And Takes He Martyrs from among You Rajab,1431 The American occupation ofthe Arabian Peninsula in 1991 ... The Mujahideen's readiness to liberate it in 2009 ... Commentator: It has been years since the land of faith, the south of the Arabian Peninsula, changed to be a court for jihad and martyrdom-seeking. It has become a face to face confrontation with the global Zionist-Crusader campaigns. From the place where sheikh Abu-Ali al-Harithi has been killed, his followers continued the path once more. They have pledged allegiance to death and agreed upon revenge, after the Americans and their agents thought that they have put out the blaze of jihad, and that those enkindling it have completely gone. Here has been killed our brother abu-Ali al-Harithi (may Allah have mercy upon him). [Martyr leader: Hamza al-Q'eiti] Whether it was by the American troops or by the troops of the apostate puppet regime here; it makes no difference but what we care about is revenge. Commentator: The dreams of Americans have collapsed quickly, and the gap which sheikh abu-Ali al-Harithi has left us is no longer there. It was filled up by sincere faithful men who were educated by the first Muslim generation after dry ages where blood was rare, and there has been no master of martyrs who can bid the ruler to follow Islamic doctrines and push him firmly toward justice. Nasheed: They succeeded to accomplish goals that have been thought unreachable ... But, Allah willing, the coming victory is in Hejaz and Nejd; shall cause America to forget the horrors of Vietnam and the horrors of Beirut, by Allah's will. The American warship: CALL The American embassy in Sana'a News report: We cannot allow Yemen to be a darting place for the al-Qaeda attacks on other countries in the area or on the USA. Senator Jolly Perman said that an American living in Yemen told him on a visit last summer that Iraq represents the war of yesterday, Afghanistan represents the war of today, but Yemen will be the stage ofthe war oftomorrow. [Martyr: Abu-Yaqeen al-Qusaimi] As for the Americans, I say to them "Put in mind that by killing our brother Waddah and other brethren Mane'e, Yasser, Salah, and Abdul-Rahman, you've been entangled with people who see revenge but reaping heads, and breaking into your fortresses by booby-trapped cars; then be glad with what will harm you, you the enemies of Allah! Put in mind that we have vowed our souls to be for the sake of Allah the Almighty and to revenge for our brethren whom you have killed everywhere.
Trainer on jihad campus: That way... concentrate ... regular walking. Commentator: With this seriousness, and after many sacrifices, it was not a surprise for the Arabian Peninsula to convert from a pleasure trip to a nightmare for Americans, and to erupt from it the end for the fiercest Crusader campaigns ever known. It is true that its knights have typed on every stage of conflicts lines of jihad which history cannot fully render except exactly as they are. Because of the occupants' knowledge about this bright history, and because they have tasted its bitterness, they have gone through all means with their agents to stop the stream to flow, or at least to divert its path. The society that is provoked by a tank, and whose people have proved resistant to the occupants and their agents, it is fair to humiliate and subjugate them, and defame the picture of jihad in the minds of its people with other means; as it has been said about Prophet Mohammad that he was a magician and an insane, and that the Qur'an is but ancient tales he has re-written. It has been said about the mujahideen and the martyrs that they are corrupters and destroyers, and they are very far from Islam; and the third thing that saddens the heart is that they are agents of the Huthi group and Iran, the Magi rafidhah (Shiites rejecting some principles of Islam). [Martyr leader: Abu-Abdullah al-Muhajir1 Until what time would you be steadily unconscious, oh Muslims! You're keeping hopes in the unfaithful puppet rulers of the area; and believing their lies about the mujahideen being agents for Iran. We bear witness before Allah we are innocent of those lies. Everyone knows well about the discipline of the jihad organization regarding every oppressor and apostate, and our disavowal and renounce toward every enemy of Allah and His Messenger. I am here to ask you, by Allah, who has stood against the danger of the rafidhah in Iraq, and turned away their attacks on the Sunnis?! It is but the faithful mujahideen. No one defends the Sunnis but the mujahideen who reject humiliation and refuse to be low about their religion. On the contrary, their resolutions are firm, aiming at purifying all the lands of Islam from the Zionists, the Crusaders, and their agents. Sheikh Osama bin Ladin (May Allah accept Him as a Martyr): The means to make Truth prevail are of jihad in the way of Allah; and the means to extinguish Falsehood are of jihad in the way of Allah; and the means to drive back the assaults of infidels are of jihad in the way of Allah; and jihad is of the five pillars on which the heart of the greatest religion stands. Commentator: It is with this high voice over the inferior sides of life, the glow of Truth has not been extinguished, and its beams have not been banned by the old or new screens of Falsehood. On the contrary, its beams have reached every believing heart that is alive looking for it; as Afghanistan and other frontlines have known many of the knights of the Arabian Peninsula, who have head for them aiming at preparation for jihad and martyrdom-seeking.
