Zil Hajj 07, 1433 A.H, Wednesday, October 24, 2012
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.
Praise be to Allah, the Sustainer of the Worlds and peace be on the leader of the two dominions, the noblest of the apostles, the Leader of Mujahideen, our prophet, Mohammad, the Chosen one (peace be upon him) and on his offspring and all his companions. Having said that, I would like to further say: I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the rejected one.
“Those who disbelieve, spend their wealth to debar others from the path of Allah. They will continue to spend it till it will become a cause of regret for them and in the end, they will be overcome. And those who disbelieve shall be gathered in Hell. Holy Quran (8:36)
When Jesus son of Mary said: “Children of Israel! Verily, I am the Messenger of Allah to you, confirming that (which came) before me and giving good news of an apostle that will come after me whose name shall be Ahmad.” Holy Quran 61:6
I extend my felicitation to all Muslim people of Afghanistan, to the gallant Mujahideen who are now arrayed against the invasion, to the families of the martyrs, to the disabled and the esteemed pilgrims in every part of the world, on this occasion of Eid-ul-Odha, a great day of selflessness, sacrifice and joy.
I pray to the Almighty Allah to bless the Islamic Ummah to spend these days of the Eid of Sacrifice, in joy, serenity and a feeling of euphoria. Similarly, I congratulate, the honor-loving and high-spirited Mujahideen brothers on the unprecedented military victories of the current year. May Allah, the Almighty give us and you (further) steadfastness and persistence and salvage our oppressed people from this unlawful invasion. Surely, the moments (of victory) are close at hand now rather than any other time else.
Mujahideen brothers!
You are in the scene witnessing that the ranks of Jihad do strengthen, experiencing expansion in every part of the country because of the close support of ( our) brave people with the Mujahideen and their sacrifices . Massive aggressive and Jihadic tactical attacks are carried out against the grand bases of the invaders. The (enemy) evacuate military bases and barracks in awe of Mujahideen. Some conscious daring Muslims from among the ranks of the regime installed by the invaders, launch decisive attacks against the cunning invading enemy. Those Afghans who have been deceived are now turning to the peaceful lap of the Islamic Emirate in groups as a result of the efforts underway by the Call and Guidance Commission. Other self-same developments and transformations are some of the achievements that we and you should, as an obligation, have to thank Allah (swt) for having them bestowed on us.
We ask the Almighty Allah with deep humbleness to grace us with further ability to achieve our goals, to remain committed to the aspirations of our Jihad, neither become arrogant ( to gloat) nor become heedless about the goals and sacred path of Jihad. We should seek the pleasure of Allah in the conduct of all affairs and make it our resolution to obey our superiors, to implement the bye-law of Jihad, and to work for the establishment of the Islamic system, the comfort and prosperity of our people, our nation of which you and we are a part and parcel, has gone through hardships, sufferings and oppression in the past over thirty years They deserve it as an obligation on us to behave with them with tolerance and good manners. It is because of the sacrifices, selflessness and daring feats of this very nation that you and we become able in keeping up the battle against such an arrogant power for eleven years triumphantly and face the enemy with defeat at all fronts.
You and we should feel the pain of the nation and share its grief. We should realize that complete victory and quashing of the enemy become possible only through the help of the Almighty Allah and the bilateral cooperation of our people. The superiors and subordinates of the Islamic Emirate should try to cement their unity, coherence and intimacy, avoid internal differences, conduct the affairs of Jihad with mutual sympathy and consultation, work out good plans for the quashing of the enemy and implement them; provide facilities for the common people, save them from the atrocities and brutalities of the invaders and the Arbakis, pay full attention to the prevention of civilian casualties.
The enemy has tried and is trying to blame the Mujahideen for the civilian casualties. Increase your efforts to expand the area of infiltration in the ranks of the enemy and to bring about better order and array in the work. This tactic will achieve more fruitful results, if God willing. Focus on honing behavior and raising level of knowledge of the Mujahideen. Explain to them all essential injunctions and ethics of Jihad, and pay attention to their education, vastness of insight and moral upbringing. Give a hand of help to the orphans, the disabled and the prisoners. This should remain inculcated in your mind that every action contrary to the religious requirements, and being based on sheer emotions bring in only wicked consequences.
