Commemorating the nineteenth anniversary of the historical gathering

and selection of Ameer-ul-Momineen on 16th Aries 1375 AH (solar) i.e.

4th April 1996 in Kandahar
The biography of the leader of Islamic Emirate Ameer-ul-Momineen,
Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid (May Allah safeguard him).

16 of Aries 1375 AH (solar) i.e. 4 April 1996 AD is a momentous day in the
history of our Muslim people. Nearly two decades ago on this same faithful
day, one thousand and five hundred scholars, dignitaries and Jihadi leaders of
Afghanistan approved Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid as the leader of the
Islamic Emirate, gave an oath of allegiance to him and conferred the title of
Amir-ul-Momineen on him i.e. leader of the pious believers.
In the official almanac of the Islamic Emirate, this day has its own significance
due to that historical event which subsequently is being commemorated by the
Cultural Commission of the Islamic Emirate by publishing special articles and
essays on this auspicious occasion.
As the publication of an inclusive biography of the leader of the Islamic Emirate
was the urgent demand of our numerous colleagues especially the writers and
researchers, the Cultural Commission of the Islamic Emirate decided to
commemorate that historical occasion by publishing a comprehensive
biography of His Excellency, the Amir-ul-Momineen, Mullah Mohammad Umar
Mujahid (may Allah safeguard him).
For the prevention of false propaganda by a number of spurious writers,
analysts and some biased circles and to depict a clear picture to the writers
and ordinary people, we draw the life-sketch of His Excellency, the Amir-ulMomineen, in the following lines.
His Birth and early growth:
Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid, son of Moulavi Ghulam Nabi, grandson of
Moulavi Mohammad Rasool and the great grandson of Moulavi Baaz
Mohammad was born in 1339 AH (solar) i.e. 1960 AD in a religious and
learned family of Chah-i-Himmat village of Khakrez district in Kandahar
province of Afghanistan. His father, Moulavi Ghulam Nabi (late) was also born
in Khakrez district and had received his early education in the traditional
religious institutions and circles of this area. He was a well-known and
respected erudite and social figure among the masses due to his indefatigable
efforts in educating and guiding the people to the right path of Islam.
Two years after the birth of Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid, his father
migrated from Khakrez district to Noday village of Dand district of this same
province and remained there till his last in spreading religious education
among the local people. He died in 1344 AH (solar) i.e. 1965 AD in that area
and was laid to rest in the old famous graveyard of Taliban in Kandahar city.
After the death of his father, Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid shifted at the
age of five along with his family members from Dand district of Kandahar
province to Deh-Rawud district of Uruzgan province where he started his early
life under the supervision of his uncles Moulavi Mohammad Anwar and Moulavi
Mohammad Jumma.
His Early education:
th

