The Islamic Emirate Of Afghanistan:
May the Almighty Accept in His Sight your Fast
and Congratulations on Eid-ul-fitr
Shawwāl 07, 1432 A.H, Tuesday, September 06, 2011
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
The Muslims performed worship of
fasting in the month of Ramadan with dignity, humility and
elation of belief as per the injunction of their Lord, the
Most Merciful. They completed a cycle of one of the best,
precious time and auspicious moments where they were being
favored with innumerous blessings by their Lord every coming
moment. Many were servants of God and those who observed the
fast that they became entitled to receive forgiveness, mercy
and salvation from the fire of hell in accordance with Divine
discretion and bestowal.
The Afghan Muslim and Mujahid people passed the auspicious
month of Ramadan in a particular order that, on one hand, they
were fasting and, on the other hand, they were holding in
their hands the sword (for the protection of) the religion of
Allah. Thus they were keeping the fronts of both obligations
(Ramadan and Jihad) engaged and full of essence.
The Americans martyred and wounded tens of common people and
have caused them severe financial losses as a result of aerial
bombardments and (night) raids during Ramadan. Casualties of
the common people in Nad Ali district of Helmand province,
Domanda district of Khost province, Narang district of Kunar
province, Khogyani and Gilan districts of Ghazni province and
Sheikhabad neighborhood of Wardak province are clear evidences
that even the invaders have accepted the responsibility or
common people took to the streets in reaction to the invaders’
brutality. The Afghans did not leave the field of Jihad and
battle even for a while because they believe that in the niche
of the history of Islamic Ummah, the month of Ramadan has gone
down as a period of the first battle between the truth and
Falsehood. i.e. the Battle of Badre, one of the first
expeditions of Islamic history, took place on 17th of Ramadan,
the second Hijri year.
The Afghan fighters dealt a jaw-breaking blow at the invaders
under the leadership of America in this Ramadan, inflicting
heavy material and life losses on them. This sent streaks of
pangs and grief all over America, particularly, the downing of
Chinook helicopter by Mujahideen in Wardak province which
resulted in the fatality of 31 American commandos borne in on
the Westerners, for the first time, that the war of
Afghanistan has paralyzed the war machine of America.
Moreover, the Taliban have proved their ascendancy in the
battle with American forces.
Observers believe, the prominent victories of Mujahideen and
the heavy casualties of American invaders in the blessed month
of Ramadan is, undoubtedly, a symbol of Divine blessing and
favor. It is but a replica of the historical Jihadi epic that
the holy Prophet of Islam (peace be upon him) and his
companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) achieved in
the battle with the polytheists of Makkah in the blessed month
of Ramadan when the Almighty Allah (SWT) foisted final defeat
on the polytheists.
Similarly, the message of felicitation of the esteemed
Amir-ul-Momineen, Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid (May Allah
protect him) on the occasion of the completion of the month of
the fasting and the advent of Eid-ul-fitre which was directed
to the Mujahideen, is certainly a comprehensive message,
touching on the latest Jihadic triumphs; on withdrawal of
limited contingents of American troops; on establishment of
American permanent basis; on future of the country and on
negotiation. The Message also contains instructions for
Mujahideen and some other vital matters. As such, it was
vastly reflected in media at world level and the Afghans
whole- heartedly commended its contents. In brief, it
augmented the spirit and Islamic emotions of all.
The message has unambiguously assessed the realities and
developments ( of the country) and expressed its opinion
regarding essential issues. The establishment of American
permanent bases, negotiation and the future system of
government, has been elucidated in clear terms. It has
answered the propaganda and misleading accusations of some
self-interested circles who frequently try to confuse the
Afghan public opinion. In a part of the message, this issue is
dealt with as under:
“Our manifesto is that Afghanistan should have a real Islamic
regime which is acceptable to all people of the country. All
ethnicities will have participation in the regime and
portfolios will be dispensed on the basis of merits; will
maintain good relations with regional and world countries on
the basis of mutual respect and Islamic and national
interests. Such dispensation will entirely focus on conduits
to recover the spiritual and material losses that have been
caused by the three decades-long war.”
“Limited withdrawal of the invading forces can in no way solve
the issue of Afghanistan. The Jihad will continue unabatedly,
because superficial measures further complicate the issue of
Afghanistan and can produce harmful consequences. The invading
forces should seek a lasting and convincing solution to the
issue by immediately withdrawing their forces.”
“The Afghan nation is not ready to accept establishment of
American permanent bases here. The Afghans consider military
presence of the invaders whether it is in a greater size or a
smaller, as a foreign occupation.”
“The Islamic Emirate considers the presence of the foreign
invading troops in the country, their blind-bombardment, night
raids, their brutalities; tortures and tyranny as the main
cause of the current imbroglio in the country. The issue would
come to an end when the said brutalities are meted out.
Similarly, IE considers establishment of an independent
Islamic regime as a conducive mechanism for sustainability of
religious and worldly interests of the country and the
countrymen. For this purpose, every legitimate option can be
considered in order to reach this goal.”
We believe if the Americans and the Western countries
carefully go through the message of felicitation of the
esteemed Amir-ul-Momineen and shun to look at it from an angle
of stubbornness and arrogance, they will find in it some
useful advices and ways to end the war of Afghanistan and to
extricate themselves from the crisis they are grappling with.
To end, we pray that may the Almighty Allah accept in His
Sight the fast of the month of Ramadan, the worship, obedience
and Jihad of the Afghans and the Islamic Ummah. We hope, the
Almighty may favor us all with elation and joy in these days
of the auspicious Eid and eliminate problems and sufferings of
the Islamic Ummah.
