New statement from Ḥarakat Anṣār Iran: "Message to the Rawāfiḍ Government of Iran Regarding the Threats and Recent Abduction of Our Innocent People"


In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
Yet again, the Rawafid regime and their intelligence services have committed another crime against Ahlus Sunnah in Iran. On Tuesday morning, the 24th of October 2012, the intelligence services of Iran marched into Meskutan Village (located in Nikshar City) with 12 vehicles and caused havoc and dismay. After kicking in doors and raiding houses, they abducted 4 innocent villagers; Kalandar Amiri, Muhammad Amine Amiri, Khair Muhammad Narui, and Amine Narui. Their current whereabouts remain unknown. Shortly after, a short and threating message was sent to the Mujahideen of Al-Ansar Iran, “If you don’t stop the operations against this regime, we will execute all the hostages.”
To all those involved in this abominable crime against the innocents, the Mujahideen of Al-Ansar Iran are sending you a stern warning. You all should know that capturing the innocent, putting difficulty on the innocent, and torturing the innocent, will not halt the operations of the Mujahideen. No, you have only given us more determination to fight you criminals, and we send you the glad tidings of a black eid, bi’ithnillah.
To Ahlus Sunnah of Iran and the innocent, we ask you not to involve yourselves in the affairs of the rawafid government and their military forces and not to reside in areas where the revolution guards, mersad, and other government officials gather. Our battle is only with the Rawafid government and their military forces, not with the civilians and innocent. Our goal is only to restore the honor of Ahllus Sunnah in Iran.

New statement from the Amīr of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Mullā Muḥmmad ‘Umar (Mullah Mohammad Omar): “Message Of Felicitation on the Occasion of ‘Īd al ‘Aḍḥā”


English:
Zil Hajj 07, 1433 A.H, Wednesday, October 24, 2012
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.
Praise be to Allah, the Sustainer of the Worlds and peace be on the leader of the two dominions, the noblest of the apostles, the Leader of Mujahideen, our prophet, Mohammad, the Chosen one (peace be upon him) and on his offspring and all his companions. Having said that, I would like to further say: I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the rejected one.
“Those who disbelieve, spend their wealth to debar others from the path of Allah. They will continue to spend it till it will become a cause of regret for them and in the end, they will be overcome. And those who disbelieve shall be gathered in Hell. Holy Quran (8:36)
When Jesus son of Mary said: “Children of Israel! Verily, I am the Messenger of Allah to you, confirming that (which came) before me and giving good news of an apostle that will come after me whose name shall be Ahmad.” Holy Quran 61:6
I extend my felicitation to all Muslim people of Afghanistan, to the gallant Mujahideen who are now arrayed against the invasion, to the families of the martyrs, to the disabled and the esteemed pilgrims in every part of the world, on this occasion of Eid-ul-Odha, a great day of selflessness, sacrifice and joy.
I pray to the Almighty Allah to bless the Islamic Ummah to spend these days of the Eid of Sacrifice, in joy, serenity and a feeling of euphoria. Similarly, I congratulate, the honor-loving and high-spirited Mujahideen brothers on the unprecedented military victories of the current year. May Allah, the Almighty give us and you (further) steadfastness and persistence and salvage our oppressed people from this unlawful invasion. Surely, the moments (of victory) are close at hand now rather than any other time else.
Mujahideen brothers!
You are in the scene witnessing that the ranks of Jihad do strengthen, experiencing expansion in every part of the country because of the close support of ( our) brave people with the Mujahideen and their sacrifices . Massive aggressive and Jihadic tactical attacks are carried out against the grand bases of the invaders. The (enemy) evacuate military bases and barracks in awe of Mujahideen. Some conscious daring Muslims from among the ranks of the regime installed by the invaders, launch decisive attacks against the cunning invading enemy. Those Afghans who have been deceived are now turning to the peaceful lap of the Islamic Emirate in groups as a result of the efforts underway by the Call and Guidance Commission. Other self-same developments and transformations are some of the achievements that we and you should, as an obligation, have to thank Allah (swt) for having them bestowed on us.