th

At the age of eight, Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid joined the primary
madrassa of Shar-i-Kohna area in Deh-Rawud district to get religious
education. This madrassa was supervised by his uncle, Moulavi Mohammad
Jumma and Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid also started his early education
from him.
Both of his uncles, particularly Moulavi Mohammad Anwar, played a key role in
his religious teaching and training.
Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid successfully completed his primary and
middle level education from this madrassa. While eighteen, he started
acquiring the traditional higher religious studies in the region but could not
complete them due to the malicious communist coup d'tat in 1978 AD in
Afghanistan.
His Family:
Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid belongs to the Tomzi clan of Hotak tribe
which comprises a large part of Pashtuns which has delivered eminent Islamic
statesmen, national and Jihadi heroes like the legendary Islamic figure of Haji
Mirwais Khan Hotak.
Great Ghazi Haji Mirwais Khan Hotak (may Allah bless him), who is
remembered with the venerated title of Mirwais Nika (i.e. Mirwais, the
grandfather) by Afghans, liberated Afghanistan from the tyranny of Safavid
dynasty in 1712 AD and laid down the foundation of a sovereign and
independent Islamic state for Afghans.
Professionally, the family of Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid comprises of
scholars and teachers of religious studies. They devoted all their lives to
serving the sacred religion of Allah Almighty, to promoting religious knowledge
and to educating the Muslim masses ideologically. Therefore they were deeply
admired in their area and spiritually, they were considered the most dignified
and social figures of the society.
The birth of Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid in such a spiritual and learned
family and his upbringing under the direct patronage of his well-educated and
ideological patrons deeply cultivated in him the ability to grow as a sincere
Mujahid, a compassionate and vigilant Islamic and national figure who could
emancipate the Afghan society from tyranny, corruption and injustice and
preserve our beloved homeland (Afghanistan) from the imminent danger of
disintegration.
His brothers, uncles and all other family members are Mujahidin and four of
his family members have already sacrificed their lives as martyrs in the path of
Allah Almighty. Mullah Mohammad Hanafia, the uncle of Mullah Mohammad
Umar Mujahid was the first one who was martyred on 7th October 2001, the
starting date of the brutal bombardment of American invaders.
His Jihadi struggles:
Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid was in his early twenties when the
communists usurped control of Afghanistan through a bloody military coup
d'tat. It was a time when it became nearly impossible for Mullah Mohammad
Umar Mujahid like all other heedful students to continue their studies as the
starting encounter of atheist communists was against the scholars, Taliban,
students and other Muslim intellectuals throughout the country. At that time,
Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid decided to abandon his higher studies

unfinished. He left madrassa and turned towards Jihadi front to discharge his
religious obligation.
He started his Jihadi struggle under a well-known Jihadi organization of
Harkat-i-Inqilaab-i-Islami (Islamic Revolutionary Movement) in Deh-Rawud
district of Uruzgan province. After spending a while in this district, he earned a
reputation for being a valiant Jihadi figure who played an active role in several
military operations against the communists in various parts of that district.
Due to his Jihadi prominence and a successful role in various Jihadi operations,
he used to get the unanimous consent of all the Mujahidin of different parts
and groups to be their commander in Deh-Rawud district for leading largescale offensives against the enemy and he executed exceptionally successful
operations in which he was wounded several times. He participated in many
confrontations for more than three years along with his local Mujahidin against
the invading Russians and their internal communist puppets.
The companions and commanders of his Jihadi front say that Mullah
Mohammad Umar Mujahid, in-spite of being young, was efficient enough to
discharge any responsibility or task as he was bestowed with strong physical
composition and potency.
Later in 1983 AD, he went to Maiwand district of Kandahar province along
with his Jihadi colleagues for the better co-ordination of Jihadi activities and
continued his armed struggle against the Russian invaders and their internal
stooges under the leadership of famous Jihadi commander Faizullah
Akhunzada who belonged to Harkat-i-Inqilab-i-Islami (The Islamic
Revolutionary Movement), one of the seven well-known Jihadi organizations of
that time. Due to his successful role as a local Jihadi commander in numerous
Jihadi operations and his efficiency and distinction in military tactics, he drew
the attention of the then Jihadi organizations and eventually, he was
permanently given the responsibility of a Jihadi front through The Islamic
Revolutionary Movement headed by (late) Moulavi Mohammad Nabi
Mohammadi.
From 1983 to 1991, Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid executed very
successful operations in the suburbs of Maiwand, Zhari, Panjwai and Dand
districts of Kandahar province which were vital Jihadi centers and Mujahidin
used to be involved in fighting the enemy on a daily basis. Similarly he
personally and directly participated in several victorious operations against the
Russian invaders on the main Kabul-Kandahar high way in the suburbs of
Shahr-i-Safa and Qalat cities of Zabul province. His preferred weapon of
choice was the RPG-7, which was simply called Rocket among the local
Mujahidin, as he was proficient and an expert in using this weapon. It is worth
mentioning that Maiwand, Zhari and Panjwai districts of Kandahar province
were areas of intense fighting during the Jihad against communism which
turned the tide and brought about Russias defeat and withdrawal. Such a large
number of tanks and other military vehicles were destroyed on the main
Kandahar-Herat highway that the enemy had erected walls made from these
wreckages on both sides of the road to protect them from Mujahidin assaults.
Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid was wounded four times in confrontational
Jihadi operations against the Russians and in one of these operations, he lost
his right eye.

Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid was known as a prominent and

distinguished Jihadi commander who played a crucial and decisive role in
numerous Jihadi operations against the Russian invaders and their internal
communist puppets in Kandahar and its neighboring provinces. In the following
lines, we will mention some events and anecdotes by his Jihadi companions
against the Russian invaders.
1.The enemy had a strong post inside Kandahar province which was known as
Budwan post. A military tank was stationed by the enemy at a strategic
juncture near the post which created a great hurdle for the Mujahidin as it
could target any line-of-fire easily. Mujahidin tried their best to destroy this
tank but failed to succeed. Eventually Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid was
called in for help from Sang-i-Hisaar area. He hit and destroyed this tank of
Budwan post with his RPG rocket launcher which was a tremendous success
for the Mujahidin at that time.
2.During the Holy Jihad against Russians in Mahalla-Jaat area of Kandahar
province, Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid was accompanied in a
confrontation with the enemy by Shaheed Mullah Ubaidulla Akhund who was
later appointed the Defense Minister of the Islamic Emirate and the Deputy of
Ameer-ul-Momineen (i.e. the leader of the pious believers) after the American
invasion. A large number of enemy tanks and other military vehicles were
destroyed by them. The following day, visitors were bewildered and could not
believe that the enemy was repelled. They thought that the enemy forces were
still intact even though a large number of their vehicles were burnt and the
remaining ones were pushed back to their previous locations.
3.A convoy of Russian military tanks was passing through Sang-i-Hisaar area
of Zhari district on the main Kandahar-Herat highway. Mullah Mohammad
Umar Mujahid was accompanied by Mullah Biradar Akhund who later became
the Deputy of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, while they only had four RPG
rounds. Unwavering they attacked the convoy and destroyed four military
tanks with these rounds.
4.Mullah Biradar Akhund, a close friend of Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid
during the Holy Jihad era against the Russians, said that such a large number
of Russian tanks were destroyed by him that his friends are unsure about its
exact number.
In 1992, after the collapse of Najeebs communist regime and with the
eruption of factional fighting throughout the country, like all other righteous
Mujahidin, Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid laid down his arms, set up a
religious madrassa next to the mosque of Haji Ibrahim in Gishaan village of
Sang-i-Hisaar area in Maiwand district of Kandahar province and settled
there. He restarted his unfinished religious studies along with some other
Jihadi colleagues after a long and difficult fourteen year struggle.
This was a time when deadly factional fighting had engulfed the entire country
including the capital city Kabul. Some factional warlords, purely for the sake of
their personal interests, violated the objectives of the Holy Jihad against
Russians and brought humiliation to the aspirations of one and a half million
Afghan martyrs who sacrificed their lives for defending Islam and establishing
an independent Islamic government in their beloved homeland.
Resistance against anarchy and founding the Islamic Emirate:

