بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
All praise
be to Allah, and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of
Allah. Thereafter:
By my mother, my father, and my soul, Abu Abdullah, as for the
death that was destined for you, you have already suffered it,
and you will not suffer it again. You had long waited for it
with a remarkable yearning, and it was the most precious,
unfulfilled desire for which you waited.
[Poetry]
My friend, if
a soul could be exchanged for someone who was dead *** I
would gladly exchange myself with you with my soul and
wealth.
And I was pleading that you would
live, and I would die *** But the reality of the judgment of
Allah disregards pleas.
Glad
tidings to you, O happy martyr, as we consider you to be.
Sleep soundly, with a calm mind, after a long journey seeking
the martyrdom for which you spent your life in this world. You
were sad that you had lived longer than you had wanted, and
you kept on chasing it enthusiastically all over the earth
like someone in love. Cast away the walking stick, for you
have achieved your goal and obtained your satisfaction. The
homes of the martyrs are your sanctuary, Allah willing.
And if ye are slain, or die, in the
way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better
than all they could amass. (Aal-e-Imran: 157)
And it is
as if you were wishing today to return to this world to be
killed once again and then again, as we had spoken in this
world about your Loved One, may the prayers and
peace of Allah be upon him, who swore that he desired to be
killed in the path of Allah and then live again so that he
could be killed, and then live again so that he could be
killed.
We do not hide grief. By Allah, it did not come to my mind
that I would eulogize you. I was hoping to get to Allah ahead
of you, but Allah willed to choose you, and I was left for
grieving.
[Poetry]
After your days have passed,
there is no consolation for anyone *** And days like yours
never came to my mind.
And how can a broken heart be comforted *** in an
environment of uneasiness and sorrow.
Be patient, my heart, because patience is a state *** after
resorting to which, the dear ones return.
And do not say he is gone, and he did not reach his goal ***
because neither the ones before nor the ones after are
saved.
The ravages of time affect my body *** so what do I care if
it wears out my shirt.
What I hoped for through time has passed *** from men, so,
how far away are my hopes.
What is wrong with me today. I am heartsick I did not follow
him in death *** nor remove patience and comfort from my
mind.
But we only say that which
pleases our Lord. O Allah, reward us for our hardship and
compensate us with what is better. And to Allah we belong, and
to Him is our return. Abu Abdullah was killed, and there is no
harm in it, for this is how heroes are killed on the
battlefield: welcoming death and being delighted with it. They
did not retreat or surrender, like those who love life would
do. The Sheikh was killed with his hand on the trigger,
fighting Allah's enemies without yielding or resting. He was
killed while steadfast and unchanging, continuing in
accordance with the pact of the believers.
...Of them some have completed their
vow to the extreme, and some still wait, but they have never
changed their determination in the least. (Al-Ahzab: 23)
We are proud, by Allah, that our leaders
are martyred without changing so that nations live on their
graves, and determination lives through their death. Who would
not want for his loved one to die as a martyr?
The Sheikh did not fall behind like
those who fell behind in the towers of indolence, doing
nothing about their Ummah's pain. They accepted their world
and said, This is a cold bath and a nice drink.
These are the deaths that shake the
thrones of the tyrants and oppressors and which cause the
foundations of the world to tremble, unlike the deaths of many
who live life on the sidelines.
[Poetry]
And people may die who are not even felt, as they were insignificant in matters and in their existence.
What did
the Americans achieve from killing the Sheikh, for did they
kill the religion of the Sheikh, the path of the Sheikh, his
call, and the spirit of fighting morale in the Ummah for which
the Sheikh gave his life? Let the Americans know that the
flame of Jihad burns more greatly and intensely than during
the life of the Sheikh. The servant was killed, so people
believed, but we are an Ummah whose principles do not die with
the death of its men. Instead, it feeds on the blood of its
men, and we sacrifice our leaders for it. The proof of our
message is in the martyrdom of our leaders.
It is incumbent upon you to fight
another generation immediately following the last, until your
life is ruined, your days are worsened, and you are
humiliated. The battle between us and you was not led only by
Usama, for the banner is tied by the hand of the Prophet may
Allah's prayers and peace be upon him - to Usama bin Zaid, and
it is the Prophetic tradition that is taken from Usama to
Usama, and lion to lion, until the Mahdi receives it and Issa
bin Maryam may peace be upon him - fights under it in the
epic battles of Al-Sham on the day of your end.
Do not depict the battle as superficial
and delude your fools that if you kill Usama then the issue is
finished, for what is coming is worse and what is waiting for
you is more damaging. When it happens, you will bite the
fingers of remorse and plead for mercy for the days of the
Sheikh.
And we are continuing with the pact of
the Sheikh until we die for what he died, Allah willing, or
exterminate you from the earth and purify it from your filth.
And as for those who welcomed the death
of the Sheikh, we say to them: Let them welcome what is
coming to you from the sons and students of the Sheikh. May
Allah disgrace you. History will record for you this shameful
position of yours, and the great shame will never be erased.
A page of history has been turned in which was translated the
brightest and most marvelous epic for a man that anyone could
hope for. And this is the grace of Allah that He bestows on
whomever he wishes. The page of his achievements has been
turned such that if Allah had met one of us with it, then one
could implore that he was the most Faithful and pious of the
Ummah and that he had the evidence before Allah.
May Allah reward you generously for Islam, O pious Mujahid,
for you have undertaken the commands of the religion in the
most excellent way. You never delayed a moment nor apologized
ever. You did not retreat a single time. You were valiant,
courageous, and a pious worshiper with strong purposefulness
and great determination. You were lionhearted and honest in
speech, speaking openly with the truth. You only did as you
said. We never knew you to have been affected by someone's
reproach as long as you had Allah, and you never feared anyone
except Allah. Your foot never stepped anywhere except to
torment the infidels, and your hand was never raised except
for battle or to promote goodness. You revived in the Ummah
the practice of Jihad, community, and migration, established
the pillar of allegiance and enmity, and divided the people
into the two tents of faith and infidelity.
I never saw one follow the Sunnah and apply it like you, nor
glorify the practices of the religion like you. If I eulogized
you today, I would not adequately describe a tenth of a tenth
of what you were in terms of religion and morals. So peace be
upon you Abu Abdullah, for you were, by Allah, a compassionate
father.
And we testify that you have delivered, advised, and benefited
your religion and Ummah, as we consider you, and Allah is your
Reckoner.
[Poetry]
I will weep for you as much as
my tears continue to flow *** And if they diminished, what
is in my soul would suffice.
I will not grieve any calamity *** nor will I rejoice after
your death.
Indeed, you are worth eulogizing and recollecting *** but
you were worthy of praises before that.
Until we meet again, under the shadow of the throne of the noble Prophet and his companions. All praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not. (Yusuf: 21)