We ask the Almighty Allah with deep humbleness to grace us with further ability to achieve our goals, to remain committed to the aspirations of our Jihad, neither become arrogant ( to gloat) nor become heedless about the goals and sacred path of Jihad. We should seek the pleasure of Allah in the conduct of all affairs and make it our resolution to obey our superiors, to implement the bye-law of Jihad, and to work for the establishment of the Islamic system, the comfort and prosperity of our people, our nation of which you and we are a part and parcel, has gone through hardships, sufferings and oppression in the past over thirty years They deserve it as an obligation on us to behave with them with tolerance and good manners. It is because of the sacrifices, selflessness and daring feats of this very nation that you and we become able in keeping up the battle against such an arrogant power for eleven years triumphantly and face the enemy with defeat at all fronts.
You and we should feel the pain of the nation and share its grief. We should realize that complete victory and quashing of the enemy become possible only through the help of the Almighty Allah and the bilateral cooperation of our people. The superiors and subordinates of the Islamic Emirate should try to cement their unity, coherence and intimacy, avoid internal differences, conduct the affairs of Jihad with mutual sympathy and consultation, work out good plans for the quashing of the enemy and implement them; provide facilities for the common people, save them from the atrocities and brutalities of the invaders and the Arbakis, pay full attention to the prevention of civilian casualties.
The enemy has tried and is trying to blame the Mujahideen for the civilian casualties. Increase your efforts to expand the area of infiltration in the ranks of the enemy and to bring about better order and array in the work. This tactic will achieve more fruitful results, if God willing. Focus on honing behavior and raising level of knowledge of the Mujahideen. Explain to them all essential injunctions and ethics of Jihad, and pay attention to their education, vastness of insight and moral upbringing. Give a hand of help to the orphans, the disabled and the prisoners. This should remain inculcated in your mind that every action contrary to the religious requirements, and being based on sheer emotions bring in only wicked consequences.
We call on the Afghans who still stand with the stooge regime to turn to full-fledged cooperation with their Mujahid people like courageous persons in order to protect national interests and to complete independence of the country. Jihadic activities inside the circle of the State militias are the most effective stratagem. Its dimension will see further expansion, organization and efficiency if God willing.
I urge every brave Afghan in the ranks of the foreign forces and their Afghan hirelings who may find an opportunity to utilize this opportunity effectively and quash the enemies of Islam and country in their centers and use all possible means, opportunities and tactics to strike them. This is because Jihad is an obligation enjoined on every one. It is the duty of every individual of the nation from religious perspective and on the basis of his conscious to strive for the liberation and independence of his country.
The (local) chiefs of Mujahideen are instructed to submit (the names of) those heroes who have performed such exploits to the leadership for further recognition and acknowledgement of their daring actions.
As to the future political destiny of the country, I would like to repeat that we are neither thinking of monopolizing power nor intend to spark off domestic war but only try that the future political fate of the country must be determined by the Afghans themselves without any interference from big countries and neighbors, and it must be Islamic and Afghan in form.
After the independence of the country, we should have a Sharia-based national regime with the help of Allah, the Almighty, which will bring about a sole central authority and be free from every kind of discrimination and biases. Jobs will be given on merits; territorial integrity of the country will be protected. Security will be maintained, Sharia laws will be implemented, we will guarantee rights of both male and female of the country, build economic structures and strengthen social foundations and facilities of education for all people of the country in the light of the Islamic rules and national interests, conduct all academic and cultural affairs efficiently and will, with the help of the brave nation, foil the effort of those who harbor the notion of disintegrating Afghanistan and intend to flare up domestic war to achieve their goals. They should not think that the Afghan people are so simple-mined that they would break off their deep ideological, cultural, social and historical bonds among the fraternal ethnicities. The former Soviet Union pursued the same recipe of disintegration but the result was contrary to their efforts and they themselves became entrapped in their ploy.
We want to have good relations with all those who respect Afghanistan as an independent Islamic country and their relations and approaches are not domineering and colonialist. This is what every independent and Muslim Afghan wants.
About (efforts) to reach understanding with the foreigners, I would like to say that we would continue political endeavors along with military struggle in order to obtain our Islamic and national goals and aspirations. For this purpose, we have an entity in the shape of political office to conduct the political struggle. They interact with the foreigners in view of our Islamic, Jihadic and national interests. I should say that we have no other conduit to reach an understanding with the other side except through the Political Office, because we do not play politics on this issue covertly nor we can tolerate (others) to play this. We have framed our policy to reach the understanding on the bases of religious and national values and then we have publicly announced it. If the intelligence agencies and diplomatic circles of the invading countries want to create spurious channels of negotiation and fake faces (imposters) and then make them larger-than-life figures and channels through the media, it will be nothing more than a waste of time and duping their own people.
