Letter from
The Daughter of a Mujahid
To my precious Grand fatherI thank Allah, the Almighty, for having blessed me with a father who did not accept humiliation and subjugation and hated oppression and imperialism, and was never at rest seeing and hearing about his brothers who were detained in the prisons by the apostates. He used to suffer greatly on seeing their children deprived of their fathers’ love, just because of their religion and their faith and their hate of the enemies of the religion. He used to think!! Will my daughter live some day, like those children??? And will the tyrants separate between us??? What is the solution for the believing group to live safely and peacefully???Then my father decided to migrate and do Jihad so that I and people enjoy, by the Grace of Allah, harmony and peace and there is no solution to these trials except Jihad.
My dear Grandfather....And I thank Allah Almighty that he has bestowed me with a believing and loving mother who knows Allah and praises Him and knows that everything is in the hands of Allah and that Jihad and Hijrah is a religious order from Allah. That’s why she was patient and preserving and her condition was like the condition of the pious Companion (May Allah be pleased with her) who came to Prophet (peace be upon him) after her husband left for Jihad. The strange thing was, that she did not ask for the return of her husband but she came with her faith in what is with Allah, of bounties asking how can she reach the reward that her husband would reach so that she could accompany him in paradise ( and what a perfect wife she was)? I had seen my mother reading from the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and I remember her stopping on the question of our mother, the mother of the believers Ayesha (May Allah be please with her) Is it compulsory for Women to participate in Jihad? So the Prophet replied to her ‘Your Jihad is Hajj’. Then she would contemplate and say that Ayesha (May Allah be pleased with her) did not ask for participating in Jihad except for what Jihad carries of reward and bounties in the world and the hereafter. And since my mother was brought up on the life stories of these, her situation was not different from them. I often see her wish that my father fights and dies and then becomes alive and then dies and then comes back to life and then dies because she knows the reward that the Martyr enjoys near Allah and because of her knowledge that this was the wish of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) who does not desire except great. Grandfather, mother taught me the biography of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and she told me that history repeats itself and that what my father and the Mujahideen are facing from the disbelievers and the deviant scholars is the same what the messenger (peace be upon him) and the Companions (May Allah be pleases with them) were facing from the disbelievers. That’s why they migrated and left behind them sons and wives for the sake of Allah Almighty and Allah is enough as a protector and helper. Then she mentioned the story of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in Mecca when his house was under siege by the leaders of Quraysh to kill him but Allah protected him and she reminded me of my fathers condition when Allah protected him and saved him from the criminals as he went out from the house and wasn’t even capable of saying us goodbye in fear of being captured by the apostates or being killed. Then she narrated to me what happened to the heroic Mujahid Muhammad ad Dulaimi (one of twenty three brothers who escaped from the political security forces ) when they came to his house and killed him between his family and kin. I felt relieved and rejoiced even more, then, for my fathers escape.
My precious Grand father My faith has increased in the fact that my dad is on the right way especially when I read the description of Allah the Almighty about how Musa (peace be upon him) escaped Pharaoh from who the Pharaoh of today are no different, when he said
“He therefore got away therefrom, looking about, in a state of fear. He prayed "O my Lord! save me from people given to wrong-doing."
( سورة القصص , Al-Qasas, Chapter #28, Verse #21)”
And then I compared it with the last thing my father said when he left us and he said "O my Lord! save me from people given to wrong-doing."
And then I said to myself, my father is walking on the road of the Prophets...
My precious Grand father, the people my father is fighting are the enemies of the Ummah who have looted its riches and have permitted the honours and forbidden and have humiliated the country and people and are those from who no time or place are free, their hearts are similar and their deeds and their pictures are different but they are one on barbarism and darkness and with Allah is all refuge. And you might say and I hope not, that the people my son is fighting are the ones who have said There is no god but Allah and are building mosques? And how many times did my father tell me, O my daughter Abu Bakr as Sideeq,(May Allah have mercy on him) when he decided to fight the people of apostasy Omar (May Allah have mercy on him) told him ‘Do you fight them and they have said There is no god but Allah, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) said the one who says There is no god but Allah then his money and lives are protected and his reckoning is with Allah’, then Abu Bakr as Sideeq,(May Allah have mercy on him) replied to him saying,’ By Allah if they do not give me even a single baby sheep from what they used to pay the Prophet of Allah, I would have fought them for it’, this is for their stopping the zakat only, then how about all those O my daughter who have stopped from various religious orders that Allah has revealed like Jihad and others. As for their building the mosques it is indeed only for throwing dust into the eyes, and Abu Jahl and others from the leaders of disbelief and Quraysh were more truthful than these in intention when they built the Kabah and differed in who should keep the black stone until the Prophet came and they left a part of the building incomplete because the Halaal money finished. Then in reality the money with which they build the mosques is our money which is stolen by the government and tampered everyday. My precious Grand father, my father was great when he left me for Allah the Almighty in whose hands are the keys of everything and the one whose treasures never end, He spends them as He wills, so don’t fear for my sustenance for Allah wrote it for me from the day he created me and my father will return by the will of Allah but with victory and establishment declaring the end of the time of humiliation and subjugation and the beginning of a new time and I pray to Allah to enable us to follow him and help him in fighting the enemies of Allah the Almighty.
My precious Grand fatherIn the end of my letter I wish if you would forgive me and my wrong doings and that you do not forget my father in your prayer for the prayer of parents is never rejected, and it might be a simple prayer that might lead to victory and establishment...
