The life of the Ummah is connected to the ink of the scholars and the blood of the martyrs.

What is more beautiful than to write the history of the Ummah with both the ink of the scholar and his blood


“The life of the Ummah is connected to the ink of the scholars and the blood of the martyrs. What is more beautiful than to write the history of the Ummah with both the ink of the scholar and his blood, such that the map of Islamic history becomes coloured with two lines: one of them black, and that is what the scholar writes with the ink of his pen; and the second red, and that is what the martyr writes with his blood. And more beautiful than this is when the blood is one and the pen is one, so that the hand of the scholar, which expends the ink and moves the pen, is the same hand that expends his blood and moves the nations. The extent to which the number of martyred scholars increases, is the extent to which nations are delivered from their slumber, rescued from their decline and awoken from their sleep.




So history does not write its lines except with blood. Glory does not build its lofty edifice except with skulls. Honour and respect cannot be established except on a foundation of cripples and corpses. Empires, noble persons, states and societies, cannot be established except with examples"



ash-Sheikh ash-Shaheed ‘Abdullah Yoosuf ‘Azzam








The Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa'sallam said:

"Al Muslimoon Ummatun Waahida Bilaadahum Waahida wa Harbahum Waahida"

("The Muslims are ONE Ummah, their land is ONE land and their war is ONE war.")
