Latest Advice From DPO Abdullah Sunata To Ikhwan Mujahideen
Jamadi-us-Sani 01, 1431 A.H, Sunday, May 16, 2010
The current most wanted 'terrorist'
by the Densus 88 Mabes Polri, Abdullah Sonata, declared
that he would not surrender. Hence, Sonata motivates the
ex-prisoner 'terrorists' to return to the jihad arena.
Besides that, this man believed by the police to be taking
the role of Dulmatin also invites the entire alumnis of
Afghanistan, Moro-Mindanao (Philippines), and the Poso
conflict to unite.
This is a rough translation (from Indonesian + Arabic) of
the latest message of advice from this Mujahid who is
listed in the DPO or wanted persons list of the
thaghut government of Indonesia. Such a difference
between the words of those who are upon Jihad in their
persons and the advices of those who are merely
spectators.

…………………
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته.
إن الحمد لله نحمده ونستعينه ونستهديه ، ونعوذ بالله من
شرور أنفسنا ومن سيئات أعمالنا، من يهده الله فلا مضل له ،
ومن يُضلل فلا هادي له.
وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له ، وأشهد أن
محمداً عبده ورسوله.
أما بعد: فإن أصدق الحديث كتابُ الله ، وخيرَ الهدي هديُ محمد صلى الله عليه و سلم ، وشرَّ الأمور محدثاتها ، وكل محدثةٍ بدعة ، وكل بدعة ضلالة ، وكل ضلالة في النار.
Alhamdulillah all praises are for Allah alone, Who has given us various favors and gifts, the greatest and most important are the gifts of iman, Islam and taqwa, as well as hidaayah upon the path of jihad fie sabiilillah, because it is with this favors that Allah honors the Muslims and dishonors the kafir, Allah honors His awliya' and Allah humiliates His enemies, so fortunate are those who are firm on this path and doomed are those who abandon it.
Salawat
and salam always be upon our uswah, the
esteemed Rasulullah, the Imam of the God-fearing people
and the Mujahideen, who have fulfilled the mandate and
conveyed the message. We are aware that we are his forces
who are prepared to carry his risaalah
(messages), even if our times are running out, our
treasures are drained and our lives are gone from the
bodies, for the sake of continuing his struggle. May we
all attain his shafa’at on the last day. As well
as his household and all the Sahabahs and
ummah until the end of time.
Ikhwanunaal Mujahideen Rahimakumullah……
This is a message of advice from me, a humble
slave of Allah to you all, the activists and the
Mujahideen specifically, and the Muslims generally. I am
not the 'alim (learned) person or the best
amongst us all, but this message was made by me while
being on the run (for being under the Wanted Persons List
as a form of tanashuh (mutual advice) and
tadzkirah (words of advice) for us all. May we be
able to obtain ibrah (lessons) from this message,
the truth comes from Allah and the error comes from myself
as His feeble slave and full of khilaf
(mistakes), I beg forgiveness from Allah from all the
mistakes and sins.
Allah says:
Meaning: “By time.
Verily, mankind is in loss. Except for those who have
believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other
to truth and advised each other to patience.”
(QS. Al-‘Asr; 1-3).
The Prophet said:
اَلدِّيْنُ النَّصِيْحَةُ. قُلْنَا : ِلمَنْ ؟ قَالَ : ِللهِ, وَلِكِتَابِهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وِلأَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ وَعَامَّتِهِمْ
Meaning:
"The Dien is Advice."
We asked: "For
whom?" He said:
“For Allah, His Book, His
Rasul, the leaders of the Muslimeen, and for the Muslimeen
in general”.
(HR. Bukhari, Muslim).
Ikhwan Fillah Rahimakumullah…..
Allah has commanded us to always have taqwa to
Him and die upon this taqwa.
Meaning: “O you who have
believed, fear (have taqwa to) Allah as He should be
feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to
Him].” (QS. Ali Imran; 102).
Allah has also commanded us to acquire this taqwa
by means of Jihad fie Sabiilillah, just as He
says:
Meaning: “O you who have
believed, fear Allah and seek the means [of nearness] to
Him and strive (conduct jihad) in His cause that you may
succeed.” (QS. Al-Maidah; 35).
Ikhwaanunaal Mujaahideen Rahimakumullah…..
