From a guidebook found in the wreckage in Pennsylvania
and two rental cars linked to the hijackers. Each paragraph is an individual
excert of the manual. They are not necessarily compiled in order.
"In the name of God, the most merciful, the most compassionate.
. . . In the name of God, of myself and of my family . . . I pray to you
God to forgive me from all my sins, to allow me to glorify you in every
possible way."
"Remember the battle of the prophet . . . against
the infidels, as he went on building the Islamic state."
In upper right hand corner of Page 3: "The last night."
"Remind yourself that in this night you will face
many challenges. But you have to face them and understand it 100 percent."
"Obey God, his messenger, and don't fight among yourself
where you become weak, and stand fast, God will stand with those who stood
fast."
"You should engage in such things, you should pray,
you should fast. You should ask God for guidance, you should ask God for
help. . . . Continue to pray throughout this night. Continue to recite
the Koran."
"Purify your heart and clean it from all earthly
matters. The time of fun and waste has gone. The time of judgment has
arrived. Hence we need to utilize those few hours to ask God for forgiveness.
You have to be convinced that those few hours that are left you in your
life are very few. From there you will begin to live the happy life, the
infinite paradise. Be optimistic. The prophet was always optimistic."
"Always remember the verses that you would wish for
death before you meet it if you only know what the reward after death
will be."
"Everybody hates death, fears death. But only those,
the believers who know the life after death and the reward after death,
would be the ones who will be seeking death."
"Remember the verse that if God supports you, no
one will be able to defeat you."
"Keep a very open mind, keep a very open heart of
what you are to face. You will be entering paradise. You will be entering
the happiest life, everlasting life. Keep in your mind that if you are
plagued with a problem and how to get out of it. A believer is always
plagued with problems. . . . You will never enter paradise if you have
not had a major problem. But only those who stood fast through it are
the ones who will overcome it."
"Check all of your items – your bag, your clothes,
knives, your will, your IDs, your passport, all your papers. Check your
safety before you leave. . . . Make sure that nobody is following you.
. . . Make sure that you are clean, your clothes are clean, including
your shoes."
"In the morning, try to pray the morning prayer with
an open heart. Don't leave but when you have washed for the prayer. Continue
to pray."
"When you enter the plane: "Oh
God, open all doors for me. Oh God who answers prayers and answers those
who ask you, I am asking you for your help. I am asking you for forgiveness.
I am asking you to lighten my way. I am asking you to lift the burden
I feel."
"God, I trust in you. God, I lay myself in your hands.
I ask with the light of your faith that has lit the whole world and lightened
all darkness on this earth, to guide me until you approve of me. And once
you do, that's my ultimate goal."
"There is no God but God. There is no God who is
the God of the highest throne, there is no God but God, the God of all
earth and skies. There is no God but God, I being a sinner. We are of
God, and to God we return."
