Message from Mullah Umar to the Muslim Ummah
From Muhammad Umar Mujahid to his Muslim brothers in all the extremities
of the earth:
http://www.qoqaz.org/ - Dec 7, 2001
Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu
O Muslims, know that Allah's tradition in the history of humankind is that
whenever Truth meets Falsehood in a decisive confrontation, He gives
victory to His soldiers and His friends. Allah (SWT) gave victory to His
Messenger, Musa (AS) and his oppressed people over the tyrant Firoun. He
helped the Messenger, Muhammad (SAWS) over the disbelievers of Quraish, in
the Battle of Badr and the Battle of Ahzab (Battle of the Ditch). He
helped the sincere Muslims with the leadership of Muzaffar Qutz over the
rebellious Mongols in the Battle of Ain-Jalut. And here we are today in
our decisive confrontation with all the powers of the World, who have
gathered together all their disbelieving and hypocrite allies. We are
living testing days that will conclude with a clear victory for Islam and
its people insha-Allah.
Indeed we announce to the whole World that insha-Allah we will never
surrender nor soften, but we will stand firm with Allah's Permission until
one of two good things come to pass: either victory or martyrdom. So
rejoice O People of Islam and know that the shimmers of victory have
appeared on the horizon and that the help and victory from the Strong and
Great One comes when one thinks that all has been lost.
So O Muslims, do not abandon us with your duas and your wealth.
"And Allah always enforces His Will whereas most of the people do not know
this. [Quran *:*]
"If Allah helps you, none can overcome you and if He abandons you, who
then will help you after Him?" [Quran *:*]
And Peace and Blessings be upon the best of creation, Muhammad bin
Abdullah, the Commander of the Mujahideen and upon all his family and
companions.
The Servant to Islam and the Muslims, Muhammad Umar Mujahid
Monday 03 December 2001CE/ 18 Ramadan 1422AH
DUAS FOR LAST TEN DAYS OF RAMADAN
As the end of Ramadan approaches, the Muslim Ummah is aware of what is
befalling their fellow brothers and sisters in Afghanistan, Palestine,
Chechnya and Kashmir. They are urged to stand up during the night every
night and especially the odd nights and beseech Allah to give victories to
the Mujahideen in these blessed days. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran
"Supplicate to me and I will answer you." To make it easy, a sample dua
they can recite is given below:
O Allah the Most Powerful, give victory to the Mujahideen in Afghanistan!
And cleanse their land of the Americans and their allies!
O Allah show us in America the wonders of your Ability!
O Allah shake the earth from beneath their feet!
O Allah make their plans lead to their destruction O Lord of the Worlds!
O Allah show us in them a black day!
O Allah, make our hearts rejoice with a swift victory so that the Eid will
really be an Eid for the Muslims with their joy at Allah's victory to
their brothers and the destruction of the Crusaders!
O Allah, hasten your victory and help to our Mujahideen brothers and make
their feet firm and help them over their enemies!
O Allah do not judge us by our sins for indeed we seek forgiveness in you
and turn to you in repentance!
O Allah there is no might nor power except Yours!
O Allah help your servants and rout the Coalition
O Allah accept our duas O Answerer of Duas because WHO is there besides
You that we can make dua to?
And Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds and Peace and Blessings be upon
His Messenger, Muhammad (SAWS) and all his family and Companions.
Ameen
SEVERE CLASHES BETWEEN TALIBAN AND US COMMANDOS, DOZENS OF AMERICAN TROOPS KILLED AND SERIOUSLY INJURED
KANDAHAR (Islam News): US Commandos and the anti-Taliban leader, Commander
Hamid Karzai's militia made a joint attack over Taliban at Sha Wali Kot in
the North of Kandahar. The Taliban not only withstood this attack, but
also repelled the U.S infantry and Hamid Karzai's militia. This was the
first face to face clash between the Taliban and the American troops aided
by the anti-Taliban Afghan forces which was successfully made useless by
the Taliban. Immediately following this, the Taliban made a massive
counter-attack on the US soldiers in which dozens of American troops and
anti-Taliban agents were shot dead and numerous were seriously injured.