We call on the Afghans who still stand with the stooge regime to turn to full-fledged cooperation with their Mujahid people like courageous persons in order to protect national interests and to complete independence of the country. Jihadic activities inside the circle of the State militias are the most effective stratagem. Its dimension will see further expansion, organization and efficiency if God willing.
I urge every brave Afghan in the ranks of the foreign forces and their Afghan hirelings who may find an opportunity to utilize this opportunity effectively and quash the enemies of Islam and country in their centers and use all possible means, opportunities and tactics to strike them. This is because Jihad is an obligation enjoined on every one. It is the duty of every individual of the nation from religious perspective and on the basis of his conscious to strive for the liberation and independence of his country.
The (local) chiefs of Mujahideen are instructed to submit (the names of) those heroes who have performed such exploits to the leadership for further recognition and acknowledgement of their daring actions.
As to the future political destiny of the country, I would like to repeat that we are neither thinking of monopolizing power nor intend to spark off domestic war but only try that the future political fate of the country must be determined by the Afghans themselves without any interference from big countries and neighbors, and it must be Islamic and Afghan in form.
After the independence of the country, we should have a Sharia-based national regime with the help of Allah, the Almighty, which will bring about a sole central authority and be free from every kind of discrimination and biases. Jobs will be given on merits; territorial integrity of the country will be protected. Security will be maintained, Sharia laws will be implemented, we will guarantee rights of both male and female of the country, build economic structures and strengthen social foundations and facilities of education for all people of the country in the light of the Islamic rules and national interests, conduct all academic and cultural affairs efficiently and will, with the help of the brave nation, foil the effort of those who harbor the notion of disintegrating Afghanistan and intend to flare up domestic war to achieve their goals. They should not think that the Afghan people are so simple-mined that they would break off their deep ideological, cultural, social and historical bonds among the fraternal ethnicities. The former Soviet Union pursued the same recipe of disintegration but the result was contrary to their efforts and they themselves became entrapped in their ploy.
We want to have good relations with all those who respect Afghanistan as an independent Islamic country and their relations and approaches are not domineering and colonialist. This is what every independent and Muslim Afghan wants.
About (efforts) to reach understanding with the foreigners, I would like to say that we would continue political endeavors along with military struggle in order to obtain our Islamic and national goals and aspirations. For this purpose, we have an entity in the shape of political office to conduct the political struggle. They interact with the foreigners in view of our Islamic, Jihadic and national interests. I should say that we have no other conduit to reach an understanding with the other side except through the Political Office, because we do not play politics on this issue covertly nor we can tolerate (others) to play this. We have framed our policy to reach the understanding on the bases of religious and national values and then we have publicly announced it. If the intelligence agencies and diplomatic circles of the invading countries want to create spurious channels of negotiation and fake faces (imposters) and then make them larger-than-life figures and channels through the media, it will be nothing more than a waste of time and duping their own people.
Since independence is the right of every one, so we urge the world, the international community, particularly, the Islamic countries and the Islamic conference to help us on the basis of their (moral) responsibility in ending the occupation of our Islamic country and obtaining its independence. Similarly, they should carry out their responsibility on the basis of human sympathy in releasing our prisoners who have been passing days and nights of miserableness in Guantanamo, Bagram, other prisons and in the prisons of the neighboring countries, particularly, the human rights organizations should feel their responsibility to find out about the human rights violations

New statement from the Amīr of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Mullā Muḥmmad 'Umar: "Message of Felicitation on the Occasion of ‘Īd al-Fiṭr"
English:
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate
Those who turn (for friendship) to Allah, His Apostle and the believers (must know) that Allah’s followers are sure to triumph. (S.5 v:56)
We praise Allah and seek His help and refuge from the evils of our inner-self and wickedness of our own deeds. Whomever, is guided by Allah, none can lead (him/her) astray; whoever goes astray, can find none except Allah (for guidance). We bear witness that there is no god but Allah. Alone is He and no partner He has. We also bear witness that Mohammad (peace be upon him) is His servant and Messenger.
Having said that, I would like to proceed further:
I seek refuge in Allah, from Satan, the rejected one.
