New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding the Passing Away of Prominent Jihādī Figure, Scholar, and Warrior Mawlawī Jalāl al-Dīn al-Haqqānī"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

الحمد لله الذي خلق السموات والأرض وجعل الظلمات والنور. خلق الموت والحياة ليبلوكم أيكم أحسن عملاً وهو العزيز الغفور. ونشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، ونشهد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمداً عبده ورسوله، الشافع المشفع يوم النشور، صلى الله وسلم وبارك عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين ومن تبعهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين. امابعد: قال الله تعالی: إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْتَابُوا وَجَاهَدُوا بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الصَّادِقُونَ. ۱۵ . الحجرات Only those are the believers who have believed in Allah and His Messenger, and afterward doubt not but strive with their wealth and their lives for the Cause of Allah. Those! They are the truthful. (Al-Hujuraat: 15) It is with great regret that we inform our believing Mujahid Afghan nation and the vast Islamic Ummah that the prominent Jihadi figure, religious scholar, exemplary warrior and pioneer of celebrated Jihads; the Minister of Frontiers during the reign of Islamic Emirate and member of the Leadership Council, the esteemed Al-Haj Mawlawi Jalaluddin Haqqani has passed away after a long battle with illness, surely to Allah we belong and to Him is the return. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan sends its condolence to the Jihad-loving family of his excellency Haqqani Sahib (may Allah have mercy on him) as well as all Mujahideen, the Afghan nation and Muslims worldwide. May Allah (SwT) accept all good deeds of Haqqani Sahib, may He (SwT) shower him with mercy and may He (SwT) accept his hardships, energies and displacements in the path of Jihad, Dawah (preaching), knowledge and reformation, Ameen O’ Lord of the Universe. The late Mawlawi Jalaluddin Haqqani Sahib was from among the great distinguished Jihadi personalities of this era. Just as the Mujahideen of early Islam were reassured and comforted by the presence and exploits of Khalid bin Walid (RA), truly the Mujahideen of this era also found reassurance and comfort in the presence and exploits of Haqqani Sahib. A time when our nation faced the dangers of atheist communism and the Islamic land of Afghanistan was under the threat of irreligiosity like Bukharah, Samarqand and Qawqaz, his excellency Haqqani Sahib and other honorable Mujahideen of that era took a stand against communist heresy. Their initial efforts through Dawah and propagation were aimed at awakening the nation and they later waged armed Jihad to eradicate communist disbelief following the communist coup d’état. His excellency Haqqani Sahib continued his Jihad against communists and the soviet invasion with deep conviction until complete victory. He then adopted the role of an armed and honest arbitrator during the civil war and when the Islamic Emirate arose, he – as a yearner of Islamic government – stood by the side of the esteemed Amir ul Mumineen Mullah Muhammad Omar Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) with complete sincerity and force while serving admirably in consolidating Islamic governance. The actions and exploits of Haqqani Sahib and his untiring efforts to keep the Islamic Emirate united in the face of American invasion are golden chapters of history which future Islamic generations shall forever be proud of. To summarize, the life and deeds of his excellency Haqqani Sahib are such noteworthy chronicles that can serve as a guiding light for any believer and committed Muslim. It is an epitome of sincere Jihad, sacrifice, steadfastness, determination, hardships in the path of religion and abstinence from worldly fame, office and opulence. What we can take away from the passing away of his excellency Haqqani Sahib is that he verified his character. The covenant which he had made towards his faith and religion, he remained true to it until his death. He was undoubtedly blessed because he defended his religion and Islamic values during an extremely harsh and testing period by playing an extraordinary role as a reviver of religious v alues. If his excellency Haqqani Sahib has departed us physically, his ideology and methodology continue to endure. His trench remains warm and a great Jihadi caravan like the Islamic Emirate continues treading his path. Mawlawi Jalaluddin Haqqani was ill and bed-ridden for the past several years. Just as he endured great hardships for the religion of Allah during his youth and health, he also endured long illness during his later years with complete patience and spirit of accepting predestination until he finally said Labbaik (at your service) to the caller of death. Regarding the passing away of the late Al-Haj Mawlawi Jalaluddin Haqqani Sahib, we ask all Mujahideen, common countrymen and Muslims worldwide to pray for his soul. He did great Ihsan (kindness/charity) with the Afghan nation and the entire Islamic Ummah through his activities. He stopped atheism and disbelief through his Jihadi struggle and therefore deserves we gift him hasanat (the good) of our prayers and Quran recitals. To end we once again pray for the soul of his excellency, the late Mawlawi Jalaluddin Haqqani Sahib – may Allah bless him with His Countenance and high ranks (in Jannah). Leaders and Leadership Council of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan ۴/۱۲/۱۴۳۹هـ ق ۱۳/۶/۱۳۹۷هـ ش ــ 2018/9/4م