Nasheed: Oh, the lands of revelation, keep patience! Abu-Abdullah al-Muhajir is one of the knights of the Arabian Peninsula, whose feet have been covered with dust in various frontlines: in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, then the Arabian Peninsula. There is nothing to push him toward these long journeys that are full of dangers and obstacles except defending the sacred places and restoring the ruling of Allah on earth, and at all levels reaching martyrdom in the way of Allah. He had migrated to Afghanistan and joined its camps of preparation and training before there was any other land ready for such a project, and amid a time when the number of those looking for jihad was few. The suggestions to get Muslims out of their crises have been many, but most of them were far from curing the wounds; so al-Muhajir and many of the knights of the ummah (Muslim people) chose the solution of shari'ah through which the conditions of Muslims can only change. AI-Muhajir was one of those who left Afghanistan, while the heroes of September were few steps far from the twin towers. Nasheed: Destroy the injustice of darkness ... And precede the convoys of sublimity ... and present all precious things ... The twin towers collapsed, and with them collapsed most of the forged masks. Most of the Muslim youth have passed over many obstacles that were preventing them from joining jihad. Most of them carried their luggage and went on board of vehicles and ships heading for the fields of tourism, jihad as identified by Prophet Mohammad (peace and blessings be upon him): Tourism of my ummah is jihad in the way of Allah. Some ofthem have succeeded to enter and cross the borders, and some have not, as Abu-Abdullah alMuhajir, whom the incidents have urged to return; however, what has been easy and possible have turned to be difficult if not impossible. The gates of Afghanistan have been closed in front of al-Muhajir, and other new gates have been opened for him. On his way back to the lands of the two sacred mosques, the prisons of the Syrian intelligent forces have been waiting for him and many other immigrants in the way of Allah among whom was sheikh Eissa al-Oushan (may Allah have mercy upon him) who was killed at the hands of the Saudi regime later on. AI-Muhajir has remained for a year in the Syrian prisons experiencing all kinds of pain that every prisoner experiences at the hands of any oppressor. He was then handed over to the first supporter of the Crusader campaigns, the Saudi regime. How could it be possible to stop fighting them after all the crimes they had committed against their religion and people?! How could we stop fighting them after they had forced the mujahideen to leave their homes and lands?! How could it not be an obligation on us and the whole ummah to fight and kill them while they have gone further in profaning sanctities and capturing the Muslim women?! There was no reason for imprisoning al-Muhajir by the Saudi regime except for jihad and resisting the American occupation, which is in their laws and conventions an unforgivable crime. He remained in their prisons until time came for release and he left the prisons of cheaters. However, his condition was not the same when he entered. The yearning for joining the jihad and dignity battlefields has become more powerful and engaged all his heart. The worldly life has been opened for him, and then the life hereafter was opened for him. He got married, and then things became easy for him to travel to the new struggle stage, Iraq.
