New statement from Ḥarakat al-Shabāb al-Mujāhidīn: “And God Knows The Corrupter From The Amender”

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

The title of this release is in reference to Qur’anic verse 2:220. Here it is in full: “To this world and the Hereafter. And they ask you about orphans. Say, ‘Improvement for them is best. And if you mix your affairs with theirs – they are your brothers. And God knows the corrupter from the amender. And if God had willed, He could have put you in difficulty. Indeed, God is Exalted in Might and Wise.'”
