Thank you
November 29, 2013
Dear all,
I am thankful to Allah (s.w.t.) for an early release from the Federal Prison Camp in Cumberland, Maryland. Upon receiving the order from Judge O’Grady, the prison authorities gave me just 10 minutes to pack my belongings and to leave from the premises of the Federal Prison Camp. I am pleased to be home with my family and friends since Friday, November 22, 2013.
At the beginning, the notion of imprisonment weighed very heavily on my conscience. I was mindful that some of my friends wanted to know the conditions I was living in. The conditions at the Camp in Cumberland were propitious and the avenues available were favorable to all the inmates.
This period of incarceration provided me an opportunity for introspection. It was also an opportunity to reflect and to learn from the past and re-focus on the future. This process of self-examination undoubtedly strengthened my inner self and beliefs. It also opened the doors of understanding and growth. Charles Kettering proved to be right when he said, “When there is an open mind, there always be a frontier.”
During my incarceration, I was uniquely blessed to have the visitations from more than 70 people and the correspondence from 93 persons. It is beyond doubt that it proved to be a source of strength and encouragement during this time of trials and tribulations. I would like to convey my deepest appreciation to all my well-wishers for keeping me in their thoughts and prayers.
I came to know that some of you were trying to contact me after my release. Please note my new cell phone number and email:
