and you see their sturdiness and strength. Yesterday these people were living in the
desert seared by scorching heat. Its sands hurt them, they endured in it loneliness,
alienation and suffering, and now here they are today wandering through the streets and
squares of the cities happily socialising. They are being entertained in the rural fields and
in their orchards shaded and pleased. So do not think that they shall leave this their day
and they shall return to their previous day. So no place remains for you O secularists, it
would be better for you to flee, for verily the Islamic State shall remain with the
permission of Allah, steadfast by the Power of Allah, victorious inshā'Allāh.
The caravan is moving, and the barking of the dogs does not harm it, and no fitnah shall
harm its soldiers ever again after today inshā'Allāh. All of the arrows have struck them,
and all of the spears have broken upon them, and they have felt all of the swords, and
they have been slandered with all types of lies. They have been accused of all the
shortcomings and charges, however they have not increased except in strength,
toughness, determination and remaining firm. So blessed are you O sons of the Islamic
State of Iraq and Ash-Shām. Blessed are you, for if it is not about you that the Prophet

ʿAqīdah (theology) and manhaj (methodology). Victory is in this path and you are firmer

to you for you have been patient and have gained.
Inshā'Allāh the conquests of ʿUmar have began, if one of you were to travel today for
hundreds of miles he would see only the flag of Tawḥīd, flying high and waving. No rule
beneath it except that of Allah, and no Religion except Allah's. The hypocrites are
humiliated, despised and retreating, the Monotheists are honoured, victorious and
conquering. So all praise is to Allah who kept us alive to realise this victory and this
blessing, and it matters not to us if after today we should be killed or wiped out.
It is sufficient for us that we meet Allah, to whom belongs might and majesty, with the
courts that we have established and by these limits that we have set, and by this Shari’ah
that we have implemented, in spite of USA hating it and the Jews hating it, in spite the
Ṭawāghīt hating it, at the head of whom there is Āl Saʿūd.
So O soldiers of the State, know that today you have entered into a new phase of the
phases of struggle, for you have returned to the cities, and controlled the grounds, and let
one of you be killed a thousand times before they think of going back. The cities and
