Kavkaz Center presents a new video message from the Amīr of the Caucasus Emirate Dokku Umarov: "Answers To Questions"

UPDATE 5/19/12 2:54 PM: Here is an English translation of the below Russian video message:

The Muslims of Chechnya, of the Caucasus and those around the world who are following the events in the Caucasus welcomed with great satisfaction the news that the Fitnah between the Mujahideen, which lasted nearly a year, was over.
However, the opponents of the Caucasus Emirate, both in Russia and the West, keep trying to sow discord among the Mujahideen. Muslims are interested in [your] evaluation of these events, the prospects for Jihad in the Caucasus, and the reaction to the enemies’ attempts to sow discord between the Mujahideen. Amir Dokku Abu Usman:Before answering this question, I want to remind you a Hadith which says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Allah three things: First, that his Ummah should not endure the punishment that has befallen upon the Ummah of the previous Prophets, secondly, that the Ummah would never be conquered and destroyed by foreign enemies – that one too, received a positive answer. But to the third request of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) – that his Ummah should not fall into Fitnah (temptation, controversy – KC) – Allah did not answered. (Sahih Muslim, Book 41, 6904, also in Sahih Bukhari). So we know that our Ummah has always suffered from Fitnah. I can not say that the Fitnah that has occurred in the Caucasus was so important on the scale of the Islamic Ummah and the Mujahideen around the world, but it was quite painful for Muslims and Mujahideen of the Caucasus. Praise be to Allah, with Allah’s help we have passed this stage – this Fitnah – without bloodshed, without losses, we came out of it smarter, and praise be to Allah, none of the parties overstepped that line of no return. Al-HamduliLlah, let us give praise to the Almighty for that. We also know that for us Muslims, when we disagree, there is the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with the help of which it is ordered to settle our disputes. Therefore, we, as true Muslims, as true Mujahideen, turned to this commandment, and the Qur’an and the Sunnah have judged our misunderstandings. The Ulama, scholars of Islam, have judged Insha’Allah, with Allah’s help. We have passed this stage, based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah, and we greatly gladden for that. Therefore, the reaction of the enemies – who wanted so much that the Mujahideen of the Caucasus, of Wilayah Nokhchicho split – was negative, as their trick did not worked. Insha’Allah, in the future we will make sure that none of these disagreements [remain] between us by our fault, because the Muslims and the Islamic Ummah could suffer from that. Could you tell us the names of the commanders, who have now renewed their Bayah, out of those who came out of it last year? What is their status today? The enemies of the Caucasus Emirate are still trying to use different [commanders’] names for their manipulations, their speculations. We have access to the media, we also listen to the radio, we even browse the internet and see that the enemies of Islam can not settle down. The enemies of the Caucasus Mujahideen inflate this Fitnah, using the names of some of the Mujahideen who were not seen at the Majlis, during which Bayah were renewed (In June 2011). I want to frustrate these journalists, these professionals, these analysts. All the Amirs have renewed their Bayah. Their presence during the general meeting was not compulsory. Today we face difficulties, so we were not able to come together to show it, but Al-HamduliLlah, all the Amirs have renewed their Bayah and have come back under the common oath. Therefore, it is worthless to devise and exaggerate the gossips around the names of the Mujahideen, because there is no ground for that. As it is well known, since the proclamation of the Caucasus Emirate, some former members of the former government of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria made a charge to your address, saying that you allegedly received $500 million from Russia’s FSB for proclaiming the CE.


