New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Concerning the Latest Transgressions on al-Āqsā Mosque By the Israeli Occupiers"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q
The occupying forces of the Zionist regime have been attacking al-Aqsa for some time now which has resulted in martyrdom and injury of tens of Palestinians inside the sacred al-Quds and the outer Palestinian occupied territories.
The Zionist invaders are ruthlessly firing upon the unarmed hermits and prayers goers who are defending the sacred al-Aqsa mosque with bare hands.
Unfortunately the Zionists are carrying out this brutality against al-Aqsa mosque and its Muslim prayer-goers in plain sight of all the human right defenders who are witnessing the crimes of these invaders but have yet to respond effectively towards it.
Masjid al-Aqsa as the first Qibla of Muslims holds an Islamic right upon the entire Ummah who must defend its sacred premises and repel the transgressing Jews.
The Islamic Emirate strongly condemns this savagery of the occupying Zionists on the first Qibla of the Muslims and calls upon the Islamic Conference and all the leaders of the Islamic world, human right organizations and the just fair people worldwide to exert efforts and prevent the continuous barbaric aggression by the Israeli occupiers on the oppressed Palestinians and the holy al-Aqsa mosque as part of their religious, ethical and humanitarian responsibility.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding the 14th Year of the American Invasion of Afghanistan"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q
أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَاتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيرٌ ( 39(الَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا مِن دِيَارِهِم بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ إِلَّا أَن يَقُولُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ۗ وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ اللَّهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لَّهُدِّمَتْ صَوَامِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَصَلَوَاتٌ وَمَسَاجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا اسْمُ اللَّهِ كَثِيرًا ۗ وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ (40)
Fourteen years ago today the American invaders launched their invasion of our sacred homeland in violation of all humanitarian and accepted international laws.
The savage Americans justified their brutal invasion of Afghanistan as revenge for the 9/11 attacks despite the fact that this justification was totally irrational because the Afghans were neither involved nor aware of the 9/11 incident. However Bush and his coalition backers invaded Afghanistan without any proof and in violation of all international laws.
The goals for which this invasion was carried out have not only not been achieved but everything has turned out vice versa.
The Americans set out the four following objectives to justify their brutal invasion:
Firstly to depose the legitimate government of Afghanistan, the Islamic Emirate
Secondly to abolish narcotics production/trade
Thirdly to bring about a government conforming with the wishes of the Afghans
Fourthly to bring security and put an end to the fighting
But we can clearly observe that conversely to American expectations, today the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate are able to better confront the Americans and its coalition militarily than during their rule.
The narcotics trade which was virtually abolished during the rule of Islamic Emirate reached epic proportions with Afghanistan holding first place as producers during the American invasion.
The system of governance propped up by America in Afghanistan at a cost of hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of American lives is the most corrupt and failed government as admitted by America herself.
Security has deteriorated to a level that tens of thousands of fully armed American and NATO forces do not feel a sense of safely even inside the American embassy and NATO headquarters in the heart of Kabul city. This while not even counting the Afghans whose lives, property and homeland is burning in the flames of insecurity lit by the foreigners.
On the occasion of the 14th anniversary of the American invasion of Afghanistan, on top of condemning and resolving to completely expelling the invaders, the Islamic Emirate calls on America and her international partners to learn a lesson from its fourteen year invasion and instead choose the path of intellect, do not try yourselves with the already tested Afghans and let the Afghans themselves choose their own fate and the destination of their country by withdrawing your forces completely.
This is the same sound pathway which was proposed to you by the Islamic Emirate fourteen years earlier and it once again reiterates it to you on the 14thanniversary of your invasion of Afghanistan.
Wasalam

