Last words of Omar Mukhtar

Omar Mukhtar, Emir of the Mujahideen of

Libya, headed jihad against Italian invaders

in the 1920-1930s. He was 70 years old,

when he received a severe wound, and

was taken prisoner by the invaders.

A dialogue in an infidels' court in 1931,

between the "judge" and Omar Mukhtar:

Did you fight against the Italian state?

Omar: Yes

Did you encourage people to fight against

Italy?

Omar: Yes

Are you aware of penalty for what you

did?

Omar: Yes

For how many years did you fight against

Italy?

Omar: For 20 years already

Do you regret of what you have done?

Omar: No

Do you realize that you will be executed?

Omar: Yes

The judge remarked:

“It's a dismal end for a man like you.”

Hearing these words, Omar Mukhtar

replied:

“On the contrary, it is the best way to end

my life!”

The judge then wanted to acquit him and

deport him from the country if he appeals

to Mujahideen in a statement to stop the

Jihad.

Then Omar Mukhtar said his famous

words:

“My forefinger that admits in every prayer

that there is no God but Allah and that

Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah

cannot write a word of falsehood, we do

not surrender, we win or die!”