In this regard – as often the name of Movladi Udugov is mentioned, and you as well for that matter – have been accused of having your children supposedly attend the best universities abroad and not being involved in Jihad. How do you comment on these speculations? Amir Dokku Abu Usman (Ironically): We know well what is $500 million. This is half a billion. We also know that today the current situation in the Caucasus does not require such a large sum (he smiles). I can give you a small example, from reliable sources, from our Mujahideen, who were held captive by the FSB, in the infidels’ torture chambers. They told us that they were asked to sign on, to cooperate with them, and when they got on their mission, their first task was to kill Udugov. The price determined by the FSB for Udugov’s head is $500 thousands, so I want to ask those who spread these rumours – first they gave [me] $500 million, and then they give $500 thousand to kill Udugov or anyone else. We also know now that they have put $5 million on my head. Then the question arises, why give $500 million and then give a such a measly sum to try to destroy us? I do not want to mention the name of the person who propagated this Fitnah, I do not want to name the voice behind these rumours, but we know that this person obviously takes anyone who listens to him and believes him, for fools. But he is rather an idiot himself if he believes his words, and spread these rumours. Udugov did not took part in the proclamation of the Caucasus Emirate. The Caucasus Emirate was proclaimed by me, it had been agreed at the time by the Qadi of the Caucasus (In Islam, the Qadi judges everything in conformity with Sharia – KC) Seyfullah Kabardinskiy (Anzor Astemirov – KC). So, the accusation that we have received $500 million [for it], is a gossip for idiots. And the fact that they say that my children are studying in top universities abroad, it is also a gossip from the same horn, from the same category. My eldest son is not 10 years old. Insha’Allah, when they become adults, we will call upon them to Jihad, and the university education they will receive, will be – Insha’Allah – in Jihad. Gossipers spread rumours, they hear rumours, but they do not know where he is (his son). Right now, you can check the official data on how old my children are (1). What is the general situation at the fronts of the Caucasian Jihad? How do you assess the prospects of the Caucasus Emirate? Amir Dokku Abu Usman: The peak of Russia’s financial might was from 2010 – 2011. Now, Insha’Allah, there is a recession. We know that Jihad depends on finances. We also know that the Jihad in the Caucasus has raised its price, and all around us there are no Islamic states, which would help us, so it is doubly hard to wage Jihad in the Caucasus, where we are completely surrounded by the infidels. But Al-HamduliLlah, I am glad the situation that has developed to date. I thought the most important task for myself was to keep the Jihad in the Caucasus, and we have – with Allah’s help, with the help of fellow Mujahideen, who have rallied around us today in the Caucasus, with the help of Allah, Insha’Allah – kept this Jihad. The changes that take place in the world, will directly affect the Caucasus, by the will of Allah. We are always prepared to accept Mujahideen who are ready to set out for Jihad, for the sake of making supreme the word of Allah. We – linked like a chain – are the ones who passes down this flag, the banner of Jihad, to the next generation. Al-HamduliLlah we saved it, Al-HamduliLlah today’s youth struggle against vice, for Islamic values. They grow and support this Jihad, and are prepared to stand in the ranks of the Mujahideen at the first call. This made me very happy, Insha’Allah. And today there is a lull (in fighting), as this is evident. Yes, we are tired, yes we suffered heavy casualties, but Al-HamduliLlah, with the help of Allah we will not stop, Insha’Allah. There will be results, the results will be seen in the spring offensive. As you know, the United States have put the CE on their so-called “black list”, and have announced a bounty of 5 million dollars on you personally.


What is your assessment of the United States’ open hostility with respect to the CE and the Muslims of the Caucasus? What do you think motivated them to do this? What is the purpose of the Americans? Amir Dokku Abu Usman: If we look at the 11th and 12th verses of the Surat Baqara of the Holy Qur’an, we read in them that the oppressors, in fact, consider themselves the masters of the world and that they say they need to set the world order. I believe that the United States is among these oppressors. They believe that they have the right to declare whoever they want a terrorist, and they can offer a bounty for whoever they want, since they consider themselves the masters of the world. But this issue has two aspects – which I can see – to it. The first – The Americans and those like them understand that there is unity between the Mujahideen in the Caucasus and that the Mujahideen will be under a unified command, that they will perform Jihad for the sake of making supreme the word of Allah. So, the Americans send a message to the Mujahideen who have fallen into the Fitnah. So then, they declare that your Amir is a “terrorist” and, also, the Caucasus Emirate has been declared a “terrorist organization.” If you want to be legitimate and if you want support, you shall not ally with him. But, Al-HamduliLlah, this message to the Mujahideen fell on deaf ears, Al-HamduliLlah, the Mujahideen all stood under the flag of the Caucasus Emirate, all stood by the Bayah to Abu Usman. Al-HamduliLlah, their plot did not develop. The second aspect – We know that they, the Kremlin oppressors, will make any concession to achieve their goals and the Americans, knowing their sickness, make a little present to Moscow for which they (the Russians) will pay, or have paid, a huge price. What price, I don’t know, for I am not interested. So, I think it is for those two reasons that the Americans took this step, maybe for Russia, maybe for their own interests. But, it makes no difference to me. Al-HamduliLah, now, I am the enemy of all of the enemies of Allah. What message you would like to convey to the Mujahideen of the Caucasus and the Muslim Ummah? Amir Dokku Abu Usman:To the Mujahideen of the Caucasus and around the world, I address them with an appeal to keep their feet fixed on the path of Jihad. Allah has blessed us with Jihad. Praise Allah that today we are Mujahideen and that today we are part of the Mujahideen Army, which goes to Jihad for the sake of making supreme the word of Allah. By Allah, there is no other mission that is more honourable for us in this world. Allah blessed us with His mercy and we must show our appreciation to Almighty Allah. Today, Jihad is Fard-ayn (obligatory) for every Muslim, as the Islamic Ummah is now going through a very though time. Anyone who does not partake in Jihad today is in danger of being in a very tough position on the Day of Judgment. Al-HamduliLlah, we should be proud that today we are able to see Jihad, we need to strengthen our Imaan, our faith in Allah, fear Allah Subhana wa ta’ala, and make Dua’a for our entire Ummah, make Dua’a for each other and worry for each other. I also want address the Mujahideen of the Caucasus. We are at a new year, 1433 Hijri year. Another year of Jihad has gone by, many of our Mujahideen brothers were martyred (Insha’Allah). May Allah accept their martyrdom. We hope that Allah will unite us with them, and that we all will enter in the gardens of Paradise. Al-HamdulilLah, we know, many of them were close to us and we feel the loss of our brothers. But, Allah knows best, Allah has called them to Himself. We do not know how we will reach our end. We make Dua’a, praying to Allah that our end will be just as dignifying of an end as that of our brothers and that we will all enter in the gardens of Paradise, Insha’Allah. And glory be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Translated by Abu Waqas al-Muhajir, may Allah (swt) reaward him, for the Kavkaz-Jihad blog.

