After fighting the oppression of the American authorities for over a quarter a century, the scholar Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman passed away on Saturday,18th February 2017, to his Lord; underlining by his death in the American prisons of tyranny, a compelling testimony that reveals the enmity of America to Islam and Muslims, and documents the lie and hypocrisy of America in what it claims of human rights. And this is not new for America; it, which did not have mercy on his old age and his illness as he was sick and blind, since it (America) has a black record of Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and Bagram prisons that remain a mark of shame on the conscience of America forever. America, which has not deterred from covering the crimes of its agent, the butcher of Damascus, in killing hundreds of thousands of people of Syria who rose up demanding liberation from the American grip, and in order to please Allah by seeking to apply His Shariah.
America got frightened from the sound of Alhaq (Truth) professed by Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman so it worked to restrain him behind prison bars, but the Sheikh the Shaheed underlined by his martyrdom a strong proof of the enmity of America to Islam and Muslims. And while Sheikh Omar proceeded to Allah a martyr in His cause, and a witness to the crime of the Pharaoh of this era, America – his martyrdom will illuminate the trail of the Dawah carriers who work to support the Deen of Allah and uphold his Word through the application of His Shariah after the demolition of the destructive regimes sponsored by America.
And we do not say except what pleases our Lord, indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return…
We ask Allah that He gathers us with him with the honorable caravan of Dawah carriers who walked on the path of the Prophets, under the banner of His Prophet (saw) on the Day of Resurrection, and that He honors us by His Might, His Power and His Ability that is not defeated by anything, with a clear manifest victory over the forces of tyranny, fighting Allah and cunning day and night to prevent the establishment of the Khilafah (Caliphate) State on the method of the Prophethood.
And to the Sheikhs of the Sultans we say: proclaiming the truth (Al-Haq) does not delay anyone’s provision (Rizq) nor does it shorten one’s lifespan, and you have a good example in Sheikh Omar and his predecessors of honorable Scholars. So, do not be afraid of the people nor of the Sultans and seek the pleasure of your Lord, by defying the oppression of the rulers who abandoned the law of Allah, so you may win the glory in this World and the Hereafter, otherwise Allah is Free of need and Praiseworthy.
