“Masamee Al-Kayeer Lil Inshad”
in coordination with “Al-Malahim Media” presents:
An exclusive interview
with
mujahid Munshid: Abu
Hajar Al-Hadrami
– may Allah preserve him –
English translation by
JHUF
The
Jihadi Nasheed is a weapon that inflects harm in the enemies of Allah if
listening to it was associated with action
The
Mujahid Munshid is more influential from others because he chants from
sufferings and he does what he says
The
prison period benefited me a lot in poetry and Inshad, and Abu Al-Zubair
Al-Madani is my best Munshid
It
became obvious recently that the official Jihadi media institutions focus on
including the Nasheeds of the mujahid Munshids without the other Munshids in
its publications dramatically that it is almost exclusive, and that appeared
clearly in the unique video [...]
And
in an attempt to know some of the aspects of the lives of the Mujahid Munshids
and the extent of that effect in their poetry and Inshad we had this interview
with our brother mujahid Munshid: Abu Hajar Al-Hadrami – may Allah preserve him
–.
Masamee Al-Kayeer Lil Inshad: Abu Hajar we thank you for this opportunity,
and ask you in the beginning to tell us your profile in detail?
Abu
Hajar Al-Hadrami: Alhamdulillah who said: (And as to the poets, those who go
astray follow them -224- Do you not see that they wander about bewildered in
every valley? -225- And that they say that which they do not do -226- Except
those who believe and do good and remember Allah much, and defend themselves
after they are oppressed -227-) Surah Ash-Shuara, and peace and blessings be
upon the prophet who said: “Practice Jihad against Heathens by money, hand and
tongue”, and who said to Hassan ibn Thabit – may Allah be pleased with him:
“Satirize them and the Holy Spirit is with you, for, I swear in Whose hand is
my soul it is will be more effective and damaging for them than the arrows”.
I
on my behalf thank you for this interview, and may Allah reward you and make
you benefit the Islam and Muslims, as for my profile:
My
name is: Ghalib Ahmed Ba’ghaiti and my nickname is Abu Hajar Al-Hadrami, born
in 1986 in the city of Mukalla Yemen Arabian
Peninsula . As for my marital Status I’m married Alhamdulillah. As
for my study level: I finished my high school then Allah Almighty guided me
after that to go for jihad in Iraq, but He Almighty predestined for His wisdom
that I fall in the captivity of the Nusayriyah in Syria in 2007 and they handed
me over after a period of detention that lasted for months to the agent Yemeni
government which kept me in prison for years then Allah saved me from their
chains in the famous escape from the Mukalla prison in Hadramout in May 2011.
A dream came true
M.K.I: How was your beginning with poetry and Inshad?
A.H.H:
My beginning with poetry at 14 years when I attended an evening of poetry for senior poets, and I felt sad that I
wasn’t a poet, and I wished that I be a poet who writes poetry to defend Islam,
Muslims, jihad and mujahidin, so I went after that to one of my Arabic teachers
in my school then and told him about my desire to become a poet and I don’t
know what should I do to achieve this dream, and he was happy and delighted for
that and guided me to some matters including to hear and read poetry, and he
encouraged me by saying: “Write poetry, and know that it is simple Insha’Allah
as long as you have the desire for that, and indeed I began to write weak and
funny poems until my level improved Alhamdulillah, that was my beginning with
poetry.
As for my beginning with Nashid, that was in a
celebration held by the brothers for the wedding of Mr. Salim one of the
teachers in the Quran memorizing seminars where I used to study in the Munqad
mosque in the same neighborhood where I used to live, and it was a celebration
that included Nasheeds, contests and a play, and the first Nashid that I chanted
was (Balig Ani Ya Abatah) and I was then around 13 years.
M.K.I: How do you see the role and effect of the Nasheed in general
and jihad in particular?
A.H.H:
The Nasheed is a message and weapon inflect harm in the enemies of Allah
Almighty, and it is one of the means used to defend Islam and its methodology
and Aqeeda. And poetry was the media outlet during the time of the prophet –
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family – which he used to
annoy the enemies of Allah, and - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and
his family – ordered Hassan ibn Thabit may Allah be pleased with him to
satirize the polytheists, and that satire was worst on the Kuffar of Quraish
from arrows.
