The brother amir of the Shirqat sector/Wilayat Dijlah/as-salam alaykum wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu
This is a summary of the civilian and military position for the daily activity of the Diwan al-Masajid Shirqat Sector
. Number of lectures, activities and sermons in total: 201 activities. . Number of civilian activities in the mosques and tribal and youth meetings: 130. . Number of military activities in the frontlines, camps and checkpoints: 71. . Number of sermons on Friday for all working members: 43. . One of the members of the Diwan al-Da’wa wa al-Masajid participated in the Baiji battles, which led to his wounding in aircraft bombing in the al-Maliha area. . We opened the Imam al-Shafi’i Institute to prepare imams and preachers and we have received until now around 70 students. . And the the opening of the institute was not accomplished easily as it cost us much time and effort. And all the members of the Diwan al-Masajid were occupied with continual work to prepare it. . Likewise the Diwan Bayt al-Mal entrusted a group of members of the Diwan al-Masajid in recording the share of the maskeen [poor], the wayfarer and the orphans, and the Diwan al-Masajid had the prominen role in organising the matters and administering them. . The general level of activity of lectures for this month has been reduced because of the preoccupation with the preparation of the institute for imams and preachers, and likewise because of the preoccupation with the share of the orphans, the maskeen and the wayfarer. And we pledge by the permission of God that the compensation will be double in the blessed month of Ramadan.

In Aleppo
Subject: Request
Praise be to God and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of God, his family, companions and whoso is loyal to him. As for what follows:
As-salam alaykum wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu
To the dear brothers in the Diwan al-Siha in al-Sham in particular the Pharmacy Council, we ask you to provide us with the vaccines if they are available with you and that is because we have pressing need for them and because they are not available in Wilayat al-Anbar. So we ask you to facilitate the matter of providing us with them. And we have raised a letter about them to the Diwan al-Siha in Iraq, and that is according to your request for cooperation with you and for the sake of the interest of the Muslims. And the vaccines we need and are not available with us currently are:
And that is through your knowledge in transaction in bringing the vaccines from special sources. As for us, we do not have the ability to purchase them and we are in pressing need for them. So may God reward you best and may God write your reward and protect your amirs.
And may God reward you best.
[Two Islamic State stamps on bottom of letter: I believe one is for the al-Anbar health centre and the other for the Diwan al-Siha in al-Sham/Syria to acknowledge receipt. There is also a doctor’s stamp].
Kunya: Abu Ali al-Jarjari ID number: 1,200,012,093 Weapon number: 1752 Blood type: Battalion: Tariq bin Ziyad
Islamic State Diwan al-Jund Military/General Administrative Official
[Comment: Found by Josie Ensor in Mosul. The Tariq bin Ziyad Battalion was known for having many foreign fighters in its ranks (i.e. people from outside Iraq and Syria) and the ID number beginning 1,200,0…is found for a number of the battalion’s personnel. See here for comparisonas well as West Point CTC’s study on Islamic State databases discussing the ID number system. However, it should be noted that the name ‘al-Jarjari‘ suggests this fighter was originally from the Mosul area/Ninawa.Note that ‘Eastern Region’ refers to the Iraqi theatre of operation for the Islamic State.].

Diwan al-Hisba Wilayat al-Sham al-Khayr
No. 0361
Praise be to God and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of God. As for what follows:
To the individual called [redacted], living in the village of Jadid Aqeedat and owner of the oven: the Islamic State gives you a deadline of three days at most from the issuing of this statement 28 Rajab 1442 AH to distribute bread through agents. And we will never be content with the queue of women at the bakery and appointment of an agent particular to the women and the poor and displaced families.
And if you do not respond to the demands of the Islamic State, we will blow up this bakery by the permission of God. And the one who has warned has been excused.
Stamp and signature:

Islamic State Wilayat al-Khayr Diwan al-Hisba
[Comment: this odd document, which looks like a poorly composed electronic forgery, has numerous signs pointing to its forgery. First, the stamp is unclear and bears the marking of ‘Wilayat al-Khayr’ even though this is supposed to be a document issued in the name of Wilayat al-Sham (all Syrian territories come under this wilaya currently, with the smaller region wilayas having been cancelled some time ago). In addition, there is no reason why the Islamic State’s Diwan al-Hisba should threaten a bakery owner in some village not under its formal control to distribute bread. Comparison of the format of this document also shows many parallels with a forgery that is a purported Islamic State list threatening individuals in Deir az-Zor].

No. 1003 Date: 1 May 2016
In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
To: Wilayat al-Fallujah Subject: Mobilising of forces
Praise be to God and prayers and peace and salutations be upon the Messenger of God and his family. As for what follows:
As-salam alaykum wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu
The Almighty has said: ‘If you do not go forth, He will inflict a painful torment on you and replace you with a people and you will do no harm to Him and God is capable over everything’- (al-Tawba 39).
To the mujahideen muhajireen brothers God has blessed our state with tamkin but the news points to the undertaking of an attack on your city, the city of glory and dignity, at the hands of the Safavid Army and the sectarian Hashd. And we would like to explain to you the methods of withdrawal:
1. The muhajireen brothers of the leadership must return to the land of the Caliphate (the city of Mosul) then to Turkey and spend a period of leave permit there extended to one month while other assignments are received.
2. The fighting brothers of the muhajireen must return to the land of the Caliphate in the city of Mosul and rest in it until the issuing of instructions.

Praise be to God and prayers and peace and salutations be upon the Messenger of God and his family. As for what follows:
As-salam alaykum wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu:
After God blessed you with successive victories against the Rafidites in all the wilayas, you will be supplied with ammonium nitrate that will be received via the state of Qatar.
2. The receipt will be via the supplier of the wilaya in coordination with the general supplier and with speed in order to prolong the operations.
[Comment: there are numerous signs of forgery in these documents. First, the Gregorian dating is marked in an abbreviated form (with 2016 marked as 16) and no indication is given that this is Gregorian dating and no hint is given of the Hijri dating. In addition, by the time these documents were supposed to have been issued, the General Supervisory Committee had become the Delegated Committee. Moreover, the documents contain some familiar tropes of local Iraqi discourse such as the idea that Turkey and Qatar have been supporting the Islamic State].
