Biography
The General Official of the Mujahideen in Nuristan Province is Sheikh Dost Muhammad, son of al-Hajj Safar Muhammad, and one of the sons of Nuristan in east Afghanistan. He conducted his elementary studies in this region, then traveled to continue his Shari’ah studies in Pakistan. After graduating, he became occupied
with teaching in a number of schools and has long experience in the fields of tafseer, Hadith and Islamic jurisprudence. He has authored a number of books on Jihad and other Shari’ah matters, and is renowned as a professor on both sides of the border. The Sheikh has dedicated a large part of his life to Jihad and educating the Mujahideen in addition to teaching and writing. He has lived the life of the Mujahideen in the mountains, caves and forests, away from the pleasures of life. Although the Sheikh’s beard has whitened, his soul is still as strong as if he was in his twenties. Now the Sheikh continues to work in the general leadership of the Mujahideen in Nuristan province under the command of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Recently, al-Somood magazine met with him and conducted this interview, which we invite you to read.
Question: Your Excellency, to start we thank you for allowing us the opportunity to met you to learn the situation in Nuristan. We wish for you to give us a general overview of this province.
Answer: We praise Allah and we pray upon His kind messenger. Thereafter, we thank you also for bearing the hardship of coming here, and we ask Allah to reward you. To answer your question, Nuristan province is located in eastern Afghanistan and includes seven districts in addition to the center Parun. This province is divided into three main regions: eastern Nuristan, central Nuristan and western Nuristan. East Nuristan includes Barg-e-Matal and Kamdesh districts. Central Nuristan includes the Wanat and Wama districts as well as the province capital Parun. Western Nuristan includes three districts including Nur Karam, Dawab and Mandol. Nuristan province has a rocky, mountainous nature and the plains are few. Mountains, forests and rivers form the majority of the province’s landscape. Therefore the lands of this province are considered among the most suitable for Jihadist operations and guerrilla warfare. And so this province was among the most dangerous and damaging to the Russians during their occupation of this country and has now becomes one of the most dangerous for the Americans and their allies.
Question: What are the details of the situation in the various regions in this province, and which areas are under the control of the Mujahideen and which are under the control of the enemy? Are there bases for the invading foreign forces in the land of Nuristan?
Answer: Like in the rest of Afghanistan’s provinces, the Americans established their military bases in Nuristan. One of the strongest bases was in Nuristan in different areas of Kamdesh district. Through the grace of Allah and the sacrifices of the Mujahideen, the province of Nuristan has been cleansed of the presence of American forces and they now have no bases in all of Nuristan province with the exception of Nur Karam base in extreme western Nuristan adjacent to the village of Kalagush in Laghman province. They have no other presence in the rest of Nuristan. As for the districts of the province, the Mujahideen, through the grace of Allah, control three districts: Kamdesh, Mandol and Waygal are all under the complete control of the Mujahideen.
As for the districts of Wama and Barg-e-Matal, lackey forces are present in the district centers and cannot leave them because there are Mujahideen bases located no farther than 1 kilometer away. As for the center of Barun district, it is completed surrounded by the Mujahideen. The center is tantamount to a few square kilometers of land surrounded by a fence of security barracks. The rest of the district area and the roads leading to it are under the control of the Mujahideen. In general, American forces are only present in Noorgaram near Laghman province. The Lackey forces are besieged in the centers of Parun, Wama and Barg-e-Matal and supplies are delivered via air only. Allah Almighty willing, the Mujahideen will be successful through His aid to them, and they will conquer the remaining besieged centers and the lackey soldiers will surrender to the Mujahideen or they will flee on helicopters, Allah Almighty permitting.
Question: You spoke about the province center Parun. The lackey government has recently displayed great concern over it and said that the city is in danger of falling into the hands of the Mujahideen. Is there a plan for a comprehensive assault on it?
Answer: Yes,. The Mujahideen in Nuristan have reached the final stages of the plan drawn up to cleanse the center of the enemy, as they did in Kamdesh and Wanat. This year we intend to focus our operations upon the province center. If Allah Almighty grants it to us to conquer the province center, this will mean that Nuristan has been liberated in its entirety, Allah willing, because the rest of the province has already been conquered by the Mujahideen. In the remaining area where the enemy is present, this presence is weak and incapable of mounting resistance. All roads leading to the center have been closed and are under the control of the Mujahideen. The Mujahideen have attacked some of the enemy’s defensive positions as a prelude to the final assault, Allah Almighty willing. They have conquered three of these points and have also shot down a helicopter bringing supplies to the province from Kabul. But the final assault has not yet begun.
Question: If Allah wills success for the operation to liberate the province, what will your future plans be?
Answer: As we mentioned to you previously, some enemy forces remain, even if only in a token fashion, in the Barg-e-Matal and Wama districts, which have been under siege by the Mujahideen for a long time. We will seek to purify these districts also of their presence. With that, the presence of the enemy will be limited to the Nur Karam districts in west Nuristan only. As for the rest of the Nuristan, it will be purified of the ungodliness of the enemy entirely, Allah willing.
Question: The past years in Nuristan have witnessed, through the grace of Allah, great achievements for the Mujahideen. More than once, they liberated the Barg-e-Matal district, and they destroyed 5 strong American bases in Kamdesh. Lastly, they completely liberated Wanat Waygal district. So, what do you see as the secret of the Mujahideen’s victories?
Answer: We believe that our victories are derived entirely from the grace of Allah and the special mercy that he has granted to our unarmed Mujahideen to destroy the strongest American bases in the area. After that, we do not forget sacrifices of the Mujahideen and the general populace, because the people of Nuristan stand loyally and entirely by the side of the Mujahideen, and cooperate with them in carrying out the duty of fighting. Eliminating the enemy from this region is the best proof of the cooperation of the people with the Mujahideen. And now, throughout the entire province, there is no one who opposes the Mujahideen except some puppets in the province center. This because all of those who had allied themselves with the enemy has run away to Jalalabad or to the capital Kabul. The rest of the people are standing alongside the Mujahideen and praise Allah for that.
Question: Nuristan province is a mountainous, rocky region, and far removed from media coverage. Any time a battle takes place, the enemy claims they have inflicted big losses on the Mujahideen. It is hard to confirm some of these claims. So, are the losses of the Mujahideen indeed as the enemy claims?
Answer: Making such claims is the enemy’s last ditch effort to raise the morale of their defeated soldiers. The truth is that the Mujahideen’s losses are very few because the Mujahideen have now understood through their experiences of the past few years how to deal with enemy air raids and have to come to know ways of preventing them. Additionally, the terrain of Nuristan are mostly mountainous in nature and covered with vast forests, so the air raids do not have much of an impact. So if the enemy’s air raids have lost their impact due to natural factors and the enemy’s forces on the ground have become minimal or non-existent, then how could the Mujahideen face bog losses? Throughout recent years we haven’t witnessed any big blows inflicted on the Mujahideen. As for the enemy’s attacks on villages and homes, this has happened numerous times and many among the general public have been killed.
Question: You mentioned the enemy’s attacks on villages and homes and perpetrating massacres against civilians. Would you please give us some examples?
Answer: Years ago, American forces raided the village of Batikhel in Kamdesh district and killed 20 civilians, most of whom were women and children. Also, American aircraft bombed a passenger bus in Kordish village in the same district, killing 8 civilians. Additionally, they bombed a village in Barg-e-Matal killing 40 civilians, and killed more 30 civilians in an attack on a village in Dawab district. The story of heinous crimes committed by the

