The Living Martyrs in Gaza's Hospitals
Israel just bombed a hospital into non-existence.
Doctors, nurses, infants, orphans, refugees—at least 800 innocents, gone from this world in an instant.
But not dead. They are in the Merciful Hands of Allah, receiving the rank and blessings of honored martyrs. They’ve been chosen to be among His shuhada’, and we’ve been chosen to speak out against the ongoing massacre of the Gazan people.
Now is the moment for each of us to stand up to an uncaring world and make them see the brutality and horror wrought by Israel’s agenda of genocide against the Palestinian people.
How do we move forward after the ruthless bombing of a hospital in Gaza? Read the blog, 'The Martyrs of Gaza are Soaring in the Heavens'.

As-salamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu, a'udhu billahi minash shaitanir rajeem, bismillahir rahmanir raheem, alhamdulillahi rabbil alameen, wal adwana illa a'la al-dhalimeen, wal a'qibatu lilmuttaqeen, Allahumma salli wa sallim wa baraka ala abdika wa rasulika Muhammadin sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallim wa taslimin kathira. Dear brothers and sisters, I know this is now the second week in a row that we're not having the firsts. I don't know when we will resume the firsts. It could be next week, it could be in a few weeks, Allah knows best. But inshallah ta'ala with everything that is happening, I think our hearts and our minds are focused on one thing right now. And bi-idhnillahi ta'ala every night on Yaqeen's YouTube channel at 8.30pm Central Time inshallah ta'ala we will have a different program. So some of them will be in person inshallah ta'ala, maybe joint panels inshallah, hopefully this weekend. And then some of them will just be live webinars. But the point is to really help navigate through all of the emotions that we are feeling and more importantly to do that which is pleasing to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in the midst of these moments. So inshallah ta'ala every night at 8.30pm that will be online inshallah. And some of that will be here of course at Valley Ranch inshallah ta'ala as joint programming. I wanted to really focus on something that subhanallah I personally was a part of yesterday and then obviously what we all saw of the images coming out of Gaza today. And of course what's been a recurring theme of what seems to be life that is completely cast aside. And yesterday when I was in Chicago for the janazah of Wadi' a six year old boy, may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accept him as a
shaheed and heal his mother Hanan who is battling through her wounds. There was an ayah that came to my mind, for what crime were you killed? Knowing that one day that young boy is going to be asked on the day of judgment for what crime were you killed? Because on the day of judgment Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala asks the victim. And there's something very powerful about that. That as we're talking about the silenced victims and especially these days where the signals are loud and we're hearing the voice of the tyrants and the voice of the transgressors in every single way constantly amplified. The voice of the victim in this case those that are murdered, those that are being killed, those that are being oppressed Allah Azawajal will say to them, for what crime were you killed? I've seen a lot of death, a lot of destruction. This is one of those things that really was very hard to come to terms with. A six year old boy who ran up to the landlord because he used to be nice to him and instead of getting a hug from his landlord, his landlord stabbed him 26 times. And subhanAllah as his mother came to him and this is something that his mother said. His mother came to him and his mother saw him in his last moments. The last words that he said to his mother is that, I'm fine mama. Somehow a six year old boy even as he has just been torn up in so many different ways physically, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made that the last words that he says to his mother. And then obviously today we see what comes out of Gaza. And seeing the press conference of the doctors with the dead bodies
laying all around looks like something out of a horror movie. Doesn't look like real life. And I think that a lot of people are sort of grappling with, rather they're alive. I mean is that it? These cold bodies. Cold, lifeless, bloodied up bodies. Is that really all that it is? And this is a time that we have a chance to really connect with ayat of the Quran that maybe before didn't have the same sort of resonance with us. And so I want us to sort of go through some of these ayat as we've been doing over the last two weeks in a way that inshaAllah ta'ala we can connect to these ayat and really make them relevant to us in this moment when we see what appears to be lifeless, dead, bloodied bodies that seem to have no meaning. And I want you to imagine the sahabah of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam after Badr when the ayah was revealed. وَلَا تَقُولَنَّ لِمَنْ يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتَ بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ وَلَكِنْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ Suratul Baqarah after Badr Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said do not say of those who are killed in the way of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that they are dead. Rather they are alive. But you can't perceive it. وَلَكِنْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ And it's as if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala was telling them that something really really big is about to happen to you. And that's why knowing the seerah is very important with these ayat. Something really horrible and atrocious is about to happen to you. يَا أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَامًا O community of the Messenger ﷺ. There were very few people that died in Badr from the Muslims. A handful of shuhadat. Twelve or so that died in the battle of Badr. But Allah azza wa jal followed that ayah with وَلَا لَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقُسٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنْفُسِ وَالْثَّمَرَاتِ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُمْ مُصِيبًا
قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ Look, we're going to test you with something of fear. شَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَالْنَقُسٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنْفُسِ وَالْثَّمَرَاتِ We're going to take away money, health, your sustenance, your provisions. وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ And give gliatidings to the patient. And subhanAllah, Ahl al-Ghazza, the people of Gaza, they fit every single one of these descriptions right now. Every single one of these descriptions. Think about that for a moment. They're being tested with خَوْف جُوع They're being tested with fear. They're being tested with hunger. They're being tested with thirst. They're being tested with their health. They're being tested with their wealth. They're being tested with their crops. And they're being tested with their lives. And Allah says, وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ Give glad tidings to the patients. أَلَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُصِيبًا قَالُوا إِنَّ لِلَّهِ وَإِنَا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ Those who when tragedy strikes them, they say to Allah we belong and to Allah we return. Now here's why it's significant to understand the seerah component of this for a moment. The shuhada of Uhud, who were going to be a part of the greatest test that would strike the companion shortly after that ayah was revealed. They read this ayah. They read these ayahs. These were ayahs that they were reciting. Not realizing that they would soon become part of another very similar ayah. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala would narrate on their behalf to those that were left behind after them, after so many of them would face shahada, after so many of them would face martyrdom. And that's where the verses in surah Ali Imran come. That inshallah ta'ala we're going to look at Gaza through the lens of this for a moment. The Prophet ﷺ, he said that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala presented the shuhada of Uhud to himself.
And they were in the bodies of green birds, hanging from chandeliers from the throne of Ar-Rahman. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said to them, as they are flying around and drinking from the riverbanks of Jannah, and eating from the fruits of Al-Jannah, ask me anything. Make a wish. Whatever you want. Subhanallah. Think about our shuhada that are going in the hundreds right now, in the thousands. One strike. And Allah azawajal presenting them to himself. And presenting himself to them. And asking them, tell me whatever you want. And they would ask to come back to this life because of the karama, the generosity that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has shown to them so that they could be sacrificed for Him once again. Subhanahu wa ta'ala Allah azawajal says that, I have taken an oath that once I bring you here, no one returns to it. You're not going back. What do you want? And what did they want? You remember the man in Surah Yasin? Who was calling his people to Islam, calling his people to faith and then he was killed. And when he was killed, what did he say? يَا لَيْتَ قَوْمِي يَعْلَمُونَ If only my people knew. If only I could go back and tell my people, بِمَا غَفَرَ لِي رَبِّي وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ How Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has forgiven me and Allah azawajal has honored me and been generous to me now. And here, the Prophet ﷺ tells us that in almost identical words but with a different intention, يَا لَيْتَ قَوْمِنَ يَعْلَمُونَ If only our people would know. Ya Rabb, tell our families how we're doing. Tell our families what You've given to us. They're worried about us. They picked up our bodies, lifeless. They picked up our bodies.
And in Uhud, what did they do to their bodies? They mutilated them. They tried to psychologically torture the relatives. They mutilated them so that they could send a message. Ya Rabb, go back and tell our spouses. Ya Rabb, go back and tell our parents. Ya Rabb, go back and tell our children what You have given to us. Those same people that used to read the ayah, وَلَا تَقُولَنَّ لِمَنْ يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتَ Don't say of those who have died, who have been martyred that they are دَدْ بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ وَلَكِنْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ Rather they're alive and you don't perceive it. Those same shuhada now have Allah narrating to people in this dunya what they are in right now. SubhanAllah. And so Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتَ بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ Do not say of those who have died, who have been killed in the way of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that they are dead, rather they are alive and they are being provided for. فَرِحِينَ بِمَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ They are in joy right now with what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has bestowed upon them. وَيَسْتَبَشِرُونَ And by the way, they are waiting for you to join them. أَلَّا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ There is no fear on them, nor shall they grieve. SubhanAllah. There is so much to unpack here in these lessons, in these ayat that now have new life. When you go to the graveyard, dear brothers and sisters, and you look at the grave, you see dirt, you see mud, you see constriction, you'll see insects, you'll see nothing that is pleasant there.
