Sheikh 'ali raage with Abu 'abdallah Al-Muhajir

For the first time Harakat-Al-shabaab Al-Mujahideen (HSM) acknowledged officially the presence Al-Qaeda in Somalia, after the latter donated food aid and medicine for drought refugeesthrough Al-shabaabs  in camp Ala yaasir ,setup and run by Al-shabaab.

Somalia analysts for sometime suspected Al-Qaeda to be present in Somalia and operationally active, and to stay ahead of the phenomenon, it was revealed recently that, the US administration expanded drone operations under President Barak Obama to include Somalia , setting up secret bases in neighbouring countries, this was marked by intensified drone attacks on Shabaab controlled territories

“Somalimemo” Somali language islamist news website in close contact with HSM, released last night an audio statement read by it described as “an Al-Qaeda official in Somalia” by the name of Sheikh Abu Abdallah Al-muhajir .

Traditionally in Islamic theology, the Arabic title of “Al-muhajir” (Lit. The Emigrant) denotes the person who carries it, is either not a native of the area he is presiding or possibly a native who presided in a foreign country for a period of time and opted to immigrate seeking Islamic knowledge, Jihad, fleeing persecution or simply seeking a more condusive Islamic environment for the family, or any other reason justified in Islam not for a worldly pretext .

Al-shabaab spokesman Sheikh ‘ali Mohamud Raage (AKA Sheikh ‘ali Dheere) was also present at the ceremony, first presenting Sheikh Abu Abdallah Al-muhajir who speaks fluent English with American accent. I have transcribed the whole audio piece.

Sheikh ‘ali Mohamud Raage

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon on our prophet Mohammed and all his family and companions.

We thank Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He), who made Muslims one brotherhood (as) Allah says “verily believers are but one brotherhood”, for that reason, Whilst our brothers are at arms all over the world, especially those of the umbrella organisation which connects all mujahideen;-Al-Qaeda, whilst at arms, they have sent to their brothers in who reside Somalia, standing with them at this time of drought, and they previously spoke of aiding muslims (in Somalia), especially the Ameer (leader) of the Al-Qaeda Jihad Organisation Ayman Al-dhawahiri may Allah preserve him, and sufficiently before him our brother may Allah accept his martyrdom sheikh Usama Bin Laden , and today they make good upon that which they preached since it is also the conclusion of their drought campaign.

 (audio of Abu Abdullah Al-muhajir )

Abu Abdulla Almuhajir

“Asalamo ‘alaykom wa rahmatollahi wa barkaatoh [Peace be upon you (all) and the mercy and blessings of Allah]”

We praise Allah, seek His help, and ask for His forgiveness. We seek refuge in God from the evils of our souls and our bad deeds.

Whomever Allah guides none can misguide and whom Allah misguides none can guide. I bear witness that there is no deity (worthy of worship) but Allah alone, and I bear witness the Mohammed (pbuh) is his slave and messenger”

Allah says, after i seek refuge from Satan the outcast “and surely 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 are patient , “Those when afflicted with calamity say: “Truly To Allah We belong, and truly to Him is our return”:- “They are those on whom (Descend) blessings from Allah, and Mercy, and they are the ones that receive guidance.” Quran 2:155- 2:156- 2:157

“Al-hamdulilah (Praise be to Allah) we honoured and blessed to take this opportunity to send our heartfelt greetings to our brothers and sisters in Somalia and we also take this opportunity to tell you we love you all for the sake of Allah , and we sincerely relate to your suffering and affliction during these testing times.

Dear Muslims of Somalia, it is under these strenuous circumstances that we remember the role played by our beloved Sheikh Usama Bin Laden may Allah have mercy upon him. Sheikh Osama was deeply concerned about the plight of the Muslim Ummah (nation) all over the world, including the situation in Palestine, ’iraq , Kashmir and Afghanistan to name a few places.

