Brainwashing Gullible Muslim Youth to Join the ‘Jihad’ To Establish a World Wahhabi Caliphate: Concocted Stories of Miracles from the ‘Jihad’ In Afghanistan - Part 9
Many wonder how have the radical Wahhabi ideologues been able to create an army of suicide bombers in their war against the world to create a global Wahhabi Khilafat. The traditional wisdom is that it is the lure of the hoor in the hereafter that leads young men to find a way of leaving this world in a hurry. This is no doubt true. You just have to read the writings of Maulana Masood Azhar, the terrorist who was freed from an Indian jail in exchange for passengers on the hijacked Indian Airlines Flight 814 (IC814) and went on to found Jaish-e-Mohammad, the most successful in creating suicide bombers. He describes what goes through the minds of these young men who are on the way to their suicide mission – fantasies of sex with young virgin hooris in Heaven where they will soon be as they have been told by the likes of Maulana Masood Azhar or Hafiz Saeed of Lashkar-eTayyeba.
But there is more to it than the lure of hoor. One important influence is exerted by incredible stories of miraculous help from God that is awaiting them at every step in this so-called Jihad. In the following write-up Osama Bin Laden’s mentor, Sheikh Abdullah Azzam, recounts concocted stories of the Karamaat (miracles) of the Auliya in the so-called Jihad of Afghanistan to motivate young men in this and other theatres of war. These stories are interspersed with the stories of miracles from the time of the Prophet. The irony of the matter is that the main criticism of Wahhabi ideologues against the mainstream Muslims, many of whom revere Sufi saints is that they recount so many stories of miracles performed by Sufi masters. But I suppose Wahhabi ideologues believe that everything is fair in war, including contravening the Wahhabi ideology itself in order to win a war for the establishment of a Wahhabi caliphate in the world. – Sultan Shahin, Editor, New Age Islam

The Opinion of the Ulema
By Osama Bin Laden’s mentor, Abdullah Azzam
The first to whom I wrote regarding my intention (to write this book) was Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Baaz. I was delighted to hear his reply: “A hearty glad tiding for their victory, Insha Allah.” I also asked Sheikh Umar Al-Ashqar, who said:
“The most important factor is the authenticity of the narrations. If the narrations are authentic, (i.e. from reliable sources) then it will be binding on us to proclaim and disseminate them, whether they conform to our understanding or not”
The laity, communists and those harbouring malice have made these incidents a target of their mockery of Jihad and the Mujahideen because in their hearts, they detest Islam. They thus seek a scapegoat for their abuse and slander. Allah Ta’ala has most aptly spoken the truth regarding such people:
0 you who believe! Do not take as bosom friends those besides you [the Muslims]. They [the Kuffar] will not spare in harming you. They love that which distresses you [0 Muslims]. Hatred has appeared from their mouths [but] what their hearts conceal is even greater. We have clearly explained to you [0 Muslims] the signs, if only you have intelligence.
I wish to remind my brothers of the incident of Me’raj. At the time, barely a hundred people on the entire earth accepted the veracity of such an incident. The Kuffar attempted to use this episode as a means of creating doubt as to the honesty of Rasullullah SallAllaahu Alaihi wa Sallam. Similar is the position of these miracles that have been narrated. The enemies of the Deen have attempted to make them a target for jeer and jest.
I hope from Allah Ta’ala that he places this book on my scale of Good Deeds on the day of Qiyaamah; that he forgives me my shortcomings and sins.
O our Rabb (Allah) Do not take us to task if we have forgotten or erred. 0 our Rabb! Do not place a burden on us as you had done with those before us. 0 our Rabb Do not burden us with that over which we do not have the ability. Overlook our faults, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Master/Protector, and assist us against the kafir nation.
Response to the First Impression
Alhamdulillah! People have begun reading the first impression with a great enthusiasm. I have received many phone calls from Europe, America and the Arab countries, asking permission to print the book. I also received letters from all over the globe. There is no surprise in this since the book discusses the most important Islamic event on earth.... Some brothers have drawn my attention to a few points regarding the book.
