O Allah!
Revealer of the Book!
Swift in Accounting!
Disperser of the clouds!
Defeat
these confederates!
O Allah! Defeat and shake them!
I seek
refuge in Allāh from Shaytān, the accursed.
“Indeed,
Allāh has purchased from the believers their lives and their
properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise.
They fight in the Cause of Allāh, so they kill and are killed.
[It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the
Gospel and the Qur’ān. And who is truer to his covenant than
Allāh? So rejoice in your transaction which you have
contracted (with Him). And it is that which is the supreme
attainment.”
[Surah at-Tawbah 9:111]
[
Shaykh Usama bin Ladin
(حفظه
الله) ]
The final
of Prophets and Apostles ﷺ has wished for this status. So be
aware of and do not forget about this status. He, who is the
most supreme of all creation, wished for this level: the
desire to be a martyr.
He said,
“By Him in Whose Hands Muhammad ﷺ’s life is! It is more
beloved to me to be martyred in fighting Allāh's Cause and
then fight and then get martyred, and then fight and then get
martyred.”
So, the
gain of this spacious life for him – upon whom revelation
descended from the Lord, the Most Glorious and Exalted, of
Heavens and the Earth – was explained very briefly, that he
himself was a desirer of this lofty status. So, fortunate is
he whom Allāh blesses with the status of martyrdom.
[
Shaykh Abdullah Azzam
(رحمه
الله)]
“Our
words are like the flames of a candle, which finally
extinguishes; and until we die on our Deen (for these words),
they are given life and start to live among us.”
Death has
to arrive once in life
Then
why should it not end on martyrdom?
When
a martyr’s soul soars
Allāh exalts it with the loftiest ranks
In
the hearts of birds, encircling the bases of Paradises
Flying over the alleys, singing and warbling
Those seven rewards by which a martyr will be esteemed
If
you can tell, then say what are those rewards?
With
the falling of the first drop of blood, all sins will be
forgiven
And
the abode in Paradise will be shown beforehand
He
will be safe and secure from the torments of the grave
And
how delightful the deliverance will be from the severity of
the Hereafter!
He
will be crowned with a crown of dignity and prestige
He
will be the cause for the intercession of 70 relatives, both
near and distant
Houris will fondly long for his arrival
[
Shaykh Mustafa Abu al-Yazid
(رحمه

These are
those martyrs of ours who drank from the goblet of martyrdom
in the blessed land of Afghanistan. That land of Afghanistan
which is a region of Jihād, Ribāt, and preparedness. It is a
madrassa of gallantry and self-restraint, and a land of
martyrdom. They departed with such a delight and glad tidings
that every one of them had belief that he was treading towards
prosperity, freedom, Pleasure of Rabb, and acquisition of
rewards. They perceived this path’s arduous distances and
ferocity as buoyant and despite the delay in Nusrah, they held
firmly to the clasp of sabr.
I, and
many of my brothers, evidently observed in them the emblems of
martyrs and attributes of saintly people. Their attributes of
abstinence, belief, mirth, enthusiasm in service to their
brothers, truthfulness in covenants, and firmness in plans are
especially notable. They embodied themselves in intense labor,
coherent endeavors, and unshaken temperament and upheld their
lofty aims. In both training centers and battlefields – such
an excellent army and such excellent Mujāhideen! The world
leaped at them with its entire pomp and show but they smoothly
evaded its deception, because they knew that what lied with
Allāh is much better and perpetual. We consider them to be so,
and Allāh is our Accounter.
[
Narrator