Since independence is the right of every one, so we urge the world, the international community, particularly, the Islamic countries and the Islamic conference to help us on the basis of their (moral) responsibility in ending the occupation of our Islamic country and obtaining its independence. Similarly, they should carry out their responsibility on the basis of human sympathy in releasing our prisoners who have been passing days and nights of miserableness in Guantanamo, Bagram, other prisons and in the prisons of the neighboring countries, particularly, the human rights organizations should feel their responsibility to find out about the human rights violations

New article from Abū Sa'd al 'Āmilī: "‘Īd al 'Aḍḥā: The School of Sacrifice and Redemption"

الحمد لله رب العالمين رب المستضعفين وناصرهم وقاصم الجبارين وقاهرهم، والصلاة والسلام على المبعوث رحمة للعالمين وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين، ثم أما بعد=&0=&=&1=&=&2=&=&1=&   وهذه هي طبيعة هذا الدين { ولنبلونكم بشيء من الخوف والجوع ونقص من الأموال والأنفس والثمرات، وبشر الصابرين ، الذين إذا أصابتهم مصيبة قالوا إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون، أولئك عليهم صلوات من ربهم ورحمة وأولئك هم المهتدون} [ البقرة].   فما نحن فيه من ابتلاء وتدافع مع أهل الباطل ومطادرة لأهل الحق في الشعاب وأسر للكثير من دعاتهم ومجاهديهم وحتى نسائهم وحصار لشيوخهم وذراريهم وتحريف أو تشويه لعقيدتهم ، كل هذا يُعتبر ظاهرة حسنة ودليل على صحة الطريق الذي نحن فيه، طريق الأنبياء والمرسلين ومن سار على هديهم يبتغون فضلاً من الله ورضواناً ويؤدون ثمناً باهظاً في دنيا الناس من عرقهم وأمنهم وذويهم ودمائهم، ولكنه بخس في أعينهم بسبب ما سينالونه عند ربهم جزاء هذه التضحيات.   نقف اليوم وفي كل عام مع عيد الأضحى المبارك وهو منسك عظيم يوافق يوم النحر ويوم الوقوف بعرفات بالنسبة للحجيج، وفي غير هذا المكان المقدس يقف المسلمون في ديارهم ليحتفلوا بهذا الحدث العظيم عن طريق التضحية في سبيل الله بالأنعام كرمز للتقرب إلى الله عز وجل بإسالة دماء هذه الأنعام بدلاً من إسالة دماء أبنائهم كما كان مقرراً مع أبينا إبراهيم الخليل مع ابنه إسماعيل عليهما الصلاة والسلام.   {فَلَمَّا أَسْلَما وَتَلَّهُ لِلْجَبِينِ (103) وَنادَيْناهُ أَنْ يا إِبْراهِيمُ (104) قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ الرُّؤْيا إِنَّا كَذلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ (105) إِنَّ هذا لَهُوَ الْبَلاءُ الْمُبِينُ (106) وَفَدَيْناهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ} [الصافات].   إن ديننا اليوم أحوج ما يكون إلى دماء طاهرة تسيل في سبيل الله لتعلي كلمة الحق عالية فوق كل الأديان الباطلة، وهو أحوج ما يكون إلى أبناء وهبوا أموالهم وأبناءهم قرباناً لله عز وجل لدفع الظلم الواقع على المستضعفين من الرجال والنساء والولدان من هذه الأمة.   لا ينبغي أن نقف عند إسالة دماء هذه الأنعام والتمتع بلحومها والفرح والسرور وسط أهلينا وذوينا ناسين مآسي المسلمين من حولنا، لأنه {فلن ينال اللهَ لحومها ولا دماؤها ولكن يناله التقوى منكم} [الحج].   