"Declaration of War against the Americans
Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places."
Osama bin Laden's Fatwa (August,
1996)
The following document is a "fatwa"
issued by Osama bin Laden in August of 1996. A fatwa is
normally an opinion issued by an Islamic cleric. Fatwas
normally deal with issues of Islamic law (Sharia). This
fatwa is unique in that bin Laden is not a Muslim cleric,
and this statement of his is considered to be his, and
al-Qaida's declaration of war on the United States of
America.
This fatwa was
originally published in al-Quds al-Arabi, a London-based
newspaper, in August, 1996.
Praise be to Allah, we seek His help and
ask for his pardon. we take refuge in Allah from our wrongs
and bad deeds. Who ever been guided by Allah will not be
misled, and who ever has been misled, he will never be
guided. I bear witness that there is no God except Allah-no
associates with Him- and I bear witness that Muhammad is His
slave and messenger.
{O you who believe! be careful of -your
duty to- Allah with the proper care which is due to Him, and
do not die unless you are Muslim} (Imraan; 3:102), {O people
be careful of -your duty to- your Lord, Who created you from
a single being and created its mate of the same -kind- and
spread from these two, many men and women; and be careful of
-your duty to- Allah , by whom you demand one of another
-your rights-, and (be careful) to the ties of kinship;
surely Allah ever watches over you} (An-Nisa; 4:1), {O you
who believe! be careful- of your duty- to Allah and speak
the right word; He will put your deeds into a right state
for you, and forgive you your faults; and who ever obeys
Allah and his Apostle, he indeed achieve a mighty success}
(Al-Ahzab; 33:70-71).
Praise be to Allah, reporting the saying
of the prophet Shu'aib: {I desire nothing but reform so far
as I am able, and with non but Allah is the direction of my
affair to the right and successful path; on him do I rely
and to him do I turn} (Hud; 11:88).
Praise be to Allah, saying: {You are the
best of the nations raised up for -the benefit of- men; you
enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong and believe in
Allah} (Aal-Imraan; 3:110). Allah's blessing and salutations
on His slave and messenger who said: (The people are close
to an all encompassing punishment from Allah if they see the
oppressor and fail to restrain him.)
It should not be hidden from you that the
people of Islam had suffered from aggression, iniquity and
injustice imposed on them by the Zionist-Crusaders alliance
and their collaborators; to the extent that the Muslims
blood became the cheapest and their wealth as loot in the
hands of the enemies. Their blood was spilled in Palestine
and Iraq. The horrifying pictures of the massacre of Qana,
in Lebanon are still fresh in our memory. Massacres in
Tajakestan, Burma, Cashmere, Assam, Philippine, Fatani,
Ogadin, Somalia, Erithria, Chechnia and in
Bosnia-Herzegovina took place, massacres that send shivers
in the body and shake the conscience. All of this and the
world watch and hear, and not only didn't respond to these
atrocities, but also with a clear conspiracy between the USA
and its' allies and under the cover of the iniquitous United
Nations, the dispossessed people were even prevented from
obtaining arms to defend themselves.
The people of Islam awakened and realised
that they are the main target for the aggression of the
Zionist-Crusaders alliance. All false claims and propaganda
about "Human Rights" were hammered down and exposed by the
massacres that took place against the Muslims in every part
of the world.
The latest and the greatest of these
aggressions, incurred by the Muslims since the death of the
Prophet (ALLAH'S BLESSING AND SALUTATIONS ON HIM) is the
occupation of the land of the two Holy Places -the
foundation of the house of Islam, the place of the
revelation, the source of the message and the place of the
noble Ka'ba, the Qiblah of all Muslims- by the armies of the
American Crusaders and their allies. (We bemoan this and can
only say: "No power and power acquiring except through
Allah").
Under the present circumstances, and
under the banner of the blessed awakening which is sweeping
the world in general and the Islamic world in particular, I
meet with you today. And after a long absence, imposed on
the scholars (Ulama) and callers (Da'ees) of Islam by the
iniquitous crusaders movement under the leadership of the
USA; who fears that they, the scholars and callers of Islam,
will instigate the Ummah of Islam against its' enemies as
their ancestor scholars-may Allah be pleased with them- like
Ibn Taymiyyah and Al'iz Ibn Abdes-Salaam did. And therefore
the Zionist-Crusader alliance resorted to killing and
arresting the truthful Ulama and the working Da'ees (We are
not praising or sanctifying them; Allah sanctify whom He
pleased). They killed the Mujahid Sheikh Abdullah Azzaam,
and they arrested the Mujahid Sheikh Ahmad Yaseen and the
Mujahid Sheikh Omar Abdur Rahman (in America).
By orders from the USA they also arrested
a large number of scholars, Da'ees and young people - in the
land of the two Holy Places- among them the prominent Sheikh
Salman Al-Oud'a and Sheikh Safar Al-Hawali and their
brothers; (We bemoan this and can only say: "No power and
power acquiring except through Allah"). We, myself and my
group, have suffered some of this injustice ourselves; we
have been prevented from addressing the Muslims. We have
been pursued in Pakistan, Sudan and Afghanistan, hence this
long absence on my part. But by the Grace of Allah, a safe
base is now available in the high Hindukush mountains in
Khurasan ; where--by the Grace of Allah-the largest infidel
military force of the world was destroyed. And the myth of
the super power was withered in front of the Mujahideen
cries of Allahu Akbar (God is greater). Today we work from
the same mountains to lift the iniquity that had been
imposed on the Ummah by the Zionist-Crusader alliance,
particularly after they have occupied the blessed land
around Jerusalem, route of the journey of the Prophet
(ALLAH'S BLESSING AND SALUTATIONS ON HIM) and the land of
the two Holy Places. We ask Allah to bestow us with victory,
He is our Patron and He is the Most Capable.
From here, today we begin the work,
talking and discussing the ways of correcting what had
happened to the Islamic world in general, and the Land of
the two Holy Places in particular. We wish to study the
means that we could follow to return the situation to its'
normal path. And to return to the people their own rights,
particularly after the large damages and the great
aggression on the life and the religion of the people. An
injustice that had affected every section and group of the
people; the civilians, military and security men, government
officials and merchants, the young and the old people as
well as schools and university students. Hundred of
thousands of the unemployed graduates, who became the widest
section of the society, were also affected.
Injustice had affected the people of the
industry and agriculture. It affected the people of the
rural and urban areas. And almost every body complain about
something. The situation at the land of the two Holy places
became like a huge volcano at the verge of eruption that
would destroy the Kufr and the corruption and its' sources.
The explosion at Riyadh and Al-Khobar is a warning of this
volcanic eruption emerging as a result of the sever
oppression, suffering, excessive iniquity, humiliation and
poverty.
People are fully concerned about their
every day livings; every body talks about the deterioration
of the economy, inflation, ever increasing debts and jails
full of prisoners. Government employees with limited income
talk about debts of ten thousands and hundred thousands of
Saudi Riyals . They complain that the value of the Riyal is
greatly and continuously deteriorating among most of the
main currencies. Great merchants and contractors speak about
hundreds and thousands of million Riyals owed to them by the
government. More than three hundred forty billions of Riyal
owed by the government to the people in addition to the
daily accumulated interest, let alone the foreign debt.
