Qaida al-Jihad (General Command): Clarification from Sheikh Mustafa Abul Yazid (May Allah Protect Him)
"In the name of Allah and praise is to Allah and peace and blessings of Allah on the Prophet of Allah, and on his family and companions and those who aid him…)
So, as a clarification to our brothers and in order to remove doubts and in an explanation of the statement made by me in relation to Hamas movement, and the Mujahideen of Hamas, in a recorded interview with the reporter of Al Jazeera channel, Ahmad Zaidan, I say: We lay stress, several times, on clarifying the difference between- Hamas as a party and organization, it has its own thoughts and quite well known methodologies and it has its own specific political stands and we revealed on several occasions our stand from it and what all things we criticize them for; and from the Mujahideen in Palestine from Hamas and others, who do not necessarily share the burden of the perversion of the organization and its leaders and political stances, and these too are on levels when it comes to steadfastness and the correctness of methodology and thought. And Shaikh Ayman Az Zawahiri mentioned this difference on more than an occasion as was in his Open Meet “I have always differentiated in my words between the political leaders of Hamas and between the Mujahideen of Hamas, and all the other Mujahideen in Palestine, for the leaders of Hamas I criticized them and I still criticize them as long as they are adhering to the globalist Palestinian constitution, and as long as they do not declare abandoning the Mecca agreement, as for the Mujahideen of Hamas, and all the other Mujahideen in Palestine then I have supported them and I still support them, and I call the Ummah to aid them, especially the Sainaa tribes”
And upon this, I consider that our view and stand from the Hamas organization is clear and apparent. Hamas has performed great disasters and Shari’ violations, and –this humble servant (meaning Sheikh Abul Yazid) for example- had earlier advised them to leave these violations, before two years in my first meeting with Sahab productions in Rabi’ Al Akhir 1428 whereof I said “We advise them to withdraw from entering the polytheist councils and to withdraw from adhering and respecting the international and Arab decisions and that they should not place their hands in the hands of the treacherous, apostate agents in the Palestinian authorities and that they should not show allegiance and respect for the leaderships of the apostate organizations, and they should rectify their Aqeedah of ‘Walaa and Baraa’ and they must not concede on implementing the Islamic Sharia in lieu of acclaimed interests”. So our stand is clear, and all praise is to Allah. And how not, when Hamas is fighting in Gaza what it calls the ‘Al Qaeda methodology’.
As for what came forth in the interview with Jazeera, of my saying, that we and the Mujahideen of Hamas are on the same thought and same methodology, it was not an accurate statement and it is similar to the slip of tongue in an impromptu, though it was in my mind too at the time of the interview to stress upon the meaning of what I mentioned above and that is to separate between the truthful and righteous Mujahideen and between Hamas as a political organization, and upon this the mentioned statement does not express anything and is not relevant to our cause and it is obligatory to detail on this matter, and he is “exalted” who does not make mistake or fall short in any matter.
And if one says, is there in the ranks of the Mujahideen of Hamas who oppose Hamas in thought and methodology then our answer is :Yes, even if they are a few, and we see it obligatory on these people to instruct Hamas and in general its Mujahideen, as much as they can, and if it is possible for them to work under the banner of pure Tawheed and Sunnah, without any predominant corruption now, then they should work under it and leave Hamas
Notification- Al Jazeera channel edited from the recorded interview some parts, like the completion of the talk about Saudi Arabia, and about working in the Arabian peninsula and the talk about Syria and some other minor things perhaps under the pressure of limited time of the program and due to other motives
I thank all the brothers who pointed out to us the matter and thought and understood well , and the brothers who asked for clarification on what was apparent, including those who sent letters to us or wrote and discussed, so may Allah reward them with goodness, for their instruction , and may Allah accept their efforts
And I would specially mention the honorable Shaikh Abu Muhammad Al Maqdisi, for I went through his article and his beneficial clarification
This and we would like the brothers to excuse us on the delay of reply and reports some times, due to what they know of the conditions of war
I ask Allah to guide all of us to what pleases our Lord
Wa asslaamualaikum wa rahamtullah wa barakatuh
Your brother
Mustafa Abul Yazid