Nasheed: Baghdad, never get sad ... Never get sad and increase my sadness ••• And say "no" to infidels ••• America has broken into Iraq, and after that abu-Abdullah al-Muhajir travelled there six months after his marriage. Before and after him are many of the knights of martyrdom, on whose sacrifices have the Islamic State been built; some with their blood and others with their efforts and endeavors. AI-Muhajir has been contemporary with many of the incidents of Iraq, and he has joined making some of them. He has been a knight of these incidents; a knight who challenges the impossible. Before his eyes has the legend of the greatest power collapsed; a knight whose fingerprints have not escaped many of the scenes. Among them has been the most wonderful scene he used to wish for. It is the establishment of an Islamic state ruling according to Shari'ah: proving loyal to every Faithful, and treating every infidel as an enemy. He has been the best of knights and the best of guards. [Voice of Abu-Umar ai-Baghdadi] May Allah brighten your faces as you have brightened the faces of Sunnis! By Allah, the afflictions have proved you are of the best characters on earth in purity, transparency, and steadfastness. Commentator: The sufferings of Iraqis have not stopped at the American occupation, but there have been other hands outdoors, which supply this enemy with means of subsistence. They are hands that need to be cut at the joints, and heads that need to be harvested. That is why the thoughts of al-Muhajir have not been confined to the artificial borders, but his plans and preparations have passed them to reach the heart of the Islamic world. It was not al-Muhajir only in this big project, which is to expel the polytheists from the Arabian Peninsula, but many of the knights of the ummah were with him; on top of them was the Emir of the Islamic State of Iraq, Abu-Umar ai-Baghdadi. Nasheed: For war I have compiled all weapons and equipments ••• AI-Muhajir went to the Sunnis in Lebanon after he had recorded many legends in Iraq. It was the third station of preparation and training, and a darting spot from which he could go back to the Arabian Peninsula. He joined specialized courses in explosives manufacturing in Lebanon. He used to sit and get benefit from the Nahr al-Barid groove; where the Jews, the rafidhah, and the Crusaders have been united against the Sunnis. While he was occupied with the lessons and working hard to develop his military experiences, the commands arrived from Afghanistan signaling that time is due to join his mujahideen brethren in the Arabian Peninsula. Nasheed: Admiring jihad has flowed in all my veins and arteries ••• I made cheap my blood in the way for jihad •••
The arrival of al-Muhajir to the Arabian Peninsula has not been like the arrival of others. He arrived and with him was a rich biography of sacrifice and jihad; a biography that has been engraved with steadfastness, despite the many afflictions, obstacles, and temptations. He used to assist the mujahideen and not waiting for them to assist him; and he has put a heavy load off the shoulders of the mujahideen. It is few who do like him. AI-Muhajir has not rested and his giving has not stopped. His imprints have been clear in various frontlines of jihadi acts in the Arabian Peninsula, whether in administration or military work. He used to be serene and patient unless there was a need. [Voice of Abu-Abdullah al-Muhajir1 It is as what one of the lions of Islam and the guards of the heart of religion did; like what the brave lion-like, Abul-Khair Aseery (may Allah have mercy upon him) whose message has been with his blood before his pen. He was one of the council for the blessed operation of Abul-Khair. Abul-Khair was one who benefitted from the directions and advices of al-Muhajir. Abul-Khair went for his operation, and with him went out the tears of al-Muhajir, because many have preceded him in martyrdom and meeting Allah. Two of his brothers have been killed in Iraq. He did not know at that time that martyrdom was having an appointment with him and abu-Yaqeen al-Qassimi whom sheikh Ibrahim al-Rubaish has described as the righteous mate, the advice-giving friend, and the one memorizing Qur'an by heart. Defending the oppressed among Muslims was not the target of al-Muhajir alone, but with him was abuYaqeen al-Qassimi, whose reasons to migrate to Afghanistan were not different from those of al-Muhajir, except in more of the wounds of Muslims. Both of them were originally from Buraidah, which have given birth to many righteous Islamic scholars who feel pain with the pains of Muslims, and the mujahideen who do not fear death no matter how long the fierce wheels of war kept running. Abu-Yaqeen went to Afghanistan with his companion sheikh Ibrahim al-Rubaish after destroying the American warship, Call; an operation that took place as retaliation for the unbound American support for the Jewish Israelis. At al-Farouq camp began an intensive program for war preparation, aiming at getting the Ummah out of the humiliation that attacked them; and amid a period when history was getting ready for the September raids, when the nineteen martyrs restored in our hearts and minds what had been lost. Nasheed: It is the army of Muslims with full trust in Allah ••• Abu-Yaqeen watched the great episode of September in Afghanistan; an episode whose goals are not different from those of destroying the Call warship, and other operations against the global infidelity. He also lived in Afghanistan the shocks of airstrikes and the horrors of bombs with all its types, whether the ton or the cluster bombs, which the global infidelity power have blown the oppressed Afghans with. Not far from September 11th was a great incident that those mountains were waiting for. It was the famous Turabura battlefield. Aby-Yaqeen was one ofthose mountains. Who was steadfast in front ofthe fiercest American attacks ever? Especially after they had known that sheikh Osama was leading those mountains.
