Truly all praise belongs to Allah. We praise Him, and seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge
with Allah from the evils of our souls and from the consequences of our deeds. Whomever Allah guides
can never be led astray, and whomever Allah leads astray can never be guided.
I testify that there is no god except Allah – alone without any partners – and I testify that Muhammad
(peace and blessings be upon him) is His slave and Messenger.
{O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims}
[Āl
‘Imrān: 102].
{O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and
dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one
another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer}
[An-Nisā’: 1].
{O you who have believed, fear Allah and speak words of appropriate justice. He will amend for
you your deeds and forgive you your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His messenger has certainly
achieved a great triumph}
[Al-Ahzāb: 70-71].
As for what follows:
Allah (the Exalted) said, {O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed
upon those before you that you may become righteous}
[Al-Baqarah: 183].
{The month of Ramadan [is that] in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for the people and
clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast
it}
[Al-Baqarah: 185].
We congratulate the ummah (people) of Islam, in the East and in the West, on the advent of the blessed
month of Ramadan, and we praise Allah (the Exalted) for allowing us to reach this virtuous month.
Al-Bukhārī and Muslim reported on the authority of Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who
narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Whoever fasts the month
of Ramadan, having faith and anticipating a reward, will have his past sins forgiven.” He also said,
“Whoever stands in prayer in the month of Ramadan, having faith and anticipating a reward, will
have his past sins forgiven.”
So congratulations to you, O slaves of Allah, as Allah has allowed you to reach this noble month. Praise
Allah and thank Him for having granted you long lives, thereby giving you a chance to correct your past
deeds. Meet the month of Ramadan with sincere repentance and truthful resolve.
{O you who have believed, repent to Allah with sincere repentance. Perhaps your Lord will remove
from you your misdeeds and admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow [on] the Day when
Allah will not disgrace the Prophet and those who believed with him}
[At-Tahrīm: 8].
{And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared
for the righteous}
[Āl-‘Imrān: 133].
And there is no deed in this virtuous month or in any other month better than jihad in the path of Allah,
so take advantage of this opportunity and walk the path of you righteous predecessors. Support the religion
of Allah through jihad in the path of Allah. Go forth, O mujahidin in the path of Allah.
Terrify the enemies
of Allah and seek death in the places where you expect to find it, for the dunyā (worldly life) will come
to an end, and the hereafter will last forever.
{So do not weaken and call for peace while you are superior; and Allah is with you and will never
deprive you of [the reward of] your deeds. This worldly life is only amusement and diversion}
[Muhammad: 35-36].
{And this worldly life is not but diversion and amusement. And indeed, the home of the Hereafter –
that is the [eternal] life, if only they knew}
[Al-‘Ankabūt: 64].
{But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one’s] hope}
[Al-Kahf: 46].
And blessed is the one who parts with his dunyā in Ramadan and meets his Lord on a day from amongst
the days of forgiveness.
O mujahidin in the path of Allah, be monks during the night and be knights during the day. Bring joy to
the hearts of a believing people, and show the tawāghīt (rulers who claim Allah’s rights) what they are
wary of.
O mujahidin in the path of Allah, truly the matter is that of Allah’s religion and His commodity. You only
have one soul, and an appointed time of death that will neither be hastened nor delayed. It is a matter of
Paradise and Hellfire, happiness and misery. As for the religion of Allah, then it will be victorious. Allah
has promised to bring victory to the religion. And as for Allah’s commodity, then it is precious and
valuable. Indeed His commodity is costly. Indeed His commodity is Paradise. As for the soul, then what
a lowly, miserable, wretched soul it is if it does not seek what is with Allah and does not support the
religion of Allah.
By Allah, we will never be mujahidin as long as we are stingy with our lives and our wealth. By Allah,
we will never be truthful as long as we do not sacrifice our lives and wealth in order to raise high the word
of Allah and bring victory to the religion of Allah.
{Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for
that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed. [It is] a true
promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Quran. And who is truer to his
covenant than Allah? So rejoice in your transaction which you have contracted. And it is that which
is the great triumph}
[At-Tawbah: 111}.
So take up arms, take up arms, O soldiers of the Islamic State! And fight, fight!
Beware of becoming deluded and losing strength. Beware, for the dunyā has come to you reluctantly, so
kick it down, trample it, and leave it behind you. Indeed, what is with Allah is better and more lasting.
