The Shaykh’s charge to the student to deliver his message to the leaders in Afghanistan, which consists of two things: ruling by the Book and the Sunnah according to the way of the Salaf

The Shaykh : So what did I charge you with now, to convey to them?
The student : First: they should disavow.

The Shaykh : Allow me, no, on this point, that they declare, what did they not declare before?!
The student : What did they declare before?

The Shaykh : I mean, they declare that if they eliminate the aggressive tyranny, they will declare ruling by Islam?! You say they declared this repeatedly.
The student : They declared it, yes.

The Shaykh : And we have known this repeatedly and over and over, is this what I charged you with conveying to them?
The student : No, I said by the Book and the Sunnah.

The Shaykh : Okay, so did they declare this?
The student : They said: by the law of Allah. The law of Allah, by what?!

The Shaykh : O Shaykh, may Allah guide you, in truth you are confirming my previous statement: you need a jihad of a different type, you need a jihad of a different type, which is knowledge, correct knowledge. The law of Allah, the law of Allah in the concept of the Hanafi school.
The student: No.

The Shaykh : What do you mean?
The student : I mean, not in the concept of the Hanafi school, the law of Allah is applied.

The Shaykh : So I am explaining to you, you are now, although you are from the mujahideen, the mujahideen are supposed to have a straight line, not like the politicians who double-speak.
The student : Who understands the mujahideen other than you, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : How?
The student : Who understands the mujahideen, correct Islamic knowledge and seeking knowledge, other than you, and those like you are not present in the arena?!

The Shaykh : Yes, may Allah bless you, as for me, I was invited to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Hindustan, and so on, so I said to them: sometimes with the tongue of speech, and sometimes with the tongue of action: if this had been before that, then I am now apologizing to you that I want to pray here, I do not want to pray in the mosque, so I have now missed the caravan and all that remains for me is writing or advice or a word, and so on, so I ask you to be frank with your Muslim brothers as we Muslims are frank with you, do not say by the law of Allah, because the law of Allah, even the Shi'ah, even the Rafidah, do not say we do not rule by the law of Allah, right or wrong? Right, do you hear me?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Correct?
The student : They all call for the law of Allah.

The Shaykh : So, and you are one of them, you call for the law of Allah, but what is the law of Allah for you? Is it, for example, a book with no basis from the books of the Shi'ah called what? Al-Kafi, Al-Kafi, is this what you have, and so on? We asked you to convey to the group first: our peace and our thanks to them for engaging in jihad in the path of establishing the Muslim state, so they must declare their disavowal and their dissatisfaction with these fitnahs that occur between Muslims themselves, and that they have no hand or share or the like in them. Second: that they declare this in their magazine or elsewhere, and so on. Finally: that they declare that if they reach, if Allah wills, as we hope, sincerely: that they will establish the state of Islam on the Book and the Sunnah, and on the methodology of the righteous Salaf, and not on the Hanafi school, so you are now in the council changing, I mean, my phrase: the Book and the Sunnah and the methodology of the righteous Salaf, to the law of Allah!!
The student : I made a mistake.

The Shaykh : It is a stretchable word, and I fear that you will convey with this word!!
The student : I listen well and I understand what you say.

The Shaykh : But since the matter is so, why did you change the word?
The student : I made a mistake, I said...

The Shaykh : Okay, may Allah reward you with good, so I repeat the warning so that you do not make your mistake here.
The student : I made a mistake here, I made a mistake, there I will not make a mistake, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : Allah is the Greatest!! My brother, I repeat the warning, so that your mistake that occurred here, which is easy here, does not occur there, because there is no one there who can correct or remind, whereas now the reminder is in front of you.
The student : If Allah wills.

The Shaykh : So what you said in the lecture is acceptable from you, this is in truth incontestable, this is the ruling of Allah, and we brothers all know: we were still issuing fatwas on the individual obligation of jihad in the path of Allah there.
The student : Is it still?

The Shaykh : We used to say...
The student : We used to...
Another student: No, and it is still!

The Shaykh : Pay attention! And how is it still, and I told you what was the last conversation between us.
The student : There was a question last week, last Friday!

The Shaykh : Allow me, allow me.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : My brother, the speech of the night is erased by the day, so what about us still being in the day, we left the mosque and you were asked, I told you when you asked me this question: did you forget? The time is not far from you, did you forget my answer?
The student : No, I did not forget your answer.

The Shaykh : So you said: it is still, why do you say it is still, and I have answered that it has ceased?!
The student : You said it is still.

The Shaykh : How?
The student : You said it is still.

The Shaykh : And it is still what?
The student : I said: we used to and we still issue fatwas on the obligation of jihad in Afghanistan!

The Shaykh : Correct, but...
The student : Even the news.

The Shaykh : I have not finished my speech, allow me, we used to and we still, and I also told the story of the individuals who called me from Riyadh today or a few days after the killing of Jamil al-Rahman, I said to them: we do not know the reasons for the killing, and therefore it continues that this jihad and this support, and so on, until the truth becomes clear to us, I said this in this council, and after that I said what I answered you, and I wanted to leave the car, so the same question came to me, we said: now we are standing.
The student : I did not bring it to you.

The Shaykh : How? How?
The student : No, this week!
Another student: Ah, this week.
The student : Today, this week, this day.
Another student: Shaykh, excuse me, we asked you last week!

The Shaykh : No, allow me, my brother, the speech of the night is erased by the day, what about yesterday, I am today different from yesterday, what do we need with the previous question! But when I told the story, was the brother present or not?
The student : Yes, present, yes, present.

The Shaykh : Okay, I am not saying: you were there, there after the prayer in the mosque, but I answered you, I told you this question was asked today.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : And I answered with such and such.
The student : Yes, correct.

The Shaykh : So my answer is clear, so now I do not issue the fatwa I used to issue previously.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : What was my previous answer?! It could have been yesterday or the day before, but when it became clear to me the continuation of the fitnahs, and the attempt to eliminate the group of the recently deceased, it means the matter has become a fitnah, and it has gone off the line from which they started and to which they were heading in the path of eliminating Kabul, so I am now suspending the previous fatwa, so my purpose is to tell you: your speech that you said previously, I was implementing it with the fatwas that come to me from various countries, obligatory, and they confirm that it is obligatory or an individual obligation, not a collective one, I am convinced that the support must continue from every able person of every race, until the tyranny is eliminated, but now something has appeared in the field there that we did not think would happen, and we ask Allah - Mighty and Majestic - that we hear soon the news that will develop our view, and return us to our previous view.
The student : If Allah wills, I am confident of that, I, if Allah wills, will come to you, if you allow, after two or three weeks, with a full report from the group of Da'wah and Jihad, I mean the group of Jamil al-Rahman - may Allah have mercy on him - and the group of Hekmatyar on this matter!

The Shaykh : I do not accept it.
The student : Yes?

The Shaykh : I do not accept it, but I do not settle for it.
The student : No, with the instructions you instructed me with, they, if Allah wills, by the permission of Allah, will be concluded, I mean, if Allah wills, this will happen.

The Shaykh : And that they declare it, they declare it explicitly.
The student : Explicitly, yes.

The Shaykh : What do they declare?! Two things.
The student : Two things: their disavowal of the fitnahs, or of these fitnahs that occurred.

The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : And the second thing: that if they take control.

The Shaykh : Our Lord - Mighty and Majestic - supports them.
The student : On the Book and the Sunnah and the methodology of the Salaf, is this correct?

The Shaykh : Yes, correct.
