Siraat Al-Mustaqeem
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
All praise be to Allah, we praise him, we seek his help, we seek his
forgiveness, and we repent to him for the evils of ourselves, and our evil
actions. If Allah intends to guide someone, none can misguide him, and if
Allah intends to make someone go astray, none can guide him. I bear witness
that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad (May the peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him) is his slave and messenger.
Nothing in life is easy except that Allah has made it easy, and no doubt Allah
can make the difficult easy if Allah wishes.
We are Muslims. We live for Islam, and die in its path. The situation of the
Muslim Ummah does not permit us to keep silent whilst Islam is being fought
throughout the world, nor can we stay calm whilst the waves of oppression are
devastating and striking in every direction.
O Muslims! Know that this Deen does not and will never die, and if it were to
die, it would have died the day its Messenger was expelled alone and isolated;
None was with him but his Lord and his companions, yet he migrated, gathered
the Muhajireen (Emigrants) and Ansaar (Helpers) around him, formed the Islamic
State, and strengthened its might.
Verily each and every one among us attests to the fact that one day the Angel
of death shall snatch our soul and every one of us will have a taste of death
by the order of Allah. This is a promise of Allah as he stated in The book of
guidance, the Qur'an:
"Say: The Angel of Death, who is set over you, Will take
your souls, Then you shall be brought to your Lord."
[As-Sajda:11]
By Allah! There is no gurantee in life except that gurantee that each and
every one of us entered this world with, which is that one day we will depart
this world at an unknown hour. In Ruins will be such a person, and a Great
looser will be such a person, on that day who fails the greatest test after
been given all the answers.
No doubt, the words of Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman were as ever explicit when he
described death:
"Death is a pursuer which does not grow weary of its pursuit, it
does not make a mistake, nor fail in its appointment. The staunch
one cannot weaken it, the fugitive cannot escape from it, and
remembrance of the convulsions during death is enough to make
the limbs tremble. Death is that which brings the giant to the
ground with the same ease with which it brings the dwarf down.
The people of authority are overcome by it just as the people of
subjugation are overcome. It is like a mill-stone which revolves
around the creation; A cup of it is passed around them - everyone
with a soul must drink of it and experience its taste. It is the
demolisher of enjoyment, the spoiler of lusts. Death is that which
splits the loved ones, and it continues in its path, it does not
stop and it does not care. It does not respond to the cries of the
overwhelmed and worried, to the sorrow of the separated ones, to
the wishes of the one who wishes, nor to the fear of the frightened.
Death is no delight for men, and yet they do not reflect on the
strength of this subduer which keeps on."
O Muslims! Fear is not for death itself, but rather what follows it. Remind
yourself of that dreadful day of judgement where you alone will be held
accountable for your actions. O Muslim! Remind yourself of that dreadful day
when your own limbs will bear witness against you. O Muslim! Remind yourself
of that dreadful day when Allah's anger will be unparallel. O Muslim! Remind
yourself of that dreadful day when terrible screams of terror and cries of
regret will be heard, and naked men and women in chains dragged by their
forelocks into a blazing fire like cattle being led to water will be seen.
The day when son will run from father and father will run from son, when
mother will run from children and children will run from mother. How dreadful
a sight it would be, people drowning in their sweat, chewing on their limbs,
the same cry will be heard over and over again, NAFSI! NAFSI!, MYSELF!
MYSELF!. Everyone will only care for themselves.
O Muslims! Let the words of Allah be a reminder to you:
"O Mankind! Be afraid of your Lord and fear a day when no father
can avail ought for his son, nor a son avail ought for his father.
Verily, the Promise of Allah is true, let not then this present
life deceive you, nor let the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you
about Allah."
[Luqmaan:33]
"That day shall a man flee from his brother, and from his mother
and his father, and from his wife and his children. Every man
that day will have enough to make him careless of others."
[Abasa:34-37]
What a deception this world is, and what a great deception Shaitan has
prepared. We live our lives as though this world is our permanent abode, when
we were warned:
"The passage through this world is only a brief part of a journey,
like a rider who comes to a tree, rests under it for a moment or
two, and then continues on his or her journey."
O Muslims! You live your life each day as though its going to last forever.
By Allah! There will come a time after you perish, you will be questioned
about the length of your wordly life and surely you will reply.... "it was
maybe a day or half a day."
O Muslims! Do you know the true value of this world that we run after each
day? By Allah! No doubt, its worth less than the wing of a lame mosquito, as
our beloved Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
"If the value of the world was equal to that of the wing of a
mosquito, by Allah! He would not have allowed any kaafir even a
drink of water from it."
[Tirmidhi]
What a great deception the Ummah is engulfed in today, that we let the chief
deceiver deceive us and forget our obligations to Allah. Allah says:
"O Mankind! Verily the promise of Allah is true, so do not let
this present life deceive you, and do not let the chief deceiver
deceive you about Allah. Surely Shaitan is an enemy to you, so
treat him as an enemy, he only invites his followers, that they
may become dwellers of the blazing fire."
[Faatir:5-6]
O Muslim! Know that you will never attain salvation unless and until Allah is
pleased with you. As slaves of Allah, it is our duty to perform such actions
that Allah is Most pleased with. Perhaps then, by the mercy of Allah, we can
hope to attain salvation. Who is Allah most pleased with? Besides the
Prophets of Allah, I have not found, in the book of Allah nor in any book of
Ahadith nor in the writings of any righteous scholar, a person more beloved to
Allah than the Mujahid or the Martyr.
Narrated Abu Saeed Khudri: A man visited the Messenger of Allah
(may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said,
"O Messenger of Allah, Who is the best person among all the
human beings?" The Prophet replied, "A believer who carries on
Jihad with his life and wealth for the sake of Allah." The man
again asked, "And who after him?" The Prophet replied, "A Muslim
who retires to one of the valleys and prays to Allah and does not
harm the people."
[Bukhari,Muslim]
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to the Messenger of Allah (may
the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, "Instruct
me as to such a deed as equals Jihad. He replied, "I do not find
such a deed."
[Bukhari]
Narrated Anas Bin Malik: The Prophet (may the peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him) said: "To spend one morning or evening
carrying out Jihad for the cause of Allah is better than the whole
world and whatever it contains."
