As-Salaamu Alaikum and Hello All, 

Firstly, I'd like to apologize for the lack of communication on my part and I promise to do better going forward! A lot of folks have been curious about the Imam's health and though he is up in age and suffering from a number of serious conditions including cancer, he seems to be doing fine Alhamdulillah...or at least as fine as one can be under the current circumstances.  

His attorneys have recently filed what amounts to another appeal action on behalf of my Father to the Supreme Court so we are still fighting and our pro bono attorney's are still working with us which is definitely a blessing. 

As for the documentary, for reasons outside of my control (people willing to speak on camera primarily) we have decided to approach this project as a dramatized mini series much like when they see us. I will be working on this project with my brother Umar Regan and insha Allah, the goal is still to have the project release on a major streaming platform. 

Lastly, those of you who are owed a copy of the Imam's latest book, we have not forgotten about you and are working to get that printed and sent out to you as quickly as possible.  Thank you for your patience! 

If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an email and I'll get back to you as soon as I can and thank you again for your support!

As-Salaamu Alaikum, 

I just wanted to give a quick update on my father's health.  As you may or may not have heard through the grapevine, the Imam had a Stroke last week and was transported to the hospital. He has since been returned back to USP Tucson and is recovering well.

Please keep the Imam in your due and what ever efforts you intend to make to support him, make them with haste.  

Lastly, please remember that though I understand that I am The Imam's primary point of contact, he is also my father and I am also a son coming to terms with his superhero's mortality. Bismillah, the work continues.

Free Rap, Free The Imam...FREE MY FATHER!

Shukran/Thank you everyone! While we didn't reach our goal, we put a major dent in it and for that we are truly grateful. Alhamdulillah for you and your generosity. 

A few updates, 

1. The 11th Circuit court of appeals hearing went as well as it could go in our opinion.  However, we are still waiting for their ruling.  In the meantime, we are focused on continuing the fight in the court of public opinion. 

2. Now that our crowd funding campaign has ended, we know where we stand and what we need to do.  We are moving into the production phase of this project which means we will be revamping the website but we are also beginning shooting this month as well.  We can't wait to share the trailer with you once it is completed.  

3. All donors will receive a copy of the brief that was filed in order to allow us the opportunity to argue in front of the 11th circuit as well as a legal breakdown of the points covered in the hearing.  

4. All Donors who are to receive a physical copy of the book, we are currently editing and preparing for print.  We will be shipping out the book copies before the end of this year.  

5. All donors who are to receive a physical or digital copy of the documentary will be updated once it is completed.

6. Lastly, we will continue to update you all on our progress through this channel as well as the website, Facebook and instagram.  Should you have any questions, feel free to reach out. The struggle continues.  Free Rap, Free Imam Jamil...Free My Father!

Yesterday was a good day.  It was a lot but it was good Alhamdulillah. 

The oral arguments went well. I agree with the Judge who stated that our argument was “very well presented.” Much appreciation as always to Attorney Allen Garrett and the entire our entire Kilpatrick Townsend team/family.  Once the transcript of the oral arguments are available, I will be doing a video breakdown of them from my perspective for you all Insha Allah.

The support from around the country was beautiful and in some instances overwhelming in the best way. It’s a blessing and Allah truly sends the help.  I was feeling kind of alone because support wasn’t present in places where I thought it’d be a given but masha Allah, Allah truly sends the help and we are thankful for you all.  Now we will be waiting for the Court to make a decision. 

In the meantime, we must continue our efforts to spread the TRUTH. 

Also, Thank you to Doug Richards for his fair reporting thus far.

My father called me during the debriefing yesterday and was able to speak to those present and his request was that you remember him in your Dua and remember him to your friends, family and colleagues. Keeping him alive in the hearts and minds of the people is paramount to our success and so, that is exactly what we will do insha Allah.

Shukran again for everything, this is just the beginning. 

Let’s work #Bismillah #WhatHappened2Rap

Just wanted to send out a quick update.  We have extended our end date through Ramadan as we believe we will be able to reach it.  Shukran for $15,000+!  No matter, what, we will begin the shooting process in June for the documentary.  Thank you all again.

As-Salaamu Alaikum/Greetings, 

First and foremost, I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has contributed.  The Imam sends his Salaams and thanks as well as I update him every time we speak. Alhamdulillah, we are in the early stages of working on a trailer for the documentary.  Thanks to your contributions, we have been able to check off a number of items on our to do list and begin spreading the word much at a much faster pace than expected.  Below is a list of updates for you including speaking engagements and radio interviews should you want to attend/tune in. We believe we can win this fight and are truly thankful for your assistance.  

Shukran Ma'a Salaama,
