New statement from at-Taḥadī al-Islāmīyyah Forum: "Congratulations and Homage [to Usāmah Bin Lāden]"

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم {مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُم مَّن قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلاً} الحمد لله رب العالمين، متخذ الشهداء من صفوة المؤمنين، والصلاة والسلام على سيد المرسلين، قائد المجاهدين وخاتم المرسلين. وبعد: فإننا نهنئ إخواننا في تنظيم قاعدة الجهاد باستشهاد الشيخ أسامة بن لادن -رحمه الله- الذي قدم لهذه الأمة ما عرفه وما لا يعرفه الناس، قدم الغالي والثمين، والنفس والنفيس، من أجل تحرير الدين والعرض والأرض، ولتكون كلمة الله هي العليا، فكان حقاً نعم مبلغ رسالة، وحامل أمانة، وقائد أمة، وعلى مثله فلتبكي الأرض كلها، فلقد عمل من أجل الجميع، ولم يمت في بلده بين أمواله ونعم الله التي آتاه، وإنما قتل في باكستان أرض العز والإباء، أرض الجهاد والإستشهاد، التي حملت راية الجهاد، لتمكين شريعة رب العباد، وفخراً لك يا باكستان بأن ترتوي بدماء شيخنا أسامة، ونصرٌ لك يا قاعدة الجهاد بأن جعل الله أقوال وأفعال أسامة في قلوب وعقول كل العباد، فما أحبه وهنأ باستشهاده إلا مؤمنين، وما بغضه وطبل لمقتله إلا منافق. وإننا في شبكة التحدي الإسلامية كغيرنا من الأنصار والمجاهدين فى العالمين، نؤكد بأن مقتل الشيخ أسامة وأمثاله لن يفت في عضدنا، وإنما يعطينا دفعة جديدة وقوية للإستمرار في طريقه، ولذا فإننا نعاهد الله بأن نثأر له ولمن كان ينتقم لهم، ولنسيرن على دربه حتى يأذن الله لنا بالفتح أو أمر من عنده. ولا يفوتنا في هذا المقام بأن نعلن بيعتنا لنائبه الشيخ أيمن الظواهري -حفظه الله- على السمع والطاعة والنصرة في المنشط والمكره وأثرةً على أنفسنا. تقبل الله شهيد الإسلام، وألهم من وآلاه الصبر والسلوان، ووفق جمع الموحدين للأخذ بثأئره والإنتقام. وصلى الله وسلم على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم والحمد لله رب العالمين شبكة التحدي الإسلامية

New statement from the Shūrā Council of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "On the Occasion of the Great Martyr Shaykh Mujāhid Usāmah Bin Lāden"

UPDATE 5/6 3:12 PM: Here is an English translation of the statement below:
Jamadi-ul-Thani 02, 1432 A.H, Friday, May 06, 2011
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
“Among the believers, there are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Some fulfilled their vow by death and some are still awaiting and they have not changed in the least”.
(The Holy Quran, Surah 33. “The Clans”, verse 23)
The Caller to Islamic Jihad against the invading infidels, Sheikh Osama bin Laden, embraced martyrdom as per the Will of the Almighty Allah during an abrupt attack by the American invading soldiers. (We are creation of Allah and return to Him.)
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan extends its deep condolence to the family of the martyr, to his followers and to fighter Mujahideen of the way of Truth and to the Islamic Ummah on this occasion of the great tragedy. We pray to the Almighty Allah to accept, in His Sight, the sacrifice of the martyr. May, the Almighty Allah, salvage the Islamic Ummah from the current situation of crisis due to the impact of the blessing of the sacred Jihad and martyrdom of the martyr.
The martyr took part in the Jihad against the Soviet invasion with great honesty and bravery shoulder to shoulder with the Afghans. He offered such sacrifices in this way that the history of the Islamic Ummah will for ever remain proud of. Sheikh Osama bin Laden was the ardent advocate of the legitimate cause of the first Qibla of the Muslims, the Aqsa Mosque and the occupied Palestine . He was an indefatigable fighter against the Christian and Jewish aggressions in the Islamic World and was not sparing any effort in this cause. The life of this Mujahid, who felt the antagonism against Islam, was full of fatigues, sacrifices and hardships. The history of Islam will always keep their memory alive.
The way of Jihad and the path of defense of Islam is a way fraught with sacrifices and martyrdoms. Like any other follower of this way, Sheikh Osama had been aspiring to attain martyrdom in the cause of the Almighty Allah. He reached his ambition with bravery, dedication and commitment in the last moments of his life.
If the invading Americans and their Allies wallow in this optimism that the morale and ranks of Mujahideen will weaken in Afghanistan and other occupied Islamic countries following the martyrdom of Sheikh Osama bin Laden, it will only show their lack of insight. The sapling of Jihad has always grown, spruced and reached fructification through irrigation by pure blood. The martyrdom of a martyr leads to hundreds more to head to the field of martyrdom and sacrifice.
The current Jihadic movement of Afghanistan sprouted from among the masses and is representative of the aspirations of this proud people. In this land of the braves, a strike by colonialism breeds sympathy and produces (an urge) to strike back. If the Mujahid people were prone to submit to force and tyranny, then is there any gimmick both in terms of military muscles showdown and other devilish conspiracies that has been left by the Americans during the last decade? But the ground realities have it that the use of force brings in opposite consequences here. This popular movement can be bracketed with a spring which, when you pressurize, bounces back with the same intensity.
The Islamic Emirate believes, the martyrdom of Sheikh Osama bin Laden will give a new impetus to the current Jihad against the invaders in this critical phase of Jihad. The tides of Jihad will gain strength and width. The forthcoming time will prove this both for the friends and the foes, if God willing.
The Leadership Council of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

