GAZA – The resignation of the Fir'aun of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak, bring joy to all Muslims, and the Palestinian Mujahideen are no exception. Ma'sadatul Mujahideen of Palestine expressed their congratulation on the resignation of Mubarak. But they are also requesting that the struggle continues. Below is their their full statement.

All praises to Allah Who helps the Mu'mineen, Who conquers the murtaddeen and defeats the arrogant thaghut;

Allah the Most Hight says;

{هُوَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مِن دِيَارِهِمْ لِأَوَّلِ الْحَشْرِ مَا ظَنَنتُمْ أَن يَخْرُجُوا وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُم مَّانِعَتُهُمْ حُصُونُهُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ فَأَتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ يَحْتَسِبُوا وَقَذَفَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الرُّعْبَ يُخْرِبُونَ بُيُوتَهُم بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَيْدِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَاعْتَبِرُوا يَا أُولِي الْأَبْصَارِ}.

"It is He who expelled the ones who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture from their homes at the first gathering. You did not think they would leave, and they thought that their fortresses would protect them from Allah ; but [the decree of] Allah came upon them from where they had not expected, and He cast terror into their hearts [so] they destroyed their houses by their [own] hands and the hands of the believers. So take warning, O people of vision." (QS. 59:2)

Indeed our ikhwah the muwahhiduun in the land of Kinanah have confirmed with their words and deeds that they are strong and their determination has been achieved in the battle of wishes, that's why they achieve victory and success. Then, the enemies got out of their country in a state of humiliation, and displaced and unable to convolute at all, after he saw the reaction of the people's response to his condemned speech last Thursday, with the increasing masses going against him, be it in groups or individually, then his spirit was crushed, his decision was in disarray and confusion, his determination was in pieces, the sense of fear was hurled into his heart, then his integrity was defeated and all his plans are destroyed, that's how the control of the government returned to our brothers and with a bounty from Allah, then with the services of the ikhwah in Tunisia and later the ikhwah in Egypt, the kalimah of the Muslim nation was thus honoured, their royah (banner) was held high and various results, i.e. things that aim at overthrowing and getting rid of the rulers who rule with other than that which Allah has revealed (will be) realized (as well as) for the good of the nation since its beginnings. Indeed, there would be no wicked thahghut system except it is in a state of broken and shattered and indeed, the Muslim nation is able to bring back the stability through their hands. So with that they deter (terrorize) the enemies of Allah and their enemies.

And indeed we, the Ma'sadatul Mujahideen in Palestine, when we are congratulating you on this victory, to our families in Egypt, we are also asking for help, demanding and calling on them to regather and not rest or return to their homes until they could pray Fajr at dawn in Gaza which is under siege, because indeed the border (wall) has not collapsed altogether and indeed the Ukhuwah of Islam obliges them to liberate us from this arbitrary and unjust blockade and this blockade is not far from them and against them, because they are our families, our support and assistance. Indeed, we are really in need of them, their sacrifices, their revival, their attitude and their aids. We are also not yaqeen (confident) if they were willing to be free and then raise their hands or leave us alone, because we are their brothers in one detention and blockade, we are facing our enemies, as well as our own fates.

{وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَنْ يَنصُرُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ}

"Allah will certainly aid those who aid his (cause);- for verily Allah is full of Strength, Exalted in Might, (able to enforce His Will)."