[Voice of sheikh Osama bin Ladin (May Allah accept Him as a Martyr)] It was on the morning of Ramadan 17th began the heavy strikes, especially after the American forces had been sure about the presence of some of al-Qaeda leaders in Turabura, among them were the poor servant to Allah (I) and brother mujahid Dr. Ayman al-Zawahery. The strikes were around the dock. No second even passed without a warplane over us day and night. The sum up of the battlefield was the great failure of the global evil alliances with all their power. They were against a small group of mujahideen. They were 300 mujahideen in their trenches in about a square mile and in a temperature of ten degrees below the freezing point. It is especially at this time when his peers are few ... Commentator: Turabura has not been the only distinct mark in the bright biography of abu-Yaqeen, but another mark has been dearer. It was the Guantanamo detention camp, the school of Yusuf, (peace be upon him), after he had been arrested by the puppet Pakistani forces, who handed him over to America, and then the Americans forced him out to Guantanamo. It was a journey which from beginning to end has not been in the calculations of any humankind, because the procedures exercised by the Americans cannot be exercised by humans. Nasheed: Were you besieged and forced to the confessional chairs? Never allow oppressors to suppress you. Abu-Yaqeen has been afflicted with many loads which mountains could not bear, the same way others were. It was many a times was he exposed to torture and pain. He could have avoided all this, except for his strong loyalty to his faithful brethren. Sheikh Ibrahim al-Rubaish who was his mate in Guantanamo said, "I cannot forget what happened when the brethren in the neighboring prison cell were punished. Abu-yaqeen and some brethren protested at this. He was punished by six officers who chained him and carried him on their backs to shave his hair and beard. Another time when abu-Yaqeen was in the collective camp while other brethren were in great harm in the solitary camps; He then went on strike with some brethren and caused some trouble to back up with them. Then the Americans took them to the punishment cells to taste what their brethren tasted". American captives by the Mujahideen. These operations, explosions, and victories which the mujahideen have been performing used to reach the ears ofthe Guantanamo captives despite the far distance and the ultimate reservation about them. However, lowering the American flag told them about some revenge against the Americans was taking place beyond the oceans. Those operations have been the reason behind setting many of the captives free, when the Americans became sure that the fuel of those blessed operations was the Guantanamo captives. It is from here, from the path of jihad and combat only did the relief come to abu-Yaqeen after five years of imprisonment, which were adorned with steadfastness and high principles. It was when America submitted to hand them over to their ally, the Saudi regime, to live in their prisons new chapters of tests. Abu-Yaqeen al-Qassimi: These are three months in your prisons, may Allah relieve me as my soul is imprisoned! I thought I would not be relieved, and I have been true since I saw religion humiliated by people ... And how could I be relieved while the Jews are always sharpening their knives, while we are getting fatter.
