difference, so adhere to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs. Hold fast to it and bite onto it with your molars (i.e. cling firmly to it). 'I advise you to obey (your rulers), even if it is an Ethiopian slave A believer is like an obedient camel wherever it was driven, it goes." [Reported by Ibn Majah, and Al Albany graded it as authentic].

When a Muslim follows the Qur'an and the Sunnah, he goes in his life with insight, consciousness, and guidance, and worship his Lord by knowledge, Fiqh, and wisdom, knowing the matters of his religion, knowing the reality of his nation and time, aware of the history of his nation, and pondering over the laws of Allah in creation and in the universe. So, he does not rush victory and is not bored with the long road.

He is a free and honest Muslim, working according to his knowledge, be proud of his religion and his creed, he is a live image for what he calls to, a role model for others, affect the people around him, and knowing the conditions of whom he calls. Accordingly, he observes patience for their harm, calls them with wisdom and good advice, and does not argue except in a way that is best.

The spiritual energy of a free Muslim is high, his determination is high, he is of strong faith, benevolent, and he is a mixture from seriousness, solidness, and loyalty. When he sits alone, he will be in submission, humbleness, reverence, and clearance, and he is keen to establish the religion and the arbitrage of the Shari`ah.

As for his morals, they contain every noble description and good manners: "And Verily, you (O Muhammad peace be upon him) are on an exalted (standard of) character." [Surat Al Qalam: 4].

He is disciplined by the proprieties of the Qur'an, responds to the calls of faith, and abides by prohibitions. `A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) was asked about the manners of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and she said: "His manners were an embodiment of the Qur'an." [Reported by Muslim].

A free Muslim should intend to do actions for the sake of Allah, seeking His Pleasure, and seeking the reward only from Allah for his actions. There is no room for mottos or symbols, then paying more attention to the soundness of creed, good work, and perfecting actions in all conditions as far as possible.

He should be a hard worker, relying on Allah, and sure of the victory and support of Allah, so no weakness leaks to himself and his heart, no weakness covers his pride and firmness, and he should not be sad for what happened or what befell on him. A Muslim realizes that the glory, victory, happiness, and success of the nation cannot be achieved except by the solidarity among its individuals in worldly and religious affairs, then a Muslim should fear Allah in all his actions, remove the hatred from his chest toward his Muslim brother, then inhabiting the earth and delivering goodness to others honestly and truthfully.

It is freedom under the ceiling of servitude and in the light of what Allah wants and not as people want.

It is the ruling of Allah which controls human beings, these are His Limits which prevent chaos and disorder, and that is the balance of Allah on earth by which all things are weighed.

They are these godly rulings which Allah fixed for His Servants to act accordingly and not to transgress them. Moreover, they are the rulings which Allah legislated for the people in His Book; the true constitution that was laid for all legislations and codes because it was sent down by Allah, the All Knowing, the All Wise: "These are the limits (set by) Allâh (or ordainments as regards laws of inheritance), and whosoever obeys Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad peace be upon him) will be admitted to Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise), to abide therein, and that will be the great success." [Surat An-Nisa': 13].

Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger in things which He legislated for His Servants of these rulings and others shall enter a paradise of abundant trees and palaces underneath there are rivers flow with fresh water. They will reside in that bliss forever and shall not go out from, and that reward is the great success which they shall receive.

That success is preceded by success in the worldly life, where they enjoy a good and honorable life which its aroma is freedom and dignity that is granted by Allah (Glory be to Him).

Otherwise, afflictions and seditions will be repeated from every aspect and direction, in the light of regimes glorify systems and constitutions then erase pleasure and light from the faces of its people.

A wise and free Muslim shall not be stung repeatedly because his permanent awareness makes him always remember facts and learn the lessons taken throughout history. A Muslim has figured things out and it is time to say: (That is enough).

O my nation, it is enough to sleep that long. To what extent our souls pant behind the desires of our bodies and against the comfort of our souls.

We all know that the comfort of our souls cannot be achieved except by the life of our hearts in the light of our response to the calls of our Lord, the Most Merciful (may He be Glorified and Exalted) and the call of our honorable Prophet (peace be upon him) to every good in this world and in the Hereafter: "O you who believe! Answer Allâh (by obeying Him) and (His) Messenger when he (peace be upon him) calls you to that which will give you life, and know that Allâh comes in between a person and his heart (i.e. He prevents an evil person to decide anything). And verily, to Him you shall (all) be gathered." [Surat Al Anfal: 24].

O you who believe in Allah as their Lord and in Prophet Muhammad as their messenger, respond to Allah and His Messenger when they call to that which will give life to your hearts because responding to them will reform your lives in this world and in the Hereafter.

O believers, know that Allah (Glory be to Him) is the only Manager of all things and the Able to prevent man from things that he likes because Allah (Glory be to Him) is the one should be responded to His Call when He calls upon you because in His Hand is the kingdom of everything. Let it be known that you shall be gathered for a great day and then Allah shall reckon every person according to what he deserves. "And fear the Fitnah (affliction and trial) which affects not in particular (only) those of you who do wrong (but it may afflict all the good and the bad people), and know that Allâh is Severe in punishment." [Surat Al Anfal: 25].

O believers, beware of a trial and a test which a good and a bad person shall pass; not only disobedient people shall suffer but it will befall the pious and righteous as well if they were able to stop these evils and did not do anything to stop them. Let it be known that Allah is severe in punishment for those who disobey His Commands and Prohibitions.

How beautiful freedom is when it emerges from our dear and valued fundamentals and our great heritage.

I am one of the soldiers of Muhammad.

and without the guidance of Muhammad I shall not utter.

I am a Muslim by creed and method.

and I shall adhere to that as long as I life.

Dear brother, exclaim: I am a free Muslim but I submit myself to my Lord and my religion. I love every Muslim everywhere because all Muslims are my family and brethren.

When I meet my beloved ones anywhere, I perform ablution, apply perfume, get out seeking forgiveness and advising, and raise my hand greeting.

I am a free Muslim and my tongue pants with Dhikr. I invoke Allah while I am sure, seeking His forgiveness and invoking Him to grant victory for Muslims all over the world.
