Virtues of a Martyr

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

Virtues of a Martyr


"Think not of those, who are slain in the way of Allah, as dead. Nay, they are living. With their Lord they have provision. Jubilant (are they) because of that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty, rejoicing for the sake of those who have not joined them but are left behind: that there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve. They rejoice because of favor from Allah and kindness, and that Allah wasteth not the wage of the believers.” (Quran- Al `Imran: 169-71)

Sayyidina Abu Hurairah(radhiyallahu anhu) reports that the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhu wassallam) has said that those who die in the path of Allah, suffer little pain of death just like the bite of an ant. (Tirmizi)

Sayyidina Anas(radhiyallahu anhu) reports that the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhu wassallam) has said that a martyr will be given the right of interceding for seventy of his relatives. (Abu Dawood)

Sayyidina Ka'ab bin Malik(radhiyallahu anhu) reports that the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhu wassallam) has said that the soul of martyrs go about relishing the fruits of Paradise, just like green birds. (Tirmizi)

Abu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said: “I swear by the One in Whose Hands my soul is, I wish that I would fight for the sake of Allaah (i.e., Jihaad) and get martyred, then return and fight again and get martyred, then return and fight again and get martyred” (Bukhaari & Muslim)

In a Hadeeth when Marwaan said: “We asked ‘Abdullaah Ibn Mas’ood, may Allaah be pleased with him, about the following verse: (which translates as): “And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allaah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision.” (Aal-‘Imraan: 169).’ He, may Allaah be pleased with him, replied: “We asked the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam about this verse and he replied: “Their (i.e., the martyrs souls) will live inside green birds that dwell in designated lamps which hang on the throne of Allaah, they will roam freely in Paradise as they please, then return to these lamps” (Muslim)

A Shaheed has six other benefits; Al-Miqdaam Ibn Ma’di Karib, may Allaah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said: “A martyr has six bounties: He will be forgiven with the first drop of his blood that is spilt; He will see his place in Paradise (at the time of death); He will be saved from the ‘Great Horror’ (on the Day of Judgment): A Crown of Dignity will be placed on his head, which contains many corundums, each one being more precious than this life and all that it contains; He will have seventy two Women of Paradise; And, he will be allowed to intercede for seventy of his family members (who would have otherwise gone to hell).” (Tirmidhi & Ibn Maajah)

The pain that a martyr feels at the time of death will be reduced so greatly that he will only feel as if he was stung by a mosquito. Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said: “A martyr only feels from the effect of being killed that which one would when being stung by a mosquito.” (Tirmidhi, Nasaa’i)

Samurah Ibn Jundub, may Allaah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said: “Last night I was inspired (through a dream); I saw two men come to me and take me up a tree (in Paradise) then into a dwelling which was the best I have ever seen; they informed me that it was the dwelling of the martyrs.” (Bukhaari)

Among all the dwellers of Paradise, only the martyrs would wish to return to this life. This is due to the immense rewards and respect that have been mentioned in the previous Ahadeeth. Anas bin Maalik, may Allaah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said: “Nobody who enters Paradise would ever wish to return to this life again, even if he was to be given the whole world and everything in it – except for a martyr; for he would wish to return and get killed ten times due to the honour that he received (in Paradise).” and in another narration: “For what he finds as virtues of martyrdom.” (Bukhaari & Muslim)

Are there some mothers who specifically raise their kids to by martyrs?

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

Peace

We must raise our children so they are aware of all aspects of Islam, including Jihad. I personally would be more than proud if any of my children fought fee sabeelillah, and even more proud if they were martyred fee sabeelillah. Not that I have any children or anything.

i dont know but its interesting if the first women was a martyr also women are more fortunate becoz they have an extra way to be martyred which is by dying while giving birth. Men cant do that!!

If I'm not mistaken the first woman to be martyred was Sumaiya!?

Sa7 ukhti, that is correct. And i'm sure we've all read the story of Nussayibah bint Ka'b, mashaAllah! I don't know if that is true, but my Qurán teacher's husband is fighting jihad there. I've said this before, but he's pushing 70. SubhanAllah. Where are the young men to protect us from getting raped by soldiers?:rollseyes

*Hangs head in shame* Subahanallah is he part of a mujahideen group, ermm make dua to allah to grant me the opertunity to fight in his cause, this is the one thing that'd make me happy even if I lived in poverty the rest of my life if I knew shuhadaa was waiting then I'd be a happy man.

they willing to leave their life to defend their right against the kuffar (is that how you call?) who opress them. as a christian i definitely would do so if somebody step ther foot on my head or stomp my brothers to the floor.

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

I'm glad to see there are some understanding people in the world.:)
But we would fight jihad anywhere in the world.
We fight so that the weak may live, we do everything for the pleasure of Allah.

no we're not,

men and women are not equal, thats a lotta bull bruv, we have "EQUITY". We both have out strengths, but we're not equal.

if you check out the meaning to equal and equity you'll get what i mean :)

:salamext:

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

What's equity?:?

[IbnAbdulHakim]

basically if you add up the pro's and con's of both men and women we are about the same but on one thing we are NOT equal, for example both of us are not STRONG lol!

you do get the unussualy strong ones here and there :rollseyes:

Strong in what way? Physically, yeah men are usually stronger. But mentally is different. That really depends on the individual.

lol sis jus to make sure, do you think men and women are equal on every level? :?

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

lol sis jus to make sure, do you think men and women are equal on every level? :?

Well, i'm not sure what you mean by equal. I think we have different rights, but we are equal, because Allah grants us the same reward for our deeds. What did you mean by equal?

[IbnAbdulHakim]

Well, i'm not sure what you mean by equal. I think we have different rights, but we are equal, because Allah grants us the same reward for our deeds. What did you mean by equal?

ye sis, same rewards, we have equity :happy:

ok lemme break it down:

Equal means:
Having the same quantity, measure, or value as another.


Equity means:
The state, quality, or ideal of being just, impartial, and fair.

so if u think bout it, women are more emotionally stronger, men are physically stronger. This makes us equal but on different levels. Yes we get the same rewards of course.


hope that makes sence inshaAllah :)