Commentator: There was no difference between the detention of abu-Yaqeen in Guantanamo and that in the Saudi prisons. He was a prisoner for one reason and one issue and by one administration even if names and figures appear different. It is not easy for the Americans and their allies to pull up the roots of faith if they were fastened, or to change the concepts of the mujahideen to be from honorable mujahideen to retreaters, defeated ones, or agents. For that reason, America and the puppet regimes have not found any means other than changing their ways in treating the captives. From torturing, banishment, and chase to warm welcome, debates, negotiations, and advice giving. Instructor at a care and advice-giving center: The whole world now is talking about jihad. Does Islam mean with jihad to see the red blood?! As some say that Islam is a religion of blood and terrorism. Do you agree on Islam being a religion of blood?! Certainly not! [Martyr Islamic scholar: Abdullah Azzam] Carrying the sword has become a crime. It has become an immoral thing of which we feel ashamed. Carrying weapons has become a wild savage act. Look, they, the Americans and the Westerners, are like a man wearing white clothes while slaughtering a goat; so if it shook its leg while taking the last breath and a drop of blood stained his clothes, then this goat is not decent or disciplined. We are the same. They want to slaughter us while they wear white clothes; so if we shook while we are taking our last breath, then we are savage. Look! They are wild. They are terrorists. They are uncivilized. They are from the jihad groups. Commentator: After months which abu-Yaqeen spent in the program of care and advice-giving, he was as if he had not joined any. He left while his faith about hijra {migration in the way of Allah} and jihad has never been shaken, despite the large numbers of desires and uncertain issues about religion which were presented to him. He went out when life was adorned for him. He got married and then had a daughter whom he named Yaqeen; a name that carries many of the meanings that this mountain used to bear. [Voice of abu-Yaqeen al-Qassimi] Oh, I wish I had an army and tie Bush as a hostage! I wish my horse of jihad tie me, while its rider is free and hates ignorance ••• By Allah, I do not keep silent or feel feeble if I heard that apostasy had appeared again among us ••• Shalll follow the agents who wish to make me fully ignorant about religion! To be a man with whose name he bites the floor while others defame him! Or die in the way of Truth and be contented and smile when I see the beautiful women of Paradise! I can remember when Allah graced us with release from Cuba, and I started to bid my mates farewell. I passed by one of them who shook hands with me and entrusted something to me. He said, "I entrust you to join the mujahideen.1 entrust you to join the most faithful among them". Who knows our brother Waddah would understand that he meant our sheikh, Osama bin Ladin {may Allah keep him safe}. Nasheed: Our lives and everything can become cheap, but our Islam can never be •••
Commentator: Abu-Yaqeen migrated to the mujahideen in the southern part ofthe Arabian Peninsula, and set down his luggage there with some of the knights of Guantanamo, among who was his mate in Afghanistan and in Guantanamo, sheikh Ibrahim al-Rubaish.They ignored the worldly life after it had adorned itself to them, and worked on demanding the life hereafter at all times. Whenever they heard a call for jihad, they hastened to it, aiming at death as they thought it to be there. Abu-Yaqeen joined the military work, and Allah graced him with joining some operations. He proved to be brave in them. Among them was kidnapping and killing the chief ofthe police and investigation unit in Ma'rib, the puppet chief Bassam al-Sharjamy. On 25th Rabi'e 1st in 1430 a.h., abu-Yaqeen dreamt that he would eat from the tree of martyrs after six months. He said that if this dream proved true, then he would be killed after six months. His interpretation of the dream was true. He was killed after he had broken his fasting and after he had performed the major ritual ablution and prepared himself. He was not alone, but martyrdom visited others who were with him. They were abu-Yusuf and abu-Abid al-Makki who stand as a model for the new generation. A generation who knows well about the Truth and abides by it. A generation who hates humiliation and fights it. A generation on whose blood, body remains, and sacrifices are built many of the conditions of Muslims. [Voice of shaheed: Abu-Abid al-Makki] My Muslim Ummah! Here