[Bukhari,Muslim]
And Allah says in the Qur'an:
"Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except
those who are disabled, and those who strive hard and fight in
the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has
preferred in grades those who strive hard and fight with their
wealth and their lives above those who sit (at home). Unto each,
Allah has promised good (paradise), but Allah has preferred those
who strive hard and fight, above those who sit (at home) by a huge
reward; Degrees of (higher) grades from Him, and forgiveness and
mercy. And Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
[Nisaa:95-96]
When will the Muslim Ummah realize that the blood of Muslims has become
worthless? The Ummah is in a humiliating condition because we became cowards
and abandoned Jihad. We became an Ummah of slogans and pamphlets. Everything
has become intellectual and metaphorical while the Kuffar are taking the real
world from under our feet.
By Allah! How true the words of the beloved of Allah have become infront of
our eyes, as he foretold us about the current condition of the Ummah saying:
"Beware a time is coming when all nations of the world will gather
together to wipe you out the way they gather together around a
table to partake of its meal." His companion said "Will we be so
few in number that day, O Messenger of Allah? The Prophet (may
the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied "No, on that
day you will be many in number but you will be guthar (like the
froth on the surface of the water after a flood) and Allah will
take from the hearts of the Kuffar respect for you and fear of
you and Allah will cast Wahan into your hearts." The companion
asked "What is Wahan?". The Prophet (may the peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him) replied "Love for this world and hatred of
death."
O Muslim Youth! Hear me well! Verily the time has come for us to wake up and
defend Islam. The religon of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and
blessing of Allah be upon him) is being attacked by the enemies of Allah and
his Messenger. By Allah! They hate the Iman that exists in our hearts. They
will never be happy with us unless and until we denounce our Kalima.
O Youth of Islam! Stop living your lives as slaves of society, and know that
we are only the slaves of Allah! O Youth of Islam! Why have you become
enemies of yourselves? O Youth of Islam! When will you wake up?
By Allah! We have slept long enough for the Serbs to slaughter over a million
of our brothers and sisters in Bosnia, We have slept long enough for the
Americans and their allies to murder over half a million children in Iraq, We
have slept long enough for tens of thousands of our brothers and sisters in
Chechnya to be murdered and tortured. O Youth of the Ummah of Muhammad! Know
that at this moment there are wives, mothers, and daughters of this Ummah
being raped and slain by the hindus is Kashmir.
O Youth of Islam! Does not your blood boil knowing that the filthy enemies of
Allah and his Messenger are raping your sisters?
O Youth of Islam! Where were you when your baby brothers were being gassed to
death in Palestine by Jews? Where were you when your baby sisters were shot
in the head in Palestine by Jews? Where were you when pregnant mothers of
this Ummah had their bellies cut open alive by infidel soldiers in Bosnia,
Kashmir, Chechnya, and Palestine?
O Sons of Islam! While you slept, such great oppression took place in lands of
Muslims. Iron rods were placed into the private parts of young Muslim girls
and then bullets were shot. The innocent girls of this Ummah were raped and
murdered. Sisters were stripped infront of her brothers, mothers were raped
infront of her sons and wives were raped infront of their husbands.
O Deceived Ummah! Did Allah not remind us of our obligation in the Qur'an:
"And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the cause of
Allah, and for those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men,
women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from
this town whose people are oppressors; And raise for us from you
one who will protect, and raise for us from you one who will help."
[An-Nisaa:75]
O Muslims! Know that the verses of Surah At-Taubah reveal the final rulings of
Jihad until the Day of Judgement. By Allah! Pain and sorrow fills my heart
when I see my inability and the unwillingness of all Muslims to fight for the
cause of Allah.
O Deceived Ummah! Hearken the words of Allah as He said:
"March forth whether you are light or heavy and make Jihad with
your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah. This is better
for you, if you but knew."
[At-Tauba:41]
"O you who believe! What is the matter with you that when you
are asked to march forward in the cause of Allah you cling heavily
to the earth? Are you pleased with the life of this world rather
than the hereafter? But little is the enjoyment of the life of this
world as compared with the hereafter."
[At-Tauba:38]
The Messenger of Allah (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
"Whosoever's feet were covered with the dust in the path of Jihad,
the fire of hell will not touch him."
[Bukhari]
And the Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said:
"Verily the standing of a man in the battle line for the cause of
Allah is better than seventy years of worship amongst his family."
[Tirmidhi,Baihaqi]
Who are we to make excuses when Allah has made it clear:
"People who are making excuses for not fighting in the way of Allah
are mocking and ridiculing the religon of Allah and we are ordered
to avoid them leave alone those who take their religon to be mere
play and amusement."
[Al-Anaam:70]
O Muslims! Jihad is your life, your dignity and your existance depend on it.
By Allah! Those who believe that Islam can flourish and be victorious without
Jihad, fighting, and blood indeed are illusioned and do not understand the
nature of this religon. The prestige of preachers, the influence of Islam,
the dignity of Muslims, cannot and will not be attained without Jihad.
And Allah says:
"And were it not for Allah repelling some people by means of
another, the earth would have been filled with corruption, but
Allah is bounteous to the worlds."
[Al-Baqarah:251]
O Muslims! Know that without Jihad, Shirk (joining partners with Allah) will
spread and become dominant, for Allah says:
"And fight them until there is no more Fitna (disbelief and
worshipping of others along with Allah) and (all and every kind
of) worship is for Allah (Alone). But if they cease, let there
be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun (the polytheists,
and wrong doers)."
[Al-Baqarah:193]
By Allah! I swear in the name of him in whose hands my life is, We have
neglected the words of Allah for too long; Long enough for the Kuffar to
dominate us. What would be our condition today, Had we recognized the orders
of Allah when he commanded us:
"Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands
and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the
breasts of a believing people."
[At-Taubah:14]
"And fight the disbelievers all together as they fight you all
together, but know that Allah is with those who are the pious."
[At-Taubah:36]
"Then when the forbidden months are passed then fight and slay
the disbelievers wherever you find them, and capture them and
beseige them, and prepare for them each and every ambush. But
if they repent and perform regular prayers and pay Zakat, then
open the way for them. For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
[At-Taubah:5]
O Youth of Islam! Learn a lesson from the loss of Andalusia, and do not allow
for this loss to occur in Afghanistan. By Allah! The loss of Andalusia is a
deep wound on the heart of this Ummah. O sons of Islam! Do not let the
atrocities of Bosnia, Chechnya, Kashmir, and Palestine reoccur in Afghanistan.
O Youth of the Ummah of Muhammad! Let me remind you that Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn
Taymiyya said "Next to Iman, Nothing is more obligatory than deterring the
agressor enemy who destroys Islam and the well-being of Muslims."
