A Collection Of The Words Of The Ulama' Jihad Regarding Dawlah (ISIS Or Daesh)
14 January 2015
By Al-Ikhwah Al-Mujahidun
Sheikh Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi said:
‘Accordingly, we hereby declare that the organization
The Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam, is an
organisation that has deviated from the path of truth,
transgressed against the Mujahideen, have tendencies
towards Ghuloo (extremisim), are involved in the
shedding of the blood of the Ma'soomeen (those that
are protected), are confiscating their wealth, booty
and regionswhich were freed by them from the Regime,
they have caused the distortion of the Jihad, and the
fragmentation of the Mujahideen, they have turned
their guns from the chests of the Murtadeen
(apostates) and (enemy) combatants towards the
Mujahideen and the Muslims… to other documented
deviations.' (From the statement, ‘The Condition of
the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam and the Necessary
Stance Towards Them' – Page 4/5)
Sheikh Abu Qatada al
Filistini said: ‘Namely the
leadership of the Islamic State in Iraq with its
branch in Shaam , it has become clear to me with
certainty that this group through its Military and
Shar'ee leadership who legitimize their actions for
them, that they are the Dogs of Hell…I do not hesitate
in this rule because of the evil of their deeds and
actions.' (‘Message to the People of Jihad and the
Lovers of it' – Page 2)
Sheikh Al Muhadith Sulayman
al-Alwan: ‘Dawlah has no
right to attack an area and usurp it, while everyone
is saying: either you leave or we'll kill you, or
either you give us Bay'ah (Pledge Allegiance) or we'll
kill you… It is definitely not correct, because Dawlah
does not have a General Bay'ah, from the conditions of
the General Bay'ah is that the Ahl Hal wal Aqd (People
of Influence) elect him (the leader), and AbuBakr
(Baghdadi) was not elected by the Ahl Hal wal Aqd
(People of Influence), if his own leader was not
pleased with his actions how can he seek Bay'ah from
others? He is not the Khalifah of all the Muslims;
rather he is a leader of a group. And seeking Bay'ah
from others, then fighting those who do not give
allegiance, this is the actions of the Bughaat
(Transgressors) and not the actions of the people of
good and righteousness.' (From an Audio Recording
Published on the Internet).
The General Command – of
Tantheem Al Qae'da issued a
statement which stated: ‘Qae'datul Jihad (AQ) declares
that it has no links to the group of The Islamic Sate
of Iraq and Shaam (ISIS). We were not informed of its
creation nor counseled. Nor were we satisfied with it,
rather we ordered for its disbandment, for this reason
The Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam is not a branch of
the group Al Qae'da and has no organizational
relationship with it. Nor is the organisation (of Al
Qae'da) responsible for its actions and behaviors.‘
(‘Statement Regarding the Relationship between the
Group of Qae'datul Jihad (AQ) and the Group of The
Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam‘ – 21 Rabi ul Awwal
1435).
Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, the
Leader of Tantheem al-Qae'da
was asked why he has absolved Daesh (ISIS) from Al
Qae'da, He said: ‘There is a difference between the
two Manhaj (Methodology). Our Manhaj (Methodology) is
one of caution regarding the (protected) blood and the
abstention of operations wherein the (protected) blood
may be shed unjustly; in the markets, mosques,
neighborhoods and even between the groups of
Mujahideen. Our Manhaj as well is the desire to gather
the Ummah and unify it around the word of Tawheed
(Monotheism), and work towards the return of the
Khilafah Rashidah that is established through Shura
(counsel) and the satisfaction of the Muslims. (The
seventh Meeting with as Sahaab foundation – Rajab 1435
AH / Al Nukhbah - Page 11/12).
He also said alluding to them: ‘Their grandsons shall
loose in the Land of Shaam *** And your Lord is
sufficient as a Helper and Guide.'(‘The Eulogy of The
Martyr of the Fitnah (Sedition) Sheikh Abu Khalid al
Suri' – Page 3).
The leader of al-Qae'da in
Khorasan Azzaam al Amriki in
his eulogy for Abu Khalid al Suri said: ‘The finger of
blame in the responsibility for this incident has been
pointed to a group which is well known for their
Ghuloo (Extremism), harshness, Ta'sub (loyalty to a
certain group), dictatorship, tyranny and they have
alienated themselves from the way of the people of
Islam and Jihad in Syria as well as from the people of
knowledge, superiority and precedence among the
Mujahideen everywhere. Just as the group that was
mentioned is well known for avoiding and running from
issues, regularly engaging in schemes to avoid
confrontation and responsibility, infact they are
known to use Taqiyah and concealment (of matters)
different to what they express, this is the practice
of the extremist thinkers in this era contrary to
their predecessors of the Hurooriyah that were known
for truthfulness and the avoidance of lying.' (‘Eulogy
of Sheikh Abu Khalid al Suri').