NOTE: On May 3, the Ṭālibān released a statement saying they believe UBL was still alive. It appears the message published by AQ earlier today has changed their mind.

(مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُم مَّن قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلاً)الأحزاب23

بقلوب مؤمنة بقدر الله وصابرة على قضائه تلقينا نبأ استشهاد الشيخ أبو عبد الله أسامة بن محمد بن لادن رحمه الله في هجوم مباغت للقوات الأمريكية المعتدية . إنّا لله و إنّا إليه راجعون.

إنّ إمارة أفغانستان الإسلامية تقدّم مواساتها في هذه المصيبة العظيمة للأمة الإسلامية جمعاء، و لأسرة الشهيد، ولأتباعه، و لجميع المجاهدين، و تسأل الله تعالى أن يتقبل من الشيخ الشهيد تضحيّاته، و أن ينجّي الأمة الإسلامية من الوضع المأساوي الراهن ببركة جهاده ، و استشهاده في سبيله.

إن الشهيد – رحمه الله تعالى- كان من حماة جهاد الأفغان الإسلامي ضد الإتحاد السوفيتي المعتدي، و اشترك بكل إخلاص و شجاعة في الجهاد مع الأفغان إلى أن خرجت القوّات السوفيتية الغازية من أفغانستان. و قد قدّم في الجهاد في سبيل الله من التضحيات العظيمة ما سيفتخر بها تاريخ أمة الإسلام دوماً.

وعلاوة على هذا فإنّ الشيخ الشهيد- رحمه الله تعالى- كان من أقوى المدافعين عن قضية قبلة المسلمين الأولى،قضية الأقصى و فلسطين المحتلة الإسلامية، كما أنّه كان أعظم مجاهد لا يعرف الكلل في كفاحه ضدّ الاعتداآت الصهيو الصليبية في العالم الإسلامي أجمع.

كان – رحمه الله – يشارك المسلمين في مآسيهم و مصائبهم في كل أرجاء العالم، و كان يدافع عن المسلمين المستضعفين والمجاهدين والمهاجرين. و كان لا يتوقّف أبدا عن التضحية في سبيل حرّيّة الأمة الإسلامية، و نصرتها، وإسعادها.

إنّ حياة هذا المجاهد المتألم للإسلام كانت حافلة بالمشاقّ، و المتاعب، و التضحيات، و سيحتفظ تاريخ الإسلام ذكراه حيّة للأجيال القادمة.

وبما أنّ طريق الجهاد والدفاع عن الإسلام هو طريق التضحيّات، و الفداء، و الإستشهاد، والشهيد أسامة- رحمه الله- كأيّ مجاهد آخر كان يتمنى الشهادة في هذا السبيل، فها هو اليوم نال أمنيّته بكلّ رجولة و غيرة على الإسلام، نسأل الله تعالى أن يتقبله ويرزقه الفردوس الأعلى.

إن کان الأمریکیون المحتلّون و حلفاؤهم یظنون أن صفوف المجاهدین و معنویاتهم القتالیة في أفغانستان وغیرها من البلاد المحتلّة ستضعف بمقتل الشیخ أسامة بن لادن رحمة الله علیه، فإن هذا یدلّ علی سذاجة تفکیر الأمریکیین وعدم إدراکهم لمعاني الجهاد و الاستشهاد.

