Press Release
What has taken place in Halab in terms of
collective massacres, street executions and the demolishing of houses upon the
heads of those who live in them, is nothing new for the America, the West or
Russia. What happened in Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq is not far from our
memories. The West has got used to destroying Muslim lands, one land after
another because it feels assured that the Muslim armies are shackled to their
rulers and will never be able to mobilise.
Our people in Halab are being killed
before the eyes of the whole world: Those who claim friendship to the Syrian
people and those who are hostile to them. And we have not seen any serious
movement from the United Nations or international community which exposes their
civilisation established upon the skulls of humanity and the fraudulence of
their claims about guaranteeing human rights and his freedoms... Our people in Halab are being killed before
the eyes of the Muslims' rulers, those who remain motionless and their dead
consciences are not moved by the cries of the noble women or the children’s
corpses... Our people in Halab are being
killed before the eyes of the leaderships of the fighting brigades from whom we
have not seen any serious efforts to save them... The cries of those seeking relief in Halab
have been raised high and yet the sense of honour was not moved within those
who pretend fraudulently that they have established the Khilafah whilst they
know nothing about it apart from its name. Indeed, all stood with their arms
crossed watching the people of Halab being slaughtered. Then the enemies of the
people of Syria together with those who claim friendship to them and an
alliance, along with the tied and compromised leaderships of the opposition
fighting groups gathered together. They all met in one single trench positioned
against the people of Ash-Shaam and as a consequence Halab was lost according
to understandings reached between America and Russia. Halab was sold for a
paltry price in the Turkish market whilst the leaderships of the fighting
groups took hold of its price, thus handing Halab over to its enemies for them
to ravage it. Otherwise, how can the resilience of Daariya for nearly four
years be explained whilst Halab fell in a number of days?!
We did not lose Halab today but rather we
lost it when the leaderships of the fighting groups followed the path of
ceasefires and negotiations… We lost Halab when we accepted support based upon
conditions and we ransomed our decision making and will to the donors who then
set their red lines shackling us and here they are wrapped around our necks … We lost Halab when we rejected to hold fast
together upon the firmly solid rope of Allah and instead gaining control over
areas and for our groups dominate dover us, in addition to holding on to
privileges and positions, all at the cost of the blood of the martyrs and the
suffering of our people who have been cast out …
Halab did not fall but rather every false
claimant, trader, betrayer and pretender has fallen … Their masks have been
shattered, their conspiring has been exposed whilst the obligation of
accounting, ordering the Ma’roof and forbidding the Munkar for us to save our
revolution and steer it to safe waters, has been awakened within the souls of
the sincere.
The destruction of Halab is part of the
American plan and Russia is no more than a heavy stick that America uses to
make the regions bow and to make them submit to the political solution.
However, its destruction is not the end of the revolution but rather it is the
beginning of a new revolution to rectify the path. That is because the people
of Ash-Shaam will never accept for the flame of their revolution to be put out.
Rather it will radiate once again but upon the straight path by the permission
of Allah Al-Azeez Al-Jabbaar. It will then surround and encompass the Kafir
colonialists, the hypocrites and betraying traitors in a powerful manner, and
that is not a difficult matter for Allah.
O patient persevering Muslims in the land
of Ash-Shaam, the central homeland of Islaam: We
ask Allah that this event will represent a new beginning to rectify the path
and direction and will place the matters in their right place, whilst the
Messenger of Allah (saw) has said: «لا
يلدغ المؤمن من جحر واحد مرتين»
“The believer is not stung from the same
whole twice”. You have experienced the destructive
effect of the political money. You have experienced what the donors have done
with your revolution and you have experienced that sincerity without awareness
squanders the sacrifices and loses the fruits. Rather, all of this is a gift
for the enemies of Islam; and therefore your revolution needs to cast aside all
of the tied and compromised leaderships and for all of the groups to unite
under a single aware and sincere leadership which defines the objective
pleasing to its Lord and has a clear vision of the path to accomplish it. It
will not be diverted in a reactionary manner imposed upon it by its enemies but
will rather continue upon its path upon clear vision and awareness, holding
fast to the rope of Allah alone, severing the ropes of those conspiring against
us, the ropes which have only brought calamities upon us and to the situation
that we are currently in … So, are we content to remain proceeding upon
other than guidance and having reliance on other than Allah, seeking support
and victory from the enemies whilst tying ourselves to their support and
decisions?! Allah Ta’Aalaa said:
﴿أَفَمَن
يَمْشِي مُكِبًّا عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِ أَهْدَىٰ أَمَّن يَمْشِي سَوِيًّا عَلَىٰ
صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ﴾
“Then is one who walks fallen on his face
better guided or one who walks erect on a straight path?”
[Al-Mulk: 22].
So, are we content? Or will the loss of
Halab represent a warning sound that will renew our Imaan and make us flee from
the plots and scheming of our enemies to our Lord, holding fast to His rope
alone and relying upon Him alone, where we provide support to His Deen fully
until He brings His promise to pass for us?
