But when <strong>the</strong> enemies of Allāh place <strong>the</strong>ir swords upon <strong>the</strong> throats of <strong>the</strong> Muslims and
terrorize <strong>the</strong>ir children and elderly, and overtake <strong>the</strong>ir states and violate <strong>the</strong>ir chastity - <strong>the</strong>n
it is obligatory from among all <strong>the</strong> people of ability to fight <strong>the</strong>m and spill <strong>the</strong>ir blood and
make an ongoing Jihād against <strong>the</strong>m until <strong>the</strong> full liberation of Palestine and all <strong>the</strong> countries
of <strong>the</strong> Muslims. And it is not allowed in <strong>the</strong> Sharī’ah to surrender any of <strong>the</strong> lands of <strong>the</strong>
Muslims to <strong>the</strong> Jews or to make peace with <strong>the</strong>m because <strong>the</strong>y are a people of deception and
deceit and of breaking of treaties.
And I see that in this time, in which <strong>the</strong> Muslims are unable to (fully) fight <strong>the</strong> Jews and
destroy <strong>the</strong>m and expel <strong>the</strong>m from <strong>the</strong> Holy Land, that <strong>the</strong> best treatment and <strong>the</strong> greatest
medicine that we apply to <strong>the</strong> bro<strong>the</strong>rs of monkeys and pigs (i.e. <strong>the</strong> Jews) is that we perform
<strong>the</strong>se martyrdom operations, and put forward our souls as a sacrifice for <strong>the</strong> motivation of
Īmān, and for praiseworthy goals, such as planting terror into <strong>the</strong> hearts those who disbelieve
and inflicting damage upon <strong>the</strong>ir bodies and losses in <strong>the</strong>ir wealth.
And <strong>the</strong> evidences permitting <strong>the</strong> martyrdom operations are many and I have mentioned
elsewhere around ten evidences, and I’ve listed <strong>the</strong>ir fruits, and <strong>the</strong> benefits of performing
<strong>the</strong>m.
He, <strong>the</strong> Most High, said:
﴿ ومِن الناسِ‏ من يشرِي نف ْسه ابتِغاءَ‏ مرضاةِ‏ الل َّهِ‏ والل َّه رءُوف بِال ْعِبادِ‏ ﴾
“And amongst mankind is he who sells himself, seeking <strong>the</strong> Pleasure of Allāh. And
Allāh is full of Sympathy to (His) slaves.” 107
And in <strong>the</strong> narrations of <strong>the</strong> Companions and <strong>the</strong> Imāms of <strong>the</strong> Tābi’īn, concerning <strong>the</strong>
meaning of this verse, are strong evidences concerning that <strong>the</strong> one who sells himself to
Allāh and plunges into <strong>the</strong> ranks of <strong>the</strong> enemy headlong, without turning back, even if he is
certain that <strong>the</strong>y will kill him, that he is a Muhsin (i.e. sincere in his devotion) in that, and that
he receives <strong>the</strong> rewards from him Lord with <strong>the</strong> patient ones and <strong>the</strong> hopeful martyrs.
And in “Sahīh Muslim”, #3,005 from <strong>the</strong> path of Hammād Ibn Salamah, “Thabit Al-Banānī
narrated to us from Abdur-Rahmān Ibn Abī Laylā from Suhayb from <strong>the</strong> Prophet, peace by
upon him, in <strong>the</strong> account of <strong>the</strong> King, Sorcerer, Monk, and <strong>the</strong> Young Boy. Till <strong>the</strong> end of
<strong>the</strong> Hadīth.
And in it <strong>the</strong> Muwahhid (pure mono<strong>the</strong>ist) young boy proclaimed to <strong>the</strong> kāfir king, “You will
not be able to kill me until you do what I say!” [The King] said, “What is that” He replied, “[You
should] ga<strong>the</strong>r all <strong>the</strong> people on a single plain and tie me to a [tree] trunk. Then, take an arrow from my