Kavkaz Center presents a new video message from Dokku Umarov the Amīr of the Caucasus Emirate: "Order of the Caucasus Emirate Amīr Regarding the Status of Russian Civilians"

UPDATE 2/3/12 11:18 AM: Here is an English translation of the below Russian video message:

I seek refuge in Allah from Satan the accursed, in the name of Allah the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah the lord of the Worlds, we ask Him help and forgiveness, and we seek refuge in Him from the evil of our own selves and from the evil consequences of our actions. He whom Allah guides to the straight path, will never be mislead, and he whom Allah leaves, no one can guide him to the straight path. I testify there is no divinity but Allah and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. As-Salam Aleykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Dear Mujahideen brother, I, today, address to all Mujahideen of the Caucasus Emirate, as well to all Mujahideen special groups of the Caucasus Emirate. Today, the current events in Russian show us that the peaceful Russian population does not support the Putin Chekist regime, and does not support these perverts [of the regime]. And today, these peaceful civilians are hostages of this very regime that fight against Islam with cruelty, in the Caucasus. Due to the recent events, we are obliged to spare these peaceful civilians from the special operations that we are preparing and carrying on the Russian territory, as it is prescribed to us by our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). If these peaceful civilians do not take part in the war against Muslims or if they do not support these perverts [of the regime] who fight Islam, then it is genuinely a pacific population. And that’s why our religion orders us to protect these peaceful civilians and to not touch them. Today’s events show us that the population of Russia does not support Putin, and that they are also exploited by these perverts, they are also hostages to this Chekist regime. So, that’s why I order all special groups – who carry out or are ready to carry out special operations on Russian territory – to limit these operations, if there is a risk that the peaceful Russian population be harmed. Carry out these special operations with precision, against the law enforcement structures, against the intelligence services, against these perverts ‘Siloviki’ who today, by their words and acts harm Islam, and who are the enemies of Allah. And [carry these operations] against the national traitors. So we have delimited the circle of those against whom it is permitted to carry special operations. Insha’Allah, I hope you will properly understand my order. Insha’Allah you will carry out my order, because Allah charged you with this task. As-Salam Aleykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh. Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Translation by Yahya Dagestanskiy (may Allah reward him) for the Kavkaz-Jihad blog. Edition and adaptations by the Kavkaz-Jihad blog.

