Sheikh Ahmed Yasin's Letter To The Arab Summit

Palestine Chronicle ^ | April 03 2004 | Ahmed Yasin

[yonif]

"This is what I wished to advise you as our prophet, peace be upon him, taught us that advising one another is a religious duty.."

Following is the letter sent to the Arab summit meeting in Tunis by late Sheikh Ahmed Yasin shortly before he was extra-judicially assassinated by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on Monday March 22, 2004:

“Your majesties and highnesses,

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Baraktuh

The statement saying that glory of Islam is dependent on powerful Arabs places a great responsibility on your shoulders for you are the ones entrusted by Almighty Allah to cater for the Ummah’s present and future. The prophet, peace be upon him, says that Allah will ask all those entrusted with such responsibilities over what they had done to cater for such obligations. So exert whatever is in your power to cater for the future of the Muslim Nation that has been the target of enemies of Allah who have united to fight this Ummah.

You face today grave challenges and your peoples are looking forward to your summit’s resolutions. They are all hope that the resolutions would live up to the challenges facing the Ummah atop of which comes the Arabs and Muslims’ central cause: Palestine. I sincerely hope that this summit would agree on supporting the people of Palestine who are adamant on persisting along their Jihad march until Allah ordains victory that we aspire for and that will develop our Ummah with the grace of Allah.

I appeal to you to take into consideration the following issues that serve the Palestine cause:

First: The land of Palestine is an Arab, Islamic land that has been usurped by force at the hands of Zionist Jews and it can only be restored by force. And it is an Islamic Wakf land that should not be surrendered (not even one inch) even if we do not at present own the necessary force to liberate it.

Second: Jihad in Palestine is a legitimate right for the Palestinian people. And it is a compulsory duty on all Muslims, males and females. It is a grave injustice to describe such a right as terrorism on the part of enemies of Allah. And our people in Palestine totally reject such a description along with our Arab and Muslim peoples. We hope that the summit would take a clear position of support of our people's struggle.

Third: Our people, who are engaged in a battle imposed on them, deserve all forms of backing on the part of leaders of the Ummah. Our people need economic support to boost their steadfastness after the evil Zionists destroyed all sources of a dignified living for that people and stole their wealth. Our people also need military, security, medical, moral, diplomatic and other forms of support that would help them persist in Jihad. Our people look forward to the summit to win such support.

Fourth: We appeal to you to halt all kinds of normalization with this enemy and to close down its embassies, consulates and commercial offices. We urge you to activate boycott of that enemy and to end all contacts and cooperation with it.

Fifth: The Ummah owns the necessary potentials and capabilities that enable it to support national causes and put an end to the enemies’ aggressions. I believe that time has come to follow Allah’s Words: “And hold to the rope of Allah and do not be divided” in order to be a power in the current age of blocs.

Sixth: The Aqsa Mosque is pleading to you to save it from Zionist demolition schemes. Who is for the holy Mosque after Almighty Allah other than you?

Seventh: We call on you to extend all kinds of support to the people of Iraq to get rid of American occupation as supporting the people of Iraq is support for the Palestine cause and the Palestinian people.

Your majesties and highnesses:

This is what I wished to advise you as our prophet, peace be upon him, taught us that advising one another is a religious duty. I pray that Allah would unite your stands in support of His religion and to unite your lines for the sake of the Ummah’s good and betterment.

Your brother,

Ahmed Yasin

I guess he forgot to include the part where he got blowed up real good before all his hopes were realized ... but now, he's enjoying his 72 dark-eyed houri virgins I imagine ... or maybe he got a big surprise ... I imagine the latter ...

Evil power crazed old men hiding behind religion to manipulate their sheeple.

Third: Our people, who are engaged in a battle imposed on them

Your people need to be nuked until there are no islamics left, or a reasonable fallout-limit is reached. On second thought, sc**w the fallout-limit.