O Youth of Islam! The land of Islam, the land of Muslims, the land of people
who believe in the oneness of Allah and his last Messenger has been invaded by
the filthy enemies of Allah. Afghanistan has been invaded.
O Youth of Islam! Hear me well, and do not forget these words; If the Kuffar
attack an Islamic country, then it will become Fardh-e-Ain on the inhabitants
of that country to do Jihad. If the Muslims of that country are not
sufficient and require help, then it becomes Fardh-e-Ain on the next country,
and if they are weak or lazy then Jihad becomes Fardh-e-Ain on the next
country etc... Until it becomes Fardh-e-Ain on the whole world, from East to
West. The definition of Fardh-e-Ain is that it is compulsory, and in the case
of Jihad becoming Fardh-e-Ain there is no need for the permission of parents
or the advice of anyone. Therefore Jihad becomes Fardh-e-Ain when the Kuffar
attack a Muslim land, or if they take Muslim captive or when Muslims face the
Kuffar in rows in the battlefield. The ruling of Fardh-e-Ain is that whoever
will leave it becomes a Fasiq (grave sinner).
By Allah! No doubt, Ameer Ul-Mu'mineen, Mullah Muhammad Umar has called out to
Muslims throughout the whole world to come to the defence of Afghanistan. And
he has said to the youth of Islam:
"Oh Muslim youth, Your priority is Jihad and preparation, and
preparing that steel for fire, as Allah says: 'then slay the
idolators wherever you find them, and take them captives and
besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush.'"
Based on this call for Jihad being made to Muslims throughout the world to
come to the defence of Afghanistan with their lives and their wealth, Jihad
has become Fardh-e-Ain on Muslims throughout the world.
O Muslims! Let me inform you of the verdict of the Martyr Sheikh Abdullah
Azzam (the Mujaddid who revived Jihad in this century) concerning Jihad when
he said:
"I believe that no permission is required to fight in the path of
Allah, not the permission of the parents, husband, teacher or Amir.
And this is the concensus of all Ulema (scholars) throughout
history. When Jihad is compulsory, a son must fight even without
the permission of his parents, a wife must fight even without
the permission of the husband. And anyone who tries to deny this
clear ruling has exceeded his limits and followed his desires and
wishes with no guidance from Allah."
O Muslims! Do not be delusional and think that your voluntary Ibadah (worship)
is comparable and can somehow compensate and absolve you from Jihad. By
Allah! Can the blood of a Mujahid be comparable to the tears of one in
Tahajjud? Never! While you wake each morning expecting to taste breakfast, a
Mujahid wakes hoping to taste Martyrdom. How true were the words of Abdullah
Ibn Mubarak in his letter to Al-Fudayl Ibn Iyaadh in which he said:
"Oh you who offer prayer in the sacred mosque!
Had you witnessed us in the battlefield
you would know that, compared to our Jihad,
your worship is child's play.
For every tear you have shed upon your cheek,
We have shed in its place blood upon our chests.
You are playing with your worship,
While worshippers offer your worship,
Mujahideen offer their blood and life."
O Deceived Ummah! Know that our beloved Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) personally participated in 27 battles in his
life. I beg to ask, If the beloved of Allah was not absolved from Jihad, How
can you be deceived into thinking that you are absolved of this obligation?
O Youth of Islam! Do not be scared of Martyrdom. By Allah! If only we
realized the status of a martyr, none of us would want to leave this world but
as a martyr. The Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
stated:
"The Martyr feels not the pain of killing except like a pinch."
[Tirmidhi]
The Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stated:
"The Martyr is granted seven gifts from Allah:"
1. He is forgiven at the first drop of his blood.
2. He sees his status in Jannah.
3. He is dressed in the clothes of Iman.
4. He is safe from the punishment of the grave.
5. He will be safe from the great fear of the day of Judgement.
6. A crown of honour will be placed on his head.
7. He will intercede on behalf of 70 members of his family.
[Musnad Ahmad,Tabrani]
O Youth of Islam! Know that there are many types of Martyrs, but one of them
is very special with Allah. Ponder over the next Hadith for a moment:
In a long Hadith narrated by Anas Bin Malik, the Prophet
(may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) described
three types of Martyrs, and said:
"The third type of Martyr is he who set out for Jihad, with
his life and wealth intending reward and he is determined
to kill or to be killed. If he is killed or dies he will
come on the Day of Judgement with his sword on his shoulders
while the people will be crawling on their knees. He will
ask them, 'will you not make way for us, as we have sacrificed
our blood and wealth for Allah.'" The Prophet continued,
"I swear by the One in whose hands my life is, If this person
was to say this to Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) or any
other Prophet, they would also make way for him recognizing
their duty. These Martyrs will walk up to the pulpits of noor
(light) beneath the Arsh (Throne) of Allah and they will sit
there and observe the judgement of the people taking place.
The sorrow of death will not reach them, nor the difficulty
of the grave, nor will the blowing of the trumpet make them
fear. They will not worry about their judgement, not the
crossing of the bridge Siraat. They will observe the judgement
being carried out and whatever they will ask will be given to
them. Their intercession on behalf of anybody will be accepted.
Whatever they request from Jannah (Paradise) will be given to
them and whatever place they will choose in Jannah will be their
abode.
[Baihaqi,Bazzaz]
By Allah! O Youth of Islam! If only we realized who is awaiting the Martyr, we
would pursue nothing but Martyrdom. How can we let our love of this life hold
us back from our reunion with one created from light? How sweet a description
was given by the Mujahid Sheikh Ibn Nuhaas when he said:
"Raised in the shade of palaces with youths and maidens,
in the abode of luxuries and happiness, By Allah! the blood
of a Martyr does not dry but that he has met her. His eyes
delight in witnessing her glow, wide eyed, beautiful, exquisite,
virgin, as if she were a Ruby! No man or jinn has had sexual
intercourse with her before you, her speech soft, her figure
correct, her hair uniform in colour, her virility immense,
her eyelids flitter. Her beauty is dazzling and radiant, her
glance darkened with Kohl, beautiful her elegance, sweet her
speech, marvellous her creation, splendid her manners, glowingly
adorned, most gorgeous of things lawful, full of love, free of
boredom, her glance created only for looking at you, so she
does not look at any except you. She loves for you everything
that your desires desire. If a nail of hers was to become
apparent, the light of the full moon would be completely
extinguished and if her bracelet was to become apparent during
the night, there would remain no darkness in the creation.
