Al-Furqan Media Foundation has released a speech from the Commander of the Faithful of the Islamic State of Iraq, Sheikh Abu Omar al-Hussaini al-Qurashi al-Baghdadi, may Allah protect him, titled "Say I Am On Clear Proof From My Lord", a reference from the Quran Surah 6 Verse 57.
Sheikh Al-Baghdadi: "Say I Am On Clear Proof From My Lord"
In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
All praise is due to Allah, from whom we thank, ask help and forgiveness, we seek refuge in Allah from the evil within ourselves and from our ill deeds. Whoever is guided by Allah can not be led astray, and whoever goes astray cannot be guided. I testify there is no God but Allah and no partner has He. And I bear witness that Muhammad, is His slave and messenger.
Allah the Almighty says:
"Truly, Allah defends those who believe. Verily! Allah likes not any treacherous ingrate to Allah (those who disobey Allah but obey Shaitan)" Quran 22:38
And says:
"And there is no victory except from Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise" Quran 3:126
Allah is the greatest... Allah is the greatest... Allah is the greatest...,
"Help from Allah (against your enemies) and a near victory" Quran 61:13
O bold courageous Mujahid in the idols jails...
Lift your head and laugh from the deep of your heart, because you have Brothers who do not accept injustice for you; they pledged to Allah, to bring you back to their ranks (Army), by Allah's Might, from the beginning to the end.
Yesterday your Brothers cried Takbir over the Abu Ghraib prison walls, and they released more than 60 prisoners and they did the same in "Combating terrorism" prison, then the apostates' jails in al-Amel district police station, then Shahraban police directorate in Diyala province. And today, by the grace of Allah, the State of Islam soldiers broke into one of the idols dens and one of their fortified stronghold, in an operation which was, by the enemy's confession, an "extremely quick and precise" operation.
Your Brothers diverted the enemy in more than one location; this distraction to the enemy's power was helpful to the Brothers who stopped roads and disrupted electricity and communication systems and then in less than 15 minutes, they were in the jail opening the doors for their Brothers from the emigrants (Mujahideen from outside Iraq) and supporters (Mujahideen from Iraq). More than 220 Mujahideen were released by the Might of Allah. The enemy confessed only 140 freed and that is true because they have mentioned only the supporters from Iraq, while the rest were from the migrants to Allah in the Land of Two Rivers. Allah is the greatest... Allah is the greatest... Allah is the greatest...
And while we are in this glory, fighting the enemy and holding patiently ourselves and our Brothers in the face of an unprecedented Crusader- Safawids campaign since the occupation began, asking support from everyone to gather into the ranks and unite under the sword, we are surprised by the vicious multi-pronged media onslaught against the young Islamic state. This has brought sorrow to all the faithful due to its precise and coordinated effort and its various means and the cooperation between its leaders despite their different inclinations. It is obvious that this was planned in a pitch black bleak night, and as stated in a study for Brox institution in cooperation with Rand research organization published before that the last satanic campaign over State of Islam is under the banner of fighting al-Qaeda.
If we want to know who is behind this campaign we should know who is the beneficiary, so let us ask the questions: How would there be Jihad in the Land of Two Rivers if there was no "Mujahideen Shura Council" or the State of Islam? And how will things will go if the State of Islam's soldiers laid down their weapons and stopped the Jihad?
The answer is known... The honor will be violated; the crops and the cattle will be exterminated. And if you don't believe it, I ask any fighting group that claims the perfect method, the pure banner and the might in front of enemies, to publish three filmed military operations for breaking into American headquarters or even one filmed operation for breaking into just a one American military barracks.
So what are the goals of this recent media onslaught against the State of Islam?
Firstly, to disengage the strong cohesion between the State of Islam and its wide spread popularity. Secondly, to try to create conflict between the State of Islam and other Jihad groups. Thirdly, to exclude the global Jihad trend from the battlefield in the interest of national trends which are more palatable and more moderate to distort its worldwide image. Fourthly and lastly, to eliminate the Jihad in the Land of Two Rivers and to make the Muslim lose hope for its new nation.
