Alhamdulillah for absolutely everything. Sometimes I sit with my coffee and I think about how grateful I am that I can hear Muhammeds voice and that all of his thoughts are expressed to me in intimacy. That I know hes wrongly imprisoned but at least we have the hope of being reunited, and the thought of that sweetness keeps you going, however long that takes and come what may, this life is crazy and were young. Only Allah swt knows whats next. I think about all the people who have lost their husband, or their daughter, or their father in the hands of a NIA agent torturing them, 4 inch nails hammered into their skull or set ablaze, or dumped down a well, or shot, or never even knowing what happened. What pain they must feel at the injustice. How they must struggle to ever know their loved one spent 1 minute in their detainment. How they must really be looking at their fellow Gambians with eyes wide open in disappointment that Gambians are so fearful to remove Jammeh themselves and wondering who will stop this and when. Its like a highly violent man putting his wife (Gambian nation) into such a quiet state that the fear has overtaken them and are at the point of even defending him through forced GRTS statements. Like Amnesty says about Gambia, Fear Rules. I may be sad that I cant be next to Muhammed, but my pride in what Muhammed is fighting for outweighs my own needs, and I know he is only getting started. I may wonder where his people are for him, even in Canada, but they are wondering where their saviour is from Jammeh. If Muhammed was face to face with Jammeh, that would be his strongest moment in this dunya I believe. Some Canadians lets say, wonder how Muhammed could be so blunt to write an article about CBSA, but little do they understand there is a bigger, more evil beast who has dictated atrocities far beyond your imagination in and on his home soil. Only when your love for people outweigh your own needs, do you become calm and steady. We know the hardest roads lead to the most beautiful of views. I know this man very deeply. A wife who pays attention would. His knowledge of his home, his history, his compassion, his understanding, his innovation, his dream to see Gambians thriving, subhanAllah. You will never find a perfect person, but I believe the most just man you could find is Muhammed. If hes truly bothered by something, I would bet my life on its validity. Would a wife not know? Like Muhammed just told me now if these people took any time to look into who I am, or where Im from, they would know I am the last person that should be locked away in a maximum security prison. Once I found a saying, and I put it in Muhammeds pocket...a man is not where he lives, but where he loves, now try and stop a man from loving by imprisoning, you will never succeed. ~Sarah Sillah~