People wonder whether we are the largest oil exporting
country?! They even believe that this situation is a curse
put on them by Allah for not objecting to the oppressive and
illegitimate behaviour and measures of the ruling regime:
Ignoring the divine Shari'ah law; depriving people of their
legitimate rights; allowing the American to occupy the land
of the two Holy Places; imprisonment, unjustly, of the
sincere scholars. The honourable Ulamah and scholars as well
as merchants, economists and eminent people of the country
were all alerted by this disastrous situation.
Quick efforts were made by each group to
contain and to correct the situation. All agreed that the
country is heading toward a great catastrophe, the depth of
which is not known except by Allah. One big merchant
commented : '' the king is leading the state into
'sixty-six' folded disaster'', (We bemoan this and can only
say: "No power and power acquiring except through Allah").
Numerous princes share with the people their feelings,
privately expressing their concerns and objecting to the
corruption, repression and the intimidation taking place in
the country. But the competition between influential princes
for personal gains and interest had destroyed the country.
Through its course of actions the regime has torn off its
legitimacy:
(1) Suspension of the Islamic Shari'ah
law and exchanging it with man made civil law. The regime
entered into a bloody confrontation with the truthful Ulamah
and the righteous youths (we sanctify nobody; Allah sanctify
Whom He pleaseth).
(2) The inability of the regime to
protect the country, and allowing the enemy of the Ummah -
the American crusader forces- to occupy the land for the
longest of years. The crusader forces became the main cause
of our disastrous condition, particularly in the economical
aspect of it due to the unjustified heavy spending on these
forces. As a result of the policy imposed on the country,
especially in the field of oil industry where production is
restricted or expanded and prices are fixed to suit the
American economy ignoring the economy of the country.
Expensive deals were imposed on the country to purchase
arms. People asking what is the justification for the very
existence of the regime then?
Quick efforts were made by individuals
and by different groups of the society to contain the
situation and to prevent the danger. They advised the
government both privately and openly; they send letters and
poems, reports after reports, reminders after reminders,
they explored every avenue and enlist every influential man
in their movement of reform and correction. They wrote with
style of passion, diplomacy and wisdom asking for corrective
measures and repentance from the "great wrong doings and
corruption " that had engulfed even the basic principles of
the religion and the legitimate rights of the people.
But -to our deepest regret- the regime
refused to listen to the people accusing them of being
ridiculous and imbecile. The matter got worse as previous
wrong doings were followed by mischief's of greater
magnitudes. All of this taking place in the land of the two
Holy Places! It is no longer possible to be quiet. It is not
acceptable to give a blind eye to this matter.
As the extent of these infringements
reached the highest of levels and turned into demolishing
forces threatening the very existence of the Islamic
principles, a group of scholars-who can take no more-
supported by hundreds of retired officials, merchants,
prominent and educated people wrote to the King asking for
implementation of the corrective measures. In 1411 A.H. (May
1991), at the time of the gulf war, a letter, the famous
letter of Shawwaal, with over four hundred signatures was
send to the king demanding the lift of oppression and the
implementation of corrective actions. The king humiliated
those people and choose to ignore the content of their
letter; and the very bad situation of the country became
even worse.
People, however, tried again and send
more letters and petitions. One particular report, the
glorious Memorandum Of Advice, was handed over to the king
on Muharram, 1413 A.H (July 1992), which tackled the problem
pointed out the illness and prescribed the medicine in an
original, righteous and scientific style. It described the
gaps and the shortcoming in the philosophy of the regime and
suggested the required course of action and remedy. The
report gave a description of:
(1) The intimidation and harassment
suffered by the leaders of the society, the scholars, heads
of tribes, merchants, academic teachers and other eminent
individuals;
(2) The situation of the law within the
country and the arbitrary declaration of what is Halal and
Haram (lawful and unlawful) regardless of the Shari'ah as
instituted by Allah;
(3) The state of the press and the media
which became a tool of truth-hiding and misinformation; the
media carried out the plan of the enemy of idolising cult of
certain personalities and spreading scandals among the
believers to repel the people away from their religion, as
Allah, the Exalted said: {surely- as for- those who love
that scandal should circulate between the believers, they
shall have a grievous chastisement in this world and in the
here after} (An-Noor, 24:19).
(4) Abuse and confiscation of human
rights;
(5) The financial and the economical
situation of the country and the frightening future in the
view of the enormous amount of debts and interest owed by
the government; this is at the time when the wealth of the
Ummah being wasted to satisfy personal desires of certain
individuals!! while imposing more custom duties and taxes on
the nation. (the prophet said about the woman who committed
adultery: "She repented in such a way sufficient to bring
forgiveness to a custom collector!!").,
(6) The miserable situation of the social
services and infra-structure especially the water service
and supply , the basic requirement of life.,
(7) The state of the ill-trained and
ill-prepared army and the impotence of its commander in
chief despite the incredible amount of money that has been
spent on the army. The gulf war clearly exposed the
situation.,
(8) Shari'a law was suspended and man
made law was used instead.,
(9) And as far as the foreign policy is
concerned the report exposed not only how this policy has
disregarded the Islamic issues and ignored the Muslims, but
also how help and support were provided to the enemy against
the Muslims; the cases of Gaza-Ariha and the communist in
the south of Yemen are still fresh in the memory, and more
can be said.
As stated by the people of knowledge, it
is not a secret that to use man made law instead of the
Shari'a and to support the infidels against the Muslims is
one of the ten "voiders" that would strip a person from his
Islamic status (turn a Muslim into a Mushrik, non believer
status). The All Mighty said: {and whoever did not judge by
what Allah revealed, those are the unbelievers} (Al-Ma'ida;
5:44), and {but no! by your Lord! they do not believe (in
reality) until they make you a judge of that which has
become a matter of disagreement among them, and then do not
find the slightest misgiving in their hearts as to what you
have decided and submit with entire submission} (An-Nissa;
4:65).
In spite of the fact that the report was
written with soft words and very diplomatic style, reminding
of Allah, giving truthful sincere advice, and despite of the
importance of advice in Islam - being absolutely essential
for those in charge of the people- and the large number who
signed this document as well as their supporters, all of
that was not an intercession for the Memorandum . Its'
content was rejected and those who signed it and their
sympathisers were ridiculed, prevented from travel, punished
and even jailed.
Therefore it is very clear that the
advocates of correction and reform movement were very keen
on using peaceful means in order to protect the unity of the
country and to prevent blood shed. Why is it then the regime
closed all peaceful routes and pushed the people toward
armed actions?!! which is the only choice left for them to
implement righteousness and justice. To whose benefit does
prince Sultan and prince Nayeff push the country into a
civil war that will destroy everything? and why consulting
those who ignites internal feuds, playing the people against
each other and instigate the policemen, the sons of the
nation, to abort the reform movement. While leaving in peace
and security such traitors who implement the policy of the
enemy in order to bleed the financial and the human
resources of the Ummah, and leaving the main enemy in the
area-the American Zionist alliance enjoy peace and
security?!