After the fully blessed event of the WTC ‘amaliyah
istishahadiyah, the world is now divided into two
groups; first, those who join and support the policy of
America and second, those who are called terrorists (read:
Mujahideen) by America, this was as declared by George War
Bush, 6 days post the WTC event, this is a Crusade, and
arrogantly he also said; “with us or them, the
terrorists (read: Mujahideen)!!?”
Meaning: “…Hatred has
already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts
conceal is greater…”
( QS. Ali Imran; 118)
The ex-Prime Minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon
La’natullahi ‘alaihi was ever asked by the reporters
about the boundaries of the state of Israel, and with
arrogance he responded that the territorial boundary of
his country is as far as the feet of his military could
grip their nails. He dared to utter this because, one of
the beliefs of the Jews which is sourced from their
kitab (Talmud) is that the borders of the
great state of Israel is spread from the stream of the
River Nile in Egypt to the River Eupharte in Iraq, nearly
the entire middle east is claimed by them as their
territory, not just Palestine. Hence, they are exerting
every effort, collaborating with America to realize the
existence of this Great State of Israel. So, all those
talks about peace treaty and ceasefire are just bulls**t,
because what is in their minds are war in order to realize
the “holy mission” of the establishment of the great state
of Israel.
Meaning: “…they will
continue to fight you until they turn you back from your
religion, if they are able…”
( QS. Al-Baqarah; 217).
Ikhwan Fillah Rahimakumullah…….
This is the reality of the world that is happening today,
the battle between the Mujahideen and America and their
allies the puppet agents, so which side are you on?
Meaning: “Those who
believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who
disbelieve fight in the cause thaghut. So fight against
the allies of Satan. Indeed, the plot of Satan had ever
been weak.” (QS.
An-Nisaa’; 76).
Due to that, O ikhwan, let us strengthen our
convictions, reinforce our principles, unite our ranks,
don’t let ourselves be weak in confronting the enemies of
Allah, don’t let the dunya deaden our hearts and
divert us from this path of jihad, that will make us
humiliated. Know O ikhwah… Worldly materials and
luxuries (let alone the facilities from thaghut)
are things that deaden the hearts, weaken the mental of
the Mujahideen, until they become weak in confronting the
enemies’ plots, afraid to face the trials in this path and
abandon the jihad fie Sabiilillah. In fact, there
are even those who have turned into detractors of jihad
and the Mujahideen, weakening the Muslims, as well as
becoming the helpers of the enemies of Allah. Rasulullah
has said:
إذا تبايعتم بالعينة وأمسكتم بأذناب البقراني, ورضيتم بالزرع, وتركتم الجهاد سلط الله عليكم ذلا لا ينزعه حتى تراجعوا دينكم
Meaning:
“When you enter into the
‘aynah transaction (riba), hold the tails of oxen, are
content with farming, and give up jihad, Allah will cause
humiliation to prevail over you, and will not withdraw it
until you return to your commitment to Islam.”
( HR. Abu Daud. Saheeh Al Jami’ Ash Shoghir, no.
324).
Know O ikhwah….. if you are busy in business and
trade, as well as keeping yourself busy in the activities
of da’wah and tarbiyyah only, not being
courageous to plunge into the jihad arena, not practicing
the ‘ilm of askari any longer, no
i’dad anymore and never again think of how to destroy
the enemies of Allah, it is all these things that cause
our hearts to be dead, our mental weak and we become
cowards, scared to confront the enemies of Allah and other
consequences when we are istiqomah upon this way
of jihad. This is as what has been mentioned by Sheikh
Abdullah Azzam in his message of advice for the activists
of da’wah:
“… You have no value unless you are carrying your weapons on your shoulder, to beat down the thaghut and the kafir. Indeed, those who think that Islam can triumph without jihad and battle, without the shedding of bloods and shards of their flesh, really they are in haziness and not understanding the nature of this Dienul Islam, indeed, the authority of the da’wah activists, the power of da’wah and the success of the Muslims would not be realized without battles”. Rasulullah said:
وَلَيَنْزِعَنَّ اللهُ مِنْ قُلُوبِ أَعْدَاءِكُمُ الْمَهَابَةَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَيَقْذِفَنَّ اللهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمُ الْوَهْنَ قَالُوا وَمَا الْوَهْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ : حُبُّ الدُّنْيَا وَكَرَاهِيَةُ الْمَوْتِ. وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ كَرَاهِيَةُ الْقِتَالِ
Meaning: …“Allah will
take the fear of you from the breasts (hearts) of your
enemy and cast al-wahn into your hearts.” Someone
asked, “O Messenger of Allah, what is al-wahn?”