And there are two graves that could be right next to each other. And to us, it looks so cold, so bare. Yet SubhanAllah, in two graves, one of them is a garden of Jannah, unlike any garden that has ever been seen or perceived in this life. And the other one could be a chamber of fire. May Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala protect us. Unlike anything that anyone has ever perceived in this life. Likewise, these bodies, these bodies that look so cold and lifeless when we die, it's not these that we're worried about. It's the soul. It's what Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala is going to do with us. I was, SubhanAllah, so moved by the father of Wadi' who, knowing what happened to his son, can say what? Some of you may have watched what he said in Arabic. He said that my son is a shaheed, just like the shuhada of Gaza. And I present him to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala alongside all of those other babies in Gaza. SubhanAllah. What type of iman, what type of faith do you have to have to be able to say that standing over the grave of your son when he was just put in there and you know what has happened to him? That's miraculous. That's something Allah Azawajal puts in the hearts of the believers. And you don't have that unless you have iman, which is why the Prophet ﷺ said, عَجَبًا لِأَمْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ How strange is the affair of the believer. I was looking at one of the reporters, and there were many, many people with cameras, and, you know, trying to capture every moment of the janazah, and I could tell one of them was so deeply moved by everything that was happening, he just couldn't stop. He had to put his camera down, wipe his tears,
and you could tell there was almost a sense of awe. Like, what is it with these people? عَجَبًا لِأَمْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ How amazing is the affair of the believer. That you can even speak in those moments, and you could say something like that when that's your own son that has been put through that. It's a surreal moment, subhanAllah, that resembles what we've been seeing with our brothers and sisters. Think about the strength that you have to have to still say alhamdulillah in those moments. It's because those people have an understanding that it's not about this, it's not about this flesh, it's not about these bodies. We're learning right now the reality of this life in real time. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is teaching all of us lessons about life in real time, about the material world in real time, so that you and I could wake up, and we could perceive a bit more what is more meaningful and what is worth it. What is worth it. Now there's something that we have to have in terms of certainty, in terms of yaqeen, ilm al-yaqeen to ayn al-yaqeen, the knowledge, certain knowledge to visual knowledge. The Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam had something that we didn't have. If you saw the body of Ja'far al-Tayyar radiAllahu ta'ala anhu, Ja'far ibn Abi Talib radiAllahu ta'ala anhu, laying in the battlefield with his arms cut off, you would look at the sight of Ja'far radiAllahu anhu and you'd be horrified. And the Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam says, لقد رأيت جعفر وهو يطير في الجنة مع الملائكة I just saw Ja'far flying around Jannah with the angels. If you saw Hamza radiAllahu ta'ala anhu cut up, parts of his inside taken and chewed, you'd say, what is this? It causes great discomfort and great sickness. And yes, the Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam wept.
I saw Hamza radiAllahu ta'ala anhu reclining in Jannah. If you would have seen Asiya alayhi as-salam, when the stone fell on her, even before the stone fell on her body, she was looking up at Allah sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam and saying, رَبِّ بِلِي عِنْدَكَ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَنَجِّنِي مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَمَلِهِ وَنَجِّنِي مِنْ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ O my Lord, build for me with You a palace in Paradise and save me from the tyranny of Fir'aun and his deeds and save me from a transgressing people. If you would have seen her and you would have seen what happened to her afterwards and there was a press conference next to the body of Asiya alayhi as-salam, we would have all had a serious sense of outrage, a serious sickness in our stomach. But the Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam conveys to us the news of her place in Paradise. If you would have seen the hairdresser of the daughter of Fir'aun when she was brutalized and massacred by Fir'aun, it would have caused us all great anxiety but the Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam smelled her scent on the night of al-Isra' wa l-Mi'raj, the scent of Paradise from her. We don't even know her name. The hairdresser of the daughter of Fir'aun. Now here's the thing. None of this took away from the anger that the Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam felt at the taking of innocent life. None of it. There was anger. There was anger when the Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam saw a person who was killed unjustly. There was anger when the Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam There was anger when the Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam saw a woman from the other side in the battlefield, as Ibn Mas'ud radiAllahu anhu said, an innocent woman that was killed. There was anger when the Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam saw a bird that was killed.
Rasulullah sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam would be outraged. There was anger when the Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam saw people burying their daughters alive. Even though he knows, alayhi salatu wa salam, each and every single one of those girls that was buried alive in Mecca for no other reason but that they were girls is in Jannah. And so there are two emotions to be combined here. One of them is the anger that we should feel at the loss of innocent life. The anger we should feel when we see the desecration of our brothers and sisters. And it should be anger. And sadness for the rahmah, the mercy that is in our hearts. When Rasulullah sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam held his son Ibrahim, you think he didn't know where his son was going? He knew exactly where his son was going. But he still cried over him, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam. All with hope and complete certainty. بل أحياء They are alive. They are alive. They are alive. If all of the children of Gaza that have been killed could hold a press conference right now, what would they say to the people of dunya? الحمد لله الحمد لله Allah عز و جل fulfilled His promise to us. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to stop more murder. But الحمد لله, we are okay. الحمد لله, we are under the care of our Lord. SubhanAllah, yesterday at the graveyard, there was just this sentiment, subhanAllah, like Allah did not create this boy by mistake. Allah سبحانه و تعالى did not bring him here by mistake. But he was killed in oppression. Those fetuses in Gaza that lived for a day or two, some of them maybe breathed for an hour, a few minutes.