I extend my (heartfelt) felicitation on this occasion of Eid-ul-fitre to the Mujahid nation of Afghanistan and to all the IslamicUmmah, on their worship of fasting (during Ramadan) and the Jihadic achievements. May Allah (swt) accept in His Sight, your (worship of) fasting, the offering of charities and unprecedented services and sacrifices in the cause of Truth. I hope, that the Almighty Allah, may have enabled you to observe all acts of rituals of this season of blessing and worship. May Allah, the Almighty give success, in this world and in the world to come, to all Mujahideen who are sacrificing their lives, those who continued to remain at their strongholds engaged despite the hunger and thirst in the month of Ramadan.
May Allah, the Almighty procure conducive situation for the release of those brothers of ours who are now in captivity of the enemies. May Allah (swt) bestow on the holy and sacred martyrs of the path of Truth, high ranks in the paradise of Firdaus, a swift recovery to the injured and somber patience, reward, joy and prosperity to those valiants who have lost members of their families. In these holy days of Eid-ul-fitre, I would like to share with you my views about some vital matters, in addition to the felicitation on this occasion:
The Jihadic Momentum:
1. The Jihadic activities robustly forge a head, with array at its best order and by utilizing the latest tactics. This great achievement has been possible only thanks to the help of Allah, the Almighty, the assistance of the Muslim people; unity and the comprehensive cooperation and sacrifices of the heroic Mujahid nation of Afghanistan.
2. The unique distinction of this year’s operations Al-Farouq, is that, that it has reached all areas, whether being situated near or far-flung. The losses of Mujahideen have decreased while the losses and frustrations of the enemy have increased in parallel. The enemy is not able to take a breath of relief in the main cities, rural areas and even in their barricaded garrisons. Mujahideen have taken initiatives of the war in their own hands. The enemy has been forced to adopt a defensive position in every area, even they have retreated from many military centers. This is what the enemy have admitted itself from time to time.
3. Mujahideen have cleverly infiltrated in the ranks of the enemy according to the plan given to them last year. Many conscious Afghans in the rank and files of the enemy have shown willingness to help the Mujahideen in a shrewd and astute manner after having come around to know the reality. As a result, the foreign invaders and their allies in their military centers and bases do come under crushing blows of these heroic soldiers. We appreciate these brave and historical heroes and the entire nation pays them great tributes. We expect others to display the same boldness and spirit. Thanks to the infiltration of the Mujahideen, they are able to (safely) enter bases, offices and intelligence centers of the enemy. Then, they easily carry out decisive and coordinated attacks, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy both in life and equipment. Furthermore, a great number of soldiers join the ranks of Mujahideen, carrying their heavy and light weapons and ammunition, after leaving the ranks of the enemy. The Mujahideen honor them and provide them protection. In the recent days, you and we were witness of such frequent incidents.
4. The colonialists are facing a wide-spread economic crisis and popular opposition because of the Afghanistan war. Even their own soldiers express resentments against their wrong policies. A case in point is the demonstration in front of the premises of the Chicago conference, which had been staged by those soldiers who had served in Afghanistan. Similarly, resentments and opposition (to the war) have spiraled up at world’s level. The trend is still on the rise. As a result, (some of) the colonialists have been forced to pull their troops out of Afghanistan one after another. This is but an (obvious) achievement and triumph of our sacred Jihad.
5. The invaders not only have faced defeat in political, economical and military fronts but, at the moral front too, the public of the world have come around that the invaders do not know any human values. They have no warfare ethics; violate human rights and honor; they commit blasphemy against holy things; desecrate the corpses of the martyrs; perpetrate morally offensive acts against children and adolescents; raid houses at night and brutally kill women, old men and children similar to the gruesome incidents of Zangawat and Sajawand. They bombard villages, houses, cities, mosques, religious seminaries, schools, processions of funeral services and ceremonies of felicities. This is in a time that the invaders brazenly speak of human rights and humanity.
6. It is a matter of pleasure for all Muslims, particularly, for the Mujahideen that they wage Jihad like brothers in a single array and under a single flag and command in all areas, extending from Badakhshan to Helmand, and from Nangarhar to Herat. In this lies the great secret of triumph. This is a cause of shock and jittery for the enemy.
