Issue 316 Thursday, 5 Jumada al-Ula 1443 Editorial بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم When the worshipers of the devil the Yazidis killed a single Muslim woman and abused her corpse after she declared her entering into Islam, the leaders of the Islamic State made them a promise that was fulfilled 7 years after their crime, and so they tormented the kafir Yazidis and eliminated their men, and took their children, and ruled over them with Allah's Shari'ah. Truly, their punish- ment is not yet over, for the Day of Judgment is far worse! The reason we mention this, is that when the Islamic State makes a threat or a promise to a sect of kufr and ridda’, they fulfill that promise - with Al- lah's support - even if it comes after a while. Its soldiers and leaders carry their promises, generation after gen- eration, depending on Allah and de- riving strength from Him alone, seeking refuge in Him, and knowing that we are helpless without him. The Islamic State has fulfilled many of its promises against the kuffar and murtaddin, as we saw on the day of “Speicher” in Iraq and how they ran the blood of the Rafida in rivers, and as we saw in the battles of “Division 17 and the Milibiya regi- ment” in Sham and how the muja- hidin eliminated hundreds of Nu- sayri soldiers and made of them a fearsome example for those who fol- low them.. to other conquests and events where the soldiers of the Is- lamic State fulfilled the promises they had made, making the words of their Lord a reality, "Fight them, for Allah will punish them at your hands," and responding to His com- mand, "Fight them until there is no more fitna," and to survive His threat, "Unless you mobilize, He will punish you most painfully," and to heal the hearts of the believers and avenge their blood, dignity, and sanctuaries. The latest episode in the series of fulfilling promises is the recent series of attacks that hit the Peshmerga murtaddin in such a short span in multiple areas inside their protected zones, which they claim to fully control. The whole world saw the leaders of the Peshmerga murtaddin and their soldiers crying over their peers who fell in the blessed attacks, thinking for a long time that they are safe from them, but they miscal- culated, and their sorrows were re- newed and they tasted some of what they made the Muslims taste. Even though these attacks are not the first which targeted the Pesh- merga, where they were preceded by other attacks, they were the hardest on them for multiple reasons, among them: the sequence and re- peated attacks in such a short span, and the high death toll, where the Peshmerga government was forced to admit their losses, being unable to hide them like they are used to, as well as the timing of the attacks, during the "total crisis" hitting the "political teams" in Iraq, no matter their orientation, which threatens to spin the situation out of their con- trol. From another angle, the mujahidin who the Peshmerga murtaddin be- lieved they eliminated, are the same ones who are attacking them today, and making their way to their bar- racks so they would kill them in it and heal the hearts of the believers. Breaking into the strongholds of the enemy has such a huge effect. Tthese daring attacks hit the moral of the enemy's soldiers when they see the lions breaking in, not caring about them and their equipment and forti- fications, which cost them millions and were provided by the Jews and Crusaders all these past years. Today it did them no good when Allah's destiny came to them, and it will not help their leaders either who are standing behind them, and tomor- row is closer for he who is waiting for it. All the sects of kufr and ridda' who got involved and participated direct- ly or indirectly in the war against the Islamic State and their people, no matter in what form, doing or say- ing or supporting - and the support- ed is just like the doer - they must know that the mujahidin have rolled up their sleeves and promised to take revenge for the blood of Mus- lims and their dignity against any- one who's self allowed him to harm them. This is not just in Iraq and Sham, but everywhere the murtad- din fought the Islamic State and the Muslim ruling, which they hated and for it they fought the Islamic State. In that Shaykh Abul-Hasan al-Muhajir (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Do not let a lowly coward believe that a hand he put on Muslims and their dignity he will live to enjoy. By He who moved the clouds and built the seven heavens, and dispersed the kuffar in every valley on the day of conquest, both his hands and legs will be cut, and the soul his body contains will be taken, and he will be thrown as a corpse in his hole. We never weaken or back down! We are the grand children of Siddiq and Ibn al-Walid, and we will revive his tradition in everyone who committed ridda' and made enmity with Muslims". Everyone who made enmity with Muslims, the Khilafah soldiers will fulfill their promises in him and take revenge on him and reach him soon- er or later in his barracks or position or workplace or in his home. These murtaddin and their helpers have no other option than to repent, other- wise promises will be fulfilled, and those who fulfill them are mobiliz- ing in their path, by Allah's permis- sion. From this position we would like to advise and remind ourselves and the supporters of the mujahidin every- where, to make it clear that success is a grace only from Allah, He is the granter of success and from Him is support. Therefore, the supporters must help their brothers with that and lower themselves in front of their Lord and submit to Him and teach the Muslims to do so. The mujahidin never broke into a posi- tion nor do they gain anything from an enemy unless they truly depend- ed on Allah and truly believed that He fulfills His promises, and emp- tied their hearts from anything that could distract them from complete- ly depending and believing in their Lord. So put that in front of your eyes and advise with it among you and remind yourselves and brothers with it. We finish with what we started, say- ing, and success is from Allah: The righteous soldiers of Islam who avenged the murder of a single Mus- lim woman and displaced her killers and made them an example, such that their sorrows remain alive till today, are able, by Allah's permis- sion, to repeat that on everyone who fought Islam and Muslims. They are promises... and there are more, by Allah's permission. And Allah has control over His Affairs, but most people do not know. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all cre- ation. They are Promises.. and There are More!
