A
Letter from the Afghan Lands To Shaykh Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdasi
20 August 2010
By Al-Ikhwah Al-Mujahidun
In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most
Merciful
All praises are due to Allah for the glory of His
manifestation and the greatness of His authority, and
may Allah's peace and prayers be upon the one who was
sent with mercy to all of the creation and with a
sword placed on the necks of the tyrants and
oppressors, and may Allah's peace and prayers be upon
his family and his companions, and those who follow
them in goodness, abundant salaams upon them all:
The Almighty said:
(
ا ال " إل % أحدا ) ون ) و
ل يخش 1 ه) و يخشون 4 ال 4 رسالت ) غون 9 يبل ) (لاذين
(It is the practice of those) who convey the
Message of Allah, and have reverent fear of Him, and
fear none but Allah alone.[Al-Ahzab 39]
And He said: (4
بالقسط % قامئا 4 و أولوا

لإ ) ل إله 1 ه" أن1 ال
) (شهد
Allah bears witness that, There is nothing
worthy of worship except Him alone, and so do His
angels, and those endued with knowledge, He maintains
His creation with justice. [Aal-e-Imran 18]
And the Exalted said: (1
العلماء 4
ه4 من ب عاد ) (إنما يخشى ال
Indeed, those who truly fear Allah, among His
Servants, are those who have knowledge [Fatir 28]
From the land of dignity and pride, from the
factory of men and the resting place of heroes, and
the passion in the hearts of the muwahhideen from the
east to the west of the world, from the land on which
the most violent waves of kufr and most aggressive
armies of oppression were broken on the rock of the
mujahideen, from the land whose earth embraced the
finest among the people of Islam and the carriers of
the deen from the muhajireen and ansar, from the land
of defiant Afghanistan, to that tall mountain among
the honest Ulama and the sincere du'aat, and the
shining planet in the sky of those who bear the
principles and the da'awaat, to the Shaykh whom Allah
utilized in revealing the true and pure creed, for he
was among those who removed the
distortions of the
extremists, and the false claims of the liars and the
misinterpretations of the ignorant, and returned back
to the illuminated path, in which no crookedness can
be seen, illuminated so that it's night is like it's
day, with the millat of Ibrahim, demolished the
affliction with his clear examinations, had the law of
the jungle undone, delighted the eye by refuting the
errors of the Murji'ah of the age, and corrected
mistakes and lapses with his masterpieces and stances.
His words and writings still greatly mold the minds of
many of the people of jihad where his words have taken
hold in their hearts, so those people would not bow to
the tempests of intrigue or perversion. This is to the
Shaykh, who speaks the truth, and we consider him thus
and do not place him above his Lord, Abu Muhammad al-Maqdasi,
may Allah keep him safe from the plots of Taghaat and
the cunning of their prejudice take care of him and
make him steadfast on this righteousness without rest
or weakness or neglect, ameen:
To you, our dear Shaykh and thundering 'Alim, we
send a blessed and warm greeting, a greeting of
respect and reverence, a greeting that is accompanied
by the highest meaning of love and friendship in
Allah, and a desire to be in your company and learn
from you. And it is the duty of the Ummah of Islam
generally, and its vanguard, the people of jihad, in
particular, to thank you, our good Shaykh, for your
support of the way of tawhid and jihad both in private
and in public, and this blessed da'wah burdens you
with much weight and exposes you to hardships on the
path of the purest of creation, the prophets and
messengers, so take the examples of those who preceded
you in bearing this great responsibility, and be the
first to protect it and speak of it, and harkens back
to the times of Islam’s glorious Ulama, like Abdullah
bin al-Mubarak, Ahmad bin Hanbal, Ibn Taymiyyah, al-Izz
bin Abdelsalaam, and many others who were not swayed
by what befell them on the path of Allah, and neither
relented nor stopped. So receive good tidings, our
dear Shaykh, for the fruits of your call have ripened,
and soon the clouds of the tawagheet will leave, and
the land will shine with the light of its Lord, and we
will step on the necks of the Arab and foreign
tawagheet with the hooves of our horses, bi'ithin
Allah.
For Allah’s attack has been launched from here in
Afghanistan, and it will not stop until the flags are
placed in Bait al-Maqdis by the power and strength of
Allah. We bring you good tidings that the kuffar have
been thwarted and have only gained death and killing
at the hands of the men of Allah and His fortunate
soldiers. It is only moments away before the great
titan of Islam launches and the Shari'ah of Allah
spreads throughout the earth, even if the kafiroon
despise this. But, every great birth must have a
painful period of labor, and times of hardship and
suffering and cleansing of men, and thinning of ranks,
so that if the messengers despair and think they were
treated as liars, then our support would come, and so
righteousness would rise, and evil would fall, and
history will record with pride and dignity the names
of those who rose up in the days when there few such
people who branded evil as infidelity at a time when
many people relied on the oppressors, and went against
the laws of the tawagheet at a time when most people
accepted them and worshipped them. So, we ask Allah to
keep you steadfast in this without deviating,
straying, retreating, or digressing, amen.
And so we salute you for this, and we know that the
people of falsehood have been angered, and they became
united and came to destroy you and the blessed call of
tawhid. And when they could not block the light of
your sun with their rotten sieve, they turned to
cursing the sun and its light, and they employed in
this matter every lowly character and butted heads in
the forums, so as to try to destroy the call of tawhid
by discrediting one of its symbols.
It is not possible for them to do this! It is
impossible for the sea to be sullied by a lot of dirty
people! And it is impossible for the sky to be harmed
by the howling of dogs and those who stir up dust! And
even if the people turned to brooms so as to bring
dust into the sky, the sky remains the sky, and you
would remain as we have known and as the people of
Islam have known in the east and the west of the
world: steadfast, without change, and not retreating,
a defiant dam in the face of the people who attack
this deen, an invulnerable fort in the path of those
who attack the millat of Ibrahim, and an arrow that
strikes the chest of the people of deviance and
transgression, and a thorn in the throats of the
tawagheet, their Ulama, and those who prop up their
thrones.
And this is what we think of you, and we have known
your way of life, so continue with what you are doing,
the Holy Spirit is with you, and Allah's eye watches
over you, and the tongues of the mujahideen are always
complimenting you and praying for you, and bi'ithin
Allah we will meet with the Prophets, the trusted
people, the Shuhadaa, and the good people in Janaat
and the river, in a trusting position with the
Almighty Ruler, wasalaamu alaikum waramatullahi
wabarakaatuhu.
Your mujahideen sons in Afghanistan -where Allah
established His Shari'a-
