Allaahu Akbar….the shaykh’s interview was so beautiful. I mean, I was worried that perhaps he would not be in the same mental state as he was before the imprisonment, but mashaAllaah he’s talking “normally”. He’s already talking about lectures! May Allaah grant him good in this dunya & in the akhira & allow us to always benefit from him. Ameen.
 Assalam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah

I read the transcript, it was beautiful! And alhamdulillah, he seems like he has good bearings of himself and the world around him- alot of people lose it in prisons, especially solitary confinement (WITHOUT ANY CHARGES!)
