My sins are many, and good deeds little. Jihad is my door to Jannah, and Martyrdom is its key .....

 

Nothing in life is easy except that Allah has made it easy, and no doubt Allah
can make the difficult easy if Allah wishes....
 

O Muslims! Do not be delusional and think that your voluntary Ibadah (worship)
is comparable and can somehow compensate and absolve you from Jihad. By
Allah! Can the blood of a Mujahid be comparable to the tears of one in
Tahajjud? Never! While you wake each morning expecting to taste breakfast, a
Mujahid wakes hoping to taste Martyrdom.

 

How true were the words of Abdullah Ibn Mubarak in his letter to Al-Fudayl Ibn Iyaadh in which he said:

"Oh you who offer prayer in the sacred mosque!
Had you witnessed us in the battlefield
you would know that, compared to our Jihad,
your worship is child's play.
For every tear you have shed upon your cheek,
We have shed in its place blood upon our chests.
You are playing with your worship,
While worshippers offer your worship,
Mujahideen offer their blood and life."

O Deceived Ummah! Know that our beloved Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) personally participated in 27 battles in his life. I beg to ask, If the beloved of Allah was not absolved from Jihad, How can you be deceived into thinking that you are absolved of this obligation?

O Youth of Islam! Do not be scared of Martyrdom. By Allah! If only we
realized the status of a martyr, none of us would want to leave this world but
as a martyr. The Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
stated:

"The Martyr feels not the pain of killing except like a pinch."
[Tirmidhi]

The Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stated:

"The Martyr is granted seven gifts from Allah:"

1. He is forgiven at the first drop of his blood.
2. He sees his status in Jannah.
3. He is dressed in the clothes of Iman.
4. He is safe from the punishment of the grave.
5. He will be safe from the great fear of the day of Judgement.
6. A crown of honour will be placed on his head.
7. He will intercede on behalf of 70 members of his family.
[Musnad Ahmad,Tabrani]


O Youth of Islam! Know that there are many types of Martyrs, but one of them is very special with Allah. Ponder over the next Hadith for a moment:

In a long Hadith narrated by Anas Bin Malik, the Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) described three types of Martyrs, and said:

"The third type of Martyr is he who set out for Jihad, with his life and wealth intending reward and he is determined to kill or to be killed. If he is killed or dies he will come on the Day of Judgement with his sword on his shoulders
while the people will be crawling on their knees. He will ask them, 'will you not make way for us, as we have sacrificed our blood and wealth for Allah.'" The Prophet continued, "I swear by the One in whose hands my life is, If this person was to say this to Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) or any
other Prophet, they would also make way for him recognizing their duty. These Martyrs will walk up to the pulpits of noor (light) beneath the Arsh (Throne) of Allah and they will sit there and observe the judgement of the people taking place. The sorrow of death will not reach them, nor the difficulty of the grave, nor will the blowing of the trumpet make them
fear. They will not worry about their judgement, not the crossing of the bridge Siraat. They will observe the judgement being carried out and whatever they will ask will be given to them. Their intercession on behalf of anybody will be accepted. Whatever they request from Jannah (Paradise) will be given to
them and whatever place they will choose in Jannah will be their abode.
[Baihaqi,Bazzaz] .....SubhanAllah!

By Allah! There is no gurantee in life except that gurantee that each and
every one of us entered this world with, which is that one day we will depart
this world at an unknown hour. In Ruins will be such a person, and a Great
looser will be such a person, on that day who fails the greatest test after
been given all the answers.

O Youth! Have you forgotten your history? By Allah! There once was a time when the mention of the name of your Muslim Commanders was enough to make the enemies of Allah and his Messenger tremble. There once was a time when meeting your Muslim Commanders with their armies of Mujahideen was the worst nightmare of the enemies of Allah and his Messenger.

O Youth of Islam! Shall I inform you of Tariq Bin Ziad? Verily the Ummah of Muhammad has not seen anyone like him! This young Muslim general landed with his soldiers on the coast of Spain, and he ordered the boats in which they had crossed the Mediterranean to be burnt, so that there remained no possibility of retreat. After the command had been carried out, he addressed his troops in these memorable words:

"There is no escape now. The sea is behind you and the enemy
is in front. By Allah! You have nothing to depend upon except
your own courage and fortitude."

Following in the example of his beloved Prophet, this young soldier of Allah made a special Dua (supplication), the contents of which are unparallel, but seldom made by Muslim commanders today. The Dua of this young brave soldier of Allah was accepted and the Muslims gained a magnificient victory. Christian Spain became Islamic Andalusia and a strong Muslim kingdom was established that lasted for eight hundred years....

 

O Sons of Islam! This was the action taken when the honour of One Muslim woman was touched. By Allah! There was a time when One Muslim sister was abused in a Roman city and she shouted "Wa Mutasim Billah". These words reached the Khalifah Mutasim Billah and he immediately called the emergency sixth Azan in the Masjid, and all of the Muslims gathered in the Masjid. Khalifah Mutasim Billah said: "A report has reached me that one Muslim woman was abused in a Roman City. I swear in the name of Allah, I will send an army so Great that when its first soldiers reach them, its last soldiers will still be leaving our base. Tell me of the strongest city of these Romans and I will send the army to that city." ...

 

By Allah! There is no gurantee in life except that gurantee that each and
every one of us entered this world with, which is that one day we will depart
this world at an unknown hour. In Ruins will be such a person, and a Great
looser will be such a person, on that day who fails the greatest test after
been given all the answers.

O Muslims! Know that this Deen does not and will never die, and if it were to
die, it would have died the day its Messenger was expelled alone and isolated;
None was with him but his Lord and his companions, yet he migrated, gathered
the Muhajireen (Emigrants) and Ansaar (Helpers) around him, formed the Islamic
State, and strengthened its might.

O Muslim Youth! Hear me well! Verily the time has come for us to wake up and
defend Islam. The religon of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and
blessing of Allah be upon him) is being attacked by the enemies of Allah and
his Messenger. By Allah! They hate the Iman that exists in our hearts. They
will never be happy with us unless and until we denounce our Kalima....
 

Did Allah not remind us of our obligation in the Qur'an:

"And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; And raise for us from you one who will protect, and raise for us from you one who will help." [An-Nisaa:75]

My sins are many, and good deeds little. Jihad is my door to Jannah, and
