Rabi'a Nawaf Al-Hazimy: From Blessed Mecca, Saudi Arabia, Rabi'a Nawaf Al-Hazimy was energetic, strong-minded, patient and shy, who clutched the reins of his horse, asking for death bravely in the sake of Allah.
Bilal: His brother is Salim Al-Hazim from Blessed Mecca, Saudi Arabia, who Al-lah threw the belief in Allah into his heart, so he left everything behind. His motto was: “Heaven is under the shadows of the swords.”
Fayez Al-Kadi: Bani Hamad, commonly known as Ahmad, was a hard worker, talented, humble and shy. As for the tribes of ‘Aseer, they will have the share of the lion, Ghamid, Zahran and Bani Shahl.
Ahmad Al-Haznawi Al-Ghamdi: Daring, who didn't frightened when confronted by anxiety, and who didn't bend in his strong will through his fear of Allah, Ahmad Al-Haznawi Al-Ghamdi was an Imam (Muslim scholar), an orator, and an instiga-tor of Jihad in the cause of Allah.
Hamza Al-Ghamdi: With the love for Jihad in the cause of Allah that controlled his heart, Hamza Al-Ghamdi toiled in worshipping, staying up all night to worship Allah, remembering Allah and reading the Quran, picking up the words as the Ka'ib picked up the dates.
Akrama Ahmad Al-Ghamdi: Akrama Ahmad Al-Ghamdi was abnormally strong-willed, patient, and a giver.
Mo'taz Sa'id Al-Ghamdi: Mo'taz Sa'id Al-Ghamdi was a good worshipper of Allah, who commanded what is right and forbade what is wrong in his body on earth and whose heart was flying with the green birds that are attached to the throne of the Most Gracious Allah. We judge him and Allah is his ultimate judge.
Wail and Walid Al-Sakly Al-Shahry: These brothers were dedicated worship-pers who stayed up all night worshipping Allah and who

were good-mannered, shy and toiling. Their father is a merchant and the sheik of a tribe. The worldly life beckoned them with its pleasures so they escaped from it to the rough mountains of Afghanistan, wishing for what Allah has in Heaven.
Omar Mohanad Al-Shahly: Omar Mohanad Al-Shahly had a gentle manner, was patient and desired martyrdom sincerely from Allah. We judge him and Allah is his ultimate judge.
Al-Sheikh Abu Al-Abas Abd Al-Aziz Al-Umary Zahrany: A model of the con-temporary Islamic scholars and one of the remaining ones, he was a hard work-ing Islamic scholar who protected education from the tyrants and liberated it from being a prisoner among their ranks.
So these men were sure that the way to attain justice and to get rid the injustice was Jihad in the cause of Allah, and that the way to halt the fury of the non-believers is through Jihad in the cause of Allah. Allah said: “Then fight in Allah's cause. Thou art held responsible only for thyself - and rouse the Believers. It may be that Allah will restrain the fury of the unbelievers; for Allah is the strongest in might and in punishment.”
So these men all desired to prepare to answer on the Day of Judgment. They left their homes because of their strong belief in Allah and the Day of Judgment and the Followers of Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him), knowing that there was a stream of excuses delivered to them by those Arabs which did not concern them. How can they believe them and the Andalus from five centuries no longer [exists]? How can they believe them when the liberation of Palestine that has gone on for over nine decades hasn't happened yet? How can they believe them when the camps for training for Jihad in the cause of Allah in Afghanistan opened up twenty years ago yet they didn't even allow the people to get their feet dirty from the dust in the cause of Allah?
