An Interview with
Shaykh Abu Hurairah
The military commander of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula
Question 1: Please introduce us to Abu Hurairah as-Sana’ani, and tell us about your parents and your studies.
Answer: Praise be to Allah and peace and blessings be upon the most honorable of Allah’s creatures (SAAWS) and upon his family and his companions.
As to what follows:
My name is Qasim bin Yahya bin Mahdi ar-Raymi. I am known as Abu Hurairah as-Sana’ani. I am married with four children, two sons and two daughters one of whom is married to one of the mujahidin brothers.
I have one sister who is married and four brothers, one of whom is detained at Guantanamo since the beginning of the invasion of Afghanistan, and another killed most likely by a man who is a contractor of the political security forces in Sana’a.
Of course, you specified the question about parents: they are fine, I ask Allah to protect them and use them in the benefit of Islam and Muslims. My father was imprisoned more than once and the officers of the political security and national forces continually give them trouble and raid their house in Sana’a.
My primary and preparatory studies was in a Science institution. My secondary schooling was in one of the shari’ah institutes. I used to take advantage of summer vacations by going to some of the centers of shari’ah. I was later enrolled in one of the Islamic universities but left it at the middle of the first year and went to Afghanistan.
Q2:The al-Qaeda Organization in the Arabian Peninsula battles against the Yemeni regime, targets the Saudi monarchy, carried out operations against the West and have recently targeted the Houthi Shi’a. Some might wonder, why open all of these fronts?
A: The Almighty Allah says: ﴾And fight against the disbelievers collectively as they fight against you collectively﴿ [9: 36].
And The Almighty says: ﴾Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of taghut. So fight against the allies of shaytan. Indeed, the plot of shaytan has ever been weak﴿[4: 76].
And The Almighty says: ﴾Allah does not burden a soul except [with that within] its capacity﴿ [2: 286].
When the Almighty commanded us to fight all of the polytheists, He informed us of their weak plotting and effect, and that gaining victory over them is made easy and within reach, and He informed us that this matter isn’t above our capability. We should only assault them through the gate: ﴾“Enter upon them through the gate, for when you have entered it, you will be predominant”﴿ [5: 23] and from real-life experience we indeed have seen the truth of what our Lord promised.
Furthermore, reality forces us to act this way since the international world of kufr today is mostly disunited except when it comes towards the pure Islam that our Prophet (SAAWS) was sent with. If we don’t fulfill the obligation of defending and repelling their oppression which aims to destroy us, then know that the ones who target the Muslims with bombs won’t be repelled except when these bombs are exploded amidst them and on their own lands.
As for targeting the Shi’a Rafidha in Sa’ada, it is because they involved themselves in the adoption of the American project which consists of tracking and going after al-Qaeda. Additionally, they have expanded inside the territories of ahl as-sunnah, and as a result their actions have led to the humiliation of some [Muslims]. It even reached the point where they assassinated some of the Imam’s of a Sunni Masjid as well as arrested two brothers from amongst ours of whom are Mashoor al-Ahdal and Hussain at-Tais and then handing them over to Ali Salih’s regime in exchange for 10 million Yemeni Riyals.
Q3:The Americans had bombarded the areas of al-Ma’ajala and Rafadh; what were the consequences of that bombardment?
A: The outcome of that bombardment is no lesser in brutality and criminality than what we hear of constantly in Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq, from the bombing of elders, women and children by the hands of the American criminals. The Almighty Allah had willed that the reality of the agent Ali Salih be exposed to his nation and to the entire world. On the other hand, people realized that in the mujahidin do the traces of hope lay in and that the [Yemeni Government] are in fact the enemies of the ummah.
Q4:Can you briefly tell us why the government of al-Saud is a legitimate target for the mujahidin?
A: The government of al-Saud in the land of the Haramain is adopting a war on the pure Islam and replacing it with an Islam that is pleasing to the West until it was credited by them and praised much. They have exhausted all of their abilities to wage war on the mujahidin, and have set themselves as a new shield for the Jews and Americans just as their history is a witness to their stances that have even exceeded the Americans in the protection of the Israeli Jews in the beloved land of Palestine.
Q5:Obama and the American administration often repeat the statement that “the terrorists have killed more Muslims in comparison with non- Muslims”? What’s your comment on that?