In an age when hearts are
satisfied on dunya and its blessings, are fond of its
equipment, and are deceived by its apparent luster and
glittering, some lively ones saw the elevated banners of Jihād,
heeded the call, and began their march. They deserted the
splendor of this fitnah-rousing dunya and joined the
battalions of faith and devotion; such battalions whose
resolve was not shattered even by the darkness of ominous
nights and who clearly refused to bend over to the ferocious
enemy: battalions that understood that the rewards that lied
with Allāh are much better and everlasting. They tied their
hopes with the saying of Allāh, the Most Glorious, that:
“O you who
believe! Shall I guide you to a transaction that will save you
from a painful punishment? [It is that] you believe in Allāh
and His Messenger and strive in the Cause of Allāh with your
wealth and your lives. That is best for you, if you should
know. (If you do this,) He will forgive for you your sins and
admit you to Gardens beneath which rivers flow and pleasant
dwellings in Gardens of Eternity. That is the great
attainment. And [you will obtain] another [favor] that you
love – Help from Allāh and a speedy Victory; so give good
tidings to the believers.”[Surah
aş-Şaf 61: 10-13]
On 21st
of Shawwal, 1427H, this crowd of stars from amongst the
Ummah’s men reached al-Qaida’s center. Their tribes were
distinct but everyone treaded towards a single objective. On
the foot of the mountains, they held the reins of their horses
and the series of training began. With it, a new life
commenced with the desire to sacrifice the humble life,
abounded in faith, in Allāh’s path.
“And
prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of
steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allāh and
your enemy.” [Surah al-‘Anfāl 8:
60]
These
young men started physical and military preparations, obtained
training in methods to use weapons, and of various logistics
of Qitāl.
Hasten..hasten..and hurry up, you the companions!
It’s
Allah has opened the door;
The
door of Paradise and in my soul
The
melody of the charming hope.
March forth in the way and never be humiliated
Ignore the subservient and the doubtful
And
put aside the worldly life and dedicate yourself
To
the religion of Allah the One accepting repentance
From the
trenches of the Mujāhideen, as a chronicle of heroic
victories, this is a message from a few sons of this Ummāh to
their precious Ummāh.

O mother,
forgive me
Forgive the slips of my prolonged life
My
purpose is not to bring suffering to you
O
mother, (who is) dearer to me than my life!
But
what can I do? Paradises are calling me
They
are summoning me
But
what can I do? Paradises are calling me
They
are summoning me
O
mother, forgive me
Do
not say that I have done injustice to you
And
how can I do injustice to that person
Who
looked after me in this world
And
why would I cause you to be tearful
When
you are dearer to me than life
You
are my heart’s delight
You
are dearer to me than life
You
are my heart’s delight
You
are dearer to me than every wish
So
dearer that it cannot be explained in words
If
you were to know the condition of the Ummāh
Then
I have belief that you wouldn’t be displeased with me
If
you were to know the condition of the Ummāh
Then
I have belief that you wouldn’t be displeased with me
O
mother! After me, have patience and do not weep
And
even if tears emerge, do not be displeased with me
I
have sold my life to my Rabb
Allāh has already purchased the lives of the believers
Allāh has already purchased the lives of the believers
Muslims have embraced disgrace on the name of peace
And
the Arabs are sleeping in negligence
Mother! Look! A little child is buried under the heap of
debris
While his injured mother is calling out for a helper
While his injured mother is calling out for a helper
I
cannot live with this life of disgrace
After seeing my sister being disgraced on the hand of
accursed kāfir, I cannot live
I
desire Jannāh’s fair, beloved Houri
I do
not desire this Houri made of clay
I
desire Jannāh’s fair, beloved Houri
I do
not desire this Houri made of clay
I
desire Jannāh’s fair, beloved Houri
I do
not desire this Houri made of clay
I
desire Jannāh’s fair, beloved Houri
I do
not desire this Houri made of clay
I
desire Jannāh’s fair, beloved Houri