On 14 June 2011, Hama Sultani, the representative for Ghazni province in Karzai’s Council of Deputies, claimed that she had been for some time hosting in her home the leader of the Islamic Emirate along with 12 top military commanders from the Islamic Emirate and that she had requested from this leader a resolution of the Afghan crisis through the conduct of peaceful negotiations with the administration of Hamed Karzai. She claimed that this leader agreed with her peaceful
ideas and he is now awaiting a response from the Karzai government and, for that purpose, is now staying at her house. Anyone who doubts her story can go to her house and see with his own eyes the leader of the Islamic Emirate.
Hama al-Sultani made these statements before the Council of Deputies and a large gathering of correspondents, news agencies and journalists and stated that she 12 times had gone to the Republican Palace with a letter from the Emirate’s leader to Hamed Karzai to conduct peace talks with him but Karzai didn’t want to do that and didn’t believe her statements. Hama Sultani’s comments created a great uproar in the media and on the local satellite networks who conducted multiple interviews with her on this issue. She insists that she is playing host to the Ameer ul-Momineen and twelve of his top ranking military commanders in her home.
The impact of these fantastical comments reached the point where the Islamic Emirate was forced to issue a statement to expose this laughable rumor as a lie. But the perpetrator of these claims is adamant in sticking to her comments and refutes the Islamic Emirate statement on the matter.
When asked by a journalist about the nature of her relationship with the leader of the movement, Hama replied that she became acquainted with him through Abdul Baseer, who is also a parliament deputy from Kunduz province. She claims that the above-mentioned individual was one of the leaders of the Taliban during the movement’s rule in Afghanistan and that later a strong acquaintance developed between them to the point that he came to her house and is now living with her in her house in the capital.
Hama Sultani, who is a Shia woman in her forties, kept the media busy for more than three weeks with her crazy statements and still insists that the Taliban leader is living with her with the purpose of conducting peace talks with the government of Hamed Karzai but that the Karzai government doesn’t want that.
What is even stranger than that is the other group of those deputies against whom was issued an order of expulsion from the Deputies’ chamber because of their fraud in the parliament elections of 2011 and who barricaded themselves in the parliament building, bringing in 140 persons as their armed supporters in rejecting the decision.
An armed group of deputies!!! Led by Zaher Qadeer and calling itself “Defenders of the Law” whose sessions threaten the head of the lackey government Karzai and address him in their media addresses as an agent of the Americans and violator of the law.
These are the stupid mentalities and fantastical ideas of the members of Karzai’s parliament which make small children laugh at their naiveté and idiocy. And these are the ones who regard themselves as running parliament’s affairs and constituting the legal representatives of the Muslim Afghan people.
The Americans are the ones who brought these crazy ideas to the parliament chamber through fraudulent elections on which the United Nations spent 120 million US dollars and 50,000 foreign soldiers were used to conduct them, and all local and global media instruments were used to publicize and promote, etc, etc…
Yes, the enemies impose such odious and frivolous people on Islamic peoples in order to purchase them at a cheap price and use them for the benefit of colonialism when and how they want, not only in Afghanistan but unfortunately throughout the Islamic world.

PART 1
Kandahar Prison
Kandahar’s main prison is located west of the city in the Sarpoza area, north of Kandahar-Herat highway. It is largest government prison in south Afghanistan, with the capacity to hold thousands of prisoners. The prison comprises several sections surrounded by high and impenetrable walls.
This prison is fundamentally well-built, with high surveillance and watch towers set up at its four corners. It is also surrounded by a number of subterranean walls, further to its high [over ground] walls, to prevent tunnels being dug to the outside.
Despite its strong construction and tight security measures, this prison has become the scene of a wonderful story not only in Afghanistan around the globe. Over the past eight years, political prisoners have been able to escape from this prison only three times. The first time was in June 2003 when Mujahideen prisoners dug a tunnel from inside the prison to the outside, enabling all 45 of this ward’s prisoners to escape via the tunnel. Also in June 2008, the Islamic Emirate launched armed and martyrdom attacks on this prison that resulted in the death of all the prison’s guards and released close to 1,200 Mujahideen prisoners. After this incident, the Americans and Kandahar officials paid close attention to the maintenance and preservation of this prison; Canadian forces trained special policemen to guard the prison, watch towers were increased and monitoring cameras installed; the entire prison was encircled by a deep and wide trench. Despite all these measures, the Mujahideen were able, after long planning, for the third time to release 541 prisoners on 25 April 2011.
Pure Fantasy
One of the Mujahideen in Kandahar city, who by his connections gained full knowledge of the inside and outside of the prison, pondered whether it would be possible to dig a tunnel from the inside of a house on the other side of the street into the prison as a means of releasing the prisoners. This fantasy and vision seemed laughable at first even to its owner; he dared not share his opinion with others, but, after more time and continued thinking, he reached a conclusion. On one of these days, while he was riding a motorcycle with two of his comrades, he shared that view with them. They thought it was impossible and deemed it dangerous to attempt, but they placed their trust on Allah and shared their opinion with the Mujahideen high command in Kandahar and they revealed to their trusted comrades their decision to implement this plan regardless of danger.
Concrete Workshop
Six months ago these Mujahideen rented a house opposite the south corner of Kandahar prison. Initially they built a new room. Then they brought in all necessary equipment and machines to make concrete, hiring a number of workers who worked during the day. But in the afternoon, when the workers left, the Mujahideen stayed under the pretence of serving as guards. It was during that time that they proceeded to dig the tunnel from within the room they had just built.
Hard Work for Four Months
At first, four Mujahideen implemented this process: one of them was to hit with the pickaxe, digging the tunnel, while the other three were to move the soil. The tunnel was narrow and the soil could not be moved out by wheelbarrows, so some operation planners went to the market and bought a number of children bicycles, removing their small wheels and fixing barrows on them. They were able to prepare wheelbarrows that suited their task. Now they filled these barrows with soil, pulling them by a rope to the tunnel opening and collecting the soil there before moving it to the lorry. In the morning, when the dirt trucks headed to the city for its sale, the Mujahideen would bring in their soil-filled lorry and sell the dirt to get rid of it. For two months, four Mujahideen were working in the tunnel digging, then their number increased to eight Mujahideen and they were digging four meters every night. When their continued work reached 100m, they faced the issue of ventilation and lack of oxygen; nevertheless they carried on until cutting a distance of 150m. At this point it was terminally difficult to continue working, due to lack of oxygen, and the work carried on no further. In the beginning they tried a ground fan; it resolved the ventilation issue but it was winter and the cold weather caused headaches. Then they made an air-pumping machine, delivering air by a pipe from the outside to the inside of the tunnel. This was the best method to resolve the ventilation and lack of oxygen – the machine worked quietly by a charged battery. But they then realized the risk of their digging a tunnel under the road that carried the heavy enemy vehicles to the interior of the prison: There was a possibility of a tunnel collapse under intense vehicle pressure. The question was how deep was the tunnel to be dug to exclude that possibility. As an experiment, they parked a lorry atop the tunnel; it suffered no damage, assuring them that it would not suffer because of enemy vehicles. The tunnel was 2.5m deep between the house and the public road, but as a precaution they deepened it further. Four months passed and the tunnel went 220m, a well iron pipe surprised them before realizing it was not a prison pipe but a pipe to a village south of the prison. In fact, the tunnel diggers, having no map, deviated from the correct path to the right, crossing the road and reaching a village close to the prison. Here Mujahideen recognizer that the target could only be reached with the prison map and distance measuring tools.
One and a Half Months of Efficient Work
The tunnel diggers who lost their way and made an extra 120m now downloaded the prison map off the internet and by which were able to pinpoint the prison location. Using earth measurement tools they re-dug at the distance of 100m of the tunnel directly towards the prison. However, with the passing of the winter, night was shorter. Consequently they increased the number of Mujahideen labourers until they reached twenty-one. Furthermore, earth evaporates less in summer, so ventilation was less of an issue, and the work was faster and more efficient. By digging 166m they reached the middle of the prison (it must be added that the Islamic Emirate’s site mentioned the distance dug by Mujahideen including the distance dug by error, giving a total of 360m, when the precise distance, excluding additional distance, was 266m. It is worth noting, however, that the tunnel’s height was 70cm and its width 60cm ). The Mujahideen inmates were in two separate locations within the prison: Most were in the political ward, where they numbered 530, but a small number were in a room called ‘Tawqif Khanah’ [detention room]. The tunnel was dug first towards Tawqif Khanah room, as it held a Mujahid aware of the case. He used to hit the ground for one reason or another so that the tunnel diggers would know whether they were ahead or behind or on target. Thus they were able to pinpoint the place, but for verification they poked a blade into the room, until the prisoner assured them of hitting the target. They moved on to the political ward. Five days produced a further 23m, reaching the political ward, cell 7 of which held two prisoners aware of the case. The aim was to take the tunnel to cell 7. Here again the tunnel diggers wanted to raise a blade to ascertain and avoid any error when opening the tunnel to the prison. The Mujahideen were hesitant: were they underneath cell 6 or 7? To keep the matter secret when the blade would be raised, the two prisoners held a Quran session; all the rooms were vacant, the two aforementioned prisoners left, one to room 6 and the other to room 7. When the blade was raised they realised they were under room 6, contrary to their expectation. Then two further meters were dug until reaching room 7. Now they could not vacate the rooms with the Quran completion excuse again, so the Mujahideen used the afternoon time when prisoners would go out to washing rooms and get prepared for the noon prayer; the blade was raised and it made it successfully to room 7. The opening place was specified for the escape operation day. It should be added that the blade raising operation was made subsequent to a wise and interesting plan: The prison ground was about 2.5m above the tunnel, with the tunnel’s height of 70cm, how a long blade could fit through this tunnel to reach the prison ground? The Mujahideen cut iron blades of 50cm length and joined them together; when they were raising a blade 50cm by a car jack, they would fix to it another blade and raise it by the jack. So for dismantling the blades, they prepared a machine that would be attached to each blade then hit by a hammer downwards. This was how they were able to pinpoint the location precisely.
The Plan to Extract the Prisoners
After construction of the tunnel, the persons responsible for digging finished their work and requested from the Islamic Emirate’s high command guidelines concerning the plan to extract the prisoners. Therefore officials from Kandahar Province’s and high ranking officials of the Islamic Emirate held continuous consultations in order to conduct a secure extraction.
As a result of the consultation, the following plan was adopted. The mastermind of this operation, who on his own swung the pickaxe laboriously to dig 300m of the tunnel, would himself be the commander of the prisoner extraction. During the operation, he would adopt