Further to this, severe damage was also caused to their arms and
ammunition. The news of this unsuccessful U.S operation and their heavy
loss has created a wave of distress and panic in the U.S. Government and
in order to hide this news from the public, the Pentagon is now making
false propaganda that these US Commandos were killed because a B-52 US
bomber accidently missed its target. The military experts all around the
world have expressed their greatest amaze at this telecast by BBC,
considering it ridiculous and baseless that a computerised and lasered
bomb can miss its target 'accidently'(!) and still kill many dozens of
soldiers despite landing 100m away from its target.
ARAB GUERILLAS ATTACK GUL AGHA'S CAMP, DISGUISED AS AMERICAN COMMANDOS, KILLING 70
KANDAHAR (Islam News): The Arab Mujahideen carried out an extremely
well-planned and unique operation against the American agent Gul Agha.
They disguised themselves as American commandos and headed to Gul Agha's
troop positions in the North East of Kandahar, driving captured American
jeeps adorned by captured US flags. They told the excited crowd that they
had come to distribute dollars amongst them so the troops gathered in a
single place. Soon after receiving the signal, a fleet of ten jeeps loaded
with Arab Mujahideen appeared and they started their attack, killing at
least 70 of the troops and seriously injuring dozens of them. The
victorious Mujahideen managed to escape safely from the scene after
causing serious damage to Gul Agha's troops.
US HELICOPTERS ESCAPE AFTER THROWING OFF 20 DEAD BODIES FROM THE AIRCRAFT
QUETTA (Islam News): US helicopters flew away throwing off 20 dead bodies
at a small town, Torkhah, in Surkhab Province. These bodies were of Gul
Agha's men and three of them have been identified. Gul Agha's troops now
hold the Americans in great contempt for this inhuman act towards them.
The American troops regard the dead bodies of their own men with all the
due respect and show disrespect and contempt for the bodies of those who
help the U.S by fighting against Taliban, even though hundreds of them
have been killed on the front lines by Taliban troops.
GUL AGHA'S FOLLOWERS REVOLT AGAINST HIM. "TALIBAN ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH, WE WILL NO MORE BE WITH GUL AGHA"
CHAMAN (Islam News): Gul Agha's men have started to revolt against him and
have accepted that the Taliban are on the right path. Hayat Hameed Zai
(25) confessed that he was paid ten thousand rupees to fight against
Taliban at Takhta Pul. On the first night of an operation, a colleague,
Habibullah Hameed Zai shot dead three Arabs dead on the orders of Gul Agha
and one Arab was arrested. This man was given a rifle as reward from Gul
Agha. The following morning, when Hayat Hameed Zai saw the bodies of these
Arabs, he noticed that their faces were dazzling radiantly and he didn't
take long to realise that these men are the martyrs and that the Taliban
are on the right path. With this thought, he left Gul Agha's militia and
joined the Taliban.
Another man leaving Gul Agha's troops, Sardar, reported that the followers
of Gul Agha neither fast the month of Ramadan nor do they let others fast
in this holy month. He further said that he had been turned out of the
militia, being declared as a spy of Mulla Umar and a traitor to their
unit, just because he wanted to fast.
HAMID KARZAI HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IN A SPECIAL GUERILLA OPERATION BY TALIBAN
KANDAHAR (Islam News): In the North of Kandahar, Sha Wali Kot district of
Southern Afghanistan, one of the very well known anti-Taliban leaders,
Hamid Karzai, has been seriously injured along with some US soldiers, in a
well planned operation by Taliban guerillas which was originally aimed
against the US commandos.
