"O Muslims, Islam was never for a day the religion of peace. Islam is the religion of war. Your Prophet (peace be upon him) was dispatched with the sword as a mercy to the creation. He was ordered with war until Allah is worshipped alone. He (peace be upon him) said to the polytheists of his people, 'I came to you with slaughter.' He fought both the Arabs and non-Arabs in all their various colors. He himself left to fight and took part in dozens of battles. He never for a day grew tired of war. He (peace be upon him) passed away during the period he was preparing the expedition of Usāmah (may Allah be pleased with him). And from his last instructions – peace be upon him – was, 'Dispatch the expedition of Usāmah.'
"His companions after him and their followers carried on similarly. They did not soften and abandon war, until they possessed the Earth, conquered the East and the West, the nations submitted to them, and the lands yielded to them, by the edge of the sword. And similarly, this will remain the condition of those who follow them until the Day of Recompense. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) has informed us of the Malāhim (bloody battles) near the end of time. He gave us good tidings and promised us that we would be victorious in these battles. He is the truthful and trustworthy, peace be upon him. And here we are today seeing the signs of those Malāhim and we feel the winds of victory within them.
"And if the Crusaders today claim to avoid the Muslim public and to confine themselves to targeting the armed amongst them, then soon you will see them targeting every Muslim everywhere. And if the Crusaders today have begun to bother the Muslims who continue to live in the lands of the cross by monitoring them, arresting them, and questioning them, then soon they will begin to displace them and take them away either dead, imprisoned, or homeless. They will not leave anyone amongst them except one who apostatizes from his religion and follows theirs. And you will remember what I now say to you, and I entrust my affair to Allah.
"O Muslims, the Jews, the Christians, and the rest of the disbelievers will not approve of you nor abandon waging war against you until you follow their religion and apostatize from yours. This is the word of your Lord (the Mighty and Majestic) and the tidings of your Prophet, the truthful and trustworthy, peace be upon him. America and its allies from amongst the Jews, Crusaders, Rāfidah (Shi'ites), secularists, atheists, and apostates claim that their coalition and war is to aid the weak and oppressed, help the poor, relieve the afflicted, liberate the enslaved, defend the innocent and peaceful, and prevent the shedding of their blood. They also claim to be in the camp of truth, good, and justice, waging war against falsehood, evil, and oppression, alongside the Muslims! Rather, they claim to defend Islam and the Muslims! Indeed, they lie. And Allah spoke the truth and His Messenger (peace be upon him) spoke the truth.
"O Muslims, the apostate tyrannical rulers who rule your lands in the lands of the Two Holy Sanctuaries (Mecca and Medina), Yemen, Shām (the Levant), Iraq, Egypt, North Africa, Khorasan, the Caucasus, the Indian Subcontinent, Africa, and elsewhere, are the allies of the Jews and Crusaders. Rather, they are their slaves, servants, and guard dogs, and nothing else. The armies that they prepare and arm and which the Jews and Crusaders train are only to crush you, weaken you, enslave you to the Jews and Crusaders, turn you away from your religion and the path of Allah, plunder the goods of your lands, and rob you of your wealth. This reality has become as obvious as the sun in the middle of the day. No one denies this except for one whose light Allah has obliterated, whose foresight Allah has blinded, and whose heart Allah has sealed.
"Where are the jets of the Arabian Peninsula's rulers towards the Jews who desecrate the destination of our Messenger's Isrā' (al-Quds), peace be upon him, and who afflict the people of Palestine from amongst the Muslims with the worst of torment? Where is the support of Āl Salūl and their allies for a million of the weak Muslims who are all without exception being exterminated in Burma? Where is their chivalry towards the barrel bombs of the Nusayriyyah and their cannons, which demolish the Muslims' homes upon the heads of their dwellers from amongst the women, the children, and the weak in Aleppo, Idlib, Hama, Homs, Damascus, and elsewhere. Where is the jealousy of the Arabian Peninsula's rulers towards the noble women who are raped daily in Shām, Iraq, and the various lands of the Muslims? Where is the relief of the rulers of Mecca and Medina for the Muslims in China and the Muslims in India against whom the Hindus commit the worst of crimes daily, including murder, burning, rape, severing of joints, looting, plundering, and imprisonment? Where is their relief for them in Indonesia, the Caucasus, Africa, Khorasan, and everywhere else? The Arabian Peninsula's rulers have been exposed and disgraced and have lost their supposed 'legitimacy.' Their treachery has become clear even to the laymen of the Muslims. And their reality thereby became apparent. So their masters from amongst the Jews and Crusaders had no more use for them. And so their masters began to replace them with the Safawī (Safavid) Rāfidah and the Kurdish atheists.
