ABU HAMMAM AN-NAJDI

Go Back

Abu Hammam An-Najdi. Saudi Arabia. Commander of the 'Lion's Den' Front-Line Base Camp. Killed during an ambush by the Croatian Military during peace-time whilst he was travelling with three other commanders from the Mujahideen Headquarters, Zenica, to the Lion's Den Camp, Zavidovic. Zepce, 14 December 1995. Aged 24. 1st Hand Account. Present on Under the Shades of Swords audio cassette. Photograph of him moments after he was martyred available at the end of this page.

A university graduate from Saudi Arabia, educated and a good speaker of the English language, he entered Bosnia in the summer of 1994 together with Abu Ziyaad An-Najdi (RA). His good dealings with all the brothers and his way of making every brother seem special and important, gained him a lot of respect amongst all the Mujahideen and soon he was appointed the Commander of the Front-Line Base Camp.

He worked very hard in the service of the brothers, trying his best to arrange the affairs of the Base to make things as easy for the brothers as he could. When someone saw him, they would not see a commander or an ameer, but rather they would see a friendly individual to whom they could go up to with their day-to-day problems and discuss them like friends. He was much loved for this unique quality of his. He was the commander who ordered a search party to go and look for Abu Mujahid Al-Brittani, the brother who was killed in Operation Badr of Bosnia.

On the 14 December 1995, he was one of the five brothers who were ambushed by the Croats in Zepce. He was killed instantly by point-blank machine-gun shots to the head, to be martyred and join his four brothers who were killed with him. Abu Hammam and his friend, Abu Ziyaad, entered the land of Bosnia together, they left it together and we ask Allah (SWT) that they remain together in the Gardens of Eternity in the company of their Lord Most High.
