"My wedding on earth is the day of my martyrdom."
Yesterday's martyrdom operation in "Tel Aviv" came on the eve of the anniversary of the martyrdom operation of Raed Misk, who, on this day in 2003, killed 23 zionists and wounded 135 others in a bus in occupied Al-Quds.
Raed's operation shook the zionist entity, coming as part of vengeance for the martyred leader Abdulallah Qawasmeh. At 9:00 PM on that Tuesday, he set forth to the western part of Al-Quds for the first time in his life, boarded an "israeli" bus disguised as a settler, and executed his decision.
Born in Al-Khalil, he was raised in the city's mosques, having memorized the Quran at 15 years old. At that age, he was abducted by the occupation and imprisoned, during which his mother passed away. He married, had three children, and worked as a teacher. One day, while he was still a student, a teacher he admired asked him about his aspirations. Raed humbly replied, "To become like you, teacher." Years later, he told Raed, "God has granted you your wish and more."
Despite his role in the Al-Qassam Brigades, his family didn't know anything at all of his resistance activity. His conversations were focused on family and Quran (often quoting it in coversation), not politics, according to his wife Umm Mu'min. Deeply committed to his family, he was also known for relieving the hardships of others, often staying up until a person's need was fulfilled. According to his family, "his hand was always on his forehead due to the number of people he greeted" while walking down the street.
The first person to tell Umm Mu'min of her husband's martyrdom was her son, Mu'min. Ater returning from her brother-in-law's house, Mu'min said he had seen his father's picture on television, holding a rifle in his left hand and the Quran in his right, emulating the saying "This is how Ayyash taught us; to hold a rifle with a Quran." Mu'min said, "Mom, Dad went to Nablus, and from there, he ascended to Heaven."
Umm Mu'min described their last moments together, explaining that Raed had insisted on taking her and the children to his sister's house for a meal. He insisted that they stay the night; Raed's sister noticed that he spent the entire night praying, reading the Quran, and checking the windows and doors. It seemed as though he didn't sleep for a moment.
He told his sister he was going to Nablus to work on his master's thesis.
"I might not see you again; I might be arrested or martyred." The day before his martyrdom, he distributed Quranic tapes to his family and friends, which he encourages them to listen to in his will.
At the decisive moment at 9:00 PM, Raed disguised himself as a settler, boarding Bus #12 that had just come back from the Western Wall. A 5 kilogram bomb was detonated, killing over 20 zionists and wounding about 150. Raed ascended as a martyr.
All who knew Raed rejoiced, but were affected by the loss of a great man, consoling themselves with the believe that Raed was under Allah's provision.
Afterwards, the zionist security apparatus was stunned by their failure to identify Raed, or even respond to the operation. Dozens asssociated with Raed were abducted, his home was demolished, and three mosques in which Raed taught were shut down. The zionists didn't realize that resistance does not stop at the martyrdom of an individual.
Today, the return of operations like Raed's marks a new phase in the struggle, shaking zionist foundations once more.
Below, excerpts from Raed's will are published.
Glory to the martyrs.

Excerpts from will of the martyr Raed Misk, who killed 23 zionists and wounded nearly 150 in a martyrdom operation on this day in 2003 (1/3):
—

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all worlds, who has granted the mujahideen the reward and empowerment, and has placed the martyrs in the ranks of Paradise and the highest levels. Peace and blessings be upon our martyr, our leader, our beloved, the solace of the mujahideen, the leader of the noble ones, and upon his family, companions, and followers, and upon the martyrs, the righteous, and those who follow their path until the Day of Judgment.
As for what follows:
I am the humble servant of Allah, in dire need of His forgiveness and pleasure, the living martyr, Raed Abdul Hamid Abdul Razzaq Misk "Abu Mu'min"
I write this will in the hope that it is solely for the sake of Allah and that it will be a testimony for the sake of Allah in which my blood will be spilled, my limbs scattered, and it will serve as proof for us on the Day of Meeting, on the Day when neither wealth nor sons will benefit, except for those who come to Allah with a pure heart.
I write this will in haste and will not prolong it. I have heard the words of Allah urging and calling me: "Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their vow, and some are still waiting, and they have not changed in the least." And His saying: "Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed. [It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Quran. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah? So rejoice in your transaction which you have contracted. And it is that which is the great attainment."
The sayings about martyrdom have greatly encouraged me, such as the hadith: "The martyr has six privileges with Allah..." and the hadith that the martyr will come on the Day of Judgment with the color of blood and the fragrance of musk... and the explanation of the status martyrs with Allah.
Therefore, after hearing all of this, I decided to offer my soul, myself, my wealth, my home, and all that I own for the sake of Allah, hoping that Allah will accept me among the martyrs and honor me with the honor of the the pious. It is enough pride for me that the people of the Quran are the people of Allah and His chosen ones, so how will it be when I approach Allah as a martyr, bringing joy to the hearts of the believers and healing their hearts? "Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the hearts of a believing people." I ask Allah with this martyrdom to heal the hearts of a believing people.
And as I present this will in the form of messages, I ask Allah for acceptance.
To my beloved wife, Umm Mu'min,
O my precious, patient, and enduring wife... I swear, I do not know what to say or with what words to speak. I lived the most beautiful days of my life with you. I know that you will struggle and endure hardship after me, raising the children, enduring fatigue, the toil, the loss of a husband. the destruction of the house... and now I leave you to another life... and I will be waiting for you there. My excuse is that I left behind a woman - you—who is worth more than a hundred thousand men. You are indeed a gentle and loving wife... you were the lady of all women in this world, and Allah willing, you will be the lady of the maidens in paradise. Keep repeating "My Lord, build for me near You a house in paradise." Once again, I don't know what to say, but forgive me and pray for me often... tomorrow we will meet the beloved Prophet Muhammad and his companions. Our meeting will be in paradise, Allah willing.