Allah did not create them by mistake. They have an eternity in Jannah, بإذن الله تعالى, and they will be intercessors for their parents. We cannot see the other side of this, but we know what's on the other side of it. When you think about the shuhada of Uhud, that read the ayat about the shuhada of Badr to be comforted, and to grow in their certainty. Imagine, dear brothers and sisters, you remember that image of Muhammad al-Durra. رحمه الله الشهيد محمد الدررة 23 years ago. It was the image before social media that stoked the fire in the hearts of so many people around the world when a father is holding his son in his lap and saying don't kill him and calling out for help and then his son dies in his lap. And then three days ago, his two brothers were killed. Imagine Muhammad al-Durra welcoming his two brothers, new shuhada, two decades later. فرحين بما آتاهم الله من فضلي And by the way, there's a part of this ayah that's very profound and very beautiful. Asia alayhi salam said, Oh Allah, build for me with you. I want to be with you, ya Allah. I don't want to be with these people anymore. I want to be with you, ya Allah. More so than the reward of the house in Jannah. What does the ayah of the shuhada say? وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ SubhanAllah, something by the way, I never noticed until today. Personally. Deeply profound. Rather, they are alive with their Lord.
رَبِّ بِنْ إِلِيْ عِنْدَكَ Oh Allah, build for me with you. Allah says they're with me. They're with me now. يُرْزَقُونَ And they're being provided for. Like Asya was provided her special house in paradise. They are with me now. I want to bring this to another element for us. And I know that a lot of us are scared these days. We have a lot of fear. And I want us to conquer that fear. The Prophet ﷺ when he mentioned the way that Muslims would become the feast of the nations of the world. He mentioned ﷺ that Allah ﷻ would put in your hearts al-wahn, fear. And SubhanAllah, your enemies can sniff it. Those who hate you can sniff it. Why do you think the people of Palestine are so special? قَاهِرِينَ لَيْ عَدُوِّهِمْ They drive their enemies nuts. Unbreakable people. Resilient people. That grandma that refuses to leave even without water is so much more than a thousand Israeli soldiers. They hate them. They despise them. And they envy them. The Prophet ﷺ said your enemies won't have mahabba of you anymore. They'll look at you and they'll see you're weak. Because you have fear in your hearts. And they can see that fear in your eyes. And so you have al-wahn. You have this thing in your heart. They said, Ya Rasulullah, what is al-wahn? And the Prophet ﷺ said, حُبِّ الدُّنْيَا وَكَرَاهِيَةُ الْمَوْتِ We're not going to shy away from a hadith here. You love this world too much and you hate death too much. You love this world too much and you hate death too much. This hadith is a very important hadith.
Because what it shows is that you have too much of a material attachment and your fear of losing out on the material due to a lack of conviction in what comes after this material world when the cover is pulled will cause you to not act in accordance with your faith and your principles. Because you're always going to consider the material losses. And I want you to ponder upon that hadith and think about what that means for us. And before they call us radical hate preachers, which they'll do anyway, so I'll bring in a Martin Luther King Jr. quote so that no one can say this is Islamic, you know, radicalism being preached in the masjid. You know, subhanAllah, I was listening to even Ambassador Andrew Young saying I heard Martin Luther King say, he's narrating from Martin Luther King Jr., right, said that you cannot live until you conquer the fear of wealth and the fear of the loss of wealth and the fear of death. I was like, that's a hadith. Literally quoted a hadith, right? And there's a famous saying from Martin Luther King Jr. that if you don't have something worth dying for, then you're not fit to live. So now let's bring it back to our own hadith for a moment, okay? Ya Rasulullah, in the context of another hadith, every single one of us doesn't like death. We all hate death, but there's a context here. There's a context here. For us, dear brothers and sisters, in the context of this hadith, at no point will you ever give up on your faith or give up on what your faith mandates of you out of fear of anyone but Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.
