Our Muslim Nation’s endless sacrifices and the arrogant occupiers declining to accept the bitter realities

If we had to burn the educational institutions in Afghanistan then there wouldn’t have been 10 percent educational institutions left.

Question: Special envoy of USA for Afghanistan and Pakistan Hellbrook admitted last month that till now USA is unable to sew conflicts and dissension between the ranks of Taalibaans and were unsuccessful. In your last eight years, what hidden hands which you have observed were involved at Islamic Emirates Leadership level and in the ranks of Mujahideens and why USA is not successful in carrying out in dividing the Taalibans in different groups and what is the trade secrete behind it?

Answer:

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful,

Praise is due to Allah the Lord of the universe, and peace and blessings be upon the the superior of the prophets and messengers, the commander of the Mujahideen and his family and whoever stands on his methodology and strives in his path until the doomsday. And afterwards:

Unbelieving nations and in particular the occupying Americans in the Emirate of Afghanistan among the ranks of Mujahideen instigating internal rivalry and on collective level trying to destroy the Islamic Brotherhood, consistently searching for avenues to destroy the unity among their ranks, chalks out new programmes and planes new strategies and provide unconditional material support in due course. There extreme hatred and strategies filled with jealousy and malice are crystal clear but its not only that you can see what they are doing? Allaah subhanahu wata’ala in The Glorious Qur’an had warned the Muslims Fourteen Hundred Years back and has warned us about their enmity, conspiracies and their extreme malice in these words:

Allaah subhanahu wata’ala says:

Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can (Baqara :217)

Allaah subhanahu wata’ala is telling the Muslims how to counter all kinds of conspiracies of the enemies by showing the way, importance of singleness and unity. In the Holy Qur’an along with other decrees to abide by, it orders Muslims to follow strict unity among themselves and clearly forbidden internal conflicts and disagreements whatsoever. Allaah subhanahu wata’ala addresses this issue in the Holy Qur’an in such words:

And obey Allah and His Messenger and do not quarrel for then you will be weak in hearts and your power will depart, and be patient; surely Allah is with the patient (Al-Anfal :46)

Leaders of Islamic Emirate and all the Mujahideens give great value and importance that they all try their level best to be the living example of the words of Allaah subhanahu wata’ala blessed commands. All Praises be to Allaah! We can clearly see this obedience in the ranks of Mujahideens of the Islamic Emirate accountability and you can clearly see this chain of command and its quiet visible.

That is why when you look at the history of Islamic Ummah especially in the Battle of Ahzab [Forces of confederates] or Battle of Trench, since then there is no such example seen, as gathering of confederates [Disbelieving Forces] against Muslims in Afghanistan. A weak state destroyed by the long wars standing against the might and barbarism of the evil nations that got together and invaded and still that weak nation survived against them.

But Afghanistan and its Muslim Nation, only because of Allaah Subhanahu wata’ala’s “Help” and because of blessings of unity that eight years has been passed we still fighting against the disbelieving nations with patience, perseverance and with humbleness, fighting in the way of Allaah and receiving successes in difficulties, having mutual respect, honour and freedom passing their nights and days in brotherhood and unity.

If we look at the political history of all the nations and their creation, you will not see such kind of Movement and struggle that took place among them as in Islamic Emirate. Invasion by disbelieving nations, cowardly removed government by occupiers, resulting in no political power but they are having their cabinet in place and their authority and their link between people is Obedience to Command and it still continues wholeheartedly stronger then ever.

This bond of unity is the fundamental principle of Islamic Emirate’s leadership and from people’s side their constitutional obligation to fulfil which is decreed by Allaah subhanahu wata’ala in His Holy Qur’an for the Muslims brotherhood and unity.

Question: On personal level the enemy admits that the previous year was unsuccessful year for foreign forces and the Kabul Administration in terms of capturing and eliminating the Taalibans, so in current scenario Obama is sending more troops in Afghanistan, how you look at this militarily?

Answer: We had always said that in Afghanistan foreign invasion will be met with iron hands through Jihad of Afghanistan's Muslim Nation resistance and have positive influence meaning every single day brings more successes. That is with the passage of every day Mujahideens are facing new techniques, improving our skills not only with the weaponry but in administrative areas gaining more experiences and at the battle front valour against the enemy has its fruitful outcome and its awesome.

