Glad
Tiding From Somali Ash-Shabab Mujahidun: “And On That
Day, The Believers Will Rejoice” - Par One All praise be
to Allah. We praise Him, seek His help, seek
forgiveness from Him and seek His Guidance. May peace
and blessings be upon the noblest of Prophets and
Messengers, our lead-er, Muhammad, and upon all his
Family and Companions. To proceed:
After the Mujahideen succeeded in reaching the
heart of today’s Hubal, America, striking the very
symbol of their economy in Manhattan and the center of
their pompous pride, the Pentagon, Bush declared his
ruthless Crusade against the Islamic world. Somalia
was the vanguard of the countries in the Great Horn of
Africa, administered from AFRICOM (United States
African Command), targeting Islam, incorporating it
into their plans for the region.
It’s true that the Crusader bombs were raining upon
the fledgling Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan, but its
pains and groans were felt and heard by the Muslim
people here, an example of [the way the Ummah is] one
body, of which if one part complains, the rest remains
sleepless and feverish.
The resoluteness of the Mujahideen in Tora Bora was
a spark which ignited the spirit of sacrifice in the
Muslim youth. America wished to control the situation
and extinguish the flames which were ignited, and so
it took the help of warlords and criminal militias,
sending them like hunting dogs to prevent the anger
which had ignited in the hearts of the Muslim youth
from exploding, fearing that it may take the form of
an organized revolution, creating another Taliban
Emirate here. The matter got even more out of hand,
and America was forced to call in the spiteful
Christian nation of Ethiopia, and the result, and all
praise be to Allah, was even worse for them and even
more organized, more united and with more Mujahideen.
Locals and foreigners answered the calls to Jihad
en masse, and they fought back Ethiopia and its
aides, destroying its arms and defenses. Their plans
were foiled by the Grace and Blessing of Allah, and
even the enemy confessed to their loss and defeat.
They fled, yelping with their tail between their legs,
and the Mujahideen continued their Jihad in Allah’s
Cause, and thus Allah blessed their path with
steadfastness and reform: steadfastness in times of
difficulty to abide by Islamic principles and creed,
and reform of their plans in accordance to the
variables of the time. Victory was achieved, and
numerous areas raced to Allah’s Shariah, submitting to
the Com-mands of Allah, seeking its rule, judgement
and governance. As a result, various Islamic
provinc-es were born.
The Path and the
Promise
Imam ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him,
said,
“The [path] always starts with trials and tests,
then comes the period of patience and reliance [upon
Allah], and the end is enlightenment, guidance and
victory.” (Shifaa Al-Aleel, p.247)
Movements are measured according to the
steadfastness in adherence to the principles which
they have achieved though times of difficulty and
ease, and joy and sorrow. As we live in times of
drastic change, we need to remind the Muslim Ummah
that some days are for us and some are against us. At
times we see one defeat and trial after another, we
are tested in our lives and wealth, while at other
times, we enjoy the fresh breezes of victory and
sovereignty, and the stu-por of conquest and opening
of various new lands. These changing states should not
cause us to lose our balance or neglect our
principles. The Mujahideen Youth Movement, by Allah’s
Grace, are still holding on to the principles it was
based upon:
- Our goal is still to achieve the Pleasure of
Allah by establishing the Tawheed which is present
on our flag: by singling out Allah in worship, and
showing obedience to none other than Allah’s Messenger
()
- We still strive to demolish the framework of
apostasy and topple the systems of secularism
which seek to make humans slaves to other humans,
establishing an Islamic system on its ruins and
subjecting people to their Lord through the
implementation of the Islamic Shariah and go-vernance.
- We still strive our utmost to unite the Muslim
Ummah, despite their various colors and lan-guages,
under the banner of “Laa ilaaha ill-Allah,
Muhammad-ur-Rasool-ullah”, and base our love and
hatred, allegiance and disavowal upon the concepts of
this banner, which require that we come to the defense
of the weak and oppressed [Muslims] worldwide, and
strive our utmost to free our prisoners and alleviate
the plight of the grieved.
- We still believe ourselves to be part of the
global Jihad movement which requires unity,
mu-tual help, and mutual advice. What is more
important than any of this is to unite the ranks upon
the principles of Tawheed, fulfilling the command of
Allah and terrorizing His enemies. Allah () said:
﴿إِنَّ اللَّوَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ ي قَُاتِلُونَ
فِي سَبِيلِوِ صَفِّا كَأَن هَُّمْ ب
نُْ يَانٌ مَرْصُوصٌ﴾
“Verily, Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in
rows (ranks) as if they were a solid structure.” (Al-Saff:
4)
A structure whose bricks hold together and
support each other, making it as one; each brick
playing its part in the whole and filling its gaps,
for the whole structure will fall if one brick is
missing from its place. (‘Fi Dhilal Al-Quran’)
- We are still striving to recover the usurped
Muslim lands, especially the Holy Lands, a cove-nant
Allah has made with us, whether we are a movement, a
country or soldiers of the Cali-phate.