According to the details, Hamid Karzai was busy in some special meeting
with some US soldiers, when they were attacked by the Mujahideen. The
Mujahideen managed to escape without any damage. The news about his injury
has also been confirmed by Pentagon though they claimed he was injured in
the same B-52 bomb attack that several dozen US soldiers were killed in
despite this bombing dropping several kilometres from Hamid Karzai. It is
unbelievable that ordinary Americans still trust the news given out by
their Government after all this.Alliance withdraws from Kandahar airport
http://www.dawn.com/2001/12/05/top2.htm
QUETTA, Dec 4: Anti-taliban forces withdrew from Kandahar airport on Tuesday
on the advice of the United States, whose warplanes were pounding Taliban
positions within the complex.
The anti-Taliban forces claimed to have taken half of the airport on the
outskirts of Kandahar city on Monday night, but then encountered fierce
resistance from the militia.
"We pulled our boys out on the advice of the Americans as they were bombing
Taliban who were so close to us," the source, who is close to former
Kandahar governor Gul Agha, said. "Their bombing could have injured our
fighters."
The troops retreated to Uruzgan bridge, about two kilometres from the
airport, the source added. Another source had earlier said that the bid to
take the airport had been stalled after heavy fighting on Monday and the
anti-Taliban forces had decided to cement their existing positions.
Ahmad Karzai, the brother of anti-Taliban tribal elder Hamid Karzai, claimed
that his forces had captured Shah Wali Kot, 15 kilometres north of Kandahar
city.
He said Karzai's forces were now 25 kilometres north of Kandahar. "We are
very close to Kandahar. Soon we will be able to advance from the north and
Gul Agha's people will advance from the east," he said.
A spokesman for the US-led coalition, Kenton Keith, described the situation
around Kandahar as extremely unpredictable and confusing. "To say that it is
fluid is to perhaps give too great a sense of cohesion. The situation is
changing as we speak," he said at a press conference in Islamabad.
"For the moment it would be misleading to say that we have a real handle on
the situation around Kandahar."
REFUGEES' MISERY: Up to 3,000 refugees from the US bombing of Afghanistan
remain trapped in no-man's land between the Afghan-Pakistan border without
food and shelter, UN officials and refugees said on Tuesday.
The refugees have been flocking to the area outside the United Nations
refugee agency (UNHCR) registration camp Kili Faizo, near the Chaman border
crossing, but restrictions on registration numbers mean many are kept
outside in miserable conditions.
While the buildup is largely caused by an exodus from the increasingly
bomb-ravaged Kandahar, according to the UNHCR, some refugees have made their
way from provinces hundreds of kilometres away, enduring harrowing journeys.
Juma Khan, who had arrived from the western province of Badghis, said his
family were hungry and felt helpless. "We have been waiting here for the
past several days. We have no food or shelter and there is no one to take up
our problems," he said.
UNHCR spokesman Kris Janowski said there was concern over the refugees in
no-man's land as temperatures dropped overnight. "At night the temperature
drops below zero. It is very, very difficult for them," he said.
On Monday the UNHCR said it had only been able to register 50 families while
another 600 remained stranded.
Many of the refugees in recent days have come from refugee camps in the
Afghan border town of Spin Boldak, where there have been reports of looting
of aid agencies' warehouses.
The UNHCR has said there appears to be a state of lawlessness in Spin
Boldak.
Earlier, the Tribal fighters said on Tuesday they had edged closer to the
Taliban's last bastion of Kandahar amid heavy US air strikes.
US bombers kept up relentless air strikes around Kandahar and struck at
targets in eastern Afghanistan, where Osama bin Laden is suspected of being
holed up in a mountain lair, the Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) said.
Ahmad Karzai, brother and spokesman for Pakkhtoon royalist Hamid Karzai,
said his brother's Popalzai tribal fighters had captured the district of
Shahwali Kot on Monday night, meeting little resistance.
"I just talked to them and they captured Shahwali Kot district last night,
they are now in control of areas including Arghandab," Karzai told Reuters.