لأن شجرة الجهاد ارتوت، و ترعرت، و أثمرت دوماً من دماء الشهداء الزکیة. و بعد استشهاد کلّ شهید یتقدّم مئة آخرون إلی میادین التضحیة والفداء .

ولتعلم أمريكا أن الحرکة الجهادیة الموجودة الآن في أفغانستان نشأت من وسط الشعب الأفغاني، وهي تعبّر عن مشاعر وآمال هذا الشعب الأبيّ. وکل ضربة من المحتلّین في هذا البلد تُوَلّد ردّ فعل أقوی من الضربة، وتوجِد تضامناً من الشعب للمجاهدین .

ولوکان هذا الشعب المؤمن یستسلم لقوة العدوّ واستکباره لا ستسلم للقوّة العسکرية الشیطانیة الأمریکیة خلال عشر سنوات ماضیة. ولکن التجارب والواقع أثبتا أن نتائج إعمال القوّة في هذا البلد تکون معکوسة، و أن مَثَل هذه الحرکة الشعبیة مِثل حرکة نابذ الإرجاع الذي کلّما وقع علیه الضغط أکثر، کان دفعه الإرجاعي أقوی.

إن إمارة أفغانستان الإسلامیة تعتقد أن استشهاد الشیخ أسامة رحمة الله عليه في هذه المرحلة الحسّاسة من الجهاد سینفخ روحاً جدیدة في الجهاد ضدّ المحتلّین، وسیُهّیج الموجات الجهادیة أکثر وأکثر.

وسیثبت الزمن القادم للصدیق والعدوّ معاً- إن شاء الله تعالی – صدق ما نقوله.

الشورى القيادي لإمارة أفغانستان الإسلامية

New statement from al-Qā’idah: "You Lived Benevolent and Died a Martyr: Statement on the Death of Usāmah Bin Lāden"

Update 5/6 8:39 AM: Via CNN, here is an English translation of the below statement:
Al-Qaeda statement calls the day ” a historic day of the days of the great Islamic umma (nation) and in a noble stand of one of its great men and heroes across its blessed age and on the path taken by the will of all the mighty predecessors and those who will follow them, the Sheikh, the Mujahid & the Commander, the pious migrant fighter, Abu Abdullah Osama bin Muhammad bin Laden, may God have mercy on him was killed in a place where truth shines and where sincerity for good deeds and the call for truthfulness exist. Bin Laden was killed so he can follow the mighty caravan of the umma (the nation) with the great leaders, the loyal soldiers, and the honest knights who refused to abandon their faith for the mundane lives and to hand over the command to those who will be humiliate them and be humiliated and that’s why they confronted the weaponry with weaponry, force with force and accepted to challenge the arrogant masses that came out to fight with their killing machines, equipments, aircrafts and forces boastfully so they can be seen as men, and still this didn’t weaken their resolve and didn’t drain their strength, but instead he stood up for them face to face, a mighty mountain, a proud mountain and he was still in the midst of the battle that many got used to and his eyes were used to its sceneries but after that, he was yet to be excused and delivered his message and then he was shot bullets of betrayal and blasphemy delivering his soul to its maker while repeating: ‘Who sacrifice the blessed soul for his Lord to fight off the falsehood CANNOT ever be blamed’.”
“Congratulations to the Islamic Nation on the martyrdom of their devoted son Osama,
Even when the Americans managed to kill Osama, they managed to do ONLY that by disgrace and betrayal. Men and heroes only should be confronted in the battlefields but at the end, that’s God’s fate. Still we ask, will the Americans be able thru their media outlets, their agents, their instruments, soldiers, intelligence services and their might be able to kill what Sheikh Osama lived for and was killed for? How far! How impossible! Sheikh Osama didn’t build an organization that will vanish with his death or fades away with his departure.
In this context, we in al Qaeda Jihad organization promise God Almighty and we ask Him for help, support and steadfastness to continue on the path of jihad that our leaders, led by Sheikh Osama chose, and that we will not be reluctant, and will not deviate from that honorable path until God be the final judge between us and our enemy.
We also stress that the blood of the mujahid sheikh Osama bin Laden, may God have mercy on him is VERY dear to us and more precious to us and to every Muslim from being shed in vain and this blood (OBL’s blood) will be a curse that will chase the Americans and their agents, a curse that will pursue them inside and outside their country, and soon – with God’s help – we pray that their happiness turns into sorrow and may their bloods mix with their tears and let Sheikh Osama’s resonate again that “America will neither enjoy nor live in security until our people in Palestine live it and enjoy it. The soldiers of Islam in groups and as individuals will continue to plan and plot without any fatigue, boredom, despair, surrender or indifference until you receive from them a cunning misfortune that will gray the hair of the child even before he gets old.
We call upon our Muslim people in Pakistan where our dear Sheikh Osama was killed on their soil to rise up and revolt so they can cleanse this disgrace that was brought upon them by a handful of traitors and thieves who have sold everything to the enemies of the Muslim nation, and disregarded the feelings of this great Muajhid (Pakistani) people and let them rise up and start a massive public uprising to cleanse their country (Pakistan) from the filth of the Americans who have wreaked havoc in the land”.
Al-Qaeda chimes in to OBL’s body controversy and tells its supporters that OBL had one more message for them.
“The sheikh (OBL) didn’t leave this world before taking part in sharing the joy with his Muslim Umma (nation) regarding its revolutions when the nation has risen in the face of injustice and the tyrants and may God have mercy on him, the sheikh recorded an audio message one week before his killing that we will release soon, God willing and his audio message included a congratulation greeting, advices and a guidance. He ended his audio message with the following verses:
Saying the righteousness to the tyrants is the splendor & the gospel.
This is the path leading to the mundane life, this is the path leading to the hereafter.
You can die a slave if you wish or die a free man, this is your choice.
Moreover, we warn the Americans of any injustice to be made to the corpse of Sheikh Osama, God’s mercy be upon him or that he will be mistreated in any despicable manner and this warning includes the mistreatment of any member of the sheikh’s honorable family whether they are dead or alive and that the bodies must be handed over to the families because any inappropriate treatment will open the doors of double evil and you will only be blaming yourselves for your own deeds. We call upon all Muslims to do their duty in enforcing this right.”