Conspiracies of the Enemy
7. During the past eleven years, the enemy tried its best to mobilize the Afghans in its favor by dent of its media. Praise be to Allah, they have failed (in their goal). This is because of the existing ground realities that the people and all the world can see. Thereby, their wicked conspiracies were foiled and the so- called independent media outfits which are, in fact, affiliated with their espionage agencies, have been exposed. Their exaggerated hypes and propaganda ultimately harmed their own reputation. Now they have no credibility in the eyes of the people. The public of the world look at their every report to be no more than a mere rumor, propaganda or a conspiracy against the Mujahideen. The people know that these media outlets hide the losses of those who provide them funds and portray the losses of Mujahideen several times more than what they are and are tight-lipped about the Mujahideen’s victories.
8. The enemy tried to flare up chaos among the people through their cunning intelligence networks by capitalizing on the perversity and ignorance of a few young men. They wanted to face people with the same chaotic situation that gripped them in the 90s, following the ouster of the communist government. Praise be to Allah, this wicked conspiracy has failed while being at its earlier stages. Seeing their abhorrent activities, the people became more closer to the Mujahideen and more watchful about the covert conspiracies of the enemy.
9. The so-called process of transition of authority to the Kabul powerless Administration is another deceiving drama launched by the invaders. By doing so, they want to hide their defeat and mislead the (Afghan) people and the public of the world, ostensibly, claiming that they trust the Afghans and want to devolve to the Afghans the future of their country, both civilian and militarily. Our stance about this cunning process is that, that it is a mere a failed effort like other deviating processes of the invaders, aimed at misleading and confounding the public. All those areas where the process has taken place, are de facto, in the hands of the enemy both from an angle of security, military and administration. They hold the authority to launch night raids and carry out all other brutal attacks despite their commitments in the contrary.
The Strategic Agreement, Military Bases and Fruitless Conferences
10. The game which has been launched under the name of strategic agreement to sell Afghanistan or is still continuing is not acceptable to the heroic people of Afghanistan. The inking of such documents with a powerless regime installed by them has no legal standing.
11. The independence of Afghanistan and establishment of Sharia system are values that the Islamic Emirate is not going to deal on it. The Afghan people will wage Jihad against the foreign invasion until complete independence of the country, though the invasion may ensconce itself in the garb of peace-keeping forces or strategic cooperation.
12. Commitments of billions of dollars are made with the Kabul corrupt Administration in conference being held under the name of assistance. All these commitments are made by the bidding of the foreign invaders in order to keep the sagging and ill regime of Kabul alive, though moribund. The funding countries and nations must know that these assistances do not reach the Afghan people to mitigate their pains but ultimately find way to the private pockets and bank accounts of the rulers of the Kabul corrupt, collapsing and ill regime which only panders to the interests of the foreigners—rulers who are involved in moral and administrative corruption.

English:
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.

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. والسلامخادم الإسلام أمیر المؤمنین

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
New statement from the Amīr of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Mullā Muḥmmad 'Umar (Mullah Mohammad Omar): "Message Of Felicitation on the Occasion of 'Īd al-Fiṭr"
NOTE: Here is Mullā Muḥmmad ‘Umar’s (Mullah Mohammad Omar) statement on ‘Īd al-Fiṭr last year.
—
English:
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 (SwT).
Praise be to Allah Who did help His Servant (the Holy Prophet); honored His Army, Defeated the Confederation single-handedly; peace be on the Prophet after whom there is no prophet (to be advented). Having said this, I would like to proceed as under:
,I extend my (heart-felt) felicitation to the Afghan Mujahid people and to all Islamic Ummah on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitre and, meanwhile, I congratulate you all for the continuous victories in Afghanistan. May Allah (swt) accept in His Sight your fasting, Jihad and your sufferings in the cause of the Truth.