Indeed, the ummah of Islam is watching your jihad with eyes of hope, and indeed you have brothers in
many parts of the world being inflicted with the worst kinds of torture. Their honor is being violated. Their
blood is being spilled. Prisoners are moaning and crying for help. Orphans and widows are complaining
of their plight. Women who have lost their children are weeping. Masājid (plural of masjid) are desecrated
and sanctities are violated. Muslims’ rights are forcibly seized in China, India, Palestine, Somalia, the
Arabian Peninsula, the Caucasus, Shām (the Levant), Egypt, Iraq, Indonesia, Afghanistan, the Philippines,
Ahvaz, Iran [by the rāfidah (shia)], Pakistan, Tunisia, Libya, Algeria and Morocco, in the East and in the
West.
So raise your ambitions, O soldiers of the Islamic State! For your brothers all over the world are waiting
for your rescue, and are anticipating your brigades. It is enough for you to just look at the scenes that have
reached you from Central Africa, and from Burma before that. What is hidden from us is far worse. So by
Allah, we will take revenge! By Allah, we will take revenge! Even if it takes a while, we will take
revenge, and every amount of harm against the ummah will be responded to with multitudes more against
the perpetrator.
{And those who, when tyranny strikes them, they defend themselves}
[Ash-Shūrā: 39].
And the one who commences is the more oppressive.
Soon, by Allah’s permission, a day will come when the Muslim will walk everywhere as a master, having
honor, being revered, with his head raised high and his dignity preserved.
Anyone who dares to offend
him will be disciplined, and any hand that reaches out to harm him will be cut off.
So let the world know that we are living today in a new era. Whoever was heedless must now be alert.
Whoever was sleeping must now awaken. Whoever was shocked and amazed must comprehend.
The
Muslims today have a loud, thundering statement, and possess heavy boots. They have a statement that
will cause the world to hear and understand the meaning of terrorism, and boots that will trample the idol
of nationalism, destroy the idol of democracy and uncover its deviant nature.
So listen, O ummah of Islam. Listen and comprehend.
Stand up and rise. For the time has come for you
to free yourself from the shackles of weakness, and stand in the face of tyranny, against the treacherous
rulers – the agents of the crusaders and the atheists, and the guards of the jews.
O ummah of Islam, indeed
the world today has been divided into two camps and two trenches, with no
third camp present: The camp of Islam and faith, and the camp of kufr (disbelief) and hypocrisy – the
camp of the Muslims and the mujahidin everywhere, and the camp of the jews, the crusaders, their allies,
and with them the rest of the nations and religions of kufr, all being led by America and Russia, and being
mobilized by the jews.
Indeed the Muslims were defeated after the fall of their khilāfah (caliphate). Then their state ceased to
exist, so the disbelievers were able to weaken and humiliate the Muslims, dominate them in every region,
plunder their wealth and resources, and rob them of their rights.
They accomplished this by attacking and
occupying their lands, placing their treacherous agents in power to rule the Muslims with an iron fist, and
spreading dazzling and deceptive slogans such as: civilization, peace, co-existence, freedom, democracy,
secularism, baathism, nationalism, and patriotism, among other false slogans.
Those rulers continue striving to enslave the Muslims, pulling them away from their religion with those
slogans. So either the Muslim pulls away from his religion, disbelieves in Allah, and disgracefully submits
to the manmade shirk (polytheistic) laws of the east and west,
living despicably and disgracefully as a
follower, by repeating those slogans without will and honor, or he lives persecuted, targeted, and expelled,
to end up being killed, imprisoned, or terribly tortured, on the accusation of terrorism. Because terrorism
is to disbelieve in those slogans and to believe in Allah. Terrorism is to refer to Allah’s law for judgment.
Terrorism is to worship Allah as He ordered you.
Terrorism is to refuse humiliation, subjugation, and subordination [to the kuffār – infidels].
Terrorism is for the Muslim to live as a Muslim, honorably with might and freedom.
Terrorism is to insist upon your rights and not give them up.
But terrorism does not include the killing of Muslims in Burma and the burning of their homes. Terrorism
does not include the dismembering and disemboweling of the Muslims in the Philippines, Indonesia, and
Kashmir. Terrorism does not include the killing of Muslims in the Caucasus and expelling them from their
lands. Terrorism does not include making mass graves for the Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and
the slaughtering of their children. Terrorism does not include the destruction of Muslims’ homes in
Palestine, the seizing of their lands, and the violation and desecration of their sanctuaries and families.
Terrorism does not include the burning of masājid in Egypt, the destruction of the Muslims’ homes there,
the rape of their chaste women, and the oppression of the mujahidin in the Sinai Peninsula and elsewhere.
Terrorism does not include the extreme torture and degradation of Muslims in East Turkistan and Iran [by
the rāfidah], as well as preventing them from receiving their most basic rights. Terrorism does not include
the filling of prisons everywhere with Muslim captives. Terrorism does not include the waging of war
against chastity and hijab (Muslim women’s clothing) in France and Tunis. It does not include the
propagation of betrayal, prostitution, and adultery.
