Afghanistan: Let's Join Efforts in Winning our Independence
20 January 2017
By Shahamat Emarat
The history of our beloved country shows that religious scholars were at the
head of every resistance against foreign occupiers with the people standing
beside them as a cement wall. The past history is repeating itself once more.
After one and half decade of Jihad, by the grace of the Almighty Allah and due
to the sacrifices of the Mujahideen and support of the people, this blessed
movement has now turned into an Islamic and national uprising against the
invaders and their domestic hirelings all over the country. From Badakhshan
province to the vast Paktia, from Herat to Nangarhar and from Helmand to
Kandahar, the entire nation is engaged under a sole leadership in their
Jihadic efforts for the achievement of a common goal, i.e. to end occupation
and implement Islamic system in this blessed land.
The enemy wants to divide Afghans under false slogans which are attractive on
the outside but have imperialistic motives behind them. Their atrocities
against the nation during the decade and a half and their false claims of
prosperity and development are an open secret to the Afghans.
Experiences have shown that a nation can only preserve its faith and values
and achieve sustainable development when it is independent. Imperialism tries
to strip nations of their identity and ravages values that are dear to the
people. Therefore they are trying to change their culture and values. On the
one hand, they exploit their natural resources and on the other they render
them without an identity. Protection of this land from the invaders and
defending national and Islamic values is the responsibility of the entire
Afghan nation. When independence is achieved, no Afghan can be deprived by
anyone from serving the country.
Allah, the Almighty says in chapter Al-Hujarat
إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ
''The noblest of you in Allah's Sight, is the most God-fearing of you. Allah
is Wise and All-knowing''. (Chapter: 49, Verse: 13)
Similarly, the Almighty Allah says in chapter Al-Maeda.
(وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى وَلا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ
وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ)
''Help one another in what is good and pious, not in what is sinful and
rancorous. Have fear of Allah, for He is stern in punishment''. (Chapter: 5,
Verse: 2)
The Islamic Emirate has an open embrace for all stratum of the country,
specifically Afghans who are in the military ranks but unfortunately, are
currently at the service of the invaders. We call upon them to come and join
us in the pride of achieving independence of the country. We should join our
efforts in expelling foreign troops from our land and establishing an Islamic
system. This country is the home of all Afghans and we will build our home
with our own hands.
We have seen the consequences of the past two invasions. Others only destroy
our homes under the name of rehabilitation. We must come around to understand
that we can only make plans and implement them in the best manner and interest
of our people when the sword of imperialism has seized from hanging above over
our heads. And only then can the axle of our politics and economy revolve
around protection of our national interests and Islamic values. So let us all
first and foremost come together in winning our independence and forming a
system based on our sacred beliefs and then must we gird our loins to rebuild
our country and bring about prosperity.
