In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Ever Merciful
We invoke Praise and Salutations upon the Noble Prophet (sa);
And upon his servant, the Promised Messiah (as)
With the Grace and Mercy of God
He is the Helper
O Allah! Grant us divine help with the Holy Spirit! For it is in Thy Name that we stand in the field of battle in defense of Islam, which is the Last and Perfect Law, and in defense of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa), who is the Master and Chief of both worlds. O Our Lord! Grant us a manifest victory over our opponents even though we are weak and without knowledge. For if you do not help us on this day and if You do not turn the hearts of the people towards our speech, the name of Islam will be dishonored, and your indignation can never accept such a thing. If you do not make us victors in this debate of Islam and godlessness, the selection of our Beloved Khalifah (aba) who has appointed us to this task shall also come into question, and the indignation of Your Pure and Holy Being can never accept such a thing. O Our Lord! Help us not for our sake, but for the sake of those pure and holy names which You love. O Allah! Be our Protector and our Guide. Grant us knowledge and wisdom from Thyself and open our hearts and tongues so that they might flow of divine wisdom and silence the opposition in a manner they have never experienced before. Ameen Allahumma Ameen!

In fact, Shari’ah law does not promote human rights injustices or misogyny, rather, it stands to protect the weaker segments of society and like a solid fortress, has been erected to shield humanity from the swords and spears of injustice.
