Muammar Gaddafi's website, Seven Days News, says it has published the last will of the deceased former leader of Libya.

The document was reportedly handed to three of his relatives, one of whom was killed, the second arrested and the third managed to escape the fighting in Sirte.

Here is the English translation:

"This is my will. I, Muammar bin Mohammad bin Abdussalam bi Humayd bin Abu Manyar bin Humayd bin Nayil al Fuhsi Gaddafi, do swear that there is no other God but Allah and that Mohammad is God's Prophet, peace be upon him. I pledge that I will die as Muslim.

Should I be killed, I would like to be buried, according to Muslim rituals, in the clothes I was wearing at the time of my death and my body unwashed, in the cemetery of Sirte, next to my family and relatives.

I would like that my family, especially women and children, be treated well after my death. The Libyan people should protect its identity, achievements, history and the honourable image of its ancestors and heroes. The Libyan people should not relinquish the sacrifices of the free and best people.

I call on my supporters to continue the resistance, and fight any foreign aggressor against Libya, today, tomorrow and always.

Let the free people of the world know that we could have bargained over and sold out our cause in return for a personal secure and stable life. We received many offers to this effect but we chose to be at the vanguard of the confrontation as a badge of duty and honour.

Even if we do not win immediately, we will give a lesson to future generations that choosing to protect the nation is an honour and selling it out is the greatest betrayal that history will remember forever despite the attempts of the others to tell you otherwise."

Salam,

Ok why didn't this guy come on TV when he had the chance and explain himself and talk about this "western conspiracy" instead of appearing and talking nonsense and calling people "rats" and making absolutely no sense at all?

[RlUbQU3R]

If that is true, we should not consider him an outright Kafir, regardless of his (numerous and major) faults.

[lapInsalm]

i saw a video in which he was saying Allahu Akbar just moments before his death.

The men around him were hitting him and his face was full of blood.

I'm confused, so many mails and bbm messages are being circulated stating the great economic benefits that Libyan's had enjoyed under his rule and the many technological advancements that he gave them. Is this true?

Are they really worse off now then under his rule?

[Sheelldaw]

brother actually I think he was a bit insane. The problem was not the economy. The problem was.....where shall i start. Going to fajr salah regularly, growing a beard, any sort of outword religiousness, his clear cut kufr in his green book, his constant mockery of the sunnah and shariah even in his final days. Calling the rebels gressy rats with beards and turbuns. His speech was clearly mocking the beard and turbun. These were the major problems. His oppression and mismanagement of the economy is another issue. He was a man in bed with the kuffar and was their man. I can't think of any favourable islamic policies he implemented. The situation in Libya is optimistic. There is a strong chance of some sort of islamists getting some power and definitely there will be more religious freedom. Mashallah the number of beards has already dramatically risen. I know Libya well as I have friends from there who told me clearly that a bearded person would be told to shave his beard.

I think the worst of a nation is shown in the way they treat their enemies. No matter what, they should not have beaten Qaddafi like that. We follow the sunnah of our Rasulullah .

[Sheelldaw]

True sister. Our shariah does not allow such behaviour. Actually they should have just captured him and put him on trial and let him spill the beans on how he brought the west by offering them loads of oil contracts and how Tony Blair was amongst his close buddies. It would have been a great chance to shame the kuffar world and their exploitation. Shariah cannot justify taunts, swearing etc even to our worst enemies.

So easy to give fatwas sitting in a comfortable chair in your home.

What is wrong with what he said? Did the sahaba treat their enemies in a foul way? What did Rasulullah do to Wahshi?

edit: Of course I don't mean during battle btw. I mean prisoners.

[vdw4Epsi]

He was caught during battle. When you catch someone during war, you can either kill him or take him as a prisoner.

The ones fighting against him are not 100% perfect muslims. We don't even know who they are, why they are fighting against Qazzafi. Who knows? What's the point in preaching them on SF about what to do to prisoners? Is any libyan rebel reading SF here?

They were raged and they had anger against him. They killed him during battle, after fighting for so long.. No need to give fatwas against them and portray them as bad.

Just give them the benefit of a doubt.

[Kolovorotkes]

Who's giving any fatwahs or preaching? I just mentioned what a Muslim is supposed to do, treat a prisoner humanely.

Salam alikum,
I have also seen the video where the allahu akbar was said as he was captured and may be killed.
This end is better for him than he should be dragged to international courts. He was tired and sick person in my view.

Ml could you give reference to the punishemnt given to the tribe who were told to drink camel unrine and they turned murtad. How they were punished.

People only remember one wahshi incident and not so many otehr in seerah.

[Squeernemergo]

I think the concern here should be how the 'dead body' was treated after death.

As for the treatment before death as Ml.Taliban mentioned he was captured during a battle, so...


We are laymen, most of us haven't been anywhere near a war zone.
May Allah protect the Mujahideen from errors. Ameen.



Perhaps this thread is going in the wrong way.
Is there anyone from Northern Ireland here? need help here: http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/show...thern-Ireland-....

I reckon that was for me. Please note I have nothing against people fighting in the path of Allah. What I do wonder is the treatment of prisoners of war.

@ br amr- The vid I saw, I think it was taken after he was dead. body dragged around, kicked at etc. Is this Islamically legitimate? (I don't know btw. So sincere answer requested.)

[vdw4Epsi]

The prisoners can be killed or kept as prisoners or released without any punishment. It all depends on the ones taking them as prisoners.

All the male prisoners of Banu Quraizah were killed after they surrendered..... That's interesting.

I don't want to answer the second question.[Mod Edit]

Glad i didn't narrate it and left it to a scholar. fine wisdom. jzk.

brother,

what do you mean by 'That's interesting' in the case of Banu Quraizah?

[Lebybynctisee]

Yeah, the men of the Jewish tribe were killed. Were they beaten before being killed, cause I don't see how you can use that as an analogy to justify what happened to Qadhafi (note, I have always supported his removal so...)

It is true prisoners of war can be killed or freed, etc, but Qadhafi was not just killed, it was the manner his captivity was conducted which seems to be the issue here. And the fact that none of us are in a battlefield doesn't mean we cannot discuss the issues here...