Availing myself of this opportunity, I want to share with you my views as regards some vital matters as follows:
Regarding the Current Situation of Jihad:
The enemies of Islam and Afghanistan had envisioned that the current year would be crucial for defeat of Mujahideen and for obtainment of the wicked goal of the enemy. Even they had raised hopes and expectations in their people and the world about a fundamental change in the status quo. Praise be to Allah, all their plans transpired to prove contrary to their calculations and assessments. The enemy sustained more casualties in soul and equipments this year in comparison with last years. With the passage of each day, the Mujahideen become better familiar with the enemy tactics; they are gaining access to hardware which is instrumental in causing greater losses to the enemy. All people are now witness to the tremendous life casualties of the enemy as well as the downing of their aircrafts. Furthermore, the growing cooperation of people; the infiltration of Mujahideen in the ranks and files of the enemy, the expansion of the area of Jihad to every part of the country; the growing escalation in daily operations and availability of accumulated tactics; the extermination of high level officials of the enemy both in north and south of the country, all these give us a good news of an imminent victory and a bright future.
If we compare the achievements of the current year’s operations which are christened as Badre with those of the previous years; if we ponder over the constant defeats and unprecedented moribund position of the enemy, we can reach a clear picture that points to the high morale of Mujahideen and an all-sided descent of the enemy.
At world level, the status quo is not pro-America as it once was in the past. The American economy is facing terrible problems more than before. People of NATO member countries are coming round to know realities of the war of Afghanistan with the passage of each day. A strong stance of opposition to this meaningless war takes roots in the minds of the public. The participant countries in the invading coalition withdraw their forces ( from Afghanistan) one after another. The regional countries and people have fed up with the gunboat policy of America. In brief, this situation indicates to the victory of our sacred Jihad.
Regarding the Withdrawal of Limited Contingents of American Forces from Afghanistan:
First of all, I would like to say that limited withdrawal of the invading forces can in, no way, solve the issue of Afghanistan. The Jihad will continue unabatedly, because superficial measures further complicate the issue of Afghanistan and can produce harmful consequences. The invading forces should seek a lasting and convincing solution to the issue by immediately withdrawing their forces.
Regarding American Permanent Bases in Afghanistan:
The Afghan nation is not ready to accept establishment of American permanent bases here. The Afghans consider military presence of the invaders whether it is in a greater size or a smaller, as a foreign occupation. If the Americans persist to display arrogance in this regard and do not pay attention to the demands of the Jihadic resistance and the people of Afghanistan, they would face the same aftermath as they are facing now following the decade-long occupation of Afghanistan that even they can’t feel consolation and respite in Kabul despite expenditure of billions of dollars and casualties of thousands of troops.
All people, particularly, the academic, political and influential figures of the country, should reach a common national stance in understanding with the Islamic Emirate against the establishment of bases of the invaders. Thus, they should prove to the Americans that all the nation have, in unison, opposing views about the permanent bases of foreigners in our country. Participation in the process of support for the establishment of the permanent bases, whether it is taking place under the name of Jirga or parliament, would only separate traitors from those committed to the religion and land.
Regarding the Future of the Country:
Our manifesto is that Afghanistan should have a real Islamic regime which is acceptable to all people of the country. All ethnicities will have participation in the regime and portfolios will be dispensed on the basis of merits; will maintain good relations with regional and world countries on the basis of mutual respect, Islamic and national interests. Such dispensation will entirely focus on conduits to recover the spiritual and material losses that have been caused by the three decades-long war. Since Afghanistan has vast arable land, rich mines and high potential of energy resources, therefore, we can make investments in these sectors in conditions of peace and stability and wrangle ourselves from the tentacles of poverty, unemployment, backwardness and ignorance, which give rise to other social and economic problems. Contrary to the propaganda launched by the enemies, the policy of the Islamic Emirate is not aimed at monopolizing power. Since Afghanistan is the joint homeland of all Afghans, so all Afghans have right to perform their responsibility in the field of protection and running of the country. The future transformations and developments would not resemble the developments following the collapse of communism, when every thing of the country was plundered and the State Apparatus damaged entirely. Contrarily, strict measures will be taken to safeguard all national installations, government departments and the advancements that have been occurred in private sector. Professional cadres and national business men will be further encouraged, without any discrimination, to serve their religion and country.
Regarding Negotiation:
The Islamic Emirate considers the presence of the foreign invading troops in the country; their blind-bombardment, night raids, their brutalities; tortures and tyranny as the main cause of the current imbroglio in the country. The issue would come to an end when the said brutalities are meted out. Similarly, IE considers establishment of an independent Islamic regime as a conducive mechanism for sustainability of religious and worldly interests of the country and the countrymen. For this purpose, every legitimate option can be considered in order to reach this goal. The contacts which have been made with some parties for the release of prisoners can’t be called as a comprehensive negotiation for the solution of the current imbroglio of the country. However, the Islamic Emirate, as an efficient political and military entity, has a specific and independent agenda in this regard which has been elucidated time and again.
