Tribute to a Deceased Ideal: The Martyred Prince Baitullah – May Allah be pleased with ‎‎him‏ ‏
By Sheikh Ayman Al Zawahiri- May Allah bless him‏ ‏
‎‏ ‏

In the name of Allah, praise is to Allah, and peace and blessings upon the Prophet of ‎‎Allah, his family, companions, and ones that followed him‏, ‏
‎‏ ‏
To our Muslim brothers everywhere: Allah’s peace, mercy, and blessings upon you‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
‎“I come to you today with a knight of Islam and a hero who stood against the current ‎‎Crusader campaign against Islam and Muslims. I bring to you today the martyr and hero ‎‎Baitullah Massoud May Allah be pleased with him‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
There are many lessons to be learnt from the life and martyrdom of Baitullah. Baitullah ‎‎was expanding his Islamic studies, but when the Crusade campaign began, he left his ‎‎studies to catch up with the Jihadi efforts. This young man was able to achieve a ‎‎significant awakening, uprising, and a Jihadi movement. He was able to fight back ‎‎twofold against the Crusade apostates and their agents in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He ‎‎began to organize his brothers as soon as the Crusaders entered Afghanistan, and ‎‎compiled the little they knew to strengthen and organize that movement. He continuously ‎‎put all his efforts towards improvement even though he suffered from many ailments; he ‎‎never stopped giving service to the faith of Allah and his Prophet‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
Baitullah was a very clear man. He declared from the start that he was a soldier under the ‎‎control of the Islamic state and the Mujahid Amir Al-Mullah Omar. Baitullah was able to ‎‎put together a large Jihadi movement that included wars, raids, and ambushes against the ‎‎Crusaders and their agents in Afghanistan. That movement was also able to confront the ‎‎agent Pakistani army and force it to sign agreements for its own self- protection. He ‎‎focused his continuous strikes on infidel and American bases in Pakistan. He was also the ‎‎reason for the failure of many American strategies. In my opinion, Baitullah’s greatest ‎‎success was in raising morale which is the largest contributor to the rise of Jihad. This is ‎‎being witnessed today by South Asia - Allah willing‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
He participated in dissipating the Pakistani government’s greatest scam with its claim that ‎‎it’s an Islamic country. He stated it’s an apostate government controlled by the new ‎‎Crusaders. He also cited its responsibility for murder, war, and hostility towards many ‎‎Muslims in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Pakistan announced it’s infidelity through its ‎‎secular-democratic system and British founded judicial system that it had acquired under ‎‎British control‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
He also destroyed the largest myth that the Pakistani government and its agent army had ‎‎been circulating with the help of scientists and ISI military intelligence. That myth ‎‎claimed that a Muslim Pakistan is defending Muslims from the Indian threat. Their ‎‎slogan is Faith, devotion, and Jihad for the sake of Allah. That is why it’s not permitted to ‎‎target people, execute suicide missions, target its building, etc… Baitullah uncovered the ‎‎truth- that the leaders and military are bribed, deceitful, have sold their religion, and have ‎‎butchered Muslims in Pakistan and Afghanistan. They have done that for the Crusaders in ‎‎exchange for dollars. ‎
‎‏ ‏
Baitullah had exerted a substantial effort to destroy nationalism in Pakistan emphasized ‎‎by Musharraf and his mob when he said “Pakistan first!” This meant that every Pakistani ‎‎should love his country and want the best for it, even if it’s at the cost of another ‎‎Muslim’s life from another country. It also meant that every Pakistani should side by his ‎‎army and prove his loyalty to the country’s motto. They used it as an excuse to commit ‎‎the greatest crime, and sided with the Crusaders to remove the Islamic rule from Kabul. ‎‎They said it was for the sake of Pakistan’s security‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
He knew May Allah be pleased with him, that Muslims are all part of one nation and that ‎‎they are brothers. He doesn’t recognize the Durand line that separates Afghanistan and ‎‎Pakistan. He declared jihad on the Crusaders in Afghanistan wanting to drive them out. ‎‎He targeted their agents in Pakistan as well‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
