Association of Oppressed indicated in the message that the struggle of Sheikh Yasin has been a significant example for Muslims today as it was yesterday.

“Among the believers are men who have [always] been true to what they have vowed before God; and among them are such as have [already] redeemed their pledge by death, and such as yet await [its fulfilment] without having changed [their resolve] in the least.” Introductory of the message started with verse 23 of Surah Ahzab, it is underlined that Sheikh Ahmad Yasin’s struggle is a significant example for youth of today.

Noting that Sheikh Ahmad Yasin was a successive scholar of prophet, it is said: “On March 22nd 2004, one of the leaders and scholars of Ummah and leader of Palestine Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS) Sheikh Ahmad Yasin was martyred in an attack conducted by Zionist terrorists. He had a paralyzed body but with his language and mind he was a successor of Prophet. This preeminent person had a worthy life story that this still is an important exemplary for all Muslims.”

Remarking his life as a precious exemplary for Islamic youth, it is said in the message that: “Never hesitating to work for the cause of Allah, Sheikh Ahmad Yasin was targeted by Zionists’ rocket offensive after performing his morning prayer and attained martyrdom along with his four assistants. Today youth has a lot to learn from this great Islam mujahid’s life that devoted his life to Islam. Sheikh Yasin demonstrated us that how a faithful heart can challenge to world’s tyrannies despite having many material obstacles. His struggle will never be forgotten and his life will always be a precious exemplary for our youth.”

It is said at the end of the message released by Association of Oppressed that: “we remember him with mercy again on his 12th martyrdom anniversary. On this occasion, we pray and plead from our Lord to save Quds and Masjid al Aqsa from Zionists’ occupation. And we wish God would gain our brothers a definite victory.” (ILKHA)
