Mohamed Atta Quotations

Looking back at it, it was a little strange that all they wanted to do was turns. Most people want to do takeoffs and landings.

We do not believe that such a meeting occurred.

We visited each other, talked like normal friends.

Even if such an incident had taken place, it doesn't mean anything. Any diplomat in any mission might meet people in a restaurant here or there and talk to them, which is meaningless. If that person turned out to be something else, that doesn't mean he had a connection with what that person did later.

it would be a very serious breach not to have that information passed along.

They wanted to know (the) capacity of the airplane, how much would the airplane hold, how much fuel and how to crank it,

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 Quran.

I pray to you God to forgive me from all my sins, to allow me to glorify you in every possible way.

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. Oh God, you who open all doors, please open all doors for me, open all venues for me, open all avenues for me. God, I trust in you. God, I lay myself in your hands.... There is no God but God, I being a sinner. We are of God, and to God we return.

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.

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.

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.

Make sure that nobody is following you.

When the confrontation begins, strike like champions who do not want to go back to this world. Shout, "Allahu Akbar," because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers.

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.

We have some planes. Just stay quiet and you will be okay. We are returning to the airport. Nobody move, everything will be okay. If you try to make any moves you'll endanger yourself and the airplane.
