Below is the English transcript of the message:

Epistle by your servant,
Assalam-u-Alaikum, Peace be upon you,
May Allah bless the "people of Kashmir". Give them the strength, strength and dominance. Give them victory, protection and independence. And the mujahideen ... with their stormy attacks ... have approached near to their destination. Due to the fear, the ant grew wings and the jackal is on its way to the city. The Modi government has admitted his humiliation and defeat by revoking the the special status of Kashmir .. and he has threw an ax on his foot… One chapter of Ghazwa-e-Hind and of Jihad Kashmir has been completed. Alhumdulillah the Mujahideen of Kashmir got victory in Kashmir. Now the next chapter begins. .. Vast, sublime and victorious .. it just needs some air, Kashmiris need to get out [of their homes]... Then the enemy will beg for peace and negotiation. Modi, the pet bully of the rich polytheists, thinks that if the special status of Kashmir is over, Hindu capitalists like "Ambani", "Mittal" and “Jindal” will buy whole Kashmir...and then they will earn money through tourism and forbidden acts, while Kashmiri Muslims will lose their existence.…Modi !! This is a dream..that will never be fulfilled..look a little towards your West..red can be seen, the red…
Allah-u-Akbar!
Wasalam..
Servant ..
Allah is the Messenger of Allah [Islamic Shahada]