Regarding the Coming Bonne Conference:
This conference will not be different from the conference held ten years ago because neither true representatives of the Afghan people have participation in it, nor attention is paid to a comprehensive and real solution of the problems of Afghanistan. Like the previous conferences and Jirgas, this conference is superficial and hypes- oriented. They want to distract the attention of the public of the world from the real solution of the Afghan issue for some time. Only those speeches and addresses are expected here which are already approved by the White House and Pentagon.
We advise all global actors involved in the issue of Afghanistan to seek a real and pragmatic solution of the Afghan issue instead of focusing on factitious and superficial solutions. They should realize the ground realities of Afghanistan; The Afghans have a splendid tradition for the solution of problems and understanding among themselves. But it is in a condition when foreign intervention does not exist. Considering it its legitimate right, the Islamic Emirate wages a lawful struggle for the defense of its religion, country and soil. The only reason for that being the presence of foreign invaders in the land. If the global invading coalition ends occupation of our land, the Islamic Emirate, as a peace-loving and responsible regime, will maintain positive relations with countries of the region and the world.
We advise all countries including the neighbors not to become part of any colonialist game concerning the future of Afghanistan, because it will serve no one’s interests. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, as heir of two million Afghan martyrs, is determined to make independent decisions concerning the future of Afghanistan regardless of foreign intervention. Such decisions will be embodiment of the aspirations of the martyrs and our national and Islamic interests, dignity and honor of the Afghans.
We would like to make it clear to all sides that neither the Afghans accept imposed regimes nor
New statement from Zabīhullah Mujāhid of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Remarks Regarding the Baseless Claims about the Martyrdom of Amīr al-Muʼminīn [Mullā Muḥmmad 'Umar]"
Claims and rumors were spread this morning by the Kabul stooge regime’s intelligence directorate, other officials and some media outlets that the esteemed Amir ul Mumineen was Martyred in Pakistan. We strongly reject these false claims of the enemy and we confidently encourage our fellow countrymen, Mujahideen and
the rest of the Muslims not to believe these intelligence lies and false reports. All praise is due to Allah, the esteemed Amir ul Mumineen is alive and well and is leading the Mujahideen in all aspects while living safely with reliance on Allah and with the strong backing and support of his believing nation. The enemy, with these kinds of rumors is trying to halt the devastating waves of ‘Badar’ operation and is trying to create confusion amongst Mujahideen, countrymen and faithful Muslims. With these kinds of false claims, the enemy is trying to turn away the focus of Mujahideen from their Jihadic activities while at the same time trying to boost the morale of invading and its puppet internal forces but such futile attempts will never make them reach their miserly goals. They should realize that the struggle against them is from a proud nation with strong determination who will not be turned away from their goals with mere lies and false propaganda. Our nation is an intelligent nation, who is aware of the tricks and lies of the devious and cunning enemy. No one will be able to stand against or create obstacles in the way of this nation’s aspirations and goals. God willing.

New statement from Zabīhullah Mujāhid of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "About the Baseless Rumor of Illness of Amīr al-Mū'minīn, Mullā 'Umar Mujāhid"
Quoting the American State Department and a CIA-run private intelligence network, The Eclipse Group, an American daily, The Washington Post has published an unsubstantiated and baseless report, claiming that the esteemed Amir-ul-Momineen, Mullah Omar Mujahid had a heart attack and was treated in a hospital in Karachi. The afore-said intelligence network says, the source of its
information is a physician who saw Amir-ul-momineen after the operation. But the report does not mention the name of the physician. According to the network, the physician says that he was not present in the operation theatre but heard from other physicians that Mullah Omar was suffering from cardiac complications. Some Afghan and international media outlets circulated the rumors without first verifying and substantiating it.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan categorically refutes this baseless and fatuous claim and believes that circulation of this rumor, is part and parcel of the propaganda war launched by the enemy.
