When The Life Of Muslim Is Cheaper Than Life Of Other People
17 January 2011By Al-Ikhwah Al-Mujahidun
Allah SWT says: "And do not say about those who
are killed in the way of Allah , "They are dead."
Rather, they are alive, but you perceive [it] not."
(QS. 2 : 154).
In this verse, Allah SWT clarifies the condition of
the Mujahids who are slain in the way of Allah, they
are not dead but alive, blessed with His grace and
favor. As in another verse Allah SWT says: "And
whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger - those will be
with the ones upon whom Allah has bestowed favor of
the prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth (siddiiqeen),
the martyrs (shuhada )and the righteous (soliheen).
And excellent are those as companions." (QS. 4 :
69).
This means there is no doubt that they live in a realm
that we do not know where. In what sphere? Can it be
perceived by the sensory organs? etc. But we can see
the silver lining, namely when the topmost practice of
religion (dienul Islam) is performed, then
the promise of Allah contained in the Qur'an and
Hadith is a reality. Not only that, they are even
assembled in a state of happiness, tranquility,
peacefulness, full of enjoyments, together with the
Prophets, Sidiqqeen and the righteous people.
There are some features made visible by Allah SWT to
the humans so that they are convinced of the truth of
the shaheed (martyrdom). Amongst the features
are:
1. The janaza of the shaheed
normally remains intact and does not rot like the
janaza of ordinary people.
2. The fragrant scent of heaven that is nothing like
it in this world emanates from their bodies.
3. Their departure creates a sweetness and memory for
the families, relatives and the Islamic ummah.
4. Their faces are beaming though the bodies are
damaged etc.
5. Emitting the light of iman that that
creates the sense of emotion, happiness and
fascination for those who look at the janaza.
6. Signs of shaheed shown through natural
phenomena of elements, creatures, etc.
These are just a part of features, there are still
many other signs of shaheed shown to us by
Allah SWT. An Ikhwan in fact had witnessed,
when in the process of laying to rest the janaza
of a Mujahid in Moro, Philippines, bright light which
was suddenly emitted from the grave pit, rising to the
sky above that made the dark and cloudy ambiance of
the night turned to become like the morning day, an
extremely beautiful sight indeed. Then we heard from
an ikhwan that during the burial of Ash-Shaheed
Dr. Azahari, some family members and friends sighted
the script of the kalimah of shahadah:
"Laa Illaha Illallah Muhammadarasulullah"
(in Arabic) formed by a group of ants. Even here not
long ago, we were witnessing how the phenomena of
nature and fauna (in the form of
green birds)
which occurred at the funeral of the Bali Bombing
Trio: Amrozi, Mukhlas and Imam Samudra, though they
had been shaheed but they still gave a big
contribution to the families, friends and the Islamic
ummah. No matter how much the kafir
and munafiq hate and impede to damage the
image of the Mujahids by employing a variety of ways,
yet the makar (plot) of Allah SWT can never
be defeated.
So it is appropriate that Allah SWT stated in the
Qur'an in surah: As-Saaff: 10-11 which means:
"O you who have believed, shall I guide you to a
transaction that will save you from a painful
punishment? [It is that] you believe in Allah and His
Messenger and strive (conduct jihad) in the cause of
Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is best
for you, if you should know."
This is the path that should be applied now!! Not the
way of the thaghut that is assumed to be the
same i.e. in order to establish the Shari'a
of Allah SWT. Whereas, Allah SWT is not pleased with
that way of the thaghut. "Liyuhiqqal
Haqqa Yayubtilal Batiila!!" As long as we are
still intermixing the haq with the batil
or we are still sitting together with the kafir
and munafiq, it is also that long that we
will be spun around like the people of Prophet Musa AS
when they were ordered to enter the city of Palestine
and they refused because they were afraid, whereas
Allah SWT had already showed them the way.....
"O my people, enter the Holy Land (PALESTINE)
which Allah has assigned to you and do not turn back
[from fighting in Allah 's cause] and [thus] become
losers. They said, 'O Moses, indeed
within it is a people of tyrannical strength, and
indeed, we will never enter it until they leave it;
but if they leave it, then we will enter.'
Said two men from those who feared [to disobey] upon
whom Allah had bestowed favor, 'Enter
upon them through the gate, for when you have entered
it, you will be predominant. And upon Allah rely, if
you should be believers' They said,
'O Moses, indeed we will not enter it,
ever, as long as they are within it; so go, you and
your Lord, and fight. Indeed, we are remaining right
here.' [Moses] said,
'My Lord, indeed I do not possess except myself and my
brother, so part us from the defiantly disobedient
people.' [ Allah ] said,
'Then indeed, it is forbidden to them for
forty years [in which] they will wander throughout the
land. So do not grieve over the defiantly disobedient
people.'" (QS : Al-Maidah :
21-26)
Such was a piece of hope especially for us, so
that it may become a much deeper looking for the
Ikhwans who are still consistent in the path of
Jihad fie Sabilillah, may Allah unite us with
the Prophets, Mujahids, Siddiiqeen and
Soliheen. Ameen.
