Audio Statement by IS Spokesman Abu Muhammad al-‘Adnani as-Shami ~ Say, ''Die in your Rage''
An Address by the Spokesman for the Islamic State The Mujahid
Shaykh Abu Muhammad al-‘Adnani ash-Shami
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Beneficent
Say, ''Die in Your Rage!''
All praise be to Allah, the Mighty, the Strong. May blessings
and peace be upon the one who was sent with the sword as a mercy to the
creation. As for what follows…
Allah the Exalted says, {Say, ''Call your ‘partners' and
then conspire against me and give me no respite. Indeed, my protector
is Allah, who has sent down the Book; and He is an ally to the
righteous} [Al=A'raf: 195=196].
Gather, O spiteful crusaders, and assemble your allies from
amongst the murtaddin (apostates), the Rafidah, and the atheists. Gather,
form your alliances collectively, and support one another. Gather every day
and form your plots and schemes. Gather, conspire, and mobilize.
The muwahhidin (monotheists) will not fear you. The mujahidin will not be
frightened by you, for they have taken refuge with a strong pillar, and
have sought protecHon with the Mighty, the Wise, the Praiseworthy, while
having confidence and assurance.
{Is not Allah sufficient for His Servant? And yet, they
threaten you with those they worship other than Him. And whoever Allah leaves
astray – for him there is no guide. And whoever Allah guides – for him
there is no misleader. Is not Allah Exalted in Might and Owner of
Retribution?} [Az-Zumar: 36-37].
It is with this creed that we fight you, O crusaders. So how
impossible it is for you to gain victory! Indeed, every mujahid muwahhid
has complete certainty that you altogether will not be able to harm
him except with the permission of his Lord who has taken him as an ally.
{And He is the subjugator over His servants. And He is the Wise,
the Acquainted with all} [Al-An'am: 18].
{Effecter of what He intends} [Al-Buruj: 16].
O Jews, O crusaders, O Rafidah, O murtaddin, O sahwat, O
criminals, O enemies of Allah altogether! Indeed, we will remain upon our
path, confident of our Lord's support. So die in your rage! By Allah, you
will not see from us – with Allah's permission – except that which will
grieve you. So praise be to Allah, who has made the Islamic State a
thorn in your eyes, a choking pain in your throats, a spear in your
chests, and a rage burning in your hearts. Die in your rage!
By Allah, you will not see from us – with Allah's permission –
other than harshness and might. And whoever amongst you survives our bombings
and escapes our weapons, will – by Allah's permission – die from his grief
over our victory.
So rejoice, O Muslims everywhere, for your State –
by Allah's grace – is becoming stronger and stronger… Remaining – by
Allah's permission – and expanding… ConHnuing upon its path, with clear
guidance and insight from its Lord… Taking confident steps with no doubt or
hesitation.
And in spite of the ongoing crusade, the gathering of those
near and far against the Islamic State, and the war waged against it
by those both close and distant, we bring the mujahidin the good
news of the Islamic State's expansion to Khurasan (a region
encompassing Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other nearby lands). Indeed,
the mujahidin from amongst the soldiers of the Khilafah have
fulfilled the conditions and met the requirements for the
declaration of Wilayat Khurasan. They have announced their bay'ah to
Amirul-Mu'minin (may Allah preserve him) Khalifah Ibrahim, and he has
accepted it and appointed the noble Shaykh Hafidh Sa'id Khan (may Allah
preserve him) as the Wali of Wilayat Khurasan, and appointed as his deputy
the noble Shaykh ‘Abdur-Ra'uf Khadim Abu Talhah (may Allah preserve him).
Therefore, we call upon all the muwahhidin in Khurasan
to join the caravan of the Khilafah and abandon disunity and
factionalism. So come to your state, O mujahidin! Come to your Khilafah, for
you are the forerunners. You have fought the English, the Russians, and
the Americans, and upon you today is a new fight; a fight to enforce tawhid
(monotheism) and vanquish shirk (polytheism).
So come forth, humbling yourselves before Allah, and
Allah will honor you and raise you. Come forth, for this is an
opportunity for the Muslims and it has not yet passed you by, so do not lose
it.