Obama planning to send more troops to Afghanistan in itself proves that current foreign forces are complete failure and has been defeated by the Mujahideens operations. They have lost the morale to fight and from the beginning closed all channels of diplomacy. If additional forces come to Afghanistan will have same defeat's, will loose their Morales and will come under the wrath of attacks. Instead being effective in winning the war will face humiliating defeats with the Grace of Allaah subhanahu wata’ala.

Question: American politicians and Western experts admits this reality, that Taalibans are much more popular as compared to the Karzai Administration and have popular people support. But we can’t see anyone, who can help the people of this nation along with Taalibans, who can discuss different affairs and take advice or who can make them accountable or make them address the deprivation of the masses. How will you give hope and tranquility to your nation and if you have to address these?

Answer: The Jihad and resistance against Americans and all occupying forces, the epicentre of this Mujahid nation. Until now we the Islamic Emirate stood against the Americans and received successes in reality this is the result due to endless sacrifices made the honourable common people of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and their martyrdoms operations. We honour these historical sacrifices that are done by our this Muslim Nation, we are deeply indebted to them and their sacrifices in this Jihad and resistance. In reality the nations this sacrifice, this love for martyrdom, for its Islamic nation and for the uplift and honour of Deen. We are one nation and one we are.

It won’t be an exaggeration in honouring our this Muslim Mujahid nation, and to be honest if you ask me to say words in their honour, respect, their excellence or the due rights that they deserve, one can not honour them in words, its not possible. If I wish to say me and nation, I can not bring “We” and “Nation” these words. I am not in favour of saying its two different words we are one.

And as for the fight against the disbelieving occupiers is concerned, our Jihad will continue until we secure our freedom, authority and achievement of Islamic System of Sovereignty. Our Mujahideens are sacrificing their necks for defending its Muslim nation.

The honour and respect of Muslim nation and its administration gets priority over all the different strategies.

The Leader of the Islamic Emirate will be accessible to its whole nation as of their teachers, their scholars, their elders and advisors and they are still in touch with the nation.

But due to certain war techniques and prevailing conditions there are people who try to harmed us from within but we and you together will overcome them and by the Grace and Help of Allaah subhanahu wata’ala we all will work together to resolve these difficulties and build the nation again.

Question: sometimes, or should I say in the previous month there were some reports that Americans and their puppets in Kabul wanted to have table talks with you, and so many times Americans and Kabul Administration have affirmed these reports but all such reports are disowned by Islamic Emirate. Are there any talks going on currently? And if the reply is in negative then what is the motive behind circulating such false reports in the media and is there any possibility at all for dialogue in the future?

Answer: The endless sacrifices of our Muslim nation and the arrogant and barbarism of occupying forces, there are so many bitter realities that they are not ready to accept it. They will never imagine to accept the reality. Everything that happened we consider it to the Blessings of Allaah subhanahu wata’ala and of our Mujahid nation’s endless mujahideen and the blessings of these sacrifices as we consider it:

And Allah only gave it as a good news and that your hearts might be at ease thereby; and victory is only from Allah; surely Allah is Mighty, Wise (Al-Anfal :10)

These arrogant foreign occupires used to put hundreds of thousands of dollars head money on so many Mujahideens and use to discredit and dishonour their names and were made deprived of all those rights that Allaah subhanahu wata’ala’s through his Mercy given us.

But now due to the Blessings of Jihad and as you have said yourself, they send their words almost every month try to have dialogues and negotiations with us. They ask and send their requests, they are now preferring peaceful exit over confrontation.

As regarding the dialogues with Islamic Emirate is concerned, our stance regarding that and conditions are well publicised and it does not need further explanation or repetition over here.

These Americans invaders and their puppet institutions repeatedly broadcasting that we are open to dialogues and their realy objective is to make the masses believe that we are ready for solutions and dialogue but these Islamic Emirate people they prefer war over peace.

These barbaric and tyrant Americans are the most cunning and deceiving people on the face of earth. Their all power and their forces available to annihilate the weak masses, to have covet operations and in deceiving people in general.