New statement from Zabīhullah Mujāhid of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding the Resolutions Adopted in Kabul by the Supposed Loya Jirga"


As we have stated before that in this so called Loya Jirga there were no genuine representatives of the freedom loving people of Afghanistan who would consider the interests of our nation and our Islamic values but rather all the participants
were either current governmental officials like ministers, governors, district chiefs, judges and other officials or those faces who had been supporting the invaders for the past ten years and had repeatedly participated in such futile Jirgas. As it was a complete military atmosphere in which they were surrounded by tens of security belts manned by thousands of foreign troops and their mercenary forces so to protect them from the wrath of the Afghan Mujahid nation, it was endorsed with a few superficial and misleading conditions that the occupying America, which has come to our country with hundreds of thousands of troops and with the force and use of different types of weapons and which has for the past ten years raided the homes of Afghans, martyred their relatives or have thrown them in their inhumane prisons, razed their homes and orchards and are still continuing their tyranny on a daily bases an example of which is the beheading of 4 family members a few days ago in Kandahar’s Ghorak area during one of their raids; this barbaric army must stay for at least another decade!?
We believe that these resolutions were predetermined by America and the name of Loya Jirga was only used to declare its intentions. Therefore, these resolutions will be a catalyst for stirring regional sensitivities and will make misfortunate Afghanistan a center of tumult for a long period, evoking extra wrath and anger of our nation which will enkindle the strongholds of Jihad. So this step can be considered reinforcement for the need and intensification of the Jihadi process which will play an important factor in the further awakening of our nation where it can be confidently said that it will bring about the end date of the American affliction even closer, if Allah wills it. And those people who are perpetrators of this irresponsible resolution have further shown their enslaved faces to the nation and made it clear that they do not consider any Islamic or national principles in order to please their whims and they were and are ready to sell the glory, honor, dignity and purity of this nation to satisfy their desires. These kinds of people have always been rejected by our nation and are considered as the notorious faces of history.
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, besides strongly condemning and rejecting such agreements wants to reassure its nation that such steps by the invaders and the guile and deception of its slaves will never become an obstacle for the Jihad waged by the nations real sons. They should further recognize the face of the foreign and internal enemy and unabatedly continue their sacred Jihad until the complete independence of the country so that the foreign enemy along with their slaves face a complete and ignominious defeat due to its strikes and take such ominous plans and aspirations along with themselves to their graves.
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan sees the fundamental solution to this problem in the removal of all foreign troops. Until this fundamental is recognized, this and other Jirags and conferences will only negatively impact Afghanistan, America and the coalition and will intertwine the crisis instead of pushing it towards a solution and it will yield nothing except time wasting.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding the upcoming subjugated Jirga"


