..Eighteen Year-old Muslimah In Prison for Killing Rapist
An 18 year-old in America has been charged of murder and is being held
in a jail in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Hala Gabr, was just 17 and three weeks of turning 18, when her foster
mother took her to Atlantic City, while she went into a casino. Hala
was left by herself to see the sights. After a while, Hala called a
cab to go back and meet up with her foster mother.
The cab driver offered her $20. to have sex with her. When Hala
refused, the cab driver pulled a knife on her and forced to a motel
room where he raped her violently. Medical records proved that she was
sexually violated. At some point during the whole ordeal, she hit the
cab driver with a bottle and knocked him to the ground. As he went
down, she reached for the knife and stabbed him 13 times.
She hid his body in the bed under the mattress, cleaned up the room,
drove off in his car and threw all of his belongings in a nearby
stream. These items have been found, negating the prosecution's claim
that she was stealing his belongings.
Because she was so shocked by the whole incident, she got into a car
accident, and was taken unconscious to a hospital. When she was
revived, she fled to her father's house in Brooklyn (from where she
originally escaped from abuse and thus put into a foster home). The
police found her purse in the car and traced her there, where she was
arrested.
The rapist, authorities said, frequently picked up prostitutes and was
known as a sxual predator in the Atlantic City area.
Hala does not have a criminal record, and although she cannot get the
death penalty because of her age at the time, she is subject to life
without parole for 50 years. She is currently being held on $500,000
dollars bail.
We are urging the readers to make du'a for Hala in every prayer and to
request that sisters write her at the following address:
Hala Gabr
Atlantic City Correctional Center
5060 Atlantic Avenue
Mays Landing, NJ 08330

assalamu alaikum brothers and sisters
inshallah u r all well
i cnt believe how america treats the innocent and lets the guilty roam the streets if they knew this guy was a rapist why was he a cab driver? its such a sad story a young girl in the wrong place and because of 1 harami kaafir she now has her life taken from her her freedom and now she in a filthy prison where the kaffirs make up the rules astagfirullah !!!
inshallah i will write to her and encourage other sisters to do the same sisters imagine you was in that position u were brutally raped then u was sent to prison for it !!! where is the justice these kaffirs have no hearts
OMG!!!That is just soooo sad....i have to go everywhere alone on my own...and this will be on my mind now....may Allah protect the rest of us from all harm..ameen...
Oh my Allah....He raped her!!! This sick and pathetic Kaffir. She did the right thing to kill him and defend herself.
Oh Allah swt protect the weak and those in need of your protection and make the pain of this sister one that will pass and give her mercy and forgiveness.
“A woman who is forced to commit Zina (adultery or fornication) is obliged to defend herself and should not give in, even if she kills the one who wants to rape her. Self-defense is obligatory, and she is not at fault if she kills the one who wants to force her into having sex.
Our beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have said: “Whoever is killed in defense of his property is a martyr, whoever is killed in defense of himself is a martyr, whoever is killed in defense of his religion is a martyr, and whoever is killed in defense of his family is a martyr.” (Reported by Imam Ahmad and Ibn Hibban)
May Allah bless her soul in this Dunya and in the Akhira with the Highest Station of Al-Firdaus, and may Allah place her amongst the 70,000 Muslims who enter Paradise with no account on The Day of Judgment.
As she is Muslim the government will treat her as the criminal. May Allah ruin the lives of those who try to harm her or upset her!
I pray that the Muslims in America stand up for her and support her until she is freed Inshah'Allah. Not only that, but we all must stand up for her wherever we are in the World. She is our Sister, part of our hearts. If she feels pain, so should our hearts feel the pain alongside her.
wallahi sisters thats scary even to witness but what can you do in such a world, subhannallah
“If you punish, then punish with the like of that wherewith you were afflicted. But if you endure patiently, indeed it is better for the patient. Endure you patiently. Your patience is not except through the help of Allah." (al-Nahl 16:126-127)
what about self deffence? i dont know about you, but if someone was trying to rape me, id wat to kill them
ermmm!!!!!but like your a guy!!!!mostly its guys who rape girls rite??and the girl would most likely give up fighting coz she knowes she will be defeated.....
what about self deffence? i dont know about you, but if someone was trying to rape me, id wat to kill them
Yeah, but it might still be involuntary manslaughter.
Sorry for sounding harsh. I'm just frustrated at the prevalent attitude that Muslims are being picked on ALL the time. I mean, yeah, a lot of times there is evidence of hatred against Muslims, but judging from the facts of this unfortunate young lady, it's not Muslims being treated unfairly.
i just want to put this point forward again insha Allaah:
“A woman who is forced to commit Zina (adultery or fornication) is obliged to defend herself and should not give in, even if she kills the one who wants to rape her. Self-defense is obligatory, and she is not at fault if she kills the one who wants to force her into having sex.