All
praise is due to Allāh who honored the believers, and debased
the disbelievers. And prayers and peace be upon the mercy sent
to the worlds,
and upon his
family, and companions in entirety.
As to
what follows:
By Allāh,
all of us are in the lands of Jihād. In our view, nothing is
to be acquiesced except Allāh’s Pleasure. Likewise, our
purpose is also to subdue and fight shirk, kufr, apostasy,
headstrongness, and their elements. So, those who are desirous
of knowledge and its eminence – whether they are from noble
scholars or students – we would like to say to them that
obtaining actual excellence of knowledge is impossible until
it is acted upon, or else it itself will prove to be a burden
on the day of Qiyāmah. Thus, Prophet ﷺ warned beforehand that
soon the Ummāh will forsake knowledge and Jihād. Therefore,
the advantages are great in this act of worship put forward to
Allāh. For Allāh’s sake, do not sell your Deen for this
world’s despicable commodities.
Allāh, the Most High,
says, “Some
Muslims desire the commodities of this world, but Allāh
desires [for you] the Hereafter.”
[al-‘Anfāl 8: 67]
{
Abdullah Muhammad al-Ayed
[Shu’ayb]
(رحمه
الله) }
In the
name of Allāh, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
And all
praise is due to Allāh, Lord of all the Worlds and the prayers
and peace be upon the Last of the Messengers.
As to
what follows:
All
praises belong to Allāh, who delivered us from imprisonment
and then brought us to the land of Jihād even after the
interruption of taghut (in the matter) between us and Him. By
Allāh, to this taghut, we say: By Allāh, your befriending of
Crusaders and incarcerating the Ummāh’s best people for
(carrying out) this purpose is nothing for these devotees but
(like) time passed during rest. And by Allāh, we have seen the
real face of this taghut in these prisons. And by Allāh, all
these hardships do not result in any paucity of their faith
and endurance of hearts. By Allāh, on the contrary, Allāh
willing, it will only be strengthened. To our brothers who are
still confined in prisons, we say: by Allāh, we will not be
assuaged, nor will we restfully sit, and nor will our eyes
enjoy comforts until you are freed and accompany us in Jihād
and Ribat.
Firstly,
be on guard against this taghut – who sent you to prisons and
torturing centers – for the sake of the greatest taghut –
America and Europe, who they worship besides Allāh, Mighty and
Majestic. Allāh, the Most Glorious, will surely free you from
this trial. Your only responsibility is to be patient. Indeed,
this patience will be a cause for Aid. And these deeds will
not be a cause for regret for you on the day of Standing,
you will
obtain a compensation from Allāh, by permission of Allāh,
Mighty and Majestic if you are resolute on patience and hold
good hope in Allāh, Mighty and Majestic. Therefore, be
steadfast – we will be victorious soon and if we are not
successful, then after us, more people will come forth on the
way brimming with our blood and bodies. By Allāh, for your
freedom, we will not evade sacrificing any little or big
commodity because our genuine sadness is for you, and this
will be easy for us, by the permission of Allāh, Mighty and
Majestic.

Aversion
towards the insignificant life and fear of Allāh brought me
(forth). The desire to sell this unworthy life incited me. I
weighed every thing to compare with this transaction, but I
swear by Allāh, I couldn’t find anything that carried the same
weight. O Lord! We sold our lives to You in exchange for
Paradise. Cause this blood to flow in the path of Jihād, until
I also obtain this rank of martyrdom, and elegant Houris dress
my wounds!
[

During
these moments of preparation, one day one of those who has
joined the ranks of martyrdom, Mullāh Dadullāh (may Allāh have
Mercy on him) visited these centers – and these lions of Allāh
were honored by meeting this stupendous leader – and developed
deep influences in their hearts. After the completion of
stages of preparation, they were dispersed in various areas of
Afghanistan.
Among
these groups:
The Martyrs of Zābul
They are:
Abu
Musa at-Turki – an embodiment of etiquette and modesty,
replete with the love of Jihād.
Abu
Zuha al-Kuwaiti [Mufzi Khaleef al-Azizi (رحمه الله)] – a
parable of sacrifice and devotion, who well-wished the world
and reached Afghanistan.
Aslam
al-Pakistani – a meek person, full of ethics and
tenderness.
Abu
Mu’sab at-Tamimi [Fahad Sa’ad at-Tamami (رحمه الله)] – he
was, may Allāh have mercy upon him, counted among those who
had pleasant manners and was affectionate with his brothers.
Khalid
al-Peshawari – showed, may Allāh have mercy upon him, much
affection for Jihād; his young age did not stop him from being
a calamity for the enemy.
Shu’ayb al-Harrani [Abdullāh Muhammad al-Ayed (رحمه الله)]
– a brimming orator, who warmed the brothers’ hearts with his
fervent sermons. He, may Allāh have mercy on him, endured the
hardships of imprisonment various times and then Allāh eased
the path to Afghanistan for him.
Abu
Abdullāh al-Qasimi [Sultān Mubarak (رحمه الله)] – ardent,
may Allāh have mercy upon him, for Jihād everytime; embodiment
of resolve and forbearance. He, may Allāh have mercy on him,
packed up for Somalia but could not reach it and returned to
Afghanistan.
Ja’far
at-Tajiki – a young man who had just stepped to maturity,
a model of etiquette and ethics.
Abu
Anas at-Tai’fi [Sa’eed Muhammad as-Shumrani (رحمه الله)] –
Abu-Anas at-Ta’efy. He has been trying to expel boredom within
his brethren with his sweet voice. Ascribed to his mother has
been the big role for his darting.
Abu
Bakr al-Muhājir [Munawar Saleh al-Shimri (رحمه الله)] – a
bearer of truthfulness and sincerity, as we reckon him;
belonging to the tribe of Shamr, this young man wasn’t even
able to see twenty springs of his age.
A few
moments before departing from this world, they left these
messages for those who would arrive after them:
{
Sa’eed Muhammad as-Shumrani
(رحمه

