FBI investigators, who found the writings in Atta's luggage, which did not make it onto his flight, are not sure of the author's identity -- whether it was Atta, another hijacker or someone else.

The document is a cross between a chilling spiritual exhortation aimed at the hijackers and an operational mission checklist. With the hijackers all dead, the pages may turn out to provide the most vivid and penetrating glimpse into their mental states and final hours before they embarked on the deadliest act of terrorism in U.S. history.

PAGE ONE

One of the companions said "the prophet has commanded us to recite it before engaging in a raid. So we recited it so we became victorious and we were saved.

The Last Night

1. To give allegiance or agree on going forth to death and the renewal of the intention.

2. Knowing the plan very well. All the directions and expectation of the outcome of the action or the resistance from the enemy. To shave the excess hair from the body and to put perfume.

3. The recitation of chapter of Altawba (repentence) and Alnfal. To reflect upon their meanings and that which God had prepared to the believers from the everlasting bounty that are designated for the martyrs.

4. Reminding the self of listening and obeying particularly during that night because you are going to face a serious situation where it is very necessary for listening and obeying 100 percent. Train yourself and make it understand and be content and encourage it on that.(listening and obeying)

5. Praying during the late night and insisting in supplication and asking for victory and gaining control and a clear conquest and making all things easy for us and conceal our activities.

6. Much remembrance and know that the best of remembrance is the recitation of the nobel Koran and this is in accordance with the consensus of the people of knowledge from that which I know and this is sufficient for us that it is the speech of the creator of the heavens and earth the one which you are going to meet him.

7. Clear your heart and purify it from the impurities and make yourself forget a thing named world. For the time of play has passed. And the time of truth has come. And how much of our lives we have wasted so shouldn't we invest these hours to offer offerings of closeness and obedience.

8. Let your breast be at ease between you and your marriage except a few light moments. In it you will start your happy content life with the everlasting bounty with the prophets and the confirmers of prophets the martyrs and the righteous and those are the best of companions.

We seek forgiveness from his bounty. And be optimistic for peace be upon him ("meaning the prophet used to like optimism in all the matters.'')

9. Then let it be in front of your eyes that if a tribulation had befallen you how .'.'. you stand firm and you recall and you know "that which inflicted you would not have missed you. And that which had missed you would not have inflicted you or hit you.''

Verily this tribulation upon you is from God the exalted in order to raise your station and to expiate your sins. Then know that it is few moments then things will become clear by the permission of Allah.

10. (Lengthy Koran scripture).

11. (Lengthy Koran scripture).

12. To prepare yourself, your luggage, your clothing, your knife, your tools, your identity cards, your passport.

13. Prepare or examine your weapon before traveling and before travel (which means before death). Let each one sharpen his razor .'.'. his slaughter.

14. Tighten your clothes on you very well and this is the path or the example of the early righteous community. May Allah be pleased with all of them for they used to tighten their clothing on themselves very well before the battle. Then tighten your shoes very well and wear a sock that is firmly holding onto the shoe and do not come out from it.

And all of these are causes we are commanded to take by it and Allah is sufficient for us and he is the best whom to depend upon.

15. Pray the morning prayer in a group. Reflect upon its reward. Come with the regular supplications after it and do not leave your apartment except with ablution.

The Second Stage

If the taxi transports you to the airport .'.'. remember to do much remembrance, the remembrance of the place .'.'.

Once you arrive to the airport and you can see it and get out of taxi do another supplication of the place.

Smile and be calm and content. Another supplication.

The benefits of these supplications are:

1. They are transformed with bounty of Allah and his generosity

2. No harm will be falling them

3. They are following the contentment of Allah. "To authenticate his analysis'' - a quote from Koran.

Lots of Koranic verses and statements of the Prophet follows.

Do not fear the enemy. Do not fear them rather fear me verily if you are believers. Fear is a grave statement and those who are friends of Allah and believers do not fear except Allah the one, the only, who in his hand is all things.

Do not make apparent on you the appearance of confusion and tightness of nerves and be happy smiling with your chest expanding and content because you are doing an act that Allah loves and is content with. Because there will be a day by the permission of Allah that you will spend it with pure women in paradise.

Smile in the face of adversity all young men for you are going forth to the everlasting paradise.

Any place that you go to or any action that you undertake maintain supplication and turning to Allah and verily god is with his servants the believers providing them protection and ease and success and victory and all things.

Third Stage - When you Ride the Plane

When you put your foot in it that you begin with supplication and bring awareness to yourself that this is a raid in the path of Allah. As the prophets of Allah going forth to a battle or coming forth from it in the path of Allah is better than the world and all what it contains.

When you put your foot in the plane and you sit in your chair, then bring forth the supplications that we mentioned and the ones that are known which we have already stated earlier. Then keep busy with the remembrance of God and do much of what Allah the exalted said. "Oh you who believe if you come upon a group then stand firm and remember Allah much that you may be successful.''

Then if the plane moves slightly in the direction to take off then recite the supplication for the traveler for verily you are traveling to God the exalted. (and be joyful with this travel)

Then you will see the plane after it stops then it will take off. This is the hour of the meeting of the characteristics. Then do remembrance of Allah as Allah had mentioned in his book "Oh Allah, pour upon us patience and make firm our feats and make us victorious upon the people of unbelief.''

"Oh Our Lord forgive to us our sins and our wastefulness in all our matters and make firm our feet and make us victorious upon the people of unbelief.''

Do supplication for yourself and to all your brothers that they will be able to conquer and be victorious and in hitting the targets .'.'. do not be fearful.

Ask of Allah to reward you with martyrdom coming forth and not turning away patient and aware of the accounting that you'll face with God.

Then let each one of you get prepared to undertake or to perform his role in a way that Allah is content with. Let him tighten his teeth as the early community used to do, may Allah be merciful upon them before engaging in the battle.

When the engagement begins then the hitting of heroes the ones that do not want to go back to this world and say God is Great!, for saying this makes fear enter the hearts of the unbelievers.

Know that the paradises have been ornamented for you with the most beautiful of its ornaments and the women of paradise are calling upon you to come forth oh you friend of Allah and she has worn the best of it's ornaments.

Don't differ from one another.

PAGE FOUR

Put the benefit of the group above the self. Do not seek revenge for yourself, rather make everything for your group and everything is to Allah the exalted.

.'.'. writer narrates a story of one of the Prophets battles where he was about to kill an enemy he had just beaten up, with a sword and the person spit in his face. When he spit, he left, and responded, "First I was fighting you in path of Allah and when you spit my self got angry and I feared I would be fighting you to seek retribution for myself and that's why I stopped.''

When the hour of zero comes, breathe deeply and open your chest welcoming death in the way of Allah. Always remember that you end your life with prayer and that you begin with it before the target and let the last part of your speech be, "There is No God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.''

And after it, if God is willing, the meeting in the high paradise.

.'.'. writer reminds them the battle of the confederates had 10,000 soldiers and God gave victory to his servants the believers.

"When the believers saw the confederates they said this is what God promised us. Allah and his messenger are truthful. This has increased their belief and surrendering to Allah.''