This is in light of the collapse that strikes the foundations of al-Maliki's government vigorously and after a grave declaration by elite team of American officers that "The US has only six months to win the war in Iraq, or it will face a Vietnam-style collapse". This was confirmed by the war criminal Cheney, who suddenly turned into a chicken giving a defeatist speech where he said "The target now is to go home with honor". This is in conjunction with the democratic majority in the US Congress that declared "The security plan should give its fruitage in the middle of this summer, or they will quickly withdraw the troops within the end of this year".
This precise period of time has made the enemy and its agents race to prepare Iraq for a new leadership that will be more moderate and less dangerous than the State of Islam, especially considering the Americans will inevitably go through a military campaign against Iran for many reasons. While this is not the time to mention them, settling Iraq and ending the catastrophic situation here is a must, especially in the Sunni provinces, even if it was by the interest of a moderate Islamic group or even fundamental one if it can be handled via a mediator. This is the reason why the Al-Sulul, the Saudis, are in a hurry to build and fortify the "Saudi Hezbollah" under a different title with the blessing of Sultan scholars (scholars whom work for their leaders' sake not Allah's sake) especially those who were well known in their hostility against the Islamic movement so that the oil money had flooded to them, by the so-called Muhammad bin Nayef (Chief of Saudi intelligence) and by the traitors of the religion so they started a three dimensional war against the State of Islam.
First, drying up the sources of money via a long term campaign of lies and false accusations, which sadly were believed by many of the faithful, and they had forgotten that Allah's apostle, peace be upon him, said: "My beloved is the shade of my spear" and said: "Good will remain (as a permanent quality) in the foreheads of horses till the Day of Resurrection".
Second, drying up the sources of "men" and cutting relations between the sincere believers and the State of Islam especially after the failure of all their Fatwas to repulse the Muslim Mujahid youth from sacrificing their money and souls for sake of Allah. So they plotted with Mossad and the CIA agent Yousri Fouda (reporter in Al-Jazeera) and cooperated together to detect and unveil the paths of entry of the emigrant fighters and martyrdom seekers, Despite the fact that those good people, who accompanied them and facilitated their affairs have stated more than once that they do not receive emigrants, then what pushed them to take this risk? Exposing this way and putting it under spotlight? And this wicked Yousri Fouda admitted that he gave the information to a country's intelligence.
Third, entering into a triple headed dagger, its posts are:
a) A group of beneficiary apostates, blood traders and Jihad fruit stealers such as Saad Zaghlul, Ben Bella and Ali Janah. To those we say: "The time is gone for stealing the fruits of Jihad and trading the organs of war victims and martyrs bloods". The Prophet, peace be upon him, said "The believer does not allow being stung twice from one (and the same) hole".
b) A group of alleged Salafis, who sit at home not fighting and not letting others fight because of their cowardliness; their goal is to insult the Mujahideen and expose their faults.
c) A group of the envious was pushed by the rush of many of their members and battalions to pledge alliance with the State of Islam. Mankind is created to desire to be the highest, so it does not like anything to be above it. The prophet, peace be upon him, said "Three things, no one can escape from are suspicion, augur evil and envy".
