evil, and corruption that rushed madly to the blessed land of Yemen and dared encroaching upon the soil of the Noble Haramayn in the interest of a foreign, spiteful, divisive, Safawī plan. We announce that this sectarian mission aims at dividing the Ummah, weakening its forces, taking its riches, and occupying the Muslims’ sanctuaries in Makkah al-Mukarramah and al-Madīnah al- Munawwarah. This is a matter that we will never allow to happen, whatever the circumstances may be. Thus we have prepared two thousand fighters from the heroes of Faylaq ash-Shām to be under the command of the Servant of the Noble Haramayn, King Salmān Ibn‘ Abdil-Azīz Āl Sa’ ūd, so that they defend the lands of the Noble Haramayn and defeat the enemies of the Ummah from amongst the tails and arms of Iran in the brotherly land of Yemen. We do this to support the truth and out of loyalty to the one who stood by and supported the struggle of the Syrian people. And we indeed stand up in defense of the Muslims’ holy sanctuaries through our humble contribution of two thousand fighters from the best of the sons of Shām. We appeal to the countries from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation( OIC) to rush to stand in the face of this Safawī plan and to strive to stop all those who allowed themselves to transgress against our sanctities and holy sanctuaries. Indeed Iran’ s insolence and that of its tails will not be deterred except with resolve 2, and it will not be stopped except by the language of resolve, and this is what we are now doing with all strength and resolve, asking Allah( ta’ ālā) for victory and steadfastness.”
“{ And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers, [ That ] indeed, they would be those given victory And [ that ] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome } [ As- Sāffāt: 171-173 ].”
“ And our last call is that all praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the creation.”
“ Faylaq ash-Shām”“ 25 Rajab 1436 / 14 May 2015” This ends their statement of deviance.
2 Editor’ s Note: This and all subsequent usage of the word is in reference to the“ Storm of Resolve” announced by Āl Salūl.
It is important to note that when the apostates( the Tawāghīt and the Rāfidah) fight each other, it is not permissible for the Muslim to support one party of apostates against the other by fighting under the leadership of one party or fighting in its defense. Allah( ta’ ālā) said, { Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of tāghūt. So fight against the allies of Shaytān } [ An-Nisā’: 76 ]. So it is not permissible for the Muslim to fight against Āl Salūl under the leadership of the Rāfidī Houthis nor is it permissible to fight against the Rāfidī Houthis under the leadership of Āl Salūl. If he does fight under the leadership of the tāghūt in defense of his kufrī regime, he apostatizes from Islam. Therefore, the Muslim should know that the obligation upon him when the apostates wage war against each other is to declare his barā’ ah from both apostate parties and – if he is able – to perform jihād against both of them for Allah’ s sake.
As to the cause behind this deviant declaration being released, then it is the addiction of these factions to tāghūt aid. Initially, the tawāghīt trap them with supposedly“ innocent” and“ unconditional” aid before they slide down a slippery slope of concessions ending with blatant apostasy.
And so, will the jihād claimants of the Jawlānī front wage“ jihād” against their allies, the shameless slaves of Āl Salūl? Or are there endless excuses prepared for each blatant statement of apostasy made by them? Āl Salūl have now openly occupied parts of Idlib, Halab, and Shām in general through this“ legion,” Zahrān‘ Allūsh, and their brothers from the“ Islamic” Front. Worst yet, the factions of“ Jaysh al-Fath” are referred to as“ Ahlus-Sunnah” and the“ truthful mujāhidīn” by al-Jawlānī in his most recent speech!
May Allah expose the hypocritical and apostate allies of“ al-Qā’ idah” in Shām 3.
3 It is hizbiyyah and irjā’ that allowed the Syrian“ al-Qā’ idah” to support these apostate factions against the muhājirīn and ansār. See“ The Hizbiyyīn and the Grayzone” on pages 62-66 of issue # 7 and“ The Irjā’ of the Jihād Claimants” on pages 52-56 of issue # 8 to read about the deviance of these jihād claimants and how it led them upon this dark path. dabiq 7