The advisor (Zaki Badr, the Egyptian
ex-minister of the interior) to prince Nayeff -minister of
interior- was not acceptable even to his own country; he was
sacked from his position there due to the filthy attitude
and the aggression he exercised on his own people, yet he
was warmly welcomed by prince Nayeff to assist in sins and
aggressions. He unjustly filled the prisons with the best
sons of this Ummah and caused miseries to their mothers.
Does the regime want to play the civilians against their
military personnel and vice versa, like what had happened in
some of the neighbouring countries?!! No doubts this is the
policy of the American-Israeli alliance as they are the
first to benefit from this situation.
But with the grace of Allah, the majority
of the nation, both civilians and military individuals are
aware of the wicked plan. They refused to be played against
each others and to be used by the regime as a tool to carry
out the policy of the American-Israeli alliance through
their agent in our country: the Saudi regime.
Therefore every one agreed that the
situation can not be rectified (the shadow cannot be
straighten when its' source, the rod, is not straight
either) unless the root of the problem is tackled. Hence it
is essential to hit the main enemy who divided the Ummah
into small and little countries and pushed it, for the last
few decades, into a state of confusion. The Zionist-Crusader
alliance moves quickly to contain and abort any "corrective
movement" appearing in the Islamic countries. Different
means and methods are used to achieve their target; on
occasion the "movement" is dragged into an armed struggle at
a predetermined unfavourable time and place. Sometime
officials from the Ministry of Interior, who are also
graduates of the colleges of the Shari'ah, are leashed out
to mislead and confuse the nation and the Ummah (by wrong
Fatwas) and to circulate false information about the
movement. At other occasions some righteous people were
tricked into a war of words against the Ulama and the
leaders of the movement, wasting the energy of the nation in
discussing minor issues and ignoring the main one that is
the unification of the people under the divine law of Allah.
In the shadow of these discussions and
arguments truthfulness is covered by the falsehood, and
personal feuds and partisanship created among the people
increasing the division and the weakness of the Ummah;
priorities of the Islamic work are lost while the blasphemy
and polytheism continue its grip and control over the Ummah.
We should be alert to these atrocious plans carried out by
the Ministry of Interior. The right answer is to follow what
have been decided by the people of knowledge, as was said by
Ibn Taymiyyah (Allah's mercy upon him): "people of Islam
should join forces and support each other to get rid of the
main "Kufr" who is controlling the countries of the Islamic
world, even to bear the lesser damage to get rid of the
major one, that is the great Kufr".
If there are more than one duty to be
carried out, then the most important one should receive
priority. Clearly after Belief (Imaan) there is no more
important duty than pushing the American enemy out of the
holy land. No other priority, except Belief, could be
considered before it; the people of knowledge, Ibn
Taymiyyah, stated: "to fight in defence of religion and
Belief is a collective duty; there is no other duty after
Belief than fighting the enemy who is corrupting the life
and the religion. There is no preconditions for this duty
and the enemy should be fought with one best abilities.
(ref: supplement of Fatawa). If it is not possible to push
back the enemy except by the collective movement of the
Muslim people, then there is a duty on the Muslims to ignore
the minor differences among themselves; the ill effect of
ignoring these differences, at a given period of time, is
much less than the ill effect of the occupation of the
Muslims' land by the main Kufr. Ibn Taymiyyah had explained
this issue and emphasised the importance of dealing with the
major threat on the expense of the minor one. He described
the situation of the Muslims and the Mujahideen and stated
that even the military personnel who are not practising
Islam are not exempted from the duty of Jihad against the
enemy.
Ibn Taymiyyah , after mentioning the
Moguls (Tatar) and their behaviour in changing the law of
Allah, stated that: the ultimate aim of pleasing Allah,
raising His word, instituting His religion and obeying His
messenger (ALLAH'S BLESSING AND SALUTATIONS ON HIM) is to
fight the enemy, in every aspects and in a complete manner;
if the danger to the religion from not fighting is greater
than that of fighting, then it is a duty to fight them even
if the intention of some of the fighter is not pure i.e .
fighting for the sake of leadership (personal gain) or if
they do not observe some of the rules and commandments of
Islam. To repel the greatest of the two dangers on the
expense of the lesser one is an Islamic principle which
should be observed. It was the tradition of the people of
the Sunnah (Ahlul-Sunnah) to join and invade- fight- with
the righteous and non righteous men. Allah may support this
religion by righteous and non righteous people as told by
the prophet (ALLAH'S BLESSING AND SALUTATIONS ON HIM). If it
is not possible to fight except with the help of non
righteous military personnel and commanders, then there are
two possibilities: either fighting will be ignored and the
others, who are the great danger to this life and religion,
will take control; or to fight with the help of non
righteous rulers and therefore repelling the greatest of the
two dangers and implementing most, though not all, of the
Islamic laws. The latter option is the right duty to be
carried out in these circumstances and in many other similar
situation. In fact many of the fights and conquests that
took place after the time of Rashidoon, the guided Imams,
were of this type. (majmoo' al Fatawa, 26/506).
No one, not even a blind or a deaf person
, can deny the presence of the widely spread mischief's or
the prevalence of the great sins that had reached the
grievous iniquity of polytheism and to share with Allah in
His sole right of sovereignty and making of the law. The All
Mighty stated: {And when Luqman said to his son while he
admonish him: O my son! do not associate ought with Allah;
most surely polytheism is a grievous iniquity} (Luqman;
31:13). Man fabricated laws were put forward permitting what
has been forbidden by Allah such as usury (Riba) and other
matters. Banks dealing in usury are competing, for lands,
with the two Holy Places and declaring war against Allah by
disobeying His order {Allah has allowed trading and
forbidden usury} (Baqarah; 2:275). All this taking place at
the vicinity of the Holy Mosque in the Holy Land! Allah
(SWT) stated in His Holy Book a unique promise (that had not
been promised to any other sinner) to the Muslims who deals
in usury: {O you who believe! Be careful of your duty to
Allah and relinquish what remains (due) from usury, if you
are believers * But if you do (it) not, then be appraised of
WAR from Allah and His Apostle} (Baqarah; 2:278-279). This
is for the "Muslim" who deals in usury (believing that it is
a sin), what is it then to the person who make himself a
partner and equal to Allah, legalising (usury and other
sins) what has been forbidden by Allah. Despite of all of
the above we see the government misled and dragged some of
the righteous Ulamah and Da'ees away from the issue of
objecting to the greatest of sins and Kufr. (We bemoan this
and can only say: "No power and power acquiring except
through Allah").
Under such circumstances, to push the
enemy-the greatest Kufr- out of the country is a prime duty.
No other duty after Belief is more important than the duty
of had . Utmost effort should be made to prepare and
instigate the Ummah against the enemy, the American-Israeli
alliance- occupying the country of the two Holy Places and
the route of the Apostle (Allah's Blessings and Salutations
may be on him) to the Furthest Mosque (Al-Aqsa Mosque). Also
to remind the Muslims not to be engaged in an internal war
among themselves, as that will have grieve consequences
namely:
1-consumption of the Muslims human
resources as most casualties and fatalities will be among
the Muslims people.
2-Exhaustion of the economic and
financial resources.
