Why Muslim Prisoners Are The Key to Ending Empires

February 9, 2026Yaqeen Institute

Muslims like Mahmoud Khalil, Sami Hamdi, and Marwan Marouf are being targeted more than ever simply for staying true to their faith. But this isn’t new. For hundreds of years, oppressors—from colonial powers to modern tyrants—have refined the same “playbook,” testing strategies across countries and seas to suppress Islam by imprisoning believers like Imam Jamil Al-Amin, Al-Emir Abdelkader, Sa’id ibn Jubayr, and many others. Yet no matter how detailed their plans are, they always fail against one unstoppable force: the power of muslim solidarity.

Join us as we explore the inspiring stories of three Muslims who remained steadfast in their faith, standing firm through immense challenges from centuries past to today. Their courage, conviction, and resilience continue to inspire millions and remind us of a timeless truth: faith remains a force no playbook can ever outsmart. In this video, you’ll learn about:

• How to combat historical tactics used to suppress Muslim identity

• The resilience of believers across different eras

• The stories of Imam Jamil Al-Amin, Al-Emir Abdelkader, Sa’id ibn Jubayr, and others

• Modern examples of Muslims standing firm today