Instead of establishing an Islamic system of life in order to fulfill the long

awaited aspirations of the whole Mujahid nation of our country, internal
factional fighting broke out. The fact was that Mujahidin were weakened and
sidelined through a pre-planned conspiracy. Some of the prominent communist
figures who should have been trialed were unfortunately given shelter by some
former Mujahidin commanders and some other warlords began looting,
violating the people and plundering the country in an organized fashion.
In this way, the whole nation and country was plunged into a state of anarchy
and lawlessness which was not experienced by the Afghans throughout their
past history. The life, honor and property of all pious Muslims were
endangered. Self made check-posts and barriers of stubborn, ignorant and
brutal warlords were found on the main roads and thoroughfares of the
country. Not only a wishful amount of money was demanded by these warlords
from our poor countrymen but the honor and chastity of our already oppressed
people was also at stake at these barriers. The national assets of our country,
the achievements of previous Holy Jihad and even the jungles and other
natural and mineral resources were relentlessly exploited by those warlords
who were unprecedented in our history. Not only was the fruits of fourteen
year Jihad against the Russians endangered but the daily life of ordinary
people was also at stake.
Social corruption, killing, looting and plunder, oppressions, barbarism and the
incessant sufferings of the Muslim masses were increasing daily due to the
prevailing chaos and anarchy throughout the country. This situation deeply
troubled righteous Mujahidin who had fought for the freedom, dignity and
prosperity of the Muslim Afghan masses.
Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid who was living along with Jihadi colleagues
in Maiwand district of Kandahar province was also deeply anxious about the
prevailing anarchy like all other true Mujahidin. He observed that numerous
barriers were erected on the main Kandahar-Herat highway and the
oppressed passengers, women and white-bearded elders were looted,
disgraced and even killed in the broad day light by ruthless warlords. It is
worth mentioning that the number of illegal barriers and check-posts had
increased to an extent that the traders, bringing their merchandise from
Herat province to the border town of Boldak in Kandahar province, used to
unload their goods in Maiwand district due to unlimited demands of these
barrier-holders. Then they used to transfer their goods through unknown
desert routs to their destination after suffering intolerable hardships.
Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid and his colleagues were fully aware about
the prevailing situation in Kandahar province where the brutal warlords were
dispersed in each and every corner of the city. They were incessantly usurping
the public as well as private properties and selling them for huge amounts of
money. They erected their private markets on government lands. Moreover,
they always used to fight among themselves on minor issues which caused
great distress for the ordinary people.
These endless sufferings of the helpless and oppressed people of our country
compelled the true and righteous Mujahidin to bond together and find a
solution for protecting the lives, honor and properties of the Muslims.
Mujahidin started meetings and counseling amongst themselves.

Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid and his companions arranged their first
meeting in Zangawat area of Panjwai district in Kandahar province involving
the well-known and authentic local and regional Ulama (scholars). This
gathering of Ulama headed by Moulavi Said Mohammad (known as Moulavi
Pasanai Sahib), the arbitrator general of Mujahidin in Kandahar province
during the Holy Jihad against Russians, told Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid
to stand and resist against this anarchy as he would be supported by all of
them. This was the initial meeting of the Islamic Movement and Mullah
Mohammad Umar Mujahid laid down the foundation of his struggle against
chaos and corruption on 15th Muharram 1415 AH (lunar) (i.e. 24th or 25th June
1994).
The Islamic Movement launched their struggle and fight against corruption and
anarchy under the leadership of Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid which was
widely welcomed by the true and righteous Mujahidin and ordinary masses.
First, they liberated Kandahar province and then other vast areas of
Afghanistan from the corrupt and wicked warlords. At that time, when major
parts of Afghanistan came under the control of Islamic Movement of Taliban, a
large number of Afghan Ulama, comprising more than 1500 religious scholars,
convened a meeting in Kandahar city on 15th Dhul Qada 1416 AH (lunar) (i.e.
4th April 1996). They approved the leadership of Mullah Mohammad Umar
Mujahid and conferred the title of Ameer-ul-Momineen (the leader of the
pious believers) on him. On 6th Libra 1375 AH (solar) (i.e. 27th September
1996), Kabul city, the capital of Afghanistan also came under the control of the
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and subsequently, the supremacy of the Islamic
Emirate prevailed in ninety five percent territory of our beloved homeland
including all the central and northern parts of Afghanistan.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, under the leadership of Mullah Mohammad
Umar Mujahid established an Islamic system based on the sublime rules and
principles of Sharia Law. After a long interval, the world witnessed a practical
model of an Islamic government once again. He preserved the country from
disintegration and disarmed the unruly warlords which resulted in the
restoration of exemplary peace and stability in the country which was deemed
unattainable by the whole world including the United Nations. But (and there is
great But) the arrogant infidel powers of the world could not tolerate this
Sharia system established by the Islamic Emirate which became a thorn of
their eyes. Therefore they adopted and initiated antagonistic behaviour
towards it. They tried their best either to find or create lame excuses to
overthrow this system and eventually they launched a joint military invasion
against it.
His charismatic personality:
As a leading personality, Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid has a unique and
charismatic personality. Contrary to high ranking officials and leaders, he does
not want to show off or boast. He is not eager or excited to speak if it is unnecessary to do so. And if needed, his words and sentences are keen,
perceptive and logical. For instance in the early days prior to the American
invasion, wide range propaganda was launched to demoralize Mujahidin and
oust the Islamic Emirate. The Americans left no stone unturned and all the