Kavkaz Center presents a new video message from the Amīr of the The Caucasus Emirate Dokku Umarov: "To the Turkish People and its Government Regarding the Istanbul Assassinations"


Russian:

English:
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful!
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon you!
I want to appeal to the people of Turkey, to my brothers, to the Muslims of Turkey, to security services of Turkey, to officials, to President Gul and Prime Minister Recep Erdogan.
I am appealing to you about recent sad events took place on your territory. We must not forget that we are members of one Ummah, that we are the brothers in faith and have always supported each other, because we all worship one God – Allah.
I repeat that I am appealing to you today about the events that occurred in your country. As you know, some of our brothers, because of injuries or health issues, or because of family circumstances stayed on your territory. We know that you gave them shelter and hospitality.
Those brothers of us were not on your territory because of “good life”. The wicked (disbelievers), and the servants of the wicked (Kadyrov’s apostates – KC) of our people kill them today on your soil already.
We know that they are being killed because of the connivance of your current bosses, your intelligence. Why? Because these killers calmly cross the border into Turkey under the cover of tourists (and tourist business for you is a must). So fear Allah, as we must all appear before Allah!
Allah will not give you pardon if you justify your connivance in killings of your Muslim brothers in your land with an argument that tourism business presumably increases your cash.
These killers also penetrate to your own land under the cover of your construction companies, which are now erecting skyscrapers and built stadiums for those slaves.
You close your eyes on it because these construction companies increase your budget. So fear Allah, it’s not an excuse for you, and not an argument before Allah.
Weapons to kill your Muslim brothers are brought to Turkey under the guise of diplomatic baggage (from Russia).
You would say that diplomacy, it is politics, but Allah will not accept this argument from you too, because today they (Kadyrov’s apostates – KC) are killing Muslims.
These slaves, who sold themselves to the infidels, they know neither hospitality nor honor. Honor is not given to the slave! You are to fight for honor against the enemies who encroach on it, and the slaves are not capable to do that, because they have no honor and know no hospitality. And you open the gates of your state, you let them roam freely in your country and kill those Muslims whom you are obliged to protect, according to Islam.
So fear Allah! Do not forget that. I appeal to the whole people of Turkey, the Turkish government and remind you that no one has yet managed to escape death. Every man will appear before Allah and everybody will taste death, which completely closes the diary of our life.
What we are going to present before Allah is to be done sincerely and for Allah’s sake, but on you lays today the responsibility to protect your brothers.
If you allow those wicked and their killer slaves to roam freely in your country, and allow them to kill your brothers, then you are responsible before the Almighty in this life and the life to come, the eternal life.
We must not forget that the ideological politics of Russia has been always based on the plans to capture Istanbul, since they consider Istanbul the cradle of their religion.
I think that the Russians have actually captured Istanbul from you, because these killers feel so freely today on its territory. Their impunity means that they have achieved their goals.
So I once again appeal to you and encourage you that you take measures that these wicked are no longer capable to encroach on the lives of your fellow Muslims from the Caucasus.
If you are unable to take such measures, then, Insha’Allah, with Allah’s help we will take necessary measures ourselves, there can be no doubt about it! If we take a retaliatory action, then Russia will never think to kill even a single Caucasian on your territory.
We ask you, for the sake of Allah, do not allow this lawlessness happen on you territory. For Allah’s sake, because we are all to appear before Allah and only what we have done for the sake of Allah will be accepted from us on the Day of Judgment.
We love you for Allah’s sake and for the sake of Allah we urge you that you also love us for the sake of Allah, and protect your brethren on your territory. You must do that in accordance with Islam, because your territory is free for Islam, and the people who need your protection should be taken under protection on your territory.
Beside me stays my deputy Khamzat, the infidels are spreading rumors that he was the one killed in Turkey. The Muslims killed in Turkey were there for health reasons, and if the health of the Mujahideen health allowed it, none of them would have been there today, because every believer in Allah who obeys to His command, feels healthy in his body and has healthy spirit, is in the Jihad here, Insha’Allah.
This is the true grace of Allah, which the Almighty has given us!
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon you!

Check out my new article for the Central Asia Caucasus Institute Analyst: "The Reunification of the Caucasus Emirate"

NOTE: I wrote this about a month ago and it was finally published on Monday so it is kind of dated, but is a good summary. It follows up on my piece about the fitnah that surrounded the Caucasus Emirate in the second half 2010 and first half of 2011 that I wrote about for the Atlantic, which you can read here. Below is the opening paragraph of my new piece for the Central Asia Caucasus Institute Analyst.

