land. And then we will say goodbye to our freedom, forget about our pride. Our ancestors, who defended their fatherland from the enemy at the cost of their lives, will not forgive us for this, our descendants will not forgive us for this, and finally, the great Allah will not forgive us for this. Today our goal is Kizlyar. By destroying it, we will break the first link in the black chain of slavery strangling our native Caucasus. This is not just a war, but a Gazavat. Everyone who gives his life in this holy war will be blessed and become a martyr. The battle will not be easy, but we are inspired by the fact that we are fighting for a just cause. This means that the Lord himself is with us. Real men are known on the battlefield. Therefore, do not be afraid of the enemy, do not retreat back! May the Almighty help us drive out the disbelievers from our land!”
635:“The city and fortress of Kizlyar lies nine miles below Borozdinskaya on the left bank of the Terek, where it continues its course, having the Borozda River on its left side. The Terek near Kizlyar is now very shallow; especially in spring and autumn, the flow of water in it is almost imperceptible. Kizlyar stands on a low, clayey and swampy bank, which is not only dirty during snowmelt and rainy weather, but also prone to flooding; that’s why they tried to help with this by building dams, which they diligently monitor during water flows. When the East and South winds blow from the mountains in Kizlyar and throughout the Terek, they cause dryness and cold. Near Kizlyar and beyond, the wet and swampy soil and many standing waters often fill the air with thick and stinking fumes. 900:
invaders. We have lit only the spark from which the fire should flare up. Only by uniting will the peoples of the Caucasus be able to protect their lands. May God help us become brothers and find a common language with everyone who comes to us with goodness and not with war. Remember, everything is in the hands of the Almighty! Believe in him! Pray to him! Give alms to everyone in need! Your wealth will not decrease from this, but will only increase. Be diligent in faith, follow the law, cleanse your souls from filth. Know that everything you have done in this world, good and bad, will be remembered to you on the Day of Judgment.”

the city — apparently, it was the will of the Almighty. And yet our campaign was not in vain. The enemy is stunned by our actions. With the help of Almighty Allah and thanks to you, courageous sons of the mountains, we were able to destroy significant enemy forces and blow up the Karginsky redoubt along with its defenders. I congratulate you on this success. Now our enemies will no longer be able to plunder our villages with impunity. The people woke up, they realized that the fate of the fatherland is in their hands.

After retreating, the Russian command sent the Tomsk infantry to attack the rebels as a show of strength and also to push them away from Kizlyar, but the regiment was forced to retreat with heavy losses, ending the 4 day long Siege of Kizlyar in no deciding victory for either side. 716:. In his letters and proclamations to various mountain peoples, the imam called on them to unanimously stand with him against the common enemy - the Russian troops and the local princes allied with them. These calls found a response among the Kabardians and Dagestanis, who were ready to join the rebels at any time, not to mention the imam's compatriots, the majority of whom went over to his side.

The first few attacks by the highlanders were repelled, after which they started several big fires, eventually reaching the powder magazine, as a result of which the entire redoubt, together with its defenders, blew up.

We have to constantly defend ourselves. The enemies destroy our homes, burn crops, kill the elderly, women and children. They build fortresses on our land, cut down our forests to make it easier for them to attack us, raise pigs, not caring about our laws and customs. They want to drive us into the mountains so that we will die of hunger.
