Fursan Al-Balagh Media [JUMADA AL-AWWAL 1434 A.H|| APRIL 2013] flag from among its flags, the commander, Shaykh Abū ʿUthmān Doku Umarov, and we ask Allah to accept him from among the martyrs, and that he settles him in Firdaws Al-Aʿlā (the highest Paradise) for indeed he never <strong>preferred</strong> this world over his Religion, may Allah have Mercy upon him. Noble, protective, brave, courageous, he did not weaken in fighting the tyrants nor did he soften, despite the severity of his illness he did not hide. We knew not of him except that he was unpretentious and of the most careful of people in supporting the Religion of Allah, as well as in his commitment to the jamāʿah (Muslim nation) and in unifying the ranks of the Muslims and in defiance to the enemies. So may Allah have Mercy upon him in abundance, and raise him with the Prophets, the truthful ones and the martyrs. We commend our brothers in the Caucasus who brought us joy in their unanimous choice of Al-Amīr Abū Muḥammad may Allah protect him, and benefit (the people) from his knowledge and make him a cause for the victory of the Allah's Religion and the defeat of the Russians. We urge them to continue upon the righteous path and to complete the journey of their Amirs. Indeed we are with them inshā'Allāh, we shall not relent in supporting them and assisting them, progressing upon the path of Khaṭṭab, Abū Walīd, Shāmil and Umarov. We ask Allah the Blessed and Exalted to keep us firm upon their path and join us with them without disgrace nor suffering from tribulation. We seek to fight, so we may sacrifice a soul no sacrifice made after it, so that we may be forgiven Our cheeks refuse that they should be slapped and upon soil after the stabbing they stumble No master from among us has died on his bed or has been late to the sounds of the battlefields And when a leader among us falls in battle, there rises In his footsteps an audacious, generous hunter And fighting for the noble ones is not a disgraceful act the Prophet's wish was to fight if he could repeat it And fighting for Allah is not but an honour for martyrdom is for the sins is an expiation Fighting is better than living a life of humiliation it forbids the depraved by its authority and its command O God, keep strengthened our attire until you see our dead bodies sacrificed for You scattered 8 {He will surely establish for them their religion which He has <strong>preferred</strong> for them}
