Retired Kuwaiti pop star joins al-Qaeda March 15, 2008
Posted by revolution in : AfghÄnistÄn, JihÄd, Kuwait, News , trackbackWe usually don’t post these kind of news items, but this caught our eye. We don’t have any way of knowing the truth behind this story, but it certainly sounds intriguing. If this is true, it is basically about a Muslim singer who gave up singing after realizing its sin and darkness and his tarbiyyah went all the way to its peak; participating in Jihaad fe Sabeelillaah in Afghanistan. The source is questionable and are much worse than al-Jazeera; however, we don’t deny that such a story probably does exist. Wallahu ‘Alam. As for him changing his life, it’s believable; here is a video about him. This is the story:
Retired Kuwaiti pop star joins al-Qaeda
A dream about death made him quit
DUBAI (AlArabiya.net)
A retired Kuwaiti superstar singer has recently the Gulf emirate for Afghanistan to join ranks with al-Qaeda and Taliban in fighting foreign troops there, according to a press report published Saturday.Hussein al-Ahmad, who was until recently one of the Gulf’s most famous pop stars, decided to join “his brother Mujahideen in Afghanistan to support Islam and fight along his fellow Muslims of al-Qaedaâ€, reported Kuwaiti daily Al-Rai Saturday.
Al-Ahmad has previously told Kuwait’s Al-Rai TV that the reason he decided to quit singing was “a dream†where he saw his “own journey from this world into the Hereafter through deathâ€.
“I’ve seen horrors and terrors I don’t think anybody else have. I thanked Allah for being alive when I woke up and I was grateful for the fact that He has given me a second chance,†the retired singer had said.
“I then informed my family and friends that I would retire from the dark world of sin (singing). Since then, my job has been to warn against arts and their sinning atmosphere.â€
The retired singer will soon appear in his new military outfit in Afghanistan, in a video expected soon in a website known to be close to al-Qaeda extremists, according to the paper.

Going by this video about the brother I think it might be true.

It is true. It was reported by his friend on the Hisbah forum. Al Khinzeerah picked it up from there.
Jazakullah Khair Sister,
Can you please provide the link from al-Hesbah’s forum if possible?
How freaky is the resemblance.
Subhana’Allah…

If the brother was guided through the dream, then know that Allah (swt) has bestowed a special bounty on him and special guidance. So his guidance to the truth and thereafter to Al-Qaidah is by ALLAH too.
Wallahu Alim
Did anyone save the youtube video linked above? May Allah -swt- punish the kafir or guide the cowardly muslim who deleted the video.
Salamo Alaiqum

Look how things have changed now….bearing in mind the source of info is Kuwaiti Tawagheet.
Almost looks like the whole thing couldve been a publicity stunt by Kuwait to attempt to deter pious muslims from Jihad.
Wallahu Alam
[Edit: It is not verified, so we have deleted it from here. In any case, even if that was the case, Jihaad is still permissible alongside the sinners]