My beloved children, the apples of my eyes, Mu’min, Sama, and the one still in your mother’s womb... who will, God willing, be born in four months... I have written many letters and given many speeches, but I don't know how to convey my emotions to you. What should I say? I have left you and chosen a path I loved and cherished... I did not leave you alone... the entire nation is with you - even if I am not martyred, I will eventually die (When their time comes, they will not delay it by a single hour, nor can they advance it). The noble Prophet, peace be upon him - may my father, mother, soul, and mind be sacrificed for him - was raised as an orphan, yet he said "My Lord has taught me and taught me well." I have entrusted your upbringing to one better than me... I have left your care to the Lord of all worlds, and He is the best of protectors and helpers. You will grow up, my children, and live without a father, but Allah will be with you... there are millions who live as orphans, and few of them are the children of martyrs.
...
To my family and loved ones... my brothers and sisters, my cousins... in Palestine, Jordan, and elsewhere, I ask for your forgiveness... I have fallen short in my duties towards you... and I have caused you much trouble... recently, I tried to spend more time with you, but matters of da’wah and jihad prevented that... I was keen on bringing the family together, and these gatherings for me were a call to Allah and an examination of the minds of the youth. I urge you to unite after me and be of one heart and do not differ.
...
My dear ones, lovers of martyrdom, young men of the mosques in Palestine, Jordan, and everywhere in the world... talking with you is always emotional - and it is delightful... with what advice shall I leave you... You teach me... and I lived among you, near you, and I felt my life change when I was away from you... but I went before you, and I am with the martyrs waiting for you. So do not say that you lost someone who was with you yesterday. If it is in Paradise that you lose me, then losing me is indeed good.
...
To the preachers of Islam... to the students of knowledge... to the memorizers of the Qur'an...
O devout preachers... O knowledgeable scholars... O stars of the world, its beacons, and its adornment, through you, nations are revived. Do not disappoint the hopes of the Ummah in you. Do not fear the blame of the blamers for the sake of Allah. Put your souls in your hands... be humble to the youth and offer them advice... live with their hopes and pains... On this occasion, I also advise everyone regarding our dear brothers, the pursued ones. How painful it is to hear that they went to the homes of preachers, scholars, or students of knowledge and were turned away, with doors closed to them. In this context, I clarify a single Shariah ruling mentioned by Ibn Al-Qayyim in I'lam Al-Muwaqqi'in: "Providing shelter to someone who has no refuge or residence is a personal obligation." And I say that providing shelter to the pursued ones is a personal obligation on everyone whose door they knock on. I have lived the pains of the pursued, and they have told me astonishing stories about how some people refuse to receive them... Read the books of the fighters and the letters of the pursued (with emphasis on the letters of the pursued and not the oppressed). By Allah, I wished that Allah would extend my life so that I could shelter them in my home, but fate destined martyrdom for me before I could attain this great honor. I pray that Allah forgives me for this shortcoming. Ameen.

A message to the dear brothers and beloved lions behind bars... you are in our hearts... you are in our essence and being... you cannot be bargained over, nor will we accept any solution that excludes even one of you. We have tried to offer you all we can and continue to do so, but we ask Allah to provide you with relief and a way out. To every brother, I say:
Patience, my brother, do not despair, for imprisonment is of no significance,
And captivity for the sake of Allah, in our law, is an honor,
Imprisonment is both a paradise and a hell, and I am the adventurer and the brave.
Our loved ones... our brothers, we have not forgotten you, nor will we ever forget you, despite the cells and severe torture, despite what they do, you are greater than them. Allah is with you and will not abandon you or your deeds.
To the fighters everywhere, in Palestine, Chechnya, Jordan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kashmir, India, and everywhere... this is the time and era of testing... so do not hesitate and do not weaken, and people will be divided into two camps, a camp of faith with no hypocrisy, and a camp of hypocrisy with no faith.
We ask Allah to unite the fighters, to bring them together, and to unify their ranks. I had a wish to be the leader of the convoy that would conquer Rome with the fighters, not out of a desire for leadership but because of the request as Al-Farooq (Umar ibn Al-Khattab) made when he heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say: "I will give the banner to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him." This wish stemmed from my belief that the victory of Islam is coming and near "And they ask you [O Muhammad], 'When will it be?' Say, 'Perhaps it will be soon.'" I ask Allah to protect you, guide your steps, take care of you, and protect you from the eyes of those who lie in wait for you. Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.
Your brother in need of Allah,
The living martyr, by Allah's will,
Raed Abdul Hamid Misk "Abu Mu’min"

🚨 Al-Arabi TV has obtained details of the latest American proposal presented to the Palestinian resistance regarding the zionist aggression in #Gaza:
—
A permanent ceasefire is not stipulated in the proposal, but is to be negotiated during the second phase of the agreement.
The entry of aid into the #Gaza Strip is conditional upon the adherence of all parties to the agreement.
The agreement does not stipulate a full withdrawal of occupation forces from the “Netzarim” axis, and zionist forces will have full discretion to limit the return of Palestinians to the northern Strip. IOF presence in the Philadelphia corridor is also a point of negotiation for Phase 2.
The zionist government will deport up to 150 of the Palestinians released in the prisoner exchange, to lands outside of occupied Palestine.
If Phase 1 of the agreement is implemented successfully, the zionist army would fully withdraw from the Gaza Strip during the second phase.
It is worth noting that the restrictions on Palestinians returning to the northern Strip, the absence of a permanent ceasefire and IOF withdrawal, and the ability to deport Palestinian prisoners are all demands made by Netanyahu following the resistance’s acceptance of the July 2 proposal.