3-Destruction of the country
infrastructures
4-Dissociation of the society
5-Destruction of the oil industries. The
presence of the USA Crusader military forces on land, sea
and air of the states of the Islamic Gulf is the greatest
danger threatening the largest oil reserve in the world. The
existence of these forces in the area will provoke the
people of the country and induces aggression on their
religion, feelings and prides and push them to take up armed
struggle against the invaders occupying the land; therefore
spread of the fighting in the region will expose the oil
wealth to the danger of being burned up. The economic
interests of the States of the Gulf and the land of the two
Holy Places will be damaged and even a greater damage will
be caused to the economy of the world. I would like here to
alert my brothers, the Mujahideen, the sons of the nation,
to protect this (oil) wealth and not to include it in the
battle as it is a great Islamic wealth and a large
economical power essential for the soon to be established
Islamic state, by Allah's Permission and Grace. We also warn
the aggressors, the USA, against burning this Islamic wealth
(a crime which they may commit in order to prevent it, at
the end of the war, from falling in the hands of its
legitimate owners and to cause economic damages to the
competitors of the USA in Europe or the Far East,
particularly Japan which is the major consumer of the oil of
the region).
6-Division of the land of the two Holy
Places, and annexing of the northerly part of it by Israel.
Dividing the land of the two Holy Places is an essential
demand of the Zionist-Crusader alliance. The existence of
such a large country with its huge resources under the
leadership of the forthcoming Islamic State, by Allah's
Grace, represent a serious danger to the very existence of
the Zionist state in Palestine. The Nobel Ka'ba, -the Qiblah
of all Muslims- makes the land of the two Holy Places a
symbol for the unity of the Islamic world. Moreover, the
presence of the world largest oil reserve makes the land of
the two Holy Places an important economical power in the
Islamic world. The sons of the two Holy Places are directly
related to the life style (Seerah) of their forefathers, the
companions, may Allah be pleased with them. They consider
the Seerah of their forefathers as a source and an example
for re-establishing the greatness of this Ummah and to raise
the word of Allah again. Furthermore the presence of a
population of fighters in the south of Yemen, fighting in
the cause of Allah, is a strategic threat to the
Zionist-Crusader alliance in the area. The Prophet (ALLAH'S
BLESSING AND SALUTATIONS ON HIM) said: (around twelve
thousands will emerge from Aden/Abian helping -the cause of-
Allah and His messenger, they are the best, in the time,
between me and them) narrated by Ahmad with a correct
trustworthy reference.
7-An internal war is a great mistake, no
matter what reasons are there for it. the presence of the
occupier-the USA- forces will control the outcome of the
battle for the benefit of the international Kufr.
I address now my brothers of the security
and military forces and the national guards may Allah
preserve you hoard for Islam and the Muslims people:
O you protectors of unity and guardians
of Faith; O you descendent of the ancestors who carried the
light (torch) of guidance and spread it all over the world.
O you grandsons of Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqaas , Almothanna Ibn
Haritha Ash-Shaybani , Alga'ga' Ibn Amroo Al-Tameemi and
those pious companions who fought Jihad alongside them; you
competed to join the army and the guard forces with the
intention to carry out Jihad in the cause of Allah -raising
His word- and to defend the faith of Islam and the land of
the two Holy Places against the invaders and the occupying
forces. That is the ultimate level of believing in this
religion "Deen". But the regime had reversed these
principles and their understanding, humiliating the Ummah
and disobeying Allah. Half a century ago the rulers promised
the Ummah to regain the first Qiblah, but fifty years later
new generation arrived and the promises have been changed;
Al-Aqsa Mosque handed over to the Zionists and the wounds of
the Ummah still bleeding there. At the time when the Ummah
has not regained the first Qiblah and the rout of the
journey of the Prophet (Allah's Blessings and Salutations
may be on him), and despite of all of the above, the Saudi
regime had stunt the Ummah in the remaining sanctities, the
Holy city of Makka and the mosque of the Prophet (Al-Masjid
An-Nabawy), by calling the Christians army to defend the
regime. The crusaders were permitted to be in the land of
the two Holy Places. Not surprisingly though, the King
himself wore the cross on his chest. The country was widely
opened from the north-to- the south and from east-to-the
west for the crusaders. The land was filled with the
military bases of the USA and the allies. The regime became
unable to keep control without the help of these bases. You
know more than any body else about the size, intention and
the danger of the presence of the USA military bases in the
area. The regime betrayed the Ummah and joined the Kufr,
assisting and helping them against the Muslims. It is well
known that this is one of the ten "voiders" of Islam, deeds
of de-Islamisation. By opening the Arab peninsula to the
crusaders the regime disobeyed and acted against what has
been enjoined by the messenger of Allah (Allah's Blessings
and Salutations may be on him), while he was at the bed of
his death: (Expel the polytheists out of the Arab
Peninsula); (narrated by Al-Bukhari) and: (If I survive,
Allah willing, I'll expel the Jews and the Christians out of
the Arab Peninsula); saheeh Aljame' As-Sagheer.
It is out of date and no longer
acceptable to claim that the presence of the crusaders is
necessity and only a temporary measures to protect the land
of the two Holy Places. Especially when the civil and the
military infrastructures of Iraq were savagely destroyed
showing the depth of the Zionist-Crusaders hatred to the
Muslims and their children, and the rejection of the idea of
replacing the crusaders forces by an Islamic force composed
of the sons of the country and other Muslim people. moreover
the foundations of the claim and the claim it self were
demolished and wiped out by the sequence of speeches given
by the leaders of the Kuffar in America. The latest of these
speeches was the one given by William Perry, the Defense
Secretary, after the explosion in Al-Khobar saying that: the
presence of the American solders there is to protect the
interest of the USA. The imprisoned Sheikh Safar Al-Hawali,
may Allah hasten his release, wrote a book of seventy pages;
in it he presented evidence and proof that the presence of
the Americans in the Arab Peninsula is a pre-planed military
occupation. The regime want to deceive the Muslim people in
the same manner when the Palestinian fighters, Mujahideen,
were deceived causing the loss of Al-Aqsa Mosque. In 1304
A.H (1936 AD) the awakened Muslims nation of Palestine
started their great struggle, Jihad, against the British
occupying forces. Britain was impotent to stop the
Mujahideen and their Jihad, but their devil inspired that
there is no way to stop the armed struggle in Palestine
unless through their agent King Abdul Azeez, who managed to
deceives the Mujahideen. King Abdul Azeez carried out his
duty to his British masters. He sent his two sons to meet
the Mujahideen leaders and to inform them that King Abdul
Azeez would guarantee the promises made by the British
government in leaving the area and responding positively to
the demands of the Mujahideen if the latter stop their
Jihad. And so King Abdul Azeez caused the loss of the first
Qiblah of the Muslims people. The King joined the crusaders
against the Muslims and instead of supporting the Mujahideen
in the cause of Allah, to liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque, he
disappointed and humiliated them.
