الله أکبر الله أکبر، لا إله إلا الله والله أکبر، الله أکبر ولله الحمد
الحمد لله نحمده ونستعينه ونستغفره ونعوذ بالله من شرور أنفسنا ومن سيئات أعمالنا من يهده الله فلا مضل له ومن يضلل فلا هادي له وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله. صلوات الله تعالی و سلامه علیه و علی آله و أصحابه أجمعین.
اما بعد: فقد قال الله عز وجل:
ــــ قُلْ إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّـهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿١٦٢﴾ الانعام
Translation: Indeed, my prayer, my sacrifice, my life, and my death are dedicated solely to Allah Almighty, the Lord of all worlds (Aziz al-Tafasir, Volume 4, p. 403).
ـــ وَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ ۚ … وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَاعْلَمُوٓا أَنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ
[سُوۡرَةُ البَقَرَة : ۱۹۶]
Translation: And perform the Hajj and Umrah with utmost sincerity, solely for the sake of pleasing Allah Almighty… and fear from Allah, and be aware that indeed, Allah Almighty is severe in punishment (Tafsir Kabuli, Volume 1, p. 163-166).
ــ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رضی الله تعالی عنه قَالَ : ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ ذَبَحَهُمَا بِيَدِهِ وسَمّى وَكَبّرُ قال: رَأَيْتُهُ وَاضِعًا قَدَمَهُ عَلَى صِفَاحِهِمَا وَيَقُولُ بسم الله والله اکبر، متفق عليه.
Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed two rams with horns (whose horns were long or not broken) and a speckled (black and white) sheep. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) slaughtered them with his hand Mubarak, saying “Bismillah, Allahu Akbar.” Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said that he saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) placing his foot Mubarak on their sides or necks while saying “Bismillah, Allahu Akbar” (Bukhari and Muslim).
In short, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed two speckled rams with horns, personally slaughtered them, recited “Bismillah,” proclaimed the Takbir, and placed his foot Mubarak on their sides.
ــ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « مَا عَمِلَ آدَمِىٌّ مِنْ عَمَلٍ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ إِهْرَاقِ الدَّمِ إِنَّهَا لَتَأْتِى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِقُرُونِهَا وَأَشْعَارِهَا وَأَظْلاَفِهَا وَإِنَّ الدَّمَ لَيَقَعُ مِنَ اللَّهِ بِمَكَانٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقَعَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ فَطِيبُوا بِهَا نَفْسًا» مشکوة جلد ۱ ، ص ۱۲۸
ترجمه: بي بي عائشه رضي الله تعالی عنها فرمایي: چې رسول الله صلي الله علیه وسلم وفرمایل:
Bibi Ayesha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “There is no act performed by the offspring of Adam on the Day of Sacrifice that is more beloved to Allah than the shedding of blood (through sacrifice). Indeed, the sacrificed animal will come on the Day of Judgment with its horns, hair, and hooves. The blood of the sacrifice reaches the acceptance of Allah before it falls into the ground (i.e., at the moment of intention). Therefore, find contentment in your act of sacrifice.
To the Faithful and Mujahid Nation of Afghanistan and all Muslims Around the World!
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
First of all, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all of you on the occasion of the auspicious Eid-ul Adha. May Allah Almighty accept your sacrifices, charitable acts, pilgrimages, and all virtuous deeds.
As these days of worship and sacrifice come upon us while we are blessed with a Sharia-based system and comprehensive peace, therefore, we must all express our gratitude to Allah Almighty, so that we may be deemed worthy of further divine blessings.
Praise be to Allah Almighty, with the advent of the Islamic Emirate, Sharia system has been established across Afghanistan. The sacred Islamic Sharia is being enforced, and significant measures have been taken to elevate religious practices and to expand and strengthen religious centers. These achievements represent the goals and values for which our devout people have long struggled and made immense sacrifices.
In our homeland, Islamic brotherhood and unity have been reinforced. Public assets, such as mines, land, forests, and other properties, are safeguarded as part of the public treasury.
Under the governance of the Islamic Emirate, the Sharia rights of all citizens are ensured and protected. No individual can commit injustice or aggression against others; oppression is prevented, and the rights of the oppressed are upheld.
Through the functioning of Sharia courts, the sacred Sharia is being implemented, and the great duty of enjoining good and forbidding evil is being practically fulfilled. In this regard, actions are taken in accordance with Sharia principles to achieve societal reform.