"When Āl Salūl realized their masters' abandonment of them, their disposal of them like tattered shoes, and their replacement of them, they launched their supposed war against the Rāfidah of Yemen. And it is not a storm of resolve, rather it is the kick of a dying person, by Allah's permission, as he struggles during his last breaths.
"Āl Salūl, the slaves of the Crusaders and allies of the Jews, do not wish that any good should be sent down to the Muslims from their Lord. They remained for decades not caring about the tragedies of the Muslims all over the world generally, and in Palestine particularly. Thereafter, they remained for years allied with the Rāfidah of Iraq in a war against Ahlus-Sunnah (the Sunnis). Thereafter, they remained observing the barrel bombs of death and destruction in Shām for years, enjoying and taking delight in the scenes of Muslims being killed, imprisoned, slaughtered, and burned, and their honor raped, their wealth plundered, and their homes destroyed, all at the hands of the Nusayriyyah.
"Today they claim to defend Ahlus-Sunnah in Yemen against the Rāfidah! Rather, they have lied, failed, and lost. Their war is nothing but an attempt to prove themselves once again to their masters from amongst the Jews and Crusaders. It is nothing but a desperate attempt to turn the Muslims away from the Islamic State whose voice is high everywhere and whose reality has become clear to all the Muslims and therefore the Muslims began to gradually rally around it. Their storm is nothing but a storm of delusion after the fire of the Rāfidah scorched their thrones and after the Rāfidah's march reached the people of the Arabian Peninsula, a matter that will lead thereafter to the Muslim public in the Arabian Peninsula rallying around the Islamic State since it defends them against the Rāfidah. This is what frightens Āl Salūl and the rulers of the Arabian Peninsula and makes their thrones tremble.
"This is the secret of their supposed 'storm,' which, by Allah's permission, will be their imminent end, for Āl Salūl and the rulers of the Arabian Peninsula are not people of war nor do they have the patience for it. Rather, they are people of luxury and extravagance, people of intoxication, prostitution, dances, and feasts. They have become accustomed to the defense of the Jews and Crusaders for them and their hearts have drunk humiliation, disgrace, and subservience.
"O Muslims everywhere, has the time not come for you to realize the truth of the conflict and that it is between disbelief and faith? See on which front the rulers of your lands stand and to which camp they belong. Has the time not come O Ahlus-Sunnah for you to know that you alone are the targets? This war is only against you and against your religion. Has the time not come for you to return to your religion and your jihād and thereby bring back your glory, honor, rights, and leadership? Has the time not come for you to know that there is no might nor honor nor safety nor rights for you except in the shade of the Caliphate?
"And what saddens us and eats at our souls is to see some of the women, children, and families of Ahlus-Sunnah seeking refuge in the areas controlled by the Rāfidah and Kurdish atheists in Iraq. They stand at their doors, humiliated, disgraced, and displaced in the lands. And there is no might nor strength except by Allah. Those who carry the blame for the displacement of these Muslims and their humiliation are the evil scholars from the supporters of the apostate tyrants, the callers at the gates of Hellfire, those who confuse those poor people and portray the Islamic State to them as being the cause of evil and the source of hardships. They say, 'If not for them, you would live in safety, extravagance, luxury, and peace.' They portray the Crusaders, Rāfidah, atheists, and apostates to them as being people of good, justice, mercy, and compassion, and that they are the peaceful defenders of Ahlus-Sunnah! There is no doubt that these are the years of deception.