Ibn al-Qaiyem (a Muslim scholar) who faced severe insults because of envy said: "Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal was a group (by himself) and people could not bear that fact because of envy, so they went to the Caliphate and said "Is it logical that you and your counselors and rulers are all on the false path and Ahmad alone is on the truth?" The Caliphate could not bear this fact so he ordered him to be jailed and tortured. "La Illaha Ilalah, it happens today as it was yesterday"
And we say as Ibn al-Qaiyem said: "La Illaha Ilalah, it happens today as it was yesterday"
And we remind you with Allah's saying:
"Allah already knows those among you who keep back (men) from fighting in Allah's Cause, and those who say to their brethren "Come here towards us" while they (themselves) come not to the battle except a little, Being miserly towards you (as regards help and aid in Allah's Cause). Then when fear comes, you will see them looking to you, their eyes revolving like (those of) one over whom hovers death; but when the fear departs, they will smite you with sharp tongues, miserly towards (spending anything in any) good (and only covetous of booty and wealth). Such have not believed. Therefore Allah makes their deeds fruitless and that is ever easy for Allah" Quran 33:18-19
They repulsed people from Jihad in the sake of Allah because of what was in their hearts of rancor and envy towards truthful believers, and fear and alarm that took off their hearts. They also invited their tribes to rest and comfort, even if it meant taking infidels as friends, and opposing Allah, his messenger and the believers, and they put their hands in the hands of Arab idols begging their help for religious people, with sweet tongues claiming that all they wanted was the occupiers out. People have thrown us many lies which don't have any bases in our belief. They have claimed that we consider the public as unbelievers, sparing their blood and money and force people to join our state by sword. So here our values will answer those lies so that the liar has no excuse and to eliminate suspicion.
1. We consider destroying and removing all signs of idolism and forbidding it compulsory. It was narrated by Imam Muslim in his Sahih that "Abu al-Hayyaj al-Asadi told that Ali Ibn Abi Taleb has said to me that should I not send you on the same mission as Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) sent me: Do not leave an image without obliterating it or a high grave without leveling it."
2. The Rawafid (Shiites) are idolaters and a renegade party, and they also abstain from a lot of Islam tenants.
3. We consider the conjurer an unbeliever and renegade and that killing him is compulsory, without accepting his repentance in this life after capturing him. Omar ibn al-Khattab said: "The conjurer's limit (punishment) is a sword hit (death)"
4. We do not accuse a Muslim of unbelief because of sins like adultery; drinking wine and stealing unless he makes it halal. Our position in belief is the middle road between the extremes of Khawarij (a group of Kuffar) and the neglect of the Murjea. The one who recites the Shahadah and practices Islam without denying anything of Islam will be treated as we treat the Muslims and his inner self will be left to Allah. Unbelief is of two types, great and small and judging who commits it is based on believing, saying or acting. Saying someone is Kaffar (unbeliever) or saying that he will stay in Hell forever is based on proving the conditions of Kuffar and the inability to prove anything else.
5. It is compulsory to seek Allah's judgment in disputes by pleading to religious courts and searching for them in the case of not knowing where they are because seeking the idols judgment which it comes from secular and tribal laws makes one's Islam invalid.
Allah said:
"And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are the Kafirûn (unbelievers) of a lesser degree as they do not act on Allah's Laws " Quran 5:44
6. Respecting the Prophet, peace be upon him, is compulsory and forfeiting his presence is haram as is attacking his honorable position, or his pure family position or even his respected companions from the four rightly-guided Caliph's or other companions that makes one a unbeliever and a renegade.
Allah (SWT) said:
"Verily, We have sent you (O Muhammad peace be upon him) as a witness, as a bearer of glad tidings, and as a Warner. In order that you (O mankind) may believe in Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him), and that you assist and honor him (peace be upon him), and (that you) glorify (Allah's) praises morning and afternoon" Quran 48:8-9
And He said of the Prophet's companions:
"Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah. And those who are with him are severe against unbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and falling down prostrate (in prayer), seeking Bounty from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. The mark of them (of their Faith) is on their faces (foreheads) from the traces of prostration (during prayers). This is their description in the Taurat (Torah). But their description in the Injeel (Gospel) is like a (sown) seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, and then becomes thick and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers, that He may enrage the unbelievers with them. Allah has promised those among them who believe (all those who follow Islamic Monotheism, the religion of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, till the Day of Resurrection) and do righteous good deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward (Paradise)" Quran 48:29
7. We believe that secularism despite the differences in its flags and parties, such as: Nationalism, Communism and Baathism are all clear disbelief in opposition to Islam and he who practices it is not a Muslim. Based on this, we consider everyone who participated in the political process (i.e. al-Mutlak party, Dalimi party, al-Hashimi party and others) a unbeliever because this process changes Allah's religion and let Allah's enemies (the cross worshipper's, the Rawafid and other apostates) control the Muslims.
