Comment:

The special services of Tatarstan, on the orders of their master from the Kremlin, continue to persecute the Muslims of the Volga region. In particular, this time four chaste Muslim women in Kazan were arrested. Three sisters are married, have many children, and one of them has a husband who is in prison for 17 years on similar charges.

The godless regime mercilessly persecutes Muslims who call for Islam, imprisoning them from 10 to 20 years, and more. For example, in May this year, brother Rais Mavlyutov, sentenced in 2019 to 23 years in prison, was added another term for not abandoning his beliefs and calling for Islam in prison. In general, Rais Mavlyutov, he has already served 5 years, was given a new term, 27 years in prison.

The wives of the convicted Muslims in Russia are under severe pressure from tyrants. They are not allowed to work to pay for rental housing and buy food. People who want to help them financially also face punishment under the Article 205.1...for facilitating terrorist activities.... Social services threaten to take away their children and much more. This is the harsh reality of Russian Muslim women carrying the Islamic call to revive the Islamic way of life.

And despite all these threats and oppressions from the godless regime, weak in body but strong in spirit, fearless chaste women dawah carriers continue their work to revive the Islamic way of life according to the method of Prophethood.

Russia has long been known for its hostility to Islam and Muslims, especially its political manifestation. Both Russia and the West have lost the ideological battle against Islam and fear its spread in their countries. This desperate move by the tyrants, the arrest of Muslim women, shows how insignificant this regime is and shakes with fear of even weak and defenceless women.

O Muslims! These disbelievers are trying to destroy our Ummah by inducing us to betray our values. We must respond as our Creator demands. The example of such sisters who remained faithful to their Lord despite all odds should inspire us. It is our duty to continue the call to revive the Islamic way of life, regardless of the actions of the disbelieving colonisers and their servants. For Allah Almighty has said in His Noble Book:

[يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُطْفِؤُواْ نُورَ اللّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَى اللّهُ إِلاَّ أَن يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ]

“They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah refuses except to perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it” [9:32].