He replied, “Love of the world and dislike of death.”
In other riwaayah, "…hate of war."
(HR. Abu Daud and Ahmad from sahabah
Tsauban).
Allah says:
فَقَاتِلْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللهِ لاَ تُكَلَّفُ إِلاَّ
نَفْسَكَ وَحَرِّضِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ عَسَى اللهُ أَنْ
يَكُفَّ بَأْسَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَاللهُ أَشَدُّ
بَأْسًا وَاَشَدُّ تَنْكِيْلاً
Meaning:
“So fight in the
cause of Allah, you are nor held responsible except for
yourself. And rouse the believers [to fight] that
perhaps Allah will restrain the [military] might of those
who disbelieve. And Allah is greater in might and stronger
in punishment”.
(QS. An-Nisaa’: 84).
In other texts Sheikh Abdullah Azzam wrote:
“O you, the people who
have struggled in the arena of da’wah, O you, who have set
a great ambition, do not hesitate to present your blood
for the sake of this Dien. If you are true and sincere,
then present your blood and souls to Allah Rabbul ‘alamin
Who has entrusted it to you all and then purchased it from
you.”
Meaning: “Indeed, Allah
has purchased from the believers their lives and their
properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise.
They fight in the cause of Allah; so they kill and are
killed.” (QS. At-Tawbah; 111).
Ibnu Katsir mentioned in his tafseer that this is
a verse of bai’at from the people who have
iman to Allah, a bai’at to die fighting in
the path of Allah. This is our oath to Allah.
Commander Abu Mush’ab Al Zarqawi ever advised us, as
mentioned in his message of advice to the da’ies
and Muslim youths:
"O ulama’s of the ummah,
O da’ies, O Muslim youths…
Have taqwa to Allah,
have taqwa to Allah and pursue what all these times have
gone from you; indeed, the guarantee of safety is only
existing on the swords…
Look, the enemies of
the Shari’ah of Islam are in your midst, so attack them.
And give your aids to your ikhwans by giving as valuable
and as dear as possible from what you possess, before
history reprimands you sooner or later. Yes, before
history talks bad about you, before this ‘market’ passes
by, and the fortunate people would go bringing their
fortunes, while the losers will be losers."
A poet said:
إِذَا
كَانَتِ النُّفُوسُ كِبَارًا
تَعِبَتْ مِنْ مُرَادِهَا اْلأَجْسَامِ
If it is true that the
soul is great..
Surely the body would be at pains in fulfilling its
ambition…
كَيْفَ
الْقَرَارُ وَكَيْفَ يَهْدَأُ مُسْلِمٌ
وَالْمُسْلِمَاتُ مَعَ الْعَدُوِّ الْمُعْتَدِي
How could a Muslim remain silent, and how could a Muslim remain in peace…
While the Muslimahs are
with the cruel enemies…
May Allah bless the person who expressed the following
kalimah:
“O you people who wish to woo the angelic
maidens in heaven but do not have even a ‘dime’ of
enthusiasm, don’t you dream, don’t you dream! Gone is the
sweetness of the younger days, and what remain are only
the bitterness of regrets.”
Know O ikhwan, there are now many activists, in
fact some of them had even participated in jihad in the
lands of Jihad, the title “alumni” have
been achieved by them, but since they are preoccupied with
trade, da'wah and tarbiyah only, they
are leaving Jihad fie Sabiilillah. In fact, many
have fallen into the acts of sins and vices,
in the name of at-tahdzir
(giving stern warning, judging, convicting – etc.) they
then talk bad about their fellow Muslim brothers, by
ghibah, fitnah, accusing of Mr. A as
jasus (agents), calling Mr. B as already out of the
jama’ah and thus has to be alienated, the jihad
of Mr. So-and-so is hasty, without 'ilm and only
depending on enthusiasm, and many other negative
expressions. This has descended upon the “alumnis”, in
fact there are many amongst them who have consciously or
otherwise become the Bani Abas (subordinates of Nasir Abas),
so, what about the condition of those who have never
participated in jihad at all? Especially those from
amongst the circle of the Irja’ (salafi),
as well as those who have the aqeedah of
democracy and the likes of it such as the Sabili
group who can talk “eloquently”, it is possible that they
have never been to the lands of Jihad and to the fronts,
carrying weapons on their shoulders, shooting at the
kafirs, but then they talk a lot in discrediting the
Mujahideen and their deeds of jihad, as well as committing
at-tahdzir on them…!!
