A Message to the People of Pakistan
1430-2009
Sheikh Usama bin Laden- may Allah protect him -بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Indeed all praise is due to Allah. We praise Him, we seek His help and we seek forgiveness in Him. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our souls and the evil effects of our actions. Whosoever Allah guides, there is none who can misguide him, and whosoever He misguides, none can guide him. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and messenger. To proceed:
My brother Muslims in Pakistan, As-Salamu alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu.
I wish to speak to you about the war taking place between the Pakistan army and the Mujahidoon in the tribal areas. The Messenger of Allah (r) said:
« لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى يحب لأخيه ما يحب لنفسه »
“None of you will truly believe until they love for their brothers what they love for themselves.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
Indeed I love for you what I love for myself, and the most I love for myself is that I am saved from Hellfire and admitted into Paradise, for indeed this is the greatest success. I ask Allah to make us from its inhabitants. This is what I love for you, and this is what I need from you.
O slaves of Allah, we are all in this world in order to be tires and tested, Ponder over the saying of Allah:
﴿ الم * أحسب الناس أن يتركوا أن يقولوا آمنا وهم لا يفتنون * ولقد فتنا الذين من قبلهم فليعلمن الله الذين صدقوا وليعلمن الكاذبين ﴾
“Alif Laam Meem. Do people think that they will be left alone because they say, ‘We believe,’ without being tested? Indeed we tested those before them, so that Allah makes it known who are the truthful and makes it known who are the liars.” (Al-Ankaboot: 1-3)
The trial and test we are facing in this present time is the wars being led by the Zionist-Christian alliance and their apostate aides against our Ummah. From them is the war being waged by America and the Zardari government against those demanding the establishment of Islam in the valley of Swat and the tribal areas. Hold yourselves to account before you are held accountable, and weigh your deeds before they are weighed.
From the favors of Allah upon us is that this test is easy and does not need much effort and explanation to understand. Easily put: are you for the establishment of the Shariah or are you from those who wages war against it, from America, Zardari and his aides? If you are with the first group, then thank Allah that He has guided you to be pleased with Islam and its defense. Continue your Jihad in His Cause. However, if you support Zardari and his soldiers, you are in great danger. If you die in this state, it would be the worst catastrophe you ever faced, for that is indeed the clearest loss. How is this not so, when Allah negated the Faith of those who are not pleased in referring to the Shariah. Listen to the saying of the Truth (I):
﴿ فلا وربك لا يؤمنون حتى يحكموك فيما شجر بينهم ثم لا يجدوا في أنفسهم حرجاً مما قضيت ويسلموا تسليماً ﴾
“No, by your Lord, they will never believe until they make you judge in what they dispute, finding no grief in their hearts for what you have judged, submitting to it totally.” (Al-Nisaa: 65)
Know well that Faith in Allah (I) can never coexist in a person’s heart with love of the enemies of the Shariah and allying with them. If this is the case if the enemies are our own parents and children, what if they were Zardari and his army? Think about the saying of Allah (I):
﴿لا تجد قوماً يؤمنون بالله واليوم الآخر يوادون من حاد الله ورسوله ولو كانوا آباءهم أو أبناءهم أو إخوانهم أو عشيرتهم أولئك كتب في قلوبهم الإيمان وأيدهم بروح منه ويدخلهم جنات تجري من تحتها لأنهار خالدين فيها رضي الله عنهم ورضوا عنه أولئك حزب الله ألا إن حزب الله هم المفلحون﴾
“You will never find a people who believe in Allah and the Lat Day loving those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers, their sons, their brothers, or their tribes. It is they who Allah has made faith dear to their hearts and strengthens them. He will admit them into gardens underneath which rivers flow, residing therein. Allah will be pleased with them and they with Him. Indeed it is they who are the party of Allah. Indeed it is the party of Allah who will be successful. ” (Al-Mujadilah: 22)
And also:
﴿ وما كان استغفار إبراهيم لأبيه إلا عن موعدة وعدها إياه فلما تبين له أنه عدو لله تبرأ منه إن إبراهيم لأواه حليم ﴾
“And the request of forgiveness of Abraham for his father was only because of a promise he had made to him. But when it became apparent to him [i.e., Abraham] that he [i.e., the father] was an enemy to Allah, he disassociated himself from him. Indeed was Abraham compassionate and patient” (Al-Tawbah: 114)
Think about the saying of the Messenger of Allah (r):
« أوثق عرى الإيمان الموالاة في الله والمعاداة في الله والحب في الله والبغض في الله عز وجل »
“The strongest handhold of Faith is allying for Allah and showing enmity for Allah, and loving for Allah and hating for Allah (U). (Ahmed)
O slave of Allah, safeguard yourselves and your religion, and do not let the life of this world deceive you. Beware of the grave, for indeed it is a heavy affair.
Poetry:
And indeed every person arises amongst his family,
While death is nearer than the lace of his sandal.
It is only a matter of days until we part with this world. Tomorrow we will be placed in our graves, and indeed tomorrow is near for one who sees. At that time, every single one of us will be asked in his grave, “Who is your lord? What is your religion? Who is your prophet?” The Messenger of Allah (r) said:
« ما من عبد يقول حين يمسي وحين يصبح رضيت بالله رباً ، وبالإسلام ديناً ، وبمحمد صلى الله عليه وسلم نبياً ...
