Here are more pictures of the Shaheed, inshaa’Allaah: Abu ‘Umar al-Maqdisi.
Also, here is a very beautiful tribute video in the Bosnian language to Abu ‘Umar, may Allah have mercy upon him. Click here to view.
And here are new pictures of the Shaheed, inshaa’Allaah: Waleed Saloom. He was killed by the Apostates whilst trying to stop the argument [before the fight]. He was a worshiper, a preacher, a respected figure, a peace bringer and a warrior. May Allah accept him amongst the Shuhada’.
In the eyes of the Hoor,
They are the honorable,
Floating in the lush Gardens,
Enjoying the Mercy of their Lord.
They could not get there except by
Throwing away the opportunities of the Dunya,
Behind their backs,
And accepting the call of Allah,
By living in difficulty and Jihaad,
With hope in their Lord for the reward.

Inna Lillaahi wa Inna Ilayhi Raaji’oon.
AllahuAkbar, AllahuAkbar, AllahuAkbar.
Our great Mujaahid Commander of Lebanon, Abu ‘Umar al-Maqdisi (a.k.a., Shehada Jawhar), has been martyred by the Apostate forces in ‘Ain el-Hilweh. The Apostate forces ambushed him and others this Sunday morning and he died because of the wounds sustained from the clash. May Allah’s wide mercy encompass him in His forgiveness and accept him amongst the Shuhada’.
Also, our brother - who was a close associate of Abu ‘Umar - Waleed Salloom, was martyred in the clash. May Allah accept him amongst the Shuhada’.
More information on this incident can be found here.
Who is Abu ‘Umar?
He was a steadfast Mujaahid, a pious worshiper, and a knowledgeable and useful asset for the Mujaahideen. He was loved by his people and hated greatly by his enemies. He was a weapons dealer in Lebanon and benefited our Mujaahideen brethren greatly from it. He later fled to ‘Iraaq after the call of the Shaykh ash-Shaheed (inshaa’Allaah), Abu Mus’ab al-Zarqawi - may Allah accept him amongst the Shuhada’ - for the purpose of making the word of Allah supreme and making the word of the disbelievers low and humiliated. He was an army of his own; a very agile and fit body, strong and commanding personality that had great military experience from beforehand; his knowledge of bomb making, weapons, guerrilla warfare strategies and weaknesses of the armies of the superpowers quickly made him the Ameer of military training and a respected Commander.
Abu ‘Umar said,
Victory is not required from us. What is required is to be ready for a jihad in the name of Allah, ready to reinstate Islam’s rule and Muslim caliphate. It is normal, if the army shoots at us, we will shoot back at them — normal.
When Abu ‘Umar was asked if he was a “terrorist”, he replied,
Yes, a terrorist. What’s the problem with that? If I want to terrorize the enemies of Allah, what’s the problem with that?
And when he was asked if he received death sentences, he replied,
I got several death sentences and was also sentenced to life imprisonment. There’s nothing to it. What’s the problem? They can pile on as many sentences as they like. This is a sign of honor for me.
Mashaa’Allaah, this was the strength of this man’s ‘Aqeedah, Yaqeen and Imaan in Allah Ta’aalaa. He was of those who feared none except his Lord - and we ask Allah for that to be so.
You can watch his translated interview with al-Arabiya here (or on youtube here and here).
And you can watch his interview with the New York Times here and read their report about him here.
Below are pictures of him taken today after his martyrdom. May Allah accept him.
Please do not forget him in your sincere Du’aa.
Allah has blessed him with what he was searching for.
A man who lived in obedience to Allah,
Searching for the opportunity to meet Allah as a Shaheed.
For years, he rushed across the sands to wage Jihaad,
And circled the enemies of Allah.
Allah accepted his effort,
And has joined him with the martyrs,
His wildest dreams have just come true.
O’ Where are the men of this Ummah in search of similar dreams?
Or are our dreams limited to the enjoyment of this life?
Two idols fall… January 25, 2008
Posted by revolution in : 'IrÄq, Lebanon, News, Poetry, Political Poetry , add a commentTwo idols fall…
One in ‘Iraq,
One in Beirut.
The idols which had covered the horizon,
Are now smashed into pieces,
Shattering the morale of their worshipers.