Baitullah also uncovered the truth about the Pakistani army, its weaknesses, strengths, ‎‎disintegration, low esteem, and the fact that it is composed of students and mercenaries. ‎‎These soldiers don’t last long in battle and give up against the Mujahidin. That’s when ‎‎they begin their negotiations to release prisoners and cease fire. The Pakistani people see ‎‎that and feel the concern because the army steals from the people with a motive of ‎‎protecting the country. The World and the Pakistani people saw those tapes of the army ‎‎when they threw down their weapons and handed them to the Mujahidin. They saw how ‎‎the Mujahidin had given gifts to those prisoners that were set free. It became clear to the ‎‎world that Pakistan isn’t loyal to its slogan and that its armies are nothing but ‎‎mercenaries who receive their pay, provide services to Crusaders, and then flee from the ‎‎battlefield when conditions worsen‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
Baitullah also participated in instilling monotheism among the Mujahidin by forming ‎‎Tehrik-i-Pakistan Taliban to lead his state. He then helped form Shura Ittihad Al-‎‎Mujahidin that included all the Mujahidin in Pakistan as well as their migrating brothers. ‎‎This united power is obedient to the Islamic state and Amir Al-Mullah Muhammad ‎‎Omar. A giant Jihad entity was formed to defend Islam and the Muslims in South Asia‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
He has helped us regain memories of glorious Muslim conquerors like the Sultan Jalal ‎‎Al-Din Al-Ghaznawi May Allah be pleased with him. He had revived the Jihadi ‎‎movement against the English led by the martyred Imam Ahmad Irfan, Mullah Mirza, Ali ‎‎Khan, Faqir of Ipi, Mullah Powindah, and Sadiq Pur scientists and their brothers may ‎‎Allah rest their soul. These people never surrendered to the British or the Crusaders. They ‎‎continued to fight them and so did their children as well when they fought the Russians in ‎‎Afghanistan. Their children’s children are continuing to fight against the Crusader-‎‎American campaign in Afghanistan and Pakistan today‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
He has also managed to remove fear from the hearts of the tribes from the harms of the ‎‎Pakistan army and their leaders. He brought a beam of light, with the brothers’ Jihad and ‎‎sacrifices, an awakening for the Pashtun, Baluch tribes, and areas all over Pakistan. He ‎‎drove the Pakistani tribes away from their internal disagreements, fights, looting, and ‎‎pillage. Instead, he directed them to jihad against the Americans and their agents in ‎‎Pakistan and Afghanistan. This caused thousands to race to Jihad and developed a desire ‎‎for martyrdom. Every home had Mujahidin; every tribe had martyrs, Crusaders, suicide ‎‎‎[bombers], as well as immigrants from Afghanistan and all other Muslim countries of the ‎‎world. All those in the Pashtun and Baluch tribes have been converted to soldiers with ‎‎loyalty to Amir Al Mumineen Mullah Muhammad Omar, may Allah protect him. These ‎‎soldiers pledge their loyalty to protect Al-Qaeda Mujahidin and their brothers from all ‎‎Muslim locations‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
The Pakistan tribes began to write a new chapter in Muslim history and jihad, while the ‎‎devilish Crusader campaigns and their agents where dropped into Pakistan and ‎‎Afghanistan. The war made terrorism its new target. Bush and his stupidity thought it was ‎‎going to be a cakewalk in Afghanistan and that it would be easy to get rid of Al-Qaeda, ‎‎its leaders, and its fighters. Instead it turned into a large jihadi uprising that took over ‎‎Afghanistan and then made its way to Pakistan thanks to Allah‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
May Allah have mercy on your soul Baitullah. You were an instigator for the Muslim ‎‎nation of Pakistan through your martyrdom, words, efforts, and work. You have ‎‎destroyed all illusions and dissipated all myths that were circulating among Muslims and ‎‎Jihad. You started your efforts while you were poor and weak until Allah gave you many ‎‎victories and answered many of the Muslim’s prayers. It’s as if you were walking in the ‎‎footsteps of the Prophet. Allah spoke to the Prophet telling him to fight for Allah, not rely ‎‎on anyone but oneself, and encourage the Muslims to fight. Maybe that will help the ‎‎infidels with their dismay and Allah is a harsher punisher‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