Yes akhi… they have been doing a good deed,
making efforts to conduct jihad against America and their
lackeys, the thaghut and murtadeen. They
have strove. How about us, what have we done?? Claiming to
be 'alim (learned) and more knowledgeable, and
then we talk much, whereas many from amongst us do not
know the actual occurrences (such as the Aceh Jihad and
the al-Qoidah tandzhim of Aceh), but they are
good at assessing. This is wickedness akhi, which
causes our hearts to be dead and our mental weak. Yes
akhi, they have shown it with their deeds, not merely
with much talking ….
Meaning: “And say:
'Work (righteousness): Soon will Allah observe
your work, and His Messenger, and the Believers: Soon will
you be brought back to the Knower of what is hidden and
what is open: then will He show you the truth of all that
you did.'" (QS. At-Tawbah; 105).
To the munafiq who do not want to conduct jihad,
and yet they gossip and mock the Muslimeen who are
conducting jihad, Allah explains that the proving of their
true iman is by deeds, if it is true that they
have iman, then prove it with the deed!! What
deed?? No other than Jihad fie Sabiililah, the
deed most hated by the munafiqeen, just as He
says in the clusters of verses in surah at-Tawbah
which explains the behaviors of the munafiq
people:
Meaning: "They (the
munafiq people) will make excuses when you have returned
to them. Say: 'Make no excuse – never will be
believe you (because) indeed Allah has already informed us
of your news [i.e. affair]. And Allah will observe your
deeds, and [so will] His Messenger; in the end will you be
brought back to Him Who knows what is hidden and what is
open: then will He show you the truth of all that you
did.'"
(QS. At-Tawbah; 94).
Ikhwah Fillah whom I love…..
Chase after death, surely you will be given life. Don't
you be deluded by the worldly dreams, and don't be
deceived by anything or anyone while obeying Allah. Don't
you be deceived by the news and opinions that abound,
don't you be lulled by the facilities and luxuries, and
don't you be lulled by being transfixed with tashfiyah
(purification) and tarbiyah (development) only.
Of course, a Mujahid cannot and would never belittle
da'wah and tarbiyah, but remember your
activeness are only in these areas and in other affairs
which are tranquilizing to the hearts, don't let it make
you forget the bigger and greater issues, as well as the
main obligation in raising high the kalimah of
Allah.
وتودون أن غير ذات الشوكة تكون لكم…
“..…and you wished that the
one unarmed should be the one you face…..”
(QS. Al-Anfal; 7).
Impossible O Akhi….. Today the kafir are
aiming their weapons at the Muslims, the Muslims are
fought against in various places, their honors are
disgraced and the Shari'ah of Islam are rooted
out, in fact even the country where the majority of the
people are Muslims do not have the Shari’ah of
Islam, that protects them, applied anymore, what exists is
the law of the thaghut invented by the human.
This is the true war, because of Islam, not because of
Usamah bin Laden as the foremost Qo’id in the
direct war against America and their stooges, also not
because of Al-Qoidah, Taliban and
others, but because of Islam, they are fighting Islam,
they do not want Islam and the Muslimeen to
return to glory.
Meaning: “And never will
the Jews and Christians approve of you until you follow
their religion. Say, 'Indeed the guidance of Allah
is the [only] guidance'. And indeed if you were
to follow their desires after what has come to you of
knowledge, you would have against Allah no protector or
helper.” (QS. Al-Baqarah; 120).
Meaning: “And they
ill-treated the mu'min for no other reason than that they
believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all
Praise!,” (QS. Al-Buruj; 8).
Meaning: “…and they
should be on the alert and bear arms: the unbelievers wish
that you are negligent of your arms and your logistics, to
assault you in a single rush.” (QS. An-Nisaa’;
102).