In late July 2011, the Caucasus Emirate’s official media mouthpiece Kavkaz Center announced that the two rival factions within the emirate had reconciled their differences through a Shari’ah court. Aslambek Vadalov and Khusayn Gakayev, as well as other commanders who previously rescinded their bay’at to Doku Umarov, renewed their allegiance. This episode provides further evidence of the decline of Arab fighter influence in the Caucasus jihad, yet paradoxically shows the impact of popular Arab online jihadi shaykhs. It also solidifies Umarov’s pan-Caucasus project as the leading resistance to Russian aggression in contrast to the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria’s claims as the true representatives of the more nationalist-Islamist Chechen struggle.
Read the rest here.

Kavkaz Center presents a new video message from the Amīr of the Caucasus Emirate Dokku Umarov: "Fitnah Among the Mujāhidīn Overcome, Insha'Allah!"

UPDATE 9/20/11 9:23 AM: Here is an English translation of the below video message in Russian:

I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed. In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate. Praise be to Allah from whom we seek help and forgiveness. We seek Allah’s salvation from the evil of our soules. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is Allah’s servant and His Messenger. “O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims.” (Surat Ahl ‘Imran : 102)I, the Amir of the Caucasus Mujahideen, appeal today to all Muslims and Mujahideen. Today is 10th of Sha’aban of the year 1432 from Hijra, in 10-15 days begins month of Ramadan(July 11, 2011). We all know that there is very little joy for Muslims today in this world, caused by Muslims themselves. Allah gives little joy to Muslims because we turned away from the religion of Allah. I appeal today to Muslims and Mujahideen of the whole Caucasus and the whole world. I want to inform you about a good news from the Caucasus: the fitnah that was here in Caucasus, is over. Praise be to Allah, with whose help, it ended. Every single Mujahid of Wilayah Nokhchicho gave Bayah and I’m sure that all Mujahideen and all Amirs, who labor today to elevate the word of Allah in the Caucasus, are also subordinate to their Amir and are under Bayah. It’s a big joy for all of us.As we know, this fitnah was planned by disbelievers and hypocrites. Hypocrites who sat on warm sofas in front of their TVs, to give the impression they work. We, AlHamduliLlah – the Mujahideen and Amirs who were in this fitnah – understood what’s right and came to an unanimous decision, established by a Sharia court. Thats why the fitnah is over, AlHamduliLlah. I appeal to all Mujahideen of Caucasus, to the Mujahideen in Russia, who gave us their oath. I appeal to all of you: direct all [your] forces against the enemies of Allah. Today, Allah ordered us to do Jihad against the enemies of Allah. We know that it’s our obligation to do this Jihad. It’s our duty to elevate the word of Allah on the territory which the Almighty gave us. Therefore, dear brothers I hope that this news is a big joy for you, because I know that you are true Mujahideen, true Muslims and that’s why you all were doing Dua’a and worried about that fitnah. AlhamduliLlah, it is over. With the help of Allah, with help of your Dua’a, Allah answered at our Dua’a. Dear brothers, dear Mujahideen, don’t worry, in the future, Insha’Allah, we will try to prevent such fitnah, Insha’Allah, in the future we will try to be guided only by Sharia law. Allah ordered us to live in accordance with that law and to be guided by it in our affairs AlHamduliLlah, AlHamduliLlah, AlHamduliLlah. We praise Allah, Who took this fitnah away. And our last prayer is to praise Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. As Salamu Aleykum Wa RahmatuLlahi Wa Barakatuhu.  Translation by Abdullah Umarov, may Allah (swt) reward him, for the Kavaz-Jihad blog and JamaatShariat.

Kavkaz Center presents a new statement from the Amīr of the Caucasus Emirate Dokku Umarov: "Shamil asked me: 'When you become Emir, are you going to proclaim the Emirate?'"


