al-Ma’sadat Media Foundation presents a new video message from Shaykh Abū Muḥammad al-Ṭaḥāwī: "Message to the Descendants of 'Umar al-Mukhtār"
NOTE: Shaykh Abū Muḥammad al-Ṭaḥāwī [Abed Shihadeh al-Tahawi], is a global jihadist cleric from Jordan. He is acquaintances with Abū Muḥammad al-Maqdisī. Humām al-Bilāwī [Abū Dujānah al-Khurāsānī] gave him a shout out in his interview with al-Qā’idah Central’s As-Saḥāb Media prior to his “martyrdom” and killing seven CIA officers in Khost, Afghanistan in December 2009:
Before anything else, I send my Salām to Shaykh Abū Muḥammad al-Maqdisī, I send my Salām to Shaykh Abū Muḥammad al-Ṭaḥāwī, and I send my Salām to all the Mujāhidīn in Jordan, and I tell them: be patient, for by Allah, we have seen Jordanian intelligence and its prisons, and we have seen how the intelligence officers would forbid brothers from reciting the Qur’ān in an audible voice. Even reading the Qur’ān is forbidden! So I tell them: be patient, but I also tell them: there is no solution to the situation in Jordan other than mobilizing to the land of Jihād to learn the arts of war and train in them, then return to Jordan and begin operations.
‘Umar al-Mukhtār is an important figure in Libyan history. He was a teacher of the Qur’ān by profession. Additionally, he was skilled in the strategies and tactics of desert warfare. As a result, he was a leading figure and led the Libyan resistance against the Italian fascists — who invaded Libya — from 1912 until his death when the Italians hung him in 1931. His heroic efforts were later depicted in the 1981 film The Lion of the Desert. The film was banned in Italy in 1982 and was not shown on Italian TV until 2009. There have been others that have invoked his name since the demonstrations and subsequent uprising occurred:
- Abū Muṣ’ab ‘Abd al-Wadūd (‘Abd al-Malik Drūkdīl): “Support for the Free, Descendants of ‘Umar al-Mukhtār”
- Ḥāmid Bin ‘Abdullah al ‘Alī: “Why has the Syrian Regime Killed ‘Umar al-Mukhtār’s Descendants With al-Qathāfī (Gaddafi)”
- al-Qā’idah in the Islamic Maghreb: “Support and Backing for the [Libyan] Revolution of our Family, the Free, Descendants of ‘Umar al-Mukhtār”

Kavkaz Center presents a new statement from Movladi Udugov of the Caucasus Emirate: "Amīr Supyan: 17 years in Jihād"

A confirmation of the martyrdom (Insha’Allah) of Emir Supyan (Supyan Abdullayev), one of the most experienced commanders of the Mujahideen of the Caucasus, a mentor of young Muslims, a teacher and educator of the Mujahideen, the closest companion of Emir Dokka Abu Usman, has come.
Supyan went to the Jihad on November 26, 1994, the day when Russian armored columns of Kantemirov and Taman divisions first entered Grozny (Jokhar) under a banner of so-called “opposition forces”.
His first fighting Supyan had near the House of the Press and the military camp of a newly formed Islamic military Jamaat which has become the Islamic Battalion that day.
There were hundreds of such fightings since then, including the bloody battles for Grozny in 1994-1995-1996-1999.
An audacious assault on the positions of Russian troops in a sewing factory, and their defeat in the first days of the battle for Grozny by a small, hastily formed detachment of volunteers from village boys, whom Supyan brought with him, showed him as a talented commander, instructor and organizer.
Then there were many other battles, injuries, death of relatives and brother-in-arms, the hardest days of ordeals and defeats, joy of victories and bitterness of losses. He was always calm, thoughtful, smiling and kind, but stern and resolute towards the enemy.
Being an experienced teacher, scout and commander, Supyan trained hundreds of young Mujahideen in warfare, Islam and Jihad.
The last 17 years of his life – November 26, 1994 to March 28, 2011 – Supyan spent in the Jihad. He was one of those men who never ask for help, but always ready come to help, never complain, but always ready to share the woes and sorrows of the others. And they never, never give up…!
He was a dada (father) as the Mujahideen in Chechnya and Ingushetia respectfully called him.
The enemies cursed him as a Wahhab. They cursed him using one of the greatest names of the Almighty – Al-Wahhab (meaning The Bestower), thereby attesting with their own words that Supyan was really a true servant of Allah, Who bestows the martyrs the highest place in Paradise – Jannatul Firdaus, Insha’Allah!
It is impossible to make the time of parting more distant or close. The pen was picked up and the ink dried. And it happens only what the Lord of the Worlds wishes. I feel sadness in my heart of and tears the eyes while parting with the beloved brother, but we will say only what Allah be pleased with – wa inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un – we all belong to Allah and to Him shall we return!
Movladi Udugov
Russian:
Пришло подтверждение о Шахаде (иншааЛлах) амира Суфьяна (Супьяна Абдуллаева), одного из самых опытных командиров моджахедов Кавказа, наставника молодых мусульман, учителя и воспитателя моджахедов, ближайшего соратника Амира Докку Абу Усмана.
