Below is the will Gaddafi wrote before he was captured and killed by Libya
rebels.Read on:
“This is my will. I, Muammar bin Mohammad bin
Abdussalam bi Humayd bin Abu Manyar bin Humayd bin Nayil al Fuhsi Gaddafi, do
swear that there is no other God but Allah and that Mohammad is God’s Prophet,
peace be upon him. I pledge that I will die as Muslim.
Should I be
killed, I would like to be buried, according to Muslim rituals, in the clothes I
was wearing at the time of my death and my body unwashed, in the cemetery of
Sirte, next to my family and relatives.
I would like that my family,
especially women and children, be treated well after my death. The Libyan people
should protect its identity, achievements, history and the honourable image of
its ancestors and heroes. The Libyan people should not relinquish the sacrifices
of the free and best people.
I call on my supporters to continue the
resistance, and fight any foreign aggressor against Libya, today, tomorrow and
always.
Let the free people of the world know that we could have
bargained over and sold out our cause in return for a personal secure and stable
life. We received many offers to this effect but we chose to be at the vanguard
of the confrontation as a badge of duty and honor.
Even if we do not win
immediately, we will give a lesson to future generations that choosing to
protect the nation is an honor and selling it out is the greatest betrayal that
history will remember forever despite the attempts of the others to tell you
otherwise.”