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan's Mullā Akhtar Muḥmmad Manṣūr: "Concerning the Liberation of Kunduz City"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q
All praise is due to Allah and it is due to His boundless mercy and help that a key provincial capital in northern Afghanistan, Kunduz, has finally fallen to the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate as the first provincial capital to do so, and all praise belong solely to Allah.
The leader of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan congratulates Mujahideen and all the Mujahid nation on the occasion of this immense conquest and asks them to celebrate this victory with the remembrance of Allah and praising Him abundantly with prayers of thanks.
The Islamic Emirate deems it necessary to point to and give serious consideration to a few key topics on the blessed occasion of this event in Kunduz:
1. Mujahideen should give all of their attention to safeguarding the lives, property and honor of the respected citizens of the city of Kunduz after ending combat operations and securing their military objectives. Mujahideen must be vigilant and prevent elements which misuse such occasions in order to loot and plunder or harm the lives and property of locals or the shared Bait-ul-Maal (public property).
2. The citizens of Kunduz city should be aware that the Islamic Emirate has no intention of transgressing against their personal property, carrying out extrajudicial killings, looting or breaching the inviolability of homes rather it seeks to prevent such happenings. Whoever exploits such military situations to perpetrate such crimes are not Mujahideen. All citizens must aid the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate in preventing such actions from happening and help them in identifying and detaining all perpetrators.
3. The citizens of Kunduz should not worry about safeguarding their lives and properties. Carry out your ordinary livelihoods in absolute security. All traders, workers, staff of hospitals, municipality and governing bodies should continue their daily routines without any fear or intimidation. Mujahideen are their brothers and are committed to securing their lives and property. Mujahideen are not thinking of harassing or deriding anyone but have intentions of respecting and bringing serenity to their lives.
4. Our message to government officials and security personnel who are thinking about resistance or are hiding in fear of retribution is that they should abandon all negative thoughts spread about Mujahideen due to enemy propaganda.
Mujahideen are not thinking about retribution but have come with a message of peace. Mujahideen were against such people due to them standing and carrying out duties in the ranks of the invaders and its stooge regime. If they regret their former actions and renounce links with the opposition then the gates of forgiveness of the Islamic Emirate are open upon them. They can confidently establish links with the Mujahideen by utilizing the Dawat wal Irshad (Call and Guidance) program, thus securing their lives and properties.
5. These conquests are due to the help of Almighty Allah and sacrifices of this Mujahid nation therefore the Kabul regime should openly admit its defeat, stop linking the victories of the Mujahideen to outside intelligence agencies and must not avenge their setbacks with blind bombardments and shelling of innocent people. They should accept the progress of Mujahideen as a bitter reality and think about their future and the future of the entire country in a cool composed manner. The time has now passed where big talks of Dostum, shrewd promises of Ashraf Ghani and baseless propaganda of the west would confuse common thought.

eid-message

الحمداللہ وحدہ والصلوۃ والسلام علی من لا نبی بعدہ !

امابعد،

خوشی کے اس پر موقع پرمیری طرف سےپوری امت مسلمہ اور خاص طور پر پاکستان سمیت دنیا بھر میں کفراور انکے اتحادیوں سے برسرپیکار مجاہدین کو دل کی گہرائیوں سے عید مبارک ۔ میں چند باتیں امت مسلمہ اور خصوصاً پاکستان میں بسنے والے مسلمانو نام کہنا چاہتا ہوں۔

ہم سب کو چاہئے کہ عید کی خوشی میں غریب،نادار، اور مظلوم مسلمانوں کو بھی اپنے ساتھ برابر شریک کریں ،اور پاکستان سمیت دنیا بھر میں کفراور ان کے ایجنٹ حکومتوں کے ظلم سے ہجرت کرنے والے مسلمانوں کو خصوصی طور یاد رکھیں،اور ان سب کے ساتھ بھر پور تعاون ہماری اولین ترجیح ہونی چاہئے۔ اور جو لوگ دنیا بھر میں اللہ کے دین کی خاطر بے گھر ہوئے یا قید ہوئے یا ان پر دوسری مصیبتیں آئیں ان کو خوش ہونا چاہئے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ نے اپنے دین کی خاطر ان کا انتخاب کیا،

الحمداللہ ہم اسلام کے لئے فرنٹ لائن کا کردار ادا کررہیں اورجو لوگ ہمارے خلاف ہیں وہ کفر کا فرنٹ لائن ہیں اور پاکستانی فوج اور حکومت بارہا اس کا اقرار کرچکے ہیں،ہم اللہ تعالیٰ اور اسکے دین اسلام کے ایجنٹ ہیں جبکہ ہمارے خلاف لڑنے والے کفر اور ان کے دین (جمہوریت) کے ایجنٹ ہیں،جس کے بارے میں بھی آپ سب نے سنا ہوگا کہ پاکستان دہشت گردی کے خلاف جنگ میں امریکہ اور دیگردنیائے کفر کے بڑے بڑے ملکوں کا بڑا یار ہے۔

تو اب پاکستان میں بسنے والے تمام مسلمان اور خصوصاً علماء،طلباء اور تمام  حکومتی و غیر حکومتی ادراوں میں کام کرنے والے جوانوں کو یہ ٖفیصلہ کرنا ہے کہ کیا وہ اسلام کے ایجنٹ بنناپسند کریں گے یا کفر اور ان کے دین جمہوریت کے ایجنٹ ۔