[Abu Anas]
}
I seek
refuge in Allāh from Shaytān, the accursed.
“And
when the Believers saw the Confederate forces, they said,
“This is what Allāh and His Messenger had promised us, and
Allāh and His Messenger spoke the truth.” And it increased
them only in faith and acceptance. Among the believers are men
who have been true to their covenant with Allāh [i.e. they
have gone out for Jihād, and showed not their backs to the
disbelievers], of them some have fulfilled their obligations
(i.e. have been martyred), and some of them are still waiting,
but they have never changed [i.e. they never proved
treacherous to their covenant which they concluded with Allāh]
in the least. That Allāh may reward the truthful for their
truth and punish the hypocrites if He wills or accept their
repentance. Indeed, Allāh is ever Forgiving and Merciful.”
[al-'Aĥzāb 33: 22-24]
as-Shaheed
(The Martyr)!
He
was desirous of a life of forbearance for himself
And
he embraced death in fondness of an actual life
He
was desirous of a life of forbearance for himself
And
he embraced death in fondness of an actual life
This
separation is for us, but not for the martyr
He
is alive and eternal with the Pleasure of the Lord
This
separation is for us, but not for the martyr
He
is alive and eternal with the Pleasure of the Lord
It
is as if I am standing by him, seeing (him)
Making the enemy dumbfounded in their fortresses
They
became worried: from where did he manifest?
In
what course? With which thoughts?
They
became worried: from where did he manifest?
In
what course? With which thoughts?
But
what do they know about the one of the two Victories?
What
do they know about our perpetual, everlasting Paradise?
He
advanced on you like a lion on his prey
So,
is there any among you who can stand in face of death?
He
advanced on you like a lion on his prey
So,
is there any among you who can stand in face of death?
He
leaped on you with Allāh’s Support
And
whose support is better than Allāh’s?