The esteemed Amir-ul-momineen (may Allah protect him) has never suffered from such disease, that would have required to rush him to a hospital. The enemy is circulating these rumors to cover up its own defeat at the military field and to distract the attention of the common man.
It is worth mentioning that the enemy has no proof in this regard nor has any reason to prove its case. The only proof that it relies on in the report, weakens the claim in itself. The physician mentioned in the report says that he has not seen such an incident personally but has heard ( the story) from other doctors. It is in itself a fabricated reason.
In view of the propaganda drive by the enemy, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan declares that this fatuous and baseless claim of the enemy will not have any negative impact on the resistance and operations of the Mujahideen against the invading forces.
All the people of Afghanistan know that the enemy has launched the propaganda campaign in order to cover up its defeat. It gives circulation to baseless rumors which often end up proving a failure and fatuous. In fact these baseless rumors only add to undermining the credibility of the enemy. Apart from that, no gain the enemy will have.

Message Of Felicitation from Mullā Muḥmmad ‘Umar, On The Occasion Of ‘Īd al 'Aḍḥā
NOTE: This message is from the Emir (leader) of the Afghan Ṭālibān, Mullā Muḥmmad ‘Umar (Mullah Mohammed Omar) and unedited below. Here was his ‘Īd al-Fiṭr statement.
–
Praise be to Allah. We praise Him and seek His help, forgiveness and guidance.
We seek His refuge from the whims of our inner-self and from our transgressions. Whoever Allah guides, no one can deviate( him/her); who ever goes astray, can find no one as a friend and guide (except Allah to guide him). We testify that there is no god but Allah. Alone is He and no partner He has. We also testify that Mohammad (peace be upon him) is His servant and messenger. Having said that, I would like to further say:
To the suffering Mujahid people of Afghanistan; to all believing ethnicities in all parts of the world; to all nearly and remotely- situated Muslims and to the Muslim Ummah: Peace, Mercy and Blessing of Allah be upon you all. My heart-felt felicitation to you on this great day of joy, selflessness and sacrifice. May Allah (swt) accept in His Sight the worship and offerings of all Muslims. Similarly, may Allah (swt) accept the pilgrimage of the pilgrims who are now visiting the Kabba Sharifa and the struggles and toils of the Mujahideen of the way of truth and of their supporters. May Allah (swt) bestow blessing, salvation and victory on the Ummah as a result of the endeavors of the Mujahideen.Ameen
Meanwhile, I would like to share with you some viewpoints concerning the current situation of the country and the world.
Regarding the Internal Developments of the Country:
The moments of defeat of the invaders have approached now due to the special victory and the sincere sacrifices of the Mujahideen. The enemy has been defeated at the battle field. Now they rely on media hypes and portray themselves as if making advancement but the ground realities are what you and we are witnessing. The enemy is retreating and facing siege in all parts of the country day in and day out. Their life casualties are spiraling up. It is because of this pressure that the enemy has resorted to spreading the misleading rumors of peace talks. Thus, they want to reduce the military pressure which is being exerted on them. But it was the enemy in the first place, who invaded our country, imposing the war on us, so the sole way for our salvation is the armed jihad in the way of Allah (swt). Our Mujahid people will never feel exhausted in the sacred path of Jihad, because it is a divine obligation and a great worship. Fatigue can have no way into it. It is a matter of pride that the Mujahideen and the people, like brothers, lay down their lives in the defense of their religion, honor and independence of their country. They do not give chance to the enemy to create split among them through propaganda and other covert machinations. The enemy wants to protect itself from the attacks of Mujahideen by creating local militia units and utilize them as a shield; we have paid special attention to this task and obtained spectacular achievements. Similarly, some internal and external enemies are now speaking of disintegration of the beloved country. They should know that the patriotic countrymen and the Islamic Emirate will never allow any one to put into practice their wicked plan.