Ikhwah Fillah rahimanii wa Rahimakumullah…..
Indeed, looking for excuses to not depart for jihad with
various excuses will pollute the souls. Because, allowing
ourselves to not fighting fie sabilillah is a
derision and a joke, in fact it is making fun of the
Dien (religion) of Allah. Indeed, looking for excuses
with worldly dreams without doing i’daad
(preparing the strength) is the condition of a diminutive
spirit which does not have the enthusiasm to reach the
peak of the mountain. Don't you remember the advice of
Abdullah bin Mubaarak to his sahabah, Fudhail bin
‘Iyadh:
يَاعَابِدَ
الْحَرَمَيْنِ لَوْ أَبْصَرْتَنَا
لَعَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ بِالْعِبَادَةِ تَلْعَبُ
مَنْ كَانَ يَخْضِبُ خَدَّهُ بِدُمُوعِهِ
فَنُحُورُنَا بِدِمَائِنَا تَتَخَضَّبُ
O you people, who worship in the two
holy masjids, if you could just see us…
You'd surely understand that you, in your worship are
just doing it playfully…
If the people's cheeks are trickling with tears…
Verily, our necks are smeared with blood…
Ikhwah Fillah….. This was the
opinion of an ahlul fiqh, ahlul hadith
and at the same time a Mujahid (i.e. ‘Abdulloh bin
Mubaarak) about the people who are sitting side by side
with the Masjidil Haram, worshiping inside it,
while at the same time the sanctity of Islam was abused,
the blood of the Muslims was shed, His awliya'
were fought and imprisoned, their honors were trampled and
insulted, as well as the Dien of Allah uprooted
down to its finest roots! He regarded, “…. it
is making fun of the Dien of Allah....”
Yea Akhi….. don't you feel
satisfied for having conducted jihad in Afghanistan, Moro,
Ambon, Poso and other places, don't you feel content for
already achieving the title alumni, but now you are silent
and stepping backward. Know that this duty of Jihad is
encumbered upon us until we die, we will be in sin if we
leave it, as long as there is still shirk and
kufr, then it is wajib for us to conduct
jihad until this dien is solely for Allah.
Meaning: “And fight them until
there is no fitnah and [until] the religion [i.e.
worship], all of it, is for Allah.”
(QS. Al-Anfal; 39).
Al-Qurthubi stated in his tafseer 2/253, from
Ibnu Abbas and As-Suddi that what was meant by fitnah
in the above verse is shirk and kufr.
(also mentioned in Misbahul Munir, Mukhtashor Tafseer Ibnu
Katsir).
To the ikhwan Mujahideen
Hafidzokumullah, who have been freed
from the prisons of the thaghut………….
How are you, O ikhwah Mujahideen who have been
freed from the prisons of the thaghut? May you
all be in goodness and istiqomah. Just as Allah
says:
Meaning: “Indeed those who said,
'Our Lord is Allah' and then remained on
a right course – the angels will descend upon them,
[saying], 'Do not fear and do not grieve but
receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised'”.
(QS. Fussilat: 30).
In explaining this verse Sheikhul Islam, Ibnu Taimiyyah
said regarding istiqomah:
اِسْتَقَامُوا عَلىَ مَحَبَّةِ اللهِ وَعَلَى عِبَادَتِهِ وَلاَ يَلْتَفِتُوا مِنْهُ يَمِيْنَةً وَلاَ يَسْرَةً
“Firm
(persevering) upon the love for Allah and upon the ibaadah
towards Him, and no turning of the head (diverting) left
and right”.
That is the reality of the true Istiqomah. May we
all remain istiqomah on this path of fie
sabilillah, even though we have been imprisoned and
experiencing various forms torture from the thaghut.
The prison is not the end from our ibaadah of
fie sabillah, but the prison is the starting point to
take another step in the journey fie sabilillah
for the sake of reaching one of the two goodness
“Victory or Shaheed”. Because, it is by this that
Allah differentiates those who are true and those who are
false in their iman.
Just as Allah says:
Meaning: “Do men think that they
will be left alone on saying, 'We believe',
and that they will not be tested? We did test those before
them, and Allah will certainly know those who are true
from those who are false.”
