Abu Saqqar is one of the firsts to join the Free Syrian Army (FSA) in the outset of the Syrian Revolution 5 years ago. He fought with al-Faruq brigade in 2012 in Baba Amro. He founded independent Omar al-Faruq brigade which fought in countryside of Homs especially al-Qusair.

Media outlets called him heart eater as he did in one of the videos. He commented saying he did that as a response to what the regime thug did as he raped girls and burned people alive. He said any free Syrian who would watch these disgusting scenes would do the same.
Abu Saqar told BBC in an interview in May 2012, he checked the thug’s mobile phone and saw a video of the thug he killed raping a woman and her two daughters which led him to take revenge in his own way. He was shocked to the art of humiliating women the thug was doing in Baba Amro where al-Saqar comes from.
Activist Hadi Abdullah mourned Abu Saqar on his Facebook page saying he was one brave jihadist and fighter. He added that Abu Saqar being called a heart eater of a thug who raped his sisters and relatives in front of their husbands. No one can realize the ugliness of these scenes unless they go through them. Abu Saqar joined each and every battle in Homs and Qalamoon or Idlib and Latakia.
Hadi said he saw around 19 injuries in Abu Saqqar’s body the last time he met him. Hadi prayed for his soul and called for revenge from his killers.
