Incident Appendix

Our bright young brother, the intelligent student Yusuf al-Qahwaji al-Ghazawi, has ascended to martyrdom, joining his father and brothers, may God gather them in His highest Paradise. His last message to me was on Friday night, congratulating me on the birth of my son Muhammad, and his passing on Saturday afternoon, the 3rd of Dhu al-Qi'dah. Today, I congratulate him on his arrival to God as a hero, may God be pleased with him and grant him His favor. To God we belong and to Him we shall return. If you remain, you will grieve for all your loved ones. But the survival of your own life, may you have no father, is the greatest grief.
