New statement from al-Qā’idah in the Arabian Peninsula: "Condolences on the Death of Shaykh ‘Aṭīyyatullah al-Lībī"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

UPDATE 1/19/12 1:11 PM: Here is an English translation of the below Arabic statement:
In the name of Allah the most merciful
{Think not of those who are slain in Allah’s way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord}
All praise is due to Allah the Lord of the Worlds, and may the peace and blessings be upon the most honorable Prophet and Messenger, our Prophet Muhammad, his household and Companions.
And Thereafter:
With hearts satisfied with Allah’s judgments, reassured of His promise, the Mujahideen in the Arabian Peninsula offer condolences to the Muslim Umma generally and to the Mujahideen in the battlefield of Khurasaan specifically for the death of the nurturing Sheikh and the caller and the unifying Muhajir, Abu Abdul Rahman Attiyah Allah Jamaal Al-Misraati may Allah have mercy on him and raise his degree in the ranks of the martyrs, for the Sheikh may Allah have mercy upon him was killed by the Americans after a long journey of Hijrah and Jihad in Allah’s name against the Crusader tyrants and the arrogant apostates, this journey began with his joining the Mujahideen in Islamic Maghreb, fighting the tyrant of Libya Al-Qaddafi and his sacrifice continued so that he participated in several different fronts until Allah honored him with fighting the Americans in the battlefield of Khurasaan, and with the journey of Jihad and sacrifice, he spared no effort in calling to Allah and direction, for he was an Imam for the truth, gathering and not dividing, and seeking to be closer and to make the ranks and unify the efforts, so Allah’s mercy is wide.
And the greatest thing that consoles the Umma in its tragedy is that the Sheikh was killed while he was steadfast on righteousness -we consider him thus- and his death will only be -Allah willing- motive for his brother Mujahideen after him to continue Jihad in the name of Allah and giving all they can to restore Allah’s rule on earth and restore the stolen rights of the Umma.
{And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not.}

al-Ma’sadat Media Foundation presents new research from Abū Sa'd al 'Āmilī: "For You Is Your Religion, And For Me Is My Religion: Neo-Islamists and Democracy"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

NOTE: The first part of the title of this research is verse 109:6 of the Qur’ān (Sūrat al-Kāfirūn; The Disbelievers). For those interested, here is some Qur’ān tafāsīr (exegesis) from classical mufassirūn (exegetes) on this particular verse:
Asbāb al-Nuzūl (Occasions of Revelation) al-Wāhidī:
(Say: O disbelievers! …) [109:1-6]. These verses was revealed about a group of people from the Quraysh who said to the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace: “Come follow our religion and we will follow yours. You worship our idols for a year and we worship you Allah the following year. In this way, if what you have brought us is better than what we have, we would partake of it and take our share of goodness from it; and if what we have is better than what you have brought, you would partake of it and take your share of goodness from it”. He said: “Allah forbid that I associate anything with Him”, and so Allah, exalted is He, revealed (Say: O disbelievers!) up to the end of the Surah. The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, then went to the Sacred Sanctuary, which was full of people, and recited to them the Surah. It was at that point that they despaired of him.
Tafsīr al-Tustarī:
(You have your religion and I have a religion). You have your choice (ikhtiyār) for your religion and I have my choice for a religion. Then [this verse] was abrogated by the verse of the sword [9:5]. His words, Exalted is He.
Tafsīr al-Jalālayn:
You have your religion, idolatry, and I have a religion’, Islam: this was [revealed] before he was commanded to wage war [against the idolaters] (all seven Qur’ānic readers omit the yā’ of the genitive possessive construction [in wa-liya dīni] whether with a pause or without; Ya‘qūb, however, retains it in both cases).
Tanwīr al-Miqbās min Tafsīr Ibn ‘Abbās:
(Unto you your religion) of disbelief and ascribing partners to Allah, (and unto me my religion) Islam and faith in Allah. The verses of fighting then abrogated this and the Prophet (pbuh) did fight them.’
Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr:
(To you be your religion.) means disbelief. (and to me my religion.) means, Islam. This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat Qul ya Ayyuhal-Kafirun.
