Rally for Imam Qatanani: Today, Tomorrow & Monday (Thu, Fri & Mon)
As we posted earlier, one of our Imams, Imam Qatanani will become another victim of Israeli influence in America, if we don’t do anything.
The mere complaint is an unjust detainment by the Israelis in 1993 during a visit to his family in Palestine. Many other Palestinians like him were unjustly detained for no crime because this was a common practice by the Israelis whenever political turmoil arose in the area. Soon, he was released without any charges or any court summons.
Here are specific action items that we can all take:
- First and foremost, MAKE DUAA’! There is no success in any cause without Allah!
- Forward this message and cross-link/cross-post to this entry as much as possible.
- Sign the online petition — http://www.petitiononline.com/qat5871/petition.html
- If you have a Facebook account then join the following two groups:
- Peaceful Support for Qatanani (hundreds of members and counting)
- Friends of Qatanani (hundreds of members and counting)
AND advertise the following Facebook event:
“RALLY TO SUPPORT IMAM QATANANI”
- Attend the rallies and encourage your family and friends to attend the rallies. Rally details and an image of the flyer can be found here: http://www.americans4qatanani.org/site/content/view/39/54/
- 6. Last, and most important: MAKE DUAA’! I can’t stress this enough. Constantly and consistently pray to Allah to help us through this test, and all tests that we face every day! Duaa’ is our best resource, and it never runs out! For some duaa’ recorded in authentic narrations of the Prophet (S), you can visit — www.makedua.com

Assalam Alaikum
Although the pictures from this newspaper website do not show the true extent of the large turnout, the pictures are fairly good.

They are all from Thursday, the first day, of the court days. Friday, the second day, was said to have a larger turnout despite the heavy rain, but unfortunately, I could not find any pictures for that day. When I do, I’ll be sure to post, Insha Allah. And just to give you an idea of the crowd since I dont think any of the pictures really grasped the massive amount of people present: Organizers of the rally have estimated that about 1,000 attended just the first day. Allahu Akbar!
Hope this was a glimpse of what you were looking for. Personally, I was there at the rallies, and these pictures do not do justice to the whole experience. Words cannot describe it; this is history in the making.
Insha Allah, I’ll try to add more of my feedback about the days within the coming days.

ps..Tomorrow (Monday) will be the third court day and next Monday (May 19) will be the last day. The court decided Friday to extend the three-day trial an extra day so there’s an another chance for you to show your support for Imam Qatanani and ultimately for the whole community.
the low down on imam qatanani is that he has one more hearing on june 2nd. make du’aa.
