Soleimani’s Journey of Resistance Narrated by a Hezbollah Commander

Al-Ahed News The night was coming to an end when the curtains were brought down on his last journeys of Resistance in Syria. The final scene was at Imam Hussein’s Iraq, the way Hajj Qassem wanted it to be and always asked for in his prayers. It was loud. It happened on the battlefield of jihad alongside his comrades in arm and peace, the people he loved. And for the story in his prayers to be completed, the villain was the most wretched of villains. Cowardice was the credibility of their claim. They were not able to get him except by assassination.

Hajj Sadiq: era l’esempio più chiaro di leadership nell’Islam

He spent twenty years and more working for the Palestinian cause. He knew the mission and the goal when he was appointed the commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps in 1998. Everyone who knew him well acknowledges that he was a man who was tireless and uncompromising in his pursuit. He, too, was one of those who believed in the certainty of achieving the goals set on the path of the divine promise. He had many traits. Others surrender to his attractive but simple characteristics. The region’s recent events and developments were the gateway to this “jihadi by nature”. From Palestine, to Lebanon, to Syria and Iraq and farther away, the martyred lieutenant general went on a jihad streak helping the oppressed against the oppressor and the weak against the arrogant.

But how was he present, how did he fight, lead battles, negotiate, raise morale and bring together the alliances and the axis? How was he killed? And what comes after him? To answer all these questions, Al-Ahed news website conducted an exclusive interview with Hajj Sadiq, a field commander in the Islamic Resistance who accompanied martyr Qassem Soleimani on his jihadi rounds. Hajj Sadiq begins talking about Soleimani, “In the name of Allah, He who Smites the Necks of the Cruel (qasim al-jabarin). It is impossible to summarize this leader’s career or his jihad.” Calmly and with great accuracy, Hajj Sadiq reveals to us some of Hajj Qassem’s qualities.

“Work wise, he was the clearest and most recent example of the concept of leadership in Islam. Because I know him and have accompanied him, I believe that theories of leadership, management as well as military and field control need to be reviewed looking back at this person’s role, impact and behavior.” The Islamic Resistance field commander adds, “Through his positions and words, he – Hajj Qassem – expressed the concept of the Imamate in Islam whereby the minds are attracted to him without will or effort.”

What jihad legacy did he leave behind?

“It is enough that he was practically the one who created what is now called the axis of resistance. He was at the forefront of establishing it after it was just a mere idea spoken about behind the scenes,” Hajj Sadiq replies quickly. “Martyr Soleimani was able to translate this idea into practice, accurately and with unimaginable craftsmanship.” He adds, “In his jihadist thought, he wanted to go beyond the idea of the axis. And those who know the literature of the Islamic Revolution, know who Soleimani was, what he gave, and what he left behind.”

Soleimani was a supporter of the resistance in Lebanon

Hajj Sadiq, one of the people who knew martyr Soleimani, repeats that talking about him is not for the sake of writing about Soleimani’s personality after his martyrdom. Rather, to reveal possible aspects of “this leader, whose services for the Islamic causes were not confined to a place or time. On the contrary, his military, administrative and diplomatic vision, activities and movements tightly linked the organizations and countries of the [resistance] axis together.” Hajj Sadiq does not hide Soleimani’s great, influential and pivotal role in confronting the Zionist and American projects in our region. “Soleimani was a supporter of the resistance in Lebanon. He was present alongside the resistance during the July 2006 war. He was also in Iraq from the start of Daesh’s invasion until the announcement of their end as a danger to the state and the people. He was also in Syria. He was not only a military leader but also a clever diplomat and administrator.”

How Soleimani saw us and how we saw him

Hajj Sadiq talks more about the military commander who was close to the arenas of jihadi and mujahideen, saying “He was keen on the subject of advice. It was one of his well-known practices, and it was not a formal behavior. Rather, it was realistic and practical. He practiced it with conviction as well as action. He was always on the fields and at the forefront. He always sought to involve field leaders in decision-making. He always reminded us that our weapon, which is directed at our most powerful enemy, is our morale.”

Hajj Sadiq stresses, “Hajj Qassem’s physical presence cannot be compensated. However, the model of a moral jihadist and leadership school that he established will make up for his absence. This will be reflected in the price his murderers will pay as they will be expelled from the whole region.” The martyred commander’s companion tries to convey to us the image of the relationship that Soleimani was most keen to weave with the mujahideen.

“Si preoccupava dei più accurati dettagli quotidiani e di combattimento dei mujaheddin, inclusi i posti letto, il sostentamento, le condizioni psicologiche e spirituali, la comunicazione con le loro famiglie e tutto ciò che poteva farli sentire al sicuro e appartenere a questa sacra stirpe jihadista. Si preoccupava persino delle condizioni dei comuni cittadini che sostengono le organizzazioni che ci stavano combattendo e si assicuravano di non danneggiarli”.

Taking just retribution on the killers of the mujahideen will be the responsibility of all the resistance fighters

“Ucciderlo in questo modo, durante questo periodo, con i suoi compagni, è un momento cruciale nella lotta con il nostro nemico. Soleimani è riuscito a rompere il prestigio e il potere del gigante americano nella regione. Ci ha spianato la strada per liberarcene. Ci ha mostrato il modo più breve per espellerlo umiliato. Era, senza dubbio, il più grande chiodo nella bara degli americani nella nostra regione. E i prossimi giorni ne daranno testimonianza, “Hajj Sadiq conclude il suo discorso sul leader martire Soleimani.” Sono felice per lui per aver raggiunto questo grande martirio e questa fine. Noi, che siamo rimasti dopo di lui, continueremo il suo cammino e lavoreremo per raggiungere i suoi obiettivi e portare il suo stendardo in tutte le arene. Prendere la giusta punizione per gli assassini dei mujaheddin sarà la responsabilità di tutti i combattenti della resistenza”.
