Of Al Faqir Ilalloh: Ustadz. Abu Bakar Bashir
The servant of Allah
To Thein Sein of Myanmar President
السلا م على من تبع الهد ى
May the salvation be given to people who follow these instructions (Islam)
We invite you to happiness in this world and hereafter, to save yourself from your materialistic life which has no soul at all.
We invite you to Islam that calls to follow the right manhaj (teaching) and to adore Allah alone and He has no partner except for Allah ta'ala alone who called for the Divine justice and forbid evil and unjust policies.
Your residents, mainly Buddhist act as barbaric people towards Muslims; they burn homes, they forbid to worship Allah ta'ala and they slaughter Muslims like animals.
Know! Our fellow Muslims are our brothers, their suffering is our suffering, their tears are our tears and their blood is the blood that you shed for us.
Know! The Buddhist community in our country (Indonesia) can live in harmony and peace with our Muslim-majority. They never pay us dzalimi, even they are free to practice his faith, we do not disturb them.
Islam teach us to be fair and well towards the infidels (non Muslims) who do not fight us, as confirmed by Allah (God) in His Word:
لا ينهاكم الله عن الذين لم يقاتلوكم في الدين ولم يخرجوكم من دياركم أن تبروهم وتقسطوا إليهم إن الله يحب المقسطين
"Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly. "(Surat Al-Mumtahanah: 8)
Know! We are not willing to treat you and your people as they are treating our Muslim brothers and sisters who have been wronged, then we call on you and your people:
1. Stop the injustice, do not expel and do not commit massacre of Muslims in Myanmar.
2. Give them the freedom to embrace Islam and to worship Allah alone.
3. No more discrimination against Muslims.
If you do not hear this call, By Allah! The arrogance will be destroyed by the hands of the mujahideen (with the permission of Allah).
With the permission of Allah we are are able to treat you and your people like a Russian communist socialist state that has been shattered by the hands of the Moedjahidien or like the American empire which will soon perish (Insha Allah).
We do not want to hear the cries of our Muslim brothers in the earth anylonger which was created by Allah, your country is the one of Muslims who live here, we do not want to see any drop of blood spilled from the Muslims. Our Lord has taught us that we are Muslims worldwide and that we fight fisibillah against the tyranny:
وقاتلوا المشركين كافة كما يقاتلونكم كافة واعلموا أن الله مع المتقين
"... Fight the idolaters and all of them as they also fight you all ..." (Surat At-Tawbah: 36)
So for us to fight you in our fight against the idolaters is a noble charity, our glorious win. Almighty Allah confirms this in His Word:
قل هل تربصون بنا إلا إحدى الحسنيين ونحن نتربص بكم أن يصيبكم الله بعذاب من عنده أو بأيدينا فتربصوا إنا معكم متربصون
Say, "Do you await for us except one of the two best things while we await for you that Allah will afflict you with punishment from Himself or at our hands? So wait; indeed we, along with you, are waiting."(Surah At-Tawbah: 52)
Thus this letter. Yaa Allah bear witness that we have to deliver it.