اور ایک بات اور جو تمام مسلمان اور خاص طور پر مجاہدین کے لئے ضروری ہے وہ یہ کہ اپنی زندگی کا مقصد صرف اللہ کی رضا پر مرکوز کریں اور میڈیا نے جھوٹ اور افوہوں کا جو طوفان کھڑا کیا ہے اس پر کان نہ دھریں ،اپنے صفوں میں اتفاق واتحاد برقرار رکھیں ،ہم کامیابی سے اپنی منزل کی طرف بڑھ رہے ہیں،اور ہمارا دشمن بوکھلاہٹ کے مارے ظلم اور جھوٹ پر اتر آیا ہے اور یہ سلسلہ بھی جلد ہی ختم ہونے والا ہے انشاء اللہ

اور آخر میں حکومت پاکستان کے اعلیٰ سطح سے لیکر ایک ادنیٰ ملازم تک کو میرا یہ پیغام ہے کہ کفر کی نوکری اور غلامی کو چھوڑنے اور توبہ کرنے میں تمھاری بھلائی ہے کیوں اسلامی نظام کی راہ رکاوٹ بنے ہوئے ہو اگر تمیں کفر کی نوکری میں جھنم جانا اتنا ہی پسند ہے تو اللہ کی قسم ہمیں بھی اللہ کے دین کی خاطر جنت جانا ہزارہا درجہ زیادہ پسند ہے، ہمارے اور تمھارے درمیان جنگ ہی فیصلہ کرنے والی ہے تاکہ یا تم ختم ہو جاؤ یا ہم۔۔۔ یعنی شریعت یا شہادت۔

والسلام

New release from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan's Mullā Akhtar Muḥmmad Manṣūr: "Message of Felicitation on the Eve of ‘Īd al 'Aḍḥā"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

Paygham-EN

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate

Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, there is no god but Allah. Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. All praise be to Allah.

All praise be to Allah. We praise Him and seek His help and forgiveness. We also seek His refuge from the evils of our inner selves and from our wicked deeds. Whoever is guided by Allah, there is none to mislead him and whoever is left by Allah in error, there will be none as guide for him (except Allah).

I testify there is no god but Allah. Alone is He and has no associate and I testify that Mohammad (peace be upon him) is his Servant and Messenger.

Undoubtedly, the truest words are that of the Book of Allah and the best guidance is the guidance of Mohammad (peace be upon him) and evil is any new  addition ( in religion )and every new addition is but innovation ( prohibited).

Allah, the Almighty, says in the Holy Quran:

“O believers, fear Allah as you rightly should, and do not die except in a state of Islam (102) Hold fast all together to the bond of Allah and let nothing divide you. Remember Allah’s favor on you for He united your hearts when you were enemies, so that through His grace, you became as brothers and how He delivered you from the pit of Fire when you were on the very brink of it. Thus Allah makes plain to you His signs, so that you may be rightly guided.”(103)(Surah 3, Verses 102-103)

I felicitate the Afghan Muslim people, the Mujahideen of the strongholds of Jihad and all Islamic Ummah on this auspicious occasion of Eid-ul-Odha, and ask Allah, the Almighty to accept in His Sight, the sacrifices, charities, worships and pilgrimage rituals of Muslims which they have performed in these holy days, particularly, I pray to Allah, the Almighty to accept the martyrdom of the pilgrims that they embraced in the incident of the collapse of the crane at the premises of Masjid Al-Haram and bestow on the injured an early and complete recovery.

I offer my condolence to all Muslims on the sad demise of the Founder of the Islamic Emirate, the Esteemed Amir-ul-momineen, Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid and thank all those who have expressed their sympathy during this great tragedy and helped in keeping the Islamic Emirate united. May Allah, the Almighty grant them great rewards. I ask the Almighty Allah to bestow His forgiveness and grace on Amir-ul-momineen (may the mercy of Allah be on him) and accept in His Sight his lofty Islamic and Jihadic services and strivings in this sacred path and favor him with a high degree of blessing. I want a befitting patience from the Almighty Allah for the bereaved and revered family of Amir-ul-momineen and ask the Almighty Allah to give them a better substitute. Ameen, oh Lord of all Creations!

Availing myself of  this great religious occasion and opportunity, I would like to elucidate the stance of the Islamic Emirate regarding the recent Jihadic and political events of Afghanistan.

My Muslim Brothers!

For the past 14 years, the Jihad of the Afghan Muslim people against American-led invaders has been continuing under a sole leadership. No doubt, the leadership of the late Amir-ul-momineen, Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid and his honesty, firm determination and spiritual station was the driving force that led to better organization and management of all military, political, cultural, administrative and other affairs as he was leading them. Moreover, members of the Leadership Council, high ranking leaders, commanders, administrators, Mujahideen of the strongholds and the Afghan Mujahid nation stood together honestly and faithfully to lead the sacred convoy on the difficult labyrinth of path  with success and bring it closer to the threshold of victory, thanks to the material and spiritual assistance of Muslims.