(QS. Al-Ankabut: 2-3)
And Allah says:
Meaning: “Did you think
that you would enter Heaven without Allah testing those of
you who fought hard (In His Cause) and remained
steadfast?” (QS. Ali Imran: 142).
And Allah says:
Meaning: “Or do you think
that you shall enter the Garden (of bliss) without such
(trials) as came to those who passed away before you? they
encountered suffering and adversity, and were so shaken in
spirit that even the Messenger and those of faith who were
with him cried: 'When (will come) the help of
Allah?' Ah! Verily, the help of Allah is (always)
near!” (QS. Al
Baqarah; 214).
Therefore, if we stop from this path fie
Sabilillah after we get out of prison, then it is the
same as stopping in the journey towards Jannah.
Isn't it that way akhi?
Ikhwah fillah whom I love…
We have together felt the bitterness of the lives under
the stranglehold of the thaghut, we have together
felt the pains of being tortured by the thaghut,
and we have together undergone the tense atmosphere when
under interrogation by the thaghut, we have
together experienced the stale and constrictive lives
inside the cells with iron bars of the thaghut.
In fact, until now there are a lot of our ikhwans
who are still tested by these prisons. We have together
felt the oppression, fear and in fact almost murtad
from this Dien because of the unbearable trials.
True… I myself have felt that these trials are unbearably
burdensome and painful. That sometimes it made our hearts
weak and weary. Not to mention the families left behind,
these trials are getting more intense. After we were
released from the prison we had stumbled upon other
trials; economic problems, being shunned by other
ikhwans, considered as already unclean and could no
longer be trusted, as well as many other trials. But
akhi, must we stop from this path??! And it
is real that there are some of our ikhwans who,
after being released from the prisons, are becoming the “antho”
(ansar thaghut) and Bani Abas (subordinates of
Nasir Abas, the turncoat). Must we be like them
akhi??! Must we stop from this path of Jihad
fie Sabiilillah?? NO akhi, be istiqomah!
The journey we have trodden is already thus far, there
have been a lot of deeds we have performed. Do you still
remember when we were doing the activities together in the
jihad fronts of Ambon, Poso and other places? Do you still
remember when we wandered blindly across the sea and were
exhausted over the mountains in order to face death? Do
you still remember when we were together devising
strategies to destroy the Obet and Sundalaw headquarters?
Honest akhi, I cried when I am writing this down,
remembering the memory of our past in the Jihad land. The
journey that we have traveled is already long, such
beautiful is the story of our Jihad. Istiqomah O
akhi! Don't let ourselves stop from this path and
return backwards, don't let our deeds be erased because of
the factors of worldly materials, don't let our
aqeedah be pawned, don't let our tawheed be
corrupted akhi!
Meaning: "And verily it
has been revealed to you and those [prophets] before you
that if you ascribe partner to Allah [shirk], all your
works shall most certainly have been in vain: you shall
most certainly be among the lost."
( QS. Az-Zummar; 65).
From Cipinang not long ago, in a study via HP, Ustadz
Mukhlas had advised by citing the conclusion taken from
the advice of Sheikh Al-Maqdisi hafidzohullah:
“The imprisoned people would be formed to become three
groups:
First: The people who remain
istiqomah and their iman are getting stronger by the
trials. They would continue the jihad fie sabilillah
after they have been released.
Second: The people who are 'futur'
(lame/dispirited) to conduct jihad again. As they fear
that the trials would happen to them again.
Third: The people who are murtad for
becoming the Ansarut thaghut (Agents of thaghut) and
turning hostile towards jihad and the Mujahideen.
Wallahu a’lam bis sowab, we are in which group?
The one who knows the answer after Allah is us. Isn't it
that way akhi? May we be amongst the first group.
Amin Ya Robbal’alamin.
Ikhwan Fillah Rahimakumullah……
Abu Bakar As-Siddiq ever advised:
اُطْلُبُوا الْمَوْتَ تُوْهَبْ لَكَ الْحَيَاةُ
“Seek death! Surely, you
would find life”.
