A
transcript of Al-Sheikh Al-Mujahid Abu Hamza Al-Muhajer, Ameer of Al-Qaida
in Mesopotamia, voice message entitled
“O’ Come to a just word”
In The name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
Praise be to Allah, Lord of power and rule, deemed far above tyranny, the
one and eternal, the one who heareth each plea, the one who removes the
distress and scourge.
And Peace and blessings of Allah be upon the one whom was sent with the
obvious signs, unquestionable sense, a bearer of glad tidings, and a warner
and as the one who invites to Allah’s grace by his leave and as a lamp
spreading light.
Here after..
In observance of Ramadan, the blessed month of Jihad and Martyrdom, I
felicitate the Islamic nation in general, and Al-Mujahideen on the
frontlines in particular. I pray to Allah for it (Ramadan) to be that of
height, victory and empowerment to our Ummah (Islamic nation).
My first message:
First, I
would like to address the chosen people of Allah (godly people), whom he
commended in his precious book and honored by associating them with his
Almighty name and that of his angles. Allah, The Exalted in Might, sayth:
ُ
“There is no god but He: That is the witness of Allah, His angels, and those
endued with knowledge, standing firm on justice. There is no god but He, the
Exalted in Power, the Wise.” 003.018
To those who were endued with knowledge and who fear Allah, Allah sayth:
“Those truly fear Allah, among his servants, who have knowledge” 35.28
To those whom Allah have selected to guard in the book in the hearts, Allah
sayth:
“Nay, here are Signs self-evident in the hearts of those endowed with
knowledge: and none but the unjust reject Our Signs.” 029.049
To those who stand guard the goodness of our Ummah (by meeting the condition
mentioned in verse), Allah, The Exalted in Might, sayth:
“Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right,
forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah.” 003.110
To those who got their share of the legacy of the prophet Mohammed, peace
and blessings be upon him.
To those whom were ordered to lay out charity and to enlighten, solidify and
unite people, Allah sayth:
“If ye differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allah and His
Messenger, if ye do believe in Allah and the Last Day: That is best, and
most suitable for final determination.” 004.059
To those whom Allah set an example of to be the first to answer to the call
of Jihad, Allah sayth:
“How many of the prophets fought (in Allah’s way), and with them (fought)
Large bands of godly men? but they never lost heart if they met with
disaster in Allah’s way, nor did they weaken (in will) nor give in. And
Allah Loves those who are firm and steadfast.” 003.146
Ibn Abbas and Al-Hasan, scholars, said: “Where are you from the fighting and
killing (the aggressors) in the name of Allah?” Needless to say that the
scholars’ main task is to guide people in good times and in times of
distress, Allah, The Exalted in Might, sayth:
“All that they said was: “Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and anything We may
have done that transgressed our duty: Establish our feet firmly, and help us
against those that resist Faith.” 003.147
O’ Our respected scholars, your sincere role and the character of your work
should stem from the covenant Allah has taken on you, Allah, The Exalted in
Might, sayth:
“And remember Allah took a covenant from the People of the Book, to make it
known and clear to mankind, and not to hide it” 003.187
Fellow scholars, today we are faced with issues relating to our survival and
honor that otherwise (in previous times), would have challenged the great
four imams. A fatwa is urgently needed in such issues. Caliphate Omar Al-Farouq
was the voice of the truth (the articulate) according to the prophet, peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him, yet he feared that his judgments were
wrong. If this is the case with Omar, what would an ordinary Muslim (layman)
refer to in times (nowadays) where ignorance prevails?
O’ Our honored scholars,
O’ dignified masters,
Hear us well.
We are coming.
We are victorious.
We are victorious.
And may be it will be quite soon.
And may be it will be quite soon.
And perhaps in the lives of many of you, and then, we will never abandon
you, for you are our fathers and brothers (our lifeblood), the pride of our
Ummah (nation), glory of our religion and the heirs of the Prophet.
If you are to give up on us, we shall not. And if you elect to desert us, we
shall follow your footsteps and cling to you because you are the source of
enlightenment and guidance.
If any of you are to stumble on or slips to lust or a suspicion, we shall
hold our tongues and guard his honor unless in doing so would guide others
(assumed misinterpretation) to wrongdoings.
We are not a stray gang and we are not people of a craze nor are we
advocates of such.
We are men, who have witnessed the humiliation of our religion (rolling
snowball) as a sweeping flood descending our nation forth to the abyss of
ignorance.
With our skulls and bones (sacrifice), we have walled off (fortified -
protected) your honor and religion. Today, we are witnessing the
(fortification) growing stronger and firmer in the face of infidels’ waves
(attacks) smashing to diminishment.
And then (when we have secured all that), we are back to settle in the land
the tree of Islam (empowerment) and to nurture it to fruitfulness. We shall
then say to you, take it (fruitfulness) and enjoy it with right good cheer.
The birds of evil are circling above the lands and we are afraid that they
might snatch off our struggle and toil.
