[00:13:09] us must, as one body and one being,
[00:13:13] stand against the enemies of Afghanistan and against
[00:13:16] the enemies of Islam. They sacrificed their lives
[00:13:19] in the way of Allah, the Exalted. Thousands
[00:13:23] of martyrs who
[00:13:42] the jihad of the people of Afghanistan against the invaders did not achieve
[00:13:45] its goal after independence, but today, the Islamic
[00:13:48] Emirate has reached the same goal for which
[00:13:51] it sacrificed. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
[00:13:55] has achieved what it sacrificed for every day. From the ordinary soldier
[00:13:59] to the respected Sheikh,
[00:14:02] all scholars, all righteous people, all

[00:16:13] that the people of Afghanistan, after years of war and occupation,
[00:16:16] must now strive for the development and progress

[00:16:23] the people, the noble nation of Afghanistan, the
[00:16:26] Mujahideen, the officials of Afghanistan,
[00:16:29] just as the conquest of Mecca

[00:16:46] that He has bestowed upon us.
[00:16:50] With thousands of martyrs that we have given in the way of our

[00:17:00] of Afghanistan, an Islamic system
[00:17:04] should rule, and praise be to Allah,
[00:17:08] an Islamic system is ruling in the land of Afghanistan.

[00:17:25] the protection of Islamic and national values.
[00:17:29] Our Afghanistan, 40
[00:17:32] NATO countries and allies of America came. What
[00:17:36] was their decision?
[00:17:38] Their decision was to eliminate our scholars.
[00:17:41] They decided
[00:17:45] to plunder the honor of our homeland, our mines,
[00:17:48] and our resources. They
[00:17:52] wanted to trample upon the independence and identity
[00:17:54] that defeated the Soviet Empire. They
[00:17:58] had this goal. They wanted
[00:18:01] to turn our honor into humiliation. During
[00:18:04] 20 years of love,
[00:18:08] America and its allies in Afghanistan,
[00:18:11] with all their might and all
[00:18:14] their power, imposed such
[00:18:18] economic pressure, cultural pressure,
[00:18:21] pressure of godlessness and irreligion
[00:18:23] that this nation
[00:18:27] rose up against it. The mujahideen
[00:18:31] of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
[00:18:34] were able to achieve this day.

[00:23:20] problems from arising. These mujahideen emphasized that after

[00:23:34] of activities of service institutions. They also
