The Days Approaching Execution
During a visit to the Nusakambangan prison with the "Tim Pembela Muslim" (TPM) or "The Muslim Advocates Team", reporter Farouk Arnaz, reported: The complexion on the faces of Amrozy, Imam Samudra, and Mukhlas looked radiant. There were no signs of anxiety in their faces. Special scents like those of the Arabic perfume emanated inside the cell measuring 6 x 8 meter.
“Alhamdullilah, our conditions are fine here. Our faces look radiant? May be because we are not corruptors,” Amrozy said spontaneously in his usual trademark of a smiley face.
Even though most of the victims were civilians, Samudera, Muklas, and Amrozy were confident that their actions was a part of Jihad and due to that, they did not regret at all. “With regards to the unintended muslim victim, I have already repaid by performing the 'kifarat' (penalty) fasting for a complete two months. The affair is now between me and Allah,’’ Amrozy added.
Whether joking or serious, he said that he always got the firasat (insights) through dreams before receiving any guest. “If I dream about a mouse or monkey, it means that there will be visitors from the Mabes/Polri (Indonesian government or Police Dept),’’ he continued. And he admitted of dreaming about people gathering around him the night before. “Now, it turned out that some reporters are visiting,’’ he said.
When asked if there are any changes in his life in the days approaching the execution, Amrozy said no. His every day is the same as before where he still maintain his practice of performing the fasting of Prophet Daud AS. A day he fasts and the next day he doesn’t. He always goes to sleep at 21:00 and wake up at 01:00 before dawn to perform the the late night sunnah prayers and carries on until the fajr comes.
After dawn till 07.00 am the space in front of their cells are opened. They make use of this opportunity for exercise. From 07.00-09.00 am they are back inside the cells. After that, from 09.00 to 16.00, the cell’s gate are opened again and they can do some activities again in a limited way. That's how it goes,.
Samudera explained that it was in between those times that he fills his daily activities with repeating his memorization of the Qur’an, revising the books of the scholars from the past, taking down notes and writings, as well as like Amrozy– encountering some spiritual experiences. For example, hearing the greetings of peace (assalamualaikum) again and again, but when we checked there was nobody nearby.
When the day of the execution comes, what do you like to be remembered as?
Samudera took a deep breath. “Don’t remember. Forget about me. I am only acting on the words of Allah.” This gradute from the ‘Afghanistan Jihad’ also requested that there shouldn’t be any crying – may be he meant his wife and children– the moment his body was laid stiff inside the grave. "Allah says, we are only a speck of dust. We are not celebrities,” he ended.