(رحمه

Many
years have passed since this fight between Islām and the
Cross. Warfare spitted its fire and the sons of Islām came
forth. Their names were heroism and sacrifice. Felicitations
to every martyr, to him who suffered hardships in Allāh’s
Path, to him who underwent the hardships of imprisonment, and
to every Mujāhid in the ranks of Jihād, who is a seeker of one
of the two blessings. In defense of the Ummah and in ascending
the fortresses of Islam, we have recognized the hidden and
concealed actual life in the bosom of death. The lamp of
martyrdom has kindled in the Ummāh, and it is out of the
clutches of this bigoted Crusading taghut to extinguish this
flame. When Allāh عزة و جلgave us the hukm for Jihād, then we
have no need to search anywhere else. Allāh عزة و جلhas given
us the hukm to only act: we say with full faith, keeping
belief and reliance on Allāh, that our decision is absolute
and it is our belief that Allāh will fulfill His covenant with
us and if we act upon His Orders, then He will surely bestow
upon us that reward of which He has concluded His covenant
with us, by the permission of Allāh عزة و جل.
No matter
how powerful the enemy is and how many of them gather and
assemble, and no matter how many so-called ‘Muslims’ join it
in its congregation… To the youth of the Ummāh, I say to you:
Heed the call of Allāh and His Messenger when they call you
towards that which will purify you. Allāh Himself is calling
you towards these battlefields and He honored you with aiding
His Deen, even though He is absolutely needless of any of you;
But by Allāh, if there is any honor left in you, and any good
in you then be responsive to this call. By Allāh, if you don't
march forth, He will bestow torment on you, and even though
Allāh alone is able to defend His Deen Himself, you should
become the helpers and defenders of His Deen.
[
Abu Musa at-Turki
(رحمه
الله) ]
Allāh
سبحانه وتعالىsays,
“Fight them; so
Allāh will punish them by your hands, disgrace them, give you
victory over them, satisfy the breasts of Believers, and
remove the fury in the Believers’ hearts. And Allāh turns in
forgiveness to whom He wills; and Allāh is Knowing and Wise.”
[at-Tawbah 9: 14-15]
To the
Turk Muslims, my Naseeha is: recognize the hukm of Allāh,
advance to Him, liberate from this disgraceful life before you
meet death, and do not participate in this oppression by
remaining silent. I say to you: do not lend your ears to these
hypocritical ‘scholars’ who have distracted your minds. By
Allāh, honor is only in Jihād.
By Allāh,
there’s no other way of deliverance, Oh my brothers, except
Jihād in Allāh’s Way with life and wealth.
Allāh
سبحانه وتعالى
says, “Do
you think that you will be left [as you are] while Allāh has
not yet made evident those among you who strive in Jihād [for
His Cause] and do not take other than Allāh, His Messenger and
the Believers as friends and protectors? And Allāh is
Acquainted with what you do.”
[at-Tawbah 9: 16]
O men!
Rise up and in readiness, march forth for Jihād. Do not be
included among those who sat back. Today, Jihād is
fard-al-‘ayn on every person who is not disabled. Look how the
Jews and Christians have materialized their domination on
Muslims, are interfering in their matters, and are maintaining
the worldly reins of power with deceit and cunningness.
Therefore, today’s Jihād is fard-al-‘ayn on the brave sons of
this Ummāh like it was fard on the occasion of Tabouk. And
fighting is an obligation on every sincere Muslim to
counteract wrongdoing and oppression.
The
Messenger of Allāh ﷺ
said, “The
example of Muslims, in their love for each other, and their
compassion and kindness towards each other, is that of one
body: if any limb of it were to suffer, the whole body would
respond with fever and sleeplessness.”
Today,
not a mere limb, but the entire body of Muslims is pulverized
in injuries. With the concern for the obligation of Jihād, for
freeing the prisoners, and for Ummāh’s injuries, I have come
forth for Jihād.
{
Fahad Sa’ad at-Tamami
(رحمه
الله)
[Abu Mu’sab]
}
O youth
of this Ummāh!
I swear by Allāh,
Allāh عزة و جل will surely take the account of your youth.
Where did you dispose of it? When you see the honor being
desecrated. Tell me by keeping your Lord as a Witness, that
will you consider a person who embraced death in a state of
carrying weapons, traveling for the aid of ‘la ilaha illallāh,’
dust covering his footsteps in Allāh’s Way, and patiently
suffering the hardships in His Way, and that person who is
killed in an accident – will you consider these two equal? By
Allāh, if you are killed in a mountain in Afghanistan or a
garden in Iraq, animals tear and dissect your bodies, and
vultures claw at your heads – but Allāh is pleased with you –
unlike that death in which you are glad and happy among your
relatives b
ut Allāh عزة و جلis
displeased with you, even if your funeral prayer is offered in
the Haram.
My
message is for those scholars whose tongues and pen are only
used against Jihād and the Mujāhideen while Crusaders are
protected from their tongues – to those people who, instead of
making du’aa for the Mujāhideen on their pulpits, make du’aas
against them. We say to you: O you who are against the youth
of Jihād! Abandon these false criticisms. What can you blame
of that person who is a lover of Paradises and Houris and is
inclined towards this continuing path? What can you blame of
him who sold his soul to Allāh and sought only Firdaws al-‘alā?
So, do not blame Jihād and its people, and fear this attribute
that afflicts one into hypocrisy. The person whose soul did
not incite him to war and he did not fight, indeed, he died in
a death of mischievous people.
Allāh عزة
و جل
says, “Say,
‘What you are expecting for us is nothing but one of the two
good things (martyrdom or victory). And we are expecting for
you that Allāh sends to you a punishment from Himself or at
our hands. So, wait. Indeed, we are waiting with you.’”
[at-Tawbah 9: 52]
And O
enemies of Allāh عزة و جل! We will descend, with the
permission of Allāh, upon you enemies of Allāh, as a calamity
from those places that you couldn’t imagine of. We will ambush
you, carpet your path with IED's, and perform martyrdom
operations on you, and you will find with us only that which
deforms your faces, by permission of Allāh. And our helper is
Allāh, while you have none, by permission of Allāh.

