Hossein Reyhani faces the death penalty for the charge of “fighting Allah,” because he sent a text message saying “a bank was set on fire.” This is because the text discussed opposition to the regime and suggested that Reyhani opposed it, and to oppose the Islamic regime is to oppose Allah. The Qur’an says: “Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people, and remove the fury in the believers’ hearts.” (9:14-15) So if one must fight unbelievers so that Allah can punish them, to fight the executors of Allah’s wrath is likewise to fight Allah himself.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s order to treat those jailed for protests in Iran in November 2019, may in fact have been a call for maximum pressure on inmates in security prisons.
The Iranian Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) on July 11 featured a letter by Hossein Reyhani, an Iranian who has been in jail since the November 2019 protests to rising gas prices….
In the letter on HRANA’s website, Reyhani says: “It might sound funny but I am in jail simply because I sent a text message to a friend and told him that “a bank was set on fire.”
A court in Tehran charged Reyhani with “fighting Allah,” an accusation that can entail the death penalty, simply because he sent a text message….
Ironically, four days before Reyhani’s arrest last autumn, Khamenei ordered his security chief Ali Shamkhani to treat those arrested in the protests with “Islamic kindness and affection.”
Seven months after Khamenei’s order the accusation of “fighting Allah” is hanging over Reyhani’s neck, and three young men Amir Hossein Moradi, Saeed Tamjidi and Mohammad Rajabi are given death sentences in Tehran and eight other inmates in Isfahan are charged with “corruption on earth,” another conviction that can entail death sentence.