And
about that the poet says:
(Arabic poetry)
If you chant for us poetry about pride to remember old times
We will remember the pioneers how they prevailed and were very
honorable
And if you say it to slaves they will return freemen
And if you mobilize the cowards by it they will engage into battles
like lions
And if you repeat it one thousand times, the listeners will swear
that you repeat it again
And
thus poetry had a significant impact in supporting Islam and Muslims, and
demonstrating their causes throughout history, as well as reminding the Ummah
of its old and lost glory and pride, and also builds momentum and sharpening
the determination everywhere, and consolation of the captives in prisons. That
is why I say that Nasheed is indispensable since it is an important and
effecting weapon in moving the Muslim peoples.
(Arabic poetry)
I made my best chants for Islam and my highest Nasheeds were about
bravery
I built from my pain my melody and intonation and submitted my neck
to the ruling of my Creator
Obligatory causes
M.K.I: So you see that Nasheed isn’t limited to the Jihadi aspect
but exceeds it to other?
A.H.H:
Yes Nasheed exceeds to other than that, but the important cause and the supreme and first goal
which is supporting the religion of Allah Almighty, and that is done by
reminding the Ummah of important causes which are obligatory on it especially
the obligation of returning to the ruling of Allah Almighty and implementation
of the Sharia, and establishment of the Islamic State, and supporting the
mujahidin the people of Tawhid in all the fields of jihad since these important
causes should be in the highest priorities.
(Arabic poetry)
We want a flaming poetry that arsons the fire
of revenge
We want a chanting poetry that raids the
gathering of the Kufr
We want flowing poetry that atomizes the hard
rock
After that comes the other types of Nasheeds like the Nasheeds of weddings
that relief your soul, and the Nasheeds of
lamenting, litanies and Tawashih, and the Nasheeds that call for contemplation
in the creatures of Allah Almighty, and Inshad is a wide field which fits for
everything that fits for poetry from purposes and conditions.
(Arabic poetry)
Righteous Al-Bara used to chant with a beautiful voice
And Ma’abid chanted in Yathrib the poetry and melodies
When eloquence was succulent in the feelings of the muwahid
And Bilal makes Azan in the best mosque
You love poetry as long as it doesn’t come from a voice of a reveler
M.K.I: Do you have an ideal from the Munshids? Or in other words who
are the Munshids whom you like in the field?
A.H.H:
I love many Munshids and benefit from them, but the best and most sincere – we
reckon them to be so and Allah is their reconker – and who have the most impact
on me are the Munshids of the fields of jihad, who chant inside the trenches
and live the conditions of the mujahidin and endure the hardships and are
pursued for the sake of Allah Almighty.
And
on top of those Munshids whom I love – I say this and I ask Allah Almighty to
raise the level of this Munshid in the Iliyin – is our brother Abu Al-Zubair
Al-Habashi of the (Convoy of martyrs 1) cassette, this brother did jihad in
Afghanistan and he used to chant for the mujahidin, and sheikh Osama bin Laden
– rahimahullah - used to love his Nasheeds as I have been told by those who
were close to the sheikh – may Allah accept him -, and after Afghanistan he
went to Bosnia and was martyred there as we reckon him to be, so he sealed his
Nasheeds and signed on them with his blood, that is why his Nasheeds have a big
impact on me and on many Muslim youth, even that an owner of a Nasheeds store
once told me that that cassette of Abu Al-Zubair Al-Madani is considered from
the best-selling cassettes to these days, despite that the cassette is almost
20 years old.
In
addition to Abu Al-Zubair Al-Madani there is my brother Munshid Abu Assem – may
Allah preserve him – whom I love his Nasheeds and is never bored from hearing
them, especially the Nasheeds of “Samiton Law Takalama” and “Helli Damee”.
And
I cannot forget here to mention brother martyr poet Fawaz Al-Maribi Hassan
Al-AQili – rahimahullah – who had a melodious voice and wonderful tender poems
that became very famous, and from the most beautiful of them was the one that
he said when seeing the siege on the Muslims in Gaza
(Arabic poetry)
O’ Arabs if you want glory and pride erupt against the rulers a
volcano
Don’t you see what is happening to Gaza, and proud Iraq and the land
of the Afghans
The pride of the religion O’ people of pride is shaky, my pride is
to Muthana and Ibn Affan
The Mujahidin Munshids
M.K.I: Who do you see the difference between the Mujahid Munshid and
the one who is not a Mujahid?
A.H.H:
The Mujahid Munshid chants from the womb of the suffering, and lives the cause
that he is talking about, when he chants about jihad he chants with a heart and
conscience that tasted the meaning of jihad with all that is in it from joy,
sadness, victory, defeat, scourge, severity and hardship, that is why his
Nasheed has more impact on the listeners from the other Munshids who didn’t
come to the fields of
jihad and weren’t engaged in battles, also the mujahid Munshid his Nasheeds
inflect more harm on the enemies of Allah and more terrifying to their hearts
from others with the grace and power of Allah, and that is a known and proven
matter.
