In the Name of Allāh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
“The leader of the martyrs, Hamzah Bin Abdil-Muttalib, a man who stood up to an unjust leader, so he commanded him [with good] and forbade him [from evil], and he killed him.”
O defiant Muslims of Egypt. I feel the approach of the appointed time, and the proximity of the meeting with Allāh, and I must leave behind a will.
So here it is for you, O most beloved of the people to my heart…
Here it is for you, O my family, relatives, and kindred…
Here it is for you, from the depths of my heart, purely and sincerely for the Face of my Lord…
Here it is for you, mixed with my tears; it wishes that my blood would engrave it…
Say no to oppression.
Say it, O scholars of Egypt – No.
No… to the absence of our Sharī’ah for 70 years.
No… to all who allege that the Sharī’ah is enforced in Egypt!
Where is the Sharī’ah in the secular constitutions?! Where is the Sharī’ah in the usury-filled economics?! Where is the Sharī’ah in the disengaged media?! Where is the Sharī’ah in peace and in war and in education and in the administration of justice?!
If you find that the Sharī’ah has no share or allotment in all of these, then you are not our rulers, and upon us there is no listening or obedience to you.
