New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan's Shaykh Jalāl al-Dīn al-Haqqānī: "Regarding the Passing Away of His Excellency the Late Leader of the Faithful and the Appointment of the New Leader"

l_DzlA8Q
الحمد لله الذی جعل کل من علیها فان ویبقی وجه ربک ذوالجلال والاکرام والصلوة والسلام علی سیدنا امام الجاهدین المنعوت بشرح الصدر ورفع الذکر الذی حین ارتحل قام صاحبه وقال من کان یعبد محمدا فان محمداقدمات ومن کان یعبدالله فان الله حی لایموت وعلی اصحابه الذین هم مفتاتیح الرحمة ومصابیح الغرر رضی الله عنهم ورضواعنه
To all the sympathetic Muslim countries, Islamic movements, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and most particularly to the bereaved family members and colleagues of His Excellency Amir-ul-Momineen late Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid (may his soul rest in peace)!
Peace and blessings of Allah, the Almighty, be upon you!
On the basis of a sound and rational belief, we would like to state that the passing away of His Excellency the Amir-ul-Momineen is a huge loss for the Islamic Emirate, the whole Muslim world and particularly for the Islamic Jihadi movements. We consider his sincere services and sacrifices as a cherished beneficence for the whole Muslim Umma. May Almighty Allah bestow him with an exalted abode in Paradise, and his family with patient, endurance and unfailing reward! Amin!
We are sure that the new leader Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansoor is appointed with complete legitimacy and after due consultation and he is the most suitable successor of His Excellency the late Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid (may his soul rest in peace). We fully recommend to all the senior and junior in-charge ranks of the Islamic Emirate to pledge their allegiance with him and to fully obey him. Rest assured on my personal behalf and on the behalf of our Mujahidin that we will follow him as we have obeyed the late Amir-ul-Momineen.
It is usual that the staunch enemies of Islam have always tried to misuse this kind of critical circumstances against both the Islamic movements and the Muslim masses therefore, my particular recommendation to all members of the Islamic Emirate is to maintain their internal unity and discipline. Beware that you should not be deceived by negative propaganda of the enemy otherwise, (God forbid) all the services and sacrifices of last twenty years will be marred. We seek Allah’s refuge from that unwanted situation. Not only will the oppressed people of Afghanistan be affected negatively by the internal disputes but it will definitely affect all the Muslim masses of the world. Therefore, your ranks should remain well-disciplined and fully united. Turn your complete attention towards the enemy who is on the verge of collapse.
Finally, once again, I wish you solidarity, affection, obedience and a manifest victory.
May you live prosperous and victorious!
Regards
Alhaj Moulavi Jalalludin Haqqani
