Safar 05, 1431 A.H, Wednesday January 20, 2010
In the name of Allah, the Most
Kind, the Most Merciful.
All praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of
Allah, Muhammad ibn Abdullah, and upon his family, his Companions, and those
who follow his footsteps until the day of Judgment.
To proceed:
Every once in a while an important event takes place, the significance of
which is not immediately apparent. It is only after a period of time passes
that the enormity of the event is fully recognised. Such an event took place
exactly one year ago today: on January 20th 2009.
On that day an announcement was posted to the jihadist forums, informing the
Believers of the merger of two branches of the al-Qaida organisation: the
branches in Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
This new organisation would be known as Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, and
would be lead by Amir Abu Basir – Nasir al-Wahayshi (may Allah protect him),
along with his deputy Sheikh Abu Sufyan – Said al-Shihri (may Allah protect
him).
This merger was in accordance with the command of Allah, the Exalted, who
said:
وَقَاتِلُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ كَافَّة ً كَمَا يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ كَافَّة ً
"...and fight the polytheists collectively, as they fight you
collectively" (Al-Tawbah: 36)
And it was in accordance with the authentic hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) who said:
"A Believer to another Believer is like a building whose different parts strengthen each other"
Indeed, one of the main objectives of Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula is to carry out the last request of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said:
أخرجوا
المشركين من جزيرة العرب
"Expel the polytheists from the Arabian Peninsula"
There was a certain amount of
enthusiasm on the jihadist forums, people recognised the leadership potential
of Amir Abu Basir (may Allah protect him), and looked forward to him slowly
rebuilding the capabilities of the Mujahideen of the Arabian Peninsula.
Outside of jihadist circles however, the announcement barely raised an
eyebrow.
Very few people could have predicted that in just twelve short months Amir Abu
Basir (may Allah protect him) would have made Al-Qaida in the Arabian
Peninsula a household name, an inspiration to Muslims the world over, and a
nightmare from which the Zionist-Crusaders and the Arab Apostates cannot seem
to awaken from.
In twelve short months Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula have achieved the
following:
1.) Targeted the heads of Disbelief even while they hid behind their
Palace walls, in the operation which targeted Muhammad bin Nayif. Every one of
the Idol Kings of the Arabs will now sleep less soundly: knowing that the
Lions of Tawhid are coming for them soon!
2.) Sent the Western world into a spin, forcing the infidels to spend
many billions of dollars upgrading their airport security, following the
operation of Umar al-Farouq (may Allah free him)
3.) Revealed the treachery of the Yemeni army, their disregard for the
blood and honor of the Muslims, their complicity in the crimes of the
Zionist-Crusaders; and therefore the obligation of fighting them.
4.) Clearly identified their long and short-term objectives, and proved
the religious legitimacy of their acts with stirring speeches from Sheikh
Ibrahim al-Rubaish, Commander Muhammad ibn Abdur-Rahman al-Rashid and Sheikh
Abu Zubair Adil al-Abab (may Allah protect them all)
5.) Set a wonderful example for the Ummah to follow, with the martyrdom
of Abul Khair - Abdullah Hassan al-Assiri, Abu Tamim al-Azdi - Yusuf al-Shehri,
and Abu Omar al-Najdi - Raed al-Harbi (may Allah have Mercy on them all)
In conclusion, we congratulate all Mujahideen, especially those in the Arabian
Peninsula, on their many victories during 2009, and look forward to even more
from them in 2010, with the permission of Allah.
Truly they have warmed the hearts of the Believers who had begun to despair of
the situation in the Arabian Peninsula ever being improved.
Our Lord! Protect the leaders of Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula!
Our Lord! Grant their Mujahideen one of the two best things: Victory or
Martyrdom!
Our Lord! Grant victory to the Mujahideen in the Arabian Peninsula, in Iraq,
in Afghanistan and Pakistan, in Somalia, in the Caucasus, in the Islamic
Maghreb, and all around the world!
Our Lord! Humiliate the Zionist-Crusaders and the Apostates, foil their plans,
sow discord among them, and shatter the illusion of their might!
"Our Lord! Pour down patience upon us, make our feet
firm, and grant us victory over the Disbelieving people!" (Al-Baqarah:
250)
And our final prayer is: All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
Don't Forget Us in Your Prayers