Our stream of blood (sacrifice) in Iraq is great, more than 4,000 Muhajireen
(forsaking) and many more (quadruple) of Ansar (providers/supporters) of
goodness and blessings
Our Dear scholars,
Today, we
are at a crossroads and we ask you to assume responsibility (take the
Trust).
Don’t fail us. By Allah, don’t fail us because we need you. We promise you
no security (safety) but a Jihad (we promise you) for the sake of Allah and
(we promise you that our manners) to be at the limits Allah has set for us.
We have nothing more precious than our blood, we lay down at will so for the
ship of Islam to continue sailing (empowerment of Islam). We ask you to
guide us and enlighten our way and to take control of it (ship) according to
The Holy Quran and the tradition of our prophet, peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him. If you are to decline taking control, then you are not to
blame us if we are to answer to the present challenge and take control of it
and move on to our establishment in land.
Dear true scholars, let’s arguably assume that Al-Azhar sheikh and Mufti of
Hijaz are the ones instructing Al-Mujahideen and that the Mufti of Al-Sham
is serving as an error check, would you think our nation would be better
off? (Sarcasm that those mentioned have not done a real tangible work to
protect Ummah).
Oh revered scholars, leadership should be spearheaded (undertaken) by an
individual of correct perception and knowledge, and that is what Allah has
endued on you, scholars.
A good, cohesive and strong society is the one in which scholars prevail and
in which individuals know their rights and duties.
“When there comes to them some matter touching (Public) safety or fear, they
divulge it. If they had only referred it to the Messenger, or to those
charged with authority among them, the proper investigators would have
Tested it from them (direct).” 004.083
I seize this instance to remind you of the blind sheikh Omar Abdurrahman. He
is detained in the US and being subjected to various physical and
psychological torture for no reason but because he rejected Evil and
believed in the oneness of Allah.
To him, I
say, have no fear, and verily, with every difficulty there is a relief. Dear
beloved sheikh, those who stand firm on the covenant are plenty. Your loyal
sons are still with you and as you have left them, unchanged, but have
become more certain and insightful of Evil Have no grieve for those who were
retreated in defeat, may Allah forgive them for some of their (past and
present other) good work, he (Allah) is the most merciful.
I also appeal to all free Mujahideen in the land of two rivers to work hard
in this holy month for the sake of Allah. May Allah grant us the opportunity
to capture some of the Roman dogs (crusaders) so to serve as an exchange
prisoners to set free our sheikh and save him from the darkness of prison;
as a confirmation of our allegiance, loyalty and love (to him).
My second message:
And my
second message is to those who sacrificed so much, and endured the agony,
which only Allah knows what. And also to tribal sheikhs (chiefs) who have
stood with us, privately and publicly, and provided us with money and men. I
say: May Almighty Allah reward and requite thee for us with all good. You
are people of generosity, courage and daring. If one is to take oath that
you are most revered people on earth, one would not perjure. There will be a
day, dear revered sheiks (chiefs), that we shall carry you on our shoulders
and heads (glorify) and call upon people:
Thee are our pride (fathers). Bring forth like thee men.
And for those traitors who stood alongside with and became the spying eyes
and mouthpieces of the occupiers and their aides, and who have betrayed
their land, people and beliefs, and who ended up in despair in military
bases and some have fled the land leaving behind their families and
properties, imprecated by Allah and cursed by their people, to those I would
like to say:
In this holy month of Ramadan, the month of the amnesty and pardon. Today we
declare a general amnesty.
For each of you, we have waived our right to avenge for our blood that was shed at your hands (as a consequence of your treason). Our hands reach out to you in forgiveness and our arms are stretched out in welcome to you, again… so come back… do come back once again… to your land, people and your religion… we grant you safety as long as you repent before you fall into our grip and on the following conditions
- That you announce your sincere repentance before a gathering of your tribe and to inform us (by a mean) of you repentance for the fear of error and slippage on our part.
- And that
you work hand by hand with your bothers, Al-Mujahideen, so we can liberate
our land and enjoy peace again.
The duration of this amnesty is the month of Ramadan and will expire at the
end of it.
May Allah be our witness that we are honest and sincere (in our reach out to
you)… with love.
My third message:
And my
last message is to the people of distinctive competencies, and highly
experienced scientists in all fields and disciplines, chemistry, physics,
management and electronics, information… etc. and in particular nuclear
scientists and explosives specialists. We say to you, we are in dire need
for your experience. The battlefields of Jihad will satisfy your ambitions…
American bases serve as the best test fields for your non-traditional bombs…
such as germ warfare and the so called dirty-bombs.
In the end and with pleasure I am announcing the launch of a new military
campaign, Al-Fateh Al-Mobien (Operation Manifest Victory).
With it, we shall eradicate the infidels, apostates and the hypocrites with
the help of Allah, the Exalted in Might, The Wise.
“And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among
mankind know it not.” 012.021
