Forum Islam al-Busyro presents a new statement from al-akh Isrofiel: "Attention to the Muslims of Cirebon on the Bombing Case"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

UPDATE 4/20 10:25 AM: Here is an English translation of the below statement:
Assalamu’alaikum Wr.Wb.
It is wajib for the Muslims to sharpen their vigilance and take precautions against their enemies, and the Muslims should always remember that their enemies always stay up to plan and plot against the Muslim. Therefore the Muslims must be constantly vigilant so they can know, where does the enmity originate from and how does the hatred amongst them become ignited???…
Indeed, the presence of the munafiqs in the Islamic community is a latent danger that is big, however even more dangerous than that is the presence of the believers who always accept the dictates from the munafiqs, they also want to listen to the gossips of the munafiqs, in fact even tailing behind the opinions and behaviours of the munafiqs, without heeding its impacts on the Muslims.
The Qur’an has recorded for us some disasters that befell the Muslims, caused by some Muslims who had tailed behind (followed) the munafiqs, the spiteful, so that we can reap the hikmah (wisdom) from the experience of those who came before us.
O spreaders hoax…! O swallowers of fitnah…! O people who do not like to see two people who love each other except they must endeavour to separate them …! O people who want to denounce the people who are not entitled to be denounced..! Restrain your speech…! For surely you will be prompted accountability for your every word.
Allah Ta’ala says :
Meaning : “Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer (angel) prepared [to record].” [Qaaf : 18]
Be careful with the words of deceit, spreading false issues, accusing the Muslims without proof, being prejudiced against Muslims…!!!
Understanding The Bombing Inside A Masjid
It is indeed surprising, a “suicide bomb” (read: shaheed bomb) exploded in a masjid. Curses then flowed freely from various parties, not least from the Muslims themselves.. either they were ever committed to fight this country, or not…
Denunciation of this young man keeps coming insistently when his janaza was not even buried yet… is it true that what was done by this youth is wrong? Allow me to explore a little how to interpret this case from my point of view…
Firstly…
The target of this youth is clear, namely those of the infidels (kafir) from the ranks of the Police of Cirebon, why are the police called kafir…? whereas those policemen do perform solat…? Remember, that the status of those policemen is Ansar Thaghut, i.e. the helpers of the Thaghutso that Islam is not established in this country… they hindered the Muslims, making it difficult for the Muslims, plotting against them and submitting to the Jews by being friends with America, namely the country that kills the most Muslims… then can we say that the police are Muslim…???? If there is anyone who says that hujjah have not been imposed on the police that they do not realize their actions and thus cannot be said as kafir just like that… Remember…!!! They do not know the rulings of committing the sin, or they don’t want to know…??? Example, if there is someone who commits zina in this country, but he reasoned that he did not know that the act of zina is forbidden in the Qur’an, can his testimony be accepted…? Of course not… because he does not want to know,,, not making use of the vision and hearing given to him by Allah… the same goes with the police… they are kafir because of their job of fighting the Muslims…
Secondly…
Based on the testimony obtained, of how the movement this youth was observed, it is clear that this young man tried to blow up the infidels who were in the masjid, not trying to blow up the masjid to kill the kafir…!!! Please note carefully this sentence.. Perhaps, the youth had found it difficult to approach the target outside, but he found the opportunity in the masjid, and he did not find other way to kill the target except in the masjid, this is possible… then is it not better for us to have husnudzhan (positive thoughts) on this youth…???
Thirdly…
It is not forever that the masjid cannot be damaged… When the Ahmadiyah built a masjid, and there was a group of Muslims who ruined it, then some people amongst us were silent and there were also those who justified and probably no one had blamed it, but when the masjidowned by the police was harmed, why do we hesitate to act the same…??? Do you consider that the police are more Muslim compared to the Ahmadiyah? Wallahu’alam… But what’s certain is, Rasulullah had burned Masjid Dhirar, namely a masjid that was built not for the right purposes, but a place to divide the ummah. It was proven that the people had used that masjid for a gathering place, to gossip, to find the fault of the Muslims themselves, and it was recorded in Surah At-Taubah verse 107. Therefore, can’t the masjid used by the ulama’s of the thaghutto destroy the fikrah of the ummah, to stop the war against the thaghut, be harmed, even if it’s just a little bit…? Is it true that the masjid used by the enemies of Allah to plot against His religion cannot be harmed…?
Fourthly…
True… that this shaheed bomb exploded in a masjid… and a masjid is a sacred place for Muslims… but does anyone remember the story Hathib bin Abu Balta’ah…? Namely the story of a great sahabah who participated in the battle of Badr, when he sent a letter to the Quraysh in the year of the conquest of Makkah, while telling them about the intentions of Rasulullah salallaahu ‘alaihi wassallam of wanting to set out and attack them.