The editor of the Kavkaz Center received a message from Emir Dokku Abu Usman, dedicated to the 4th anniversary of the proclamation of the Caucasus Emirate.
Ramadan 1428 (October 7, 2007). This date has come down as an important event in the modern history of the peoples of the Caucasus.
25 Ramadan 1428 was also the day of distinction, which revealed sincere Muslims, dedicated to spread Allah’s word, and the hypocrites, who for many years have concealed their duplicity under verbiage about freedom and independence.
In his message Emir Dokku Abu Usman reveals some little known details about the preparation for the proclamation of the Caucasus Emirate, which has been declared not spontaneously, as opponents of Sharia tried to claim, but as a result of several years of intense debate.
The decisive factor for the cardinal change of course towards the restoration of historically conditioned single Islamic state of the Muslims of the Caucasus, was the fact that the Islamic Jihad attracted young people who sacrificed their lives for the sake of not ephemeral slogans and goals, but establish laws for the sake of Allah and the conquest of Paradise.
***
Shamil asked me: “When you become Emir, are you going to proclaim the Emirate?
The name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful!
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, Who created us Muslims and favored us with Jihad, giving us a chance to win the Paradise.
Peace and blessings be upon the Leader of all Mujahideen, Prophet Muhammad, his family, his companions and all those who follow him until the Day of Judgment. And then…
For those who become martyrs in the jihad for the Mujahideen, for the Muslims who experience difficulties, we make Dawat, or appeal, Insha’Allah, or God’s willing. We endeavor and spare no effort and we will persevere to alleviate the burden they experience.
I praise Allah for the developments that are taking place in the Islamic world today. Muslims are waking up, people are going out against the dictators and tyrants. Many of them suffer as victims. Since they have come for the establishment of the Sharia of Allah, they will be rewarded. Those who fell in this fight will go to paradise, Insha’Allah!
But if, following a deposition of one dirty slave of infidels, another one comes to power, be it an Amr Moussa or a Mohamed ElBaradei, the dead can only regret, forgive them God. And those who led these people and made them go under fire, they will not escape punishment on Judgment Day, Insha’Allah.
We make appeal for the death of those who fell for the sake of Allah, that Sharia be established in their countries and that Muslims realize the truth and follow it.
Not once has the Islamic Ummah, or Community, experienced difficulties in their history. And always have these occurred when the Muslims were divided. At the time of the Mongols the first one to fall was Khorezm Shah. Neither the Abbasid Caliphate nor Egypt has offered him assistance.
The Mongols obliterated the caliphate. The Caliph himself was killed. Muslims went panicking. The mullahs and corrupt scholars of the time, like today, conducted their dastardly work. They argued that the Mongols were Ya’juj and Ma’juj (Gog and Magog). No way to fight against them, we should await the arrival of the Prophet Isa (peace be upon him) in prayer that God would respond and destroy both Gog and Magog. Having heard such opinions, many Muslim armies just fled not to engage in battle with the Mongols.
The Mongolian army numbered 100,000 men, and the greatest number of them reached up to 150 000. However, they have killed about 10 million Muslims.
At a difficult time, Egyptian Muslims who remained so few that if they died, the religion of Islam could disappear, according to the will of God exhibited Iman, or faith, resilience and courage. They fought the Mongols, defeated them and saved the religion of Allah.
This fact, I recall especially to our brothers in Egypt that they would not forget their true heroic story, the enemies are trying to distort, and to spread worship of filthy Egyptian pharaohs among the Muslims.
Fitnah, or split, existed in the past, the same way it does today. However, we are continuing Jihad, God’s willing, because it has been entrusted to us by Allah.
And those Muslims who are not following jihad (yes, save us Allah from that), or do not intend to pursue it will die as hypocrites.
Today, we are doing jihad as far as we can and may, if we had more forces, we would do it more. In our jihad the enemies are infidels and apostates. When we put another blow to the disbelievers, hypocrites and apostates respond stronger against us than infidels themselves.