are some words by one of your sons who does not agree with humiliation or lowliness for you. On the contrary, he has been born and started to see life while you have been in a weak condition known only by Allah. The Shari'ah has been lost on your lands; your lands have been occupied; your Prophet has been abused; your Qur'an has been profaned; your sanctities have been violated; your men, women, and children have been dislodged, captivated, and killed; you have even been ruled by apostate rulers who have been assigned by your enemies. Oh, all might and power is that of Allah! [Voice of sheikh: Osama bin Ladin] They are young men who have been living a comfortable life, but they have deserted this worldly life and adored the life hereafter. They are young in age. They have not even completed their second decade; however their swords are sharp, their spears are exact, and they have sober minds. Iraq was a stage for many incidents, after many enemies had invaded its lands. It was also a vent for many mujahideen, many ansar (patrons of Islam), and those seeking martyrdom. Commentator: Among them were abu-Yusuf and abu-Abid al-Makki who lived under the shade of the Islamic State of Iraq. Both of them joined many operations while they were there. This raid that was named after one of the Arabian Peninsula martyrs, abu-Yusuf was one of those who set its fire. As for al-Makki, he had not escaped the dignity of joining the Oyala and Samira'a operations when he was there. Nasheed: Our lives and everything can become cheap, but our Islam can never be ... Just as Iraq has been a home of victories and good news, and a home of pains and tragedies, it has been a training school and a place for graduating high caliber of fighters. [Voice of Abu-Umar AI-Baghdadi {may Allah have mercy upon him] We are now announcing the graduation of the greatest group of fighters ever in Iraq at the degree of officer mujahideen and meeting the high international qualifications.
Commentator: Both of them have attended many training courses there in different subjects, and they have had valuable experiences in guerrilla warfare and warfare in general. Abu-Yusuf has specialized in mortars and was an expert in it. He has been also a security expert at whose hands have many spies and agents been arrested. As for abu-Abid al-Makki, he has been specialized in booby-trapping and explosives. [Voice of martyr: Abu-Abid al-Makki] As for the young men of the Arabian Peninsula, I can add to my words the will of Prophet Mohammad (peace and blessings be upon him) before he died, "Expel the polytheists from the Arabian Peninsula". There can be not two religions in the Arabian Peninsula; how can we deal then with the will of our endeared Prophet! Do we not get ashamed when the prostitutes of the Romans come to defend us and our sanctities while we are the grandchildren of the Prophets' Companions?! Commentator: The heat of the war in Iraq has not made abu-Yusuf and abu-Abid forget the deep wound in the Arabian Peninsula. The pictures ofthe American soldiers while profaning the Arabian Peninsula, such painful pictures have acted as a linkage between them and abu-Abdullah al-Muhajir, who was at the time preparing for hijra to the Arabian Peninsula. Nasheed: Sun beams will come despite the clouds ••• And the birds would sing with that arrival ••• And we'd go together ••• Abu-Yusuf then moved before others to Yemen, the land of support and the breath of The Merciful. He was among those who received abu-Abid al-Makki who came after him after a journey that went through dangerous points. However, who keeps Allah in his heart, Allah keeps him as well; and who remembers Allah at the time of ease, Allah remembers him at the time of hardships. Our Qur'an is our leader, and its interpretation shines like stars ••• Both of them joined the mujahideen convoys, who have been working on ruling according to the Shari'ah of Allah, and on implementing the will of the Prophet to expel the polytheists from the Arabian Peninsula. He joined many of the operations that took place in Hadramaut. They were operations that weakened the agents, and that put them to recalculate their ways of dealing with the mujahideen. Both ofthem have been moving among different borderlines of war. Wherever they stepped into a place, you can hear about their obedience whether they were seniors or juniors, until time came to migrate up to Allah. With them was abu-Ata al-Hudaidi. Nasheed: We'd go together in our path ••• Abu-Ata al-Hudaidi has not been far from the environment out of which abu-Yaqeen, al-Muhajir, abu-Yusuf, and abu-Abid have emerged.