With the help and grace of Allah Almighty, significant steps have been taken, and continue to be taken, in various sectors such as reconstruction, agriculture, irrigation, road construction, and mineral extraction, and these are all as a result of the Islamic Emirate’s wisdom, clear policies, sincerity, and transparency, ultimately fostering significant progress and a promising future for all.
The Islamic Emirate calls upon all investors and traders to invest in various sectors for further economic development and to alleviate the economic difficulties faced by our people.
The Islamic Emirate is committed to ensuring the security and upholding the rights of investors and is dedicated to creating the necessary facilities for them to promote Afghanistan’s prosperity and economic development. All Emirate institutions are mandated to create environment conducive and to address and fulfill the needs of investors in this regard.
The Islamic Emirate is firmly dedicated to securing the rights and providing assistance to orphans, widows, the disabled, and the impoverished. We also call upon affluent Afghans to remember the underprivileged and orphans and to give full attention to their care and support.
Significant measures have been taken to address begging, with thousands of identified needy individuals receiving assistance from the Islamic Emirate.
The Islamic Emirate seeks to establish political and economic relations within the framework of Sharia, particularly with Islamic countries, and has fulfilled its obligations in this regard.
I advise the officials of the Islamic Emirate to diligently fulfill their responsibilities in serving the people, ensuring security, and enhancing their well-being. They should keep the doors open to the public, execute their duties efficiently and promptly, and never treat the people in a manner that makes them feel alienated from the authorities.
I instruct the security officials to pay special attention to the well-being, service, and safety of the people, especially during the days of Eid. All necessary measures should be taken to ensure their happiness and peace. They should also visit the families of martyrs, the disabled, and orphans, providing assistance to the best of their ability.
Esteemed Citizens!
It is our shared responsibility to protect, nurture, and serve our Sharia-based system. This system has been established through the sacrifices of our martyrs and the immense efforts of our Mujahideen and Muslim nation. Let us stand united and committed to its preservation, working together in solidarity to thwart the schemes and conspiracies of our enemies, and valuing the security, prosperity, development, and Sharia governance we enjoy. It is incumbent upon us to foster an environment conducive to progress and prosperity, thereby ensuring the well-being of all constituents.
Praise be to Allah Almighty, this year, up to thirty thousand pilgrims from Afghanistan have traveled to Saudi Arabia to perform the great duty of Hajj. The Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs of Afghanistan, along with other relevant institutions, are providing them with comprehensive care and necessary facilities. I urge pilgrims from around the world gathered at the Holy Mosques (Mecca and Medina) to pray for the entire Islamic Ummah, especially the oppressed Muslims of Palestine and our suffering people, so that Allah Almighty grants them success and honor in this world and the hereafter.
In recent weeks, Afghanistan has faced severe challenges due to floods, rains, and other disasters, resulting in significant losses and hardships for our people. We extend our deepest condolences to all Afghans affected by these tragedies and pray for the martyrs to be granted the highest ranks in Paradise, the wounded to recover swiftly, and for patience and rewards to be bestowed upon the families of the victims.
We commend all the institutions, ministries, and Mujahedeen of the Islamic Emirate for their unwavering efforts in rescuing and serving our people to the best of their abilities during these difficult times. We also implore upon the business community, the affluent, and the general public to contribute towards alleviating the suffering and pain of their fellow Afghans with their resources, and to not withhold any form of financial and moral support.
The relevant government institutions, and Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate have been assisting forcibly repatriated refugees from neighboring countries in areas such as identification, transportation, health, and more, as well as plan to distribute land to them is underway. I call upon traders, the wealthy, and all Afghans to support these refugees within their means and not to withhold any assistance from them.
During the auspicious occasion of Eid-ul Adha, please visit the homeless families and include them in the joy of Eid.
We strongly condemn the Israeli Zionist attacks and oppression on women, children, and innocent Muslims in Gaza and other regions of Palestine. We call on other countries to fulfill their obligations effectively to prevent these heinous crimes and brutal atrocities.
In conclusion, I once again extend my heartfelt congratulations on the arrival of Eid-ul Adha. May Allah Almighty grant us the joy of celebrating future Eids in complete independence, peace, and under the shadow of an Islamic system, and may our Islamic principles flourish in an environment of stability and contentment.