Our countrymen are well aware that western occupying forces have been attempting for quite some time now to give a legal face to their unlawful occupation of Afghanistan and to realize their dream of establishing a permanent presence. For these filthy designs to be accomplished, serious efforts are recently being undertaken by the foreign enemy and their internal mercenaries and it has been decreed that this coming Wednesday (16th November), a supposed Loya Jirga (Grand Assembly) will be convened in Kabul to realize this unfortunate plan.
Some of the information acquired about this plot suggests that America wants to obtain documentation for a perpetual occupation of Afghanistan under the name of Strategic Partnership because the draft text of it says that America (like its ongoing occupation) will practice absolute freedom, will not abide by any Afghan stipulations and will continue its military operations and presence as long as its wants.
For this purpose it is absolutely necessary for the Afghans to realize the sensitivity of this subject. The permanent presence of America and other invaders spells nothing but the absolute fall and decline for our glorious nation and people who have a many millennium old history. If the Afghan nation neglectfully forgo standing up against and blocking the ominous plan of the enemies of Afghanistan then they will definitely face the same ill fate which is being faced by the nations who are occupied and subdued by the infidels and the history books are filled with such admonitory stories.
The countries of Japan and South Korea should serve as enough examples for us to understand and learn about the effects of permanent American presence. These countries do not have any Islamic sanctums nor an Afghan code of honor; they are not military and economically weak like Afghanistan neither are they under such domination but despite all of this, these same nations have had it up to their noses with violations and crimes committed by the Americans troops.
According to internationally respected news outlets, American invaders are charged on a daily basis with crimes done against the residents of these countries which include rape of 12 year old girls and 68 year old women.
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan calls on all its countrymen, parties and political figures that the sole reason for the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan is because of the foreign invaders. If the foreign invaders leave then there are many Islamic and Afghan channels which can be utilized to solve our internal problems. Afghans are able to solve their internal problems by themselves under tolerating conditions.
It will be inapposite for those concerned about a repeat of civil war or due to scare for own depreciation to put their necks down and keep silent in front of perpetual occupation by American invaders. We believe the Afghan crisis will only find an end when our nation thwarts the Strategic Partnership of the invaders and their mercenaries under the disguise of Loya Jirga and their other plans, brings the ongoing occupation to an end and fulfill their duty of bringing about an independent, proud and peaceful Afghanistan. Those people who approve permanent American bases under the banner of the upcoming so-called Loya Jirga will be considered as national traitors and will be deserving of harsh penalties and their names will be written down alongside the slaves and nation sellers like Shah Shuja, Babrak Karmel and Karzai.

English:

In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. All praises are for Allah (Glory to Him, the Exalted). All Praise are due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds and may His Peace and Blessings be upon the leader of the Mujahideen and the Imam of the Messengers, Our Master and Prophet and upon his Family and Companions. To proceed: Verily, We have granted you Al-Kauthar (1) Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (2) For he who hates you, he will be cut off (3).(Al Kauthar)

To the Afghan Mujahid nation and to the Islamic Ummah!

May the peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you all. First of all I would like to extend to you my heart-felt felicitation on the auspicious occasion of Eid-ul-Odha! May Allah accept in His Sight your sacrifices, charity, worship, the Hajj of the Pilgrims, their prayers and the Jihad and struggle of the courageous Mujahideen! May Allah bless the heirs of the Martyrs with patience and compensate them with which is better and may Allah safeguard their families and orphans. May Allah, the Lord of Glory, exchange the suffering and hardships of the oppressed Muslims with joy and well-being. May He release our prisoners from the inhumane jails of the enemy and reunite them with their families and May Allah, the Lord of Glory, crush and humiliate our enemy with his Omnipotence. Similar to other Eid’s, I would once again like to shed light on our stance regarding important issues associated with our and your future: For ten years now, our courageous Mujahideen have been engaging in Jihad against a cruel and incursive enemy for a noble cause and are presenting countless sacrifices in this path everyday. They have pushed the most materially advanced and arrogant power of the world to the verge of collapse with Allah’s Divine Help. Thousands of their troops have been killed and maimed while others face permanent disabilities and mental disorders, compelling their people to rise up in opposition and take to the streets. The American and Western people have no further taste for extending the Afghan war and seeing their soldiers return in coffins!! It is only the Bounty and Grace of Allah Almighty that He chose us for the service of our country and Islam in this crucial and sensitive period and suppressed the greatest enemy of Islam with our hands. My memorandum to the Mujahideen is that they should consider all their victories only on due part to Allah Almighty’s Divine Help and the innumerable sacrifices put forward by the people. You should be heedful in your sincerity, good intentions and piousness in individual and social actions; do not delve into hypocrisy and arrogance; show no laxity in service to the Muslims; do not wrongly pester and daunt anyone by the barrel of the gun; deal circumspectly with State Treasury; show strong obedience to your leaders and do not submit to your whims and desires. Mujahid Brothers! You know very well that our enemy is facing an unambiguous defeat. The ongoing Badre military operation tasked for the current year has quelled all of their conspiracies and designs. The enemy has suffered immense human and material losses in all parts of the country, including in the capital Kabul. In view of these prevailing sensitive conditions, all in authority and subjects should consolidate their unity because the enemy is now attempting to divide their ranks under various names. It is trying to attribute the perplexing and glorious operations, military advancements and achievements of Islamic Emirate to foreigners so to hide their shameful defeat and create artificial rationales for permanent presence in Afghanistan by falsely indicting the neighboring countries. But the enemy must realize that their purchased Jirgas and permanent bases have and will be strongly opposed by us and will on no account be permitted to materialize. Our esteemed countrymen inside and outside the country must use their perspicacity, take supplementary steps to neutralize the enemy plots and not fall for their propaganda. They should inform themselves about the activities of Islamic Emirate through its official Spokesmen, Websites and Press Releases. Our nation must further its support to their Mujahideen as per the past decade and must amplify their forbearance and patience. Our Jihad is for attaining the gratification of Allah Almighty as well as the country’s peace, freedom and sovereignty. We are shielding a creed which is communal between you and us (Islam) and we firmly believe that honor and dignity are destined for us. We will once more live in the world with our heads held high as a noble nation, if Allah wills it. We once again invite the internal opposition to renounce their cooperation of the invaders for the sake of their religion and people and call on them to stand shoulder to shoulder with Mujahideen against the foreign occupation.  Being sincere in this regard, you will find that the doors of Islamic Emirate are wide open for you or you should at least adopt your normal lives. Your life, wealth and honor will be protected. Afghanistan is without a doubt the shared home of its many ethnicities. The sovereignty and protection of this home is an obligation on all. Our foreign enemies must realize with full conviction that we are not bluffing or talking out of place but are unequivocally calling them to the solution of this problem which is: From the very first day of your invasion of Afghanistan, you did not lend an ear to our stance or you looked at it with an enemy’s eye but now you have seen that you have journeyed in vain for the past ten years, spent your treasure and spilled your blood in a wasted effort. How do you weigh the condition of Afghanistan and America compared with the past decade? If you do not try to delude yourselves and the world than indeed you will accept that both the countries have regressed, not progressed compared to that time. As regardsto the situation of Afghanistan; if you are still optimistic about the futile Bonne Conferences and the lies of your Generals then surely you are headed on the path towards more failures and devastation! Our people are not ones who succumb to other nations. We do not turn our backs on our creed and stance. We do not cherish this life to the extent that we abandon our religion but rather our life and death are and will be solely for the sake of Allah Almighty. We take pride in and are happy to offer sacrifices in the path of Allah (Glory to Him, the Exalted) while you fight for expansionism, wealth and money. Your soldiers do not have the spirit to fight and lose moral easily hence all your reliance is on military weapons and hardware. According to reliable information, hundreds of thousands of your troops have come to and gone from Afghanistan on rotational deployment basis but you are still being confronted by the Mujahid and Talib of the first day; he is neither tired nor has he wavered. So now you only have one choice and that of removing all of your military forces from our country as quickly as possible and this is for your own benefit. Leave this nation and soil to the sons of this soil. This soil is the concern of Afghans. The establishment and the nature of system here is the job of the Afghans. We do not want to harm other nations and countries. We believe the resolution to all conflicts and tribulations resides in realization and understanding. We had said this a decade ago and reiterate it again. For this purpose we have given guidance to the concerned authority of Islamic Emirate to come to a mutual understanding with all the countries while paying heed to National and Islamic principles in order to elucidate the policy and stance of Islamic Emirate to the world. One point which is quite painful for every one is that of civilian casualties, generally caused in fighting. As far as the enemy is concerned, they have veritably come here for the purpose of killing and torment but the Mujahideen have to take every step to protect the lives and wealth of ordinary people in accordance with their religious responsibility. The common folk must also facilitate Mujahideen in averting civilian losses and sufferings. They should avoid moving in close proximity to Americans that patrol in villages and countryside and should actively put to practice the precautionary measures announced by Mujahideen so no harm will reach them during the impending attacks of the invaders. As far as it is pertaining to Mujahideen then they should ward off future civilian casualties by vigorously implementing the following stipulations:
  • All the provincial governors should core in on civilian casualties and make it a point of focus to stop the name of Taliban being falsely utilized against victims in warning letters and phone calls. Routine investigations should be carried out in their related areas. Scholars should be employed every now and then to preach protection of civilian life, wealth and honor to Mujahideen and promote virtue. All those civilian casualties which are caused or are believed to be caused by Mujahideen should be reported to the superiors.
  • If civilian casualties are caused in IED strikes, martyrdom attacks and other operations but the Mujahideen of the area repudiate these allegations while all testimonials and evidence point otherwise then all the suspects should be forwarded to the legal offices. If it is irrefutably proven that the blood of innocent Muslims is spilled by the negligence of Mujahideen then a penalty should be implemented in accordance with Shariah after extensive investigation and all steps should be taken to seek the pardon and pleasure of the inheritors and affectee.
  • If the same officials persist in their neglectfulness in relation to civilian casualties then more Islamic penalties should be handed out in addition to his termination from post.
  • Related office and the Cultural Commission should also acquire information from various sources regarding civilian casualties caused by Mujahideen or unknown persons and forward them in written form to the acting authority every so often.
To end I once again extend my wholehearted felicitation on the occasion of Eid-ul-Odha to you and your families and ask Allah Almighty for your happiness and prosperity. I expect fear of Allah, unity and brotherhood from the Mujahideen in the strongholds. I call on the wealthy brothers not to forget the poverty-stricken, the disadvantaged and the orphans in these days and nights of sacrifice. I call on all the Muslims to take viable steps in these days of changes in the Islamic world for the benefit of Islam, unity and country by implementing all the Islamic principles. I advise all the Islamic and Jihadi movements in all corners of the world to be cautious of the plots of the enemies of Islam and detest from committing any act which is against or is skeptical in Islamic Law, will stain the image of Mujahideen and cause aversion amongst the populace. May Allah Almighty turn our afflictions to happiness and help us in establishing a Peaceful, Free, Independent and Shariah-based government. Amen. The servant of Islam Amir-ul-Momineen Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid

بسم الله الرحمن الرحیمالله أكبر الله أكبر لا إله إلاّ اله والله أكبر،ألله أكبر ولله الحمد.الحمد لله رب العلمین، والصلاة والسلام علی قائد المجاهدین وإمام المرسلین و نبينا محمد و علی آله وصحبه أجمعین، وبعد :إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ (1) فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ (2) إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الأَبْتَر(ُ3) إلی الشعب الأفغاني المجاهد والأمة الإسلامیة جمعاء ! السلام علیكم ورحمة الله و بركاته قبل كلّ شيء أهنئكم جمیعاً بحلول عید الأضحى المبارك، وأسأل الله تعالی أن یتقبّل منكم الصدقات، والعبادات، وأن یتقبّل من حُجّاج بیت الله تعالی الكرام حجّهم، ومن الشعوب الإسلامیة المجاهدة الأبیة جهادها وتضحیاتها، وأن یمنّ علی ذويّ الشهداء بخیر منهم، وأن یرزقهم الصبر والسلوان، وأن یحفظ أسَرَهم و أیتامهم في رعایته. ونسأل المولی العزیز أن یبدّل مِحَن المسلمین المضطهدين بالسعادة والفرح، وأن یُكرم أسرانا بالخلاص من السجون الظالمة وأن یعیدهم إلی أهلیهم بالخیر والعافیة، كما نسأل الله تعالی أن یجعل عدونا بقدرته الكاملة في مزید من الذلّ والهزائم. استغلالاً لهذه المناسبة المیمونة كسابقاتها نودّ أن نوضّح موفقنا حول بعض المواضیع الهامة التي یرتبط بها مستقبلنا جمیعاً هي كالتالي: إلی المجاهدین : إنّ مجاهدینا الأبطال یقومون بأداء فریضة الجهاد ضدّ المعتدین الظَلَمةَ لتحقیق أُمنیة سامیة، ویقدّمون في هذا السبیل كلّ یوم مزیداً من التضحیات، وهاهم بنصر الله تعالی لهم قد أوقفوا أكبر قوة مادّیة في العالم علی حافة الهزیمة، فقد قتلوا من جنود عدوّهم الآلاف، وجرحوا الآلاف الآخرین، وجعلوا الآلاف المؤلّفة منهم یعیشون في الإعاقة والأمراض النفسیة المزمنة، وكنتیجة لهذه الأوضاع فقد وقفت الشعوب الغربیة في صفّ مخالفة حكوماتها وجیوشها، وتخرج في مظاهرات عارمة لتُبدي عن رفضها لسیاسات حكوماتها، لأنها لا ترید أن تطول الحرب في أفغانستان، وأن تستقبل مزیداً من أرتال توابیت جنودها الهالكین في هذه الحرب. إنّه من فضل الله المحض علینا أن وفّقنا لأداء مثل هذه الخدمة الجلیلة للإسلام في هذه الفترة المصیریة من تاریخ بلدنا وأمّتنا الإسلامیة. وأذلَّ أعتی وأكبر أعداء الإسلام بأیدینا في هذا الزمن. فرسالتي في هذه الفترة الحسّاسة لجمیع المجاهدین أن یعتبروا جمیع هذه المكتسبات من نصر الله تعالی و منّه لهم، ونتیجة للتضحیّات الفریدة لشعبهم المجاهد. وأن یؤدّوا شكر هذه النعمة بمزید من الإخلاص، وإصلاح النیّات، والخوف من الله تعالی في جمیع أعمالهم الانفرادیة والاجتماعية، وأن یبتعدوا من الریاء والغرور، وأن لا یتوانوا في خدمة المسلمین، وأن یتجنّبوا الظلم وتهدید الناس بالسلاح والقوة فیما لا یجوز. و أن یتحلّوا بالاحتیاط والأمانة مع أموال بین مال المسلمین، وأن تكون منهم الطاعة الكاملة في المعروف لقادتهم ومسئوليهم، وأن یبتعدوا كلّ الابتعاد عن الهوی و رغبات النفس. إخوتي المجاهدون! إنكم تعلمون جیداً أن عدوّكم یواجه الهزیمة السافرة. وأبطلت عملیّات (البدر) في هذا العام بفضل الله تعالی مخططاته ومؤامراته، وقد تحّمل في العاصمة (كابل) وجمیع أنحاء البلد الخسائر العظیمة في الأرواح والعتاد والأموال. فیجب في هذا المقطع الهام من جهادنا علی جمیع المسؤولین والمنسوبین أن يحافظوا علی وحدتهم فیما بینهم، لأنّ العدوّ یسعی الآن لإیجاد الفرقة والاختلاف بین المجاهدین بمختلف المسمّیات، ویحاول أن ینسب عملیات المجاهدین المحیّرة وتقدّماتهم وإنجازاتهم العسكریة إلی الجهات الأجنبیة لیستر بهذه المحاولات هزائمه من جانب، ومن جانب أخر یرید من اتّهامه للدول المجاورة بالتدخّل في أفغانستان اختلاق المبرّرات المفتعلة لإنشاء قواعده العسكریة الدائمة في هذا البلد. ولكن یجب علی العدوّ أن یعلم أنّنا نخالف عقد كل أنواع المجالس والاجتماعات العمیلة بهذا الخصوص، و نرفض وجود القواعد العسكریة للعدوّ علی أرض بلدنا، ولن نسمح للعدوّ بإنشائها أبداً. إلی عامة الشعب الأفغاني : ینبغي لجمیع أفراد شعبنا الأعزّاء في داخل البلد وخارجه أن یتّسموا بالفهم و التّعقّل، و أن یُسرعوا جهودهم في إبطال مؤامرات العدوّ، وأن لا یتأثروا من إشاعاته المغرضة، وأن یّطلعوا علی فعّالیات المجاهدین وموقفهم عن طریق تصریحات الناطقین الرسمیین ومواقع النشر الرسمیة للإمارة الإسلامیة. وكذلك ینبغي أن یستمّر في وقوفه إلی جانب المجاهدین مثلما كان منه خلال عشر سنوات الماضیة، وأن یصبر ویحافظ علی معنویاته العالیة. إن جهادنا لإرضاء الله تعالی وتحریر البلد وتحقیق السعادة مستمّر، وإننا ندافع عن العقیدة التي هي عقیدتنا جمیعاَ، وهي الإسلام الخالص فقط. وإننا واثقون بفضل الله تعالی من أنّ العزّ والوقار هو حلیفنا جمیعاً، وسنعیش مرّة أخری شعباً عزیزاً شامخاً إن شاء الله تعالی. إلی المخالفین الداخلیین : إنّنا ندعو المخالفین الداخلیین أن یتخلّوا عن مناصرة المعتّدین نصرة للإسلام والشعب المسلم، وأن ینضموا إلی المجاهدین لمقاومة العدوان الخارجي، فإن أخلصوا الرجوع في هذا المجال، فباب الإمارة الإسلامیة مفتوح أمامهم، وإن لم یجدوا في أنفسهم همّة الانضمام إلی المجاهدین فلیختاروا العودة إلی الحیاة العادیة، وسيؤمنون علی أرواحهم، وأموالهم، وأعراضهم. ولاشك أن أفغانستان هي دار مشتركة لجمیع الأقوام و القبائل الساكنة فیها، وإنّ تحریرها والدفاع عنها واجب جمیع أبناء هذا البلد. إلی الأعداء الخارجیّین : یجب علی أعدائنا الخارجیّین أن یعلموا جّیداً أنّنا لا نجازف لهم في القول، ولا نخاطبهم بكلام من الخیال، بل ندعوهم إلی الطریق الحقیقي والواقعي لحلّ القضایا، والطریق هو: إنكم أیها الأعداء لم تسمعوا إلی كلامنا قبلا بدأ عدوانكم علی بلدنا، أو كنتم تنظرون إلیه من موقف العداء. وها أنتم الآن تدركون أن سیركم في السنوات العشرة الماضیة كان سفراً في التیه. إنّكم أنفقتهم أموالكم، وأرقتم دماءكم، ولكنّكم لم تتقدّموا أبدا!. ما هي مقارنتكم لأوضاع أفغانستان وأمریكا الحالیة بأوضاع البلدین فیما كانا فیه قبل عشر سنوات؟ فإن تركتم خداع أنفسكم وخداع العالم، فإنكم لاشك ستعترفون بأنّ ما حصل للبلدین هو التأخّر ولیس التقدّم. وإن كنتم لا زلتم تنخدعون بالمؤتمرات الجوفاء مثل مؤتمر (بون) وبالمجازفات القولیة والخیالیة لجنرالاتكم، فإنكم لا شك تقطعون طریقكم نحو الهزیمة والدمار. إن شعبنا لا یخضع للأجانب، ولا یرضی بالتقهقر عن موقفه وعقیدته، والحیاة لیست عندنا عزیزة إلی حدّ أن نضحّي بالدین في سبیلها. بل إنّ حیاتنا ومماتنا كلاهما كانتا وستكونان لله تعالی. إنّنا نفرح بالتضحیة في سبیل الله تعالی ونفتخر بها، وأنتم تحاربون لأجل المال والأهداف التوسّعیة. إن جنودكم لا یتمتعون بالروح القتالیة العالیة، ولذلك یخسرون معنویاتهم الحربیة في المعركة، لأن اعتمادهم هو علی الأسلحة والوسائل المادّیة فقط. وبناءً علی ما عندنا من المعلومات الموثوقة فإن مئات الآلاف من جنودكم جاؤوا إلی أفغانستان بشكل متناوب خلال عشر سنوات ماضیة، ولكن الذي یقاتل جنودكم هو نفس (الطالب) والمجاهد الذي بدأ قتالكم قبل عشر سنوات. إنه لم یتعب، ولم یتضایق من محاربتكم. فالآن أمامكم طریق واحد فقط. وهو إخراج جمیع قواتكم من أرضنا علی الفور، وفي هذا وحده صلاحكم. اتركوا بلدنا وشعبنا لأبناء هذا الشعب، لأن هذه الأرض هي الأرض الأفغان، وإقامة النظام، وتعیین كیفیته فیه هو عمل الأفغان فقط. إننا لا نرید إضرار الشعوب والبلاد الأخرى، وإنّنا نؤمن بالحوار لحل جمیع النزاعات والمعضلات، وقد أخبرناكم بهذا الموقف قبل عشر سنوات، ولا زلنا علی نفس الموقف، وقد كلّفنا الجهة المسؤولة في الإمارة الإسلامیة بأن تتفاهم مع جمیع الدول في حدود مراعاة قیمنا الدینیة والوطنیة، وأن تقدّم سیاسة الإمارة الإسلامیة وموقفها بشكل صحیح للعالم كله. حول خسائر المدنیین : هناك أمر یقلقنا جداً وهو موضوع مقتل المدنیین وتضرّرهم من الحرب، وما یرتبط من هذا الأمر بالعدوّ فهو أنّ القوات الأجنبیة لم تأت إلی هنا إلاّ للقتل والتعذیب. وأمّا المجاهدون فیجب علیهم من باب المسؤولیة الشرعیة أن یحافظوا علی سلامة أرواح الناس وأموالهم. ویتوّجب علی المدنیین أیضا أن یساعدوا المجاهدین في الحیلولة دون وقوع الخسائر في صفوف المدنیین بالابتعاد عن أماكن تواجد العدوّ وتردّده، وطرق مرور قوافله في القری والأریاف، وأن یراعوا جمیع التدابیر التي یعلن عنها المجاهدون لمنع وقوع الخسائر في المدنیین أثناء الهجمات علی العدوّ. ولكی لا تقع الخسائر في المدنیین یجب علی المجاهدین مراعاة الأمور التالیة : (ألف) یجب علی ولاة جمیع الولایات أن ینتبهوا إلی سلامة أرواح وأموال المدنیین، وأن یعملوا في مناطقهم لمنع إرسال الرسائل والمكالمات التلفونیة التي یُهَدّدُ فیها الناس باسم المجاهدین، وكذلك یُطلب منهم أن یكلّفوا علماء الدین في مناطقهم بوعظ المجاهدین و إرشادهم إلی الحفاظ علی أرواح الناس وأموالهم و أعراضهم، وأن یدعوهم إلی أعمال الخیر. وأن یرفعوا التقاریر الوافیة إلی القیادة العلیا عن الأضرار اللاحقة بالمدنیین سواءً التی یتسبّب فیها المجاهدون یقیناً، أو التي یُشك في أن یكون المجاهدون ضالعین فیها. (ب) فإن تضرّر في بعض المناطق المدنيون من ألغام المجاهدین، أومن هجماتهم الاستشهادیة، أو عملیاتهم الأخرى، ولم یُقرّ مجاهدو تلك المنطقة بالضلوع في تلك الخسائر، إلاّ أنّ القرائن والأدلّة كانت تشیر إلی ضلوع المجاهدین فیها، فلیُحال أمر الضالعین المشكوكین فیها إلی المحكمة الشرعیة. فإن ثبت بالأدلة القطعیة أن قتل المدنیین المسلمین بالفعل وقع بسبب غفلة المجاهدین، فلیُعاقب المرتكبون لهذا العمل بالعقاب الشرعي بعد البحث والتدقیق في القضیة، ولیَقُم المجاهدون باسترضاء ورثة الضحایا. (ج) وإن تكررّ من المسؤولین المعاقبین عدم الاحتیاط في قضیة خسائر المدنیین فلیُعزلوا من الوظائف، علاوة علی المعاقبة الشرعیة للمرة الأخرى. (د) فإن أُلحقت الخسارة في الأرواح بالمدنیین فی مناطق المجاهدین من قِبَلِ المجاهدین أومن قِبَلَ أیّة جهة مجهولة أخری، فلتقم الجهة المسؤولية للمجاهدین في المنطقة، ولجنة الإعلام بالإمارة الإسلامیة بالحصول علی المعلومات من مختلف المصادر، و لتُرفع تلك المعلومات إلی القیادة من دون تفویت الأوان. وفي الأخیر: وفي الأخیر نسأل لكم جمیعاً من الله تعالی السرور والسعادة، وأهنئكم من عمق فوادي أنتم و ذویكم بحلول عید الأضحى المبارك، و رجائي من المجاهدین في خنادق الجهاد هو الالتزام بالوحدة والأخوّة وتقوی الله تعالی. و أرجو ممن منّ الله تعالی علیهم بسعة العیش أن لا ینسوا الفقراء والمساكین فی هذا الیوم، وأن یساعدوا الأیتام والمساكین بما یستطیعون. وأهیب بالمسلمین في العالم أن یستفیدوا أعظم استفادة من التغیّرات الجاریة في العالم الإسلامي لصالح الإسلام وبلادهم الإسلامیة بالوحدة والالتزام بأحكام دینهم. و أوصي جمیع الحركات الإسلامیة والجهادیة في كل أنحاء العالم أن یتجنّبوا من الوقوع في المؤامرات التي تخالف شرعنا الإسلامي، وتجلب لها الشكوك، وتسيء إلی سمعة المجاهدین، وتتسبب في وجود الفجوة بینها وبین الشعوب المسلمة. وأسال الله تعالی أن یبدّل أحزاننا ومشقّاتنا بالسعادة، وأن یوفّقنا لإقامة حكومة إسلامیة حرّة شامخة، آمین یا رب العلمین. والسلام علیكم ورحمة الله وبركاته. والسلام

