Three months after the tragic death of Imam Luqman Abdullah, Dearborn Police have finally released the autopsy report (1/29/10).
The imam's body was discovered handcuffed, bleeding, and prone to the floor after an FBI raid of a warehouse 40 minutes from Ann Arbor. He had 21 distinguishable bullet wounds, at least one of which entered through his back: most were below the waist.
The director of CAIR-MI describes his reaction to the autopsy report as being "startled" and implies "cautiously" that Muslims all over the world will not be pleased to hear the circumstances of Imam Luqman's demise.
When hearing the likes of such awful news, Muslims need to turn to Allah. First and foremost.
As a follower of Islam, one is to believe that Allah is ArRahman and ArRaheem and AlAdl. That is, The Most Merciful, The Dispenser of Compassion, and The Ever-Just, respectively.
Muslims should also find solace in the fact that Allah promises to be on the side of the righteous. With that belief comes the act of accepting that some things are simply not in our hands.
There is the Hereafter, there exists Judgement Day, and there will be Justice. Demonstrate your Islamic faith by living in the most peaceable, educated, and kindest of ways as Allah instructs in the Quran.
Remember: 2:62 Those who believe, and those who follow the Jewish scriptures, and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (Translated by Yusuf Ali)