They say: ‘The book gives the impression that the Afghani nation is an ideal nation, which has no equal on earth.”
My response:
As far as them having no equal on earth, well, this is a reality for one who has lived amongst them. As far as being ideal, no person or nation can claim perfection. In this nation, some are pious, others not, and they all have human weaknesses. Some are people of bid'ah (innovators), liars, spies, Thieves, drug addicts and dealers, and communists. But the majority of the nation is honest, respectful and brave.
I asked a number of leaders of various districts, e.g.:
Muhammad Umar of Baghmaan who is the leader of 8000 Mujahideen
Muhammad Jal Naasirah, who has 3200 Mujahideen with him
Muhammad Khalid Farooqi, who has 15000 men under him
Maulwy Haleem, who has 11 000 Mujahideen with him
All of them bear witness that they do not have a single man with them who does not perform his Salaah. More than 90 percent of them perform it with Jama’at. A number of them are regular in Tahajjud, and a fraction engages in Nafl fasts. The majority of those who can recite the Qur’an do so daily.
In which nation on earth will you find such goodness?
One of the Mujahideen narrated to me:
“The children have come to know if the jets are going to bombard us or not. If the jets appear without birds then they will not fire, and if the birds are with them they are sure that there will be an assault. The birds only accompany the jets to protect the Mujahideen. The children only hide when they see the birds.”
An Important Point
Karaamaat of the type mentioned in this book do not appear with those who lag behind the Jihad. It appears for those who find themselves in the most difficult situations. After doing all what is in their capacity and spending all their energies, then only does the special Decree of Allah Ta’ala intervene.
For example, the Qur’an says:
And when the two groups saw each other [the army of Fir’oun and the followers of Musa Alaihis salaam) the people of Musa Alaihis salaam said: “We are caught.” Musa Alaihis salaam said: ‘Never! My Rabb is with me and he will soon guide me. We sent Wahi to Musa to “strike the sea with your staff’” it then split and each group passed through like a huge mountain.
[This occurred when Musa Alaihis salaam reached the Red Sea, and could not go further. He had no escape.]
Another commonly overlooked aspect
The life of Jihad is based on toil and exertion, on sweat, blood, tiredness, sleeplessness, difficulties and pain. Jihad is built on the human flesh that has to be burnt so that the flame of Jihad may stay alight, just as oil has to burn to keep a lamp alight. Jihad binges on grief and fear. The flowing of the blood of the innocent Shuhadaa and scattering of corpses are all-complementary to Jihad. All these are the fuel of Jihad, and water for its garden.
What! Are you all under the impression that you will enter into Jannah whereas, as yet, Allah does not know [i.e. ~ has not made apparent those from you who will toil and those who adopt Sabr?
Jihad is not based on miracles, but they do appear at the time of adversity, helplessness and hopelessness. Sheikh Abul Hasan Shazilee rabmatullh’aiayhi was quoted as saying that Karaamaat do not occur for those who hanker after them, or even entertain a wish for it in their hearts. Karaamaat occur to those who consider themselves to be insignificant. Their gaze is fixed on the Grace of Allah Ta’ala and they have neither confidence nor reliance on their own good deeds.
The difficult plight of the Mujahideen could be imagined from the sustained pressure of the daily bombardments, which sometimes lasted for several months. They were sometimes shelled upon three times a day by BM13 and BM21 bombers, which release 25 missiles on one squeeze of the trigger. The weight of the shells released by the jets is sometimes half a ton.
Abdul Hameed related to me that he measured a crater formed by one such shell. It was 8 meters deep and had a circumference of 63 meters.
A Mujahid at times spends 5 years under these trying circumstances, and in this lengthy period probably only experiences one such miracle; that too when, he has exhausted all that which is humanly possible. I have gathered these narrations directly from these Mujahideen and I would often ask them to take an oath over these occurrences. They have reached Tawaatur [i.e. there is no possibility of fabrication.]
Some brothers have said:
“We do not wish to be deceived by the Afghani Revolution as we were deceived by the Iranian Revolution.”
The thing to remember is that the Iranian Revolution was Shia Revolution and not a Islamic Revolution.