Today, his son, king Fahd, trying to
deceive the Muslims for the second time so as to loose what
is left of the sanctities. When the Islamic world resented
the arrival of the crusader forces to the land of the two
Holy Places, the king told lies to the Ulamah (who issued
Fatwas about the arrival of the Americans) and to the
gathering of the Islamic leaders at the conference of
Rabitah which was held in the Holy City of Makka. The King
said that: "the issue is simple, the American and the
alliance forces will leave the area in few months". Today it
is seven years since their arrival and the regime is not
able to move them out of the country. The regime made no
confession about its inability and carried on lying to the
people claiming that the American will leave. But
never-never again ; a believer will not be bitten twice from
the same hole or snake! Happy is the one who takes note of
the sad experience of the others!!
Instead of motivating the army, the
guards, and the security men to oppose the occupiers, the
regime used these men to protect the invaders, and further
deepening the humiliation and the betrayal. (We bemoan this
and can only say: "No power and power acquiring except
through Allah"). To those little group of men within the
army, police and security forces, who have been tricked and
pressured by the regime to attack the Muslims and spill
their blood, we would like to remind them of the narration:
(I promise war against those who take my friends as their
enemy) narrated by Al--Bukhari. And his saying (Allah's
Blessings and Salutations may be on him) saying of: ( In the
day of judgement a man comes holding another and complaining
being slain by him. Allah, blessed be His Names, asks: Why
did you slay him?! The accused replies: I did so that all
exaltation may be Yours. Allah, blessed be His Names, says:
All exaltation is indeed mine! Another man comes holding a
fourth with a similar complaint. Allah, blessed be His
Names, asks: Why did you kill him?! The accused replies: I
did so that exaltation may be for Mr. X! Allah, blessed be
His Names, says: exaltation is mine, not for Mr. X, carry
all the slain man's sins (and proceed to the Hell fire)!).
In another wording of An-Nasa'i: "The accused says: for
strengthening the rule or kingdom of Mr. X"
Today your brothers and sons, the sons of
the two Holy Places, have started their Jihad in the cause
of Allah, to expel the occupying enemy from of the country
of the two Holy places. And there is no doubt you would like
to carry out this mission too, in order to re-establish the
greatness of this Ummah and to liberate its' occupied
sanctities. Nevertheless, it must be obvious to you that,
due to the imbalance of power between our armed forces and
the enemy forces, a suitable means of fighting must be
adopted i.e using fast moving light forces that work under
complete secrecy. In other word to initiate a guerrilla
warfare, were the sons of the nation, and not the military
forces, take part in it. And as you know, it is wise, in the
present circumstances, for the armed military forces not to
be engaged in a conventional fighting with the forces of the
crusader enemy (the exceptions are the bold and the forceful
operations carried out by the members of the armed forces
individually, that is without the movement of the formal
forces in its conventional shape and hence the responses
will not be directed, strongly, against the army) unless a
big advantage is likely to be achieved; and great losses
induced on the enemy side (that would shaken and destroy its
foundations and infrastructures) that will help to expel the
defeated enemy from the country.
The Mujahideen, your brothers and sons,
requesting that you support them in every possible way by
supplying them with the necessary information, materials and
arms. Security men are especially asked to cover up for the
Mujahideen and to assist them as much as possible against
the occupying enemy; and to spread rumours, fear and
discouragement among the members of the enemy
forces.
We bring to your attention that the
regime, in order to create a friction and feud between the
Mujahideen and yourselves, might resort to take a deliberate
action against personnel of the security, guards and
military forces and blame the Mujahideen for these actions.
The regime should not be allowed to have such
opportunity.
The regime is fully responsible for what
had been incurred by the country and the nation; however the
occupying American enemy is the principle and the main cause
of the situation . Therefore efforts should be concentrated
on destroying, fighting and killing the enemy until, by the
Grace of Allah, it is completely defeated. The time will
come -by the Permission of Allah- when you'll perform your
decisive role so that the word of Allah will be supreme and
the word of the infidels (Kaferoon) will be the inferior.
You will hit with iron fist against the aggressors. You'll
re-establish the normal course and give the people their
rights and carry out your truly Islamic duty. Allah willing,
I'll have a separate talk about these issues.
My Muslim Brothers (particularly those of
the Arab Peninsula): The money you pay to buy American goods
will be transformed into bullets and used against our
brothers in Palestine and tomorrow (future) against our sons
in the land of the two Holy places. By buying these goods we
are strengthening their economy while our dispossession and
poverty increases.
Muslims Brothers of land of the two Holy
Places:
It is incredible that our country is the
world largest buyer of arms from the USA and the area
biggest commercial partners of the Americans who are
assisting their Zionist brothers in occupying Palestine and
in evicting and killing the Muslims there, by providing
arms, men and financial supports.
To deny these occupiers from the enormous
revenues of their trading with our country is a very
important help for our Jihad against them. To express our
anger and hate to them is a very important moral gesture. By
doing so we would have taken part in (the process of )
cleansing our sanctities from the crusaders and the Zionists
and forcing them, by the Permission of Allah, to leave
disappointed and defeated.
We expect the woman of the land of the
two Holy Places and other countries to carry out their role
in boycotting the American goods.
If economical boycotting is intertwined
with the military operations of the Mujahideen, then
defeating the enemy will be even nearer, by the Permission
of Allah. However if Muslims don't co-operate and support
their Mujahideen brothers then , in effect, they are
supplying the army of the enemy with financial help and
extending the war and increasing the suffering of the
Muslims.
The security and the intelligence
services of the entire world can not force a single citizen
to buy the goods of his/her enemy. Economical boycotting of
the American goods is a very effective weapon of hitting and
weakening the enemy, and it is not under the control of the
security forces of the regime.
Before closing my talk, I have a very
important message to the youths of Islam, men of the
brilliant future of the Ummah of Muhammad (ALLAH'S BLESSING
AND SALUTATIONS ON HIM). Our talk with the youths about
their duty in this difficult period in the history of our
Ummah. A period in which the youths and no one else came
forward to carry out the variable and different duties.
While some of the well known individuals had hesitated in
their duty of defending Islam and saving themselves and
their wealth from the injustice, aggression and terror
-exercised by the government- the youths (may Allah protect
them) were forthcoming and raised the banner of Jihad
against the American-Zionist alliance occupying the
sanctities of Islam. Others who have been tricked into
loving this materialistic world, and those who have been
terrorised by the government choose to give legitimacy to
the greatest betrayal , the occupation of the land of the
two Holy Places (We bemoan this and can only say: "No power
and power acquiring except through Allah"). We are not
surprised from the action of our youths. The youths were the
companions of Muhammad (Allah's Blessings and Salutations
may be on him), and was it not the youths themselves who
killed Aba-Jahl, the Pharaoh of this Ummah? Our youths are
the best descendent of the best ancestors.
