President Saddam Hussein's Message on the advent of
the Islamic New Year
Baghdad, March 4, Ina
In the Name of God , The Compassionate, the Merciful
Lord , do not cause our hearts to go astray after You
have guided us .
God speaks the truth
The great, sincere, patient , mujahed people in the Iraq
of dignity and glory…
Sincere believers in our Nation and everywhere on
earth…
Peace be upon
Today ,we mark the advent of the (Hejira) Muharam
month. As we feel the glory and fragrance of the ( Islamic ) message in
it as we do every year, we also feel the determination of early
believers led by prophet Mohamed bin Abdulla (Peace be upon him ) not to
relinquish their faith but to call upon people to say: “ We warship God
, the only God .” They said this after they had rejected despotism and
pruned the path of faith as their own course. They fixed landmarks for
all coming generation until faith and Islam have assumed their current
status.
Today, we also feel the fragrance and glory of the
message. We maintain in our sincere vision ,what early believers wished
for us and aspired for so that we can be on the right infallible path,
the path of faith with all the implying sincerity, zeal and the
requirements of jihad, be it within ourselves or in what we seek to help
others along it after winning the blessings of God almighty.
Prophet Mohamed (peace be upon him willingly took the
decision to move from Mecca to Medina in response to God’s order and in
obedience to Him . The believers followed suit. They left behind their
homes, families and possessions . They migrated not only to fend off the
harm which they had suffered together with their prophet (Peace be upon
him) after they had to undergo all forms of rigid- mindedness and
torture by the stone- hearted unbelievers who were haunted by the devil
and tyranny . They also moved to Medina because, prior to their
migration, the influence in Mecca and the will to harm the bearer of the
message and his followers were in the hands of the influential tyrants
and those who were driven away by their superiority in number . The
Prophet’s decision was not only motivated by the need to fend off all
the harm of the unbelievers but also to establish a capital for true
Moslems and a centre for their faith with the help of God who
facilitated for them the winning of the hearts of the (tribes of ) Aus
and Khazraj who were part of the Population of Medina and the settling
of faith in them . After the arrival of the Prophet and his followers,
Medina turned into a beacon of faith and virtue. Faith began to make its
way into the life and daily faring of people as law . sincere Moslems
presented a model of what they believed in , not only by means of
adherence to the values of their belief in the one God in the
confrontation of their enemies but also by means of the type of life
which the new faith preaches for man in terms of his freedom , daily
living , family relation and the link between the leader and those who
he leads .
Along with this , they were able to accomplish the
model of the new comprehensive faith in the light of their religion
which faced up to the model of the ramshackle despot and his mean and
dejected standard in all life affairs .
Under the umbrella of the glorious fraternity between
Muhajirin ( Migrants ) and Ansar ( supporters ) and the new status of
the population of Medina in accordance with the new faith , save the
jews of beni ( tribe ) of Quraidha , beni Quyraqq’ and beni Al- Nadhir,
and others whose hearts remained unchanged, the early steps of building
the army of jihad were taken . The great values of faith , the ability
to hold out and be determined to maintain jihad which were infused in
the souls of believers, all combined with the momentum of the right to
seek a return to their homes which they had left , to their families and
beloved ones. Thus , the ability to hold out rose to the standard which
God secured in them to help them defeat the partisans of the despot .
They emerged victorious after seeking the help of the Omnipotent and
mustered the pre-requisites of victory.
The idols, The symbols of in fidelity, division and
bigotry which till the last moment blocked the access of those who
believed in them to the right path collapsed. Those were motivated by
their bias against the course of faith ,virtue, guidance let being too
proud to concede their sin .
Sincere Iraqis , men and women ,brave Palestinians
and believers everywhere, when we recall all that within this very brief
account , we may ask : What is the despot of this age after?
Which way ,after God has guided us to believe in Him
,should be pursued to defeat him so that might ,as it should ,would
belong to God, the prophet and the believers?
As we recall the essence of that conflict in which
the believers were pitted against the unbelievers, between them and the
Romans , Persians and others after them , the despot of this age
,despaired and despised be he, imagines himself , an alternative of God
, the Greatest . He nullifies, be that explicitly or implicitly, every
trace or reform and all the faith, all prophets and messengers have
accomplished. in so doing , the despot thinks he is , just as God , I
take refuge in God from every obstinate tyrant, capable of ordering
everything to be as he wants it to be. Thus , the devil has enticed him
into the abyss of polytheism . God has also labeled him with all the
meanings that are apposed to the values of great values . What a nadir
and mean fate ! The despot , as represented in this age , in our day,
imagines he can enslave the people , confiscate their decision,
legitimate freedom and choices given that they were born free. They were
indeed freed by God’s will through prophets and messengers , to be
slaves only to Him and not to anyone of the people .
Patient, Jihadist, sincere Iraqis …
Palestinians and all jihadits in our Nation.
You have incurred harm , damage to your property .
You have lost dear ones . However, you have made of your homeland ,
after you have sought help in faith , the site of your great model which
you present to yourselves. Your Nation has been satisfied with it now
that it has resisted the despot . You have presented it to humanity as
well after your Nation . Your nation has therefore , come to support you
in its attitude in coordination with humanity in its stand , anywhere it
has found its way to justice . You are victorious by virtue of faith,
through the course of justice against injustice, virtue against vice ,
sincerity against betrayal and the fight of the mercenaries and
aggressors . The despot , along with his models , no matter how tyrant
he grows, is defeated . His arrogance would be in vain . The banners of
Allahu Akbar ( God is the greatest ) and No God but Allah , have become
the banners that prompt the vision of Jihadist believers reach the site
where the fragrances of messages and messengers pervades , to the time
when their companions had to suffer the bigotry of the unbelievers , the
disciples and subjects of the despot . They can see how faith won over
infidelity , justice over injustice, monotheists over the despot once
they trusted God and mobilised the needs for the confrontation . Just as
early believers who struggled and put up with harm to win God’s reward,
namely His satisfaction , a clear conscience and what God has promised
them in the other life and the reaps of victory in earthly life , you
would reap the gains of your patience, faith, God’s satisfaction and
what you expect God to reward believers with .
It is victory over your enemy . Let this be the basis
. Nothing else .
Thus , on this day , the advent of a new Hejira year,
all believers are victorious with God’s help , over the despot and his
supporters.
Many happy returns of the year.
God is the greatest ..
God is the greatest..
No God but God .
Saddam Hussein
