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;47:46). 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; inbetween two degrees as the inbetween heaven and
earth". Saheeh AlJame' AsSagheer. 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 AlJame' AsSagheer.
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 AtTirmithi (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, themost 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} (AtTaubah; 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 meet 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 ArRasheed, AmeerulMu'meneen, replied to your grandfather, Nagfoor,
the Byzantine emperor, when he threatened the Muslims: "from Haroon ArRasheed,
AmeerulMu'meneen, to Nagfoor, the dog of the Romans; the answer is what you will see not
what you hear". Haroon ElRasheed 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 alKhobar 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 betrayed 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
willingexpelled, 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, evenif 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 Christian armies and handing the AlAqsa 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)
AlQuds 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 grand father 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 abooty to
those who kill them. The most Exalted said in the verse of AsSayef, 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}
(AtTauba; 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 AlBukhary).
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 Americansthe 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 AlKhatab 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 jewellery. 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 to 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 cooperation 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 AlAqsa 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!
Our 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 .