Allah said of those who changed something of His religion to please idolaters:
"And certainly, the Shaytan (devils) do inspire their friends (from mankind) to dispute with you, and if you obey them (by making Al-Maitah (a dead animal) legal by eating it), then you would indeed be Mushrikûn (polytheists)" Quran 6:121
We also consider the Islamic party methods those of disbelief and the methods of renegades because these methods do not differ from the rest of methods of the unbelievers (i.e. al-Jafari's and Allawi's parties). Based on this, we consider their leaders as unbelievers; there is no difference for us between a participant in the government and a branch (of the Islamic party) leader however we do not consider its members as unbelievers, as long as the legitimate confutation was not clarified to them.
8. We consider anyone who helps the occupation and its supporters in any kind of help (clothes, food, medicine, etc) that assists it and strengthens it to be unbelievers and renegades and by doing so he becomes rightful target for us.
9. We consider Jihad in the sake of Allah as compulsory on everyone since the fall of Andalusia to free Muslims' land with every good or bad doer. And that the largest sin after disbelief in Allah is the prohibition of Jihad in the sake of Allah when it is compulsory. Ibn Hazm said: "And there is no greater sin after disbelieving than the prohibition of Jihad against unbelievers and giving them the Muslims' women. Because of the lewdness of a Muslim man, others should not be held accountable for his acts".
10. We believe that countries ruled by Kufr and where Islam rules come second that these countries are Kufr countries. This does not mean that their people are Kuffar. And because the rulers that control all Muslim land today are idol's rulers, we consider the presidents of those countries and their armies as unbelievers and renegades and fighting them is even more compulsory than fighting the cross worshipper's occupation. So be warned that we will fight any invasion troops entering the State of Islam in Iraq, even if they have Arabic or Islamic names. And we advise them not to be a scapegoat for the occupiers, as it has been suggested, to solve the cross worshipper's problem in Iraq.
11. We consider fighting police, the so-called army of the idol state, the renegades and anything that comes from it (i.e. petroleum security) and demolishing any building the idol uses as a camp compulsory.
12. We consider the parties of the People of the Book as Sabians in the State of Islam today, as people of war with no honor because they have broken their oath in various ways. If they want to be safe and secure then they have to renew their oath with the State of Islam according to Omar's treaty that they have refused.
13. We consider the members of other Jihadi groups in Iraq as our Brothers and we don't accuse them of unbelief or immorality, but they are disobedient because they didn't do today's duty that is working under one flag.
14. We are not committed to any agreement done with the occupation, and we consider them null and void. We warn the occupation from doing any agreement secretly or in public without the State of Islam permission.
15. We consider respecting truthful scholars who do what they say as compulsory, and we defend them and put ourselves before them to protect them. And we also expose those who follow idols or compromise with the occupiers on anything in Allah's religion.
16. We know to those who preceded us in Jihad and their rights; we respect them and protect their families and their money.
17. We consider freeing Muslims' prisoners and women from unbelievers either by invasion or ransom compulsory. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said "Free the prisoner" and also we consider helping their families and the families if the martyrs compulsory because the Prophet, peace be upon him, said "He who prepared a Mujahid is a Mujahid, and he who helped his family is a Mujahid."
18. We consider that for the Muslim nation learning Islam is compulsory even if it means losing some of this life's fortune, and we consider procuring any science that is needed by Muslim nation as compulsory and anything else that is religiously neutral as long as it does not exceed limits of our religion.
19. We consider anything that promotes abomination (i.e. satellite) as forbidden. And we consider women covering their faces, being pure and virtuous, compulsory.
Allah said:
"Verily, those who like that (the crime of) illegal sexual intercourse should be propagated among those who believe, they will have a painful torment in this world and in the Hereafter. And Allah knows and you know not" Quran 24:19
Allahu Akbar!
"Honor, power and glory belong to Allah, to his messenger, and to the believers, but the hypocrites know not."
