WHAT IS MARTYRDOM SHAHADAT?


MARTYRDOM SHAAHADAT


All Praises are due to Allaah Almighty, the All-Knowing, the All-Powerful, and Choicest Salutations upon His Dearly loved Prophet 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 says in the Holy Qur'aan, in the 2nd Soorah, al-Baqarah, :

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.