Having actively participated in assisting various parts of the Ummah (nation) with everything for the past 30 years, the Sheikh (Osama)  also focused his attention specifically on the hardships and tests that have afflicted the Muslim Somali people for the past decade. He as leader of Al-Qaeda organisation played a major role in repelling invading force of the muslim land in Somalia, from the American invasion during the early nineties to the recent invasion of Ethiopia as well as the current invasion of AMISOM.

In addition to sacrificing his wealth and his life in the path of Allah though waging Jihad, the Sheikh greatly emphasised the importance of Muslims supporting each other, and he brought attention to the dilemmas affecting Muslims around the world. The most recent example of which is, the major flood that affected the millions Muslims in Pakistan, and today with graceful departure of our beloved sheikh and that beacon of Tawheed (monotheism) May Allah have mercy upon him, Al-Qaeda under the leadership of Sheikh Ayman Al-dhawahiri may Allah protect him, continuously highlights the plight of the Ummah and continuously supports them with every means at their disposal.

In a recent release Sheikh Ayman brought the drought in Somalia to the attention of the Muslim Ummah and encouraged to support their brothers in Somalia, and insha’allah (Allah willing) with this message some of what your brothers in Al-Qaeda have been able to gather will be distributed to our brothers and sisters, to our families in the land of the two migrations.

We would also like to take the opportunity to encourage Muslims all around the world, to come to the assistant of their brothers and sisters in Somalia, and it is obligatory on every Muslim to assist their needy brother and sisters, the prophet (Pbuh) said: “the believers in their mutual mercy, love and compassion are like a single body, if one part of it feels pain, the rest of the body join it, in staying awake and feeling the fever.

In addition to that, we would like to praise the continuing effort of harakat- Al-shabaab – al mujahideen, who while operating under extremely difficult circumstances, have made it their priority in helping their brothers and sisters …[inaudible] , and have risen above the lies and deceit distributed by the hypocritical western media.

Finally, we ask Allah to accept it from them and allow them to continue in their honourable efforts, and give them complete victory over the disbelieving forces.

Finally to our beloved brothers and sisters in Somalia, we are following you situation on a daily basis, and though a separated by thousands of kilometres, you are consistently in our thoughts and prayers, and regardless of the differences of language, color, lineage and culture, it is the pure creed of tawheed (monotheism) and that unbreakable bond of faith that unites us all.

We encourage you all to turn in repentance to Allah, increase your effort and put your trust in Allah, and by the permission of Allah you will emerge triumphant from these temporary hardships, despite the wishes of the disbelieving west to keep you in perpetual cycle of dependence.

Allah says in Surat (verse) Nuh “”I said (to them): Ask forgiveness from your lord, verily he is oft forgiving, he will send you rain in abundance and he will increase in wealth and children, and will bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers” (Quran 71:10 – 71:11).

We ask Allah to bestow upon you and your land abundant rain, put blessings in your businesses, farms and live stock, and all praises due to Allah the Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessing be upon our noble prophet.

Dhul-Qi’dah 1432

Sheikh ‘ali Mohamud Raage

“May Allah recompense you with the highest reward, we ask the Somali Muslim nation to warmly welcome their brethren. One can see the disbelievers are committing aggression against us, they’ve destroyed our homes, our land, killed our children, starved us, but our brothers are rushing to assist us, they’ve came to us from the farthest places in the world, so we say to them May Allah recompense you with great rewards.

The truth (of the matter) is, what brought them here is (the shared) monotheistic religious conviction, and as the brother pointed out (earlier), what we share the (Islamic testament of faith “there is no deity worthy of worship save Allah and Mohammed is the messenger of Allah”, without considering (other factor such as) language, colour, country, the only consideration as we mentioned earlier is “verily the believers are but one brotherhood”(Quran), and on those grounds did our brothers came to our aid and we say to them, “May Allah recompense you with the highest reward” , and we ask to redouble their efforts in all aspects, including repelling the invading disbelievers, and we ask Allah the glorified and exalted to accept those who die (from amongst them) as martyrs and protect those alive from the (evil) plans of the infidels.

To conclude this we now begin with the distribution.  “
