By Al-Ikhwah Al-Mujahidun

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

Post-martyrdom of Sheikh Usamah bin Ladin, the daulah kuffar al harb, America and its allies, were celebrating and feasting on his shed blood and bones. They think that with the death of our Mujahid and our beloved leader at the same time, as-Sheikh Usamah bin Ladin, it can stop the rotation of the wheel of destruction of their civilization, which is on the verge of collapse, and delay the time of their death, which indeed have been scheduled to come to pass before long, insha Allah..biidznillah…..

O kuffar! Remember! We have two victories. You may have forgotten that when a Muslim is said to have won, it is not always measured by materials, like how you measure your victory. Our Lord has explained to us that there are two victories for us, namely 'power in this world', which is acquired through Him, and 'martyrdom' which we crave.

O kuffar! We are not like you, who are greedy and voracious for the world. Victory for us, is not by occupying territories and then scraping all the wealth of the natural resources and all the potentials available there. All that is just a worldly victory and not everlasting. A power is not merely an absolute victory coming from ourselves but it is a gift from Allah SWT for all our toils, sweats and bloods as proof that we truly endeavour to assist His Dien.

"The ones who have believed, emigrated and striven in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives are greater in rank in the sight of Allah . And it is those who are the attainers [of success]." (At-Tawbah : 20). "Allah has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally. That is the great attainment." (At-Tawbah : 89)

Therefore, when he (Sheikh Usamah) presented his properties, life, time and potential, until they were paid off with martyrdom, that is the real victory and that is indeed a great victory for him. An everlasting victory. A victory that could only be felt and enjoyed by the people who have faith (iman) and its pleasure is not possible to be felt by the kafir. Therefore, by killing Sheikh Usamah, you have made a big mistake i.e. you are helping him to attain an eternal victory.

Irrespective of the victory of Sheikh Usamah by ma'nawi (meaning), there is a list of victories achieved by Al-Qaidah with the martyrdom of Sheikh Usamah bin Ladin from the worldly perspective. In fact, these victories even exceed the battles carried out by Al-Qaidah in physically and militarily fighting the Western hegemony. Those achieved victories are in the aspects of 'global jihad movement propaganda', 'recruitment' and at the same time 'negating the conspiracy theory' which is always accused on Sheikh Usamah as the leader of Al-Qaidah, and to Al-Qaidah as a jihad movement.

Victory in the Field of Propaganda

By killing Sheikh Usamah, America has indirectly opened the eyes of the millions of Muslims who had been blind to the struggle of Al-Qaidah in defending the Islamic ummah. The Islamic ummah increasingly understand in detail the vision and mission carried by Al-Qaidah from reading and listening to the mouths of the enemies of Al-Qaidah themselves. This is a free promotion for the jihad movement.

Whereas, before the killing of Sheikh Usamah, jihad movement was not taken into account so much in the struggle to reclaim the glory of the ummah. There were many who saw this movement with just an eye. However, after the death of Sheikh Usamah, the Islamic ummah are more aware, and they understand better the struggle, vision and mission of Al-Qaidah, as a leader in the movement to restore the Khilafah with da'wah and jihad.

This has become a hard slap for the Zionist-Crusader alliance, when they thought the martyrdom of Sheikh Usamah could extinguish the spirit and struggle of jihad, but instead it becomes a free propaganda for the movement of Al-Qaidah in the media in a massive scale.

"They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah refuses except to perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it." (At-Tawbah : 32)

Victory in the Field of Recruitment

Waves of protests condemning the United States after the killing of Sheikh Usamah bin Ladin spread in some countries, starting from Pakistan, India, Egypt to the UK.

Thousands of people took to the streets in the cities of Pakistan, from Karachi, Multan to Lahore. They all condemned the attack by the American forces which have killed Sheikh Usamah. The protesters carried a variety of banners and flags containing criticisms on the presence of the American forces in the soil of Pakistan.

In Egypt, the Salafi Muslim group along with a number of Palestinian citizens in Egypt held a mass protest in front of the embassy of the United States in Cairo. By carrying banners and pictures of Sheikh Usamah, they chanted anti-American and anti-Israeli slogans. They condemned the way the killing was carried out and the way America threw the body of Sheikh Usamah into the sea.

In Kashmir, incidence of minor clashes between the citizens and the police broke out when the masses wanted peform a solat ghaib for Sheikh Usamah. The Muslims of Kashmir wanted to do the solat ghaib for Sheikh Usamah bin Ladin as a collective obligation between fellow Muslims. The people criticized the way the United States disposed the janaza of Sheikh Usamah into the sea, calling it an extreme act that is unacceptable.