western media outlets, their radio stations and popular television stations were
fully devoted to promoting American malicious objectives.
But contrary to all these devious efforts and propaganda, he assured his own
people in his simple, reasonable but self-confidence mode and tone and
delivered the following message:
Allah is Almighty. Whether it is America or a tiny ant, it makes no difference
for Him. America and her allies should listen carefully that the Islamic Emirate
is not like one of the previous regimes whose Ameer (head) would flee the
country; as it happened in the case of King Zahir Shah, the former monarch of
Afghanistan, who sought asylum in Rome; nor will my soldiers (personnel)
surrender to you. You should remember that these are well-organized Jihadi
fronts. If the capital and other cities of the country fall in your hand and the
Islamic government is ousted, instead of surrendering, our Mujahidin will
spread to the countryside and go to the mountains. What will you do then?
Inevitably, you will be caught and killed everywhere just like the Russians.
You should realize that bringing chaos is very easy but its eradication and the
restoration of law and order is a huge and strenuous task. Death is inevitable
and all living creatures will have to die one day. Instead of dying without faith
and dignity while supporting the Americans, wouldnt it be better to die with
faith and dignity in the service of Islam?
Some people might not have understood these expressions of Mullah
Mohammad Umar Mujahid which were fraught with firm belief, devotion and
sincerity but nearly fourteen years have elapsed since this huge one-sided
battle was launched and the American super power, NATO alliance and other
allied forces are on the verge of defeat by the empty handed but devotional
and determined Mujahidin of Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid; those
gentlemen might now have understood the simple but historic expressions of
our leader.
Similarly at the beginning of the American invasion, he declared to the Afghan
masses in a radio broadcasted speech while alluding to the foreign invaders
and their internal stooges that weapons can bring death but it cannot defy it.
This sentence might have been a meaningless and insignificant composition of
words for some people but in the previous thirteen years, the implications of
these simple words were practically observed when the brutal foreign invaders
relentlessly killed a large number of innocent people with the help of their
advanced technology and weapons of mass destruction but they could not turn
death away from their own soldiers who are incessantly being killed, wounded
and incarcerated for the last thirteen years by the heroic Mujahidin under the
leadership of Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid.
It is an important fact that even the arrogant foreign invaders, who are fully
equipped with all kinds of modern weapons and other facilities, plainly admit
that thousands of their soldiers were killed and wounded inside Afghanistan in
this futile war.
According to Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid, it is better to speak less and
do more as our religion emphasizes deeds over words or ideas. His life is
totally free from ceremonies and un-necessary protocols. He has adopted a
simple and plain style in all aspects of his life. Simple dress, simple food,