Were that her wrist would to become apparent the whole of mankind
would become enthralled and were that she would look between
the earth and the sky, it would fill between the two a fragrance.
Were that she would spit into the sea, it would turn to
freshwater. Everytime you glance towards her she is enhanced
in your eye in splendour and everytime you sit with her , her
beauty is increased with beauty."
By Allah! O Youth of Islam! Is it befitting of a person of intelligence that
he hears of her and then sits back from reunion with her? O Youth! Know that
for the Martyr in paradise are wide-eyed maidens like her and more like her!
O Youth! Have you forgotten your history? By Allah! There once was a time
when the mention of the name of your Muslim Commanders was enough to make the
enemies of Allah and his Messenger tremble. There once was a time when
meeting your Muslim Commanders with their armies of Mujahideen was the worst
nightmare of the enemies of Allah and his Messenger.
O Youth of the Ummah of Muhammad! Shall I inform you of Salah Al-Din Yusuf
Bin Ayub? Even as a child he was a scholar whose thoughts of Jihad consumed
his focus. By Allah! He grew up to be one of the greatest soldiers of Allah.
He could not stand knowing that Jerusalem was in the hands of the filthy
enemies of Allah and his Messenger, so he trained an army ready to take on the
crusaders. After a three month battle, He captured Jerusalem and brought a
humiliating defeat and destruction upon the crusaders.
No Doubt, there was a time when mothers in Europe would scare their children
to sleep at night telling them "Saladin is coming! Saladin is coming!"
O Youth of Islam! Shall I inform you of Usama Bin Zaid? By Allah! He was
only seventeen years old when the Prophet of Allah made him the commander of a
powerful army and dispatched it to Ghassan to avenge the defeat of the battle
of Mu'ta. Muslim historians record that in this expedition Abu Bakr Siddique,
and Omar Farooq were under the command of Usama Bin Zaid.
O Youth of Islam! Shall I inform you of Muhammad Bin Qasim? No doubt, he was
among the most brilliant sons of Islam. By Allah! He was only seventeen when
he was the commander of an army dispatched by Hajjaj Bin Yusuf, the viceroy of
Iraq, on orders of the Khalifah to the area of Pakistan. Indeed this young
soldier of Allah became the pioneer of the Muslim conquest of the Indian
sub-continent.
O Youth of Islam! Shall I inform you of Tariq Bin Ziad? Verily the Ummah of
Muhammad has not seen anyone like him! This young Muslim general landed with
his soldiers on the coast of Spain, and he ordered the boats in which they had
crossed the Mediterranean to be burnt, so that there remained no possibility
of retreat. After the command had been carried out, he addressed his troops
in these memorable words:
"There is no escape now. The sea is behind you and the enemy
is in front. By Allah! You have nothing to depend upon except
your own courage and fortitude."
Following in the example of his beloved Prophet, this young soldier of Allah
made a special Dua (supplication), the contents of which are unparallel, but
seldom made by Muslim commanders today. The Dua of this young brave soldier
of Allah was accepted and the Muslims gained a magnificient victory.
Christian Spain became Islamic Andalusia and a strong Muslim kingdom was
established that lasted for eight hundred years.
O Sons of Islam! Know that men are made in the battlefields and nowhere else.
It is our responsibility to protect the honour of every Muslim woman being
violated throughout the world, and it is our responsibility to defend Muslims
whose blood is being shed unjustly. Do not ever expect the so-called "Muslim"
governments existant today to come to your aid. They have sold their souls to
Shaitan, and their hearts have become the likes of pigs and monkeys, While
happily helping the Kuffar slaughter innocent Muslims, and then justifying the
killing of those innocent Muslims as acceptable. I say to them, "O you Pig!
and O you Monkey! We already knew about your true nature as our beloved
Prophet already told us that groups of such people will arise among my Ummah
who will consider Unlawful things Lawful and Allah will transform them into
Pigs and Monkeys!
By Allah! There was a time when One Muslim sister was abused in a Roman city
and she shouted "Wa Mutasim Billah". These words reached the Khalifah Mutasim
Billah and he immediately called the emergency sixth Azan in the Masjid, and
all of the Muslims gathered in the Masjid. Khalifah Mutasim Billah said: "A
report has reached me that one Muslim woman was abused in a Roman City. I
swear in the name of Allah, I will send an army so Great that when its first
soldiers reach them, its last soldiers will still be leaving our base. Tell
me of the strongest city of these Romans and I will send the army to that
city." O Sons of Islam! This was the action taken when the honour of One
Muslim woman was touched.
O Muslims! After reading what I have presented before you, I beg to ask, Is
there any amongst us who think they are not liable to make Hijra, prepare in
Jihad, and defend Afghanistan?
Without doubt, I admit that I have no excuse for not fulfilling this
obligation to Allah. Verily I am a great criminal in the court of Allah.
What is your excuse? If you're not disabled, then you have no excuse either.
You are also a criminal in the court of Allah. By Allah! We are both
criminals in the court of Allah. May Allah have mercy on us, What will become
of us on the Day of Judgement?
O Muslims! This Ummah has slept for a long time, long enough for tyrants to
take control over us. We have accepted to live as slaves and submitted to
tyrants. Now the time has come to revolt and destroy the shackle of slavery.
O Muslim Women! I wish to pass on to you a beautiful peice of advice that the
Martyr Sheikh Abdullah Azzam said to women:
"O you Muslim Women! Beware of extravagance, for it is the
enemy of Jihad and it causes the death of the human soul.
Beware of complementary commodities and stick to the basic
necessities. Bring up your children to be brave and courageous.
Let your houses be places for Lions not Chicken farms in which
your sons will be fed then slaughtered by tyrants like sheep.
Instill in the hearts of your sons the love for Jihad and the
love of battlefields. Share the problems of the Muslim Ummah.
Live one day a week like refugees and Mujahideen live; They
live on dry bread and tea."
O Muslims! The current situation surrounding the Ummah is indicating that the
sequence of dreadful battles before the end of the world, as foretold by
Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) in Ahadith
are about to begin. Verily this volcano of battles is about to erupt. Know
that the Prophet foretold that in the end the final victory will be for the
Muslims and Islam will be dominant all over the world!
My sins are many, and good deeds little. Jihad is my door to Jannah, and
Martyrdom is its key. True were the words of a great Mujahid who said, "The
world has been divided into two camps. One of Iman, and another of Kufr."
O Sons of Islam! Who will join me so together, Inshallah, we can build a
coalition of Iman and root out Kufr?