Terrorism does not include the insulting of the Lord of Mightiness, the cursing of the religion, and the
mockery of our Prophet (peace be upon him). Terrorism does not include the slaughtering of Muslims in
Central Africa like sheep, while no one weeps for them and denounces their slaughter.
All this is not terrorism. Rather it is freedom, democracy, peace, security, and tolerance! Sufficient for us
is Allah, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.
{And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the
Praiseworthy}
[Al-Burūj: 8].
O Muslims everywhere, glad tidings to you and expect good. Raise your head high, for today – by Allah’s
grace – you have a state and khilāfah, which will return your dignity, might, rights, and leadership. It is a
state where the Arab and non-Arab, the white man and black man, the easterner and westerner are all
brothers. It is a khilāfah that gathered the Caucasian, Indian, Chinese, Shāmī, Iraqi, Yemeni, Egyptian,
Maghribī (North African), American, French, German, and Australian. Allah brought their hearts together,
and thus, they became brothers by His grace, loving each other for the sake of Allah, standing in a single
trench, defending and guarding each other, and sacrificing themselves for one another. Their blood mixed
and became one, under a single flag and goal, in one pavilion, enjoying this blessing, the blessing of
faithful brotherhood. If kings were to taste this blessing, they would abandon their kingdoms and fight
over this grace. So all praise and thanks are due to Allah.
Therefore, rush O Muslims to your state. Yes, it is your state. Rush, because Syria is not for the Syrians,
and Iraq is not for the Iraqis. The earth is Allah’s.
{Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the [best]
outcome is for the righteous}
[Al-A’rāf: 128].
The State is a state for all Muslims. The land is for the Muslims, all the Muslims.
O Muslims everywhere, whoever is capable of performing hijrah (emigration) to the Islamic State, then
let him do so, because hijrah to the land of Islam is obligatory.
Allah (the Exalted) said, {Indeed, those whom the angels take [in death] while wronging themselves
– [the angels] will say, “In what [condition] were you?” They will say, “We were oppressed in the
land.” The angels will say, “Was not the earth of Allah spacious [enough] for you to emigrate
therein?” For those, their refuge is Hell – and evil it is as a destination}
[An-Nisā’: 97].
So rush, O Muslims, with your religion to Allah as muhājirīn (emigrants).
{And whoever emigrates for
the cause of Allah will find on the earth many [alternative] locations and abundance. And whoever
leaves his home as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him – his
reward has already become incumbent upon Allah. And Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful}
We make a special call to the scholars, fuqahā’ (experts in Islamic jurisprudence), and callers, especially
the judges, as well as people with military, administrative, and service expertise, and medical doctors and
engineers of all different specializations and fields. We call them and remind them to fear Allah, for their
emigration is wājib ‘aynī (an individual obligation), so that they can answer the dire need of the Muslims
for them. People are ignorant of their religion and they thirst for those who can teach them and help them
understand it. So fear Allah, O slaves of Allah.
O soldiers of the Islamic State, do not be awestruck by the great numbers of your enemy, for Allah is with
you. I do not fear for you the numbers of your opponents, nor do I fear your neediness and poverty, for
Allah (the Exalted) has promised your Prophet (peace be upon him) that you will not be wiped out by
famine, and your enemy will not himself conquer you and violate your land. Allah placed your provision
under the shades of your spears. Rather, I fear for you your own sins. Accept each other and do not dispute.
Come together and do not argue. Fear Allah in private and public, openly and secretly. Stay away from
sins. Expel from your ranks those who openly commit sin. Be wary of pride, haughtiness, and arrogance.
Do not become proud on account of gaining some victories. Humble yourselves before Allah. Do not be
arrogant towards Allah’s slaves. Do not underestimate your enemy regardless of how much strength you
gain and how much your numbers grow.
I also remind you to attend to the Muslims and the tribes of Ahlus-Sunnah (the Sunnis) with goodness.
Stay awake guarding them so they can be safe and at rest. Be their support. Respond with kindness if they
do you wrong. Be gentle with them, giving them as much pardon as you can. Persevere, endure, and
remain stationed. Know that today you are the defenders of the religion and the guards of the land of
Islam. You will face tribulation and malāhim (fierce battles). Verily, the best place for your blood to be
spilled is on the path to liberate the Muslim prisoners imprisoned behind the walls of the tawāghīt. So
prepare your arms, and supply yourselves with piety. Persevere in reciting the Quran with comprehension
of its meanings and practice of its teachings.
This is my advice to you. If you hold to it, you will conquer Rome and own the world, if Allah wills.
{Our Lord, we have believed in what You revealed and have followed the Messenger, so register us
among the witnesses [to truth]}
[Āl ‘Imrān: 53].
{Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon
us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that
which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are
our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people}
[Al-Baqarah: 286].