We hit them a blow in Moscow. By Allah’s will the polytheists accurately established identity of our brother who has committed Istishhad, or self-sacrifice (at Moscow’s Domodedovo airport). We had learnt about it even before the video record was sent for publication. Only after the invaders had established the identity of our brother, did we distribute our coverage.
The Russians intensely discussed why we had not published the record earlier, in an effort to ascribe to it some importance. We know the methods of Russian infidels and therefore tried to keep relatives and friends of our brother away from their tyranny. But the enemy will still interpret events his own twisted way.
This year has started well for us, Alhamdulillah, or Praise to God. With patience, we have overcome fitnah also this year. So please, make Dawat for us. Sure, we are also experiencing difficulties. No matter how much do we try to anticipate all the nuances, not everything works.
The enemy does not sleep and also plots against us, trying to respond to our actions. Some of our plans have been thwarted, but God’s willing, all that we can do, we will do, and the result is up to Allah.
Now I would like to refer to the proclamation of the Caucasus Emirate. Many things have reached my ears recently. So, I think it will be useful to highlight some points that were not particularly well known.
Allah in His mercy has given us an understanding of what is happening in this world. As we know from the Hadith, all Muslims are like one body. Mutual love, support and brotherhood. And if one part of the body hurts, then the whole body hurts. This hadith tells us to be bound by our unity and to support one other.
Jihad goes all over the world, and the time came for us to settle its details. And if you do not correct them, the question is about your Aqida, or creed. And then, when this question arose, we proclaimed the Emirate.
We must pay attention as with whom keep contacts the hypocrites who spread lies about the Emirate. Let me quote a hadith which says that on the Judgment Day, each of us will be raised with those whom he loves in this world.
The Humpty-Dumpty Kadyrov said: “I respect Mr. Putin, I like Mr. Putin”. Hence, on the Day of Judgment he will be resurrected along with Putin, Insha’Allah.
Another one is doing time with Berezovsky. We must remember that neither Berezovsky nor anyone else in Moscow could earn money, if he hadn’t been under the umbrella of the KGB, could not and can spend his earnings without permission awarded by “the office”. We also know that the KGB, the FSB and the related people never retire. They can only change the scope of their activities up to the need of their organization. Berezovsky’s money is a fund of the KGB, which is replenished at the expense of its business in Russia.
Zakayev, who also draws from the fund, teaches children and provides for his family, on the Day of Judgment also will join those whom he loved in this world, God’s willing.
Therefore, anything those people said or spoken or will say about the Emirate – is a lie There isn’t but one gram of truth in their words.
I joined jihad to raise Allah’s word, God’s willing, to perform the fard, or obligatory, because I love God, love His religion, like the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Just come with me and my brothers in Islam, Insha’Allah.
Aslan Maskhadov, subject to the global geopolitical configuration, for political reasons, in an effort to give people a break and a rest to gather strengths, played by their rules, to confront those who firmly insisted on moving to the position of Islam.
In keeping with this position and policy, he nurtured hope that the West would indeed accomplish its declarations in expectation of some sort of justice from them.
I dealt with him a lot. Aslan in his heart knew the price of all these western leaders. I can testify it that he was a genuine Muslim brother and he loved Islam.
So in 2002, Aslan chose Abdul-Khalim his naib, or deputy. And in the event of Abdul-Khalim’s death, the function would devolve to Abu-Usman (Dokku Umarov).
Why did Aslan choose me, why did he establish that chain? Because my views have not been firmly fixed yet, although I knew the price of the infidels. Aslan knew my relationship with Zakayev and therefore he hoped that, via those channels, the options would remain open to reach out for a sort of Western intermediation in order to ease the situation of the people. For this reason I was chosen naib to Abdul-Khalim.
In fact misunderstanding prevailed among the people. In 2002, Arsanov, Khamzat Gelayev, and Abdul-Malik Mezhidov refused to swear Bayat, or an oath of obedience, to Aslan Maskhadov.
We met with them. We asked them to state the motivation to refuse Bayat, and their first argument was that they were supposedly called FSB agents, insulted, and so on …
The meeting was attended by Shamil