Супьян вышел на Джихад 26 ноября 1994 года, в тот день, когда российские танковые колонны Кантемировской и Таманской дивизий впервые вошли в Грозный (Джохар) под флагом т.н. «оппозиции».
Свой первый бой Супьян принял в районе Дома печати и военного городка в составе только что сформированного исламского военного джамаата, ставшего в тот день Исламским Батальоном.
С тех пор таких боев у Супьяна были сотни, в том числе и кровавые сражения за Грозный в 1994–1995, 1996, 1999 г.г.
Дерзкий штурм позиций русских войск на швейной фабрике и их разгром в первые дни боев за Грозный, небольшим, наспех сформированным отрядом добровольцев из числа сельских парней, который провел Супьян, выявил в нем талантливого командира, наставника и организатора.
Затем было очень много других сражений и битв. Ранения, гибель родных и соратников, тяжелейшие дни испытаний и поражений, радость побед и горечь потерь. Всегда спокойный, рассудительный, улыбчивый и добрый, но с врагом суровый и решительный.
Опытнейший воспитатель, разведчик и командир, Супьян успел обучить сотни молодых моджахедов военному делу, Исламу и Джихаду.
Последние семнадцать лет своей жизни — с 26 ноября 1994 года по 28 марта 2011 года Супьян провел в Джихаде. Он был из тех мужчин, которые никогда не просят о помощи, но сами всегда приходят на помощь, никогда не жалуются, но всегда готовы разделить беды и печали других. И никогда, никогда не сдаются…!
Дада (отец) – уважительно называли его моджахеды Чечни и Ингушетии.
Ваххабист — ругали его враги. Ругали одним из Прекрасных Имен Всевышнего – Аль-Ваххаб, (что означает Дарующий в изобилии), тем самым засвидетельствовав собственными языками, что Супьян был искренним рабом Аллаха, Который дарует Шахидам место высшей награды и почёта в своём Раю – Фирдаус, иншааЛлах!
Срок расставания не отдалить и не приблизить. Перо поднято и чернила высохли. И происходит только то, что пожелает Господь миров. В сердце печаль, а в глазах слёзы от расставания с любимым братом, но мы скажем только то, чем будет доволен Аллах – инна лиЛляхи ва инна илейхи раджи’ун – Все мы принадлежим Аллаху, и к Нему наше возвращение!
Мовлади Удугов
نفر سفيان إلى الجهاد في 26 نوفمبر 1994م، اليوم الذي دخلت فيه الأرتال المدرعة الروسية من وحدات كانتيميروف وتامان إلى غروزني (جوهر) تحت راية ما يسمى “المعارضة”.
وكان أول قتال لسفيان قرب بيت الصحافة ومعسكر الجماعة الإسلامية العسكرية المشكلة حديثا التي أصبحت الكتيبة الإسلامية في ذلك اليوم.
وكان هناك المئات من المواجهات كتلك، بما فيها المعارك الدموية في غروزني في 1994-1995-1996-1999.
والهجوم على الجريء على مواقع القوات الروسية في معمل الخياطة، وهزيمتهم في الأيام الأولى لمعركة غروزني على يد فوخ صغير شكل بسرعة من المتطوعين من أبناء القرى، الذين جلبهم سفيان معهم، وقد أظهره ذلك كقائد، وموجه، ومنظم موهوب.
بعد ذلك كان هناك العديد من المعارك غيرها، والجراحات، وموت الأقارب وإخوة السلاح، وأشد أيام المحن والهزائم، وأفراح الإنتصارات ومرارة الخسائر. وكان دائما هادئا، وعميق التفكير، ومبتسما وعطوفا، ولكنه كان صارما وحازما تجاه العدو.
ونظرا لكونه معلما، ومستطلعا، وقائد متمرس، درب سفيان المئات من الشباب عن الحرب، والإسلام، والجهاد.
خلال 17 عاما الأخيرة من حياته – 26 نوفمبر 1994 إلى 28 مارس 2011م – التي قضاها سفيان في الجهاد. كان أحد أولئك الرجال الذين لم يسألوا أبدا المساعدة، ولكنهم دائما مستعدين للمساعدة، ولم يشتكوا أبدا، ولكنهم كانوا دائما مستعدين ليشاركوا المحن والمصائب الآخرين. وهم لم يستسلموا أبدا…!
وكان دادا (والد) كما كان المجاهدين في الشيشان وإنغوشيا يسمونه إحتراما له.
وكان الأعداء ينعتونه بالوهابي. إنهم كانوا ينتعونه بأحد أسماء الله الحسنى – الوهاب -، وبذلك يشهدون بأفواههم أن سفيان كان عبدا مخلصا لله، الذي يهب الشهداء أعلى الدرجات في الجنان – جنات الفردوس، إن شاء الله!
من المستحيل تأخير أو تعجيل وقت الرحيل. لقد رفع القلم وجفت الصحف. وما شاء الله تم. وأنا أشعر بأسى في قلبي ودموعا في عيني على رحيل أخ شقيق، ولكنني أقول