"O Ahlus-Sunnah in Iraq, and specifically our people in al-Anbār, be certain that our hearts are broken on account of your leaving of your homes and your lands, and your seeking of shelter in the territory of the Rāfidah and the Kurdish atheists, and your being forced to wander the lands. And even if some of your relatives are apostates waging war against the religion of Allah and allied with the Rāfidah and the Crusaders, then we don't hold you accountable for their crimes. So return to your lands, and remain in your homes, and seek shelter – after first seeking shelter with Allah – with your people in the Islamic State, for you will find therein, by Allah's permission, a warm embrace and a safe refuge. For you are our people. We defend you, your honor, and your wealth. We want you to be mighty and noble, we want you to be safe and secure, and we want your salvation from Hellfire.
"So seek shelter – after Allah – with the Islamic State. What do you wait for after the truth has become clearer than the day and after the spiteful Rāfidah exposed their reality? Here they are today slaughtering everyone considered from Ahlus-Sunnah in Baghdad and elsewhere. No one was saved from them, even their allies, supporters, aids, tails, and dogs from the apostates who had once belonged to Ahlus-Sunnah, those in the Sahwah, army, police, and elsewhere, those whom the evil scholars confused into fleeing the implementation of Allah's law in the territory of the Islamic State. So they became homeless, humiliated, fearful, and worrisome of the Rāfidah's cruelty, whereas the Muslims live in the territory of the Islamic State with might and honor, secure by Allah's bounty alone, with a life of comfort, going about the affairs of their business, livelihood, and trade, enjoying the grace of living under the rule of their Lord's law, and all praise and grace is Allah's. Therefore, O Muslims, seek shelter – after Allah – with the Islamic State.
"We direct a renewed call towards those who remained in the ranks of the Rāfidah and the Crusaders in the army, police, and Sahwah so that they repent to Allah and abandon their support of the disbelievers against the Muslims, and so that Allah accepts their repentance and forgives them and they are thereby saved from Hellfire. Rush towards repentance for its gate will not be closed until the sun rises from the West. Repent so that you might save your Hereafter before it is too late, for you have lost the worldly life, so do not lose with it your Hereafter for the sake of someone else's worldly life. Repent before the hands of the mujāhidīn reach you, for there will be no repentance for you thereafter, and you will lose both the worldly life and Hereafter. Repent, turn back, and return to your people. Repent and you will find them merciful towards you. Your repentance is more beloved to us than killing you or expelling you. Repent for we do not call you out of weakness. Rather, we call you while our swords are at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer from your necks. If you repent, you will not find from us anything except good and kindness.
"O soldiers of the Islamic State, be firm, for you are upon the truth. Seek help through patience, for victory comes with patience and triumph is for those who are patient. Be patient, because the Crusaders are bleeding to death, the Rāfidah are faltering, and the Jews are horrified and in dread. Your enemies have become weaker than they were yesterday – by Allah's grace – and are growing weaker and weaker, and all praise be to Allah. You have become mighty by Allah's grace. We say this without boasting. You are growing stronger and stronger by Allah's grace. So be patient, for it is one of two good outcomes, and it is just one soul, so sacrifice it cheaply for Allah's cause. {Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed. [It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'ān. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah? So rejoice in your transaction which you have contracted. And it is that which is the great attainment} [At-Tawbah: 111].
"I will not conclude without commending the brave lions of creed, the soldiers of the Caliphate, those in Baghdad, in its north and south, who are holding onto hot coals, who are firmer than stone, those who humiliate the Rāfidah in their strongholds and their major fortresses every day. How good you are! How good you are! We consider one of you equal to a thousand. If the Muslims are heedless of the greatness of your actions and the terror you inflict, then enough for you is Allah. Indeed, nothing is hidden in the earth nor in the heaven from Allah (the Exalted).