Your Brother in Islam,
Slave of Allah.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
All praise be to Allah, we praise him, we seek his help, we seek his
forgiveness, and we repent to him for the evils of ourselves, and our evil
actions. If Allah intends to guide someone, none can misguide him, and if
Allah intends to make someone go astray, none can guide him. I bear witness
that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad (May the peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him) is his slave and messenger.
Nothing in life is easy except that Allah has made it easy, and no doubt Allah
can make the difficult easy if Allah wishes.
We are Muslims. We live for Islam, and die in its path. The situation of the
Muslim Ummah does not permit us to keep silent whilst Islam is being fought
throughout the world, nor can we stay calm whilst the waves of oppression are
devastating and striking in every direction.
O Muslims! Know that this Deen does not and will never die, and if it were to
die, it would have died the day its Messenger was expelled alone and isolated;
None was with him but his Lord and his companions, yet he migrated, gathered
the Muhajireen (Emigrants) and Ansaar (Helpers) around him, formed the Islamic
State, and strengthened its might.
Verily each and every one among us attests to the fact that one day the Angel
of death shall snatch our soul and every one of us will have a taste of death
by the order of Allah. This is a promise of Allah as he stated in The book of
guidance, the Qur'an:
"Say: The Angel of Death, who is set over you, Will take
your souls, Then you shall be brought to your Lord."
[As-Sajda:11]
By Allah! There is no gurantee in life except that gurantee that each and
every one of us entered this world with, which is that one day we will depart
this world at an unknown hour. In Ruins will be such a person, and a Great
looser will be such a person, on that day who fails the greatest test after
been given all the answers.
No doubt, the words of Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman were as ever explicit when he
described death:
"Death is a pursuer which does not grow weary of its pursuit, it
does not make a mistake, nor fail in its appointment. The staunch
one cannot weaken it, the fugitive cannot escape from it, and
remembrance of the convulsions during death is enough to make
the limbs tremble. Death is that which brings the giant to the
ground with the same ease with which it brings the dwarf down.
The people of authority are overcome by it just as the people of
subjugation are overcome. It is like a mill-stone which revolves
around the creation; A cup of it is passed around them - everyone
with a soul must drink of it and experience its taste. It is the
demolisher of enjoyment, the spoiler of lusts. Death is that which
splits the loved ones, and it continues in its path, it does not
stop and it does not care. It does not respond to the cries of the
overwhelmed and worried, to the sorrow of the separated ones, to
the wishes of the one who wishes, nor to the fear of the frightened.
Death is no delight for men, and yet they do not reflect on the
strength of this subduer which keeps on."
O Muslims! Fear is not for death itself, but rather what follows it. Remind
yourself of that dreadful day of judgement where you alone will be held
accountable for your actions. O Muslim! Remind yourself of that dreadful day
when your own limbs will bear witness against you. O Muslim! Remind yourself
of that dreadful day when Allah's anger will be unparallel. O Muslim! Remind
yourself of that dreadful day when terrible screams of terror and cries of
regret will be heard, and naked men and women in chains dragged by their
forelocks into a blazing fire like cattle being led to water will be seen.
The day when son will run from father and father will run from son, when
mother will run from children and children will run from mother. How dreadful
a sight it would be, people drowning in their sweat, chewing on their limbs,
the same cry will be heard over and over again, NAFSI! NAFSI!, MYSELF!
MYSELF!. Everyone will only care for themselves.
O Muslims! Let the words of Allah be a reminder to you:
"O Mankind! Be afraid of your Lord and fear a day when no father
can avail ought for his son, nor a son avail ought for his father.
Verily, the Promise of Allah is true, let not then this present
life deceive you, nor let the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you
about Allah."
[Luqmaan:33]
"That day shall a man flee from his brother, and from his mother
and his father, and from his wife and his children. Every man
that day will have enough to make him careless of others."
[Abasa:34-37]
What a deception this world is, and what a great deception Shaitan has
prepared. We live our lives as though this world is our permanent abode, when
we were warned:
"The passage through this world is only a brief part of a journey,
like a rider who comes to a tree, rests under it for a moment or
two, and then continues on his or her journey."
O Muslims! You live your life each day as though its going to last forever.
By Allah! There will come a time after you perish, you will be questioned
about the length of your wordly life and surely you will reply.... "it was
maybe a day or half a day."
O Muslims! Do you know the true value of this world that we run after each
day? By Allah! No doubt, its worth less than the wing of a lame mosquito, as
our beloved Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
"If the value of the world was equal to that of the wing of a
mosquito, by Allah! He would not have allowed any kaafir even a
drink of water from it."
[Tirmidhi]
What a great deception the Ummah is engulfed in today, that we let the chief
deceiver deceive us and forget our obligations to Allah. Allah says:
"O Mankind! Verily the promise of Allah is true, so do not let
this present life deceive you, and do not let the chief deceiver
deceive you about Allah. Surely Shaitan is an enemy to you, so
treat him as an enemy, he only invites his followers, that they
may become dwellers of the blazing fire."
[Faatir:5-6]
O Muslim! Know that you will never attain salvation unless and until Allah is
pleased with you. As slaves of Allah, it is our duty to perform such actions
that Allah is Most pleased with. Perhaps then, by the mercy of Allah, we can
hope to attain salvation. Who is Allah most pleased with? Besides the
Prophets of Allah, I have not found, in the book of Allah nor in any book of
Ahadith nor in the writings of any righteous scholar, a person more beloved to
Allah than the Mujahid or the Martyr.
Narrated Abu Saeed Khudri: A man visited the Messenger of Allah
(may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said,
"O Messenger of Allah, Who is the best person among all the
human beings?" The Prophet replied, "A believer who carries on
Jihad with his life and wealth for the sake of Allah." The man
again asked, "And who after him?" The Prophet replied, "A Muslim
who retires to one of the valleys and prays to Allah and does not
harm the people."
[Bukhari,Muslim]
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to the Messenger of Allah (may
the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, "Instruct
me as to such a deed as equals Jihad. He replied, "I do not find
such a deed."
[Bukhari]
Narrated Anas Bin Malik: The Prophet (may the peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him) said: "To spend one morning or evening
carrying out Jihad for the cause of Allah is better than the whole
world and whatever it contains."