Obedience, not
Innovation
In a time when innovated methodologies exist,
produced by secular movements in the markets of
slavery and subservience to the West, the methodology
of the Mujahideen remains firm, drinking from the well
of revelation, deriving it from the guidance of the
Prophet (). For this reason, it has produced its
fruits in this life before the next, though what Allah
has prepared for us in the nest life is the best and
everlasting:
- Authentic and Untainted Islamic Propagation
which speaks the truth, without giving
prefe-rence to some to others, untainted by secularism
and modernism, and unsubmissive to the pre-valent
state of affairs, and uncompromising with the
tyrannical rulers, unlike the call of the scho-lars of
defeatism and the kings’ sorcerers who fall to the
sides of the path. It is also uninfluenced by
pressures and wounds, crossing the limits and going to
extremes in accusing others of disbe-lief. Sheikh
Al-Islam ibn Taimiyyah said in praise of the
moderateness of the righteous Salaf:
Whoever does less than them has fallen short,
and whoever does more has gone to an extreme. Some
fell short and became hard-hearted, and others sought
to do more and became extreme. Indeed whoever seeks
moderateness between these two paths is upon the
correct Guidance. (Majmoo’ al-Fatawaa, v.4, p.11)
- Al-Hisbah in its broadest understanding,
which is promotion of virtue if left by the people,
and prevention of vices when they are committed. Allah
has opened us a wide door to carry out this
responsibility in order to protect this society from
immorality and guide it towards loftiness. For the
first time in contemporary Islamic History, a specific
army has been formed, watching over cities and towns,
while the Hisbah Army on the battlefields protect the
Islamic lands from the aggressors.
Through this Hisbah Army, the security of our Ummah
has been ensured; people are allowed to enjoy life
under the shade of Islam, free to practice their
religion.
- Jihad in Allah’s Cause, which has taken
root and produced its fruit and reached its prime, by
Allah’s Grace. Both foreigners and locals have
gathered in the market, and now they compete with each
other in making the highest profit of martyrdom:
﴿ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اشْتَ
رَى مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْ فُسَهُمْ
وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ
﴾
“Verily, Allah has purchased of the Believers their
lives and their properties for (the price) that theirs
shall be the Paradise.” *Al-Tawbah:111)
Today, people have become accustomed to things such
as martyrdom and martyrdom-seeking, remaining in
garrison and long periods of wait, missile attacks and
dust, injuries and wounds, as well as the spoils of
war and booty.
Victory and
Sovereignty
Sovereignty is not something which can be earned,
nor can anyone claim that they deserve it. Rather, it
is a pure heavenly gift which Allah () grants to whom
He pleases:
﴿ وَنُرِيدُ أَنْ نَمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذِينَ
اسْتُضْعِفُوا فِي الَْرْضِ
وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةً وَنَجْعَلَهُمُ الْوَارِثِينَ
* وَنُمَكِّنَ لَهُمْ فِي
الَْرْضِ ﴾
“Indeed Allah has bought from the Believers their
lives and wealth, in return for Paradise.”
(Al-Qasas:5)
Due to the fact that the goals of the Shariah are
inclusive of the general interest of this life as well
as the Hereafter, Allah () has given us sovereignty
so that we may see things which we only found buried
in books, thinking their implementation in our time to
be from the seven im-possibilities, in practical life.
Examples of them are as follows:
- Extermination of Polytheism. In
implementation of the way Prophet Ibrahim (), the
beloved servant of Allah, dealt with idols, the
Mujahidoon took hold of the pickaxes of Tawheed,
raising the axe of Prophet Ibrahim over their heads
and uprooted the apparent symbols of polytheism and
idolatry, such as tombs and domes. Abu Umamah ()
related that the Prophet () said:
“Indeed Allah has sent me as a mercy to mankind and
has ordered me to wipe all traces of idolatry.” (Ahmed
and others)
Allah purified many segments of our society from
grave-worship, grave pilgrimage, sacri-ficing animals
for the saints buried there, and seeking blessings
from them, after they saw with their own eyes that
they were merely false deities who can neither benefit
nor harm. They were guided to Tawheed, and they cast
aside shirk. All praise be to Allah for the blessing
of being able to worship in an atmosphere not polluted
with raised domes or over-respected graves.