You have to understand this, especially as fitan grow, especially as trials and tribulations grow. And what's going to cause you to not fear death so much anymore that it paralyzes you in this life? It's an understanding that we're not here to live for this. Does that mean be reckless? No. Does that mean throw yourself in the path of death? Absolutely not. Your life is an amanah. You have to live for the sake of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la too. Your life is amanah. But you know what that means? We need to conquer our fear. And the ulama say, if you conquer your fear of death, you conquer everything that is less than death. If you conquer your fear of death, you conquer your fear of the loss of wealth. If you conquer your fear of death, you conquer your fear of the loss of security. If you conquer your fear of death, you conquer the fear of everything that comes under that. What we're seeing in our people is that they can't be broken anymore with the threat of death. Allah Azawajal put something else in their hearts. The reason why I say this right now, dear brothers and sisters, do not die except that you are Muslims. There's a lesson to take from all of this, is fill your heart with that certainty in Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la and endure when those trials are presented to you. You don't go looking for al-khawth, you don't go looking for al-ju'a, you don't go looking for the loss of life, the loss of crops, the loss of your sustenance. No, no, you're smart, you're wise. You do things right and you don't pursue recklessness. But we have to have in our hearts that certainty in Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.
And what that means, especially in this time, this is a time that requires from the Muslims courage. This is the time that requires courage. This is not the time to shrink. This is not the time to shrink for us. We need wisdom. We need to be smart. We need to do things in accordance with the sunnah of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Speak in ways that are fruitful, that are productive. But this is not the time to cower. And I know that with all of the intimidation that is happening right now, specifically on Palestine, specifically on Palestine, intimidation at every single level. I understand that there's this concept of it's easy for, it is easy for me to speak if I never teach at a university, at a mainstream university again, or never get invited to this place or that place. Not a big deal. I understand for some of you this is my job, and this is my school, and this is this, and this is that. I'm not saying be reckless. But do be courageous. And it's time for us to find that moral courage inside of us because as a community, we're not the same community that we were after 9-11. We're institutionally stronger. We have more numbers, inshallah ta'ala. We can be more organized. This is not the time to cower. This is not the time to shrink. We already played the fear game. وَلَا تَهِنُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا أَنْتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِنْ كُنتُم مُؤْمِنِينَ Do not fear. Do not lose heart. Do not grieve. You are believers. You have righteousness. Your brothers and sisters are an inspiration to you. They are an example of courage right now. And they are facing everything that Allah mentioned in that ayah. We at this point are facing maybe a little bit of khawf, a little bit of fear. And I don't want to minimize that for everyone.
But we're facing a little bit of khawf. It's not equal for everyone. But if you look at that ayah, that's where we're at. Any one of us hungry for Palestine yet? Any one of us lost our jobs, lost our food, lost our money? Has anyone gotten kicked out of their home yet? Has anyone had, you know, this next level of intimidation yet to where you're really fearing for your security? Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has given us something. And so I say that because we're going to need to be in this for the long run, bi-idhnillahi ta'ala. This is not the time for fear. This is the time of courage. And that courage has to be based in ikhlas. And nurture your kids with that too. Don't tell your kids to be afraid. Tell your kids to be careful. Tell your kids to be smart. Don't tell them to be afraid. Tell them what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells you in them. This is a time for courage. Be inspired by the people of Palestine. Be inspired by the people of Gaza. And keep reciting to yourself. You know, subhanAllah, I was thinking, you know, and when you go to these protests, they got the chant. So part of the protest is half the chant and then you have to repeat it. And I thought if a person, if a mu'min just said to himself constantly, innama al-usri yusra. innama al-usri yusra. innama al-usri yusra. This is ayah. This isn't a chant. Verily with hardship comes ease. The ease of the people that die is jannah. The ease of the people that die is jannah. The ease of the people that live is nasrun minallahi wa fathun qareeb. The help of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will come. And so I implore you to be strong. To stay united inshaAllah ta'ala. We'd be courageous. We'd be vigilant. And when we see these images, it's okay to cry. Because the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam cried. It's okay to take a moment and step back
and to go to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala broken. Munkasiran as Jabir radiAllahu ta'ala anhu was. When his father was martyred in Uhud. Broken. It's okay to go broken to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so that you can cry out to him subhanahu wa ta'ala. But those supposedly cold lifeless bodies are now living souls. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accept each and every single one of them ash-shuhada. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accept each and every single one of them as shuhada. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accept each and every single one of them as shuhada. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala comfort them for every moment of cruelty that they faced in this life. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala enter them into al-firdaws al-a'la. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reward them with a reward that would make them forget any pain that they faced in this life. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala put in our hearts the love of Allah, the love of the Messenger ﷺ, the love of al-jannah, the certainty in al-jannah. And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala allow us to persevere and to act in ways that are pleasing to Him. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala keep us strong upon iman. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala keep us strong upon righteousness. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala keep us insisting upon faith.
