Qiyaam (night prayers) will be led by former prisoner Faraj Hassan Alsaadi. Faraj Hassan is a haafidh al-Qur'aan who studied riwayah Qaalun 'an Naafi' in Libya and thereafter travelled to Pakistan where he obtained ijaaza in the Riwayah of Hafs 'an 'Aasim and studied the riwayah of Khalaf 'an Hamza. He is currently still studying the remainder of the Qira'aat.

A Tribute to Faraj Hassan Alsaadi
The eyes shed tears, the heart grieves, but we do not say except that which pleases our Lord
It is with the utmost sadness that we share the heartbreaking news that former detainee Faraj Hassan Alsaadi died in a tragic motorcycle accident on August 16th at 9am. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon - to God we belong and to Him we return. His last night in this world was spent in defence of his sister, Aafia Siddiqui, speaking to a crowd of 300 in her support at the 'Aafia - the Last Stand' rally and supplicating for her in an unprecedented act, leading 90 people in qiyaam and qunut outside the US embassy, London.
As he died whilst fasting in the blessed month of Ramadhan, we pray that the hadith is glad tidings for him -"Whoever fasts one day seeking the Face of Allah and that was his final action, will enter Paradise." (Ahmad)