[Bukhari,Muslim]
And Allah says in the Qur'an:
"Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except
those who are disabled, and those who strive hard and fight in
the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has
preferred in grades those who strive hard and fight with their
wealth and their lives above those who sit (at home). Unto each,
Allah has promised good (paradise), but Allah has preferred those
who strive hard and fight, above those who sit (at home) by a huge
reward; Degrees of (higher) grades from Him, and forgiveness and
mercy. And Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
[Nisaa:95-96]
When will the Muslim Ummah realize that the blood of Muslims has become
worthless? The Ummah is in a humiliating condition because we became cowards
and abandoned Jihad. We became an Ummah of slogans and pamphlets. Everything
has become intellectual and metaphorical while the Kuffar are taking the real
world from under our feet.
By Allah! How true the words of the beloved of Allah have become infront of
our eyes, as he foretold us about the current condition of the Ummah saying:
"Beware a time is coming when all nations of the world will gather
together to wipe you out the way they gather together around a
table to partake of its meal." His companion said "Will we be so
few in number that day, O Messenger of Allah? The Prophet (may
the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied "No, on that
day you will be many in number but you will be guthar (like the
froth on the surface of the water after a flood) and Allah will
take from the hearts of the Kuffar respect for you and fear of
you and Allah will cast Wahan into your hearts." The companion
asked "What is Wahan?". The Prophet (may the peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him) replied "Love for this world and hatred of
death."
O Muslim Youth! Hear me well! Verily the time has come for us to wake up and
defend Islam. The religon of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and
blessing of Allah be upon him) is being attacked by the enemies of Allah and
his Messenger. By Allah! They hate the Iman that exists in our hearts. They
will never be happy with us unless and until we denounce our Kalima.
O Youth of Islam! Stop living your lives as slaves of society, and know that
we are only the slaves of Allah! O Youth of Islam! Why have you become
enemies of yourselves? O Youth of Islam! When will you wake up?
By Allah! We have slept long enough for the Serbs to slaughter over a million
of our brothers and sisters in Bosnia, We have slept long enough for the
Americans and their allies to murder over half a million children in Iraq, We
have slept long enough for tens of thousands of our brothers and sisters in
Chechnya to be murdered and tortured. O Youth of the Ummah of Muhammad! Know
that at this moment there are wives, mothers, and daughters of this Ummah
being raped and slain by the hindus is Kashmir.
O Youth of Islam! Does not your blood boil knowing that the filthy enemies of
Allah and his Messenger are raping your sisters?
O Youth of Islam! Where were you when your baby brothers were being gassed to
death in Palestine by Jews? Where were you when your baby sisters were shot
in the head in Palestine by Jews? Where were you when pregnant mothers of
this Ummah had their bellies cut open alive by infidel soldiers in Bosnia,
Kashmir, Chechnya, and Palestine?
O Sons of Islam! While you slept, such great oppression took place in lands of
Muslims. Iron rods were placed into the private parts of young Muslim girls
and then bullets were shot. The innocent girls of this Ummah were raped and
murdered. Sisters were stripped infront of her brothers, mothers were raped
infront of her sons and wives were raped infront of their husbands.
O Deceived Ummah! Did Allah not remind us of our obligation in the Qur'an:
"And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the cause of
Allah, and for those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men,
women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from
this town whose people are oppressors; And raise for us from you
one who will protect, and raise for us from you one who will help."
[An-Nisaa:75]
O Muslims! Know that the verses of Surah At-Taubah reveal the final rulings of
Jihad until the Day of Judgement. By Allah! Pain and sorrow fills my heart
when I see my inability and the unwillingness of all Muslims to fight for the
cause of Allah.
O Deceived Ummah! Hearken the words of Allah as He said:
"March forth whether you are light or heavy and make Jihad with
your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah. This is better
for you, if you but knew."
[At-Tauba:41]
"O you who believe! What is the matter with you that when you
are asked to march forward in the cause of Allah you cling heavily
to the earth? Are you pleased with the life of this world rather
than the hereafter? But little is the enjoyment of the life of this
world as compared with the hereafter."
[At-Tauba:38]
The Messenger of Allah (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
"Whosoever's feet were covered with the dust in the path of Jihad,
the fire of hell will not touch him."
[Bukhari]
And the Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said:
"Verily the standing of a man in the battle line for the cause of
Allah is better than seventy years of worship amongst his family."
[Tirmidhi,Baihaqi]
Who are we to make excuses when Allah has made it clear:
"People who are making excuses for not fighting in the way of Allah
are mocking and ridiculing the religon of Allah and we are ordered
to avoid them leave alone those who take their religon to be mere
play and amusement."
[Al-Anaam:70]
O Muslims! Jihad is your life, your dignity and your existance depend on it.
By Allah! Those who believe that Islam can flourish and be victorious without
Jihad, fighting, and blood indeed are illusioned and do not understand the
nature of this religon. The prestige of preachers, the influence of Islam,
the dignity of Muslims, cannot and will not be attained without Jihad.
And Allah says:
"And were it not for Allah repelling some people by means of
another, the earth would have been filled with corruption, but
Allah is bounteous to the worlds."
[Al-Baqarah:251]
O Muslims! Know that without Jihad, Shirk (joining partners with Allah) will
spread and become dominant, for Allah says:
"And fight them until there is no more Fitna (disbelief and
worshipping of others along with Allah) and (all and every kind
of) worship is for Allah (Alone). But if they cease, let there
be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun (the polytheists,
and wrong doers)."
[Al-Baqarah:193]
By Allah! I swear in the name of him in whose hands my life is, We have
neglected the words of Allah for too long; Long enough for the Kuffar to
dominate us. What would be our condition today, Had we recognized the orders
of Allah when he commanded us:
"Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands
and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the
breasts of a believing people."
[At-Taubah:14]
"And fight the disbelievers all together as they fight you all
together, but know that Allah is with those who are the pious."
[At-Taubah:36]
"Then when the forbidden months are passed then fight and slay
the disbelievers wherever you find them, and capture them and
beseige them, and prepare for them each and every ambush. But
if they repent and perform regular prayers and pay Zakat, then
open the way for them. For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
[At-Taubah:5]
O Youth of Islam! Learn a lesson from the loss of Andalusia, and do not allow
for this loss to occur in Afghanistan. By Allah! The loss of Andalusia is a
deep wound on the heart of this Ummah. O sons of Islam! Do not let the
atrocities of Bosnia, Chechnya, Kashmir, and Palestine reoccur in Afghanistan.
O Youth of the Ummah of Muhammad! Let me remind you that Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn
Taymiyya said "Next to Iman, Nothing is more obligatory than deterring the
agressor enemy who destroys Islam and the well-being of Muslims."