And
there is another important matter regarding the mujahid Munshid is that he is
out from the dispraise and anger of Allah Almighty who say what they don’t do
as in the saying of the Almighty: (O you who believe! why do you say that which
you do not do? -2- It is most hateful to Allah that you should say that which
you do not do -3-) Surah As-Saff, also the mujahid Munshid in his life follows
the example of the Sahabah may Allah be pleased from them who were chanters for
the convoys of the mujahidin in the Ghazwas and they were also in the first
ranks like Salama ibn Al-Akwa’a, Anjasha and other Sahabah - may Allah be
pleased with them all -, like what have been reported about Abdullah ibn Rawaha
the honorable Sahabi - may Allah be pleased with him – when the fighting
intensified so he chanted to make himself steadfast and encourage it to courage
and sacrifice:
(Arabic poetry)
I swear O soul, you have to enter the battlefield either willingly
or reluctantly
What is this that I see you are averse to entering Paradise
M.K.I: What is the influence of the environment of jihad on the poet
and Munshid?
A.H.H:
The environment of jihad is a great environment, since the fields of jihad are
incubators for education and a school for poets and institutes for the Quran
readers and a sea for the Ulema and a field for the cadres and the fields of
jihad is a depository of the Ummah and its arsenal and
ammunition in general.
As
for your question about the impact of this environment on the poet and Munshid
it is a very great impact, since the environment of jihad widens their
perceptions when they see the injured and martyrs with their own eyes so the
poet writes and the Munshid chants from the reality of jihad, since both of
them live the reality of the Muslims that is full of wounds and tragedies.
(Arabic poetry)
If it wasn’t for the tragedies and the wounds the poet wouldn’t have
given us his poetry
And we wouldn’t have benefited in our safety a lesson and moral from
the events
Is the one who is raised in bliss like the one who spends his life
on embers
They aren’t equal, a shrewd experienced man who the events of his
time refined his thought
And a young man who spends his life
screwed up and goes and comes just for a gaze
Nasheed and the rules of the Sharia
M.K.I: What is your advice for the new Munshids and poets?
A.H.H:
Firstly: I advice myself and them to be sincere in their works, and seek Allah
Almighty in their works.
Secondly:
To focus on the issues that concern their Ummah, so they carry the causes of
these Ummah that lives through a difficult stage which the enemies gathered on
it from all
directions.
(Arabic poetry)
They are scattered except on us so we became like a pray for the
dogs
So
the brother Munshid has to be concerned with the causes of his Ummah and before
any cause, he should remind the Muslims of the obligation of implementing the
Sharia of Allah Almighty and notifying them that this ruling is absent for
hundreds of years from the earth, and also remind them of the issue of the
prisoners, and especially our sisters in the prisons of the Americans and the
Tawagit, and also remind them of their previous glories and conquests conducted
by their fathers and ancestors.
Thirdly:
I advice them to restrain to the rules of the Sharia in their Nasheeds, so they
shouldn’t be dragged to the stream of Jahilia and immorality that unfortunately
dragged many Munshids before you and others who added excessive sound effects
and music, drums and tabors in their Nasheeds, until the Nasheeds turned to
songs that have nothing to do with Nasheeds.
M.K.I: What are the most beloved Nasheeds to your heart? Why?
A.H.H:
The most beloved Nasheeds to my hearts is the “Baghdad La Tahzani” Nasheed, I
love that Nasheed and hear it every now and then, and the reason for that is
that reminds me of a group of martyred heroic brothers who were perished for
the sake of Allah – we expect them to be so and we do not recommend anyone
before Allah – some of them were killed in Iraq, and rest ascended martyrs
Allah willing in the Arabian Peninsula, I ask Allah Almighty to unite us with
them.
Al-Uqab banner
M.K.I: What is your new works Abu Hajar?
A.H.H:
There are many new works and Alhamdulillah it includes “Al-Raya” Nasheed that
speaks about the black Al-Uqab banner of Al-Qaeda Organization that spread
everywhere, and I was very much pleased when I saw this banner flapping I don’t
say in many Muslim countries but rather also it was raised on the American
embassies – after it was stormed by the Muslim masses to avenge the honor of
the messenger of Allah - peace and blessings be upon him, and it is in the
Nasheed publication “Rabee Al-Shuhada”.
M.K.I: Did the prison years have an effect on your talent as a poet
and Munshid? And how was that?
