[Ar-Rijal Al-Amlaq] The Giant Man

Controversially this is the only known detailed biography of Mullah Omar in English. Little is known about the Taliban leader. “For history to be written and the Muslims bear witness for us that we were killed for the sake of Allāh, on our Islāmic fundamentals and everlasting beliefs, is better for us with Allāh, than history being written and the Muslims bearing witness against us, that we lived in health and blessing after we have changed our fundamentals and sacrificed the Banner of Jihād, and whoever thought that the Islāmic country will be blessed with dominance without trials and tests, then he is an ignorant one who does not know the biography of the Prophet, (PBUH).” “Amīr Al-Mu’minīn, Mullah Muhammad ‘Umar Mujāhid”.

Since the beginning of the events, I have been thinking of writing a journal on this unique man, but the many disasters and scarcity of sources, it did not happen. The discussion about this man is a discussion of sorrows, as the sound individuals are delighted to hear the biographies of great men that change the course of history with their stances and their actions.
We spoke about “The Lion of Islām, Abū Abdillāh Usāmah Ibn Muhammad Ibn ‘Awadh Ibn Lādin”, may Allāh preserve him. And we spoke about “The Lion of Khurāsān, Al- Mawlawī Jalāluddīn Haqqānī”, may Allāh preserve him. And we spoke about the “Shaykh of the Mujāhidīn and Reviver (Mujaddad) of the Fiqh of Jihād in the Religion, ‘Abdullāh ‘Azzām”, may Allāh have mercy on him and accept him amongst the martyrs. And we spoke about “The Sword of Islām Khattāb”, may Allāh have mercy on him and accept him amongst the martyrs. And today we have a meeting with a peak from the high peaks, which is similar in height to the mountains of Bāmīr, Sulaymān and Shāhiq, of the Hindikūsh. This man who wrote verses of forgotten honour for the Ummah, and extinct determination. So indeed, he is a school for the generations to learn the meaning of the Aqīdah of Allegiance and Disavowal (Al-Walā’ Wal-Barā’) from his honorable stances, and love for Allāh and hate for Allāh, and to study in his university, the meanings of the Eminence and Superiority of Faith (Īmān) which are is become clear in persisting upon the fundamentals and being proud of the Religion. I don’t know were to begin, as the many continuous events in the life of this man are more tan can be covered in a small amount of pages… And I wouldn’t know how to start, as the lines are similar and intertwined in a complicated way, so it is difficult to dismantle and edit them in order to look at them.
After looking into it for a long time, I thought I should write about the historical, social and Aqīdah background of the man, using his identification card, and from there will go back to him in an attempt to understand his personality and analyze his actions based on this background and based on his many stances and his rare few words.

FAMILY BACKGROUND AND BIRTH

Ameer-ul-Mumineen Mulla Muhammad Umar Mujahid belongs to a respected family of religious scholars. His family is renown for the religious services offered by it for centuries. His full name is Muhammad Umar Mujahid bin Maulwi Ghulam Nabi Akhwand bin Mulla Muhammad Rasool Akhwand bin Mulla Muhammad Ayaz Akhwand. He belongs to a well-known branch of the Hootak tribe, which has been living in Kandahar for about a hundred years. Mulla Muhammad Omar was born in 1960 in the 'Noori' village in Kandahar Province. Kandahar used to be the capital of the Indo-Subcontinent when it was justly ruled by the great Afghan Mujahid conqueror, Ahmad Shah Abdali. Mulla Umar's father, Maulwai Ghulam Nabi, was a religious scholar and the Imam at a mosque in Noori. His predecessors lived in the province of Zabul, in the districts of Shakay and Beirut, where, even today, a water stream is remembered by the name of one of Mulla Umar's respected elders. Mulla Umar's family has produced religious scholars in every generation, who have rendered countless services to Islam for centuries. His family is well known to have a great fervour for Islam. Almost all of his predecessors have been religious scholars, rendering religious services in the southern provinces of Kandahar, Zabul and Uruzgan. The people of Afghanistan have consulted his elders for centuries, seeking guidance on religious, economical and social issues.

GETTING INJURED FOR THE THIRD TIME

It was during the period when he was fighting the Russians in the area of Sangsar, that he was badly injured for the third time, in an intense encounter with the Soviets. This time he sacrificed his right eye in the Way of Allah (SWT). His companions said that he was taken to a hospital in Quetta, Pakistan, due to the severity of his injury. After surgery, he was advised by the doctors to make Tayammum (ablution without water) instead of making Wudu (ablution with water) since water could have aggravated his wounds. Against the doctors' advice, he always used water for ablution and never prayed without proper Wudu. He used to say: "It is not possible for me to stop making Wudu for such minor wounds."

CONCLUDING GLIMPSE OF HIS CHARACTER

Once a delegation of guest came to visit Mulla Umar. Fresh bread, cream, tea and other delicacies were brought for the guests and they all began to eat heartily. All except Mulla Umar that is. He refused to touch the cream or the bread. His guests ushered him to eat with them but he refused. His advisors also urged him to eat with the guests, indicating that there was nothing wrong with him eating this food since it had not been brought especially for him; it was brought for the guests and he was the host. He still refused. A few moments later, a worker brought in a bowl of plain soup together with some hard, stale bread. Mulla Umar proceeded to break the hard bread with his hands and eat it with the soup. Upon being asked the reasons for his refusal to eat the cream, Mulla Umar said: "When the lowest person in my country eats this food, then I will eat it."
