Many wonder how have the radical Wahhabi ideologues been able to create an army of suicide bombers in their war against the world to create a global Wahhabi Khilafat. The traditional wisdom is that it is the lure of the hoor in the hereafter that leads young men to find a way of leaving this world in a hurry. This is no doubt true. You just have to read the writings of Maulana Masood Azhar, the terrorist who was freed from an Indian jail in exchange for passengers on the hijacked Indian Airlines Flight 814 (IC814) and went on to found Jaish-e-Mohammad, the most successful in creating suicide bombers. He describes what goes through the minds of these young men who are on the way to their suicide mission – fantasies of sex with young virgin hooris in Heaven where they will soon be as they have been told by the likes of Maulana Masood Azhar or Hafiz Saeed of Lashkar-eTayyeba.
But there is more to it than the lure of hoor. One important influence is exerted by incredible stories of miraculous help from God that is awaiting them at every step in this so-called Jihad. In the following write-up Osama Bin Laden’s mentor, Sheikh Abdullah Azzam, recounts concocted stories of the Karamaat (miracles) of the Auliya in the so-called Jihad of Afghanistan to motivate young men in this and other theatres of war. These stories are interspersed with the stories of miracles from the time of the Prophet. The irony of the matter is that the main criticism of Wahhabi ideologues against the mainstream Muslims, many of whom revere Sufi saints is that they recount so many stories of miracles performed by Sufi masters. But I suppose Wahhabi ideologues believe that everything is fair in war, including contravening the Wahhabi ideology itself in order to win a war for the establishment of a Wahhabi caliphate in the world. – Sultan Shahin, Editor, New Age Islam

By Osama Bin Laden’s mentor Sheikh Abdullah Azzam
The Shuhadaa refuse to hand over their weapons Shaheed Meer Aagha refuses to hand over his revolver at Laukar.
Zubair Meer Ilm narrated to me:
Meer Aagha gained Shahadat amongst them. He had a revolver. The Mujahideen attempted to take his revolver but he refused to hand it over. When we delivered him [i.e. his body] to his home, his father -- Qaadhi Meer Sultan, addressed him thus:
0 my son, this revolver is no longer yours--it belongs to the Mujahideen... He released the revolver.
Shaheed Sultan Muhammad refuses to hand over his Kalashnikov at Lankar
Zubair Meer Ilm narrated to me:
In February 1983, Sultan Muhammad attained Shahadat, while clasping in his hands his Kalashnikov. The Russians came and tried in vain to take it. Eventually they cut off his hand. Muhamtnad Shereen narrated to me:
Muhammad Ismail and Ghulam refused to release their weapons after Shahadat.
Shuhadaa Smiling
Arsalaan narrated to me that:
Abdul Jaleel was a pious student. A shell from a bomber struck him and he became a Shaheed. After performing Salaatul Janaazah upon him, they took him to his father’s home. It was at the time of Asr and he remained there until the morning. All this time some Mujahideen were with him.
He opened his eyes and smiled. The Mujahideen came to Arsalaan and said that Abdul Jaleel as not passed away. He replied, “He has certainly attained Shahadat. “The Mujahideen said that it is not lawful to bury him until we can confirm his death. It is necessary to repeat the Salaatul Janaazah. Arsalaan assured them saying: “He had attained Shahadat yesterday, and this is the Karaamat of a Shaheed.”
Humaydullah smiles.
Muhammad Umar, the general leader of Baghmaan reported to me:
Humaydullah was honoured with Shahadat whilst amongst us. When burying him, I found him smiling. I thought I was imagining. I therefore came out and wiped my eyes. I then found him to be the same.
Fathullah, one of Haqqani’s senior leaders, narrated to me:
I saw the Shaheed, Suhait Khan 4 days after his burial. We opened his grave and he was smiling. Khairullah says: “I saw him looking at me.”