I tell the Americans, Crusaders, leaders, and their servants in the Afghanistan and ‎‎Pakistan governments ‘You have killed Baitullah who has gone to his creator as martyr, ‎‎but you haven’t killed Islam and jihad.’ If Islam had ended with someone’s death, it ‎‎would have ended with the death of the prophet; Allah’s blessing and peace be upon him. ‎‎The Arab tribes reverted and revolted against the Caliphates. If Islam had ended with ‎‎someone’s death, it would have ended when Omar Ibn AlKhattab, Uthman Bin Affan, Ali ‎‎Bin Abu Talib, Al Husayn Bin Ali were killed, may Allah be pleased with them. If Islam ‎‎ends with a campaign or an invasion, it would have been over when Islam homes and the ‎‎Caliphate empire where attacked by two major campaigns: Crusader campaign from the ‎‎West and the Tatar campaign from the East. It would have been over with the fall of ‎‎Grenada or the fall of the Ottoman Empire, but this faith is here to stay because Allah had ‎‎promised it. Allah promised victory to his prophet, people, and the faith‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
Here you are… you Americans, Crusaders, and their leaders, watching jihad increase ‎‎after the martyrdom of Baitullah. It’s going to increase even more than that Allah willing ‎‎until all of you leave Afghanistan beaten and defeated. We bring you good tidings from ‎‎Afghanistan and Pakistan, that there will be a non-ending flow of losses, injuries, and ‎‎death unless you flee‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
I’m really surprised with the Germans. The Americans and English defeated them in ‎‎World War II and they convince them to fight their war that is predestined for failure. ‎‎Their ministry leader lies to them in parliament and tells them that their presence is ‎‎necessary for maintaining world peace and security. What kinds of lies are those? Peace ‎‎and security will not exist unless you leave Muslim homes, stop interfering with their ‎‎matters, stealing their wealth, and supporting their failed leaders while making deals with ‎‎them for everyone’s benefit. This is the only way for peace and international security if ‎‎you want it‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
Ibn Asakir may May Allah be pleased with him, said that Ali Bin Abu-Talib said: “I ‎‎don’t know any of the soldiers who have migrated without completely disappearing other ‎‎than Omar Ibn al-Khattab. When he had intended to migrate he wore his sword, placed ‎‎his bow on his shoulder, collected his arrows and his stick, and then headed towards ‎‎Kaabah. He met Quraysh in it’s courtyard but still walked around the Kaabah seven ‎‎times, prayed, and stood on each one of the rings and said “Woe to these faces! Allah ‎‎only forces these types of people to fight. Whoever wants their mother bereaved, their ‎‎children fatherless, and their wives widowed should meet me behind this building.” So ‎‎we tell the Germans, the Americans, the English, and the rest of Crusader gangs “Woe to ‎‎these faces! Allah only forces these types of people to fight‏.” ‏
‎‏ ‏
Whoever wants to get rid of their son, they should send them to Afghanistan. Whoever ‎‎wants to lose his money, they can waste it in Afghanistan. Whoever wants to spoil their ‎‎belongings can ship it to Afghanistan. Whoever wants to spread losses among his army ‎‎can push them towards Afghanistan. Welcome to the failed and defeated convoys in ‎‎Afghanistan‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
To the Muslims in Pakistan and Afghanistan, here are the promises of victory looming in ‎‎the distance. Help the Mujahidin and catch up to them and be stern with the Crusader ‎‎America and its followers. They have no medicine other than Jihad to bring them to their ‎‎senses. Allah has uncovered their weaknesses, cowardice, and hostility to Islam and its ‎‎prophet, Allah’s blessing and peace be upon him. He has also uncovered their sin, ‎‎dissolution, deviance, abomination, and their degradation‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
Media sources have finally exposed their scandal in the American embassy in Kabul. The ‎‎embassy officers have converted their embassy to a brothel, nudity, and revelry for ‎‎deviance and dissolution. In fact, an American report stated that the officers were forcing ‎‎Afghan guards to participate in that nudity and sin. I’m asking all the good-willed and ‎‎Muslim Afghans out there; would this have happened under Islamic rule in Kabul? This ‎‎was the only government that contained a Ministry for Instruction with Kindness and ‎‎Forbidding of Cruelty‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