Arghandab is about 20 km northwest of Kandahar.
The Taliban denied Shahwali Kot had fallen.
The Pakistan-based AIP quoted Taliban sources as saying the assault had been
repelled, with dozens of tribal fighters wounded and two captured, along
with six vehicles. There was no independent account of the fighting.
Karzai said there had been heavy clashes between Pakhtoon tribesmen loyal to
former Kandahar Mujahideen governor Gul Agha Sherzai and Osma's mainly Arab
fighters at Kandahar airport. "There was very heavy fighting last night. Gul
Agha's men tried to enter the airport itself, but they could not," he
said.-Taliban Kill 93 US Commandos and Capture Six
"Severe damage has been done to the Americans but the media keeps it in the
dark," says Taliban Interior Minister
QUETTA (Islam News): The Interior Minister of Afghanistan says that it is
absolutely ridiculous and baseless that the Americans, resting in a desert,
220 miles away from Kandahar claim to have captured the city of Kandahar.
Similarly, the Pashtun claim to have captured Kadahar is based on false
reports. He further said that the local and the international media reveal
only one side of the picture, but the truth is that heavy damage has been
done to the Americans in Afghanistan. In recent operations, Taliban troops
killed 93 Americans and captured six. Dozens of soldiers were killed in and
around Takhta Pul. Furthermore, an Amercian helicopter was also destroyed in
this battle, but the media continues to keep such news in the dark. The
Minister informed about World about the wellbeing of the Kandahar Taliban
Corps Commander, Mulla Akhtar Uthmani and Taliban Air Force Commander,
Akhtar Mansoor. According to him, the Taliban have total control over Spin
Boldak and the news about the retreat of the (local) Taliban commander in
Spin Boldak is incorrect.
Dalbandin and Jacobabad Stink Due to the Smell of Rotting American and
British Troops
JACOBABAD (KPI): There has been a marked shortage of chemicals in Jacobabad
and Dalbandin, which serve to preserve the dead bodies of the American and
British soldiers reaching these two cities. As a result of this, the
atmosphere around the airbases in these towns is giving off a foul stench
due to the rotting of these corpses. According to the latest news from the
information office at Swat, the British and Americans are very much
disturbed because they do not want to send these bodies to their countries,
thus creating panic and uncertainty in their people. Therefore they are
trying all possible means to preserve these bodies, but obviously all these
means will prove to be shortlived. It has also been reported that numerous
coffins have been sent to these areas. On the one hand, the Americans are
making every possible effort not to disclose the deaths of their soldiers in
Afghanistan, while on the other hand their families are busy preparing for
the celebrations of Christmas back home.
"Jihad Will Continue Even if Usama is Martyred" Al-Qaeda
KUWAIT (Al-Watan): Al-Qaeda has once again expressed its firm determination
that the Jihad will not come to a stop, not even if Usama Bin Laden is
martyred. Another Usama will appear to impart the teachings of Jihad and the
rebirth of Usama will continue each time the former Usama is martyred.
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, Al-Qaeda spokesman, said in an interview to Kuwaiti
newspaper, Al-Watan, that he condemned the Government of Kuwait for the
cancellation of his citizenship. He further expressed his firm determination
for striving for the noble cause of Jihad in future, for the sake of Allah
and Islam. Earlier, Al-Qabaas News (Kuwait) issued a news report about
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith being injured or martyred by the American attacks, but
Al-Watan News (Kuwait) confirmed his wellbeing from the Taliban.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW OF 'DAILY ISLAM' WITH TALIBAN COMMANDER IN KUNDUZ, MULLAH DADULLAH
KANDAHAR: Mullah Dadullah, the senior guerrilla commander of the Taliban
arrived in Kandahar from Kunduz last week. He is a warrior of great courage,
firm determination and par excellence. He is believed to be the biggest
threat and enemy to the Northern Alliance who declared him as one of their
most wanted men. His narrow escape from the clutches of the Northern
Alliance in Kunduz is an amazing miracle in itself and indeed a blessing of
Allah.