simple talk, frankness and informality are his natural habits. He does not stand
on ceremonies and dislikes ceremonial people.
He considers determination, prudence and sincerity as the basis of all progress
and the more prudent, sincere and decisive one is among his colleagues the
more he is admired and loved by him.
Similarly he is used to facing hardships, sufferings and ups and downs of life.
Whatever the magnitude and intensity of the tragedy or trouble might be, he
remains tranquil and does not lose either temper or courage. During varying
conditions of jubilation and jeopardy, triumph and failure, he remains serene
and self-controlled.
He deeply respects scholars and other elders. Gravity of manner, dignity,
modesty, reverence, reciprocal respect, sympathy, mercy and sincerity are his
natural traits. Strong determination, trusting in only One Allah the Almighty
and a strong belief in what is ordained by Him are the distinguishing features
of his life.
This is the reason that Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid is deeply loved and
revered by his followers and Mujahidin which has nothing to do with his
apparent worldly status. It has been nearly thirteen years that our beloved
homeland Afghanistan is invaded and occupied by the brutal foreign invaders
but his devoted and sincere Mujahidin follow his verbal and written commands
and decrees as reverently as they did it in his presence and do not refrain from
even sacrificing their lives to execute his orders.
His vigilance about the international and Islamic issues:
Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid, as the founder of the Islamic Movement of
Taliban and a leader of the Muslims, is fully cautious and takes keen interest in
all the issues relating to the Muslim Umma.
He has always defended the issue of Al-Aqsa Mosque (the first Qibla or prayer
direction of early Muslims) and the vindicated claim of Palestinian Muslims. He
has taken a clear stance and supported all issues of Muslims in all parts of the
world. He considers it the duty and obligation of every Muslim to liberate the
Al-Aqsa Mosque from the occupation of Zionist Jews.
Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid feels pity and shares the sufferings of all
Muslim people. His sincerity, sympathy, brotherhood and co-operation with the
Muslim brothers of the world are not restricted only to slogans but rather he
has proved it practically and in the real sense of all these terms.
His ideological association:
Ideologically, Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid belongs to the main Ahl-iSunna wal Jammaa (the believers in Quran, traditions of the Holy Prophet,
peace be upon him, and the consensus of Muslim Umma). He is the imitator of
Hanafi school of thought.
He is severely opposed to all heresy or heterodox opinions. He never likes
sectional, ideological and factional differences among the Muslims. He always
recommends and insists on Islamic and ideological unity and co-operations to
his followers and all other Muslims as the ideological unification among the
Muslims is the utmost demand of this crucial time. Following the path of our
pious predecessors and leading scholars in the light of Quran and Hadith (i.e.
the traditions of our Holy Prophet, peace be upon him) is considered the only
path of salvation by him for the Muslim Umma.

His personal life:

Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid who has spent most part of his life in
acquiring religious studies, Jihad, invitation and guidance towards Islam, might
be the poorest person who has taken no personal advantage from Bait-ul-mal
i.e. the public treasury of the Muslim state among the contemporary leaders
of Afghanistan. He has not accumulated any wealth to spend on a luxurious life
in the previous Jihad era against Russians by taking disadvantage of his
personal influence, nor has he lived lavishly in the seven years reign of his
overall control during the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid even now does not own an ordinary
residence neither has he any cash deposits in any foreign bank accounts. In
1999 when unilateral and ruthless economic sanctions were imposed by the
United Nations on the oppressed people of Afghanistan and all the foreign bank
accounts of Taliban leadership were frozen, Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid,
the highest ranking official, being the head of the Islamic Emirate of
Afghanistan, had no bank accounts either inside the country or outside nor
anywhere else with any assumed name.
During the reign of the Islamic Emirate, when his residence came under the
deadly attack of the brutal enemy which resulted in the martyrdom of his
family members along with several other innocent people, some officials of the
Islamic Emirate decided to build another residence and an office for the
leadership of the Islamic Emirate in the north western part of Kandahar city,
near the hill of Baba Sahib for his safety purposes as there was no residential
area in the suburbs of this location. This residence was also administered by
the Bait-ul-mal as one of its general properties therefore it too was not
considered the private ownership of his Excellency.
In 1996 AD, when he was conferred with the title of Ameer-ul-Momineen (i.e.
the head of the pious believers), instead of showing excitement or jubilation,
he bitterly wept as his shoulder sheet was completely soaked with his tears. At
the end of that historical meeting, he told the Ulama present:
You are the inheritors of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) and you have
thrown a heavy responsibility upon my shoulders. In reality, you will be held
responsible for my steadfastness as well as deviation from it.
O our teachers and respected scholars! If I could not discharge this huge
responsibility of the Muslim masses in a proper way or deviate from it, you will
have to guide me towards the right path in the light of your knowledge. If the
Taliban do make mistakes in the implementation of Sharia and you do not
guide them knowingly, you will have to bear the responsibility on the Day of
Judgment.
His nature and temperament:
Besides the natural silence of Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid, he is affable
and has a special sense of humor as he never considers himself superior to his
colleagues whatever their status might have been. He treats them cheerfully,
cordially, compassionately and with reciprocal reverence. In most of his
meetings, he usually speaks about Jihad.
His daily activities in the present circumstances:
In the present crucial conditions and regularly being tracked by the enemy, no
major change and disruption has been observed in the routine works of Mullah