I seek
refuge in Allāh from Shaytān, the accursed.
In the
Name of Allāh, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful.
We send
prayers upon Your Noble Messenger.
As for
what follows: I seek refuge in Allāh from Shaytān, the
accursed. In the Name of Allāh, Most Beneficent, Most
Merciful.
Allāh
تعالى
says, “March
forth (in Allāh’s Way), no matter whether you are light or
heavy, and carry out Jihād in the way of Allāh with your
wealth and lives.” [at-Tawbah
9: 41]
Allāh
Almighty speaks the Truth.
Allāh, Rabb-ul-Izzah,
says in the Noble Qur’ān: O Muslims! O people of the world!
“March forth
(in Allāh’s Way), no matter whether you are light or heavy
[whether
you are sick or healthy],
and carry out Jihād in the way of Allāh with your wealth and
lives.” [at-Tawbah 9: 41]
So, march! All of the
scholars, students, young men, traders – all of them should
march forth together in Allāh’s Way. Why? If the traders will
not march and they fear a reduction in their trade, then Allāh,
Rabb-ul-Izzah, has mentioned in Surah as-Saff – and they can
see in that verse –
“O you who believe,
shall I tell you about a trade that saves you from a painful
punishment?” [as-Saf
61:10] – they will
suffer a painful doom from Him.
At the
end, I appeal and request the elders that they at least
remember us in their du’aas, and that they prepare their sons
and people of the streets and villages to march in Jihād with
the Mujāhideen in Afghanistan.

This
message is for my esteemed Muslim Ummāh:
I swear
by Allāh, if we saw felicity and comfort, it was only in the
battlefields of Jihād. We came here knowing that the message
of Islām couldn’t be spread except by the fulfillment of Jihād
feesabilillāh. Like the Prophet ﷺ
said, “The
peak of Islām is Jihād feesabilillāh.”
Likewise, he ﷺ said to Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allāh be
pleased with him):
“O Abu Sa’eed! Have
Taqwa of Allāh because it is the head of all matters and upon
you is Jihād because it is the monasticism of Islām.”
By Allāh, we cannot be at comfort and tranquility until
Allāh’s ordained Sharee’ah is established on His lands. And
how can we sit at ease, when the honor of our sisters is being
trampled upon in prisons, and our brothers are being tortured
in the confinements of apostates and disbelievers?
By Allāh,
the establishment of the Deen is not possible except by
patience and by hearing and obeying Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ,
therefore have patience and hope for rewards, and do not
forget the meeting with Allāh سبحانه وتعالى.
By
Permission of Allāh, Help of Allāh is near.
[

In the
Name of Allāh, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful.
This path
is the path of Muhammad al-Arabi ﷺ and Jihād will continue
until the Day of Resurrection. We will also, by Allāh’s hukm,
continue (walking on) this path until the Day of Resurrection.

upon you, O Ibn Ladin!
Peace be upon you, you prepared me to walk on this arduous
pathway
You
gave us an invitation of khayr
You
prepared me to walk on this arduous pathway
You
gave us an invitation of khayr
O
caller! You landed me into hardship
That
lesson which I had forgotten, you reminded me
O
life! Leave me
As I
am not your prisoner
I am
soaring at elevations, above your heights
So,
do not try to shackle my freedom
I am
in expansions like the spacious skies

When
these knights reached the battlefields of Zābul, among them
was Abu ‘Umar al-Kuwaiti, one of the mountains of the Emirate;
who, may Allāh have mercy on him, participated in battles of
Zābul and others; was a trustee of this front and was present
to receive these sons.
[
Abu ‘Umar al-Kuwaiti

