DECLARATION OF WAR AGAINST
THE AMERICANS OCCUPYING THE
LAND OF THE TWO HOLY PLACES
USAMA BIN LADEN
(PART 3 OF 3)
http://snakefist.tripod.com/declaration3.htm
Due to all of that, what ever treaty you have with our country is now
null and void. The treaty of Hudaybiyyah was cancelled by the
messenger of Allah (Allah's Blessings and Salutations may be on him)
once Quraysh had assisted Bani Bakr against Khusa'ah , the allies of
the prophet (Allah's Blessings and Salutations may be on him). The
prophet (Allah's Blessings and Salutations may be on him) fought
Quraysh and concurred Makka. He (Allah's Blessings and Salutations may
be on him) considered the treaty with Bani Qainuqa' void because one
of their Jews publicly hurt one Muslim woman, one single woman, at the
market. Let alone then, the killing you caused to hundred of thousands
Muslims and occupying their sanctities. It is now clear that those who
claim that the blood of the American solders (the enemy occupying the
land of the Muslims) should be protected are merely repeating what is
imposed on them by the regime; fearing the aggression and interested
in saving themselves. It is a duty now on every tribe in the Arab
Peninsula to fight, Jihad, in the cause of Allah and to cleanse the
land from those occupiers. Allah knows that there blood is permitted
(to be spilled) and their wealth is a booty; their wealth is a booty
to those who kill them.
The most Exalted said in the verse of AsSayef, The Sword: {so when the
sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters where ever you
find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for
them in every ambush} (AtTauba; 9:5).
Our youths knew that the humiliation suffered by the Muslims as a
result of the occupation of their sanctities can not be kicked and
removed except by explosions and Jihad. As the poet said: The walls of
oppression and humiliation cannot be demolished except in a rain of
bullets The freeman does not surrender leadership to infidels and
sinners Without shedding blood no degradation and branding can be
removed from the forehead I remind the youths of the Islamic world,
who fought in Afghanistan and Bosnia Herzegovina with their wealth,
pens, tongues and themselves that the battle had not finished yet. I
remind them about the talk between Jibreel (Gabriel) and the messenger
of Allah (Allah's Blessings and Salutations may be on both of them)
after the battle of Ahzab when the messenger of Allah (Allah's
Blessings and Salutations may be on him) returned to Medina and before
putting his sword aside; when Jibreel (Allah's Blessings and
Salutations may be on him) descend saying: "are you putting your sword
aside? by Allah the angels haven't dropped their arms yet; march with
your companions to Bani Quraydah, I am (going) ahead of you to throw
fears in their hearts and to shake their fortresses on them". Jibreel
marched with the angels (Allah's Blessings and Salutations may be on
them all), followed by the messenger of Allah (Allah's Blessings and
Salutations may be on him) marching with the immigrants, Muhajeroon,
and supporters, Ansar. (narrated by AlBukhary). These youths know
that: if one is not to be killed one will die (any way) and the most
honourable death is to be killed in the way of Allah. They are even
more determined after the martyrdom of the four heroes who bombed the
Americans in Riyadh. Those youths who raised high the head of the
Ummah and humiliated the Americansthe occupier by their operation in
Riyadh. They remember the poetry of Ja'far, the second commander in
the battle of Mu'tah, in which three thousand Muslims faced over a
hundred thousand Romans: How good is the Paradise and its nearness,
good with cool drink But the Romans are promised punishment (in Hell),
if I meet them I will fight them. And the poetry of Abdullah Bin
Rawaha, the third commander in the battle of Mu'tah, after the
martyrdom of Ja'far, when he felt some hesitation: O my soul if you do
not get killed, you are going to die, anyway. This is death pool in
front of you! You are getting what you have wished for (martyrdom)
before, and you follow the example of the two previous commanders you
are rightly guided! As for our daughters, wives, sisters and mothers
they should take prime example from the prophet (Allah's Blessings and
Salutations may be on him) pious female companions, may Allah be
pleased with them; they should adopt the life style (Seerah) of the
female companions of courage, sacrifice and generosity in the cause of
the supremacy of Allah's religion. They should remember the courage
and the personality of Fatima, daughter of Khatab, when she accepted
Islam and stood up in front of her brother, Omar Ibn AlKhatab and
challenged him (before he became a Muslim) saying: "O Omar , what will
you do if the truth is not in your religion?!" And to remember the
stand of Asma', daughter of Abu Bakr, on the day of Hijra, when she
attended the Messenger and his companion in the cave and split her
belt in two pieces for them. And to remember the stand of Naseeba Bent
Ka'b striving to defend the messenger of Allah (Allah's Blessings and
Salutations may be on him) on the day of Uhud, in which she suffered
twelve injuries, one of which was so deep leaving a deep lifelong
scar! They should remember the generosity of the early woman of Islam
who raised finance for the Muslims army by selling their jewellery.