The Shuhadaa do not Change (i.e. their bodies do not decompose)
Maulwy Abdul Kareem narrated to me:
I have seen more than 1200 Shuhadaa. Not one of them had decomposed.
Not a single Shaheed have I seen who was eaten by the wild dogs, whereas they would eat the Russian bodies.
Fathullah narrated to me that a Mujahid with him, whose name was Hakeem, narrated to him:
We took out the body of Shaheed Tameer Khan seven months after his burial. He had not changed, and his blood continued to flow, accompanied by the fragrance of musk.
Jalaaluddeen reported to me, at a place called Jaidraan Baktiyaa. I have not seen any Shaheed whom a dog had eaten. I witnessed a Shaheed whose name was Jalaab. His body was exposed to the wild dogs for 25 days whilst communist bodies were all around him. Dogs had eaten of the communists’ bodies, while none had touched the Shaheed’s body.
ABaby (who was martyred) holds on to her Mother’s Breast who was also a martyred and Refuses to Let Go.
Both Yourdal and his assistant Muhammad Kareem narrated to me:
A woman and her baby were martyred. Her husband’s name was Minjal. Some people tried to remove the baby, but were unable to separate her from her mother.
The Du’a of the Mujahideen and Allaah Tamale’s Aid for Them Their supplies were exhausted and Allaah Ta’ala assisted them.
Yourdal of the Jaghto district, Wardak narrated to me:
A battle lasting 7 days took place between the communists and us. On the seventh day, our ammunition was depleted. That night, the communists were attacked from all sides. We could not make out the source of fire. The Kuffar were astonished by the type of ammunition that rained upon them since they had never seen anything like it before.
Five hundred of them were killed, of which 23 were officers. The rest fled. They also had a few Muslim captives, so they asked them: “From where did you [the Muslims] get this ammunition. We [the Russians] have never seen it before.”
Sa’dur Rahmaan of Ghamaan narrated to me:
At Mount Wayjal we became extremely thirsty. The thirst tired us down and we were unable to travel continually. We asked some shepherds if there was any water around. They said that there was none in this area. We then sat down and made Dua unto Allaah Ta’ala. Suddenly, close to us, water began gushing out of a boulder. We all drank from it. We were 45 Mujahideen.
Khiyaal Muhammad, the brother-in-law of .Jalaaluddeen Haqqaani, narrated to me:
We were about 60 men, 20 at one position and 40 at another. The enemy forces numbering approximately 1300 approached. They were equipped with tanks, armored cars and artillery guns. I stood up and made Dua unto Allaah Ta’ala, reciting the Aayat:
And you [0 Muhammad, in reality] had not thrown at the time when you threw, but Allaah had thrown.
(NOTE: This Aayah is also the Dua to be read at the time of firing a weapon It makes reference to the incident where Rasullullah sallAllaahu Alaihi wa Sallam threw a handful of sand in the direction of the Kuffar; and it went into each ones eyes.)
I took a handful of pebbles, recited over it “May their faces be disfigured “, and threw them towards the tanks. I then cried [unto Allaah Ta’ala] with great fervor. This was after the Zuhr Salah. The first tank came along and fell off a bridge after being hit by some bullets. A Mujahid then threw a small grenade to the side of a tank, which went off The Kuffar presumed it to be a mine under the tank. They thus stayed clear from the center of the road. The next tank cantered of the edge of the road since the ground below it was not firm. The road was thus closed to the tanks. The troops then alighted from their armored vehicles and surrendered.
The spoils that were captured at this battle:
1) A Daushka weapon
2) 7 Mortar launchers.
3) 19 Medium Range Mortars.
4) 12 R.P.G. [Rocket propelled grenades]
5) 2600 Kalashnikovs [AK]
6) Seven 82 =mm Rockets.)
7) 26 000 Daushuka rounds of ammunition.
8) 28 Armored Cars.
We burnt the rest which included many artillery guns.
