BATTLE DIARY: A MUJAHIDS MOMENTS 23 Your all set for battle, your all ready, weapons cleaned, guns loaded, spare bullets available, you pray, you make dua, you ask Allah to grant us victory, you ask Allah let th<strong>is</strong> be the battle in which you attain the shahada. Its night fall, the moon <strong>is</strong> r<strong>is</strong>ing, we need to move, we start, B<strong>is</strong>millah, we move one at a time, single file, running low, we run across a small piece of land, we get to cover we sit, we wait. Heart <strong>is</strong> racing, the excitement, the adrenaline, feeling good, feeling like a soldier of the Islamic State on a m<strong>is</strong>sion. Sounds of explosions in background, ahead of us <strong>is</strong> a 500-600 mtr field, no cover, just open field. Team one, go go go, they move single file, running across, they get to safety, team two, go go go, single file, running through the open field, Allahu Akbar they get to their position. All of a sudden shooting between the brother’s and enemy starts, team 3 still waiting but now we are caught up in the cross fire, the night sky <strong>is</strong> lit up, tanks firing, mortars dropping, pkc, AK47’s, 23’s, 14.5’s firing like crazy. The moment being caught up in the cross fire, the urgency of joining the two teams, the confusion, the concern, the worry for your brothers. All of a sudden we get the order team 3 go go go, we run, single file, bullets wizzing passed us, you continue running, bullets are close, your making dua, its starts to get tiring, gun and amo vests wearing you down, you hear a brother shout, he tripped, falls, you stop, you wait, you get low as bullets flying over you, the brother catches up, you get to the olive trees. To your surpr<strong>is</strong>e the trees are low, your laying flat, bullets hitting close, the brothers fire back, the tanks support us, the feeling <strong>is</strong> amazing, you hear on the radio brothers have flanked the enemies and have taken the target, Allahu Akbar. We get up, we run towards our target, the enemies have retreated, we take position, we set up, we wait, then the most amazing thing happens, we get news that other major cities/towns/villages have also been taken, that moment you cant explain, the effort put in, brothers lost, brothers injured and victory <strong>is</strong> granted and the mujahideen start to make sajda shukr, an emotional moment, a moment to remember, Alhamdulillah that Allah allowed me to be part of th<strong>is</strong>… You hear shooting, the enemies are still around, the brothers fire back, and chase them out completely. A night to remember as by the end we have made significant progress. You take position and find a place to rest, everyone tired, everyone hungry, we rest, we pray, we eat. A MUJAHIDS MOMENTS 24 Sun r<strong>is</strong>es, the mujahideen are happy some v<strong>is</strong>iting the towns they have conquered, you see the moment when the parade of vehicles drive passed with mujahideen on the back of the trucks, everyone one happy, shouts of takbeer, a moment to capture. 29
