A summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

2
00:00:08,990 --> 00:00:11,990
Martyrdom in the cause of Allah

3
00:00:11,990 --> 00:00:16,339
Linguistically, a martyr is one who is present and a witness.

4
00:00:16,339 --> 00:00:22,339
And in Islamic law, it is one who is killed in the cause of Allah in combat with the disbelievers.

5
00:00:22,339 --> 00:00:27,339
And Allah chooses whomever He wills from His servants for martyrdom in His cause.

6
00:00:27,339 --> 00:00:31,339
It has been mentioned that the reason a martyr is so named is:

7
00:00:32,340 --> 00:00:39,340
Firstly, because his death in the cause of Allah is a testimony that this religion is truth,

8
00:00:39,340 --> 00:00:41,340
and his state deserves to be sacrificed.

9
00:00:41,340 --> 00:00:48,469
Secondly, because his soul has witnessed Paradise before his body enters it on the Day of Resurrection.

10
00:00:48,469 --> 00:00:56,630
Thirdly, his being killed in the cause of Allah is a testimony to his sincerity in loving Allah and His religion.

11
00:00:56,630 --> 00:01:07,629
Fourthly, his blood is like a signature that the witness inscribes upon his certainty that this religion is more precious to him than his own self.

12
00:01:07,629 --> 00:01:14,859
Fifthly, he will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection with a witness to his killing, which is his blood.

13
00:01:14,859 --> 00:01:17,859
He will be resurrected with his wound gushing blood.

14
00:01:17,859 --> 00:01:22,859
The color will be the color of blood, and the scent will be the scent of musk.

15
00:01:22,859 --> 00:01:29,109
Sixthly, the martyr is present, alive, with his Lord; he is not dead.

16
00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:34,109
He witnesses the honor Allah has prepared for him through his killing.

17
00:01:34,109 --> 00:01:40,109
Allah the Almighty says: "And do not say about those who are killed in the cause of Allah, 'They are dead.'"

18
00:01:40,109 --> 00:01:45,109
“And call not those who are slain in the way of Allah "dead." Nay, they are living, only ye perceive not.” (2:154)

19
00:01:45,109 --> 00:01:50,109
And their life is one whose reality we do not know, but you do not perceive.

20
00:01:50,109 --> 00:01:58,109
And Allah the Almighty says: "And do not think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead."

21
00:01:58,109 --> 00:02:02,109
“Think not of those, who are slain in the way of Allah, as dead. Nay, they are living. With their Lord they have provision.” (3:169)

22
00:02:02,109 --> 00:02:09,240
Seventhly, the martyr is present through his lasting, living message on Earth.

23
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:14,719
And all these meanings are correct and apply to the martyr.

24
00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:17,719
What great favor and honor!
