O Muslims in Ash-Sham: Factional Fighting is an American Evil and Cunning Conspiracy Against the ash-Sham Revolution that must be Avoided

Anyone who has followed the American policy against the blessed Ash-Sham revolution sees clearly that it follows several methods to contain it leaving it bankrupt of purpose; through the policy of flooding political dirty money to control the decisions of the factions and distract them with side battles, and the policy of subjugation against the Muslims in Ash-Sham by giving the green light to its criminal agent, Bashar, to use all kinds of weapons and put restrictions on those displaced in the camps, to the infighting policy between factions operating on the ground to distract them from the primary purpose and to drain their combating, material, and military energy, and to ease pressure on its criminal agent, Bashar. America has created this fighting through an atmosphere of division, and made it a followed policy by entering the Mujahideen in a maze of classifications between Kharijites and apostates and “Awakening” movement and transgressors against the state, (Baghi).

It also worked on the division between the Mujahideen: those belonging to Islamist and those belonging to the Free Army, and between moderates and extremists. We regret that some Mujahideen have drifted with these words, forgetting that we are all Muslims, and we share one belief, the doctrine of La Ilaha Ila Allah Muhammad Rasool Allah (There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah) and that our enemy is this criminal regime backed by the Kaffir West, which works hard to disunite and strike the Mujahideen through each other, as what took place in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the result in both cases was a great loss to the Islamic Ummah against the cunning West and its aides, though if the Mujahideen realized the seriousness of the plot then, some of them would not have sought to reap the fruits immaturely, and face other factions; When this fragmentation took place, which prolonged the oppressive regime, thus prolonging the suffering of Muslims in Ash-Sham. As we demonstrate this fact, we hold all factions fully responsible before Allah سبحانه وتعالى for every drop of bloodshed by the hands of the sons of this Ummah, which have only sacrificed their loved ones but to fight the tyrant of this age, and to live with dignity and pride under the guided Khilafah on the method of Prophethood, the law of the Lord of mankind, which is the glad-tiding of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم, and not for the killing of its sons at the hands of its brothers under any pretext.

O scholars in the land of Ash-Sham:

Allah سبحانه وتعالى has praised the scholars by His سبحانه وتعالى saying,

إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ غَفُورٌ

“Only those fear Allah, from among His servants, who have knowledge. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Forgiving”

(Fatir: 28)

This is a great responsibility Allah سبحانه وتعالى has entrusted in them, so strive to unite your ranks, and remove Muslims from division and fighting, and prevent every effort leading to it.

O Muslims in Ash-Sham the Abode of Islam:

It is your duty, now that you see the West has united against you, to meet your responsibility before Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and to support your sons who are deceived by these classifications and drifted behind them, and to stand boldly in the face of any attempt that will involve them in fighting that is not theirs, fighting only make the matter worse, and will add more suffering to the revolution.

O soldiers stationed in Ash-Sham of Dignity:

We know that Shariah has firmly laid down the limits of Jihad; do not allow the killing between you, your blood is sacred like the sanctity of the house of Allah, and Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم that you declared as your leader said:,

«لهدم الكعبة مائة مرة أهون على الله من إراقة دم مسلم»

“The destruction of the Ka’ba one hundred times is to Allah lesser than the spilling of Muslim blood”

So beware before you are inflicted with a calamity like your predecessors, and know that you will stand before Allah, the Avenger and Compeller

يَوْمَ لَا يَنْفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ * إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ

“The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children * But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart”

(Ash-Shu’ara: 88-89)

هَذَا بَلَاغٌ لِلنَّاسِ وَلِيُنْذَرُوا بِهِ وَلِيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ وَلِيَذَّكَّرَ أُولُو الْأَلْبَاب

“This [Qur’an] is notification for the people that they may be warned thereby and that they may know that He is but one God and that those of understanding will be reminded”

(Ibrahim: 52)
