NOTE: It appears that this video was recorded at or around the same time that Dokku Umarov also recorded his video titled “To the Muslims of Egypt, Tunisia, and Other Arab Countries.” For other videos Umarov has released regarding the Domodedovo attacks see:
- “Taking the Responsibility for the Moscow Martyrdom Operation of January 24, 2011″
- “Visiting the Base of the Riyāḍ us-Ṣāliḥīn Martyrs Brigade”
In addition to the video below, here is an English translation of it:
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan, in the name of Allah the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds! Praise be to Allah, Whose help and forgiveness we are seeking for! We are seeking refuge in Allah from the evil of our own selves!
He whom Allah leads to a straight path, nobody can ever put him down from the straight path, he whom Allah leaves to wander, nobody can lead him to the straight path!
I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger!
“O you who believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die as others but Muslims”.
May peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you!
Dear Brothers and Sisters!
I want to appeal to you, Muslims of Russia and Caucasus! I appeal to you with a question: how can you combine your life today in peace with the people who is responsible for the crimes and tyranny committed against your brothers and sisters in Caucasus?
How can you be loyal to the government of Putin and the FSB that wage war against Islam and Muslims?
Pay attention how these parasites are mocking at our brothers and sisters! Pay attention how and with what cruelty and cynicism they capture our sisters and young children!
In this regard, I recall a well-known parable about four bulls. I want to tell you this parable. Why? Because today, when disaster falls upon your brothers and sisters, you look at it with apathy, indifference and think that this disaster will not come into your house! … But there is no doubt that this disaster will also touch you!
Four bulls, three blacks and a white one, lived in a dangerous area where there were many wolves and predators. The bulls survived thanks to the fact that they stood together and sought their food together.
But three black bulls separated from the white one, saying that this bull was not of the same color as they – he, they say, unmasks us.
Look at the similarity to what is happening today! When our sisters, young children are seized, we say that they are the brothers of terrorists, the brothers of the Mujahideen, or the sisters of the Mujahideen, or the wives of the Mujahideen.
You are not say that. Why? Because tomorrow this disaster will come to your house, and this label will be hung upon you too! They will invent another label. If it is not the word terrorist, then they will find another word.
And now the continuation of the parable – when the wolves saw the discord among those four bulls, they immediately attacked and ate the white bull, and the other three bulls calmly watched how the wolves ate their mate.
Today, we are also seeing how our sisters are tormented, how our brothers are tormented, as how our elderly are tormented, we think that this disaster will not touch us – that it will pass us by. But I swear by Allah, it will not pass us by if we are not true Muslims, if we do not preach the religion of Allah on this earth!
When the wolves ate the white bull, they were quick to attack the others. They attacked and ate the bulls one after another, and when it came to the last bull, they chased this last bull for a long time, knowing that it will not escape from them. And at the last moment, when the wolves caught it, it said the words which we should think over:
“I do not die now, I died when the white bull was eaten! The day, when I left the white bull alone, that day I was eaten, and that day I was murdered!”.
Think it over, today they capture our brothers and sisters, and everybody is silent and watches, thinking that it does not concern them.
They listen to the words of those stooges, those hypocrites who say that the sisters and brothers of the Mujahideen are terrorists. But no, they are ordinary Muslims who adhere to the religion of Allah and who perform the orders of Allah because they are sincere Muslims!
Therefore, I urge you to awaken, so that you do not to allow these atrocities to be committed, so that these parasites do not mock at you!
The Ummah is strong when it is united, when it is united in mutual love and brotherhood, as stated in the famous hadith.
Therefore, I urge you today for unity, I say to you: if you cannot make jihad against the infidel with arms, then show them at least with words, with your disagreement that you belong to the Muslim Ummah!
We, the Mujahideen of the Caucasus, we will give, Insha’Allah, a prompt response and carry out retribution to the infidels for their misdeeds that they commit! For the desecrated honor of our sisters, whom they seize, for those youngsters, whom they seize today and proclaim terrorists! Insha’Allah, that is all by the will of Allah, Insha’Allah. And if it is the will of the Almighty, we will give our prompt answer!
I would like to say some words about the last operation at the airport that was carried out in Moscow.
Everybody knows how many discussions there were after this operation, how many words were spoke and how much was told about it. To make a video prior to that operation, it was a wish of our brother Seyfullah. He insisted on making the film even though I asked him not to show his face.
I kept this video as long as the infidels didn’t establish the identity of our brother Seyfullah, and only after that, knowing their treachery, knowing their lawlessness, knowing how much sufferings they will bring to his family -only then I published this video, when I was definitely convinced that they know our brother – Martyr Seyfullah.
Now there are all sorts of speculations, although I do not care about them! But to those who accuse me today of terrorism and atrocities, I will answer.
I witnessed the beginnings of the two wars that occurred in Caucasus, especially in Nokhchicho Province. I’d seen how the vultures of infidels, their aircraft, dropped tons of bombs on our civilian international airport, killing the entire population that was around and inside the airport!
It is war, that is war! And the infidels, Putin and his stooges, his military stooges, knew that we did not have any fighter jets or Apache helicopters, that there were no anti-aircraft batteries at the airport. But an airport is a strategic facility which must be destroyed. Therefore, they attacked, dropped tons of bombs at the beginning of both wars.
So let Russia know that it is at war with Caucasian Muslims and that we strike back exactly on strategic targets, and that such strikes will continue in the future exactly on strategic targets!
Everybody should know – war is war, and wars have their own methods, be they good or bad.
Our goals are holy. We preach the religion of Allah, we set the goal to establish justice on the earth, and their goal is to enslave Muslims, to make war against the Muslims till their elimination.
So do not forget, “dear” Putin’s stooges, and Putin, that you are at war with the Muslims of Caucasus! Insha’Allah, Insha’Allah, such operations will be carried out further, Insha’Allah, no matter what atrocities and crimes you commit against the civilian population, against our brothers and sisters, we will deliver you such strikes that you will be unhappy of them!
The crimes, which the infidels commit against the Seyfullah’s family, seizing his innocent brothers and sisters, will not stop the Mujahideen. Our Mujahideen do not lose courage from that! On the contrary, they will want even more to perform such operations! Insha’Allah, these operations, if it is the will of Allah, will continue in future!
I conclude my appeal with a wish to call down blessings on all Muslims of Caucasus, Russia and the whole world.
Peace and blessings be upon Prophet Muhammad, his family, companions! May Allah bestow His blessing to His servants on the true path!
All praise and thanksgiving belong to Allah, the Lord and Sustainer of all the worlds!
May peace and blessings of Allah be upon you.
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar!
