All praise be to Allah, the One who gives life, the One who takes life away, the One who
originates, the One who restores, the One who does as He pleases. None responds to His
affairs, and nothing follows His ruling. Allah said in His Exalted Book:
"$hu%Y$B(L%? 8$j)(r$a&4 $o !=$j)(@)&[ &L(r$G(a7$o 0L.Ra8&: (g%_u%b(;)$i$o &>(u$(*7 %=$^&57$J #P(\$i /c%_!
“Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by way of
trial. to Us must ye return.” (Al-Anbiya: 35)
And Allah said:
"$hu%Y$fC
( $q 8.f&e "L(r$F "=$f(D $K$o &.x7 $k&e "<$L&\(Z$* (g/@)%e (o$2 &.x7 &cr&;$N w&[ (g%@)(b&@%] (k&6$a$o!
“And if ye are slain, or die, in the way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far
better than all they could amass. .” (Aal-e-Imran: 157)
And prayers and peace be upon the Prophet Muhammad, who with his death makes light
of disasters when recalling befallen Muslims, and on all of his family and companions.
On a historic day, we left the knight of Jihad and the lion of lions Sheikh Usama bin Laden.
The ascetic, worshipping, Mujahid knight dismounted, and Allah seized him and took him
unto Himself, with his sword drawn over America: The head of infidelity, the essence of
evil, the source of depravity, the height of wickedness, and the location of oppression and
the symbol of savagery.
May Allah have mercy on him, he was a poison on America. He left in its heart a gaping
wound that can not heal. He was the one who assaulted it in its own home and achieved
what many strong nations could not do, after the Americans persisted in their actions a
long while. And in their minds, not one of their enemies could reach them or dare to move
against them.
And so we offer our condolences to the Muslim Ummah for its loss and its martyr, as we
consider him, and Allah is his Reckoner. We congratulate the Ummah at the same time
because its son, the symbol Usama bin Laden, lived as a valiant Mujahid and died as a
heroic martyr. His name persisted for numerous years, filling the hearts of the infidels with
worry, and his memory will remain for a long time as a nightmare chasing them
everywhere.
Today, O dear ones, is a day of condolences and congratulations, a day in which sadness
and joy are mixed, with pleasure and anger.
Yes, we are sad because we find in our hearts the pain due to the separation from our
Sheikh and loved one. He had a favorable life and fortunate character. Allah graced him
with many virtuous qualities and placed for him acceptance on the earth. May Allah have
mercy on him, he used to care strongly for the commands of this religion. He was strongly
concerned with the condition of this Ummah. He knew the value of the goal he was
seeking, so he cared little for the amount he sacrificed.
But we rejoice when we remember that he obtained what he desired and attained the
martyrdom for which he endeavored. He arrived at the homes of the righteous, Allah
willing. He became, all praise be to Allah, an example for those after him to be imitated,
and an example for the generations to emulate in honesty, loyalty, patience, and Jihad.

I will pass, and there is no shame in death for a hero if his intentions are true, and he waged Jihad
as a Muslim
We are sad for the loss of our leader, pioneer, sheikh, and imam, for whom Jihad was
delightful. Then, we rejoice when we know that Allah will not let his faction, supporters,
and soldiers be lost and will not deprive us of an Amir who will succeed him in
continuing the blessed Jihadi march with us.

