I am so sorry for your loss and to all who are feeling this terrible loss. None of this destruction and killing make any sense to me. I have a sense of shame being part of this human race. Sadness. Condolences. I cry with all of you.

I cried, I gave off till my husband about the News, I cried more, I thought of this Man, not even in his mid twenties het, A Father, blessed with a singing voice of a. ANGEL, So devout yo the Quran, so beaming and hope filled in the last few days, none of us know his ladt moments, the torture he experienced and to hear it was by militant Palestinian "paid mercenary" types, Judases, rogue Dogs are better at humaning. The lowest of the low, basically Mossad, agents of Israel who were able to get up close and personal in our Brother Salehs space and abduct him. From relevant perceived Safety to Chaos, to underground depravity after coming past two years of daily hiding, weaving through the dangers of bombing, shelling, automatic fire, starvation.

They took our Brother when his spirits were exhaulted, he had such hope such clarity and restoration of his faith, they pretended no doubt to be his "own People" and they were like satanic demons hiding and waiting on Holy prey.

The worst judgement and fate belies these sub-men.

No peace shall they see, hear nor live because they literally killed one of Allahs own, they murdered a very Special one who was annointed by the Love and voice of God. Anyone who followed this Man knows he was chosen for a high purpose and that he was an extremely revered, high vibrational being.

I Love you Saleh and I yearn to meet you in the eternity Brother. ❤️ Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 up North in the Occupied part. Kat x x x

Of all the honorable people of Gaza, he stood tall. We didn't deserve him as much as Jannah does.

My heart bleeds for Saleh and all of Palestine. This endless horror has changed my perception of everything. I even feel guilty of eating, drinking laughing. I can’t imagine their lives and the suffering of almost 80 years. The world should just -simply STOP

Inna lillah wa inna ilayhi rajioon. Allah knows how much I loved this brother whom I'd never met, for His sake alone. May Allah forgive him. His soul is free now. Free to visit Al Aqsa which he could never visit during his worldly life. May He be resurrected amongst the martyrs and may Allah forgive me for not being able to do anything for him.

Asalamu alaikum Shaun

انا لله و انا اليه راجعون

Indeed we are from Allah and unto him we shall return

Condolences to you dear brother and the family of Saleh Al-Jafrawi and the ummah.

Saleh was a special talented kind soul that magnified the kindness of the people of Gaza.

It was quite painful to see Saleh’s father bid farewell to his son.

Saleh’s dad said to his son, you wanted the shahadah - martyrdom and you have attained it - eternal Paradise.

We all didn’t realize it, however Allah aza wa jal was letting us get to know one of the people of Paradise before he was invited back to his eternal home.

Naji, the brother of Saleh is also a Hafizh of Al-Qur’an Alkareem is supposed to be released today and missed his brother Saleh by one day. May they be united in Paradise and all of us.

In one of the videos shared by Saleh’s journalist colleagues, Saleh was asked what is your wasiyah (وصية) will upon your death.

Saleh’s reply was simple and to the point; and reflected how focused Saleh was: “Support the resistance because no one else in the world is standing with them.”

Now we know, Allah is always with those that stand and defend their land with honor and the whole ummah and all of the peace and justice seekers are with the resistance.

May Palestine all be free soon and may Saleh Al-Jafrawi be in eternal Paradise with all the martyrs.

In Islam, there are three days of mourning for a deceased. As for the martyrs they are eternally honored in the records of history.

We continue to now honor the living, the orphans, widows, parents who lost their children, the nameless kids, and pray we can all do everything to help Gaza rebuild and never experience pain ever again.

Salam - peace

I was in immediate denial, too. Then I read online, all over, that it was true. The details about Palestinian men I did not know, but now I do with your reporting.

Shaun, I am absolutely disgusted by what happened to him. I am sad for you as well.

For money..by his own? It's so sickening.

I'm afraid of what all this murdering of innocent people has created moving forward.

All the cowardly leaders and countries that stood by and did nothing--remain amongst us.

There is a very odd level of trust with these thugs I don't understand. They should of just taken the money and turned on them. Why fulfill the commitment?

Appalling.

To those Palestinians who murdered their own - "the way the wolf destroys the sheep is how your seeking money and honor will destroy you," said Prophet Muhammad may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

May Allah elevate and honor Brother Saleh, grant him justice and reward him for all that he intended to do and more. Ameen

I hate Israel too.

His memory is our blessing, and Israel’s curse.

May his martyrdom serve the world to lasting peace.