O Youth of Islam! The land of Islam, the land of Muslims, the land of people
who believe in the oneness of Allah and his last Messenger has been invaded by
the filthy enemies of Allah. Afghanistan has been invaded.
O Youth of Islam! Hear me well, and do not forget these words; If the Kuffar
attack an Islamic country, then it will become Fardh-e-Ain on the inhabitants
of that country to do Jihad. If the Muslims of that country are not
sufficient and require help, then it becomes Fardh-e-Ain on the next country,
and if they are weak or lazy then Jihad becomes Fardh-e-Ain on the next
country etc... Until it becomes Fardh-e-Ain on the whole world, from East to
West. The definition of Fardh-e-Ain is that it is compulsory, and in the case
of Jihad becoming Fardh-e-Ain there is no need for the permission of parents
or the advice of anyone. Therefore Jihad becomes Fardh-e-Ain when the Kuffar
attack a Muslim land, or if they take Muslim captive or when Muslims face the
Kuffar in rows in the battlefield. The ruling of Fardh-e-Ain is that whoever
will leave it becomes a Fasiq (grave sinner).
By Allah! No doubt, Ameer Ul-Mu'mineen, Mullah Muhammad Umar has called out to
Muslims throughout the whole world to come to the defence of Afghanistan. And
he has said to the youth of Islam:
"Oh Muslim youth, Your priority is Jihad and preparation, and
preparing that steel for fire, as Allah says: 'then slay the
idolators wherever you find them, and take them captives and
besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush.'"
Based on this call for Jihad being made to Muslims throughout the world to
come to the defence of Afghanistan with their lives and their wealth, Jihad
has become Fardh-e-Ain on Muslims throughout the world.
O Muslims! Let me inform you of the verdict of the Martyr Sheikh Abdullah
Azzam (the Mujaddid who revived Jihad in this century) concerning Jihad when
he said:
"I believe that no permission is required to fight in the path of
Allah, not the permission of the parents, husband, teacher or Amir.
And this is the concensus of all Ulema (scholars) throughout
history. When Jihad is compulsory, a son must fight even without
the permission of his parents, a wife must fight even without
the permission of the husband. And anyone who tries to deny this
clear ruling has exceeded his limits and followed his desires and
wishes with no guidance from Allah."
O Muslims! Do not be delusional and think that your voluntary Ibadah (worship)
is comparable and can somehow compensate and absolve you from Jihad. By
Allah! Can the blood of a Mujahid be comparable to the tears of one in
Tahajjud? Never! While you wake each morning expecting to taste breakfast, a
Mujahid wakes hoping to taste Martyrdom. How true were the words of Abdullah
Ibn Mubarak in his letter to Al-Fudayl Ibn Iyaadh in which he said:
"Oh you who offer prayer in the sacred mosque!
Had you witnessed us in the battlefield
you would know that, compared to our Jihad,
your worship is child's play.
For every tear you have shed upon your cheek,
We have shed in its place blood upon our chests.
You are playing with your worship,
While worshippers offer your worship,
Mujahideen offer their blood and life."
O Deceived Ummah! Know that our beloved Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) personally participated in 27 battles in his
life. I beg to ask, If the beloved of Allah was not absolved from Jihad, How
can you be deceived into thinking that you are absolved of this obligation?
O Youth of Islam! Do not be scared of Martyrdom. By Allah! If only we
realized the status of a martyr, none of us would want to leave this world but
as a martyr. The Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
stated:
"The Martyr feels not the pain of killing except like a pinch."
[Tirmidhi]
The Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stated:
"The Martyr is granted seven gifts from Allah:"
1. He is forgiven at the first drop of his blood.
2. He sees his status in Jannah.
3. He is dressed in the clothes of Iman.
4. He is safe from the punishment of the grave.
5. He will be safe from the great fear of the day of Judgement.
6. A crown of honour will be placed on his head.
7. He will intercede on behalf of 70 members of his family.
[Musnad Ahmad,Tabrani]
O Youth of Islam! Know that there are many types of Martyrs, but one of them
is very special with Allah. Ponder over the next Hadith for a moment:
In a long Hadith narrated by Anas Bin Malik, the Prophet
(may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) described
three types of Martyrs, and said:
"The third type of Martyr is he who set out for Jihad, with
his life and wealth intending reward and he is determined
to kill or to be killed. If he is killed or dies he will
come on the Day of Judgement with his sword on his shoulders
while the people will be crawling on their knees. He will
ask them, 'will you not make way for us, as we have sacrificed
our blood and wealth for Allah.'" The Prophet continued,
"I swear by the One in whose hands my life is, If this person
was to say this to Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) or any
other Prophet, they would also make way for him recognizing
their duty. These Martyrs will walk up to the pulpits of noor
(light) beneath the Arsh (Throne) of Allah and they will sit
there and observe the judgement of the people taking place.
The sorrow of death will not reach them, nor the difficulty
of the grave, nor will the blowing of the trumpet make them
fear. They will not worry about their judgement, not the
crossing of the bridge Siraat. They will observe the judgement
being carried out and whatever they will ask will be given to
them. Their intercession on behalf of anybody will be accepted.
Whatever they request from Jannah (Paradise) will be given to
them and whatever place they will choose in Jannah will be their
abode.
[Baihaqi,Bazzaz]
By Allah! O Youth of Islam! If only we realized who is awaiting the Martyr, we
would pursue nothing but Martyrdom. How can we let our love of this life hold
us back from our reunion with one created from light? How sweet a description
was given by the Mujahid Sheikh Ibn Nuhaas when he said:
"Raised in the shade of palaces with youths and maidens,
in the abode of luxuries and happiness, By Allah! the blood
of a Martyr does not dry but that he has met her. His eyes
delight in witnessing her glow, wide eyed, beautiful, exquisite,
virgin, as if she were a Ruby! No man or jinn has had sexual
intercourse with her before you, her speech soft, her figure
correct, her hair uniform in colour, her virility immense,
her eyelids flitter. Her beauty is dazzling and radiant, her
glance darkened with Kohl, beautiful her elegance, sweet her
speech, marvellous her creation, splendid her manners, glowingly
adorned, most gorgeous of things lawful, full of love, free of
boredom, her glance created only for looking at you, so she
does not look at any except you. She loves for you everything
that your desires desire. If a nail of hers was to become
apparent, the light of the full moon would be completely
extinguished and if her bracelet was to become apparent during
the night, there would remain no darkness in the creation.
Were that her wrist would to become apparent the whole of mankind
would become enthralled and were that she would look between
the earth and the sky, it would fill between the two a fragrance.
