Former residents of Xinjiang said movement restrictions are enforced in a discriminatory manner. Interviewees said the police stopped only ethnic minorities on the street and checked their ID. #FreeUyghurs #FreeTheAseer Witnesses, including one who worked at a government checkpoint, reported that Han Chinese either did not need to go through the checkpoints at all or were essentially waved through without having their bodies or phones searched and without being questioned.

Muslims living in Xinjiang may be the most closely surveilled population in the world. The government of China has devoted tremendous resources to gathering incredibly detailed information about this group’s lives. #FreeUyghurs #FreeTheAseer This systemized mass surveillance is achieved through a combination of policies and practices that infringe on people’s rights to privacy and freedom of movement and expression.

A former Uyghur detainee, Madi, told Amnesty he witnessed the torture of a cellmate who he later learned died from the effects of the torture. Madi said the man was made to sit in a tiger chair in the middle of their cell. #FreeTheUyghurs #FreeTheAseer The cellmates were made to watch him sit there, restrained and immobilized, for 3 days, and were expressly forbidden to help him.

"[The man] was in our room for more than two months…he was made to sit in a tiger chair. [I think the man was being punished for pushing a guard.]

Mansur, a Uyghur farmer, described to Amnesty how he was tortured multiple times in two camps during his time in detention – both during an interrogation and during multiple punishment sessions. #FreeUyghurs #FreeTheAseer

He described his interrogation session: "Two guards took me from the cell and dropped me off [at the room where I was interrogated]. Two men were inside… [They asked what I did in Kazakhstan,] ‘Did you pray there? What do your parents do?’

Communists always cry about religion controlling people, but remain silent on what the Chinese Communist Party has been doing to the Uyghurs. #FreeUyghurs #FreeTheAseer

Uyghur detainees are required to look straight ahead and not to speak with their classmates in these camps. Classes often involve memorizing and reciting “red” songs – that is, revolutionary songs that praise the CCP and the People’s Republic of China.

Teaching Chinese is a primary objective of the “education” that detainees received in the camps.

Many Uyghurs said the reasons they were given for their detention were not tied to specific acts; rather, they were informed that they were detained because they were classified as “suspicious” or “untrustworthy” or as a “terrorist” or an “extremist”. #FreeUyghurs #FreeTheAseer. When specific acts were mentioned, they generally fell into a few broad categories.

One category includes offences related to foreign countries. Numerous former detainees were sent to camps for living, travelling, or studying abroad or for communicating with people abroad.

Abuduwaili Abudureheman has not been heard from since he sent a text message to a friend on 10 May. In the message, Abudureheman said he was being interrogated by Chinese police after arriving at Hong Kong airport. #FreeUyghurs #UyghurGenocide #FreeTheAseer “The unknown fate of Abuduwaili Abudureheman is deeply worrying, given the background of crimes against humanity committed against Uyghurs by the Chinese government in Xinjiang,” says Alkan Akad, Amnesty International’s China Researcher.

In his commentary on the verse “Let not the believers take the disbelievers as Auliya instead of the believers, and whoever does that will never be helped by Allah in any way” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:28], At-Tabari (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

Do not, O believers, take the disbelievers as a source of help and support or ally yourself with them in support of their religion, supporting them against the Muslims instead of the believers, and telling them about the Muslims’ weak points,

Ya jahil, that's in matters that are unclear due to possible misinterpretation that scholars would clarify, such as misinterpretation on a verse of attributes of Allah and etc. Not in matters of usool that pertains wala wal bara, nor clear matters from the deen.

If one says alcohol is halal, you don't beg him to understand that it's haram since the verse is clear. If someone claiming to be Muslim says Krishna is god, you don't explain him why he's wrong since this is from usool. Change your name from "Brother Dawah" to "Brother Drama".

People need to seriously start differentiating between Legislating other than what Allah revealed vs Judging on a matter. Legislating a sharia other than what Allah revealed in a country is major kufr, and no scholar denies this. Judging on a matter is different. Check the thread https://t.co/8TgQ59Pwr3

Our Shaykh Ali Al Khudayr explaining the difference. May Allah free him.

[Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه Was The First Intellectual In The History Of Islam: A Thread🧵]

Many people know Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه as a beloved companion, the first khalifa, and as someone who was known for his generosity. But many don't realize, he was indeed the first scholar. There were 3 instances when Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه saved the ummah from apostasy, by the permission of Allah, and laid down usool for the ummah to use against heretics. If this wasn't done by him رضي الله عنه, then the ummah would have lost golden ways to refute these heretics.