Ali bin Abi Thalib described his experiences regarding the incident as follows:
Rasulullah SAW ordered the three of us, i.e. myself, Zubair and Al Miqdad : ‘Go to a raudhah (meadow) named Khakh. You will find a woman on her way to Makkah bringing a letter. Take the letter from her hand!’ We set out with our horses and upon arriving at the place we encountered the woman who was referred by the Prophet SAW. We asked her so she would surrender the letter that was hidden. She replied that she did not bring a letter. In the end we threatened: ‘Show us the letter, if not we’ll have to strip you!’ She was forced to take the letter out which she carried inside a bag and surrendered it to us. We then returned immediately to see Rasulullah SAW… When opened, it apparently contained a writing: From Hathib bin Abi Balta’ah to the mushrikeen of Makkah telling them about some plans that were going to be carried out by Rasulullah SAW. Hathib was then summoned and asked by Rasulullah: ‘Hey Hathib, what is the purpose of this letter?’ He asnwered: ‘O Rasulullah, don’t be so hasty in punishing me. I have a very close relationship with the people of Quraysh. I formerly had been their ally although it was not me who became their backbone. Among the people of Muhajirin who are together with you, there are many who have relatives in Makkah who look after the families and possessions they left behind. Although those Quraysh people do not have a genealogical relationship with me, but I wish that there are some among them who want to look after my relatives. I did this so not because I have become murtad at all, nor because I want to become kafir after I have embraced Islam…’
Rasulullah SAW then said to his sahabahs: “Indeed, this person has been telling the truth to you!”
Umar Ibnul Khattab replied: “O Rasulullah, allow me to just chop off the neck of that munafiq!” Rasulullah replied promptly: “He participated in the battle of Badr! Do you know, if Allah SWT elevates the dignity of those who participated in the battle of Badr, thus Allah speaks: ‘Do as you like, I have forgiven you…!'”
O akhi.. we know and are haqqul yaqin that the sins of those who conducted jihad and are killed in Allah’s cause, will be forgiven form the first drop of their blood…
“There are six things that are provided by Allah for one who dies shaheed: his sins are forgiven from the first drops of his blood; he will be shown his place in paradise; kept away from the torment of the grave; he will be spared the torment of the grave; he will be protected from the greater terror (of the Day of Judgement); A crown of dignity, will be placed on his head, one ruby of which is better than this world and all that is in it; he will be married to seventy two of al-hoor al-‘iyn; and he will be permitted to intercede for seventy of his relatives.” (HR. Ahmad, At-Tirmidzi -hadith hasan, and Ibnu Majah with a saheeh sanad)
This youth… who continued to receive criticism… with all his ability.. has tried to destroy the enemies of Allah!! Stepping forward boldly and without even a bit of hesitation, to sacrifice his life for the glory of this religion… not the least he was tempted by the future that seems bright for a young man like him… a strong body… he gives for Allah… a brilliant brain that made him able to arrange strategies to enter into the enemy lines.. he gives to Allah….
Indeed.. my life, my ibaadah and my death.. are only for Allah…
Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!

New statement from M’āssadah al-Mujāhidīn: "Oh God, Have We Reached, Oh God, Bear Witness"

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله قاهر الجبابرة، كاسر الأكاسرة، قاصم ظهور القياصرة. الحمد لله القائل: {أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَاتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيرٌ الَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا مِن دِيَارِهِمْ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ إِلاَّ أَن يَقُولُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ وَلَوْلا دَفْعُ اللَّهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لَّهُدِّمَتْ صَوَامِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَصَلَوَاتٌ وَمَسَاجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا اسْمُ اللَّهِ كَثِيرًا وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ الَّذِينَ إِن مَّكَّنَّاهُمْ فِي الأرْضِ أَقَامُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَمَرُوا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَنَهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَلِلَّهِ عَاقِبَةُ الأُمُورِ}. والقائل: {كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِتَالُ وَهُوَ كُرْهٌ لَكُمْ وَعَسَى أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ وَعَسَى أَنْ تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ}. والقائل: {وَلَوْلا دَفْعُ اللَّهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لَفَسَدَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى العَالَمِينَ}. والصلاة والسلام على من روى عنه أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه فقال جاء رجل إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ يُرِيدُ أَخْذَ مَالِي قَالَ: فَلَا تُعْطِهِ مَالَكَ. قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قَاتَلَنِي قَالَ: قَاتِلْهُ قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قَتَلَنِي قَالَ: فَأَنْتَ شَهِيدٌ. قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قَتَلْتُهُ قَالَ هُوَ فِي النَّارِ. هذا فيمن يريد أن يعتدي على المال، فكيف بنا فيمن أراد واعتدى على الدين والعرض والحرمات، يقول شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية رحمه الله تعالى: ” فالعدو الصائل الذي يفسد الدين والدنيا لا شيء أوجب بعد الإيمان من دفعه “إهـ. وبعد: فإنَّ حماس المرتدة قد طبقت ولا زالت تطبق خطط الكفار، وتوالي الأشرار، وتحكم بقانون وضعي يضاهي حكم القهار، وتعادي أولياء الله الأخيار من المجاهدين وتستهزئ بالموحدين الأبرار، وتكمم أفواه المصلحين وتسجن من يدعهم إلى تحكيم شريعة رب العالمين، اتبعوا أهوائهم فزين لهم الشيطان أعمالهم. ورغم تحذيرنا من الوقوع في مصايدهم وتجنب مباشرتهم بالقتال، وفعل كل ما بالإمكان من أجل تحقيق ذلك، حتى نفرغ طاقاتنا ونكرس إمكانياتنا لضرب العدو المحتل، وبذل جهدنا لأن تشاركنا حماس جهادنا وتنحاز لنا فتقيم شرع ربنا وتقاتل في صفنا، أو أن تكف عن ملاحقتنا، ويعرضوا عنا، ولكن عدائها واعتدائها زاد يوماً بعد يوم رغم كثرة النصح ومحاولات التصحيح، واللوم إلاَّ أنَّها أبت إلاَّ أن تعلن حربها الشرسة المسعورة والضروس علينا ولا يزال الأمر في تصعيد مستمر يرمون من ورائها استئصال شأفتنا، استباحوا حرماتنا، واستحلوا دمائنا، واعتقلوا شبابنا، ودمروا مساجدنا، وصادروا عتادنا، وانتهكوا أعراضنا، وأعملوا في مشايخنا قتلاً وأسراً وتعذيباً ومطاردةً، وفي الجانب الآخر تجد الكافر عندهم معززاً مكرماً وله حقوق أكثر من أهل الأرض نفسها. وإننا إزاء ما فعلوه بنا نقول لهم لسنا كغيرنا، وإيَّاكم أن تختبروا قدرتنا وصلابتنا فيلين الحديد ولا نلين، ولا نخشى الجمع أو اللوم ولا التهديد، وليكن في علمكم بأننا لا نهتم بالنتائج بقدر اهتمامنا بالمناهج {الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُواْ لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزَادَهُمْ إِيمَاناً وَقَالُواْ حَسْبُنَا اللّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فَانقَلَبُواْ بِنِعْمَةٍ مِّنَ اللّهِ وَفَضْلٍ لَّمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ وَاتَّبَعُواْ رِضْوَانَ اللّهِ وَاللّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَظِيمٍ} فإن لم تقفوا عند حدكم فسنقاتلكم جميعاً يهوداً ومعتدين، وستكونون في النهاية الخاسرين، ولا تغرنكم كثرة عددكم وعدتكم التي كنتم تدعون أنَّها لليهود فاستخدمتموها ضد المجاهدين، أما نحن فإننا نؤمن أنَّ من النبيين من آمن معه رجل ورجلين ومنهم من نصره الله بعصاً وأغرق عدوه بين شقين، فلا تظنوا أننا غير جاهزين ولكم مستسلمين. ورغم أننا لا نتمنى لقاء العدو إلاَّ أنَّه لا يسعنا إن لم تكف حماس يدها عنا، وتطلق جميع أسرانا، ومعتقلينا، وتتركننا وشأننا، أن ندع كلمة الفصل للسيوف فنمزقهم كل ممزق، ونذيقهم من الوبال، والنكال ما لا طاقة لهم به، وستصدق أقوالنا ثباتنا وأفعالنا، فإن القوة هي اللغة الوحيدة التي يفهمها عدونا ويستجيب بها مطالبنا. {قُلْ هَلْ تَرَبَّصُونَ بِنَا إِلَّا إِحْدَى الْحُسْنَيَيْنِ وَنَحْنُ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمْ أَنْ يُصِيبَكُمُ اللَّهُ بِعَذَابٍ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ أَوْ بِأَيْدِينَا}. ولست ابالي حين اقتل مـسـلــمـا *** على أي جنب كان في الله مصرعي وذلـك فـي ذات الالـه وإن يشـأ *** يبارك على أوصال شلوٍ مـمـزع هذا من الناحية العقدية، أما من الناحية الشرعية فمن لم يوافقنا من أهل العلم في قتالكم من باب الردة فإنه لا شك يوافقنا على ذلك من باب الدفع، وإننا نعدكم بعد اليوم إن لم تعودوا إلى دينكم ورشدكم، أن لا يكون قتالنا لكم عمل فردي أو ارتجالي وإنما سيكون الأمر جماعي، ولن يحول بيننا وبينكم لا وعد ولا وعيد ولا زمجرة ولا تهديد ولا نظنكم إلاَّ أجبن مما تظهرون وأضعف مما تتصورون. فاللهم أعنا عليهم .. اللهم أعنا عليهم.. اللهم أعنا عليهم. اللهم احصهم عددا.. واقتلهم بددا.. اللهم اجعلهم وأموالهم غنيمة للمجاهدين. وصلى الله وسلم على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحابته أجمعين. {وَاللّهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَى أَمْرِهِ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ} مأسدة المجاهدين في فلسطين السبت 12 جمادى الأولى 1432هـ الموافق 16 أبريل2011م

Shamūkh al-Islām Arabic Forum features new article from online jihādī Abū Usāmah al-Kūbī [Cuban]: "America: Truce or Overthrow"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

UPDATE 4/19 9:22 AM: Here is an English translation of the below message from Dār al-Murābiṭīn Publications:

