We express our heart felt condolences to the people of Bangladesh for the loss of an inspirational leader, and at the same time our joy that Allah the Almighty has blessed him with a beautiful end; to be slain as a martyr (if Allah wills) at the hands of the enemies of Islam for his defence of Islam and Muslims in Bangladesh. The Muslim Ummah and the world at large are inspired by this man’s final statement to his family from the gallows, a statement that will echo throughout the history of Bangladesh;

 I have been your guardian. If this government kills me unjustly, then that will be a death of martyrdom. After my martyrdom, Allah the Almighty will be your guardian. He is the best of guardians. So you have no reason to worry.

I am totally innocent. They are killing me only because of my involvement with the Islamic movement. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a death of martyrdom. Whoever is blessed with martyrdom by Allah is indeed a fortunate person. If I receive the martyrdom then that will be the greatest achievement of my life. Every single drop of my blood will speed up the advance of the Islamic movement and will cause the destruction of the oppressor. I am not worried about myself. I am concerned about the future of the country and the Islamic movement. To the best of my knowledge, I have never done anything wrong. I have dedicated my whole life to the Islamic movement for the salvation my people of Bangladesh. I have never bowed down to injustice, and will never do so in the future. It is out of question to seek forgiveness/clemency to any worldly person. Allah is the owner of the life. Only Allah will decide how I would die. My death will not happen according to the decision of any other person. The time and the manner of my death will happen only according the decision of Allah. So, I will accept the decision from Allah happily.

You must observe patience. Only through patience and tolerance you will achieve the victory promised by Allah. Not this world, but the hereafter is my goal. I request to the countrymen for prayers for the acceptance of my martyrdom by Allah. I give the countrymen my Salam.”

Indeed his execution was scheduled for two days ago, but the authorities were delayed in carrying out their evil plot, and Allah decreed that He take the soul of this servant of his on the eve of Jumu’ah, one of the most blessed times of the week.

It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Amr said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

There is no Muslim who during the day of Friday or the night of Friday but Allah will protect him from the trial of the grave. [Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1074]

We ask Allah to accept this man from among the shuhadaa and use his martyrdom as a catalyst to speed up the rate of revival of Justice and Peace in Bangladesh, which he fought and died for.

We remember the quote of Sayyid Qutb rahimahullah,

Shaheed is the person who bears witness that Allah’s law is more precious to him than his own life.

Shaykh Dr. Haitham al-Haddad is a jurist who seeks to contextualise classical Islamic knowledge for the modern era. He is a firm believer that Islam is uniquely qualified — more than any other system — to build a divine civilisation capable of helping humanity to enjoy a better life in all spheres by maintaining the correct balance between the rights of the Creator and the rights of the creation. He believes Islam is the only viable alternative to the failing unjust and oppressive contemporary world systems, as Allah says: "You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind: you enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and believe in Allah." (al-Qur'ān, 3:110) According to this verse, Shaykh Haitham identifies the pillars of Islamic reform as īmān (faith), unity of the Ummah, impactful action, and knowledge. Drawing from his expertise in Islamic principles — Usūl al-Fiqh, Maqāsid al-Sharī‘ah, ‘Aqīdah, and other Islamic sciences — he promotes these foundational pillars to guide the Ummah’s revival. He is known for developing advanced theories that explore the role of Islamic jurisprudence in obtaining solutions for the contemporary challenges facing humanity, and he critically re-evaluates how Islamic legal rulings (fatāwa) can be formulated in light of modern sociopolitical realities. Shaykh Dr. Haitham al-Haddad earned his PhD from SOAS, University of London, with a doctoral thesis on Islamic jurisprudence concerning Muslim minorities. He also holds a bachelor’s degree in Sharī‘ah and Law from the University of Omdurman, Sudan, and a degree in engineering from the renowned King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) in Saudi Arabia. He has undertaken intensive studies in management, becoming a certified ISO 9000 auditor. In addition, he has studied various Islamic sciences under leading scholars of the Muslim world, including the former Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Aziz ibn Baz, among many others. He has obtained many classical ijāzāt in various Islamic sciences, including Qur'ān and Hadīth. Shaykh Haitham has served as an Islamic judge for several UK-based arbitration and legal bodies for over 20 years; he is a judge at Islamic Council. He has delivered hundreds of courses on topics such as Fiqh, ‘Aqīdah, Usūl al-Fiqh, Maqāsid al-Sharī‘ah, Tafsīr, Sīrah, Islamic Thought, Islamic Leadership and Management, Da'wah, Reform, and Political Engagement. Shaykh Haitham has also submitted many academic papers in many universities around the world. He is frequently consulted by numerous Islamic organisations across Europe and beyond, and serves as a senior scholar at Islam21c. Shaykh Haitham has lectured in various universities around the Muslim world, provided counsel to Islamic institutions, authored several books and textbooks for different institutions, and travelled extensively to advocate for the reform and unity of the Ummah.

      If he did it, you will see the results of what Allah does to him.

      And if he didn’t, he is another victim, like they were victims of Pakistani rapists and murderers.

      To Bangladeshi

      How do you know this man killed hundreds of innocent people? Were you there to witness?
      Please don’t sing along with the corrupt awami government who have blood on their hands for murdering so many muslims since this whole trial began. The whole world is witness to this. lets wake up and follow what is just and the truth. To me Abdul Qadir Mullah is a shaheed (in sha Allah)

    I would like to express my deepest grieves with Abdul Qadir Shaheed Family and pray from ALLAH SAW to rest Shaheed Mullah soul in paradise. It is pre-planned judicial murder of ABDUL QADIR MULLAH SHAHEED by Secular AWAMI LEAGUE to finish Islamic movement from Bangladeshi soil but it is impossible for the satanic forces to wipe out Islamic forces

    Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

    There is no Muslim who during the day of Friday or the night of Friday but Allah will protect him from the trial of the grave. [Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1074]

    That sentence is incomplete. Please re-edit. And, we need to take this hadith in context with the other hadith on oppressors. If he is a shahid, that is Allah’s bounty. If he was a criminal, the rest will be dealt with.

    May Allah Swt accept and have Mercy on Abdul Qadir Mullah. Indeed, the Jamaat Islami is being condemned and persecuted by the secular oppressor of Bangladesh for crimes that they never committed in the run up to 1971 events. In fact, this was the only party sincere to keep Pakistan united and was critical of oppressive policies of Pakistani rulers during 1951-71.

    May ALLAH give this man shaheed status InsALLAH. This man never bow down to the anti islamic administration of Hasina and Awami league. He wanted to make ALLAH ‘S Word final in Bangladesh and beyond he was a true and fair man fighting oppression, injustice, racism. sectarianism, nationalism and and other form of inequality. He died as a true leader to his movement, humble slave of ALLAH not fearing any worldly authority or the lies and distortions that where spread , planted and manipulated in the Bangladeshi anti islamic media system. This man was fighting to keep our unique global Islamic identity. The enemies of islam as it illustrates in Surah as- saf verse 8 ‘They intend to put out the Light of Allâh (i.e. the Religion of Islâm, this Qur’ân, and the Prophet Muhammad SAW) with their mouths. But Allâh will bring His Light to perfection even though the disbelievers hate it’. My ALLAH inspire us to work for the Islamic noble causes with our lives, our resources and time fearing no one except our Lord ALLAH. Ameen.

    His martyrdom becomes all the more great as it is rare to see people who fight for justice and are prepared to give their lives in its cause. May the Almighty Allah accept him and grant him an esteemed place among the righteous. May the Almighty Allah give all Muslims the courage and conviction to fight for injustice and oppression wherever it may occur.
