Final Will of the Man Who Defeated ISIS: Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis

The World Needs Real Heroes — Yet the Real Heroes are Censored from Public Knowledge by Very Real Monsters

It is a considerable crime that the “israeli” Mossad and American CIA intentionally funded, armed, and granted logistical support to ISIS terrorists in order to destroy several sovereign nations which would ultimately weaken the Islamic resistance axis (who fight on behalf of the free people of the world). This crime, in some ways, has resulted in the punishment of the criminals by the defeat of ISIS by the Islamic resistance axis, along with help from Russia. In other ways, justice has yet to be served as the regimes of the US, UK, France, the Zionist regime, and many Gulf Arab monarchies which serve the aforementioned states, still walk free and despite their rapidly declining power, still think they have the right to dictate the terms of how this world — created in sublime balance and wisdom by a divine Creator — should be run.

A secondary crime and great tragedy of this war is the psychological, cultural, and media warfare run by these same criminals. One of its many agendas is to prevent the free people of the world from understanding what a real hero is and who are examples of real heroes.

Real heroes include those who sacrificed their wealth, time, safety, and, at the end, their lives in order to make sure that hundreds of millions or perhaps even a billion people around the world directly threatened by the foreign-backed ISIS terrorist group are free from the horrors that would have expanded beyond the territories of Iraq and Syria. Knowing such heroes might cause people to start to emulate such people and simultaneously reject their own so-called rulers who not only created and armed ISIS, but do not have the moral qualities and virtues that the heroes who defeated ISIS have.

Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis — One of the Main Architects of the Defeat of ISIS, the Terrorist Tool of the Zionist-American Plans for West Asia

Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis was one of the top commanders in the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), known in Arabic as Hashd al-Shaabi. Along with Major General Qassem Soleimani of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, the two essentially masterminded the defeat of ISIS across both Iraq and Syria.

This made them enemy #1 in the eyes of the Zionist regime and the US empire, who spent untold sums of money on their pet project known as ISIS/Daesh. Therefore, the US regime — with collaboration of the Zionist regime — assassinated both Al-Muhandis and Soleimani while they were on a diplomatic mission in Iraq on 3 January 2020. Just take a look at the world around you since then, and it is clear that blood has conquered the sword once more and the decline of the west that would have taken a more slow pace has suddenly entered into rapid speeds. This is the power of the One God that these two martyrs served.

It is not important that some factions of the Zionist-American political spectrum may superficially oppose the assassination because they are afraid it would cause the end of their illegitimate empires, their hollow platitudes have hidden motivations and they would have rather sought to eliminate these two saints by covert means so as to avoid their blood being openly and arrogantly claimed by the US and instead created a climate of confusion as to who was responsible for shedding the blood of these true heroes.

We must stand against the heinous crime of their assassination out of principle and respect, not expediency out of fear that Trump created a PR nightmare by targeting Soleimani and al-Muhandis openly instead of through covert proxies. These are real heroes, yet on some social media platforms, they use algorithms and facial recognition to delete your account if you post a picture of any of these much-needed role models.

Those who are aware of their special status are not small in number. These two commanders, one from Iraq and the other from Iran, are known as the “commanders of the hearts” for a reason. They cannot be erased from the hearts and minds of the people. The massive funeral that was held in their honor in both Iraq and Iran was proof of their weight both in the eyes of Allah and in the eyes of the people.

It is our humble contribution to share a light in the sea of darkness, by sharing with the audience a more personal aspect of the martyr’s life (rather than just their military career), we are honored to publish a translation of the Final Will and Testament of Martyr Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis in honor of the anniversary of the defeat of ISIS, which was announced on 10 July 2017.

We hope that Allah will open up doors for you to gain many different insights and lessons from such elevated personalities and what motivated them to reach nearness to God and ascend to a noble status that the human heart will instantly recognize, love, respect, and try to emulate in their own lives.

