If You Do Not Support Him By Sheikh Ali Dheere, the Official Spokesman for the Shabaab al-mujahideen Movement, May Allah Protect Him بسم اهلل الرحمن الرحيم إ ا ل ت نص ر وه ف ق د ن ص ر ه اللاو إ ذ أ خ ر ج و الاذ ين ك ف ر وا ث ان ي اث ن ي ن إ ذ ى م ا ف ي ال غ ار إ ذ ي ق ول ل ص اح ب و ل ت ح ز ن إ ان اللاو و ك ل م ة اللاو ى ي ال ع ل ي ا ف أ نز ل اللاو س ك ين ت و ع ل ي و و أ ياد ه ب ج ن ود لام ت ر و ى ا و ج ع ل ك ل م ة الاذ ين ك ف ر وا الس ف ل ى م ع ن ا و اللاو ع ز يز ح ك يم If ye help not (your leader), (it is no matter): for Allah did indeed help him, when the Unbelievers drove him out: he had no more than one companion; they two were in the cave, and he said to his companion, 'Have no fear, for Allah is with us': then Allah sent down His peace upon him, and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not, and humbled to the depths the word of the Unbelievers. But the word of Allah is exalted to the heights: for Allah is Exalted in might, Wise. (At-Taubah: 40) Praise be to Allah. We praise Him, and we seek His help, and we ask for His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils within ourselves and our misdeeds. Whomever Allah guides, he will not be mislead. Whomever He misleads, he will not be guided. I testify that there is no god but Allah alone, without partner. I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger. O Allah, send prayers upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, just as You sent prayers upon Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. You are the Most Praiseworthy, the Majestic. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, just as You blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. You are the Most Praiseworthy, the Majestic. ي ا أ ي ه ا الاذ ين آم ن وا اتاق وا اللاو ح اق ت ق ات و و ل ت م وت ان إ ا ل و أ نت م م س ل م ون O ye who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except in a state of Islam. (Aal-e-Imran: 102) 1
ي ا أ ي ه ا النااس اتاق وا ر باك م الاذ ي خ ل ق ك م م ن ن اف س و اح د ة و خ ل ق م ن ه ا ز و ج ه ا و ب اث م ن ه م ا ر ج اا ل ك ث ي ا را و ن س اءا و اتاق وا اللاو الاذ ي ت س اء ل ون إ ان اللاو ك ان ع ل ي ك م ر ق يب ا ب و و ا ل ر ح ام ا O mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, His mate, and from them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women;- reverence Allah, through whom ye demand your mutual (rights), and (reverence) the wombs (That bore you): for Allah ever watches over you. (An-Nisa: 1) ي ا أ ي ه ا الاذ ين آم ن وا اتاق وا اللاو و ق ول وا ق و ا ل س د ي ادا ي ص ل ح ل ك م أ ع م ال ك م و ي غ ف ر ل ك م ذ ن وب ك م و ر س ول و ف ق د ف از ف و ازا ع ظ ي ا ما و م ن ي ط ع اللاو O ye who believe! Fear Allah, and (always) say a word directed to the Right: That He may make your conduct whole and sound and forgive you your sins: He that obeys Allah and His Messenger, has already attained the highest achievement. (Al-Ahzab: 70-71) Thereafter: This is a message to every Muslim who loves the Prophet, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him. I begin it with the eternal greeting of Islam: As-Salaamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuhu. The status of the Prophet, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, in the souls of the Muslims is higher, bigger, and more glorious than to be harmed by these people, when Allah has raised his memory and value and raised his stature. Allah the Almighty said in His Book: أ ل م ن ش ر ح ل ك ص د ر ك و و ض ع ن ا ع نك و ز ر ك الاذ ي أ نق ض ظ ه ر ك و ر ف ع ن ا ل ك ذ ك ر ك Have We not expanded thee thy breast? And removed from thee thy burden which did gall thy back? And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)? (Al-Inshirah : 1-4) Only Allah knows how pleased we were by the popular uprising that began in the various Islamic countries to support and defend our Prophet, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, since that was a spontaneous uprising in which the Muslim peoples expressed the extent of rage and harm that afflicted them from the successive offenses against the Prophet, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him. The Muslim peoples emphasized the saying of the martyr Imam Usama bin Laden, may Allah have mercy on him: If your freedom of speech has no constraints, then let your hearts widen for the freedom of our actions. The strongest response to this bad, offending film came from the sons of Umar al-mukhtar, the heroes of proud Libya, may Allah give them the best reward for Islam and the Muslims. 2
The picture of the American ambassador dead in Benghazi will remain, Allah willing, eternally in the memory of heroic battles where the Muslims defended the seal of the Prophets, for whom I sacrifice my father and mother. And if it were not for the governments and regimes standing in the face of the Muslim masses, we would have seen scenes with more than what had occurred in Libya. After the Muslim Yemeni people moved toward the American embassy to support the Prophet of guidance, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, the regular forces protected it, and even they allowed them to bring marines to protect their embassy and to kill everyone who comes near to it. And we saw the same scene in Egypt, after hundreds were injured in front of the wall of the American embassy in Cairo. And in the land of the two Niles, three of the sons of Islam and the grandsons of the men who killed Gordon Pasha were martyred. And that unfortunate scene is repeated tragically in all the Islamic countries, as though the governments and regimes are not concerned with offending our Prophet and beloved Muhammad, may Allah's best prayers and full peace be upon him. And if those scenes portrayed one of these kings or presidents, it would have been another matter. Where are we, O Muslims, from the saying of the Prophet, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, to Umar bin al-khattab: ل و الاذ ي ن ف س ي ب ي د ه ح تاى أ ك ون أ ح ا إ ل ي ك م ن ن ف س ك No, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, (you will not have complete faith) till I am dearer to you than your own self. What has been done by the heroes of Libya is the least response that Muslim peoples could offer for mocking our role model, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him. If it were left to the governments and regimes, they would not move unless a king or president were subjected to offense by even one word. Only then, the response would come in minutes by withdrawing an ambassador or expelling their ambassador or closing the embassy, as we have seen repeatedly in many Arab countries. And the pure Muslim youth remember the stance of Muadh and Muawwadh - may Allah be pleased with them at the Battle of Badr. Abd al-rahman bin Auf - may Allah be pleased with him - reported: أ ناو ق ال ب ي ن ا أ ن ا و اق ف ف ي ال اصف ي و م ب د ر ن ظ ر ت ع ن ي م ين ي و ش م ال ي ف إ ذ ا أ ن ا ب ي ن غ ال م ي ن م ن ا ل ن ص ار ح د يث ة أ س ن ان ه م ا ت م ناي ت ل و ك ن ت ب ي ن أ ض ل ع م ن ه م ا ف غ م ز ن ي أ ح د ى م ا. ف ق ال ي ا ع م ى ل ت ع ر ف أ ب ا ج ه ل ق ال ق ل ت ن ع م و م ا ح اج ت ك إ ل ي و ي ا اب ن أ خ ي ق ال أ خ ب ر ت أ ناو ي س ر س ول اللاو صلى اهلل عليو وسلم و الاذ ي ن ف س ي ب ي د ه ل ئ ن ر أ ي ت و ل ي ف ار ق س و اد ي س و اد ه ح تاى ي م وت ا ل ع ج ل م ناا. ق ال ف ت ع اجب ت ل ذ ل ك ف غ م ز ن ي اآلخ ر ف ق ال م ث ل ه ا - ق ال - ف ل م أ ن ش أ ن ن ظ ر ت إ ل ى أ ب ي ج ه ل ي ز ول ف ي النااس ف ق ل ت أ ل ت ر ي ان ى ذ ا ص اح ب ك م ا الاذ ي ت س أ ل ن ع ن و ق ال ف اب ت د ر اه 3