Abu-Ata al Hudaidi: It is democracy and their loyalty to Jews and Christians. They do not rule according to what Allah has revealed. They have tortured our mujahideen brethren. They tried to make them give up their creed and captured them. They even captured our sisters in jihad. They profaned honors and trespassed on sanctities: they abused Allah the Almighty and Prophet Mohammad (peace and blessings be upon him). There has been no one to stand against them, so we, the men of Islam God willing, stood to defend Prophet Mohammad. What do you think we can wait for? Shall we wait for Christians and Jews to come and defend our religion?! We are true men; we are mujahideen in the way of Allah. Commentator: He has been taught at the hands of the martyrdom-seeking sheikh, Sheikh Lotty Bahr, whose effect on him was not theoretical, as normal of many sheikhs and orators. Martyr sheikh: Lotfy Bahr: We have determined to make our words actions ... Commentator: His effect has been of something different. His lessons and lectures were not different from his actions; and his actions did not oppose his lessons and lectures. That is why the sheikh and his students were different in figures but with one heart. Abu-Ata memorized the Qur'an by heart at an early age. This memorization was a motive inside him toward hijra (migration in the way of Allah) and jihad; because he understood from his sheikh that Allah has not revealed the Qur'an to be memorized inside hearts only, but to be a governor among people. Recitation by Abu-Ata AI-Hudaidi: {And if they break their pledges after their treaty (has been made with you) and assail your religion, then fight the heads of disbelief; as they have no binding oaths - in order that they may desist. Will you not fight a folk who broke their solemn pledges, and purposed to drive out the Messenger and did attack you first? What! Fear you them? Now Allah has more right that you should fear Him if you are believers}. [Voice of martyr sheikh: Lotty Bahr] These Qur'anic verses and others, and the sayings of Prophet Mohammad that you know and read about are that which made the Companions of the Prophet (may Allah be pleased with them) to say these words: one said, "By Allah! I can find the smell of paradise at Uhud"; another said after he had been stabbed and his intestines came out, "By the God of the Ka'ba, I have won!" Some of them used to say, "If I lived to eat these dates, it would be a long life". Commentator: Abu-Ata has learned through his sheikh these meanings and others until were rooted inside his heart. He has been keen to teach his students these meanings as he learned them, and to root them in their hearts as they were rooted in his. When his sheikh preceded him in carrying the gun, abu-Ata did precede his students to hijra and jihad.
Abu-Ata AI-Hudaidi: I say to idols, "By Allah, everyone who attended Sheikh Lotfy's lessons will imitate him and act heroically exactly as he did". I have a message to the students whom I have taught them the Qur'an.1 ask them to forgive me and to march forth in the way of Allah, as the battlefields of jihad are waiting for them. Then hasten to the great Paradise. By Allah, dear students, life is like a passing shadow, and the life hereafter is that which benefits and is the immortal. Hurry up, the lovers of the pretty women of Paradise. Oh God! They are 72, so how would your hearts be then when you enter and see them?! This is an orange of the worldly life, my brethren! Oh Allah! How would be the oranges of Paradise?! It is true the names are alike, but as for the shapes, oh Allah! It is like what no one has ever seen, heard, or even thought of. Abu-Ata AI-Hudaidi: From al-Hudaida to Sana'a we write our messages in blood ••• Come and watch the blessings of Allah, and how America will regret about what they did ••• Commentator: The sheikh and his students accompanied by abu-Ata have begun the preparation to attack the American embassy, where many plots are hatched. They spent about three months in the preparation; when the time was full of moral and religious lessons. Ramadan started and the time was near to 17th. Time was due to choose who would carry out the operation. Sheikh Lotty (may Allah accept him as martyr) refused to give his place over to abu-Ata. He insisted on joining in the operation, and on his soul to be the first arrow. The Furqan day was not a normal day for abu-Ata as he lost his sheikh and his best mate. However, their martyrdom was not the end of the case for abu-Ata, as he knew about the saying of the Prophet that jihad is going on until the Day of Resurrection. Abu-Ata AI-Hudaidi: Since the brethren were killed in the American embassy (may Allah accept them as martyrs) I have not been in rest at all. I am always thinking of them. I wish we could join them. Commentator: Abu-Ata after a period of chasing by the American agents in Yemen has become able to join his mujahideen