Four new Fatāwā from Minbar at-Tawḥīd wa'l-Jihād

New article from a member of the Anṣār al-Mujāhidīn English Forum: "Shaykh Usāmah Bin Lāden Between Jihād and Martydom for the sake of Allah"

 
Salaam Alaykom wa rahmatollah wa barakatuh,
In the Name of Allah, the Most gracious, Most merciful.

Praise be to Allah, Lord of Creation; Lord and Supporter of the oppressed monotheists; Breaker and Vanquisher of unjust tyrants. Peace and blessings be upon the Seal of the Prophets, and their master; Imam and exemplar of the Mujahideen; and upon his household and his companions and those guided by his guidance; revive his Sunnah until the Day of Judgment.
More than 48 hours have passed and still there is no official statement from Al-Fajr media regarding the Martyrdom of Sheikh Osama bin laden. The supporters of the Mujahideen are waiting for the official statement with their hands on their hearts. Many people are waiting for a denial statement and others are waiting for a confirmation. The people who are waiting for the statement are divided into 2 groups. We have the Believers on one side and the people of infidelity and apostasy on the other side. The first group is hoping for a denial statement and other is waiting for a confirmation.
The world we are living in is also divided into 2 groups. Our beloved Sheikh Osama bin Laden stated that, “the world is divided in a group of believers and a group of disbelievers“. This was not only said by Sheikh Osama bin Laden but also by George W. Bush (May Allah Curse him). He said “You are with us or with the Terrorist“. In other words you are with the soldiers of Allah or with the forces of Iblees. He is a liar but the said the truth.
I do not want to waste my time by analyzing what is said by the main stream media. There are hundreds of reports regarding the “assassination” which only cast more doubts and reduces our enthusiasm in Support of the Mujahideen. 

That is why I want to focus on other important issues.
I think that many of us have read the Biography of the Prophet Mohammad (SAS). The most sad part is the death/martyrdom of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
What caught my attention was the reaction of Umar R.A and Abu Bakr R.A. 

Umar’s Reaction: 
Umar R.A, who was so stunned that he almost lost consciousness and stood before people addressing them: 
Some of the hypocrites claim that the Messenger of Allâh died. The Messenger of Allâh did not die, but went to his Lord in the same way as Moses bin ‘Imran did. He stayed away for forty nights, but finally came back though they said he had been dead. By Allâh, the Messenger of Allâh will come back and he will cut off the hands and legs of those who claim his death.
Abu Bakr’s Reaction:
Abu Bakr R.A, left his house and came forth to the Mosque. At the Mosque, he dismounted and entered. He talked to nobody but went on till he entered ‘Aishah’s abode, and went directly to where the Messenger of Allâh was. The Prophet was covered with a mantle. He uncovered his face and tended down, kissed him and cried. Then he said: “I sacrifice my father and mother for your sake. Allâh, verily, will not cause you to die twice. You have just experienced the death that Allâh had ordained.”
Then he went out and found ‘Umar talking to people. He said: 
“‘Umar, be seated.” ‘Umar refused to do so. People parted ‘Umar and came towards Abu Bakr, who started a speech saying:

And now, he who worships Muhammad . Muhammad is dead now. But he who worships Allâh, He is Ever Living and He never dies.