When Al-Qawwadin reign in Kabul, the Americans fooled around with Afghan honor. A ‎‎class of Afghans appeared that spoiled your sons and daughters. To the honorably and ‎‎free Afghanistan, the people who spoiled your sons and daughters are the ones who have ‎‎insulted the Qur’an and made fun of the prophet. They are the ones who spread the bible ‎‎among you to convert you to their religion. They are the ones that are targeting and ‎‎murdering your women and children every day. They are the ones who invaded your ‎‎beloved Muslim country and converted you to a humiliated country that has no choice, ‎‎freedom, or honor. In its skies are flags of forty countries participating in the Crusader ‎‎campaign‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
Dear honorable Afghans, stand by your Islamic state soldiers and brothers. They are the ‎‎defenders of your faith, honor, glory, sanctity, lands, and countries. Stand by them in a ‎‎fight against more than forty countries participating in the Crusader campaign. Turkey is ‎‎among these countries and it will lead NATO forces to Afghanistan in the next month. ‎‎Let all Muslim Turkish people know that their country is leading NATO forces to burn ‎‎down villages, bring down homes, kill women and children, invade Muslim homes, fight ‎‎the Shari’a, and spread sin. The Turkish forces will conduct the same operations in ‎‎Afghanistan as the Israelis do in Palestine. How do the Turkish people accept this action ‎‎against Islam and the Muslims? What is driving the Turkish government to contribute to ‎‎spilling the blood of Muslims and lead a campaign against them? What have the Afghans ‎‎done to Turkey so it would commit all these criminal acts against them? It is due to the ‎‎evil secularism and wretched opportunism that attains its goals by climbing over ‎‎women’s body parts, children’s blood, and the honorable people’s sanctities‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
It is the same secularism and opportunism that drives Muslim leaders and governments ‎‎like Egypt that has provided sanctions against the Muslims in Gaza, and have prevented ‎‎them from receiving funds to rebuild while the winter season approaches. They are ‎‎forcing them to give in to the Zionist-Crusader campaign. Here is the fraud… Obama ‎‎pretending he understands what the Palestinians are going through. He has left 10,000 ‎‎people without shelter while the cold winter approaches while he looks at them from his ‎‎warm office in the White house. He is waiting for them to weaken and give up‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
Here is Obama leaving all these settlements spread across the strip and Jerusalem and ‎‎shows little pity and pressures for more surrender. Is it clear to us that Obama is a ‎‎criminal or do we need to see more crimes in Kabul, Baghdad, Mogadishu, and Gaza ‎‎before we realize that? Has America uncovered its villainous dishonesty under the ‎‎leadership of the smiling Obama? Or do we still need to see more scandals and pictures ‎‎of sexual violations so we can be sure of its wretchedness‏? ‏
‎‏ ‏
Obama started his term with a bloody attack on Gaza and hasn’t said a word concerning ‎‎that or the sanctions on our people. He is creating the situation that keeps people in Gaza ‎‎sanctioned and is watching these settlements appear without making a move as they grow ‎‎like thorny forests across Muslim lands in Gaza and Jerusalem. The events in Palestine ‎‎are intended to calm the situation down in Gaza. This is Israel’s main goal after they’ve ‎‎received surrender and cooperation from the Abbas government. The Mujahidin should ‎‎target all the Jews to achieve that. If they aren’t able to achieve that in Gaza, the whole ‎‎world is a battle arena open with opportunities for them. The supporters are available ‎‎worldwide thanks to Allah‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
The Mujahidin in Palestine and everywhere else should destroy the devils laws that all ‎‎the countries in the world are trying to enforce. ‘There is no Jihad other than against the ‎‎foreign invader and no jihad other than in occupied lands.’ The rules specify that it is also ‎‎important to improve relations with neighboring countries, European Union, and America ‎‎as well. Also, it is necessary to create a unity with traitors and with the ones that sell their ‎‎faith and country‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
