As the Ummah prepares for the days of Hajj, we remember Ibrahim (AS).
The man who stood alone as an ummah against shirk and was cast into the fire for his belief, a man that stood against a tyrant in a battle of intellect and succeeded.
His life was a testament to the fact that true submission to Allah requires the courage to stand for Truth, regardless of the cost.
While millions gather on the plains of Arafah to seek their own freedom from sin, thousands of our brothers and sisters remain in the shadows of modern-day dungeons.
From the cells of Belmarsh to the cages of the oppressed globally, their crime is the same as Ibrahim’s (AS): Unwavering faith.
This Dhul Hijjah, your sacrifice is their lifeline.
Help us Free the Prisoner.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.”
THE MISSION IN ACTION

Ibrahim (AS) stood against injustice and was cast into the fire.
Our brothers and sisters stand against injustice and are put behind bars.
One was tested by fire; the others are tested by chains.
As the Ummah prepares for the days of Hajj to remember Ibrahim (AS) and his ultimate sacrifice, we are reminded of the true essence of faith in Allah.
This Dhul Hijjah, we invite you to seize these ten most blessed days by moving from the quiet devotion of your prayers to the active courage of the struggle for justice—the same path walked by our Prophets.
By supporting CAGE, you are fulfilling the Prophetic command to stand for the oppressed and break the shackles of the captive.
This is our collective duty. Help us Free the Prisoner.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Allah said: Spend in charity, O son of Adam, and I will spend on you.”
What Imams and survivors say about us?
“CAGE is like Al Mu’tasim for me. They hear the cry of injustice and they respond. I ask everyone to donate to CAGE whatever you can; because they stood by me when no one did.”
Sister Maryam
“It might be better than supporting 10 da’is or scholars because they cannot do their job properly without an organisation that protects Islam and Muslims."
Shaykh Dr Haitham Al Haddad
"Torture survivor Ali Al-Marri: “I encourage you very highly to support our brothers at CAGE whom have supported me, and without Allah’s support and theirs I would have never been able to try and get my Justice from the ones who tortured me.”
Ali Al-Marri
“I extend my heartfelt thanks and support for the work of CAGE on behalf of all men and women detained without charge or trial in Guantanamo and the secret prisons. Your work is truly inspirational”.
Sami Al-Hajj
“I believe CAGE deserves to put up a signboard and write on it, honour bound to defend freedom.”
Faiz Al-Kandari
"CAGE’s work is a reminder to us all that indifference or neutrality to injustice is never an option, that the empathic disconnect in remaining silent to another's suffering is too heavy a burden for us all to bear.”
Dr Uthman Lateef
“Let's raise £50,000 in 10 days”