Abdur Rahmaan, a leader at the battle of Baatuur narrated to me:
The enemy came with a battalion of 800 to 1200 men, equipped with 58 tanks and armored carriers. We were 30 men. The battle continued for 3 days. On the third day, we were left with only 3 rounds of a Bren machine gun. At the time of Asr we admitted to ourselves: We will not be able to halt the enemies’ onslaught. After the Zuhr salaah, we made Du’a unto Allah Ta’ala. We then ascended a fort and shot at the armored cars. The cars exploded with all their contents. The army ran forward and surrendered to the Mujahideen.
The Spoils:
1) 5 Tanks intact
2) A Large Artillery Gun
3) 30 armored cars intact
4) 16 Sam missiles
5) A large quantity of Klashnikovs
Other Karaamaat of the Mujahideen
Water comes forth from the barren land A number of Afghanis took up temporary residence in a barren land of Pakistan. Water came forth in this area, and the region became lush.
Some Pakistanis became covetous over this, and expelled the Afghanis from this region. The water then dried up once more.
Mist enshrouds the mountain on which the Mujahideen were.
Jalaaluddeen Haqqaani narrated to me:
During the days of the Russian advance, we were not able to light fires on the mountains on which we were, since the spies who saw any smoke would report it to the Government. Allaah Ta’ala sent mist to cover the mountain for most of the year, thus the smoke was not visible.
Those Mujahideen whose families were in the interior were not martyred
Jalaaluddeen Haqqaam reported to me:
During the days of the Russian advance, the Government [communists] would kill all the relatives of any Mujahid who attained Shahadat i.e. who was killed fighting the Russians. It is from Allaah Ta’ala’s Grace and Favour that not a single Mujahid whose family was in the interior i.e. enemy territory was martyred. Only those became Shaheed whose families had migrated.
Birds with the Mujahideen
Birds would appear before the jets and the Mujahideen would thus perceive the arrival of the jets. The reports of this fact have reached Tawaatur i.e. such a large number of independent reports, which rules out fabrication. The birds used to come with the jets, racing ahead of them. It is well known that these jets fly twice or thrice the speed of sound.) The Mujahideen are unanimous that when the birds would take part, losses were minimal or none at all.
Some have narrated to me that they had seen a very large number of birds.
Muhammad Kareem said: “I had seen them more than twenty times.”
Jalaaluddeen Haqqaani said: “I saw them a great number of times.”
Arsalaan said: I saw them on numerous occasions Some of those who saw them many times are Muhammad Shereen, Maulwy Abdul Hameed, ilm Qar, Fadhl Muhammad, Jaan Muhammad, Khiyaar Muhammad, Wazeer Badsha and Sayyid Ahmad Sha Ali Khan.
A Cloud Protects the Mujahideen
Muhammad Yaasir narrated to me:
I was observing an encounter in which the enemy jets were attacking a group of Mujahideen in an open area i.e. they had no place to hide. We [who were observing] made Du’a unto Allah Ta’ala for the Mujahideen. Suddenly a black cloud of dust covered the battlefield, and the Mujaahideen were saved.
Abdul Kareem Abdur Raheem narrated to me:
Two tanks drew close to us and opened fire. They intended to capture us alive. We made Du’a unto Allaah Ta’ala. Black dust rose and covered the area. And by the Grace of Allaah Ta’ala we were saved.
Tanks shattered without any anti-tank weapons
Qadhi Abu Taahir Baadghasi, took an oath and narrated to me:
We were 30 Mujahideen with only 15 rifles, and the enemy attacked us with 40 tanks and 15 armored carriers. The communists were destroyed, and their tanks and carriers shattered. Only two carriers survived. When asked the reason for such a defeat, they replied: Heavy artillery was used against us. The Qaadhi takes an oath: I saw the vehicles demolished although we had neither artillery guns nor machine guns.
Abu Thabaidah narrated to me:
We attacked the communists at Aurghan, and destroyed three camps. We accomplished this with a single tank which itself was captured from the Russians. On the other hand, the communists had 120 seven-inch artillery guns and 60 anti- tank guns. In a trench we came across a communist soldier crying, while his loaded rifle was at his side.
