Obituary Statement for the Mujahid Sheikh Ibrahim bin
Sulaiman ar Rubaish
Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds and prayers and peace on the Prophet
and on his family and his companions
Thereafter:
Allah, azz wa jall, says in His Dear Book: ''Among the Believers are men who
have been true to their covenant with Allah: of them some have completed their
vow, and some still)wait: but they have never changed their determination in
the least.'' (al Ahzab 23)
With content hearts and surrendered to Allah's verdict and justice, we present
to our Muslim Ummah in the East and the West, and especially among them our
people in al Qasim, with news of the martyrdom of the Knight of Knights, the
steadfast, devout, persevering, the mujahid Sheikh Ibrahim bin Sulaiman ar
Rubaish, may Allah have mercy on his soul, who died as a result of a cowardly
Crusader strike which killed him with a number of his brothers Monday night the
24th of the month of Jumada al Thani, after he spent nearly two decades of his
life as a mujahid for the sake of Allah, striking America and its agents. And
the beginning was in Afghanistan where he fought with his mujahidin brothers
the Crusader campaign, and was one of the heroes of Tora Bora and experienced
in his jihad journey horrors and perils until his affliction of Allah in the
prison in Guantanamo, where he spent a few years in it. And it was a state of
preparation and rest, then he didn't delay after his release in joining the
caravan of his mujahidin brothers in the Arabian Peninsula, and he was among
the good role models and the model of the models and the unique style, waging
jihad with his hand and fighting with his weapon and raiding with the blessing
of Allah, and he refused to be anywhere except at the front of the ranks
striking the enemies of Allah and leading the legion of al Shabaab and they
belittled their determination and bravery compared to his. He set a wonderful
example about courage and boldness in accepting martyrdom.
And for the field military work aspect, he was, may Allah have mercy on him,
the educating preacher and the mentoring guide and a builder and reformer. And
he brought to mind the status of the sincere people of knowledge who Allah
entrusted in them the knowledge and performing the devotion and not subjected
to real pressure of this world or tyranny of power, and his fear of Allah
refused him to be one of those who distorted the knowledge and to clothe the
people for the sake of the party or the group or the organization. And he was
in his advice and his correction a column of the jihad columns in the Arabian
Peninsula and saving the march of jihad from deviation toward the excessive or
the extremism, and drew a road map for those who are beyond the road map and a
guidance plan. And thus it is imperative on the people of knowledge to be such,
and this is the true peak for knowledge and scholars.
And Sheikh Ibrahim ar Rubaish, may Allah have mercy on him, taught us how to
make hijrah for the sake of Allah, and how to perform jihad, and how to perform
da'wah, and what is the role of the people of knowledge, and how to fix and
build, and how to assert the the truth and candor in advice. And on his path,
the people of knowledge walk on and follow on his footsteps, and others should
follow in his footsteps. And this is his blood and his body parts today shout
and scream for the people of knowledge and da'wah to come to the fields of
sacrifice and jihad. Come to the fields of education and da'wah, come to where
the plants grow and raises the foundation and raises the edifices of the high
deen. Come to where knowledge is pure and models are made for your Ummah.
Oh sincere mujahidin in the East and the West: this is the symbol of your
symbols and the Sheikh of your Sheikhs who went to Allah today after a long
march of jihad. He did not change and did not switch and did not flatter
anyone. He was neither tempted or swayed by the pleasures of the dunya and its
trappings. He left for Allah to encourage you all on more tenacity in this
battle and to assure for you that sincerity of our da'wah in martyrdom of our
leadership, and the true holder of knowledge must be at the front of the ranks
of the mujahidin facing death as he remembers the worlds of our leader and
Messenger of Allah: ''I would love to fight for the sake of Allah and be killed
and then to fight and be killed and then to fight and be killed.'' narrated by
Muslim.
Oh mujahidin, this is deen failed or expired with the death of a man, the deen
would have failed or expired with the death of the Messenger of Allah, peace be
upon him. If the issue were to be about one man, this deen would have expired
at the dawn of Islam. But this is Allah's deen and command, and He guaranteed
to protect it. So don't despair, because you are the greater ones. Let your
slogan be the words of Allah ''How many of the prophets fought for the sake of
Allah, and with them they fought a big group of godly men? But they never lost
their heart if they had a disaster in Allah's way, and they didn't become weak
or give up. And Allah loves those who are firm and steadfast. All they said was
''Our Lord, forgive us of our sins and anything we may have done which
transgressed our duty. Make our feet firm and help us against those that resist
faith.'' (al Imran 3:146-147)
Oh Allah, accept Sheikh Ibrahim ar Rubaish and his brothers among the shuhada.
Oh Allah, raise their status and give them your mercy. Oh Allah, give us
recompense and the Muslim Ummah with even better ones for You have power over
all things.
Our last cry is: Alhamdulillah, Lord of the Worlds
