THE EVENTS OF KARBALAA
MARTYRDOM SHAAHADAT
All Praises are due to Allaah [Ta'aalaa], the
All-Knowing, the All-Powerful, and Choicest Durood and Salutations upon His
beloved Rasool, the Habeeb,Muhammad [Sallal Laahu
‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam], and his beloved ‘Aal.
[His family]
May the Peace and Blessings of Allaah Kareem be upon him, and upon
his family, companions, [Sahaabah] and all those who follow them until the Day
of Judgment. Aameen.
Allaah [Almighty and Glorious is He] says in the Holy Qur'aan, in
the 2nd Soorah, al-Baqra,:
Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some
loss in goods or lives or the fruits [of your toil]...
but give glad tidings to
those who patiently persevere. Who say, when afflicted with calamity:
"To Allaah we belong, and to Him is our return"
They are those on whom blessings descend from their Lord, and
Mercy, and they are the ones that receive guidance.
Martyrdom on the path of Almighty Allaah, to give one’s life, is
an act of Grace from Allaah Amighty [an-ni’maah] and Blessing [sa’adat]
that we can determine it from a saying of the
Holy Prophet Muhammad
[Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam],
his family and his companions) in which he says:
I swear by Almighty Allaah, I would love to be martyred in the
path of Allaah Kareem, thereafter brought back to life in this temporal world
and be martyred again. Then be brought back to life and be martyred again.
The Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam], his family and
his companions expressed a desire to be martyred again and again.
