When Only God Can See is a beautifully written and harrowing book that bears witness to the devastating experience of imprisonment. It showcases the centrality of faith and tenderly details the prayers, communities, and acts of resistance that sustained these prisoners when faced with forced disappearance, punishment, and torture. The book, written by Laleh Khalili, uncovers the unique experiences of Muslim political prisoners held in Egypt and under US custody at Guantanamo Bay and other detention black sites. It explores the intricate interplay between their religious beliefs, practices of ritual purity, prayer, and modes of resistance in the face of adversity.
Faith is revealed in the book as not only a personal spiritual connection to God but also a means of contestation against prison and state authorities. It reflects larger societal struggles and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of extreme adversity. The authors, Walaa Quisay, who has worked closely with prisoners in Egypt, and Asim Qureshi, with years of experience supporting detainees at Guantanamo Bay, have deep connections with prisoner communities. Their emphasis on the power of resistance shines through, providing a powerful account of the resilience and perseverance of these prisoners.
When Only God Can See is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of religious persecution, the power of resistance, and the resilience of the human spirit. It is a testament to the strength of faith and the importance of supporting those who are unjustly imprisoned.
