Condolences to the Ummah of Islam on the Martyrdom of the Esteemed Sheikh Jamal al-Misrati - Attiyah Allah (May Allah

Have Mercy on Him)

Translated by AMEF

Be sure we shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or lives or the fruits of your toil, but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere. Who say, when afflicted with calamity: "To Allah We belong, and to Him is our return": They are those on whom descend blessings from Allah, and mercy, and they are the ones that receive guidance. [Al-Baqara: 155-157] All praise be to Allah, the Lord of all that exists, and may prayers and peace be upon the Master of the Mujahideen, our Prophet Muhammad, and on all of his family and companions: The Administration of al-Fidaa Islamic Network presents condolences to the Ummah of Islam and to our brothers in the al-Qaeda organization and to their head, the Esteemed Leader Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahiri, may Allah protect him, and to the Esteemed Scholar Sheikh Abu Yahya al-Libi, may Allah protect him. We offer our condolences on the killing of the Esteemed Mujahid Sheikh Attiyah Allah Abu Abd al-Rahman, Jamal Ibrahim al-Misrati, after spending most of his life in the battlefields of jihad as a Mujahid, student of knowledge, and an emir, working as its guiding force. So, we ask Allah to have mercy on him and accept him among the martyrs. And to Allah we belong, and to Him is our return. And we call on his brothers who remain after him to stay steadfast on the path of Jihad and to defend Islamic and the Muslims in order to raise the banner of truth and spread the authority of Islam on the earth. This is the obligation to Allah for the people on this path, as Allah the Glorious said: Muhammad is no more than an apostle: many were the apostle that passed away before him. If he died or were slain, will ye then turn back on your heels? If any did turn back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah. but Allah on the other hand will swiftly reward those who serve Him with gratitude. Nor can a soul die except by Allah"s leave, the term being fixed as by writing. If any do desire a reward in this life, We shall give it to him; and if any do desire a reward in the Hereafter, We shall

give it to him. And swiftly shall We reward those that serve us with gratitude. [Aal-eImran: 144-145] Indeed, the killing of our Sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, increases in us - we the people of the Jihadi media especially determination to hold fast to the rift and undertake our work to the fullest extent possible in fulfillment of the efforts of Sheikh Attiyah Allah and to fill one of the gaps of his journey. He was an excellent teacher and a guiding force for his brothers and humble towards them. We ask Allah to leave us with goodness, to protect our leaders and sheikhs, to make them steadfast in their religion, make their unity everlasting, and safeguard them from the evil of the enemy and all evildoers. And may peace and Allah's prayers and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and on all of his family and companions. Your brothers in al-Fidaa Islamic Network 1433-01-05 AH 2011-12-01 AM
