“This is my will and my final message. If these words come to you, know that Israel managed to kill me and silence my voice.
“First, may peace be with you and Mercy and Allah’s blessings. Allah knows that I struggled my best and dedicated all my strength to be a support and a voice to my people, as long as I opened my eyes on the alleys and streets of Jabalia’s refugee camp.
“My hope was that I would extend my life so that I could return with my family and loved ones to our original city, Osqalan busy (al-majdal). But Allah’s will came before, and his decree is final.
“I lived the pain in all its details, I experienced suffering and loss many times, but I never hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification – for that Allah can witness against those who remained silent, those who have accepted our killing, those who stifled us and whose hearts remained impassible in the face of the dispersed deadly of our children and women, without doing nothing to prevent the massacre that our people are faced with the massacre more than 1 and a half years.
“I trust Palestine-the Jewel of the Crown of the Muslim World, the heart of each free person in this world. I trust your people, their unjust and innocent children who have never had time to dream or live in security and peace.
“Your pure bodies have been crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn and scattered throughout the walls. I ask you that you do not let the currents silence you, nor that boundaries limit you. Headquarters for the liberation of the earth and their people, until the sun of dignity and freedom is born over our stolen homeland.
“I trust the care of my family. I trust my dear daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I have never had the opportunity to grow as I dreamed. I trust you my dear son Salah, whom I wanted to support and accompany it throughout my life until I strengthened enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.
“I trust my dear mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my way. I pray to God who gives him strength and reward her in my name with the best of the rewards.
“I also trust you my longtime companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), whom the war has separated for many days and months. Even so, she remained true to our bond, firm as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend – patient, confident in God and taking responsibility in my absence with all your strength and faith.
“I ask you to support them, to be their support before the Almighty God. If I die, I will die firm in my principles. Testifying before God that I am satisfied with his decree, right to find him and safe that what is with God is better and eternal.
“O God, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins and make my blood a light that enlightens the path of freedom to my people and family. Forgive me if I failed and pray for myself with mercy, because I fulfilled my promise and never changed it or trea.
“Do not forget Gaza… and do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance. Anas Jamal al-harif 06/04/2025”.
