The People of Kansafra

Jabhat Fatah al-Sham in Kansafra

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Allah (SWT) says:

“And if two factions among the believers should fight, then make settlement between the two.

But if one of them oppresses the other, then fight against the one that oppresses until it returns to the ordinance of Allah.

And if it returns, then make settlement between them in justice and act justly.

Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.” (

Quran 49:9)

It is sad to watch our brothers the mujahideen from Jund al-Aqsa and Ahrar al-Sham fighting and shedding each other’s blood, which is forbidden.

Based on what Allah has said, and His order to his servants to help other believers who are fighting amongst themselves reach a solution and rule between them with justice, as well as to preserve the blood of our people and our brothers, we, the people of the village of Kansafra in general, and specifically the mujahideen from Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, will not allow anyone, no matter which group they are affiliated with from among our brothers the mujahideen, to attack any of the other mujahideen in the village.

We will also not allow checkpoints or barriers to be set up in the village or on its roads.

These rules apply to everyone, whether they are from the village or outside of it, and we will not allow anyone, no matter who they are affiliated with or where they are going, to enter the village or pass through it.

We hope that anyone who believes that they have been wronged and are in the right will go to the Shariah judiciary to get their rights back, and we have, all praise be to Allah, knowledgeable people who can help us not need to take these actions.

Allah says:

“And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day.

That is the best [way] and best in result.” (

Quran 4:59)

We call upon our brothers in all of the liberated cities and villages to stand between these brothers and to stop them from killing each other.

This is a part of the implementation of Allah’s laws, and stopping the shed of protected blood is a necessary responsibility.

Everyone needs to plan on going back to the Shariah courts to get their rights and address the violations against them.
