AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): In a statement, the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly denounced the crime of the loathed Zionist regime in the martyrdom of indefatigable Mujahid, Dr. Ismail Haniyeh.
The statement is as follows:
بسم الله القاصم الجبارین
وَ لا تَحسَبَنَّ الَّذینَ قُتِلوا فی سَبیلِ اللَّهِ امواتا بل احیاء عند ربّهم یرزقون
In the Name of Allah, the Crusher of the disobedient, the Destroyer of the oppressors
“Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord;” (Holy Quran, 3: 169)
The AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly expresses its condolences on the loss of the outstanding commander of the Resistance, Abul Abd Ismail Abdussalam Haniyeh, who was martyred in a cowardly assassination at dawn today by the brutal Zionist enemy.
Martyr Ismail Haniyeh, joined the martyrs of Badr, Hunain, Ahzab, and the many martyrs of the Husseini Movement in confronting oppression and in the direction of reforming the ummah of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h); and joined to all the martyrs of the history of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, including martyrs Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, Al-Rentisi, Al-Arouri, etc.; he also joined the martyrs of the Resistance Axis, such as Martyr Fathi al-Shaqaqi, Martyr Imad Mughniyeh, Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, and all martyrs of Islamic Resistance in Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, and Afghanistan.
As members, missionaries, and associates of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in all mosques, schools, institutions, and centers around the world, we express our condolences on this great tragedy, first of all, to the family members of this martyred commander, who is a family of jihad in the way of God, resistance, and sacrifice for the Islamic Resistance Movement in Palestine, and then, to the victorious Hamas Movement, and finally to the proud people of Palestine, especially the people of Gaza, who have broken the back of the occupiers with pride and determination, and to the Resistance groups, and the Islamic Ummah, and its wise leader, Imam Khamenei and all freedom seekers and defenders of truth and justice around the world.
Also, we ask God Almighty to forgive this martyred commander, sixty noble martyrs from the Haniyeh family, and tens of thousands of heroic martyrs of Gaza. May God gather them in the highest heaven, next to the prophets, divine saints, martyrs, and the righteous, and bless their families and friends, especially in the beloved Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements, with patience and reward in the way of courageous Resistance and jihad.
This is not the first crime and will not be the last, and the battle, God willing, will continue. The nation, the Resistance, and the Revolution are looking forward to divine revenge, more successes and victories to reach the goal, that is the complete victory and freedom of the holy land of Palestine from the Sea to the River, and the establishment of the Palestinian state with the capital of Quds and praying in the first Qibla of Muslims; a government that will pave the way for ending the Zionist-American colonial, occupation, and compromise project, and to restore the honor and glory of the nation, the establishment of Islamic civilization, and the noble government of the Awaited Imam Mahdi (a.s.), who, with his grace, will honor Islam and its people, and humiliate disbelief and its followers, and hypocrisy and its followers.
غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ. فِی اَدْنَی الْاَرْضِ وَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ غَلَبِهِمْ سَیَغْلِبُونَ. فِی بِضْعِ سِنِینَ لِلَّهِ الْاَمْرُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَمِنْ بَعْدُ وَیَوْمَئِذٍ یَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ. بِنَصْرِ اللَّهِ یَنْصُرُ مَنْ یَشَاءُ وَهُوَ الْعَزِیزُ الرَّحِیمُ. وَعْدَ اللَّهِ لَا یُخْلِفُ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ وَلَکِنَّ اَکْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَعْلَمُونَ
“The Roman Empire has been defeated-* In a land close by; but they, (even) after (this) defeat of theirs, will soon be victorious-* Within a few years. With Allah is the Decision, in the past and in the Future: on that Day shall the Believers rejoice-* With the help of Allah. He helps whom He will, and He is exalted in might, most merciful.* (It is) the promise of Allah. Never does Allah depart from His promise: but most men understand not.” (Holy Quran, Surah Ar-rum, Verses 2-6)
In the end, we mention the words of the Master of the martyrs and free people, the grandson of the Holy Prophet, (p.b.u.h) Imam Hussain (a.s.): “O Lord! We are patient with your Qada (Decree), there is no god but You. I have no lord or god but You, and I will be patient with your Qada (Decree). O the only helper for those who have no help, and O the ever remaining!”
انا لله و انا الیه راجعون
“Indeed, we belong to Allah and to Him do we indeed return” (Holy Quran 2: 156)