إن أمة التضحية والفداء مطالبة بالسير على خطى خليل الله إبراهيم ومن جاء من بعده من الأنبياء والمرسلين، فلا ينبغي أن تنسلخ من أخص خصائصها وهي النفقة في العسر واليسر { وأنفقوا في سبيل الله ولا تلقوا بأيديكم إلى التهلكة}، وليس هناك أعظم ولا أزكى ولا أطهر من دماء زكية تهرق في سبيل الله لإعلاء كلمة الله، لذلك نال الشهيد تلك الدرجة العالية عند الله، وكما قلت من قبل فإن الاستشهاد هو قمة وذروة الشهادة كما أن الجهاد هو ذروة سنام الإسلام.   ما أود التذكير به هو أن مناسبة عيد الأضحى المبارك محطة لنا جميعاً لمراجعة أنفسنا وانتمائنا لهذا الدين، وهو بمثابة امتحان لكل واحد منا : هل هو قادر على التضحية بولده ثم بنفسه التي بين جنبيه لنصرة دين الله تعالى ؟ فالتضحية بالأنعام شيء يسير، وما هو إلا رمز لإعدادنا للتضحية بما هو أعظم وأغلى وأكبر، نفسك وولدك لتنال الدرجات العلا عند الله، ولينصر الله بنا دينه ويعلي رايته.   الحمد لله الذي ابتعث في هذه الأمة من يحيي هذه الذكرى ويجسد هذا العيد كل يوم في ساحات الوغى والتدافع مع أهل الباطل، فنرى فتية قد قاموا لربهم ووهبوا أنفسهم قرباناً لربهم لينالوا رضوانه وجنة عرضها السماوات والأرض، وينصروا الحق الذي آمنوا به بدمائهم وأرواحهم وليس فقط عبر القعود في بيوتهم وانتظار التمتع بلحوم وشحوم هذه الأنعام كما يفعل الكثيرون من أبناء هذه الأمة.   إن الله تعالى لابد ناصر دينه بأمثال هؤلاء، فالقلة المؤمنة الصابرة المضحية هي التي تصنع النصر وتقود الأمة من فتح إلى فتح ومن تمكين إلى تمكين، سنة الله ولن تجد لسنة الله تبديلاً.   وأود في ختام هذه الكلمة أن أوجه دعائي وسلامي لقادتنا العظام، هناك في ساحات الوغى حيث يصنعون النصر يوماً بعد يوم، وحيث يعطوننا دروساً في التضحية والفداء في كل لحظة وليس فقط في أيام عيد الأضحى المبارك.   أوجه سلامي ودعائي لهؤلاء العظماء، الأخفياء منهم والظاهرون، لأنهم هم الذين يستحقون الدعاء والعون والمدد والنصرة، لأنهم على ثغرعظيم، ولأنهم فقهوا معنى التضحية والفداء ، رمز هذا الدين وسره العظيم.   أقول لهم ولكل الشعوب المسلمة المرابطة ، تنتظر فرج الله ومدده ونصره، في بلاد الشام وفي بلاد خراسان، وفي بلاد القوقاز، وفي أرض الصومال ومنطقة القرن الإفريقي، وفي بلاد المغرب الإسلامي والساحل الإسلامي، وفي بلاد الرافدين، وفي جزيرة العرب، وفي أرض فلسطين الحبيبة عامة وقطاع غزة خاصة، ولأسرانا في سجون الظالمين من كفار ومرتدين، رجالاً ونساءاً، علماء وطلبة علم ومجاهدين، وفي بلاد تركستان المسلوبة، وفي بلدان جنوب شرقي آسيا، وللموحدين المطاردين والمحاصرين في بلاد الغرب الصليبي، وفي كل مكان من أرض الله الواسعة :   أثبتوا على ما أنتم عليه فإنكم والله على الحق، ونحن من ورائكم ننصركم ونذب عنكم ما استطعنا ونرد عادية المعتدين والمخذلين والمثبطين، ونقاتل إلى جانبكم بكل ما نملك لعل الله يرحمنا ويكتب لنا بعضاً من أجركم وإن أجركم عند الله عظيم.   تقبل الله قربانكم وتضحياتكم ودماءكم يا من رفع الله بكم دينه ونصره وأرهب بكم عدوه وقهره وحمى بكم أولياءه، وكل عام وأنتم مجاهدون صابرون محتسبون، مضحون بما تملكون ونحن بحول الله معكم ومنكم ووراءكم، نسالم من سالمتم ونعادي من عاديتم ونحارب من حاربتم.   ونتضرع إلى الله العلي القدير، الغفور الرحيم، الجواد الكريم، أن يتقبل شهداءنا جميعاً ويجعل دماءهم عربون صدق ووفاء لهم على إخلاصهم لربهم، وسقياً طيباً مباركاً لينتشر به هذا الدين ويتجذر في قلوب العباد قبل البلاد، ويعجل بالفرج والنصر والفتح المبين لمن حمل الراية من بعدهم، والحمد لله الذي بنعمته تتم الصالحات.   أعاد كتابته