I reiterate once more that, given these difficult conditions and critical situation, the responsibility of this heavy burden devolved on my shoulder in my capacity as leader of the Islamic Emirate is not possible ( for me ) to carry out without the help of the Almighty Allah and the cooperation of the brothers-in-faith. Therefore, while asking  personnel and administrators and Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate for their cooperation and prayers, I call on all sympathizers, revered religious scholars and scholars of other fields  as well as analysts not to spare their valuable views, advice, conceptions (roadmaps) and practical assistance in military, political, educational, social and moral refinement and discipline sectors in order to render a positive, excellent and efficient service and to design and implement efficient plans. The Islamic Emirate is not only a Jihadic political movement but a system intending to bring about awakening and character refinement among our Muslim people and live up to their expectations regarding multi-faceted progress. So, they (the scholars) should help the Islamic Emirate in affairs concerning well-being, prosperity and progress of their people. There must be, in this shared home, a close mutual rapport, coordination and cooperation among all ethnicities and among talents from the modern and religious educations sectors.

I assure my Mujahideen and my nation that with the help of the Almighty Allah, I will do utmost to abide by the rules of the sacred Sharia and follow the path of the esteemed Amir-ul-momieen and will keep the ranks of Mujahideen united in the same way as they were united in the past and will continue to conduct my routine tasks in the light of instructions of the honorable Islamic scholars.

As our 14-years long Jihad against the occupation is nearing its victory and the enemy has faced defeat at every front, therefore,  it is trying to create an atmosphere of discord and distrust among the Mujahdeen by utilizing propaganda stratagems. It directly and indirectly spreads baseless rumors regarding split and ramification among the united ranks of Mujahideen. The nation, in general, and the Mujahideen, in particular, should be cautious about the conspiracies and plans of the enemy, specifically, I call on those brothers-in-faith who have grievances to thwart the maligning propaganda and diabolical conspiracies of the enemy. This is because the Islamic Emirate is our shared convoy initiated and boosted up by our and your sacrifices. Our and your honor and dignity and the dignity and honor of this oppressed nation lies in keeping this home united. So keep your ranks and files united in this critical situation. Respect to the blood of our martyrs and to their aspirations should take precedence over anything else.

Mujahideen should not pay attention to the futile propaganda of the enemy and should keep away from suspicions. The Almighty Allah says:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ ( سورة الحجرات، آیه ۱۲)

Believers avoid most of suspicion, in some cases suspicion is a sin.

(Surah 49, Verse 12)

As believers and committed servants of the Almighty Allah, it is our obligation to remain united and keep fused into one and evade all kinds of racial, geographical and lingual biases; should remain lenient towards people and have a conduct of compassion with them.

The Kabul Administration, the invaders and some other unscrupulous elements harass our oppressed countrymen under various pretexts. They consider the common people as their enemy and deprive them of their life and put them behind bars by leveling against them baseless allegations. They behave with them inhumanely during detention; even they martyr prisoners of the oppressed nation ruthlessly and brutally. Similarly, some mischievous persons and self-seeking intelligence circles harass innocent people in order to malign Mujahideen. We not only condemn such brutal activities in strongest terms but will punish the perpetrators according to the Islamic rules, if God willing. Moreover, if anyone in the rank of Mujahideen is careless about civilian casualties or is intentionally involved or misbehave with prisoners contrary to Sharia, we will conduct a comprehensive interrogation in this regard and punish him in the light of Sharia. We want to boost up our ranks with honest men and do not need the company of unscrupulous persons who carry out activities against Sharia and will block their way if God willing.

Mujahdeen should be fully careful not to shed blood of innocent people during operations. The Islamic Emirate has the responsibility to protect its people and I, as Amir of the Islamic Emirate, will never allow any harm and jeopardy to be caused to the life and property of the people as a result of negligence and incaution.

Mujahideen are not allowed, under any circumstance, to resort to activities based on their own discretion that are contrary to sharia or you have in mind some goals which do not coincide with the pleasure of the Almighty Allah but which only pleases the intrinsic whims of your souls. This (instruction) is applicable for all persons whether you dispense affairs as regards your brothers-in-arms or concerning common people. Even you should not misbehave with the enemy in a manner which is displeasing in the Sight of Allah the Almighty, i.e. to have leniency in response to leniency or harsh conduct in response to a harsh conduct but every action on your part should be in the light of Islamic law and the lofty behavior of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him).

The war has been imposed on us, violations against our Islamic government and nation has been committed and our land has been occupied. According to every principle and law, we have right to defend our faith and land; to gain our independence and form an Islamic system– an Afghan inclusive Islamic system where all people have their legitimate rights secured and lead life in an atmosphere of love and fraternity; a system being
