[ The Winds of Paradise ] Part II

Dedication

As-Sahab Media

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 الله) ]

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.

{ Fahad Sa’ad al-Tamami [Abu Mu’sab] (رحمه الله) }

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

{ Sultan Mubarak [Abu Abdullah] (رحمه الله) }

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.

{ Fahad Sa’ad at-Tamami [Abu Mu’sab] (رحمه الله) }

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!

[ Narrator ]

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 الله) [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?

{ Abdullāh Muhammad al-Ayed (رحمه الله) [Shu’ayb] }

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.

[ Aslam al-Pakistani (رحمه الله) ]

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.

{ Munawar Saleh al-Shimri (رحمه الله) [Abu Bakr] }

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.

[ Khalid al-Peshawari (رحمه الله) ]

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.

[ Narrator ]

When time for departure came, these sons said a final goodbye to their brothers and went out in search for a mighty reward from Allāh.

[ Mujāhideen on their way to Zābul ]

Zābul, your land will always be free
Because you are a land of the people of Islām
Zābul, your land will always be free
Because you are a land of the people of Islām

We are like lions in war
And falcons elevated in the expansions of sky
The backs of horses are like our mothers’ cradles
Upon it we learnt the lesson of self respect
We are knights; horse’s back is our sedative
On the call of the caller, we came out for Jihād
We are knights; horse’s back is our sedative
On the call of the caller, we came out for Jihād
On the call of the caller, we came out for Jihād

[ Narrator ]

Those anticipated moments finally came. The hidden feelings inside the hearts awakened. And the drowned souls in the sea of fondness soared towards Zābul.

[ Mujāhid ]

By Allāh, these are those moments that we anticipated for for a long time. We also made du’aas to Allāh for all of us gather together. O Allāh, we thank you.

[ Brother with the camera ]

This is from Allāh’s bounties. Right now, we are on way, by permission of Allāh, to Zābul. These are the caravans of the Mujāhideen.

Peace be 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

[ Narrator ]

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 (رحمه الله) ]

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

[ Narrator ]

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).

{ Fahad Sa’ad at-Tamami (رحمه الله) [Abu Mu’sab] }

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.

Look! The smoke is clearly visible on the destroyed Hummer vehicles.

[ The ambush of Mujāhideen on the apostates’ forces in Zābul ]

[ Brother with camera ]

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.

[ The ambush of Mujāhideen on the American forces in Zābul ]

[ 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!” [Yūsuf 12: 21]

{ Abdullah Muhammad al-Ayed (رحمه الله) [Shu’ayb] }

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.

[ Narrator ]

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.

{ Abdullah Muhammad al-Ayed (رحمه الله) [Shu’ayb] }

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.

[ Final meeting of martyrs before the operation ]

Look!
The time for separation soon came!
Tears from the eyes are inadvertently flowing
Look!
The time for separation soon came!
Tears from the eyes are inadvertently flowing
Only your memory remains in my heart
By whose ardor, my chest is being incensed
Look!
The time for separation soon came!
Tears from the eyes are inadvertently flowing
Only your memory remains in my heart
By whose ardor, my chest is being incensed

What if we weren’t able to unite in the world today?
What if death intervened between us?
We will be united in an eternal life tomorrow
Where the mutual lovers will be gathered
So goodbye, O you who wished farewell to life!
O you who escaped from the deceit of the world!

[ Narrator ]

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.
