Ingushetian Shura Declares Jihad

Kavkaz Center news and information agency received a statement signed by Military Council Majlis Al-Shura of Ingushetia. The editors are publishing the text of the statement uncut and unabridged.

In the name of God, Most Merciful, Most Gracious!

Praise Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, peace and blessing be to our Prophet Muhammad, his family and all of his disciples.

Indeed, Allah created people so that He could be worshipped alone, so no companions are ascribed to Him, and He permitted Jihad on His Straight Way, so that the Religion of Allah could be above all, so that all areas of life could be guided by Islam, and so that the Earth could be cleansed of unbelief.

Allah said, «Make war on them until no more temptation remains…» (Anfal 39)

The reason why the Muslims are weak is because they abandoned the Jihad. Allah set the infidels on Muslims, these infidels are guided by ignorance and unbelief and in the Muslim countries they have tried to do everything to make Muslims forget their Religion. Enemies are taking the riches of Muslims, they are persecuting the Muslims and thus confirming the warning from Allah:

«They will not cease to fight with ye until they avert ye from your Religion, if they will be able to do it».

And this is what Russian infidels are doing on Islamic land of Ingushetia and in other Muslim countries today, when they are committing their gravest crimes.

Russian troops along with Ossetian formations were taking part in seizing Ingushetian territories and in expelling Ingushetians from their homes. Thousands of Ingushetian Muslims were killed and hundreds were missing. Many were maimed and humiliated.

Murders of Ingushetian men and kidnappings of ordinary Muslim men and women are continuing to this day. Ingushetia has turned into a den of gangs and tyranny.

Government of Russia has been conducting policies of imperial colonization by setting the occupied nations against one another. Every time Muslims demand independence, Russia attacks them by using the army of apostates, who are fighting on the side of the infidels against their fellow people, against the Muslims who desire freedom and independence. The situation in Chechnya and Ingushetia is an example thereof.

But times are changing. Signs of defeat of Russian invaders and their henchmen from among the apostates are already showing. Weakness in domestic and foreign policies, collapsing economy, desertion in the army, failure of the reforms, administrative anarchy, lack of security, drug trafficking, AIDS, elimination of social morals compared to the strengthening of Mujahideen and orderliness in organization of combat operations speaks about changes and the future victory coming soon.

False ideologies are collapsing, nations all around the world (including in Russia) are focusing their eyes on Islam as the only source of true justice, law and safety from tyranny, abomination and ignorance.

Military Council Majlis Al-Shura of Ingushetia is hereby making the following statement:

Having military training and military force, resorting to resources necessary to conduct Jihad on the Way of Allah, Military Council Majlis al-Shura of Ingushetia is declaring Jihad all across Ingushetia, with the goal to drive the invaders out of the Ingushetian land, to liberate the seized territories, to protect honor and dignity of Muslims, and to establish the Islamic State on the land of Ingushetia.

Military Council Majlis al-Shura of Ingushetia is declaring that Jihad is a direct responsibility (Fard Ayn) for each Muslim, an adult person and a person of sound judgment, citizen of Ingushetia, until the Ingushetian land is cleansed of the invasion, unbelief and injustice.

All Islamic scholars (Alims) are unanimous in the opinion that Jihad is mandatory for all, since the infidels invaded the Muslim land.

Allah imposes as a duty on each Muslim to conduct Jihad with their souls, with their property and their riches, with their knowledge and their word, to assist and support the Mujahideen in all actions against the infidels.

With the help of Allah we will restore justice, we will return what is rightfully ours and we will restore the right of the owners to their land (including Prigorodny District), where the enemy shed lots of Muslim blood.

Indeed, our mission is law and justice.

Everyone who cooperates with the invaders and helps them in the war against Muslims with weapons or with snitching thus becomes one of them. Requirement of the Shariah Law applies to such people. These people will be punished by death, because fighting shoulder to shoulder with infidels or helping the infidels in the war against Muslims banishes them from Islam. For Allah said that those who make friends among infidels become one of them. And Allah will not be guiding the wicked.

Muslims must be convinced that the only salvation and the only way to obtain honor and dignity is the Religion of Islam. Our enemies know it and this is why they are trying to do all they can to lead Muslims astray. They appoint their lackeys as muftis, imams of mosques, who in turn pervert the truth and lead Muslims away from the Religion of Islam; they spread ignorance and heresy; they split Muslims into groups and sects; they spread polytheism and they call to obey the enemies.

Muslims, do believe the promises of Allah about His help. Jihad on the Way of Allah is the truth that restores justice.

Allah is our Master and there is no help other than from Him.

Allah Akbar!!!

God is Great!!!