الحمد لله نحمده ونستعينه ونستغفره ونتوب إليه ونعوذ بالله من شرور أنفسنا ومن سيئات أعمالنا من يهده الله فلا مضل له ومن يضلل فلا هادي له وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله. أما بعد:فقد قال الله تعالي: قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّى (۱۴) وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّى (۱۵) سورة الأعلی
To the Faithful and Mujahid Nation of Afghanistan and All the Muslims Around the World!
I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations on the arrival of the auspicious Eid-ul Fitr, may Allah Almighty accept your fasting, worship, prayers and sacrifices.
Dear Brothers!
First of all, we should thank Allah Almighty for bestowing upon us the Islamic Sharia system, through which life is guided by righteousness and sacred principles. By the grace of Allah, the month of Ramadan passed in a peaceful atmosphere, we will perform the Eid-ul Fitr prayer, and we will spend these auspicious days with joy and in a peaceful environment.
For every blessing for which gratitude is expressed, Allah Almighty increases it, if someone is ungrateful for the blessings, then Allah Almighty warns of the possibility of punishment, as ingratitude holds dire consequences, therefore, I urge my Muslim brothers that we should not overlook expressing gratitude to Allah Almighty, and let us all strive to be grateful servants of Allah.
Allah Almighty has granted us the Islamic Sharia System, peace, brotherhood and unity, all of these are blessings from which we were deprived of for decades, now, that Allah has reminded us these blessings, it is incumbent upon us to express gratitude, to acknowledge them, to support them, to reform them accordingly, and to strive for goodness.
Scholars bear a great responsibility to guide all people and officials of the Islamic Emirate to the worship of Allah, they must keep them reformed, provide good counsel, offer advice, encourage goodness, and continuously invite them to worship.
It is the responsibility of mosque imams (scholars) to constantly guide their followers, their children and community towards improving and nurturing of their beliefs, actions and morals. They should remain vigilant every day, unceasingly work towards reform, especially amidst contemporary tribulations.
Enforcement of Islamic Sharia
In Islam, the sacred pillar of Jihad in the path of Allah is a crucial means to implement Islamic Sharia Law. Additionally, safeguarding the sacrifices made by Mujahedeen and ensuring the protection of the community are fundamental goals. Various strategies were employed to achieve these objectives, including ensuring justice, implementing Sharia -based legal boundaries and punishments, and ensuring adherence to the principles of Sharia. Furthermore, it is imperative to resist oppression and defend the oppressed.
In line with Sharia law, the Ministry of Vice and Virtue carries out its duty to enforce the promotion of good deeds, prevention of evil, and handling complaints against wrongdoing, the councils of scholars in the provinces are a means of implementing Sharia rules, providing good counsel, fostering unity among scholars, and strengthening trust between the Islamic Emirate and the Afghan nation, furthermore, officials are also obligated to obey and the establishment of such councils at the district and village level is underway.
It is the responsibility of every Muslim to adhere the courts and be satisfied with their judgements, as well as to implement the directives and recommendations of the functionaries of the ministry of vice and virtue and extend necessary cooperation in carrying out the duties properly.
Education
For the religious and modern education of the new generation, the Ministry of Education has broad structures in all provinces and districts and it has operationalized hundreds of religious and scientific centers. In addition, orphanages are also established in various provinces and a number of districts aimed at providing daily care, education and sponsorship for all orphans, which are being managed by an independent administration.
It is the responsibility of every Muslim to provide good upbringing, education, and opportunities for their children, so that they should attain religious knowledge.
Security
Over the past decades, Afghanistan has faced numerous challenges in terms of insecurity, lawlessness, and adversities. After many struggles and sacrifices, Allah Almighty has given us a great reward to ensure security throughout the country as well as, ensuring both visible security and internal peace.
Visible security refers to the safety and protection of lives, property, and dignity of the people within a society, and internal peace means freedom is preserved, and it is indeed a great blessing from Allah Almighty. Now, let us all strive and collaborate with security officials in every way possible, this is a responsibility upon all of us, mandated by Allah Almighty, to cooperate with each other for the betterment of society and to not engage in any actions that may cause harm to others.
Let us combat the mischief-makers, as you bear responsibility for ensuring security, if someone is causing harm unlawfully, it is the responsibility of every Muslim to refrain from supporting them. If you do not cooperate with security officials, you might be complicit in their wrongdoing. Pay attention to security in your city, village, and home, and provide full cooperation wherever needed.