DAILY ISLAM: Don't you think the retreat of the Taliban has increased the
morale of the Americans?
MULLAH DADULLAH: No, this is not the case. The Americans are very well aware
of the courage and determination of the Taliban fighters, and with the
strength with which they all withstood the American attacks over Mazar-i-
Sharif for a whole month. We heard a Northern Alliance commander say to
another on the wireless radio that an American said to him that ever since
they have started their war against the Taliban, they have realised how
courageous and brave these people (Taliban) are, and if they continue to
fight with the same valour, we will never be able to win the war against
them.
DAILY ISLAM: Weren't you a part of the treaty between the Taliban under the
leadership of Mullah Fazal and the Northern Alliance (to vacate Kunduz)?
MULLAH DADULLAH: To tell you the truth, I do not trust the Northern Alliance
at all. To avoid any disputes, I told Mullah Fazal that may Allah reward you
for your pure intentions, grant me the permission to fight the enemies of
Allah. In case of survival, I'll be a warrior (Mujahid), otherwise a martyr,
and indeed martyrdom is my intense desire. The aim of Mullah Fazal was to
defend and safeguard the fellow troops because he has great fondness and
love for the Mujahideen. I pray to Allah to spare him and his colleagues
from the seizure by the enemy so that he rises once again against the
enemies of Islam.
DAILY ISLAM: What do you say about the battles in and around Mazar-i-
Sharif?
MULLAH DADULLAH: We have fought many fierce battles at Mazar-i-Sharif and
most of these battles were historical. In the recent days I had only 500
guerrillas (Mujahideen) and 400 amongst them got martyred. In addition to
this, 300 of the Mujahideen who were with Mullah Naafiz's platoon got
Shaheed. Inspite all of this, we continued to fight with the same spirit and
valour, and the fact is that the tree of Islam cannot be nourished and
flourished EXCEPT with the blood of the martyrs.
DAILY ISLAM: Why did the Taliban retreat from Mazar-i-Sharif? Was it due to
heavy bombardment and fierce attacks?
MULLAH DADULLAH: No, this wasn't the reason. The reason was that some of the
local commanders came under pressure of US threats and they sold themselves
in exchange of few dollars. Therefore in these circumstances we didn't have
any option other than leaving Mazar-i-Sharif. Ameer-ul-Mumineen ordered us
to leave the North, but we made some decisions ourselves due to which our
brothers were made captives. Had we acted on the orders of Mullah Umar, this
wouldn't have been the case.
DAILY ISLAM: How is Mullah Umar and the rest of the leaders?
MULLAH DADULLAH:I met Mulla Umar and the others upon my arrival in Kandahar
and it gave me a lot of pleasure and contentment of heart. I gave a detailed
account of the conditions in Kunduz and Mazar-i-Sharif to Ameer-ul-
Mumineen. We have had some important discussions with some senior ministers
about the guerrilla war against the Americans.
The great Taliban commander concluded the meeting by saying that a Muslim's
life is incomplete without Jihad and that we have been blessed with the
opportunity to fight in the Path of Allah.
Dec 8, 2001. Ameer, Markaz Ad Dawa wal Irshad, Prof. Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, has said that the puppet government being set up in Afghanistan under the Bonn accord would be the weakest ever and the so called champions of world peace engaged in this task would not achieve anything.
He said that the rulers in the Muslim world had acted as hypocrites by selling off their Afghan brothers for paltry gains. He said that if Musharraf had taken a bold stand at this hour and talked to President Bush in the manner he had talked to Vajpayee at Agra, he would have been the leader of the Muslim world now.
He said that the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon had been carried out by the US agencies themselves to put the blame on the Mujahideen and to find an excuse for a war against Jihad.