I say to
the Americans and their NATO allies:
Know that
in our view, there is nothing (to be obtained) except your
corpses. Escape where you want to escape. I swear by Allāh,
even if you flee Afghanistan, we will reach your homes to
avenge the imprisonment of our sisters in Abu Ghuraib and our
brothers in Cuba. May Allāh’s curse descend upon you!
And we
say to you:
We have
sold our souls to Allāh سبحانه وتعالى, and are seekers of
sincerity, action, affirmation of promise from Him; while,
what have you presented to support your assertion? What
purpose do you seek? What will be your final abode? Hell! And
it is a very dreadful abode.
O enemies
of Allāh! We are expecting from this verse of the Most
Generous:
“And
never think of those who have been killed in Allāh’s Cause as
dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving
provision.” [ali `Imrān 3: 169]
And we
have in our hearts this hope from Allāh سبحانه وتعالى.
And to my
brothers, whether they are in Afghanistan or Iraq, I say to
them:
The mounts
of my people are not mere horses
But
they are vehicles carrying bridegrooms
Hasting to Paradise with no cargoes
To
meet the beautiful black-eyed and the valuable palaces

After
this, these lions of Allāh assembled along with their brothers
among the Mujāhideen, under the banner of Amir-ul-Mo’mineen
Mullāh Muhammad Umar (may Allāh protect him).

All
praises belong to Allāh, Lord of all the worlds. And prayers
and peace be upon the Last of the Messengers, Prophet
Muhammad, his family, and his companions upon, them also
prayers and peace. As to what follows:
We thank
Allāh عزة و جل for his countless blessings that enabled us to
ease this operation, and with Allāh Bounty, عزة و جل and His
Will, عزة و جل, we will fight these enemies, by His permission
سبحانه وتعالى. The fact is that, one or two years ago, we
could not even think to fight the enemy with such courage and
easiness. But with Allāh’s bounties and blessings, with this
small ammunition and power, we hold the capacity to awaken
earthquakes in the palaces of taghut, by permission of Allāh
عزة و جل.
Allāh عزة
و جل
said, “Among
the Believers are men who have been true to their covenant
with Allāh [have gone out for Jihād]. Among them is he who has
fulfilled his vow [gained martyrdom], and among them is he who
awaits [his chance]. And they did not alter [the terms of
their commitment to their covenants with Allāh] by any
alteration.” [ali `Imrān
3: 169]
We do not
fight them on the basis of ammunition and manpower. We fight
them with the power of ‘la ilaha illallāh.’ By Him, and there
is no god except Him, if we did not have this Kalimah of ‘la
ilaha illallāh,’ then we could never fight them. They have
aircrafts, marine fleets, submarines, but Allāh عزة و جل
helped us through this Kalimah. Therefore, my beloved, fight
these enemies by establishing the fondness to meet Allāh عزة و
جل and establishing love for martyrdom in your hearts, and
death in the way of Allāh. If you are truthful to your
covenants with Allāh عزة و جل, then meet the enemy with
steadfastness and intensity. And your hearts should be intense
against them, according to the hukm of Allāh عزة و جل. Know
that only Allāh, عزة و جل, is your Aid. There is no
alternative except one of the two Victories, whether it is
victory or martyrdom.
I ask
Allāh عزة و جل to bestow it upon us. Allāh تعالى, send your
prayers, peace and blessings upon Your Prophet Muhammad.

The
Mujāhideen have killed some apostate police. The Mujāhideen
are riding the police car captured from the enemy. The car of
the apostate is scorched.
These are
those people who showed enmity to Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ.
This is the third one. This is the fourth. This is the fifth.
This is the sixth. This is the seventh. This is the eighth.
Ninth. And this is the tenth.

Attack on the check post
located in Zābul ]
It is
7:30 in the morning. Today, three operations will be done at
one time; first one includes attacking the check posts of the
apostates.
[
Brother with camera
]
This is
that check post which, by permission of Allāh, will be
attacked. Our brothers are awaiting orders to attack. Look!
The Mujāhideen have occupied the check post. Look at the
enemies of Allāh! This operation is complete. May Allāh accept
this struggle from us!
This is
that wretched person whom Allāh has enabled us to overcome.
And by permission of Allāh, we will rest only after purifying
the earth from these enemies.
“And
Allah is Dominant over His affairs, but most men know not!”