The leader of al-Qae'da in
Khorasan, Ahmed Farooq,
commenting on the speech of the spokesman of Daesh
(ISIS) Adnani said: ‘But today we find he who has
restricted Islam and the link of Walaa (loyalty) of
Imaan to a very narrow circle, and deals with the
Ummah with superiority and belittling it. And sits
lurking waiting for its mistakes, then comes down upon
them in a single attack, they call on the Mujahideen
to deal with the Ummah with mercy and compassion,
while dishonoring (the statement), we see them
exclaiming in amazement: ‘Which Ummah do we go back
to? The Ummah of the Saudi Islam? Or the Muslim
Brotherhood or Suroori …? Allah is sufficient for us
and He is the best disposer of affairs regarding this
crooked thinking.' (‘We should be as the Bee' – Page
4).
The leader of al-Qae'da in
Khorasan ‘Abu Dujanah al-Basha‘
alluding to the Khilafah of Daesh (ISIS) said: ‘We
call for the return of the Righteous Khilafah on the
Prophetic Methodology, not on the Methodology of
deviation and lies, violations of treaties and
breaking of pledges; a Khilafah that is built upon
justice, consultation, affinity and unity and not one
built on oppression, Takfeer (declaring Muslims as
unbelievers), killing the people of Tawheed and
splitting the rows of the Mujahideen.‘ (‘This is Our
Message' - Page 1).
The General Shar'ee Committee
of Al Qae'da in the Land of Shaam
said regarding Daesh (ISIS): ‘Based on all the above,
Jama'ah Dawlah is considered a powerful assailant
group with a force which is closest in resemblance to
the Khawaarij in their charactersistics, qulaities and
identity and have additional attributes beyond that of
the Khawaarij like Taqiyah, lying, breaking of
covenants and taking false oaths and immorality,
raiding the Mujahideen at their fronts and withdrawing
from (other) fronts. Until today they refuse to submit
and seek judgment from the Shari'ah (Islamic Law). And
we say that it is permissible to fight this group.'
(Statement Read by the Judge of Al Qae'da in the Land
of Shaam Abu Abdullah al Shaami. Al Tahaya -Page 33)
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian
Peninsula issued a statement
wherein it states regarding the Khilafah of Daesh
(ISIS): ‘Based on all of the above,we do not see the
validity of this Khilafah nor the consequences that
results of it. We do not regard sinful those who do
not give Bay'ah. The declaration of the Khilafah has
caused the splitting of the ranks of the Mujahideen
and the division of their unity during this sensitive
stage.' (Statement Regarding the Words of Sheikh Abu
Bakr al Baghdadi ‘Although the Disbelievers Dislike
it' presented by Sheikh Harith al Nathari).
Sheikh Nasr Ali al-Ansi -
leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula
said: ‘The Declaration of the extension of the
Khilafah to other countries is not a true reality. And
this declaration may lead to the split of the ranks of
the Mujahideen and undermine their foundations based
on a mistaken Shar'ee' ruling.‘ (The First
International Press Conference).
Dr. Abdullah Muhaisini
said: ‘By Allah I have not seen the agreement of the
U'lama (Scholars) of Jihad in the world critisizing an
(Islamic) project and opposing it as they have agreed
in the criticism of the project of Dawlah in Shaam.
Allah knows that I do not oppose the project of the
establishment of the Islamic Khilafah, infact for this
very cause do we sacrifice our souls and blood. But
(we seek to establish it) upon the Prophetic
Methodology, not by alienating people and oppressing
them and splitting the ranks of the Jihad, and
refusing to refer the matter for judgment to the Law
of Allah under a weak excuse for which Allah has sent
down no authority.' (The Statement: ‘Have I not
Conveyed?')