Abdul-Rahman Ibn Awf -may Allah be
pleased with him- said: (I was at Badr where I noticed two
youths one to my right and the other to my left. One of them
asked me quietly (so not to be heard by the other) : O uncle
point out Aba-Jahl to me. What do you want him for? , said
Abdul Rahman. The boy answered: I have been informed that
he- Aba-Jahl- abused the Messenger of Allah (), I swear by
Allah, who have my soul in His hand, that if I see Aba-Jahl
I'll not let my shadow departs his shadow till one of us is
dead. I was astonished, said Abdul Rahman; then the other
youth said the same thing as the first one. Subsequently I
saw Aba-Jahl among the people; I said to the boys do you
see? this is the man you are asking me about. The two youths
hit Aba-Jahl with their swords till he was dead. Allah is
the greatest, Praise be to Him: Two youths of young age but
with great perseverance, enthusiasm, courage and pride for
the religion of Allah's, each one of them asking about the
most important act of killing that should be induced on the
enemy. That is the killing of the pharaoh of this Ummah -
Aba Jahl-, the leader of the unbelievers (Mushrikeen) at the
battle of Badr. The role of Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf , may Allah
be pleased with him, was to direct the two youths toward
Aba-Jahl. That was the perseverance and the enthusiasm of
the youths of that time and that was the perseverance and
the enthusiasm of their fathers. It is this role that is now
required from the people who have the expertise and
knowledge in fighting the enemy. They should guide their
brothers and sons in this matter; once that has been done,
then our youths will repeat what their forefathers had said
before: "I swear by Allah if I see him I'll not let my
shadow to departs from his shadow till one of us is dead".
And the story of Abdur-Rahman Ibn Awf
about Ummayyah Ibn Khalaf shows the extent of Bilal's (may
Allah be pleased with him) persistence in killing the head
of the Kufr: "the head of Kufr is Ummayyah Ibn Khalaf.... I
shall live not if he survives" said Bilal.
Few days ago the news agencies had
reported that the Defence Secretary of the Crusading
Americans had said that "the explosion at Riyadh and
Al-Khobar had taught him one lesson: that is not to withdraw
when attacked by coward terrorists".
We say to the Defence Secretary that his
talk can induce a grieving mother to laughter! and shows the
fears that had enshrined you all. Where was this false
courage of yours when the explosion in Beirut took place on
1983 AD (1403 A.H). You were turned into scattered pits and
pieces at that time; 241 mainly marines solders were killed.
And where was this courage of yours when two explosions made
you to leave Aden in lees than twenty four hours!
But your most disgraceful case was in
Somalia; where- after vigorous propaganda about the power of
the USA and its post cold war leadership of the new world
order- you moved tens of thousands of international force,
including twenty eight thousands American solders into
Somalia. However, when tens of your solders were killed in
minor battles and one American Pilot was dragged in the
streets of Mogadishu you left the area carrying
disappointment, humiliation, defeat and your dead with you.
Clinton appeared in front of the whole world threatening and
promising revenge , but these threats were merely a
preparation for withdrawal. You have been disgraced by Allah
and you withdrew; the extent of your impotence and
weaknesses became very clear. It was a pleasure for the
"heart" of every Muslim and a remedy to the "chests" of
believing nations to see you defeated in the three Islamic
cities of Beirut , Aden and Mogadishu.
I say to Secretary of Defence: The sons
of the land of the two Holy Places had come out to fight
against the Russian in Afghanistan, the Serb in
Bosnia-Herzegovina and today they are fighting in Chechenia
and -by the Permission of Allah- they have been made
victorious over your partner, the Russians. By the command
of Allah, they are also fighting in Tajakistan.
I say: Since the sons of the land of the
two Holy Places feel and strongly believe that fighting
(Jihad) against the Kuffar in every part of the world, is
absolutely essential; then they would be even more
enthusiastic, more powerful and larger in number upon
fighting on their own land- the place of their births-
defending the greatest of their sanctities, the noble Ka'ba
(the Qiblah of all Muslims). They know that the Muslims of
the world will assist and help them to victory. To liberate
their sanctities is the greatest of issues concerning all
Muslims; It is the duty of every Muslims in this
world.
I say to you William (Defence Secretary)
that: These youths love death as you loves life. They
inherit dignity, pride, courage, generosity, truthfulness
and sacrifice from father to father. They are most
delivering and steadfast at war. They inherit these values
from their ancestors (even from the time of the Jaheliyyah,
before Islam). These values were approved and completed by
the arriving Islam as stated by the messenger of Allah
(Allah's Blessings and Salutations may be on him): "I have
been send to perfecting the good values". (Saheeh Al-Jame'
As-Sagheer).
When the pagan King Amroo Ibn Hind tried
to humiliate the pagan Amroo Ibn Kulthoom, the latter cut
the head of the King with his sword rejecting aggression,
humiliation and indignation.
If the king oppresses the people
excessively, we reject submitting to humiliation.
By which legitimacy (or command) O Amroo
bin Hind you want us to be degraded?!
By which legitimacy (or command) O Amroo
bin Hind you listen to our foes and disrespect us?!
Our toughness has, O Amroo, tired the
enemies before you, never giving in!
Our youths believe in paradise after
death. They believe that taking part in fighting will not
bring their day nearer; and staying behind will not postpone
their day either. Exalted be to Allah who said: {And a soul
will not die but with the permission of Allah, the term is
fixed} (Aal Imraan; 3:145). Our youths believe in the saying
of the messenger of Allah (Allah's Blessings and Salutations
may be on him): "O boy, I teach a few words; guard (guard
the cause of, keep the commandments of) Allah, then He
guards you, guard (the cause of ) Allah, then He will be
with you; if you ask (for your need) ask Allah, if you seek
assistance, seek Allah's; and know definitely that if the
Whole World gathered to (bestow) profit on you they will not
profit you except with what was determined for you by Allah,
and if they gathered to harm you they will not harm you
except with what has been determined for you by Allah; Pen
lifted, papers dried, it is fixed nothing in these truths
can be changed" Saheeh Al-Jame' As-Sagheer. Our youths took
note of the meaning of the poetic verse:
"If death is a predetermined must, then
it is a shame to die cowardly."
and the other poet saying:
"Who do not die by the sword will die by
other reason; many causes are there but one death".
These youths believe in what has been
told by Allah and His messenger (Allah's Blessings and
Salutations may be on him) about the greatness of the reward
for the Mujahideen and Martyrs; Allah, the most exalted
said: {and -so far- those who are slain in the way of Allah,
He will by no means allow their deeds to perish. He will
guide them and improve their condition. and cause them to
enter the garden -paradise- which He has made known to
them}. (Muhammad; 47:4-6). Allah the Exalted also said: {and
do not speak of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead;
nay -they are- alive, but you do not perceive} (Bagarah;
2:154). His messenger (Allah's Blessings and Salutations may
be on him) said: "for those who strive in His cause Allah
prepared hundred degrees (levels) in paradise; in-between
two degrees as the in-between heaven and earth". Saheeh
Al-Jame' As-Sagheer. He (Allah's Blessings and Salutations
may be on him) also said: "the best of the martyrs are those
who do NOT turn their faces away from the battle till they
are killed. They are in the high level of Jannah (paradise).
Their Lord laughs to them ( in pleasure) and when your Lord
laughs to a slave of His, He will not hold him to an
account". narrated by Ahmad with correct and trustworthy
reference. And : "a martyr will not feel the pain of death
except like how you feel when you are pinched". Saheeh
Al-Jame' As-Sagheer. He also said: "a martyr privileges are
guaranteed by Allah; forgiveness with the first gush of his
blood, he will be shown his seat in paradise, he will be
decorated with the jewels of belief (Imaan), married off to
the beautiful ones, protected from the test in the grave,
assured security in the day of judgement, crowned with the
crown of dignity, a ruby of which is better than this whole
world (Duniah) and its' entire content, wedded to seventy
two of the pure Houries (beautiful ones of Paradise) and his
intercession on the behalf of seventy of his relatives will
be accepted". Narrated by Ahmad and At-Tirmithi (with the
correct and trustworthy reference).