He was addressing the Friday congregational prayers held at the Mochi gate park in the heart of the Punjab metropolis, a huge crowd offered the congregational prayers at the park. .
Hafiz Saeed said that the Taliban, who had staged a strategic retreat, would fight a prolonged guerilla war and ultimately return to power on a day which would mark the glory of Islam. He called upon the Muslim Ummah to rise to the occasion and prepare itself for its due role in the holy war.
He advised the Muslim masses not to lose heart by the propaganda of the powerful western media which was giving an impression that the Taliban had been crushed and the war was over. He said that the Taliban had taken a wise decision in accordance with the Afghan tradition by withdrawing in the face of highly adverse situation only to start a lengthy guerilla war. Time will prove that the Taliban had taken a correct decision. He said that the interim government taking shape with the blessing of the US could not function in the tribal society of Afghanistan. Differences had already cropped up between various Afghan groups on the formation of the interim set up.
Prof. Hafiz Muhammad Saeed said the situation in Afghanistan has undergone the sudden and unexpected developments on the Afghan front should not disappoint the Muslim masses. He recalled that in the early Islamic history, the Muslims had faced a similar situation in the battle of Uhad when the Noble Prophet himself sustained serious injuries and seventy of the Companions were martyred. He said it was also the Sunnah of Allah Almighty to test the Faithful in Jihad. Jihad was also essential to draw a distinction between the Momineen and the hypocrites.
The Markaz Al Dawa chief said it was highly painful that the rulers of all Muslim states including Pakistan opted to support the US, thus facilitating the forces of Kufr in eliminating the Taliban.
He said that the Pakistan government’s decision to provide logistic support and information to the US to protect its nuclear program and other vital interests carried no weight as nothing in this country was now safe after the control of the US and its allies on Pakistan s land bases, air and sea. He said if such a thing had taken place during a civil government, there could have been an excuse. But unfortunately, all this had happened during a military rule, under the army generals who had taken oath to protect national honour, integrity and solidarity. He said that now the US was providing deadly weapons and latest aircrafts to India while Islamabad was being fed only by rosy promises.
Hafiz Muhammad Saeed appealed for a total unity of the Ummah in the wake of the threats from the enemy. He said the unity of the forces of Kufr witnessed at this hour was something unprecedented and the Muslims would have to join hands to meet the challenge. He said that Afghanistan has become the centre of Jihad and the Muslims all over the world must unite for Jehad against the enemy forces.
The chief of the Markaz Al Dawa said he had no doubt that the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Centre and the pentagon had been planned and executed by the Americans themselves to achieve their nefarious designs. He referred to the assassination of the US President. John F.Kennedy, He said that according to a highly revealing book by an American professor, the CIA itself had planned the assassination of President Kennedy after he refused to approve a CIA scheme to kill some two thousand Americans for finding an excuse to attack Cuba.
If the US President can be killed on the US soil for the furtherance of CIA s designs, and the CIA can kill the US envoy
in Pakistan to remove Gen. Ziaul Haq from the scene, why should it be impossible for them to launch such attacks to find an excuse for blaming the Mujahideen, he asked.
He said the Americans and their allies had found it convenient to label Jihad as terrorism and the Mujahideen as Terrorists. In the eyes of the West, the Muslims struggling for their independence and other basic rights in any part of the world were terrorists while Israelis killing the Palestinians, the Indian army killing the innocent kashmiris, were peacemakers. He said he had already thrown them a challenge on this issue as he could prove under the US laws that the American government was involved in terrorism or protection of terrorists.
Slating the threatening statements issued by the Interior Minister and the extension of the detention of prominent leaders. Hafiz Muhammad Saeed said the Mujahideen would not be cowed down by such threats and detentions. No one can stop Jihad, religious Madaris and the public donations for Jihad and Madaris. These statements were being issued from Washington and not Islamabad, he said,
He advised the rulers to change their Afghan policy and fear Allah instead of fearing America failing which they would be facing more disastrous consequences.
