May Allah bless Brother Abdulkader Al Saleh, the leader of Liwa al-Tawhid (Tawhid Bridgade) in Aleppo who was targeted by the Syrian pilots' airstrike a few days ago, in a meeting with the leaders of his brigade at the infantry school in Aleppo's countryside. He was targeted after he recorded for himself an honor, may Allah to accept it from him, when he renounced from the coalition and from Geneva and he rejected the West and its henchmen and refused the influence of the rulers of damage from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and others. We ask Allah the Almighty to elevate his status for this honor to the highest, He (Allah) is close, the Hearer of supplication... This calamity must drive the sincere to close ranks and take caution and to seek achieving their needs in secrecy, especially as the eyes of America and its followers in Russia and Europe monitor those who do not bend to Geneva ... He (swt) says, addressing the believers:

وَلْيَأْخُذُوا حِذْرَهُمْ وَأَسْلِحَتَهُمْ وَدَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ تَغْفُلُونَ عَنْ أَسْلِحَتِكُمْ وَأَمْتِعَتِكُمْ فَيَمِيلُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَيْلَةً وَاحِدَةً

"And let them pray with you, taking precaution and carrying their arms. Those who disbelieve wish that you would neglect your weapons and your baggage so they could come down upon you in one [single] attack." [Al Nisa: 102]

This revolution is strong and powerful, with the permission of Allah; for it derives its steadfastness and patience from its faith in Allah and its determination to seek victory from the Almighty alone; this is what the international nations fear in this revolution and becomes more conspiring against it. For this reason, this revolution was more powerful than Bashar and his mercenaries and stronger than all the conspired Western countries as a whole. We take this opportunity to urge our brothers in the Brigade and other battalion commanders to follow the example of those who recorded their endowments with their Lord in this world and the Hereafter, and that they should not seek victory except from Allah alone, as good adherence to Islam and to investigate the right is the key to relief, which the path of suffering and bring victory close ... The Almighty said:

وَلَا تَهِنُوا فِي ابْتِغَاءِ الْقَوْمِ إِنْ تَكُونُوا تَأْلَمُونَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْلَمُونَ كَمَا تَأْلَمُونَ وَتَرْجُونَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَرْجُونَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا * إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ لِتَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِمَا أَرَاكَ اللَّهُ وَلَا تَكُنْ لِلْخَائِنِينَ خَصِيمًا

"And do not weaken in pursuit of the enemy. If you should be suffering - so are they suffering as you are suffering, but you expect from Allah that which they expect not. And Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth so you may judge between the people by that which Allah has shown you. And do not be for the deceitful an advocate." [Al Nisa:104-105]

May Allah bestow His abundant mercy on brother leader Abdulkader Al Saleh and bring him the Supreme paradise with the Prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, and the martyrs and the righteous and we say naught except that which is pleasing to our Lord:

إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

"Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return." [Al Baqara:156]