"And I commend the valiant men of tawhīd, the heroes of Islam, the brave mujāhidīn from the muhājirīn and the ansār in the defiant region of Baiji, the fortress of Ahlus-Sunnah in the north, and the mujāhidīn in the defiant region of Kirkuk who contest the coalition of disbelieving nations against the Muslims and who proved that the boots of the Islamic State today are from the heaviest of boots and its voice is from the loudest of voices. They have presented their blood and corpses as an evidence for that, and they offered their souls cheaply to defend Islam and its people. They made the Jews and the Crusaders in America, Europe, Australia, and Canada sleep with rage filling their hearts, powerlessness burdening their backs, and fear pounding their beds. How good you are! How good you are! You have proven that the Muslims will not be defeated as long as they hold firm to the Book and the sword with which our Prophet (peace be upon him) was dispatched. Be firm, may I be sacrificed for you. Be firm, because your assaults on the Rāfidah and their allies in Iraq not only make the Crusaders bleed and strengthen the pillars of the Caliphate, but will make the Nusayriyyah in Shām and the Houthis in Yemen collapse.
"And I commend the lions of walā' and barā' (allegiance and enmity for Allah's sake), the predators of al-Anbār who demolished the strongholds of the apostates, who made them swallow cups of humiliation and bitterness, who scattered them and expelled them, and who snatched al-Anbār from the eyes of the apostates and the throats of the Rāfidah, in spite of America and its allies. How good you are! How good you are! You have taught a lesson to the world that to Allah belongs all honor, and to His Messenger, and to the believers. Be firm. How good you are! Your next engagement by Allah's permission, will be Baghdad and Karbala.
"And I commend the lions of the Caliphate, the muwahhidīn (monotheists) of the Sinai Peninsula, the mighty and defiant who disbelieved in pacifism and treaded the path of honor, dignity, and manhood. They refused humiliation and subservience and offered their blood and lives for their religion. How good you are! How good you are! We consider you to be amongst those whom the Master (the Mighty and Majestic) described by saying, {men who are true to what they promised Allah} [Al-Ahzāb: 23]; we consider you such and Allah is your judge. We ask Allah (the Glorified) to allow us to see you in al-Quds very soon. It is a sufficient deed for you with Allah that you have pounded the beds of the Jews with terror.
"And I commend the lions of the Caliphate in Raqqah, Mosul, Aleppo, Dijlah, al-Furāt, al-Jazīrah, al-Barakah, al-Khayr, Homs, and Hama. How good you are, O heroes of Islam! How good you are! You are recording the Malāhim and restoring the glories of Islam. Be patient and firm, and be cautious, for the enemies of Allah are mobilizing, thundering, increasing, and threatening the people of Mosul. We believe that their mobilization will be for Raqqah and Aleppo before Mosul. So be cautious.
"And I commend the lions of the Caliphate in Damascus and Diyala, the patient, the firm, the warriors. How good you are! How good you are! A nation with people like you can never be defeated.
"And I commend the soldiers of the Caliphate, the valiant heroes of Libya, Algeria, and Tunisia. How good you are. Be firm and be patient, for the final outcome is for you, with Allah's permission.
"And I commend the mujāhidīn from the soldiers of the Islamic State in Khorasan and West Africa. We congratulate them on their pledge of allegiance, and we ask Allah to make them firm and grant them victories and consolidation. How good they are!
"And I commend the soldiers of the Caliphate in Yemen. We congratulate them on their advance and look forward to seeing more from them. How good they are!
"I will not forget to mention the captives in the prisons of the apostate tyrants everywhere. I say to them: We have never forgotten you for a day and we will never forget you, by Allah's permission. We will not hold back any strength or spare any effort or miss any opportunity, until we free the last one of you, with Allah's permission. So be patient and firm. I mention in particular the seekers of knowledge in the prisons of Āl Salūl. May Allah humiliate Āl Salūl and their supporters.
"O Revealer of the Book, O He who is swift to account, O Allah, defeat the parties, defeat them and make them tremble. O Allah, deal with America and its allies from the Jews, the Crusaders, the Rāfidah, the apostates, and the atheists. Our Lord, obliterate their wealth and harden their hearts so that they do not believe until they see the painful torment. Our Lord, forgive us our sins and the excess committed in our affairs and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people. And the last of our call is: Praise be to Allah, Lord of the creation