In the name of Allah the most gracious, the most mercifulPraise is to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds and peace and blessings of Allah on the truthful and trustworthy, and on his family and companions. To proceed The countdown to the ceasefire began with the American declaration of its withdrawal from Afghanistan the next year. It tried to hasten its withdrawal in the shade of the national uprisings but Europe was defiant in the matter and forced it to get involved against the danger of the grandsons of Umar Al Mukhtar that is closer to Europe and which has started representing the first danger on Europe and the West due to the closeness of lofty Algeria from the area of the conflict in which various kinds of weapons are available in abundance. And this is what has made America leave its interests in the Gulf in spite of what is happening in Bahrain which hosts the largest American base in the area, and what is happening on its grounds of the Rafidi uprising who they portray to be the enemies of America while actually they are allies and then instead of it, the Saudi puppet moved to cover the gap of America at a time which is supposed to be the most crucial in the rule of the family of Saud and that is the time before their fall by the will of Allah And this gives clear indications that the security situation in Europe is important to America in the highest degree, instead it gives it precedence over its own external interests example the oil of the gulf, and had it not been for the financial, political and military support of Europe to America, then America would not have been capable of staying in Afghanistan until now And if the ‘lone lion’s’ jihad is setup now in Europe then America will fall before the end of the year by the will of Allah, and then its accepting the ceasefire will be of no use Also, the Arabian peninsula and Yemen specifically, have started equaling Libya in danger on Europe in fact on the whole world, and this is what has made America withdraw from Libya and look at Yemen extensively and is forcing its embassy in Sanaa to contain the protests and speed the end of the situation and transfer the rule to the new agents, through who they want to console the nation. For al Qaida has become the first substitute by the will of Allah and especially from the south to Sa’dah And this is the front that will make America fall by the help of Allah, wherein, the incapacity of the Pentagon this year is a hundred million dollars and it will be forced to enter this front and it is the final trap, Allah willing. And it pushed its agent Saudi, to Aden so that it becomes its substitute on the land and they occupy the air with their aircraft and this proves the military and financial weakness of America and these two components are the components of power and success. And if Iran starts the war on Saudi Arabia, then Saudi Arabia will withdraw from Aden and leave America alone and they will also withdraw from Bahrain on the soil of which, Saudi Arabia wants to finalize the war with the Rafidah. And America wants to break Saudi Arabia along with it so that it is easy for Iran and its allies in the region to destroy Saudi Arabia quickly before there is an organized Jihadi assembly on the land of the two Holy Sanctuaries that aids the Jihad in Yemen and Iraq and Somalia and this is the great danger on America and the West but they will suffer it forcefully. And what is our role, we, the allies of Jihad and the Mujahedeen? First: Intensifying the call to Jihad and inciting people to it. Second: Clarifying the false flags and warning people against them and specially the youth of jihad so that what happened to some of those who appear being connected to jihad in Yemen like Abu Asim alAhdal and others who went together to who is known as the Participant “Mushtarik” who is gathering the thrown out, outcasts from the democratic brotherhood members calling for rectification in Yemen and with them the Huwaithis and others from the people of falsehood and this is because of their ignorance of Tawheed and Jihad. And we should not forget that the governments will try to start jihad and there will be flags it will raise and it will have scholars of evil who will aid them, so clarifying the flags is important in the coming phase. Third: Media, financial and military preparation and directing the human units towards the battlefields to cover the deficiency in them. Fourth: The exchange of information and experiences and filling of the Jihadi sites with information that is important for the mujahedeen in the battlefields. Fifth: We should carry the responsibility of this Great War which shall bring together the Christians and Rafidah and their followers against the people of Islam. O Allah we ask you guidance and correct direction O Allah grant victory to the mujahedeen in your way everywhere O Allah be for our brothers in the peninsula a support and aid Abu Asmaa al Kubi Jamadi Al Ula 4