The General Shari' of
Tantheem Al Qae'da in the Land of Shaam Dr. Sami al
Uraydi said in his
introduction of a message that links the reality of
the Khawaarij and Daesh (ISIS): ‘It was by the grace
of Allah on the brother Abu Hassan al Kuwaiti – May
Allah direct him - that he gathered a collection of
the words of Sheikhul Islam regarding the Ghuloo (Extremisim)
of the Khawaarij and the warning against them. This
research is fitting to be a starting point for broader
research to clarify the position of Sheikhul Islam Ibn
Taymiyyah regarding the Khawaarij. We ask Allah to
grant him the ability to free himself (for such a
task) and compile it.' (‘The Khawaarij according to
Sheikh al Islam Ibn Taymiyyah' – Page 4).
Sheikh Abu Mariah al Qahtani
the former General Shari' of Tantheem al Qae'da in
Shaam said : ‘ Another vile
face has appeared over the people of Shaam and a new
poisoned dagger whose filth is constant and harm has
spread, it is the face of the Khawaarij of the era;
Tantheem Jama'h Dawlah. Oh you who is hesitant in
fighting the Khawaarij of the era do you not know that
eliminating them is good and beneficial, not only for
the Muslims in Shaam but for the People in Iraq as
well, who have been burnt by their fire for years.'
(From the speech: ‘Oh He who is Hesitant')
Sheikh Abu Sayaaf Majid Ar
Raashid in his introduction
to a message linking the reality of the Khawaarij and
Daesh: The Noble Sheikh Al Shaamikh Ali Al A'rjaani
(Abu Hasan al Kuwaiti), who reminds me of the conduct
of the leaders who combined Knowledge and
Jihad,morality and moderation, sacrifice of the soul
and the wealth, and between Jihad of the tongue and
the weapons. He has fought theNusayris in their own
homes, and readily faced the extremists, and lectured
regarding the repelling of the assailing enemy and the
extremists. And today he has gathered the words of Ibn
Taymiyyah (May Allah have Mercy on him) regarding the
Khawaarij as a warning and caution against Daesh ….. I
advise my brothers to read what he wrote, and practice
its requirements, and pray for its author to attain
Shahadah and a good ending.'
Sheikh Muhammed bin Saleh Al-Muhajir
– one of the Sheikhs of Tantheem Al Qae'da in the
Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has issued a message
invalidating the Khilafah of Baghdadi by the name: ‘A
Summary Regarding the Debate of the Announcement of
the Khilafah'.
Sheikh Abu Mundhir Shanqeeti
a member of the Shar'ee Council of Minbar al Tawheed
wal Jihad has issued a complete message criticizing
the announcement of the Khilafah by Daesh by the name
‘The Announcement of the Khilafah ….. Through the
Scales of the Shari'ah'.
Sheikh Abdullah al-Hassani,
a member of the Shar'ee Council of Minbar al Tawheed
wal Jihad issued a complete message regarding the
nullification of the Khilafah of Baghdadi called: ‘
The Nusrah Husainiyyah in the Refutation of the
Khilafah of Baghdadi'.
Sheikh Abdullah bin Abdul
Rahman Shanqeeti – a Member
of the Shari'ah Council of Minbar al Tawheed wal Jihad
said: ‘Oh leaders of Dawlah: We thought that the word
of the Mujahideen will unite under your banner ….. But
you have divided it in every place! You have divided
it in Shaam …. You have divided it in The Peninsula
and you have divided it in the Maghreb … This is not
the path to establish the Khilafah! But this path, is
that of the of the people that revolt, the
opportunists, those seeking to gain power by any means
... These exclusionary methods do not build a state
nor does it unite the Ummah… If you carry on upon this
methodology and your followers take over (this
methodology) the division and differences shall
continue…. You are able, if you want, to unify the
ranks and the hearts …. But you are persistent in the
dispute and have set upon the ship of stubbornness and
persistence, and you further the transgression against
the elders that have opposed you. You have erred so
correct your errors…You have disobeyed so repent to
your Lord… You have deviated … soreturn to your
previous covenant, and do not be like the cow that
ascends the stairs and then is incapable of
descending! Know that your victories will not cover
the nakedness of your deviation..! For an Islamic
State derives its legitimacy from the Shari'ah not
from the strength of their weapons. (‘The Khilafah is
not the Disputed Matter' – Page 7).
The two Sheikhs Dr. Hani al
Siba'i and Dr. Tariq Abdul Haleem
issued a statement which reads in part: ‘We are
bearing witness, a testimony that we will be
questioned about in front of Allah. That these people
affiliated to this organisation known as Dawlah
Islamiyah (Islamic State), their Manhaj (Methodology)
is that of the Khawaarij, particularly regarding the
matter of Takfeer (Passing the ruling of Kufr) and
making permissible the (taking) of protected blood.