These rules will ultimately result in weakening the Mujahidin, stopping Jihad, ‎‎encouraging corruption, dissolution, and encourage a Zionist-Crusader government. Will ‎‎the adherence to these devilish rules remain while Israel keeps digging a new tunnel ‎‎under Al-Aqsa mosque aiming to destroy it along with Jerusalem? Will the adherence to ‎‎these devilish rules remain while we watch the destruction of Al-Aqsa mosque? Will we ‎‎remain quiet since Jihad is not allowed outside Palestine or against anyone else other than ‎‎the Jews? Do we have any doubt that the Jews will not stop their crimes unless it’s with ‎‎jihad‏? ‏
‎‏ ‏
These are rules that Shi’ite verses agree to. They present the fight against Hizballah as an ‎‎example of these rules that they approve. It’s a party that fights but then accepts the ‎‎country’s borders retreating 30 km back. They promise Crusader safety to the Israeli ‎‎borders. They also claim that any rockets other than the ones from their guardian are ‎‎suspected rockets. They knowingly delve into secular politics. After that, they point the ‎‎gun to Beirut to achieve political advantages while using an Iranian weapon and ‎‎dishonoring the Mujahidin in Iraq. This scenario makes Jihad a national issue and is ‎‎asking for the good and bad people to get to an agreement together. This ultimately ‎‎causes a loss of communication and Mujahidin’s loyalty along with all their brothers and ‎‎Muslims from Chechnya to Islamic Morocco. This is of course with consideration to ‎‎political interests and international plans. This matter can turn against the people that ‎‎suggested it in the first place when other countries sense that there’s no need to provide ‎‎support‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
We have to abide by Islamic rules in attaining victory for the Muslims everywhere, not ‎‎give up on them, pray for them, and have an intention for their victory. In fact, it’s ‎‎necessary to have that intention of freeing all Muslim lands taken over by infidels from ‎‎Caucasia, Andalusia, Ceuta, and Melilla. We have to promise Allah that we will never ‎‎forget any Muslim in a land attacked by infidels whether it’s in Caucasia, Kashmir, ‎‎Philippines, and Andalusia. This includes Ceuta and Melilla which were forgotten by an ‎‎Islamic government anxious for the approval of new Crusader governments‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
This scenario that Hizballah and other countries have approved of should be denied by ‎‎the Mujahidin because it’s a scenario that will hold its Jihadi position in a political ‎‎negotiations market. It will move it further away from the goal of freeing Islam and ‎‎establishing an Islamic Caliphate. The nation has to refuse suspicions supported by ‎‎malicious scientists in cooperation with governments that are trying to hinder its abilities ‎‎and weaken it. Sheikh Usamah Bin-Laden has asked for the release of those scientists’ ‎‎names as well as uncovering their falseness and deceit‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
I invite every Muslim, especially the Muslim knights, in Jihadi media to participate in ‎‎this blessed effort Allah willing. The nation has to uncover all those that are its enemies ‎‎that are among us in our own skin, tongue, and names. They are like worms that penetrate ‎‎our bones, a weakness in our arms, and a poison flowing in our veins. To the possessive ‎‎Muslim Nation and their sacrificing youth, we should never give up to the Crusader ‎‎campaign, their supporters’ plans, and their suspicious statements. We should start Jihad ‎‎on our own because governments became traitors, and associations have surrendered, and ‎‎fight over forged election votes‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
Let us become examples like our martyred brother Baitullah Mehsud May Allah be ‎‎pleased with him... Baitullah was a seeker of knowledge who had left the qualifying ‎‎knowledge arena for the distinguishing Jihad arena. He started his Jihad in extreme ‎‎circumstances starting with the dazzling Crusader military strength and his very few ‎‎commodities and supporting loyal brothers. Allah had given him victories and formed a ‎‎strong revival of Mujahidin after him that shook the ground beneath Crusaders and their ‎‎agents‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
To the Muslim nation, if we don’t fight against the Zionist-Crusader campaign with all ‎‎that we have, our children will inherit degradation. If we don’t move forward for the sake ‎‎of Allah, there is only an eternity of humiliation. The Prophet warned of Allah’s ‎‎punishment for those who don’t go to jihad and return to their faith‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
And Praise is to Allah and blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad‏. ‏
‎‏ ‏
Allah’s peace, mercy, and blessings upon you‏. ‎‏ ‏‎‏ ‏