Death is something that is sure to come, we do not know
when death will approach us, death is lurking every
second. Due to that, prepare the provisions, don't let
death come to us while we are committing sins to Allah,
Na’udzu Billah min dzalika. It is not death that
we fear, but we fear that we die in the state of
disobedience to Allah and His Rasul, in the state when the
aqeedah is corrupted, and in the state when we
are abandoning Jihad fie Sabiililah, as well as
deflating Jihad and the Mujahideen. That is the death of
su’ul khatimah, be careful akhi, don't let
ourselves fall into it. We are hoping to die in Husnul
khatimah, to die as Shaheed, until we could
get, insha Allah, what Allah and His Rasul have
promised. Allah says:
Meaning: “And never think
of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as
dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving
rizq (provision), rejoicing in what Allah has bestowed
upon them of His bounty, and they receive good tidings
about those [to be martyred] after them who have not yet
joined them – that there will be no fear concerning them,
nor will they grieve.” (QS. Ali Imran :
169-171).
Rasulullah said:
إِنَّ لِلشَّهِيْدِ عِنْدَ اللهِ سِتَّ خِصَالٍ : أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لَهُ فِي أَوَّلِ دَفْعَةٍ مِنْ دَمِّهِ, وَيُرَى مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ, وَيُحَلَّى حُلَّةَ اْلإِيْمَانِ, وَيُزَوَّجُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِيْنِ, وَيُجَارُ مِنْ عَذَابِ اْلقَبْرِ, وَيَأْمَنُ مِن الْفَزَعِ اْلأَكْبَرِ, وَيُوضَعُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ تَاجُ الْوَقَارِ اَلْيَاقُوتَةُ مِنْهُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فيها, وَيُزَوَّجُ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِيْنَ زَوْجَةً مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِيْنِ, وَيُشَفَّعُ فِي سَبْعِيْنَ إِنْسَانًا مِنْ أَقَارِبِهِ
Meaning:
“The Shaheed is granted seven
special favors from Allah. He is forgiven (his sins) at
the first drop of his blood. He sees his place in
Paradise. He is dressed in the clothes of Iman. He is
married to the Hoor al-‘Ain (beautiful women of Paradise).
He is saved from the punishment of the grave. He will be
protected from the great fear of the Day of Judgement. A
crown of honour will be placed on his head, one jewel of
which is better than the whole world and what it contains.
He is married to seventy-two of the Hoor al-‘Ain
(beautiful women of Paradise), and he will be able to
intercede for seventy members of his family.”
[Saheeh – Related by Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn
Hibbaan]
Rasulullah himself wanted to be killed a number of times
in the path of Allah:
وَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنْ أُقْتَلَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللهِ ثُمَّ أُحْيَا ثُمَّ أُقْتَلُ ثُمَّ أُحْيَا ثُمَّ أُقْتَلُ
Meaning:
“Verily, I am truly wishing
if I could be killed in the cause of Allah, then I should
be brought back to life again, then get killed again, and
then brought back to life, and then get killed again.”
(Muttafaqun’alaih).
In Saheeh Bukhari Muslim from Anas bin Malik he
said: When Harom bin Milhan was stabbed during the
incident of Bi’ru Ma‘unah –Harom was the uncle of Anas—,
he smeared the blood on his face and head while uttering:
“Fuztu wa robbil Ka‘bah…!” (By the Lord the Owner
of Ka‘bah, I have won).
Try to reflect on it akhi, how could someone who
saw death in front of his eyes swore that he had won, if
not because of having smelt the fragrance of paradise?
Ikhwan Fillah whom I love…… It
is not possible for us to achieve these favors without the
deed of Jihad fie Sabiilillah, it is not possible
for us to achieve victory without being killed in the path
of Allah, it is impossible for Allah to give the rizq
of being a Shuhada' if we are only sitting
around. This was the advice of Khalid Al-Islambuli before
he was executed to death:
كَثِيْرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَتَّخِذُ الْحَيَاةَ طَرِيْقًا إِلَى الْمَوْتِ وَأَنَا اخْتَرْتُ الْمَوْتَ طَرِيْقًا إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ
“Most of mankind make life as a way
towards death. While, I make death as a way towards life”.