Economy
In the Islamic system, it is a Sharia responsibility to improve the economy of the people, the Islamic Emirate strives to meet the needs of its people within the limits of possibility, encouraging the establishment of businesses and public welfare activities, in order to provide employment and economic opportunities.
In addition, do not sit still! Try to provide opportunities for work individually and collectively, establish new businesses, promote agri-business, create opportunities for industrial work, collaborate with the government, and strengthen the economy of the country, the Islamic Emirate will also create a conducive environment, enabling a fair ground for farmers, craftsmen, and factory owners to establish and grow their businesses, and as a result of joint efforts our economy will grow, have faith in Allah, and pursue all lawful means to earn your sustenance, avoid unlawful transactions, earn halal income, and do not be greedy for others!
Deal Within the Framework of Sharia
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, in line with Islamic principles, seeks good relations with others based on mutual respect and understanding, and urges everyone not to entertain any doubts regarding the good intentions and sincerity of the Islamic Emirate. Our commitment and dedication are firm, and we expect and demand respect for Afghanistan’s sovereignty, integrity, and dignity, ensuring that any disagreements are addressed through dialogue and with mutual respect.
In the realm of international relations among all countries, we aim to pursue a balanced and economically-focused policy in the light of the holy religion of Islam. We seek diplomatic and economic relations with all nations, ensuring that Afghanistan’s security, stability, and prosperity serve as a favorable opportunity for others, we urge international community to maintain good relations with the Islamic Emirate, and adopt strategies in the spirit of mutual benefits.
The ministry of foreign affairs of the Islamic Emirate is tasked to foster an atmosphere of confidence and peace among all, especially within the Islamic countries.
The Islamic Emirate’s foundation lies on the principles of Islam and the well-being of the Muslim community. We share common faith, beliefs, and convictions, binding us together. In times of joy and sorrow, we stand united, supporting each other with equal participation and collaboration, leveraging our abilities to the best of our capabilities.
Indeed, creating a common ground and resolving our shared challenges is essential. The Islamic Emirate aims to foster an environment conducive to achieving this goal.
Palestine
The issue of Palestine is indeed a concern for the entire Islamic Ummah. We stand in solidarity with the people of Gaza against Israeli aggression and occupation. It is incumbent upon the Islamic Ummah to address the plight of the oppressed Palestinians and to collectively condemn any form of injustice or aggression perpetrated by Israeli invaders. We must mobilize our resources and support Palestine in every possible way to alleviate their suffering and work towards a just resolution of the conflict.
It is regrettable that the international community often falls short in effectively addressing the injustices faced by the people of Palestine. Despite claims of upholding human rights, there is a lack of meaningful action to curb the ongoing oppression and to hold perpetrators of these injustices accountable. This is indeed a source of profound sorrow, and it underscores the urgent need for all responsible parties to fulfill their obligations in addressing this grievous situation.
Prohibition of Drug
The Islamic Emirate is committed to fulfilling its Islamic and Sharia obligations in the country by strictly enforcing the prohibition of narcotics and by taking effective measures to eradicate the cultivation, production, and trafficking of illicit use of drugs. The Islamic Emirate is determined to carry out this important task with firm resolve and decisiveness, seeking support and cooperation from its own communities, emphasizing the need for a drug-free Afghanistan.
Furthermore, in Kabul and provinces, efforts are underway to rehabilitate drug addicts and ensure their safe return to society. The Islamic Emirate takes this responsibility seriously and recognizes the pain and suffering caused by addiction to both individuals and families.
The people of Afghanistan are obligated to cooperate with the Mujahedeen in the implementation of the decree, tackling this issue.
To the Mujahedeen and Officials of the Islamic Emirate
I issue the following instructions and ask everyone to follow them, I also ask you to share them with your subordinates, so that we can serve and treat our nation properly and give them their Sharia rights:
Assist the Needy
I urge the wealthy and affluent people of Afghanistan to remember the poor and needy Afghans during these auspicious days, extend your cooperation and utilize all your resources to support and assist the less fortunate among our fellow citizens.
At the end, I once again congratulate you for the arrival of Eid-ul Fitr, may Allah protect you from all kinds of harm and disaster, and may you be successful by the grace of Allah.
