Martyrdom Of Commander Dhia al-Deen, Military Official For Faryab Province
25 December 2010
By Al-Ikhwah Al-Mujahidun
In the Name of Allah, the Most
Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
The famous Commander Mullah Dhia
al-Deen, governor and military official for Jihadist
Affairs in Faryab province was Martyred during a
bloody clash that occurred between the Mujahideen of
the Emirate and foreign forces in the village of Qurak
Wadaq in the Dawlat Abad district of Faryab province,
in the southwest of Afghanistan. Commander Dhia al-Deen
was consider one of the most successful military
officials and had played a tangible role in
confronting Crusader forces and their lackeys in the
west of the country.
The Martyr Mullah Qari Dhia al-Deen,
also famous by the name of "Farooq", was born in 1403
AH in the house of Hajj Abdul Baqi in the village of
Tub Khana Qala in the environs of Dawlat Abad district
of Faryab province.
Brother Dhia was an Uzbek
national of the Bek tribe, one of the famous ethnic
groups in Afghanistan. His family was characterized by
their love for Jihad, religion and people of ‘Ilm.
He memorized the Qur'an in his
youth and he, may Allah have mercy on him, loved
Shari'ah learning since his early childhood. He was a
student of many of the Shari'ah scholars in his area,
but his involvement in the Jihad against the Crusader
infidels and their lackeys prevented him from
continuing his studies.
After the unjust Crusader forces
entered the country with oppression and aggression and
committed the most despicable crimes against the
Muslim Afghan people, brother Farooq was not able to
sit safe and secure seeking knowledge while his
brothers and his people were being slaughtered at the
hands of the occupation. So he gathered some of his
comrades and began the holy, armed Jihad.
Despite his youth, he became
famous for his surpassing bravery and rare military
chivalry among his peers and throughout the entire
province. He made the Crusaders taste the evil of
defeats and through his surpassing chivalry was able
to minimize losses within the ranks of the Mujahideen,
while maximizing losses on the other side. He
conducted many operations against the enemy until
terror of him was struck in the hearts of the Crusader
enemies of Allah and their lackeys so that they were
in awe and fear of him and would not enter any battle
that required confronting him directly.
In the beginning, the Mujahideen
and his comrades chose him as their commander in their
region, but his fame, bravery and excessive chivalry
made the Officials of the Islamic Emirate take notice
of him, and they entrusted him with responsibility
for an entire province, and he
became the General Military Official for Faryab
province.
After his appointment to this
high and sought-after position, he undertook the
proper organization of the ranks of the Mujahideen in
accordance with the current Jihadist situation in his
province at that time. He also strongly linked
together the Mujahideen operations, which were
somewhat characterized by their arbitrariness.
Among the most important of his
accomplishments was initiating tasks for calling to
Jihad the people of Faryab province who had begun to
be influenced by the media of the Crusader enemy and
their helpers. He built various FM transmitters and
began to transmit their ideas and alarms to the local
residents around the clock. Through the grace of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'alaand his great sincerity he
was able to lead away hundreds of young men and
administrators from the ranks of the lackeys and
attract and join them to the ranks of the Mujahideen
or obtain their protection and assistance.
His military program had a great
impact in absorbing the impact of Crusader forces and
their helpers upon the province. He likewise expanded
the radius of liberated land in the province and
expanded along with it the influence of the Emirate as
well as won the hearts of the people of the province
and inclined them towards the side of the Islamic
Emirate to provide protection and assistance as well
as food, weapons and security.
After brother Farooq was
appointed to the position of province military
official, he remained in that post until his
Martyrdom. He would spend all of his time courageously
and sincerely with the Mujahideen in the front lines
of the battle. He was a commander of the Mujahideen
and their servant. He was proof of the words of
Allah's Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be
upon him: The Master of the People is their
Servant. He won by bearing the hardships of
Jihad, the fatigue and wounds. All of that, however,
did not deter him from continuing his difficult work
and he never lost his firm determination.
Finally, he achieved what he
desired. He desired Martyrdom and he obtained it, when
the Crusader forces launched a cowardly night-time
raid on the 4thday of October in the current year
2010, six kilometers away from Dawlet Abad district in
the area of Qurak Wadaq in Faryab province. With four
of his comrades, he resisted the Crusader forces until
his dying breath. He did not surrender to the Crusader
forces that surrounded him on every side rather he
fought with courage and inflicted great losses on the
Crusaders forces until he was Martyred with his four
zealous comrades. We beseech Allah subhanahu wa
ta'alato accept him and let him abide in Paradise
and to gather us with him as Martyrs in Paradise. O
Allah, Ameen.
His character
and personality:
The Martyr Dhia al-Deen Farooq,
may Allah accept him and have mercy on him, was
handsome of face and of medium height. He smiled much
and was of mild disposition. He was highly commended
and of great stature among his people, his peers and
his brothers. He was known among the Mujahideen for
his effectiveness, patience, sincerity and service. He
would deal with the people of his village and province
with great wisdom and perspicacity. Because of his
great sincerity, he won the love of all in the
province except his enemies who feared him and were in
dread of him because he was so hard upon them on the
battlefield. He was a gentle counselor in the villages
and mosques. He was strictly obedient to the orders of
the Islamic Emirate and would carry them out without
hesitation or opposition. He was characterized by his
mildness. He had memorized the Qur'an and would lead
the Mujahideen in prayer.
His Successors:
The Shaheed Farooq was a family
man. In addition to his wife, he left three children
behind him, a son and two daughters. He also left
behind three brothers. The family of brother Farooq is
famed for Jihad and sacrifice. Two of his uncles have
been Martyred before him and 7 members of his family
have been imprisoned by the foreign occupation forces.
May Allah have mercy on our
martyr and make Paradise his abode. And may Allah free
all the Muslim prisoners.
