Your Royal Highness,
Al-hamdu lillahi rabbi-il
'alamin
All praise is due to God alone, the Sustainer of all the worlds.
We are citizens of many countries appealing to you on behalf of Fawza
Falih Mumammad Ali who has been sentenced to death by beheading for the alleged
crimes of "witchcraft, recourse to jinn, and slaughter" of animals. The
conviction of Fawza Falih for "witchcraft" is a travesty of justice.
Your Highness, we appeal to your devotion to Allah as the greatest judge
of all. In the seventh chapter of the Qur'an it is God who tells us "My mercy
encompasses all," a mercy which bestows profound peace and infinite love. Is it
not the principle of divine compassion that rules the heart in Islam?
Surely it is the wisdom of God who is, as so many of the verses of the
Qur'an teach, much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace, which must inspire mercy for
Fawza Falih, and it is you who embodies that compassion in this realm where the
least of humanity most needs your protection.
In the name of God, please, halt the execution of Fawza
Falih immediately and release her from the Quraiyat Prison.
Thank you.