Mohammad Umar Mujahid in following and organizing the Jihadi activities as

the leader of the Islamic Emirate. He begins his working day with the prayers
to Allah Almighty and recitation of the Holy Quran. In free time, he studies
various commentaries of the Holy Quran and traditions of the Holy Prophet
(peace be upon him). He keenly follows and inspects the Jihadi activities
against the brutal infidel foreign invaders. In organizing and reshuffling the
Jihadi and military issues, he delivers his orders in a specific way to his Jihadi
commanders. He regularly follows the Jihadi publications and other
international media resources to judge his victories and likewise other issues
against the foreign invaders. In this way, he remains in touch with the day to
day happenings of his country as well as the outside world. These activities
form his basic daily life in the present circumstances.
The Islamic Emirate under his leadership:
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan was established as an Islamic Movement
under the leadership of Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid on 15th of Muharram
1415 AH (lunar) (i.e. 24th June 1994) which subsequently passed through
several crucial stages while enjoying the support thousands of scholars,
Mujahidin and the pious masses of our country. It had the honor of
implementing the Islamic Sharia in ninety five percent land of our beloved
homeland. It is still controlling vast areas of the country and is involved in
armed resistance against the infidel western invaders as a pure and lofty
Islamic Emirate.
Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid is still the leader in the present hierarchy of
the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. His deputy, the leading council, judiciary,
nine executive commissions and three other administration organs are active
under his leadership which form the warp and woof of the present setup of the
Islamic Emirate.
The deputy of the Islamic Emirate, besides inspecting and assessing all the
subordinate organs, conveys their working reports to the Ameer-ul-Momineen
and communicates the orders and decrees of the leader to all the concerned
organs and authorities. The leading council of the Islamic Emirate consists of
twenty members who are appointed by the leadership and convene their
meetings under the deputy of the Islamic Emirate. This council discusses and
makes decisions about all political, military, social and other critical issues.
Judiciary of the Islamic Emirate has a separate and wide setup which
comprises of primary courts, courts of appellation and court of cassation which
are busy in discharging their own responsibilities.
To meet the needs of present circumstances, nine different commissions are
set up in the present hierarchy of the Islamic Emirate. Due to ongoing Jihadi
requirements, the largest one is the military commission which consists of nine
sub-circles. This commission is responsible for appointing governors or military
in-charges for all 34 provinces of Afghanistan, military in-charges of all
districts, setting up sub-commissions which are subsequently responsible for
all military and civil affairs of their respective provinces and districts.
The remaining commissions are as following:
Education and Training Commission
Commission of Political Affairs
Cultural Commission

Economic Commission
Health Commission
Invitation, Guidance and Amalgamation Commission
Commission of Prisoners Affairs
Commission for NGOs
The remaining organs of the Islamic Emirate are:
Organ for the Prevention of Civilian Casualties
Organ for Martyrs and Disabled People
Organ for Collecting and Organizing Special Revenues
The Islamic Emirate controls a major part of Afghanistan as a well-organized
and working system for over two decades under the leadership of Mullah
Mohammad Umar Mujahid which has sincerely implemented the Islamic
system of life in all areas of its jurisdiction. Law and order is restored; lives,
honor and properties of the Muslim masses are safeguarded.
During this whole period of time, the Islamic Emirate has faced several
challenges and adversities as the only active Islamic system of governance but
it has successfully survived by the grace and benevolence of Allah Almighty
through all these challenges and confrontations as it has proved its
determination and steadfastness to its lofty principles throughout these
adversities.
May Allah Almighty protect and safeguard our leader!
