These are excellent lectures by brother Anwar Al-Awlaki regarding Jihad Fi Sabilillah...i recommend all of you download these and listen to them insha'Allah
This CD contains the audio recording in mp3 format of a course on the classical book of Jihad titled "Mashari al-Ashwaq ila Masari al-Ushaaq" by Ibn an-Nuhaas who died in the Year 814AH (1411CE). It is an academic study of a classical book of Islamic knowledge which is widely studied in the Muslim World. This book was written almost six hundred years prior to the modern definition of the term "Terrorism" and hence it is not a study of terrorism.

1. About the author
==================
The author's full name was Ahmad Ibrahim Muhammad al-Dimashqi al-Dumyati, commonly known as Ibn an-Nuhaas and he died in the Year 814 Hijri, corresponding to the Year 1411 of the Gregorian calendar.
Al-Sakhawi said about him:
"He was eager to do good, preferred living in obscurity and showed no arrogance or pride due to his knowledge. Whoever would see him would think that he was a commoner – a handsome man, with a beautiful beard, short and medium built. He spent most of his life stationed in Jihad until he died as a martyr."
Ibn al-Imad said about him:
"The Sheikh, Imam, scholar and exemplar."
In 814 Hijri the Romans attacked the people of Teenah in Egypt. The people of Dumyat, led by Ibn an-Nuhaas went to join their brothers in their fight against the invading forces. Ibn an-Nuhaas was killed in the battle, whilst facing the enemy and not fleeing from them, nine months after he completed writing this book.

2. About the book
=================
Sheikh Abdullah Azzam said about this book: "This is the best book on Jihad."
It is considered the most comprehensive study on the subject of Jihad because it was written by an author who practised, lived and experienced what he preached.
Syed Qutb said: "Indeed our words will remain lifeless, until we die in pursuit of those words, then those same words will be brought to life and live amongst the people, inspiring them and bringing their hearts to life."
In April 1992, war broke out in the Balkans. Over the next three years, the world was to see one of the greatest atrocities committed against a people. Through the thick cloud of worldwide speeches, conferences and condemnations, a group of individuals merged whom, until today, little is known.
From the dusty mountains of Afghanistan to the plush Arabian Gulf, they journeyed to the war-torn region of Bosnia – Herzegovina. They were the Mujahideen, the volunteer Islamic fighters. Out of the hundreds that came and went, a few never returned: the Shuhadaa – those killed in the way of Allah.
In the Summer of 1996, Azzam Recordings released the first audio tape of its kind to be produced in English. The name of this tape was: ‘In the Hearts of Green Birds.’ It outlined some of the stories of these men. This tape was so successful, that it spread, by the Will of Allah, throughout many Muslim homes in the UK , North America and Australia . Due to popular demand, in the Summer of 1997, Azzam Recordings produced the sequel to this tape: ‘Under the Shades of Swords.’ We ask Allah to accept the Shuhadaa’ and shower His Mercy upon them. Ameen.
The Messenger of Allah (saw), in one of his expeditions against the enemy, waited till the sun declined and then he got up amongst the people and said: “O People! Do not wish to meet the enemy, but ask Allah for safety, and when you face the enemy, be patient, and know that Paradise is under the shades of swords”. (Saheeh Al-Bukhari, narrated by Saalim Abu-Nadr)
Recorded on location in: London , Madeenah Al-Muawwarah , Chechnya , Qatar and Bosnia .

"Paradise is a beautiful place where Muslims will enter on the Day of Judgement by the will of Allah. However in order to take a seat in Paradise, we must strive very hard in this life.
In this lecture, Bilal Assad narrates inspiring stories, which shakes the heart and causes the eyes to shed tears, of men and women who truly deserved Paradise by remaining firm on their religion despite all the merciless persecution and hardship.
These inspirational stories are from before, after and during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)"