- Implementation of the Hudood,
through which Allah granted us the ability to keep
roads se-cure and ensure peace in way unseen in
Somalia for decades. From a time when you could sense
the smell of gunpowder emanating from alleys and
streets, as if they were gardens of death wa-tered by
their blood, now the eight current Islamic Provinces
are given as examples of peace and security. We
challenge the infidel West, and what is known as the
“Greater Powers” and their followers from other
tyrannical and subjective regimes, as well as
organization which prey on
the masses, such as Blackwater, to achieve this
type of peace in such as short time span and with such
limited capabilities as we have to our avail. Indeed
Allah () speaks the truth, as He said:
﴿ وَلَكُمْ فِي الْقِصَاصِ حَيَاةٌ يَا أُولِي
الَْلْبَابِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَ تَّ قُونَ ﴾
“And there is (a saving of) life for you in Al-Qisas
(the Law of Equality in pu-nishment), O men of
understanding, that you may become of the
God-conscious.” (Al-Qasas: 179)
- Revival of the Obligation of Zakaah,
nonexistent for decades. Things have come back to
their original state of normalcy, as Zakaah has been
taken from the rich and distributed to the poor.
Balance has been brought back to society, and social
classes have been done away with. Termi-nology once
forgotten, such as a “share for the needy”, “a share
for the poor”, “a share for new Muslims” and “a share
for the prisoners *in the lands of the infidel
nations+”, etc, is now com-mon. We now see tribal
notables carrying cards which prove they are Zakaah
collectors, visiting people and explaining to them the
rulings of Zakaah. By the Grace of Allah, Zakaah has
freed the poor from their reliance upon the “World
Food Program” which distributes food to enslave the
poor of our Ummah. Allah has exposed the truth from
their own mouths, as they mentioned in their own
reports, that after their sinister organization was
expelled from Somalia, the number of poor decreased
about 500,000. This was only due to the Grace of
Allah, and then the social solidarity which came about
after the implementation of Zakaah.
- Expelling the infidel organizations.
These organizations were born in the time of
colonialism, and had since then spread to such an
extent that they became the hidden power behind the
scenes, leading and steering the country towards
poverty in the name of enrichment, immorali-ty in the
name of progress, disease in the name of health,
ignorance in the name of education, and oppression in
the name of peace and security… this is how they make
their goals seem at-tractive. This was the case until
the promised day arrived, the day that their true
beings became exposed to all, and rights were returned
to the masses. These organizations were expelled from
Somalia without any regrets:
﴿ فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّمَاءُ وَالَْرْضُ
﴾
“And neither the sky nor the earth wept for them…”
(Al-Dukhan: 29)
As a result, farmers were encouraged, the local
economy saw a revival, and Allah allowed the yield to
suffice the whole country and its people. All praise
be to Allah for His aid.
- Islamic Courts and Office of the Ombudsman.
For decades, the rights of the Muslims have been lost
in either man-made or tribal laws, or bribes, sources,
or favoritism. These rights which were lost were
inherited by successive generations as mountains of
disputes which have filled
people with hate, taking a toll on peace and
security. This was of course until the sun of the
Sha-riah rose and did away with the darkness of
oppression. The masses referred their disputes to the
Mujahideen courts, accepting nothing else due to the
justice and recovery of rights they saw in them.
Prejudice, tribalism, customs and traditions were
disregarded in front of one phrase:
﴿ فَ رُدُّوهُ إِلَى
الله
وَالرَّسُولِ ﴾
“…then refer it to Allah and His Messenger.” (Al-Nisa:
59)
*People trusted in this system so much that+ they
even come from the *the area known as+ “Ki-lometer
Four” administered by the apostate government,
referring their cases to the Islamic Courts in
Mogadishu.
- Islamic identity. It was sought
that this country would be rid of its Islamic
identity, but it has instead made a huge return after
the breakdown of the successive apostate regimes and
the failure of the Crusader plans, when the
monotheists took control of affairs. Apparent signs of
uprightness and guidance started to spread in society,
and Arabic was again audible in the streets, silencing
other languages and dialects. It also became the
official language of public schools, institutes, and
the Mujahideen training centers which shelter
foreigners as well as lo-cals. A Pakistani, Kenyan,
and American Emigrants do not speak any common
language other than Arabic, let alone the other
affinities which bond the foreigners and the locals.