May Allah have mercy on Ibnu Hazm when he said:
My ambition in the world is to
spread 'ilm
I spread it in every valley and village
Calling towards Al-Quran and sunnah
Which the people purposely forget in khutbahs
And I compel myself to become a Mujahid at the border
of the enemies
When the ominous voices approach, I am the first one
to come
To greet death in the state of persistently advancing
Using long pegs and deadly hammers
In confrontation with the kafir in the battle arena
The noblest death for a youth is to be killed by the
kafir
My Lord, don't let me die except in this way
And don't make me one who inhabits the pit of the
grave
That was Ibnu Hazm .…………
Mentioned in a poem:
تَرْجُوا النَّجَاةَ وَلَمْ تَسْلُكْ مَسَالِكَهَا إِنَّ السَّفِيْنَةَ لاَ تَجْرِي عَلَى الْيَبَسِ
“You want success, but you do not want to traverse the journey. (Know) that the ship would not be sailing over the sand”. (Inserted in Shu’abul Iman by Imam al-Bayhaqi).
تعددت
الاسباب والموت واحد
من لم يمت بالسيف مات بغيره
“So diverse are the
reasons, but death is something that is certain to come
by...
Whoever does not die because of the swords...
Then he will die as well due to other reasons.”
The moment he was about to be killed by the kafir
Quraish, Sahabah Khubaib bin ‘Adi recited:
وَلَسْتُ
أُبَالِي حِيْنَ أُقْتَلُ مُسْلِمًا عَلَى أَيِّ جَنْبٍ
كَانَ فِي اللهِ مَصْرَعِيْ
وَذَلِكَ فِيْ ذَاتِ اْلإِلَهِ وَإِنْ يَشَأْ يُبَارِكْ
عَلَى أَوْصَالِ شِلْوٍ مُمَزَّعِ
“I
do not care the moment I was killed as a Muslim
In whatever position,
verily, I die because of Allah
For Allah, if He wills
He will bless every separated body part.”
Ikhwan Fillah Rahimakumullah………
Indeed, the reality of victory is being firm upon
principles, even though the body has to be imprisoned, and
even though the body has to be penetrated with hot lead
bullets. Let the body be shattered bloodily and covered
with earth, as long as the heart is still firm upon
principles. And those principles are summarized in the
words of wisdom “LIVE HONORABLY or DIE SHAHEED”.
These were the Jihad practices of our predecessors, the
examples in practices and sacrifices, given to our current
generation. They had given till the last drop of their
blood for the establishment of the kalimah of
Allah, to attain two goodness i.e. victory or shaheed
in His path.
May we all be able to follow in the footsteps of our
predecessors and may Allah gather us together with them in
His Jannah. We also beg Allah to help the
Mujahideen in all places, accept the Shuhada's
who had fallen in His path, elevating their status in
paradise, free the captives and oppressed, look after the
wounded, heal those who are sick, bestow their families
with all tranquilities, and give them the rewards that
they deserve. He is the One, the All-Hearing and the
Infinite Giver. Our last do'a is that all praises
be for Allah, the Creator. Amin Yaa mujiibas saa’iliin.

“O Allah, forgive the mu'mineen and mu'minat, the muslimeen and muslimat, unite their hearts, make them triumphant over Your enemies and their enemies, give to them guidance toward the routes of safety, and remove them from darkness towards light, and keep them away from evil conducts, be it internally or externally, and bless their hearings and sights while You are giving them lives, and make them as those who are grateful for Your blessings, praising You because of those blessings, and receiving those blessings, and complete those blessings to them O Lord of all the worlds. O Allah give victory to Your Book, Your Dien and Your believing slaves, and make the guidance and dienul haqq (the true religion) that You sends through our Prophet Muhammad SAW triumphant over all other dein. O Allah punish the kafir and the munafiq who obstruct in Your path and change Your dien, and are hostile towards the believers. O Allah divide their alliance, cause their hearts to be in dispute, and cause destruction on their efforts, and send down disasters on them. O Allah send down Your punishment where none of the evil people could resist. O Allah, Who moves the clouds, Who sends down the Book, Who destroys the confederate forces, destroy them and tremble them, and make us victorious over them. O our Lord, help us and don't You help the people who are fighting us, give victory to us and don't let those who are against us victorious over us, and give guidance to us, and ease it us for us to obtain guidance, and make us triumphant over the people who are oppressive towards us. O our Lord, make us as the people who are grateful, obedient, submissive, who make do'a and repent to You excessively. O our Lord, accept our repentance, purge our sins, strengthen our hujjah, give guidance to our hearts, straighten our tongues and get rid of the bitterness that are in our breasts.”