A.H.H:
Alhamdulillah the prison period that I spend behind the bars of the Tawagit
taught me a lot and I benefited a lot from it, and the ordeal of the prison,
anguish of the imprisonment, and the harm of the jailers certainly will set off
the latent potentials, that made the most excelled poetry and the most gloomy
is the ones about prison, and describing its conditions and cruelty, and
remember a piece from the best that have been said by Ali ibn Al-Jahm when his
imprisonment became severe so he said filled with pride, sublimity and transcending the pain and scourge for the sake of what he
demands and wants, he said:
(Arabic poetry)
She you are jailed, I said: “My prison isn’t a disgrace, and is
there any sword that is kept in its sheath”
And prison is don’t enter it for a nefarious fault then it is a
blessed place
A house the renews the dignity of the honorable where he is visited
while he doesn’t visit anyone
To the end of the poem that came out bright despite of the darkness
of prison, and resounding despite of the chains of the jailer.
In
the prison with the grace of Allah I became more aware of these governments,
and I know the extent of their meanness, sordidness and treachery and what they
are in from Kufr and apostasy from the righteous religion, and being imprisoned
by the Nusayriyah in Syria was an example and model that informed me about the
brutality of these people and that they (do not pay regard in your case to ties
of relationship, nor those of covenant) and they have left the religion of
Allah from the widest door and apostatized from Islam by all reasons, and in
the same manner of those Nusayriyah all the agent Arab governments.
Also
in prison I read a lot of Diwans and poems, and I met many brothers from all
the fronts who participated in the jihad of Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon
and Bosnia, and the other fronts, so I used to take from them the sweetest
Nasheeds which the mujahidin used to chant in their trenches, guest houses and
spare time, and I used to take them like they were jewels and pearls, because
they were Nasheeds hat came out from the lips of martyrs and heroes and masters
of the Dunya who make jihad for the sake of Allah. So I came out from prison
with a great treasure of poems and Nasheeds and I still have it in my memory
until now with the grace of Allah Almighty, and they are so many that they can
fill several albums, and until now I only chanted very few of them but I try
every now and then to produce some of it.
The role model prophet
M.K.I: What is the reason of your approach in some of your Nasheeds
to attack Arab rulers such as Ali Saleh, (Mohammed) Ibn Naif, Abd Rabbuh Mansur
and others?
A.H.H:
Those are the real enemies since if it wasn’t for their treachery the enemies
of Islam wouldn’t have been able to invade our countries and desecrate our
honors and filling their prisons with our best and purest men, and if it wasn’t
for those procumbent rulers who hasten to obey the Kuffar and support them they
wouldn’t have been able to seize one inch from the lands of the Muslims.
And
as Al-Mutanabbi said:
(Arabic poetry)
In addition to the Romans there are other Romans behind your back so
on which side will you tend
So
we shouldn’t only target the crusaders and Jews, as commander Khattad Amir of
the Arab mujahidin in Chechnya said: “We won’t be able to liberate Palestine
until we do jihad against the Arab Jews”, and he was right rahimahullah since
those are from our own people and talk the same language and their evil and
curse on us is greater, so I return and say if it wasn’t for Tawagit rulers and
their soldiers and military the Americans wouldn’t have been able to advance in
their war against Islam and Muslims. That is why I targeted in my Nasheeds
those rulers, Amirs and Tawagit because they are the striking hand of the
crusaders in their war against Islam and Muslims.
Alhamdulillah
targeting this section in my Nasheeds had a big impact on them and they were
harmed from it, even that I have been informed that the minister of interior of
Al Saud Mohammed ibn Naif – may Allah show him what he deserves – have resented
from the Nasheeds of the mujahidin in the Arabian Peninsula, because it
scratched his alleged and exposed his reality which he tries to cover, but can never be since we have a piercing
vision to uncover what they conceal, and tongues speak to satirize them, and hands to fight
them, and Allah is our Lord while they have no Lord.
M.K.I: Is there a word that you send to those who love to listen to
Jihadi Nasheeds?
A.H.H:
Brothers who love to listen to the Nasheed and chanting of the mujahidin and
other which are controlled by the rules of the Sharia, I advise myself and them
to implement it on the ground, and not just listen to it to enjoy and regale its
words and melodies and be satisfied only to chant it, but they have to
associate that listening to implementation in reality.
So
if you listen – for example - to a Nasheed that encourages you brother to be
kind to your parents and obey them, so you have to implement that in real life.