Allâh says in the Glorious Quran:
 Muhammad (SAW) is no more than a Messenger, and indeed (many) Messengers have passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you then turn back on your heels (as disbelievers)? And he who turns back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allâh, and Allâh will give reward to those who are grateful. [3:144]

My dear brothers and sisters,
– Did the Companions turn back on their heals? 
– Did the Companions stop spreading the word of Allah?
– Did the Companions lose hope?
NO! NO! NO!
The Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, marched forward and conquered the holy land. They sacrificed everything to make the word of Allah supreme on earth.
– Did the 
تابعين turn back on their heals after the death of Abu Bakr?
– Did the 
تابعين turn back on their heals after the Martyrdom of Umar?
– Did the 
تابعين turn back on their heals after the Martyrdom of Ali?
– Did the 
تابعين turn back on their heals after the Martyrdom of Uthman?
NO! NO! NO!

They continued in their Da’wa and Jihad. They eliminated infidelity and replaced it with Faith (by the permission of Allah).
And now it is our turn.
In 2006 we lost a great Mujahid leader in the Land of the Two Rivers. The Rejectionist celebrated his death and were shouting that his death is the end of Al-Qaida in Iraq. After the Martyrdom of Abu Mus’ab Al-Zarqawi we received the great news of the establishment of the Islamic State of Iraq.
Nobody heard of Abu Omar al-Baghdadi heretofore. After his first speech we heard a voice of faith and determination. His actions Spoke Louder Than his Words. His Companion Abu Hamza al-Muhajir always made us cry of joy. Every week we watched the soldiers of the Islamic State of Iraq eliminating the kufaar and murtadeen.
In Somalia we lost a great leader 
Aden Hashi Farah Ayrow R.A. After his Martyrdom we saw the youths of Somalia capturing village after village, city after city and province after province. Not only that but they are also implementing the Islamic Law with great support of the Somali People.
In every field we see the Mujahideen becoming stronger by the day.
By the Permission of Allah!
So what if Osama bin Laden received Martyrdom?
My dear brothers and sisters, Sheikh Osama bin Laden did not leave the worldly life to earn more money. He left the worldly life to sacrifice his soul and wealth for the sake of Allah. He did this to receive martyrdom for the sake of Allah (SWT).

Death has to arrive once in life
Then why should it not end on martyrdom?
The final of Prophets and Apostles (SAS) has wished for this status. So be aware of and do not forget about this status. He, who is the most supreme of all creation, wished for this level: the desire to be a martyr. 
He said, “By Him in Whose Hands Muhammad‘s (SAS) life is! It is more beloved to me to be martyred in fighting Allāh’s Cause and then fight and then get martyred, and then fight and then get martyred” 
So, the gain of this spacious life for him – upon whom revelation descended from the Lord, the Most Glorious and Exalted, of Heavens and the Earth – was explained very briefly, that he himself was a desirer of this lofty status. So, fortunate is he whom Allāh blesses with the status of martyrdom. 

Message to the (Supporters) Ansar al-Mujahideen
Our job is to bring the jihadist media to the next level. We have succeeded in propagating the words of the fields to the borders of the countries. We are with hundreds or thousands of members. Let us work together and become one moving body. We need to spend our time in seeking knowledge and acting upon it. 

I pray that Allah Almighty dispose our hearts in obedience to Him and to make us steadfast in His Religion; and to use us to champion His Religion and its proponents. I pray that He makes possible for us the path to meet and for Him to be pleased with us, to enable us to glorify the obedient people and humiliate the disobedient people. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all that exists. 

Hasten..hasten..and hurry up, you the companions! It’s Allah has opened the door; The door of Paradise and in my soul The melody of the charming hope. March forth in the way and never be humiliated Ignore the subservient and the doubtful And put aside the worldly life and dedicate yourself To the religion of Allah the One accepting repentance


ولا تنسونا من صالح الدُعاء
Don’t Forget Us in Your Prayers 

Was salaam Alaykom