(Statement: ‘The Description of the Organisation and
the Reality of its Beliefs').
Sheikh Uthmaan Abu Muhammed
al Ghamirawi – Judge of the
Wilayah of Dagestan said: ‘Baghdadi is not the Khalif
of the Muslims, and giving Bay'ah to him is not
permissible, because Bay'ah to him splits the ranks of
the Mujahideen, and whoever gives Bay'ah to Baghdadi
is a Fataan (one that is creating sedition) and is
treading the path of spilling the blood of the
believers.' (The Address: ‘An Address to the
Mujahideen Concerning the Pledge of Allegiance to
Baghdadi').
Sheikh Nur al-Deen Nafee'ah
- is someone who is respected and highly appreciated
by the leaders of the Mujahideen and in their counsels
due to his experience and mastery both militarily and
in Islamic Knowledge – in a statement from his prison
cell in the Maghreb said: ‘The history of the
organisation of The Islamic State is on the contrary
of that (of an Islamic State), for within them is the
greatest witness thatthey are the furthest from the
Guidance and Prophetic Methodology … I decided to
issue this statement only after silence became a
stance that endorsed the crimes that were taking place
against our people in Shaam at the hands of The
Organisation of Islamic State.'
Luaa al Saqaa – the first
deputy of Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi,
imprisoned, serving a life sentence in Turkey - in a
letter from his prison cell said: ‘As all the
Mujahideen and those who truly care about the
interests of the religion, myself as well as my fellow
prisoners of the Mujahideen have been saddened by the
deviated actions of Jama'ah Dawlah, from corruption,
the spill of blood, the sedition and harm they have
brought to the Jihad and Da'wah in the Land of Shaam.
I announce my innocence from the actions carried out
by Jama'ah Dawlah of extremism and the application of
the laws of Takfeer (Passing the Ruling of Kufr) over
the Jihadi Groups, the regarding the taking of the
blood of the Muslims as permissible, the kidnapping
and killing of the Mujahideen, the assassination of
their leaders and from all of theirdeviant practices.'
Sheikh Abu al-Walid al-Ansari
said, criticizing the declaration of Dawlah: ‘The
announcement that Dawlah is now in Iraq and Shaam, it
has reached us that this was an announcement that was
made without the consultation of the Ahl Hal wal Aqd
(people of influence) of the leaders and scholars of
the Mujahideen in Shaam, and the new announcement at
this particular time is an outlet for the arrows of
the conspirators, inciting the enemy from one front,
and a door of discord between the Muslims and a cause
of Ghuloo (extremisim) in Ahkaam (Islamic Laws).‘
Sheikh Majid Al-Majid - Amir
of Abdullah Azzam Brigades in Lebanon
- warning against the declaration of Dawlah: ‘The
Declaration ofSheikh Baghdadi of the establishment of
The Islamic State of Iraq, according to our knowledge
and our assessment of the situation; it will become,
if it is completed and comes into effect , shall be a
catastrophe to the Jihad in the Land of Shaam, a
divider of the groups of the Mujahideen, creating a
confidante for the enemy through which (the enemy) may
enter the groups, inciting them against each other,
and will be used to fight each other.' (‘The Guidance
Regarding the Events in Shaam with the Announcement of
Dawlah Islamiyah'- Page 5).
Sheikh Hamid bin Hamd Al Ali
said: ‘Oh Abu Bakr (Baghdadi), does it please you that
the sincere advisors of the U'lama, the truthful
Mujahideen, the preachers openly voicing the truth,
the general Muslims as well as the people of
distinction among them, all stand in one rank, while
you and those with you of the Mujahideen of the
Muslims stand in another rank against them?.'
(‘Regarding the Fitnah [Sedition] in Shaam').
He also said regarding the issue of the Khilafah: ‘
The answer to what is called the declaration of the
Khilafah is the same answer that was given regarding
the previous declaration of Dawlah, and both
declarations of the declaration of Dawlah as well as
that of Dawlah in Iraq and Shaam are Batil (Invalid)
declarations.'
Dr. Eyaad al Qunaibi
said: ‘There is no relationship between recent
achievements of Jama'ah Dawlah through erroneous
policies that we have previously criticized and have
criticized in Shaam. Their achievements do not nullify
my position regarding their actions in Shaam. Because
I did not pass a ruling according to the intentions,
nor did I criticize being subservient to a certain
direction, but I pass a ruling regarding their actions
that they are not in accordance with the Shari'ah and
contrary to the Religion of Allah Ta'ala, and I still
hold this opinion.' (The Speech: ‘Beyond the Victories
of Iraq').
