As-salam alaykum wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu

I ask God for this letter of mine to reach you while you are in the best state of health and wellness, and that He should make you among those who serve His religion, and that He should make Islam and Muslims benefit through you.

Note the letter of the General Supervisory Committee no. 81 on date 7 Dhu al-Q’ida 1436 AH, which contains the following: “…As the basis on which one has joined the ranks of the Islamic State is jihad in God’s path and fighting the disbelievers and apostates in order to make supreme the word of God and obey His commands, the principle among them [those who have joined] is that they should obey when commanded, mobilise when ordered to do so, and heed when called. If those ranks have been not safe from the recruitment of some of the hypocrites and people who cause others to abandon and people who spread false rumours (and God is the One whose help is to be sought), and the impact they have on the unity of rank and its steadfastness, then it is decided to expel from the ranks of the Islamic State- by the permission of God Almighty- those whose refusal to answer orders for mobilisation without a Shari’i excuse is established, and all the measures taken against those who have been expelled will apply to them. And God is the Self-Sufficient and One Worthy of Praise…”

Therefore we hope you will inform all those under your stead of this directive so that no one has an argument against us after this letter.

May God reward you best.

Reminder on need for personnel to contract marriages in Islamic courts

Islamic State
Wilayat Halab

No. 966
Date: 13 Dhu al-Q’ida 1436 AH corresponding to 28 August 2015 CE

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

The brothers/from the soldiers of the Islamic State in Wilayat Halab (may God protect them)

As-salam alaykum wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu

I ask God for this letter of mine to reach you while you are in the best state of health and wellness, and that He should make you among those who serve His religion, and that He should make Islam and Muslims benefit through you.

Taking note of letter 81 of the General Supervisory Committee dated 7 Dhu al-Q’ida 1436 AH that contains the following: “..The impact that the writing and notarisation of contracts has on stability of transactions in the Muslim society is no secret. Thus these contract and their notarisation- regardless of whether they are small or big- have been encouraged and emphasised. If this is the case for notarisation for the rest of the contracts, then notarisation of marriage contracts, which are the thick covenant through which the private parts become permissible, is of greater importance and emphasis than other contracts, especially if there is fear of loss of rights with lack of registration because of the large numbers of mujahideen brother who have been killed, which may lead to the loss of rights of their wives whose marriage contracts have not been notarised in the Islamic courts. This matter is confirmed in the case of the muhajirin among them. In order to prevent the possible consequences of lack of notarisation of contracts in terms of loss of rights of the wife, we direct for all the mujahidin brothers to be obliged to hurry to register marriage contracts in the Shari’i courts, and the one who refrains from doing will expose himself to accountability. This is so in addition to conducting the necessary tests before marriage to avoid transmission of contagious diseases and other diseases, in order to protect and maintain the Muslim society…”

So we hope you will review and implement this directive issued by the General Supervisory Committee.

May God reward you best.

I ask God that this letter of mine should reach you while you are in the best health and wellness, and that He should make you among those who serve His religion, and that He should make Islam and Muslims benefit through you.

We draw your attention to document no. 86 of the General Supervisory Committee dated 20 Dhu al-Qa’da 1436 AH, which contains the following: “…In order to control instances of moving about between the differentwilayas, sectors, diwans and commissions, it has been decided- by the permission of God Almighty- to oblige all the sectors of the Dawla- including wilayas, diwans, commissions, offices and other sectors- not to accept any individual of the brothers who desire to transfer to that authority or sector except by requirement of an official document that has been authenticated and authorised. Otherwise, the authority that accepts will be subject to accountability…”

Therefore we ask you to review and implement the content of this directive issued by the General Supervisory Committee.

Forgery: Alleged Circulars from the General Supervisory Committee

[Document on right]:

Islamic State
Caliphate on the Prophetic Methodology
General Supervisory Committee

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.

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].