Those youths know that their rewards in
fighting you, the USA, is double than their rewards in
fighting some one else not from the people of the book. They
have no intention except to enter paradise by killing you.
An infidel, and enemy of God like you, cannot be in the same
hell with his righteous executioner.
Our youths chanting and reciting the word
of Allah, the most exalted: {fight them; Allah will punish
them by your hands and bring them to disgrace, and assist
you against them and heal the heart of a believing people}
(At-Taubah; 9:14) and the words of the prophet (ALLAH'S
BLESSING AND SALUTATIONS ON HIM): "I swear by Him, who has
my soul in His hand, that no man get killed fighting them
today, patiently attacking and not retreating ,surely Allah
will let him into paradise". And his (Allah's Blessings and
Salutations may be on him) saying to them: "get up to a
paradise as wide as heaven and earth".
The youths also reciting the All Mighty
words of: "so when you meat in battle those who disbelieve,
then smite the necks..." (Muhammad; 47:19). Those youths
will not ask you (William Perry) for explanations, they will
tell you singing there is nothing between us need to be
explained, there is only killing and neck smiting.
And they will say to you what their grand
father, Haroon Ar-Rasheed, Ameer-ul-Mu'meneen, replied to
your grandfather, Nagfoor, the Byzantine emperor, when he
threatened the Muslims: "from Haroon Ar-Rasheed,
Ameer-ul-Mu'meneen, to Nagfoor, the dog of the Romans; the
answer is what you will see not what you hear". Haroon
El-Rasheed led the armies of Islam to the battle and handed
Nagfoor a devastating defeat.
The youths you called cowards are
competing among themselves for fighting and killing you.
reciting what one of them said:
The crusader army became dust when we
detonated al-Khobar.
With courageous youth of Islam fearing no
danger.
If (they are) threatened: The tyrants
will kill you, they reply my death is a victory.
I did not betray that king, he did betray
our Qiblah.
And he permitted in the holy country the
most filthy sort of humans.
I have made an oath by Allah, the Great,
to fight who ever rejected the faith.
For more than a decade, they carried arms
on their shoulders in Afghanistan and they have made vows to
Allah that as long as they are alive, they will continue to
carry arms against you until you are -Allah willing-
expelled, defeated and humiliated, they will carry on as
long as they live saying:
O William, tomorrow you will know which
young man is confronting your misguided brethren!
A youth fighting in smile, returning with
the spear coloured red.
May Allah keep me close to knights,
humans in peace, demons in war.
Lions in Jungle but their teeth are
spears and Indian swords.
The horses witness that I push them hard
forwarded in the fire of battle.
The dust of the battle bears witnesses
for me, so also the fighting itself, the pens and the
books!
So to abuse the grandsons of the
companions, may Allah be pleased with them, by calling them
cowards and challenging them by refusing to leave the land
of the two Holy Places shows the insanity and the imbalance
you are suffering from. Its appropriate "remedy," however,
is in the hands of the youths of Islam, as the poet said:
I am willing to sacrifice self and wealth
for knights who never disappointed me.
Knights who are never fed up or deterred
by death, even if the mill of war turns.
In the heat of battle they do not care,
and cure the insanity of the enemy by their 'insane'
courage.
Terrorising you, while you are carrying
arms on our land, is a legitimate and morally demanded duty.
It is a legitimate right well known to all humans and other
creatures. Your example and our example is like a snake
which entered into a house of a man and got killed by him.
The coward is the one who lets you walk, while carrying
arms, freely on his land and provides you with peace and
security.
Those youths are different from your
soldiers. Your problem will be how to convince your troops
to fight, while our problem will be how to restrain our
youths to wait for their turn in fighting and in operations.
These youths are commendation and praiseworthy.
They stood up tall to defend the
religion; at the time when the government misled the
prominent scholars and tricked them into issuing Fatwas
(that have no basis neither in the book of Allah, nor in the
Sunnah of His prophet (Allah's Blessings and Salutations may
be on him)) of opening the land of the two Holy Places for
the Christians armies and handing the Al-Aqsa Mosque to the
Zionists. Twisting the meanings of the holy text will not
change this fact at all. They deserve the praise of the
poet:
I rejected all the critics, who chose the
wrong way;
I rejected those who enjoy fireplaces in
clubs discussing eternally;
I rejected those, who inspite being lost,
think they are at the goal;
I respect those who carried on not asking
or bothering about the difficulties;
Never letting up from their goals,
inspite all hardships of the road;
Whose blood is the oil for the flame
guiding in the darkness of confusion;
I feel still the pain of (the loss)
Al-Quds in my internal organs;
That loss is like a burning fire in my
intestines;
I did not betray my covenant with God,
when even states did betray it! As their grandfather Assim
Bin Thabit said rejecting a surrender offer of the pagans:
What for an excuse I had to surrender,
while I am still able, having arrows and my bow having a
tough string?!
Death is truth and ultimate destiny, and
life will end any way. If I do not fight you, then my mother
must be insane!
The youths hold you responsible for all
of the killings and evictions of the Muslims and the
violation of the sanctities, carried out by your Zionist
brothers in Lebanon; you openly supplied them with arms and
finance. More than 600,000 Iraqi children have died due to
lack of food and medicine and as a result of the
unjustifiable aggression (sanction) imposed on Iraq and its
nation. The children of Iraq are our children. You, the USA,
together with the Saudi regime are responsible for the
shedding of the blood of these innocent children. Due to all
of that, what ever treaty you have with our country is now
null and void.
The treaty of Hudaybiyyah was cancelled
by the messenger of Allah (Allah's Blessings and Salutations
may be on him) once Quraysh had assisted Bani Bakr against
Khusa'ah, the allies of the prophet (Allah's Blessings and
Salutations may be on him). The prophet (Allah's Blessings
and Salutations may be on him) fought Quraysh and concurred
Makka. He (Allah's Blessings and Salutations may be on him)
considered the treaty with Bani Qainuqa' void because one of
their Jews publicly hurt one Muslim woman, one single woman,
at the market. Let alone then, the killing you caused to
hundred of thousands Muslims and occupying their sanctities.
It is now clear that those who claim that the blood of the
American solders (the enemy occupying the land of the
Muslims) should be protected are merely repeating what is
imposed on them by the regime; fearing the aggression and
interested in saving themselves. It is a duty now on every
tribe in the Arab Peninsula to fight, Jihad, in the cause of
Allah and to cleanse the land from those occupiers. Allah
knows that there blood is permitted (to be spilled) and
their wealth is a booty; their wealth is a booty to those
who kill them. The most Exalted said in the verse of
As-Sayef, The Sword: "so when the sacred months have passed
away, then slay the idolaters where ever you find them, and
take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them
in every ambush" (At-Tauba; 9:5). Our youths knew that the
humiliation suffered by the Muslims as a result of the
occupation of their sanctities can not be kicked and removed
except by explosions and Jihad. As the poet said:
The walls of oppression and humiliation
cannot be demolished except in a rain of bullets.