They are even deceiving their own people. If they really preferred peace over war then why in the first place they invaded Afghanistan? At that time we were keen to have solutions for the problems that we were facing and opened ourselves to all kind of diplomacy but they in their arrogance didn’t pay attention and invaded us, putting all their weaponry by killing innocent Afghan nation, to displace them, to torture and captive them and were boasting about it. They are those who got together all the Cross Worshipping nations and started their brutality on this innocent Afghan nation. We are those Afghans who defeated Communists and we had respect and honour and did a great favor to all the nations of the world, but they killed our nation barbarically and gave us blood baths with our own blood and filled the dungeons all over the globe.

Due to this humiliation of Afghan nation and its weakness, the Helper of the Oppressed Allaah subhanahu wata’ala helped them and gave victory in the same historical place as were given before. This cunning and deceiving nation, with its arterial inhuman motives to gain control is now bragging about dialogues and peaceful solution.

Islamic Emirate at this critical juncture fighting in the way of Allaah and with Allaah’s help they are being victorious and successes are on its way and they have a strong positive stance that if Americans really want to end this oppression and want to resolve the issue then first they will have to abide by what we already told them complete and conditional withdrawal and if they came to have dialogue and peace they have to sit to make an exit strategy and if they came with concealed motives and want to deceive then what is making them stay behind? Do whatever inhuman atrocities you planning to do. In such case Islamic Emirate will be present due to human disaster that took place, in the Afghanistan really needs an Afghani and Islamic administration, once more to be shown to the world in such a manner along with the support and consent of people this nation to stand on its feet so that we get equal respect in the globe with the rest of the human race and nations on equal grounds..

Question: Americans came up with new strategy in order to be successful involving China, India, Iran and Russia under the title of “TAMAS”. Involving all these countries into the problems of Afghanistan, how you perceive this step of Americans?

Answer: As we have already mentioned that Americans, unable to resist Afghan struggle under so many different conflicts popping up and to be successful. Now under these cumbersome circumstances they are begging those countries who use to be their rivals militarily, politically and economically to come to Afghanistan for their help and support.

Under the name of TAMAS it can not bring any good to Americans prevailing strategy in Afghanistan at any cost, because all these so called friends have their own vested interest and they look at things differently especially when Americans influence increases in terms of their forces, political or economically, they disagree regarding American expansionism. Americans do understand this very well, but their humiliated defeat in Afghanistan militarily all of it plans and threats with its good and bad results are mixed up and first they are given the gifts of friends and foes.

Question: In your previous tenure Islamic Emirate had made so many efforts and the policies were stern, Isalamic Sharia’a legal ways [exceptions and honour] among these two, much importance was given to honour, and on some occasions problems pertaining to human life, needs and divested masses were not addressed properly. Do you accept certain flaws in your previous tenure? And in coming days whether you are willing to undo those mistakes and address them and what hope you can offer to the nation?

Answer: You know yourself that at time war was imposed on us at different levels and directions by invisible hands. It was not that visible that masses could recognize it easily, but once Cross Worshippers invaded all those hidden hands were visible and everybody involved accepted that they were interfering. What I mean to say is, due to wars you are unable to pay attention to so many important area of national needs and on one part huge expenditure and burden fells on the economy and cracks your backbone and the secondly it diverted attention but still at that time, as the war was being contained, days were changing life was coming to normalancy, we were gaining experience but I will say that at that time more attention was given on how to reunite the Afghans, how to recollect life after war stricken country, how to stop the influence of foreigner in our country, how to put on track the derailed system of governance, and for so many different areas give and prepare grounds for other services needed for the nation make them available and another important point is those mistakes were at that time not now but what we see now what the enemies is propagating through its uncontrollable propaganda what I mean to say is, if there is a mistake on Mujahideen’s part the enemy will make a big fuss out of it and will repeat it over and over again on monthly basis with exaggerations on top of it but all those good and positive services that we had provided, no one talks about it you just put them and conceal it as if it never did happen.

Anyways, Islamic Emirate on some of its personnel level had its weaknesses and its doubts and we don’t claim that they were innocent and too pious as if we were angels, no we are human beings and human life in its totality is collection of experiences. We too from the good experiences of past will work on it and for the future ask from Allaah subhanahu wata’ala help, we will work for painstrucken Muslim Nation to set up one real Islamic life which will suffice all Islamic standards and human standards collectively to set up institutions, and in all our affairs ask goodness and strength and welfare of the human beings with love and care and this is Allaah subhanahu wata’ala great favours on His righteous slaves and may Allaah subhanahu wata’ala accepts us of His good slaves.