An Islamic revolution can only conducted and accepted if it is done in the light of Qur’an and Sunnah and by Muslims of correct Aqeedah (faith). The Shia’s Aqeedah is not that of the Qur’an and Sunnah. As a result all the leading Ulema of the world has declared them as Kaffirs (disbelievers).
The Afghani Revolution is an Islamic Jihad; undertaken by a truly Muslim nation, who are of the Ahle ‘Sunnah The Aqeedah [beliefs] of their leaders are clear, they do not hate the Sahabah nor negate the Ahadith. As long as this is so, it is incumbent on us to assist them.
Despite the huge odds against them, hope is deeply embedded in their hearts.
Umar Haneef told me:
We are a nation for whom Jihad is indispensable, just as water is for a fish.
Dr. Abdul Quadir said to me:
I witnessed the intense argument between a Mujahid and the doctor who amputated his leg, due to it becoming paralyzed by frostbite. The Mujahid said to the doctor: “Put back my leg, just as it was, since, today you have prevented me engaging in the Jihad of Afghanistan!” I will never forget the elderly man, who was refused permission to fight due to his age, and exclaimed: “To remain behind in Peshawar is a Sin.
Jalaaluddeen Haqqaani narrated to me:
For almost 7 months -- from Shawwaal 1403 H. to Jamaadul Uula 1404 H. the jets would bombard us 2 to 5 times a day. By Allah, no Mujahid from my tribe or that of Moulana Arsalaan was killed. This was because we would make Dua unto Allah Ta’ala, saying, ‘0 Allah! To Thee do we complain of the feebleness of our strength, the lack of resources against the jets.’ Allah Ta’ala would then protect us.
Abdul Hameed said:
If all the shells released on the Mujahideen in Afghanistan had to yield their true potential, it would not have been possible to continue the Jihad for one week. [i.e. It is obvious that Allah Ta’ala had prevented most of them from detonating].
Moulwy Haleem said:
Whenever the aircraft would carry out a raid on us, birds would accompany them. I would then tell the Mujahideen:
‘The help of Allah has come.
Once, our ZK1 anti-aircraft gun was destroyed. We made Dua unto Allah Ta’ala. He then sent over us a cloud that screened us from the aircrafts.
He also said:
Once, 600 tanks and armoured carriers attacked us. We were only a group of Mujahideen with 14 rifles, some sticks and swords. Allah Ta’ala caused them to be destroyed.
...How many of the enemy fled upon hearing “Allahu Akbar!”
Muhammad Dawood Chayrat, a leader at Wardak, told me:
The tanks surrounded us from all sides, and the aircrafts covered the horizon. We were a large number of Mujahideen, and the enemy was more than ten thousand, with hundreds of tanks. Most of the Mujahideen fled, and about 20 of us remained. We were sure of death.
Eleven of us gained Shahadat, and the remaining nine were wounded and completely exhausted. This was after experiencing two days of thirst, and it was also Ramadan [i.e. they were fasting]. The tanks advanced to capture us alive, so we rang out in one voice:
“Allahu Akbar!” It was as if an entire city had said the Takbeer. The tanks were destroyed by the sound of the Takbeer.
One of the Favours of Allah Ta’ala is that the area of Afghanistan bordering on Pakistan has been open. The tribes living in this frontier are self-governing, i.e. they are not subject to any government. This created an easy passage for the Mujahideen to Pakistan. It is for the fear of Jihad that the West has blockaded Bosnia. Nevertheless, Allah Ta’ala has provided a way in and out for those that are sincere. On the battlefield are 8000 Madrasa students [i.e. those undertaking higher Islamic education] who study in the Madrasas run by the Mujahideen. Similarly, every district has a Madrasa and an Islamic court. The Russians acknowledge that the interior of the country is under the Mujahedeen’s domain. The Russian domain was confined to the main cities.
A final appeal for all to constantly remember the Mujahideen in their Du’as. May Allah accept this humble effort! Ameen. Wa aakbiru da’waana anil hamdu li rabbil ‘aalameen.