The Final Will and Testament of Martyr Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis (ra)

In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful.

May Allah’s blessings be upon [Prophet] Muhammad & his good and pure family.

Peace be upon you, O Messenger of God, upon your Mother & Father, and your wives, and the pure righteous Sayyeda Khadijah the Great.

Peace be upon you, your progeny & your righteous daughter, Sayyeda Fatima al-Zahraa.

Peace be upon you & your successor and cousin, Imam Ali, the Commander of the Faithful.

Peace be upon your progeny, Imam al-Hassan & Imam al-Hussein, the masters of the youth of Paradise.

Peace be upon you, O Abu Abdullah (al-Hussain), and upon your infallible sons: Ali bin Al-Hussain al-Sajjad, Muhammad bin Ali al-Baqir, Jaafar bin Muhammad al-Sadiq, Musa bin Jaafar al-Kadhim, Ali bin Musa al-Ridha, Muhammad bin Ali al-Jawad, Ali bin Muhammad al-Hadi, and Muhammad bin al-Hassan Al-Mahdi (May Allah Almighty hasten his Honorable Reappearance). They are my Imams, my masters, and my leaders, with whom I take refuge, and from their enemies, I disavow.

I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, He alone has no partner.

And I bear witness that [Prophet] Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and that the Imams from the progeny of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon them) are my Imams, my masters, and my leaders.

I bear witness that Death, the Day of Judgment, the Paradise and Hell are truly ordained.

I ask all the brothers and sisters, who read my will, and to my family, to discharge me after my departure.

Regarding my honorable family, I ask Allah Almighty to grant them success, guidance and steadfastness; I ask Him for an honorable destiny for my wife & daughters.

I also ask Allah (SWT) for my brothers and sons steadfastness [on Islam] and the perpetuation of the [state of] jihad; those who have registered the most wonderful epics of jihad throughout this lifetime that we spent together, from the beginning of my jihad until today.

I ask Allah (SWT) to reunite me with them, both those who got martyred during and after the university period, my brothers & companions, the Mujahedeen of the “Da’awah movement” at that time, who were hundreds.

I ask Allah to reunite me with my teachers, especially the honorable martyr, Sayyed Muhammad Baqer al-Sadr (ra), and those who accompanied me in the jihad after that, in Kuwait, Iran, and Iraq like the “Badr” youths, who preceded us in faith and preceded us in martyrdom, as well as the youths of the resistance, who combated the US occupation after the fall of the oppressive Baathist regime, and the youths of the Hashd in all its factions & formations.

May Allah grant them steadfastness, guidance, and understanding in religion.

I stress on perpetuating jihad on the condition that it is accompanied with comprehending the religion, knowing the provisions of Allah Almighty, the provisions of jihad, the provisions of dealing with [war] prisoners, and the provisions of dealing with people’s money and sanctities.

Our goal is to please Allah (SWT).

The ultimate goal is to please Allah (SWT) by serving people, regardless of whether they are Sunnis, Shias, Christians, Yazidis, and regardless of their nationalities & sects, because our goal is to please Allah.

We did not come [to the fields of war] amateurishly, but rather to reform, to eliminate terrorism, for Iraq to survive – God willing – in safety and peace.

God willing, the aim of shedding our blood, and the blood of the martyrs and youth of this sincere nation, is to please Allah (SWT), guarantee people’s rights, spread security and peace throughout Iraq, lift injustice from every oppressed, and achieve stability in the region in general.

I recommend steadfastness, the perpetuation of the spirit of jihad, and obedience to the guardian of the nation, the Supreme Leader, Sayyed Khamenei (may Allah Almighty protect him and perpetuate his honorable presence).

I advise you to pay attention to the Shiites of the region, the Shiites of the world, and to support the oppressed, whatever their religion is.

I ask Allah (SWT) to grant you success, steadfastness, and forgiveness.

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

May Allah bless [Prophet] Muhammad, and his good & pure family.

— Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis —