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الله أكبر الله أكبر ، لاإله إلا الله و الله أكبر ، الله أكبر و لله الحمد.

الحمد لله رب العالمین والصلاة والسلام علی قائد المجاهدين وإمام المرسلين سيدنا ونبينا محمد وعلی آله وصحبه أجمعين وبعد:

إِنَّآ أَعْطَیْنَـکَ الکَوْثَرَ (۱) فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّکَ وانْحَرْ (۲) إِنَّ شَانِئَکَ هُوَ الأَبْـتَـرُ(۳) صدق الله العظیم

افغانستان کے مجاہد ملّت اور تمام عالم اسلام کو! السلام علیکم ورحمة اللہ وبرکاتہ

سب سے پہلے عیدالاضحی مبارک ہو! آپ کی قربانیاں، صدقات اور عبادات قبول ہوں، حجاج کرام کے حج، دعائیں اور بہادر مجاہد اقوام کا جہاد اور قربانیاں اللہ تعالیٰ اپنے دربار میں قبول فرمائیں۔

شہداءکے ورثاءکو اللہ تعالیٰ نعم البدل اور صبر جمیل عطا فرمائے، ان کے خاندانوں اور یتیموں کی اللہ تعالیٰ حفاظت کرے۔

اللہ تعالیٰ تکلیف میں مبتلا مسلمانوں کی تکالیف اور مشکلات کو خوشی اور راحت میں بدل دے اور ہمارے قیدیوں کو دشمن کے وحشی عقوبت خانوں سے خیریت کے ساتھ رہائی نصیب فرمائے، اور انہیں اپنے خاندانوں سے ملادے۔ اللہ رب العزت اپنی قدرتِ کاملہ سے ہمارے دشمن کو مزید شکست اور ذلت سے دوچار کردے۔

گزشتہ عیدوں کی طرح ایک بار پھر چاہتا ہوں کہ اُن چند اہم مسائل کے حوالے سے جن سے ہمارا اور آپ کا مستقبل وابستہ ہے، اپنا نقطہ نظر آپ کے سامنے واضح کروں۔

دس سال ہوچکے ہیں، ہمارے غیور مجاہدین ایک مقدس ہدف کے لیے ظالم اور قابض دشمن کے ساتھ جہاد میں مصروف ہیں اور ہر روز قربانیاں دے رہے ہیں۔ انہوں نے مادی لحاظ سے دنیا کی سب سے بڑی اور مغرور طاقت کو اللہ تعالیٰ کی نصرت ِکاملہ کے ساتھ شکست کے دہانے پر کھڑا کیا ہوا ہے۔ مجاہدین نے ان کے ہزاروں فوجیوں کو قتل، زخمی اور بہت ساروں کو دائمی اپاہج بنادیا ہے اور نفسیاتی بیماریوں میں مبتلا کیا ہے، نتیجتاً ان کے اپنے عوام ان کے خلاف اُٹھ کھڑے ہوئے ہیں اور اب امریکی اور یورپی عوام اس بات کے لیے تیار نہیں کہ وہ افغان جنگ کو طول دیں اور اپنے مارے جانے والے فوجیوں کے تابوت دیکھیں!!

یہ صرف اور صرف اللہ تعالیٰ کا فضل وکرم ہے کہ ملک اور اسلامی دنیا کے مستقبل کے بارے میں اس اہم موقع پر ہم سے اور آپ سے خدمت لی گئی اور اسلام کے عظیم دشمن کو ہمارے ہاتھوں سے زدوکوب کیا گیا۔ ان تمام حساس حالات اور مواقع پر تمام مجاہدین کو یہ پیغام ہے کہ وہ ان تمام کامیابیوں کو صرف اور صرف اللہ تعالیٰ کی مدد اور اپنی قوم کی بے پناہ قربانی کا نتیجہ سمجھیں۔ کسی کے ساتھ ظلم نہ کیا جائے، اسلحے کے زور پر کسی کو دھمکی نہ دی جائے، بیت المال کی پوری احتیاط کی جائے، اپنے بڑوں کی مکمل اطاعت کی جائے اور وہ کام جن کا مطالبہ نفس اور خواہشات کرتے ہیں، ان سے اجتناب برتا جائے۔

مجاہدین بھائیوں! آپ خوب سمجھتے ہیں کہ قابض دشمن رسواکن شکست کا سامنا کررہا ہے، اس سال کے ”بدر“ آپریشن نے اُن کے تمام منصوبوں اور مکاریوں کو ناکام بنادیا ہے، دارالحکومت کابل سمیت ملک کے ہر حصے میں ان کو بے پناہ مالی اور جانی نقصان پہنچ چکا ہے۔ تو ان حساس لمحات میں تمام مسولین اور منسوبین آپس میں اتحاد اور وحدت کو مزید مستحکم کریں،کیونکہ اب دشمن چاہتا ہے کہ وہ مجاہدین کے مابین مختلف ناموں سے اختلاف پیدا کرے اور امارت ِاسلامیہ کی حیران کن اور قابلِ فخر عسکری کارروائیوں، پیش قدمیوں اور کامیابیوں کو دوسروں سے منسوب کردے، تاکہ ایک طرف وہ اپنی رسواکن شکست کو چھپائے اور دوسری جانب پڑوسی ممالک کو مورد الزام ٹھیراتے ہوئے افغانستان میں امریکا کے مستقل اڈوں کے لیے مصنوعی دلائل گھڑے۔ لیکن آپ اس بات کو سمجھیں کہ ہم نے اس حوالے سے اُن کے غلامانہ جرگوں اور مستقل اڈوں کی مخالفت کی ہے اور کررہے ہیں، اور کبھی بھی انہیں بننے نہیں دیں گے، ہمارے عوام چاہے وہ ملک سے باہر ہوں یا ملک کے اندر، ان کو چاہیے کہ وہ پوری سمجھ اور دانائی سے کام لیں اور دشمنوں کے منصوبوں کو ناکام بنانے کے لیے اپنے اقدامات مزید تیز کردیں، اور دشمن کے بے جا پروپیگنڈے کے اثر میں نہ آئیں۔ امارت ِاسلامیہ کے مجاہدین کی کارروائیوں سے اپنے آپ کو اسلامی امارت کے ترجمانوں، اسلامی امارت کی ویب سائٹ اور اسلامی امارت کے جرائد کے ذریعے باخبر رکھیں۔ ہمارے عوام کو چاہیے کہ وہ گزشتہ دس سال کی طرح اب بھی مجاہدین کے ساتھ کھڑے رہیں اور اپنے حوصلے بلند رکھیں۔ ہمارا جہاد اللہ تعالیٰ کی رضا، ملک کی آزادی، استقلال اور امن کے لیے جاری ہے، ہم اس عقیدے کا دفاع کررہے ہیں جو ہمارا اور آپ کا مشترکہ عقیدہ ہے، اور وہ صرف اور صرف اسلام ہے۔ اور ہمیں یقین ہے کہ ہماری اور آپ کی عزت اور وقار اسی راستے میں ہے، اور ہم ایک بار پھر عزت دار قوم کی طرح دنیا میں سر اُٹھاکر جئیں گے۔ ہم اپنے افغان مخالفین کو دعوت دیتے ہیں کہ وہ اسلام اور قوم کی خاطر قابضین کی حمایت چھوڑ دیں اور بیرونی حملہ آوروں کے مقابلے کے لیے مجاہدین کے شانہ بشانہ کھڑے ہوجائیں۔ اگر اس حوالے سے اخلاص کے ساتھ آپ نے رجوع کیا تو امارتِ اسلامیہ کے دروازے آپ کو کھلے ہوئے ملیں گے۔ یا پھر آپ کم ازکم عام زندگی کی طرف لوٹ آئیں تو آپ کے جان، مال اور عزت محفوظ رہیں گے۔ بلاشک وشبہ افغانستان یہاں بسنے والی تمام اقوام کا مشترکہ گھر ہے اور اس کی حفاظت اور آزادی سب کا فریضہ ہے۔

ہمارے بیرونی دشمنوں کو اچھی طرح یہ سمجھ لینا چاہیے کہ ہم اُن کے سامنے خالی خولی باتیں نہیں کررہے ہیں اور نہ ہی کوئی بھڑک مار رہے ہیں، بلکہ ہم واقعتاً ان کو مسئلے کی حقیقی اور سچی راہ کی طرف بلا رہے ہیں، اور وہ راہ یہ ہے کہ: جب تم نے پہلے دن افغانستان پر حملہ کیا تو ہماری بات کو یا تو تم نے نہیں سنا یا پھر اسے دشمن کے موقف سے تعبیر کیا، لیکن اب تم نے دیکھ لیا کہ دس سال تک تم نے بے منزل سفر کیا ہے، اپنے پیسے ضائع کیے ہیں، خون بہایا ہے، لیکن کوئی پیش قدمی نہیں کرسکے۔ اب تم امریکا اور افغانستان کے موجودہ حالات کا دس سال پہلے والے حالات سے کس طرح موازنہ کروگے؟

اگر اپنے آپ کو اور دنیا کو دھوکا نہ دو تو یقینا اس بات کو مانوگے کہ یہ دونوں ممالک سابقہ ادوار کے برعکس بہت زیادہ تنزلی کا شکار ہوئے ہیں، اور اگر افغانستان کے حوالے سے تم اب بھی بون کی طرح کی بے فائدہ کانفرنسوں اور اپنے جرنیلوں کی بھڑکوں کو سنو گے تو یقینا مزید تباہی کی طرف گامزن رہوگے!

ہماری قوم اغیار کے سامنے سرنگوں ہونے والی قوم نہیں، اپنے موقف اور عقیدے سے پسپائی کو وہ نہیں مانتی، ہمیں زندگی اتنی عزیز نہیں کہ اس کے لیے اپنے دین کو چھوڑ دیں، بلکہ ہماری زندگی اور موت اللہ تعالیٰ کے لیے تھی اور ہے۔ ہم اللہ کی راہ میں قربانی پر