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Aghanistan's Zabīh Allah Mujāhid: "Propaganda By the Kabul Interior Ministry About the Ghazni Battle Is Baseless"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q
Today the Kabul administration’s Interior Ministry once again issued a statement claiming that Pakistani Generals had participated in the operation of conquest of Ghazni and that bodies of Pakistani soldiers were left behind on the streets!!?
We categorically reject these rumors and propaganda being spread by the cowardly enemy.
The Jihadi battle of Ghazni was planned and executed by the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate while Divine Help and support of the people were its instruments.
Barring these facts, linking this battle to foreign countries or making claims about bodies left behind while lacking any proof are things with which the security apparatus of the Kabul administration seeks to mask their humiliation and divert attention from the issue.
If a foreign country is able to reach Ghazni, send troops or their Generals are able to plan and execute operations in the presence of American invaders and NATO forces and the most advanced technology of the world, then this makes the matter even more embarrassing and shameful for the entire administration in Kabul.
No one has witnessed the bodies of Pakistanis in the battle of Ghazni nor is there any proof of bodies being transferred to Pakistan. The propaganda material (pictures and videos) floating around in social media of old or of unrelated Pakistani events and it being used as evidence by Ashraf Ghani and other officials itself displays the extent of weakness and fear gripping the Kabul administration.
The Afghan nation understands that it is their sons – with insignificant tools and resources but strong faith and determination – who are resisting the invaders and their stooges. Associating the glories and achievements of this nation to foreign parties is national and historic treason which shall carry grave repercussions for the future, Allah willing.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Aghanistan’s Zabīh Allah Mujāhid: "Remarks Concerning Blasphemy Against Islam’s Prophet in Holland"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q
Reports have been published stating that another blasphemous step is going to be taken and a film is going to be released in Holland against the Great Prophet of Islam (SAW).
The Islamic Emirate strongly condemns such offensive intentions and plans by the enemies of Islam.
At the same time it calls on all Islamic countries, Islamic Conference, international organizations and and other influential parties to stop such blasphemous actions against the Prophet of Islam (SAW) and offending the emotions of Muslims.
These acts are actions that create hatred between communities, opens way for instability and confrontation between religions and cannot be justified under any excuse.
The enemies of Islam must understand that such acts have no benefits and only serve to expose their true satanic and deceptive nature and at the same time can never damage the great and sublime status of the Prophet of Islam (SAW).

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Aghanistan’s Zabīh Allah Mujāhid: "Nicholson again fed misinformation to the American public about Trump’s Strategy"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

l_DzlA8Q
Reports were published that the failed commander of the American invading forces, General John Nicholson, gave a press briefing from Kabul to reporters in Washington about the futile strategy of Trump and described it as successful. This despite the fact that the Afghans and the entire world has understood that the American President’s (Trump) strategy for Afghanistan has failed and has resulted in nothing other than using terror and horror against the civilian population, bombing common people and homes, razing clinics, religious seminaries, schools, mosques, bazaars and public utility places and putting the tyrannical face of America on display.
The areas that were under the control of Islamic Emirate continue to remain under the control of Mujahideen while even more areas have been liberated from the grip of occupation.
The enemy casualties have increased multifold, their expenditure has ballooned and the Kabul administration has taken further steps in corruption, instability, feuds and disagreements while having no achievements.
The conquests of Farah and Ghazni along with conquests of 23 districts and other advances following the announcement of Trump’s strategy have shown that in spite of using all might and tools at her disposal, America has failed in propping up their stooges to an extent where they can quell the national uprising and resistance of the Afghan people and implement plans of the invaders.
The insistence of American Generals to continue feeding misinformation to the American public through media channels even after the perpetuated series of failures shows that just as the American Generals have failed militarily against the Afghan people, they similarly run away from their responsibility towards the American people and seek to continue this failed war in detriment to American interests because the tax money of the American people allocated to this war go to the personal pockets of American military mafia circles.
The Islamic Emirate once again calls on the American people – while analyzing the failed one-year-old Trump strategy – to end the killing of their children in this pointless war and stop spending their hard earned money in such futile and unwinnable conflicts.
The time has come for the American congress, American people, American civil society and American media to understand the realities instead of listening to the lies of their military generals and officials and to rescue America from this destructive and fruitless war.