While in London, UK, more than 100 demonstrators assembled in front of the embassy of the United States in London. Under strict police guard, they chanted anti-American slogans and warned about the the emergence of retaliations. They criticized the British and American military involvement in Afganistan.

This signifies the increasing number of Muslim communities that are sympathetic to Al-Qaidah. Even though they are not affiliated with the organization of Al-Qaidah officially, but its ideology inspires them to carry out resistance against the colonialisms which are motored by America in the countries of the Muslims.

This probably was not predicted from the outset by the Americans or they indeed can not contain it?

You need to remember: the Muslims have already hated so much your arbitrary abusive actions, forcing the ideology that is incompatible with Islam on our lands. So wait for the punishment from us.

Remember O kuffar: the death of one Usamah, will produce thousands or even millions of new Usamah!

Victory over the Conspiracy Theory

A lot of conspiracy theories asserted that Sheikh Usamah is a CIA agent, a fictional character penned by America, a video human and all other accusations which are based solely on prejudices and coming from unclear sources. What's worse, the Muslims took part in the talks and approve it without wanting to go through trusted sources which indeed had met with Sheikh Usamah, knowing him in person. The disease of being lazy to think apparently does not only infect ordinary people but it also poisons those who are called intellectuals.

"And they do not come to you with an argument except that We bring you the truth and the best explanation." (Al-Furqān : 33).

"Indeed, those who came with falsehood are a group among you. Do not think it bad for you; rather it is good for you. For every person among them is what [punishment] he has earned from the sin, and he who took upon himself the greater portion thereof - for him is a great punishment." (An-Nūr :11)

However, with the death of Sheikh Usamah, all the conspiracy theories surrounding him are clearly exposed. There is no CIA agent human who killed America himself, and then the American people are partying over his death. Israel also stated that the death of Sheikh Usamah bin Ladin is a victory of democracy. So with what else would those people say that Sheikh Usamah bin Ladin is a CIA agent, from which other spectacles would they see, if they insist to see Sheikh Usamah as a CIA agent?

An even more ridiculous opinion is the one which says that Sheikh Usamah is a fictional character invented by America to justify their attacks on the countries of the Muslims. A figure who never existed, in fact they even say that the people of Afghanistan do not know him at all. This is the joke of the century which is the most ridiculous, baseless and is the work of people who only daydream but talk about reality. About whether or not he was present in the arena of jihad in Afghanistan, let the mentor and activator of jihad in Afghanistan gives his testimony, namely Ash-Shaheed Doctor Abdullah Azzam rahimahumullah.

"We pray to Allah Ta'ala to protect our brother, Abu Abdullah Usamah Bin Ladin; It is this man, both my eyes have never seen a man like this in the whole world."

"This man represents the whole nation."

"By Allah, I swear I can never be able to find someone in his level in the entire Islamic world, we pray to Allah to protect his religion and properties, and to bless his life."

"He lived in his house with the lives of the destitute. I used to always visit his home in Jeddah when I went to Hajj or Umrah, and I have never found a table or a chair in his house: all his houses. He married four wives and in all his houses, I never saw a table, or even a chair. The houses of the Jordanian or Egyptian workers are even better compared to the houses of Usamah. At the same time, if you ask him millions of Riyals for the Mujahideen, he will write a check of millions of Riyals for you."

"The people of Afghanistan see the Arabs like a man who left his business, his work and his company in Saudi Arabia, or in the Jordanian gulf, and live with the life of bread and stale tea at the top of the mountain peaks. And they will see Usamah Bin Ladin like a man who has left his successful business in renovating the Holy Masjid owned by Rasulullah SAW in Madinah for his brothers until he had lost his part – 2.5 millions Dollars – then threw himself into the middle of a battle."

( From the e-book "The Lofty Mountain" by Sheikh Ash-Shaheed biidznillah Abdullah Azzam, published by Azzam Publications (http://www.azzam.com), page 151-153, first edition, in pdf format.)

This is a part of the confessions by Doctor Abdullah Azzam about the person of Sheikh Usamah bin Ladin. But the above should be proof enough that Sheikh Usamah is not a figure of anyone's imagination. He had evidently conducted jihad, along with the Taliban, fighting the Soviet Union and now he conducted jihad against America, until Shaheed takes him away, Insha Allah.

Akhirul kalam, indeed, the martyrdom of Sheikh al Usamah bin Laden this year is a clear sign for the victory of the Muslims over the kuffar which we have waited together for long. And indeed, may Allah make istiqomah the sincere people to struggle to become the ansarullah and hizbullah, unperturbed in defending this dien until the last drops of the blood.. ameen…

O Sheikh… may we be able to continue the relay of your struggle, preserving the risaalah of our Rasul with the swords.

Greetings of struggles, Greetings of liberations! Allahu Akbar!