Were that she would spit into the sea, it would turn to
freshwater. Everytime you glance towards her she is enhanced
in your eye in splendour and everytime you sit with her , her
beauty is increased with beauty."
By Allah! O Youth of Islam! Is it befitting of a person of intelligence that
he hears of her and then sits back from reunion with her? O Youth! Know that
for the Martyr in paradise are wide-eyed maidens like her and more like her!
O Youth! Have you forgotten your history? By Allah! There once was a time
when the mention of the name of your Muslim Commanders was enough to make the
enemies of Allah and his Messenger tremble. There once was a time when
meeting your Muslim Commanders with their armies of Mujahideen was the worst
nightmare of the enemies of Allah and his Messenger.
O Youth of the Ummah of Muhammad! Shall I inform you of Salah Al-Din Yusuf
Bin Ayub? Even as a child he was a scholar whose thoughts of Jihad consumed
his focus. By Allah! He grew up to be one of the greatest soldiers of Allah.
He could not stand knowing that Jerusalem was in the hands of the filthy
enemies of Allah and his Messenger, so he trained an army ready to take on the
crusaders. After a three month battle, He captured Jerusalem and brought a
humiliating defeat and destruction upon the crusaders.
No Doubt, there was a time when mothers in Europe would scare their children
to sleep at night telling them "Saladin is coming! Saladin is coming!"
O Youth of Islam! Shall I inform you of Usama Bin Zaid? By Allah! He was
only seventeen years old when the Prophet of Allah made him the commander of a
powerful army and dispatched it to Ghassan to avenge the defeat of the battle
of Mu'ta. Muslim historians record that in this expedition Abu Bakr Siddique,
and Omar Farooq were under the command of Usama Bin Zaid.
O Youth of Islam! Shall I inform you of Muhammad Bin Qasim? No doubt, he was
among the most brilliant sons of Islam. By Allah! He was only seventeen when
he was the commander of an army dispatched by Hajjaj Bin Yusuf, the viceroy of
Iraq, on orders of the Khalifah to the area of Pakistan. Indeed this young
soldier of Allah became the pioneer of the Muslim conquest of the Indian
sub-continent.
O Youth of Islam! Shall I inform you of Tariq Bin Ziad? Verily the Ummah of
Muhammad has not seen anyone like him! This young Muslim general landed with
his soldiers on the coast of Spain, and he ordered the boats in which they had
crossed the Mediterranean to be burnt, so that there remained no possibility
of retreat. After the command had been carried out, he addressed his troops
in these memorable words:
"There is no escape now. The sea is behind you and the enemy
is in front. By Allah! You have nothing to depend upon except
your own courage and fortitude."
Following in the example of his beloved Prophet, this young soldier of Allah
made a special Dua (supplication), the contents of which are unparallel, but
seldom made by Muslim commanders today. The Dua of this young brave soldier
of Allah was accepted and the Muslims gained a magnificient victory.
Christian Spain became Islamic Andalusia and a strong Muslim kingdom was
established that lasted for eight hundred years.
O Sons of Islam! Know that men are made in the battlefields and nowhere else.
It is our responsibility to protect the honour of every Muslim woman being
violated throughout the world, and it is our responsibility to defend Muslims
whose blood is being shed unjustly. Do not ever expect the so-called "Muslim"
governments existant today to come to your aid. They have sold their souls to
Shaitan, and their hearts have become the likes of pigs and monkeys, While
happily helping the Kuffar slaughter innocent Muslims, and then justifying the
killing of those innocent Muslims as acceptable. I say to them, "O you Pig!
and O you Monkey! We already knew about your true nature as our beloved
Prophet already told us that groups of such people will arise among my Ummah
who will consider Unlawful things Lawful and Allah will transform them into
Pigs and Monkeys!
By Allah! There was a time when One Muslim sister was abused in a Roman city
and she shouted "Wa Mutasim Billah". These words reached the Khalifah Mutasim
Billah and he immediately called the emergency sixth Azan in the Masjid, and
all of the Muslims gathered in the Masjid. Khalifah Mutasim Billah said: "A
report has reached me that one Muslim woman was abused in a Roman City. I
swear in the name of Allah, I will send an army so Great that when its first
soldiers reach them, its last soldiers will still be leaving our base. Tell
me of the strongest city of these Romans and I will send the army to that
city." O Sons of Islam! This was the action taken when the honour of One
Muslim woman was touched.
O Muslims! After reading what I have presented before you, I beg to ask, Is
there any amongst us who think they are not liable to make Hijra, prepare in
Jihad, and defend Afghanistan?
Without doubt, I admit that I have no excuse for not fulfilling this
obligation to Allah. Verily I am a great criminal in the court of Allah.
What is your excuse? If you're not disabled, then you have no excuse either.
You are also a criminal in the court of Allah. By Allah! We are both
criminals in the court of Allah. May Allah have mercy on us, What will become
of us on the Day of Judgement?
O Muslims! This Ummah has slept for a long time, long enough for tyrants to
take control over us. We have accepted to live as slaves and submitted to
tyrants. Now the time has come to revolt and destroy the shackle of slavery.
O Muslim Women! I wish to pass on to you a beautiful peice of advice that the
Martyr Sheikh Abdullah Azzam said to women:
"O you Muslim Women! Beware of extravagance, for it is the
enemy of Jihad and it causes the death of the human soul.
Beware of complementary commodities and stick to the basic
necessities. Bring up your children to be brave and courageous.
Let your houses be places for Lions not Chicken farms in which
your sons will be fed then slaughtered by tyrants like sheep.
Instill in the hearts of your sons the love for Jihad and the
love of battlefields. Share the problems of the Muslim Ummah.
Live one day a week like refugees and Mujahideen live; They
live on dry bread and tea."
O Muslims! The current situation surrounding the Ummah is indicating that the
sequence of dreadful battles before the end of the world, as foretold by
Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) in Ahadith
are about to begin. Verily this volcano of battles is about to erupt. Know
that the Prophet foretold that in the end the final victory will be for the
Muslims and Islam will be dominant all over the world!
My sins are many, and good deeds little. Jihad is my door to Jannah, and
Martyrdom is its key. True were the words of a great Mujahid who said, "The
world has been divided into two camps. One of Iman, and another of Kufr."
O Sons of Islam! Who will join me so together, Inshallah, we can build a
coalition of Iman and root out Kufr?
Your Brother in Islam,
Slave of Allah.