We call upon all the soldiers of the Islamic State who are in
Khurasan to listen to and obey the Wali, Hafidh Sa'id Khan, and his
deputy (may Allah preserve them both), and to prepare for the great
tribulations they will face. The factions will assemble against you and
the rifles and bayonets will multiply against you. But you are up to it,
with Allah's permission.
So unsheathe your swords and take out your spears. Be firm
and do not weaken or somen. It will either be victory through which Allah
will honor Islam and the Muslims, or shahadah by which we will meet Allah
having been excused, and indeed, we see victory only two bows'
length away or even closer. As for the near=term, by Allah's power and
strength, this crusade will be broken, and we will have there amer – by
Allah's permission – a meeting in al-Quds and an appointment in Rome, prior
to which the crusader armies will be defeated in Dabiq. Indeed, they see it
as distant, but we see it as near.
O crusaders! Your wild campaign has carried on for months, but
the mujahidin – by Allah's grace – have only increased in strength,
steadfastness, and their certainty of victory. And every day that
passes, the fear, terror, and loss of security you suffer only increases.
Your dog Obama, out of his cowardice and feebleness, conHnues to warn against
being dragged into a ground war, and because of your weakness and
incapability, he conHnues to emphasize the role of the murtadd Arab rulers,
their armies, and their sorcerers from amongst the palace scholars,
and how important and essential they are in this campaign. He depends on
them, and on supporting and aiding the sahwat, and he promises victory in
spite of his emphasis that the baple will take long.
{He promises them and arouses desire in them, but
Satan does not promise them except delusion} [An-Nisa': 120].
None of this will benefit you. We will see you on the ground
and will meet you on land, and we will defeat you here and apack you in your
land. This is the promise of Allah; Allah does not fail in His promise.
Therefore, O mujahidin, ready yourselves, prepare for the
enemy and seek help from your Lord, for the baple is about to
intensify. Indeed, the affair is tremendous. It is extremely
tremendous. So praise Allah, O soldiers of the Islamic State, for making you
live to see this day and selecting you for this affair. Let every one of you
defend his position and not let Islam be harmed from his direction.
Otherwise, there can be no less than to sacrifice one's life
and cheaply give away one's soul.
Likewise, we renew our call to the muwahhidin in
Europe and the disbelieving West and everywhere else, to target the
crusaders in their own lands and wherever they are found. We will argue,
before Allah, against any Muslim who has the ability to shed a single drop of
crusader blood but does not do so, whether with an explosive device, a
bullet, a knife, a car, a rock, or even a boot or a fist. Indeed, you saw
what a single Muslim did with Canada and its parliament of shirk, and
what our brothers in France, Australia, and Belgium did – may Allah have
mercy upon them all and reward them with good on behalf of Islam. And there
were many others who killed, ran others over, threatened, frightened, and
terrorized people, to the extent that we saw the crusader armies
deployed on the streets in Australia, Canada, France, Belgium, and other
strongholds of the cross to whom we promise – by Allah's permission – a
continuation of their state of alert, terror, fear, and loss of security.
And what lies ahead will be worse – with Allah's permission – and more biper,
for you haven't seen anything from us just yet.
Lastly, the muwahhidin have rejoiced at the death of the
tyrant of the Arabian Peninsula, the traitor of al-Haramayn (the two
Sanctuaries of Mecca and Medina). We ask Allah to cast him into Hell – and
wretched is the destination – to the severest of punishments, with
Pharaoh and Haman.
Furthermore, we say that his death means nothing to
us. One taghut (a ruler who rules by manmade law) has perished and
another taghut has taken his place, and they are both puppets.
There is no difference whether they are present or
not, for the real rulers of the lands of al-Haramayn are the Jews
and crusaders, not Salman or Bin Nayef (may Allah disgrace them both).
We ask Allah the Exalted to destroy Al Salul (the apostate
House of Saud) – the dogs of the Jews and crusaders – along with their
helpers and supporters from amongst the evil scholars and the callers to
deviance, and to hasten the liberation of the lands of al-Haramayn
and the Peninsula of Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon
him).
And to Allah belongs the command before and amer, and there
is no might or strength except by
Allah.