The freeman does not surrender leadership
to infidels and sinners.
Without shedding blood no degradation and
branding can be removed from the forehead.
I remind the youths of the Islamic world,
who fought in Afghanistan and Bosnia-Herzegovina with their
wealth, pens, tongues and themselves that the battle had not
finished yet. I remind them about the talk between Jibreel
(Gabriel) and the messenger of Allah (Allah's Blessings and
Salutations may be on both of them) after the battle of
Ahzab when the messenger of Allah (Allah's Blessings and
Salutations may be on him) returned to Medina and before
putting his sword aside; when Jibreel (Allah's Blessings and
Salutations may be on him) descend saying: "are you putting
your sword aside? by Allah the angels haven't dropped their
arms yet; march with your companions to Bani Quraydah, I am
(going) ahead of you to throw fears in their hearts and to
shake their fortresses on them". Jibreel marched with the
angels (Allah's Blessings and Salutations may be on them
all), followed by the messenger of Allah (Allah's Blessings
and Salutations may be on him) marching with the immigrants,
Muhajeroon, and supporters, Ansar. (narrated by Al-Bukhary).
These youths know that: if one is not to
be killed one will die (any way) and the most honourable
death is to be killed in the way of Allah. They are even
more determined after the martyrdom of the four heroes who
bombed the Americans in Riyadh. Those youths who raised high
the head of the Ummah and humiliated the Americans-the
occupier- by their operation in Riyadh. They remember the
poetry of Ja'far, the second commander in the battle of
Mu'tah, in which three thousand Muslims faced over a hundred
thousand Romans:
How good is the Paradise and its
nearness, good with cool drink But the Romans are promised
punishment (in Hell), if I meet them.
I will fight them.
And the poetry of Abdullah Bin Rawaha,
the third commander in the battle of Mu'tah, after the
martyrdom of Ja'far, when he felt some hesitation:
O my soul if you do not get killed, you
are going to die, anyway.
This is death pool in front of
you!
You are getting what you have wished for
(martyrdom) before, and you follow the example of the two
previous commanders you are rightly guided!
As for our daughters, wives, sisters and
mothers they should take prime example from the prophet
(Allah's Blessings and Salutations may be on him) pious
female companions, may Allah be pleased with them; they
should adopt the life style (Seerah) of the female
companions of courage, sacrifice and generosity in the cause
of the supremacy of Allah's religion.
They should remember the courage and the
personality of Fatima, daughter of Khatab, when she accepted
Islam and stood up in front of her brother, Omar Ibn
Al-Khatab and challenged him (before he became a Muslim)
saying: "O Omar , what will you do if the truth is not in
your religion?!" And to remember the stand of Asma',
daughter of Abu Bakr, on the day of Hijra, when she attended
the Messenger and his companion in the cave and split her
belt in two pieces for them. And to remember the stand of
Naseeba Bent Ka'b striving to defend the messenger of Allah
(Allah's Blessings and Salutations may be on him) on the day
of Uhud, in which she suffered twelve injuries, one of which
was so deep leaving a deep lifelong scar! They should
remember the generosity of the early woman of Islam who
raised finance for the Muslims army by selling their
jewelery.
Our women had set a tremendous example of
generosity in the cause of Allah; they motivated and
encouraged their sons, brothers and husbands to fight- in
the cause of Allah- in Afghanistan, Bosnia-Herzegovina,
Chechenia and in other countries. We ask Allah to accept
from them these deeds, and may He help their fathers,
brothers, husbands and sons. May Allah strengthen the belief
- Imaan - of our women in the way of generosity and
sacrifice for the supremacy of the word of Allah. Our women
weep not, except over men who fight in the cause of Allah;
our women instigate their brothers to fight in the cause of
Allah.
Our women bemoan only fighters in the
cause of Allah, as said:
Do not moan on any one except a lion in
the woods, courageous in the burning wars.
Let me die dignified in wars, honourable
death is better than my current life.
Our women encourage Jihad
saying:
Prepare yourself like a struggler, the
matter is bigger than words!
Are you going to leave us else for the
wolves of Kufr eating our wings?!
The wolves of Kufr are mobilising all
evil persons from every where!
Where are the freemen defending free
women by the arms?!
Death is better than life in humiliation!
Some scandals and shames will never be otherwise
eradicated.
My Muslim Brothers of The
World:
Your brothers in Palestine and in the
land of the two Holy Places are calling upon your help and
asking you to take part in fighting against the enemy --your
enemy and their enemy-- the Americans and the Israelis. they
are asking you to do whatever you can, with one own means
and ability, to expel the enemy, humiliated and defeated,
out of the sanctities of Islam. Exalted be to Allah said in
His book: { and if they ask your support, because they are
oppressed in their faith, then support them!} (Anfaal;
8:72)
O you horses (soldiers) of Allah ride and
march on. This is the time of hardship so be tough. And know
that your gathering and co-operation in order to liberate
the sanctities of Islam is the right step toward unifying
the word of the Ummah under the banner of "No God but Allah"
).
From our place we raise our palms humbly
to Allah asking Him to bestow on us His guide in every
aspects of this issue.
Our Lord, we ask you to secure the
release of the truthful scholars, Ulama, of Islam and pious
youths of the Ummah from their imprisonment. O Allah,
strengthen them and help their families.
Our Lord, the people of the cross had
come with their horses (soldiers) and occupied the land of
the two Holy places. And the Zionist Jews fiddling as they
wish with the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the route of the ascendance of
the messenger of Allah (ALLAH'S BLESSING AND SALUTATIONS ON
HIM). Our Lord, shatter their gathering, divide them among
themselves, shaken the earth under their feet and give us
control over them; Our Lord, we take refuge in you from
their deeds and take you as a shield between us and
them
Our Lord, show us a black day in
them!
Our Lord, show us the wonderment of your
ability in them!
Our Lord, You are the Revealer of the
book, Director of the clouds, You defeated the allies
(Ahzab); defeat them and make us victorious over them.
Our Lord, You are the one who help us and
You are the one who assist us, with Your Power we move and
by Your Power we fight. On You we rely and You are our
cause.
Our Lord, those youths got together to
make Your religion victorious and raise Your banner. Our
Lord, send them Your help and strengthen their hearts.
Our Lord, make the youths of Islam
steadfast and descend patience on them and guide their
shots!
Our Lord, unify the Muslims and bestow
love among their hearts!
O Lord pour down upon us patience, and
make our steps firm and assist us against the unbelieving
people!
Our Lord, do not lay on us a burden as
Thou didst lay on those before us; Our Lord, do not impose
upon us that which we have no strength to bear; and pardon
us and grant us protection and have mercy on us, Thou art
our patron, so help us against the unbelieving people.
Our Lord, guide this Ummah, and make the
right conditions (by which) the people of your obedience
will be in dignity and the people of disobedience in
humiliation, and by which the good deeds are enjoined and
the bad deeds are forebode.
Our Lord, bless Muhammad, Your slave and
messenger, his family and descendants, and companions and
salute him with a (becoming) salutation.
And our last supplication is: All praise
is due to Allah .