Also if you listen to a Nasheed that encourages you to jihad and supporting of
the mujahidin and remind you of your sisters in the chains of prison and the
darkness of the cells calling in a pale yelling for help but no one to answer.
(Arabic poetry)
A Muslim Women of Arab lineage, she was never angry for being an
Arab and never a hand asking for help
You
have to move and rise up to jihad for the sake of Allah and the oppressed,
since what will be the benefit of the words, speeches and Nasheeds if it is
listened and then the listener goes to his soft bed to regale sleep with a
carefree mind and lives a prosperous life. But rather he should go the fields
of jihad to defend the honor and protect the religion and sanctities.
By
the way I remind the brothers who listen to Jihadi Nasheeds of the role model
prophet – peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family- who
conquered Mecca after the tribe of Bani Bakr the allies of Quraish raided
Khuza'a the allies of the messenger - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him
and his family -, so Amr ibn Salim – may Allah be pleased with him - wrote a
poem to the messenger - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family
– complaining from the oppression of Bani Bakr, and went to Medina to inform
the messenger of Allah - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his
family – what has happened, and he said a poem when he came to the messenger of
Allah - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family –, he said:
(Arabic poetry)
Lord! I am appealing to Muhammad
by the time-honored pact of both our fathers.
You were a father and we a son;
then we entered Islam and remained loyal.
Help us, and may Allah help you always!
Summon His servants, they shall come in arms,
Among them, the Prophet, mobilized--
if he is wronged, his face glowers.
In his legion he marches, a sea, foaming.
Quraysh broke its treaty with you!
They violated the truce they pledged you,
made me as good as dead and buried!
They claimed I could not call on anyone
although they are meaner and less by far!
They snared us at Watîr during our vigils
and slew us as we bowed and prostrated.
So
the messenger of Allah - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his
family – said: “'You will be helped, Amr ibn Salim”, and quickly - peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him and his family – prepared the army and went to
Mecca with more than ten thousand fighter, and seized it after he was effected
by the poem of Amr ibn Salim – may Allah be pleased with him -.
And
the Arabs before Islam used to aid who seeks help and support the needy and
help then oppressed even that one of them said:
(Arabic poetry)
They don’t ask their brother when he calls them for help in
calamities for a proof for his words
So
how it is when the frontlines of Islam cried, where are the knights of
determination, where are the swords of the turbaned men, where are the ones who
supports and aids, where are the ones who charge with the truth against the
people of falsehood to repel their aggression, and drive away their evil and
harm… where are the ones who defend the homeland and retrieves the plundered
land?
And
I cannot forget that story that is mentioned in history about Saladin –
rahimahullah – when this poem reached him that tell the situation of the
Al-Aqsa Mosque when it was shackled in the hands of the crusaders and it
included:
(Arabic poetry)
A grievance has come to you complaining from Bayt Al-Maqdis
All the mosques have been liberated and I despite of my honor is
being desecrated
To
the end of that poem, so Saladin rahimahullah rose up until he retrieved
Al-Quds to the domain of Islam and expelled the Franks in the famous battle of
Hattin.
M.K.I: In conclusion are there messages that you want send?
A.H.H:
To my Muslim brothers everywhere: I advise myself and them to support the
Sharia and be concerned with the issues of the Muslims and not be deceived by
the claims of peaceful coexistence, and democracy which is the idol of this
time which worshiped instead of Allah in this era Wa Aleyaz Billah, and I more
particularly call by people and brothers in the countries of the revolutions to
exploit the opportunity offered in making Dawah to Tawhid and strive in
establishing an Islamic rule in which they live in its shadow safe and secure,
and I cannot forget to remind the Muslims everywhere to stand next to their brothers the mujahidin and repel
with them the campaigns of the Americans and their agents, and be loyal to the
believers and be hostile to the Kuffar the enemies of Allah as was done by the
first generation of this Ummah from the Sahabah of the prophet peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him and his family and may Allah be pleased with
them all.
My
final message to all the enemies of Allah, I say:
(Arabic poetry)
Death is the melody of the Muslim O’ Jews and the swords and spears
are the Nasheeds
We sacrifice for our honor the souls since it is a disgrace if it is
touched by the monkeys
We never forget your treachery if you have forgotten it, were you
taught how to forget covenants
Death was distributed from Ali and Zubair and the Muslims are
witness to that
And
our final Duas is that O’ Allah make our work sincere for His sake, and accept
from us our jihad and end our life with martyrdom that makes us join the
caravan of the righteous martyrs… you are capable of that… Wa Alhamdu lillahi
rabbi Aalameen.