Regarding the Puppet Kabul Regime:
The situation of the Afghan people and the beloved country is going from bad to worse during this reign of the surrogate Karzai regime. Hardships, starvations, poverty, homelessness, civilian casualties, various diseases, aberrations of the youth and cultural and social deviation in the name of democracy are touching its climax. A few hoarders in the high government slots have control over all items including the daily consumption items. This is being carried out under the title of the open market system. They are determiner of the prices. We witness this hard fact, that many miserable families of the country have been forced to resort to beggary. Corruption is at its epic. This is not what we say but the founders and masters of this regime admit that their puppet regime ranks 2nd at the index of the most corrupt regimes of the world. This is because the rulers of the regime have been installed by others and they are not interested in the future and prosperity of the country. They are only hankering after filling their pockets with money and fleecing the masses. Many of them have foreign nationality and do not consider Afghanistan as their own country.
The Americans are intending to keep in the country, a regime installed under the leadership of some westernized elements– a regime which is extremely bereft of any resolve and determination; a surrogate only relying on foreign aid. Thus the invaders want to prolong their presence in the region and extend their occupation. Every Afghan in this corrupt regime has obligation to desist from supporting the invaders because of the current ordeals and tribulations that the Afghan Muslim people are passing through. They should not help their enemies of faith to destroy their home. There is no moral and religious justification to work in a regime, being puppet and traitor to its people. If they are not able to join the ranks of Jihad, at least, they can desist from cooperating with them. Thus they would perform their patriotic and ideological obligation. They should take care, less they may not stand shameful before their people and history and Allah (swt) on the Day of Resurrection.
The number of those who have left the ranks of the enemy has increased following our previous call to do so. This is a commendable phenomenon. We have instructed all Mujadeen to favor them with special incentives and acclamations.
Regarding the Rumors of Peace Talks by the Americans:
The Islamic Emirate still holds its previous stand regarding the current issue of the country. Islamic Emirate believes that the solution of the issue lies in withdrawal of the foreign invading troops and establishment of a true Islamic and independent system in the country. The cunning enemy which has occupied our country, is trying, on the one hand, to expand its military operations on the basis of its double standard policy and, on the other hand, wants to throw dust into the eyes of the people by spreading the rumors of negotiation. Claims about negotiation, flexibility in the stance of the Islamic Emirate, are mere baseless propaganda. The enemy wants to cover up its failure in Afghanistan by wrongfully raising hollow hopes in the hearts of their respective people. The believing people of Afghanistan and the public of the world should not trust any news report or rumor about the stance of the Islamic Emirate disseminated by any one rather than the leadership of the Islamic Emirate or the designated spokesmen, because such new reports are spread by the intelligence agencies of the hostile countries. Then the media outlets affiliated with these espionage entities, irresponsibly publish them with great fanfare. The aim is to play down the defeat ( of the enemy) at the military field through media warfare. But these conspiracies will never prove effective against our brave people and mujahideen as these experiences have already been tested.
The former Jihadi leaders and influential based in Kabul should know that, as the invading Americans already used you against the Mujahideen in the framework of peace council, they will again use you for their illegitimate objectives besides the puppet regime of Kabul. We can’t figure out why you are unilaterally coopering with the invaders? Can the present regime reflect your objectives of former jihad? Was the aim behind your 14-years long Jihad to let the place of the Russians to be occupied by the Americans?
If you want to extricate yourself of this dilemma and lead a life like a proud Muslim Afghan, the only way of honor and dignity is the way of the sacred Jihad and independence of the country. Come and compensate for your mistakes of the previous years by honestly embarking on the path of struggle against the invaders. This does not mean that every one has to join the stronghold but every one should utilize his capability in support of the current resistance. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has comprehensive policy for the efficiency of the future government of Afghanistan; about true security, Islamic justice, education, economic progress, national unity and a foreign policy based on norms to protect itself from the harms of others and convince the world that the future Afghanistan will not harm them.
Regarding the Military Situation of the Country:
Our coming military programs will forge ahead on the basis of the climate of the country and the geographical locations as per the plans now at the disposal of the Mujahideen. The aim is to entangle the enemy in an exhausting war of attrition and wear it away like the former Soviet Union. This will force it face disintegration after dealing a crushing and decisive blow at it that it would not be able to hold itself thereafter. To achieve this, we have hammered out short term and long term plans. We are optimistic about the results of these plans. Our strategy is to increase our operations step by step and spread them to all parts of the country to compel the enemy to come out from their hideouts and then crush them through tactical raids. This experiment was effective in Marja, Kandahar and some other areas. Therefore, the