A: This Obama resembles Pharaoh in many aspects, and there is no room here to mention them all, but I remember here Pharaoh’s saying as Allah informed us about him: ﴾Pharaoh said, “Let me kill Musa and let him call upon his Lord. Indeed, I fear that he will change your religion or that he will cause corruption in the land”﴿ [40: 26]. Thereupon Pharaoh feared for the religion of the people to be changed by Musa and he feared that “corruption” (i.e., dissension or civil strife) would appear in the land because of Musa and his call. And this criminal Obama fears for the Muslims from their own sons, after which he sends out destruction and corruption upon the Muslims in all fronts including the non-conflict zones. It is astonishing that Obama started listening a lot to the agents of his agents and then believed them to be genuine.
He contradicts himself by making such a statement and truthful is our Prophet (SAAWS) when he said: “If you have no shame, then do as you like.”
But perhaps Obama is saying the truth if he meant that we kill those who have the characteristic of those Muslims whom he loves and they love him, whom he commands and they listen, the likes of Ahmed Karzai, Ali Salih, Muhammad bin Nayyif, Maliki and their soldiers, including their agents from among the Shi’a. With regard to those, indeed we have killed of them more than we killed of the kuffar of origin because the American’s were a lot cleverer than the apostates since they ransomed their blood for the blood of those who sold their religion in exchange of preserving the life of others (i.e., Americans); and to us the rule concerning them is that they are apostate agents and it is an obligation to get rid of them.
Q6:Why target Muhammad bin Nayyif?
A: Check out the Wikileaks scandals. Even though this information is not new to us, it will tell you about the leading role of this creature in serving his masters in Washington. Ask him about his prisons and its detainees. In it is the indisputable news and﴾“[I seek] the refuge of Allah [to prevent] that we take except him with whom we found our possession. Indeed, we would then be unjust”﴿[12: 79].
Q7:There are several examples ofthe individual operations in the West such as Nidal Hasan, Omar al-Farouk, Taimour al-Abdali, and the sister Roshanara Choudhury. What is your advice to the Muslim who seeks to carry out such operations, even if you have to put forward some military instructions in this respect?
A: Let me directly address my Muslim brothers over there: My Muslim brother, indeed those brave ones who have jealousy and concern about their religion and their ummah have recorded their stances towards their religion and the affairs of their ummah, so we consider them from those who won in their worldly life and their hereafter. And you, my honest brother, are no less than them in respect of jealousy towards the religion and ability. If you go kill a group of Jews or Christians after hearing that a pilotless drone killed a group of Muslims in Waziristan, and another person kills another group of them after hearing the killing of his brothers and sisters in Palestine by the Israelis and so on… an operation in their midst after each operation they commit against your Muslim brothers and sisters, if it were to be the case, would stop the striking, killing, occupation, humiliation and disgrace of our holy places that America and the West perpetrates.
Q8:What is your advice to the Muslims in the West in general?
A: I remind them of their Prophet’s (SAAWS) saying: “I am free of the ones who reside in their (polytheists) midst” and that the fate of their loyalty to the believers and their disassociation from the disbelievers is on the edge, and that their sons, daughters and honor are in danger. Whoever from among them can’t go out of what they are in, then they should fear Allah in their religion, in their soul, their sons and their brothers over there.
They should also be determined and intend that their stay there is only to assist their Muslims brothers and sisters, and that they should fulfill their obligation of coming to the aid of the oppressed ones in the face of the kafir and oppressive countries. As for executing operations on the ground there, this Inspire magazine thankfully works towards preparing great ideas for that matter, and soon if Allah wills, there will be a military section explaining what the Muslim should do in that field.
Q9:We hear about the large number of operations in the South of Yemen. What are the reasons behind that?
A: The mujahidin’s operations especially in Yemen are not restricted to a specific place with the exclusion of the others, but wherever oppression, persecution of people and wherever people’s rights are taken away thereupon the mujahidin go to repel the oppressor away from the oppressed, encourage people against their enemy and inspire them to take their rights with their own hands. Thus this is the least obligation towards the oppressed.
The Prophet (SAAWS) said: “Whoever forsakes a Muslim in a place where his sanctity is violated and honor is disgraced, Allah forsakes them in a place that they wish to be assisted in. Whoever assists a Muslim in a place where his sanctity is violated and honor is disgraced, Allah assists them in a place that they wish to be assisted in.”
