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 was 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 . "The
