And perhaps in the lives of many of you, and then, we will never abandon you, for you are our fathers and brothers (our lifeblood), the pride of our Ummah (nation), glory of our religion and the heirs of the Prophet.
If you are to give up on us, we shall not.
And if you elect to desert us, we shall follow your footsteps and cling to you because you are the source of enlightenment and guidance.
If any of you are to stumble on or slips to lust or a suspicion, we shall hold our tongues and guard his honor unless in doing so would guide others (assumed misinterpretation) to wrongdoings.
We are not a stray gang and we are not people of a craze nor are we advocates of such.
We are men, who have witnessed the humiliation of our religion (rolling snowball) as a sweeping flood descending our nation forth to the abyss of ignorance.
With our skulls and bones (sacrifice), we have walled off (fortified - protected) your honor and religion. Today, we are witnessing the (fortification) growing stronger and firmer in the face of infidels’ waves (attacks) smashing to diminishment.
And then (when we have secured all that), we are back to settle in the land the tree of Islam (empowerment) and to nurture it to fruitfulness. We shall then say to you, take it (fruitfulness) and enjoy it with right good cheer.
The birds of evil are circling above the lands and we are afraid that they might snatch off our struggle and toil.
Our stream of blood (sacrifice) in Iraq is great, more than 4,000 Muhajireen (forsaking) and many more (quadruple) of Ansar (providers/supporters) of goodness and blessings
Our Dear scholars,
Today, we are at a crossroads and we ask you to assume responsibility (take the Trust).
Don’t fail us. By Allah, don’t fail us because we need you.
We promise you no security (safety) but a Jihad (we promise you) for the sake of Allah and (we promise you that our manners) to be at the limits Allah has set for us.
We have nothing more precious than our blood, we lay down at will so for the ship of Islam to continue sailing (empowerment of Islam). We ask you to guide us and enlighten our way and to take control of it (ship) according to The Holy Quran and the tradition of our prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. If you are to decline taking control, then you are not to blame us if we are to answer to the present challenge and take control of it and move on to our establishment in land.
Dear true scholars, let’s arguably assume that Al-Azhar sheikh and Mufti of Hijaz are the ones instructing Al-Mujahideen and that the Mufti of Al-Sham is serving as an error check, would you think our nation would be better off? (Sarcasm that those mentioned have not done a real tangible work to protect Ummah).
Oh revered scholars, leadership should be spearheaded (undertaken) by an individual of correct perception and knowledge, and that is what Allah has endued on you, scholars.
A good, cohesive and strong society is the one in which scholars prevail and in which individuals know their rights and duties.
“When there comes to them some matter touching (Public) safety or fear, they divulge it. If they had only referred it to the Messenger, or to those charged with authority among them, the proper investigators would have Tested it from them (direct).” 004.083
I seize this instance to remind you of the blind sheikh Omar Abdurrahman. He is detained in the US and being subjected to various physical and psychological torture for no reason but because he rejected Evil and believed in the oneness of Allah.
To him, I say, have no fear, and verily, with every difficulty there is a relief.
Dear beloved sheikh, those who stand firm on the covenant are plenty.
Your loyal sons are still with you and as you have left them, unchanged, but have become more certain and insightful of Evil
Have no grieve for those who were retreated in defeat, may Allah forgive them for some of their (past and present other) good work, he (Allah) is the most merciful.
I also appeal to all free Mujahideen in the land of two rivers to work hard in this holy month for the sake of Allah. May Allah grant us the opportunity to capture some of the Roman dogs (crusaders) so to serve as an exchange prisoners to set free our sheikh and save him from the darkness of prison; as a confirmation of our allegiance, loyalty and love (to him).
My second message:
And my second message is to those who sacrificed so much, and endured the agony, which only Allah knows what.
And also to tribal sheikhs (chiefs) who have stood with us, privately and publicly, and provided us with money and men.
I say: May Almighty Allah reward and requite thee for us with all good. You are people of generosity, courage and daring.
If one is to take oath that you are most revered people on earth, one would not perjure.
There will be a day, dear revered sheiks (chiefs), that we shall carry you on our shoulders and heads (glorify) and call upon people:
Thee are our pride (fathers). Bring forth like thee men.
And for those traitors who stood alongside with and became the spying eyes and mouthpieces of the occupiers and their aides, and who have betrayed their land, people and beliefs, and who ended up in despair in military bases and some have fled the land leaving behind their families and properties, imprecated by Allah and cursed by their people, to those I would like to say:
In this holy month of Ramadan, the month of the amnesty and pardon. Today we declare a general amnesty.
For each of you, we have waived our right to avenge for our blood that was shed at your hands (as a consequence of your treason). Our hands reach out to you in forgiveness and our arms are stretched out in welcome to you, again… so come back… do come back once again… to your land, people and your religion… we grant you safety as long as you repent before you fall into our grip and on the following conditions
- That you announce your sincere repentance before a gathering of your tribe and to inform us (by a mean) of you repentance for the fear of error and slippage on our part.
- And that you work hand by hand with your bothers, Al-Mujahideen, so we can liberate our land and enjoy peace again.
The duration of this amnesty is the month of Ramadan and will expire at the end of it.
May Allah be our witness that we are honest and sincere (in our reach out to you)… with love.
My third message:
And my last message is to the people of distinctive competencies, and highly experienced scientists in all fields and disciplines, chemistry, physics, management and electronics, information… etc. and in particular nuclear scientists and explosives specialists..
We say to you, we are in dire need for your experience. The battlefields of Jihad will satisfy your ambitions… American bases serve as the best test fields for your non-traditional bombs… such as germ warfare and the so called dirty-bombs.
In the end and with pleasure I am announcing the launch of a new military campaign, Al-Fateh Al-Mobien (Operation Manifest Victory).
With it, we shall eradicate the infidels, apostates and the hypocrites with the help of Allah, the Exalted in Might, The Wise.
“And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not.” 012.021
Al-Mujahideen Servant,
Abu Hamza Al-Muhajir
(May Allah protect him and support him)
