Some people are condemning Saddam Husain.

Answer

Saddam Husain is dead. He died many years ago, most probably as a Shaheed. What benefit is there in backbiting a dead man? Nothing but sin! Regardless of his sins and injustices, he died as a Muslim, looking the masked kaafir executioner in the eyes, and proclaiming verbally the Kalimah Shahaadat. His last words were La ilaahah il lallaah. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "He who says 'La ilaahah' will enter Jannat." Throughout his incarceration, he was daily reciting the Qur'aan Shareef. The fact that he proclaimed the Kalimah with the noose around his neck, makes it haraam to speak ill of him. At least there is reasonable certitude that he departed from this world with Imaan. But what assurance do those who speak ill of him have that they will leave this earth with Imaan intact?