Our women had set a tremendous example of generosity in the cause of
Allah; they motivated and encouraged their sons, brothers and husbands
to fight in the cause of Allah in Afghanistan, Bosnia Herzegovina,
Chechenya and in other countries. We ask Allah to accept from them
these deeds, and may He help their fathers, brothers, husbands and
sons. May Allah strengthen the belief Imaan of our women in the way of
generosity and sacrifice for the supremacy of the word of Allah. Our
women weep not, except over men who fight in the cause of Allah; our
women instigate their brothers to fight in the cause of Allah.
Our women bemoan only fighters in the cause of Allah, as said: Do not
moan on any one except a lion in the woods, courageous in the burning
wars Let me die dignified in wars, honourable death is better than my
current life Our women encourage to Jihad saying: Prepare yourself
like a struggler, the matter is bigger than words! Are you going to
leave us else for the wolves of Kufr eating our wings?! The wolves of
Kufr are mobilising all evil persons from every where! Where are the
freemen defending free women by the arms?! Death is better than life
in humiliation! Some scandals and shames will never be otherwise
eradicated.
My Muslim Brothers of The World:
Your brothers in Palestine and in the land of the two Holy Places are
calling upon your help and asking you to take part in fighting against
the enemy your enemy and their enemy the Americans and the Israelis.
they are asking you to do whatever you can, with one own means and
ability, to expel the enemy, humiliated and defeated, out of the
sanctities of Islam. Exalted be to Allah said in His book: { and if
they ask your support, because they are oppressed in their faith, then
support them!} (Anfaal; 8:72) O you horses (soldiers) of Allah ride
and march on. This is the time of hardship so be tough. And know that
your gathering and co-operation in order to liberate the sanctities of
Islam is the right step toward unifying the word of the Ummah under
the banner of "No God but Allah" ). From our place we raise our palms
humbly to Allah asking Him to bestow on us His guide in every aspects
of this issue.
Our Lord, we ask you to secure the release of the truthful scholars,
Ulama, of Islam and pious youths of the Ummah from their imprisonment.
O Allah, strengthen them and help their families. Our Lord, the people
of the cross had come with their horses (soldiers)and occupied the
land of the two Holy places. And the Zionist Jews fiddling as they
wish with the AlAqsa Mosque, the route of the ascendance of the
messenger of Allah (ALLAH'S BLESSING AND SALUTATIONS ON HIM). Our
Lord, shatter their gathering, divide them among themselves, shaken
the earth under their feet and give us control over them; Our Lord, we
take refuge in you from their deeds and take you as a shield between
us and them Our Lord, show us a black day in them! Our Lord, show us
the wonderment of your ability in them! Our Lord , You are the
Revealer of the book, Director of the clouds, You defeated the allies
(Ahzab); defeat them and make us victorious over them. Our Lord, You
are the one who help us and You are the one who assist us, with Your
Power we move and by Your Power we fight. On You we rely and You are
our cause. Our Lord, those youths got together to make Your religion
victorious and raise Your banner. Our Lord, send them Your help and
strengthen their hearts. Our Lord, make the youths of Islam steadfast
and descend patience on them and guide their shots! Our Lord, unify
the Muslims and bestow love among their hearts! Our Lord, pour down
upon us patience, and make our steps firm and assist us against the
unbelieving people! Our Lord, do not lay on us a burden as Thou didst
lay on those before us; Our Lord, do not impose upon us that which we
have no strength to bear; and pardon us and grant us protection and
have mercy on us, Thou art our patron, so help us against the
unbelieving people. Our Lord, guide this Ummah, and make the right
conditions (by which) the people of your obedience will be in dignity
and the people of disobedience in humiliation, and by which the good
deeds are enjoined and the bad deeds are forebode. Our Lord, bless
Muhammad, Your slave and messenger, his family and descendants, and
companions and salute him with a (becoming) salutation. And our last
supplication is: All praise is due to Allah .
