AllahuAkbar Shaykh Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi is released

13-03-2008

AllahuAkbar! AllahuAkbar! Nothing describes the happiness of the Mu’mineen all around the world this day. AllahuAkbar! Our beloved Shaykh is released! Mashaa’Allaah the du’aa of the Muslims helped in his release.

For those who don’t understand our excitement, allow us to explain…

This Shaykh is one of the top Shuyookh of the Mujaahideen. The tyrants fear his name as they know his great ability to expose them for their Shirk and crimes against the Ummah. He helps us through his knowledge and wisdom which he gets solely from the book of Allah Ta’aala and the Sunnah of His Messenger (sallallahu ‘alayhi wassallam). This Shaykh is a real slave of Allah ‘Azza wa Jall simply because he has helped revived Al-Walaa’ wal Baraa’ah (alliance and disavowal for the sake of Allah) in this Century. He is also a Shaykh of the beloved Martyred Mujaahid Shaykh, Abu Mus’ab Az-Zarqawi (rahimahullah). Again, his works are just absolutely tremendous and phenomenal and one should really spend their time going through them and seeing what he has to say. I say that especially to the Muslims living in the West.

You can find his translated works here

And you can find his Arabic works here

The US Government is obviously upset over his release; Alhamdullilaah, that shows that this Shaykh is upon the right Manhaj! The Manhaj of Da’wah and Jihaad fe Sabeelillaah!

AllahuAkbar wal ‘Izzatullilaah!

May Allah protect you Ya Abaa Muhammad!

Jordan releases leading al Qaeda mentor
Wed Mar 12, 2008 8:34am EDT

AMMAN (Reuters) - Jordanian authorities on Wednesday released Jordanian Sheikh Abu Mohammad al-Maqdisi, a leading al-Qaeda mentor, after several years imprisonment without trial, security sources said.

They said Maqdisi, who was regarded as the spiritual mentor of slain al Qaeda leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, had been in solitary confinement since he was rearrested in July 2005 following his acquittal at a trial of al Qaeda sympathizers.

“He was released,” said one security source without elaborating on the circumstances of the release of Maqdisi.

The militant Jihadi shared a cell block with Zarqawi for four years between 1995 and 1999. Both were freed in an amnesty. Zarqawi later went to Afghanistan then Iraq.

U.S. intelligence officials say Maqdisi is a major Jihadi mentor who wields more influence over Islamist ideology than leading militants such as Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahri.

A study by a private think tank of the U.S. military academy West Point in 2006 described Maqdisi, a self-taught religious intellectual, as the most influential living Islamist mentor. (Writing by Suleiman al-Khalidi; Editing by Ibon Villelabeitia)

Spread the good news to your friends, family, and local Masaajid inshaa’Allaah! Educate the people on who this Shaykh is and invite them to read his works!

Unfortunately, some Muslims will read this news item and say, “Oh, he’s just another one of those terrorists… we need to condemn him!” So let’s re-write the news article and write it the way it was intended:

Jordanian authorities on Wednesday released Jordanian Sheikh Abu Mohammad al-Maqdisi, a leading Islamic Scholar, after several years imprisonment without trial, security sources said.

They said Maqdisi, who was regarded as the Islamic Scholar of slain Islamic leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, had been in solitary confinement since he was rearrested in July 2005 following his acquittal at a trial of Islamic sympathizers.

“He was released,” said one security source without elaborating on the circumstances of the release of Maqdisi.