Question: Education and training that is the essence of Deen [Religion] and as well the worldy and human need. There is an objection on Islamic Emirate that it never paid serious attention to these areas. Kabul Administration says that women schools were burnt by Taalibans, how much truth lies in such allegations? Islamic Emirates in its current governance giving attention to these important aspects of life in terms of policies and procedures?

Answer: As per our resources Islamic Emirates authority had given special attention to the Education. We still in Islamic Emirates affairs we have commission for education and training and trying to equip our generations and to serve them and we even being in debt in doing so. As for as the allegation raised against burning of the educational institutions is concerned its just another baseless propaganda of our enemies but now the nation understands it, they acknowledge our efforts in this regards and they can’t be fooled anymore through such lies and fabrications. If we had to burn the educational institutions then you would not be able to see ten percent of it left. And as for as the enemies are concerned due to their fear they had built Army barricades all over the educational institutions and made save heavens of their administration and even made them training areas to take part in it and when these students take part in battles to win or to terrorize them, then they say Taalibaans were the one who exploded the institute and this is the reality which people look with their own eyes.

Question: Its been said that lately, that the Taaliban’s military and in Administrative wing have seen some vital appointments, due attention is given, kindly give detail explanation and in these sensitive matters and conditions why this need arised?

Answer: In Jihad, accountability, changes in the positions and removing or appointing someone plus obeying the higher command is the backbone and core. Islamic Emirate Higher Personnel pay special attention of his people daily affairs and their attitudes and at so many occasions the person in command of military affairs goes through command briefings and shares field expertise and his technical knowledge so they have to take steps accordingly. This is the reason that in the current year there has been a lot of reshuffling on so many different battle zones.

So these changes and appointments depends on excellence in piety and accountability along with expertise it encompasses everything. And at different territories, the way they work out operations, and how they finalize it by using their own experiences of the terrain and skills and the way we have seen it with our own eyes different execution in the systematic way and promoting and demoting personnel's on different administrative and military levels produce good results and its very essential and the needs arise. If Allaah subhanahu wata’la willing such changes will bring fruitful results in Jihad areas for sure.

Question: SARK periodical, focusing on Afghan Mujahideen’s battle field operations, their national thought provocation and on their defence part, how you justify their efforts? how you look at their role and if any suggestions in this regard?

Answer: SARK journal, more than a year ago, was the first in Afghanistan’s broadcast media to start its Jihadi and Da’wa mission, on personal note I always looked forward to read something of this sort and whenever I came across it I read it article in depth.

At that time on the horizon of Afghanistan’s printing media a new journal “SARK” appeared and so many different newspapers claimed free independent news coverage and took the credits for it but SARK is the first one to give practically raised voice to not only freedom but the right to self governance infront of its enemies and proved itself and its presence. All members of SARK till now been honest to their journalistic ethics which is their national and Islamic duty and accountability which they conveyed and I pray to Allaah Jalah Jalalahu to give more successes.

Question: what is your message to Afghan people?

Answer: Message is until we have freed our nation with the blessings of our sacrifices, we will not be freed from these occupiers. Our Religion and our nation will be under consistent threat until we have our own self governance without any foreign interference. So our first priority should be to reunite our ranks for Jihad and to support the Mujahideens we have to help them, we have to be with them in their ranks, disbelievers are not only enemies of Taalibs [student], Mulla [cleric] or Mujahid but they are enemies of Islam and the Muslims in general and they have invaded all of their lands, so we should all stand against them together and fight them and understand this reality until you unleash your swords and make the enemy run from our beloved lands till then we can not say that we have freed our nation and if the enemy wanted to leaves this territory without war then why it invaded us in the first place? So I ask all the Muslims to pay special attention! The enemy is full of cunningness and deception and all that he says that we are the friends, what they say through their mouths practically they don't abide but it. What it conceal in his breast is totally different and it has hidden objectives but we know the reality and we know the way to success and that is the honourable way of Jihad.
