WITH ALLAH’S NAME THE MERCIFUL BENEFACTOR, THE MERCIFUL REDEEMER
NOT SO FAST SHIRLEY…!
JUDGE WANTS TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THIS YOUNG WIDOW’S MARRIAGE
Dear brothers and sisters,
Muslims, followers in the association of our late Honorable Imam W. D. Mohammed
As you know we went to court in Chicago, Illinois on Monday, March 9, 2009. Khadijah Siddeeq-Mohammed, the widowed wife of Imam W. D. Mohammed, was represented by a most capable dignified lawyer, Ms. Kapitan, and supported by a respectable contingent of approximately 30 to 40 faithful Muslims. Shirley Muhammad, the divorced ex-wife of Imam Mohammed, and her children attended–accompanied by 2 or 3 family members and approximately 2 members of the Muslim community.
Despite the Muhammads’ claim of Shirley being the legal wife of Imam Mohammed and despite the Judge having read their documentation and being ready to accept said claim and rule in favor of her, things took a dramatic turn at the last minute when Attorney Kapitan presented to Judge Budzinski the Marriage Certificate signed by Khadijah Siddeeq and Imam W. D. Mohammed. After the Judge read and listened to Ms. Kapitan’s pleadings, he accepted her request not to rule in favor of Shirley Muhammad but to continue the proceedings until May 11, 2009, and allow Attorney Kapitan to present documented evidence that support her filings. Along with the certificate presented by Ms. Kapitan were documentation and affidavits signed by Muslims supporting Khadijah and Imam Mohammed’s marriage and affirming his position on being married to two women at the same time (web site: siddeeq.com). These affidavits played a key role in the judge’s refusal to grant Shirley Muhammad’s baseless wish.
Khadijah would like to thank all who have sent affidavits and money and prayed for the triumph of truth in this matter. Please know that this effort is not over and that we still need every Muslim who wants to see justice prevail to continue to send financial support and to get those affidavits filled out, signed, and mailed to Khadijah.
We, too, would like to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for all of those who came in support of the truth and contributed time and money to help keep this community struggle for justice alive and victorious.
MARK THIS DATE ON YOUR CALENDAR AND LET’S FILL UP THE COURT ROOM ON MONDAY MAY 11, 2009 AT 10 AM.
The affidavit and financial contributions to the legal defense fund may be mailed to:
Khadijah Siddeeq-Mohammed