Conclusion
[In this chapter the author has discussed many of his impressions and has made an appeal to the Muslims. Also included are extracts from the introductions to the various impressions of the book. Only selected texts have been translated since most of the material is no longer relevant. This chapter therefore lacks coherency.]
The book was written in haste. I wish I could have recorded my impressions of the most marvelous event to occur in the past three centuries.
The Quran declares:
•Permission (to fight) has been granted to those who have been fought against, since they have been oppressed, and Allaah Ta’ala is most certainly able to assist them.
•Go out (in Jihad) whether lightly equipped or heavily equipped, and make Jihad with your wealth and your lives in the Path of Allaah.
•And prepare for them (the Kuffar) what you are able from strength...
•And fear such a trial/punishment that will not only befall those amongst you who have oppressed.
And know well that Allaah Ta’ala is severe in punishment.
•Oh you who have adopted Imaan, when you meet a group of the enemy in combat then remain firm, and remember Allaah in abundance so that you may be successful. Obey Allaah and His Rasool, and do not quarrel amongst yourselves for then you will lose courage, and your strength will be lost. And adopt Sabr, verily Allaah Ta’ala is with those who adopt Sabr
•And say to the people: Act as you wish. Soon will Allaah, His Rasool and the Mu’mineen see your actions, and you will soon be returned to Allaah the Knower of the unseen and the seen; then He will inform you of that which you used to do.
The Hukm (legal status) of JIHAD
The author has quoted references to explain the Shar’ee status of Jihad.
A summary of the discussion is as follows:
Under normal conditions of peace, Jihad is Fard-ul-Kifaayah in every Islamic state. What is being referred to is the Da’wat Jihad, the purpose of which is to invite the Kuffar to Islam, and to create the conditions conducive to this invitation. It is incumbent upon every Islamic state to send out a group of Mujahideen [invitors] to their neighbouring kuffaar state’s. They should present Islam to the leader and his nation. If they refuse to accept Islam, Jiziyah will then be demanded from them and that they become subjects of the Islamic state.
Jiziyah is a tax imposed on the non-Muslim citizens of an Islamic state. If they refuse this second option, the third course of action is Jihad to bring the kafir state under Islamic domination. Since today, not a single Islamic state can be found, such a form of Jihad remains a distant dream. The Ummah is in a state of moral decadence and has distanced itself from the Sunnah. A programme of Islah (moral rectification) will have to be completed before we, the Ummah, are prepared for this category of Jihad. Although this type of Jihad is, in principle, still applicable, the preconditions for this Jihad are absent.
If the Kuffar attack an Islamic state, then Jihad in defence of the state is Fardh. This is referred to as ‘Difa’ee’ (defensive) Jihad.
This Jihad first becomes Fardh on the armed forces of the state. If the armed forces are unable to halt the advance of the enemy, or due to indifference, do not take up this duty, it then becomes Fardh on all the healthy male citizens of the state to take up the Jihad. If they too are unable to prevent the enemies assault, then Jihad becomes Fardh-e-Ain upon all the Muslims of the state. This includes women and children [ie those who have not yet attained puberty, but are able to fight]
The Fuqaha have mentioned that in this condition, a wife should come out in Jihad even though her husband does not grant her permission. Similarly, a child should come out, even without the permission of his parents.
If the citizens of the Islamic state are unable to repel the enemy, or due to some reason do not engage in the Jihad, the duty then devolves on all those Muslims who are closest to the Muslims under attack. The Jihad becomes Fardh-e-Ain upon them.
> Here too, if these Muslims are insufficient, or fail in their duty, Jihad will be Fardh-e-Ain upon those closest to them.
In this manner, the duty will devolve on the closest Muslim country, then the next, and then the next. This will continue until Jihad becomes incumbent on all the Muslims of the world.