Sheikh Umar al Hadouchi:
‘The Jihad in Shaam is noble; Daesh has stained it
with their foolishness. They are holding to Walaa
(Loyalty) and Baraa (Disavowal) to their cartoon
Khilafah they have blocked their minds, they have
blindly followed Muslims of the revolutionists that
have not perceived (the reality) of the situation.'
(His Official Account on Twitter - 27 October 2014).
Sheikh Hassan bin Ali al
Kattani said: ‘They have
killed him, May Allah destroy them, and you have done
an atrocious thing oh gang of criminality and
grandchildren of Thul Khuwaysirah. Oh Allah take them
to task for they will not be able to escape you. May
Allah have mercy on you Oh Abu Khalid, glad tidings,
for this is the last nail in the coffin of the gang of
criminality.' (His Official Account on Facebook -
23February 2014).
Sheikh Abu Abdullah Muhammad
Mansour - Leader of Jaysh al
Mujahideen in Iraq: ‘The current leadership of what is
falsely called the Islamic State of Iraq, I have no
doubt that they have fallen into a lot of what the
Khawaarij have fallen into of Ghuloo (Extremism) in
Takfeer (Passing the Ruling of Kufr) and unlawful
killing, their practical reality proves that without
doubt. And every seeker of knowledge that is just,
perceives this reality.' (The Islamic State – Between
the Truth and Illusion' – Page 7).
Ansar al-Islam in Iraq,
issued a statement saying: ‘And we the leadership of
Ansar al-Islam officially announce, out of Islamic and
historical obligations, that the group of The Islamic
State of Iraq have forced us to respond to their
aggression and oppression and repay them with the
same. We never wished for the outcome of matters to be
as it was. The history of Jama'ah Ansar al Islam in
its relations with the banners of Jihad will witness
that it dealt with the banners of Jihad with steadfast
assistance or forced positive neutrality, and that our
fightagainst the Islamic State of Iraq is a just
legitimate cause, and a sanctioned (method) to repel
oppression and the aggression that has befallen us for
years, continuously by the Islamic State of Iraq, to
stop their harm for they were transgressing against
us. We are not oppressors and we did not start
oppression against anyone, and some claim that we
refuse reconciliation and this is a lie they have
spread against us.' (‘An Important Statement' – 12 Zil
Qa'dah 1434).
Abu Khalid Al Suri an adviser
to Daesh said: ‘The
generalization of the laws of Takfeer (Passing the
Ruling of Kufr) and apostasy and similarly the
accusation made against groups that they are
‘Sahawaat' generalizing over the groups as a whole,
without any proof or clarification, is from the
greatest of Major Sins and that which holds the most
sin and criminality. How can it be that those who
generalize this ruling over Jihadi groups as a whole,
seek to implement the Shari'ah and establish the
religion, as we know and have been informed regarding
their matter? And I call upon the leaders and the
group of the Islamic State in Iraq and Shaam to repent
to Allah, return to His command and surrender to His
Shari'ah'. (Statement dated January 17 2014).
Sheikh Abu Abdullah Sadiq
Abdullah al Sudani said:
‘This alleged State did not even gain control over
Iraq let alone extend itself to other territories, and
this is what has not been comprehended by Ahl Ahlaam
(People of Dreams).' (His Twitter Account: 7 March
2014).
Sheikh Abu Wafaa al Tunisi
commenting on the Bay'ah of Ansar al-Bayt al-Maqdis to
Daesh: ‘The disagreement with the extremists in Iraq
and Shaam is a disagreement in Aqeedah (Belief) and
Manhaj (Methodology), the Bay'ah of this person or
that person does not change the reality at all. And if
he knows of their deviation, then he is of them and
their brother in their deviance and innovation, and he
who does not know is being warned and advised.' (His
Twitter Account: 10 November 2014).
In conclusion, the Taliban
issued an advice to the Mujahideen in Shaam
stating: ‘ It is incumbent on the Muslims to abstain
from extremism in the religion, and passing rulings on
others without any proof, and they should not think
evil of each other, and should not listen to
accusations and shallow lies, for verily some
suspicion is sin.' (The Official Site of Harakah al
Taliban ‘Sawtul Jihad' – 10 July 2014).