The most splendid of great losses is the death of an Imam, and the most radiant of gifts is the rise
of an Imam
We are sad because we saw a martyr for the Ummah who was not buried as martyrs
should be buried and was not covered in earth as the Sunnah has instructed in all of the
heavenly Shariah laws. Instead, the Americans threw him into the open sea, like the evil
gangs of sea pirates do with their victims, or as those primitive people do who are
primeval in their backwardness and barbarism against their enemies.
But it delights us that with this act, they have recognized without noticing that Usama was
but a pearl who was among us for a period of time, and then Allah returned it to its shell
to resurrect him on the Day of Judgment with the greatest of martyrs who are gathered in
the stomachs of lions, beasts, and whales.
Then, our happiness increases when we discover that America, with its heinous action,
proved to the entire world that it was not only afraid of Usama in life but was also afraid
of him in death. Is there any greater honor than than this?!
We are sad when we see that Sheikh Usama was killed on the run, expelled, and
estranged, far from his homeland and family. But we rejoice when we remember that Allah
did not seize him until he delighted his eyes with the defeat of America and the collapsing
of its slaves and agents from the Arab regimes that are immersed in ignorance, agency,
infidelity, and corruption. Before his death, he witnessed the President of Tunisia fleeing
the country and sneaking away in a panic. And he saw the President of Egypt in prison
disgraced and humiliated. And he left the impostor of Libya, the atheist of Syria, and the
tyrant of Yemen staggering under the pressure of popular uprisings. And the kings and
presidents remain in the worst condition, as they wait for the demise of their life of
comfort and the arrival of punishment upon them. And everyone witnesses - some of
them in public, some in secret, and some who have realized it in their soul, but they deny
it - that these events that are sweeping through the Arab region are but a single fruit from
the fruits of Jihad that would not have happened without the Sheikh's role.
We are sad when we see that the Americans - from the unrestrained malice that enveloped
their chests and the hatred of Usama – descended into the streets singing and dancing
joyfully for his death... And we rejoice when we remember that those scoundrels, if they
knew what plentiful rewards Allah prepared for devout people and martyrs, the high
status, comfort, and happiness, then their weddings would turn into funerals, their
laughter into crying, and their delight into grief. But how could these dissolute infidels
know this or believe in it, and they are as the Glorious and Exalted Lord described them:
"/c$U$2 (g%l (c$: & d8$Y(i$(+8$_!
“They are like cattle,- nay more misguided.” (Al-Araf: 179)
We are sad for the departure of Usama while he was at the pinnacle of giving, and the
Ummah continued to be in need of him. And we rejoice when we remember that our
beloved Sheikh did not depart except after he chastened the Crusader West, broke their
power, and shattered their pride and arrogance. He encouraged the Muslims, and even all
nations, and he halted their ambition for what is in the hands of the Muslims, until gaining
the favor of Muslims was one of the priorities of their foreign policy. Then, he did not
leave us until he left Islam in glory, the Muslims with strength, and the Mujahideen in
agreement and as one. And the whole world has witnessed how the word of the
Mujahideen followed his order from east to west, and this hardly ever happened to
anyone before him.
O Ummah of Islam, the death of our Sheikh Usama bin Laden is a tragedy and catastrophe
with which Allah has tested our souls. We possess nothing before the judgment of Allah
and His might except to approve and surrender, and we ask Allah to satisfy us with His
judgment, bless us in His might, reward us for our loss, and succeed it for us with
goodness.
O Ummah of Islam, if we cried for him today, we would be excused, but crying does not fit
people like us. Today, we are an Ummah denied its blood revenge, and now is the time of
revenge and anger, not the time for crying.

Harm drops from the one who sheds tears when war has broken out and its fire burns harshly.
America, with its crime, did not realize the dangerous matter it created and what evil it
has provoked.
With this action, it left no place to reconcile with Muslims.
It proved with irrefutable evidence that it lies when it claims that it is not at war with
Islam. It proved that its policies toward the Islamic Ummah continues as it was before
today, built on deceit, treachery, and hatred. There is no difference between this era or the
era of any president.
O Ummah of Islam, do not cry for Usama, for what Allah has is good for him and is
permanent.
Do not cry for him. He who has waged Jihad like his Jihad, sacrificed like he sacrificed,
and was patient like he was patient, is not concerned with the manner in which he died
and went to Allah.

Do not cry for him, for today his life begins. Indeed, a martyr lives the day of his death.
Instead, rise and follow in his footsteps... Live how he lived in strengthening the religion
and defending the sanctity of the Muslims... And die how he and his companions died, for
this is the farthest reaching and most eloquent response to the enemies of Usama and
those who killed him. The least you can do is carry this out for the rights of this reverent
son.
He has exhausted his life, his wealth, and his fame in your service, so he is deserving of
not being forgotten.
Rise and oppose the oppressive Western, American, Zionist aggression with all of your
capabilities and energy, just as they fight us with all of their nations and communities and
parties and denominations... The responsibility of Islam is a necklace upon the necks of all
the Muslims, and Sheikh Usama bin Laden performed what was required of him and
departed the world excused and rewarded, Allah willing. So how will someone apologize
tomorrow in front of Allah who today stood inattentive and oblivious and who is
indifferent to what happens to Islam and the Muslims regarding great issues and serious
events.
May Allah have mercy upon our Sheikh Abu Abdullah Usama bin Laden with great
clemency, bestow honors upon him, and make him join the good people. May Allah make
the reward for his kin vast, give them the best respect, and compensate the Islamic
Ummah for its suffering with remuneration, merit, patience, and solace.
And in conclusion, we renew the covenant to our beloved and lost one and confirm and
cement it:
We are moving steadfastly on his path and following the truth. We will fight the Christians
and their followers, the Jews and their partisans, and the apostates and their agents, until
Allah judges between us and them, and He is the best of judges.