“And
whoever emigrates for the cause of Allāh will find on the
earth many [alternative] refuge, wide and spacious.”
[an-Nisā' 4: 100]
And like
the Prophet ﷺ
said: “My
provision has been placed in the shade of my spear.”
[Saheeh al-Jaami’]
With the
Bounty of Allāh, Mujāhideen attacked the base of the apostates
and killed approximately 10 of them. And obtained these
Kalashnikovs, bags, belts, RPGs and their launchers, laptop,
and mobile phones as booty. May Allāh, the Exalted, let the
Mujāhideen embrace such a victory. These are just the
beginnings and the start of summer. The upcoming opportunity
for the Mujāhideen will be severer than this. This is the
promise that Allāh عزة و جل has kept with His slaves. May
Allāh, عزة و جل, grant such victory and blessings to us.

These
voices coming from the mountains of Afghanistan hold the
effect of descending to the hearts, by which it is connected
with Allāh, the Exalted, and belief in Him becomes firm.
{

In the
Name of Allāh, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
All
praise is due to Allāh, Lord of the Worlds and prayers and
peace be upon the Last of the Prophets and Messengers, Prophet
Muhammad, and upon his family prayers and peace.
As to
what follows:
In a
Sahih Hadeeth, the Prophet ﷺ
said: “He
who spent his life with his heart safe and sound and had
provision for one day night, is like the one who possessed
everything [treasures] in the world.”
We are in
the mountains of Afghanistan, safe and sound, with a satisfied
heart, and with the provision of day and night. I swear by
Allāh, it is as if the world has opened every of its treasure
for us. In fact, we do not have any fear that a plane will
arrive and bombard us. We will enter Jannāh in this condition
and soar there. By Allāh, we only have one wish: to see that
day when the rule and commandments of Allāh will emanate from
the East and will be adapted in the West. And if we are true
with Allāh, then Insha’Allāh, this day will surely come.

Days
passed like this until time approached for these sons to reach
the lands of Zābul and meet their Lord. The Mujāhideen were in
preparation of an operation when the Crusading enemy reached
their residence and warfare began sprouting blazes. The enemy
took help from air planes and bombarded the centers of the
Mujāhideen. Blood of these heroes absorbed in their beloved
land, whose mountains mourned on their separation. May Allāh
bestow His mercy and blessings on these martyrs and grant them
a place in His spacious Paradises.
[
Shaykh Abu Yahya al-Libi
(حفظه
الله) ]
Every
person in this world dies, except a martyr. Therefore, Allāh
has given us the news that a martyr shifts from the worldly
life to an elevated life: towards an unlimited life! A life
after which there is no death and there is no grief, nor any
hardship, nor fear. In this life, a person remains happy. He
becomes happy after meeting with Allāh, عزة و جل. This is the
reason our Prophet ﷺ whose past and present sins were forgiven
wished to depart this world from this door, meaning the door
of martyrdom for the sake of Allāh, even though our Prophet ﷺ
himself is of sublime and lofty status.
The
Prophet ﷺ
said: “By
Him in Whose Hands my life is! It is more beloved to me to be
martyred in Allāh's Cause and then come back to life and then
get martyred, and then come back to life again and then get
martyred and then come back to life again and then get
martyred.” [Bukhari &
Muslim]
This is
our Prophet ﷺ wishing to leave the world through the gate of
martyrdom.
The
Prophet ﷺ
stated, and this has been stated in a Saheeh Hadith:
“To be martyred in
the Path of Allāh is more beloved to me than that people of
cities and villages belong to me.”
[Ahmad]
Meaning,
rather than the Bedouin and the people of the cities belong to
him, he ﷺ prefers to be killed for the sake of Allāh.
Thus,
Allāh سبحانه وتعالى showed a human being the pathway through a
door by which he leaves the world and enters the Hereafter
into the companionship of Allāh عزة و جل. He leaves to such an
eternal provision of Allāh سبحانه وتعالى that it never
finishes; he steps to such a perpetual felicity in which there
is no hardship, no fear, and no grief. Instead, he steps into
the pleasure, joy, and delight descending from the bounties of
Allāh
سبحانه وتعالى.
Keep your
brothers, Mujāhideen and Muslims, in your prayers.