Kavkaz Center presents a new interview with the Amīr of the Caucasus Emirate Dokku Umarov: "About Bin Lāden, the Caucasus Emirate, and Casualties Among the Mujāhidīn"


KC: The beginning of this spring has been marked by casualties among the Mujahideen of the Caucasus Emirate. The leading commanders of the Emirate – Emir Supyan, Emir Hassan, Emir Abdullah and others – martyred (Insha’Allah). These are tangible casualties. Can we say that the Mujahideen are weakened?
Dokka Abu Usman: The casualties we incurred have not weakened us and will not weaken us in the future, Insha’Allah. War is impossible without casualties. Since 1999, we have lost many of our emirs and leaders, but the Jihad did not stop, but vice versa, it expanded and strengthened. Generations of the Mujahideen replace each other. New young men take place of the deceased. More and more young men want to join the Mujahideen, but unfortunately we can not accept all the newcomers.
Another thing is that due to casualties, we have to correct our plans, to change tactics on the fields. However, that does not mean that a relative calm, for example, in Ingushetia, testifies about the weakening of the positions of the Mujahideen.
At one place, the activity of the Mujahideen could be reduced for tactical reasons, and in other place, they could be intensified. There could be a calm in Nalchik, but a major sabotage attack could be carried out in Vladivostok. We consider the Caucasus Emirate and Russia as a single theater of war.
We are not in a hurry. The path has been chosen, we know our tasks, and we will not turn back, Insha’Allah, from this path. Today, the battlefield is not just Chechnya and the Caucasus Emirate, but also the whole Russia. The situation is visible to everybody who has eyes. The Jihad is spreading, steadily and inevitably, everywhere.
I’ve already mentioned that all those artificial borders, administrative divisions, which the Taghut drew, mean nothing to us. The days when we wanted to secede and dreamed of building a small Chechen Kuwait in the Caucasus are over. Now, when you tell the young Mujahedeen about these stories, they are surprised and want to understand how those plans related to the Koran and the Sunnah.
Alhamdulillah! I sometimes think that Allah has called these young people to the Jihad, so that we, the older generation, could not stray from the right path. Now we know that we should not be divided, and must unite with our brothers in faith. We must reconquer Astrakhan, Idel-Ural, Siberia ´- these are indigenous Muslim lands. And then, God’s willing, we shall deal with Moscow ulus (district – KC).
KC: As you know, the US said that they had been able to kill bin Laden. There was a statement on behalf of al-Qaida posted on the Internet, which confirmed the martyrdom of their Emir. What is your assessment of what happened? The US says that the death of bin Laden will positively (for the West) affect the overall situation in the world.
Dokka Abu Usman: If the death of Sheikh Osama bin Laden is confirmed, then we will only say the words from the Holy Koran – “We all belong to Allah and to Him shall be our return”.
We ask Allah that He accepts the martyrdom of Sheikh bin Laden, because that man abandoned his wealth and peaceful worldly life for the sake of protecting Islam. And that is a great goal, and the reward for it is great.
With regard to the question of whether bin Laden’s death will affect the situation in the world, I think that the infidels do not believe themselves that their life became easier. According to all signs, it is clear that the world is in such situation that the death of the leaders of the Jihad cannot stop the process of the revival of Islam.
That development will go forward, regardless of the fact if the United States, Russia or the UN want it or not.
We all see that the world has changed very much.
For the first time in decades, the awakening of the Islamic Ummah from hibernation has become so clear and widespread. The Mujahideen and true scholars operate more than ever simultaneously in different regions of the globe, supporting each other and realizing the common goal. Ordinary Muslims take to the streets and express their support for the Mujahideen, demanding to restore the Sharia.
And in response, the infidels are frightening the public with al-Qaeda that allegedly became more active in the Caucasus, the Philippines, Yemen and Somalia.
KC: In this regard, we would like to hear your opinion about so-called “Arab revolutions”. Some experts say that these revolutions were initiated by Western countries.
Dokka Abu Usman: For the West, these developments were as much a surprise as for the Arab regimes. It is obvious. And it is all nonsense that America planned here, and the CIA acted there…
Allah, praise to Him, shook those regimes by His Will and Wisdom, humiliated those Taghuts who were in power for many years and humiliated the religion, and humiliated the Muslims.
And it is another problem that Western countries are trying to use the wave of “Arab revolutions”. And they manage to do it, although not everywhere.
At present, it is not all clear, and it is not clear how the events will unfold further.
Everybody sees today how America and other Western countries betray their allies, puppets, who faithfully served them for many years. Subhan’Allah, these dictators sought greatness from the infidels, while all the glory belongs to Allah and his Messenger (pbuh). Now the masters rejected them and left them to be devoured by the crowd.
The time has come for collapse of dictatorial regimes, which the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) warned about, and it is obvious.
Even if the infidels manage put in power new puppets, I’m sure that there will be no longer former control over these countries now. A completely new situation emerges before our eyes, Allah opens up new opportunities for the Muslims.
Another problem is how this opportunity will be used by the Muslims. Because Allah does not change the condition of the people unless they change it themselves.
At present, there is a state of confusion in Libya. Although, according to incoming information, groups of Mujahideen are operating there. There is a hope that they will be able to lead the Muslims.
There is no sufficient information about the situation in Egypt and Tunisia. We hope for the best, but at present, a certain calm is felt there, and, unfortunately, news reaches us that some well-known Jamaats are again going to play the game of “Democratic Islam”.
Events in Syria, as it seems, just start to unfold. There is unrest in Algeria, Morocco and Jordan.
Perhaps, the most interesting events, of all Arab countries, can be expected in Yemen, where the positions of the Mujahideen are most promising and from where a serious military movement could start.
The only thing I can say for certain is that if there are no armed force of Muslims, no Jihad and no fighting, nobody would allow us to establish the Sharia of Allah. If it were possible, it would have been done already by our Prophet (pbuh).
KC: May Allah reward you in goodness for the interview and your comments.