brethren, but with new heart and soul; a heart that wished to join the knights ofthe embassy. He asked for a martyrdom-seeking operation. His request was approved by his leader after his insistence. Abu-Ata AI-Hudaidi: I am very contented, oh Allah! By Allah, I can feel that great comfort and peace in my heart! I could feel someone inside me pushing me toward this martyrdom-seeking operation. I say to my brethren who used to say that jihad is in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine, and they are far; I say to them that jihad is now in the Arabian Peninsula; so catch the opportunity before time is over. Nasheed: The free men have made glory of me that brought great victory. Commentator: It was after a year of being chased by idols and of joining military operations against them, e.g. arresting the chief of Police and investigation unit Bassam al-Sharjami, the end of abu-Ata arrived as he wished it to be; but it was not a martyrdom-seeking operation. He left life after he said the shahada (There is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is the Messenger of Allah) for three times. He said it for three times. How many a times has he exerted every effort to reach one of them! Double its number reached him while he was a
steadfast who has never changed his heart abO~
Abu-Ata AI-Hudaidi: It is weapons my brethren; Allah is pleased with them. Martyr Sheikh Lotfy Bahr: To let you know that they are the mortal places of our heroes. None of them dies except with brave heart in battlefields. His death cannot be except in battlefields. How great is it to experience a death that pleases Allah the Almighty! {And those who are killed in the way of Allah, He renders not their actions vain. He will guide them and improve their condition; and bring them in unto the Garden which He has made known to them}. Nasheed: Oh you, the martyr who has enlightened our path with light and fire ••• ! Commentator: This is a story of some of the chosen ones whose opening chapters have been different; however, they united in the end and martyrdom. Allah has willed their end to be the same. Jihad and supporting the oppressed have united them, and martyrdom also has united them on the same day and in the same place and condition. It is from trenches and guarding the frontlines to the graves, and from the graves to Allah, to move about Paradise as they like. We think them to be martyrs and Allah knows best. Their lives came to an end after many hopes of Muslims had come true. Their lives came to an end after the mujahideen had become able to encompass the infidels and the agents, the same way the bracelet encompasses the wrist. Their lives came to an end after the jihad issue had become a case of all Muslims after it used to be that of the elites. It was on 25th Ramadan, 1430 a.h., while they were preparing a confrontation against the infidels and their agents in the Arabian Peninsula, did martyrdom visit them after long search and efforts. It was when a bomb exploded and its break ups attacked their chaste bodies to carry them up to Allah. A step that makes many distances short and defend them against many of the tests on Doomsday. [Sheikh Abdullah Azzam] Prophet Mohammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has informed us that he who went out in the way of Allah: he who put his feet in a vehicle aiming at departure: leaving his family, while his animal or vehicle stopped him and he died: meaning if his car or vehicle crashed and he died, or was stung by a snake or a scorpion and died, or died somehow, he is a martyr and Paradise is for him. Fudalah bin Uday was one day in the battlefield when a stone from a catapult attacked one of the mujahideen who was then killed and another one died naturally. Fudalah bin Uday stood at the head of the one who died naturally. The Companions and the followers of the Prophet then wandered, "Why have you stood at the head of the one who died naturally and left that of the martyr?!" He then said, "By Allah, I care not from which hole I am resurrected, from this or that, because Allah the Almighty says, {those who fled their homes for the cause of Allah
and then were killed or died, Allah verily will provide for them a good provision. And Allah verily is the best Giver of sustenance. Assuredly He will cause them to enter by an entry that they will love, and most surely Allah is Knowing, Forbearing}. So if Allah would make me enter by an entry I will love, and provide me with the best sustenance, then I would care not from which hole I am resurrected". Dear brethren, be faithful to Allah so He may accept your hijra; it is a high degree; and until He accepts your stationing, preparation, and jihad. All these are lofty degrees according to the Lord of the worlds. It is since you left your homes and lands and families, then you are on hijra, and wherever any of you dies he will be a martyr, and Paradise will be his reward.