ف ض ر ب اه ب س ي ف ي ه م ا ح تاى ق ت ال ه ث ام ان ص ر ف ا إ ل ى ر س ول اللاو صلى اهلل عليو وسلم ف أ خ ب ر اه. ف ق ال " أ ي ك م ا ق ت ل و ". ف ق ال ك ل و اح د م ن ه م ا أ ن ا ق ت ل ت. ف ق ال " ى ل م س ح ت م ا س ي ف ي ك م ا". ق ا ل ل. ف ن ظ ر ف ي ال اسي ف ي ن ف ق ال " ك ال ك م ا ق ت ل و ". و ق ض ى ب س ل ب و ل م ع اذ ب ن ع م ر و ب ن ال ج م وح و الارج ال ن م ع اذ ب ن ع م ر و ب ن ال ج م وح و م ع اذ اب ن ع ف ر اء. While I was standing in the battle array on the Day of Badr, I looked towards my right and my left, and found myself between two boys from the Ansar quite young in age. I wished I were between stronger persons. One of them made a sign to me and said: Uncle, do you recognise Abu Jahl? I said: Yes. What do you want to do with him, O my nephew? He said: I have been told that he abuses the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). By Allah, in Whose Hand is my life, if I see him (I will grapple with him) and will not leave him until one of us who is destined to die earlier is killed. The narrator said: I wondered at this. Then the other made a sign to me and said similar words. Soon after I saw Abu Jahl. He was moving about among men. I said to the two boys: Don't you see? He is the man you were inquiring about. (As soon as they heard this), they dashed towards him, struck him with their swords until he was killed. Then they returned to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and informed him (to this effect). He asked: Which of you has killed him? Each one of them said: I have killed him. He said: Have you wiped your swords? They said: No. He examined their swords and said: Both of you have killed him. He then decided that the belongings of Abu Jahl be handed over to Muadh bin Amr bin al-jamuh. And the two boys were Muadh bin Amr bin al-jamuh and Muadh ibn Afra. And we call the Muslims to continue and take example of the knights of Libya until every hand that tried to gain from our Prophet is cut off and is a lesson for them and those who come after them, with Allah the Almighty's permission. And I conclude with the saying of Hassan bin Thabit - may Allah be pleased with him - defending the Prophet, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him: [Poetry] ىجوت محمدا فأجبت عنو * * * وعند اهلل في ذاك الجزاء * * * رسول اهلل شيمتو الوفاء * * * لعرض محمد منكم وقاء ىجوت محمدا برا حنيفا فإن أبي والده وعرضي You mocked Muhammad, *** and I respond on his behalf by seeking reward for that from Allah You mocked Muhammad, the pious, the righteous, *** the true-hearted messenger of Allah My father and his father and my honor *** are a shield for the honor of Muhammad 4
Until Hassan bin Thabit - may Allah be pleased with him - said: [Poetry] وقال اهلل قد أرسلت عبدا * * * يقول الحق ليس بو خفاء * * * ىم ا لنصار عرضتها اللقاء * * * سباب أو قتال أو ىجاء وقال اهلل قد يسرت جندا لنا في كل يوم من معد فمن يهجو رسول اهلل منكم * * * ويمدحو وينصره سواء وجبريل رسول اهلل فينا * * * وروح القدس ليس لوكفاء Allah said, I have sent a servant *** speaking the clear truth And Allah said, I have facilitated soldiers, *** they are the Ansar on the battlefield Every day, we have from Ma'ad *** insults, fighting, or mockery So whoever among you mocks the messenger of Allah *** or praises him or supports him are the same Jibril, the messenger of Allah, is among us, *** and the Holy Spirit has no match. And our last prayer is praise be to Allah, and may Allah's prayers, peace, and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and all of his family and companions.