- The cause and the goal: From the
remnants of colonialism and its evil influences on the
people of this country is that they were bonded by
their loyalty to a false idolic cause which gathered
them within the boundaries set by Sykes-Picot. Many
died in its cause, and due to it many his-torical wars
were fought, becoming the theme of much poetry and
prose. But with the arrival of the Mujahideen and
their launching of educational campaigns which
targeted the very essence of society, the Somali
people became convinced that their loyalty should be
to the cause of Tawheed, because it unifies all
Muslims of the world, and because it is a tangible
tool for our goal. The cause is also the goal, as
mentioned in the Musnad of Imam Ahmed, in the
hadeeth of Awf b. Malik. Al-Ashja’i, in which the
Prophet () said:
“A
truce between you and the Westerners, *they will
betray the covenant and+ come to you with eighty
goals.”
I asked, “What is a goal?”
He said, “A cause. Underneath each one of
these goals is twelve thousand. The forti-fied
stronghold of the Muslims on that day will be a placed
called Dimishq.”
The
great scholar of hadeeth, Ibn Hajar, may Allah have
mercy on him, said: “ ‘Goal, meaning ‘cause’. It has
been called this word because it is follows it where
it goes.” (Fat’h Al-Bari v.6, 278)
- The allegiance of the tribes. One
of the things with which Allah blessed the Mujahideen
is that in this period of time, many of the tribes who
had been feuding for decades were able to resolve
their issues, referring them to the Book of Allah
after He sent the Mujahideen. They all agreed, the
relationship with the tribes was cemented, and they
stood side by side with the Mujahideen in their
security campaigns against highway robbers. As a
result of this unity, most of the tribes pledged
allegiance to “hearing and obeying in times of
activity and laziness, financial support in times of
ease and difficulty, to enjoin the good and forbid the
evil, speaking out for the truth without fear, and
that they will defend the truth and side with the
Mujahideen against anyone who fights against the
establishment of the Shariah.” As required by this
allegiance, these tribes, especially those of Bay and
Bakool, surrendered all their weapons to the
Mujahideen, both light and heavy. All praise is due to
Allah, and all blessings are conferred by Him.
They Seek to
Extinguish the Light of Allah with their Mouths
All of these blessings which Allah has graced His
slaves have been kept hidden from people through the
proxy enemy media establishments who have gone to
great lengths to distort the facts and give the
opposite image of what is actually occurring. Through
a preplanned strategy, they resorted to waging war
against the Mujahideen from behind screens and
microphones, airing things which suit the desires of
apostate government, working to polish its image and
les-sening the issue of the Mujahideen victories,
making truth seem to appear as falsehood and falsehood
as truth through their magic. However, Allah sent the
Jihadi media as a staff of Moses to “swallow up
that which they have made. That which they have made
is only a magician's trick. And the magician will
never be successful, whatever amount (of skill) he
attains.” (Ta-Ha: 69)
The signs of the breakdown of the Christian
Crusades are starting to become clear to all. None
reject this fact except those who Allah has blinded
their eyes or insight. Hollow threats and cla-mor
which echoes only within Kilometer Four, and the
contradicting statements which some-times arise and
threaten, and at other times fall silent, all indicate
the extent of failure they were blessed with, by the
Grace of Allah.
In Iraq, the Islamic State imposes a curfew, and
the leader of the Believers, Abu Umar Al-Baghdadi
expressed his disavowal *of shirk+ through the “Axe of
Prophet Ibrahim” Campaign, uprooting the idols of
democracy. In Afghanistan, the ghost of the gallant
Lion of Al-Hisbah [fo-rums], Abu Dujanah Al-Khurasani,
continues to haunt the White House. In the Peninsula
of Mu-hammad (), Umar Al-Farooq carried a letter
whose scraps scattered about, destroying the awe of
the inviolable security of the West. In the gigantic
north of the Nigerian Battleground, and the winds of
Faith gust, returning the leadership to its rightful
people after it was usurped by the cross- worshippers
when they were briefly inattentive. And thus do the
rest of the battlefields of Jihad which have
demolished the haughtiness and smugness of the
Crusaders, proceed upon firm footholds towards the
desired goal.
We can do nothing other than to remain firm upon
the path, having certainty in the Promise of Allah of
victory, sovereignty and authority in religion. On
that day, the flag of Tawheed will fly high over the
various regions of the Islamic World. Indeed we in the
Land of the Two Emigra-tions hope in Allah (), and
pray to Him that He keeps us on the right path, guides
our opinions, and employs us in the Cause of His
religion, to bring joy to the Muslims and cause them
healthy envy, allowing us to achieve what we have lost
for decades.
And our final prayer is that all praise be to
Allah, the Lord of all that exists.
