Allah has arranged a very strange system for the Shuhada. There is all enjoyment, all peace and all honour in this system. By the Lord of Ka'ba, if we understand that system, we will not bother to live in this world even for a minute. What is there in this world than fraud, lie, diseases, worries, fights, quarrels, sins and restlessness? The Shaheed will be asked in the Paradise what more he yearns. He will answer, "O my Lord, send me to the earth again so that I may be martyred again." O yes, return from the Paradise just for martyrdom. Allah-o-Akbar! O yes, the place where there are the palaces made of gold, silver and jewels, holy pious celestial wives, no worry, no disease, but the company of the Prophets and the Sahaaba(RA), the horses that fly in the air, unique health and youth and everything that man can yearn for i.e. neither fear nor anxiety. But the Shaheeed is ready to give up all for the sake of the blessings that he gains at the time of martyrdom. Today, when I began to write, I missed the Shahada very much.

The politics of the country does not deserve only discussion. These days, it is not politics. It is open terrorism i.e. the American's phones, Parvez Musharrif's obstinacy and personal limitations of Mr. Asif Zardary. Pakistan is, no doubt, under torment; the country that sided with the Pagans and killers is groaning under the load of sins. The smoke of oppression is still rising from Jamia Hafsa, Baajorr, Waziristan, Swat and Karachi. But I smell the fragrance of the blood of the martyrs from this smoke. The Shuhada of Karachi like Hazrat Ludhianvi, Hazrat Shaamzai (RH), Hazrat Jameel (RH) and Mufti Iqbal (RH), the Shuhada of Jamia Hafsa like Ghazi Abd-ur-Rasheed, Maulana Maqsood Ahmad and a number of dear sisters and daughters, the Shuhada of Baajorr and Waziristan i.e. innocent pious sons and daughters; in which were all these killed? But Allah be thanked, the retired military officers are talking sense. Would that the present day Generals had also remembered that they had been born to the Muslim mothers. The voice of Azaan also echoed in their ears. They have also recited the Kalma of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). Then why are they becoming the soldiers of Bush? Do they not remember their death, grave, Madina and the Hauz-e-Kausar or will they also speak the truth only after retirement?

Allah abominates the Pagans and does not accept any of their good deed. The Noble Quran has clarified this fact time and again. Then how fair is it to cooperate with the Pagans and to become a part of their unholy unity? Keep it in mind, those who side with the Pagans can also become the butt of Allah's abomination and wrath---- and they are becoming. There were also a few Muslims in the army of Abu Jahl; the Muslims who were swept by the circumstances. These people lived in Makkah. When Abu Jahl set out with his forces, they also came out with them. They would say to one another that they would make the final decision after the face to face encounter in the battlefield. If they saw some power in the Muslims, they would profess Islam openly and join the Muslims. But if they did not see any power there, they would remain attached with their nation i.e. Polytheists, because they are to live in the world and run with the times. The Abu Jahl swarm reached the field of Badr with pomp and show, weapons, arms, bands, dancing, singing, pride, haughtiness and the war might. The Muslims also stood before them; very weak, unarmed, mild, shoeless, unarmed; a few had swords in their hands that were broken, the others had only sticks, cudgels and stones in their hands. There was the clamour of the camels and horses in the army of the Polytheists whereas there were supplications and sighs in the army of the Muslims. Then the skies began to tremble. Hazrat Jibrail Amin with the army of angels landed on the earth on his horse "Haizoom." The accursed Satan with his millions of disciples also descended to the side of Abu Jahl. When the Muslims in the army of the Polytheists saw this, they cried out, "Today, the Muslims have come out just to die. How can these few unarmed weak Muslims counter this huge army? There will be no fight today rather one sided proceeding. Abu Jahl and his army will wipe out the Muslims within a few minutes or in the words of Sheikh Rasheed will make them omelette." O yes, the naked eyes were observing this only. Therefore, those policy-stricken Muslims remained the part of the Infidel army. When the war started, those unlucky people were killed. The Noble Quran tells us that all of them were pushed into the hell. While seizing their souls, the angels beat them well and said to them, "What did you do?" They answered, "We were weak. So we became a part of the Polytheists out of constraint." The angels did not accept this answer. They beat them with the whips of fire and drove them to punishment. O Allah! we seek thy protection. What is the similarity between the merriments of Shuhada and the torments to those who sided with the Pagans? O yes, I am missing the Shuhada today very much i.e. Huzaifa, Talha and Paamla who were killed around Babury Masjid, then Arsalan, Bahoo and his companions who sacrificed their lives after them. Babury Masjid is the daughter of Ka'ba and the esteem of Islam. It was right to raise voice at it, not a crime. Those who taunt those who raise a voice in favour of Babury Masjid Movement may weaken and Advani may build a temple there and they may take the sermon deliverers to inaugurate that temple who taunt us. "Where did you keep sleeping at the time of Lal Masjid who raise voices for Babury Masjid. Lal Masjid is also the daughter of Ka,ba." No one has forgotten it nor a Muslim can forget it. Allah be thanked, Azaan and Namaz is also performed there. May it continue till the Doomsday! The pulpit of the Lal Masjid may again be blessed with the voice of Hazrat Maulana Abdul-Aziz who is the son of a Shaheed, the father of a Shaheed, the brother of a Shaheed and the nephew of a Shaheed. Actually, I have started the study of the Surah of the Noble Quran named "Surah Muhammad" whose another name is "Al-Qital." Our Holy Prophet (PBUH) has a very deep relation with Jihad and Qital. Those who do not believe in Jihad and Qital, actually, do not believe in Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). I have been accumulating the gems on Jihad in this Surah. More than forty-five pages have been written till verse number four. There is command of Jihad as well as those of prisoners of war. There is excellence of Shuhada at the end of the Surah which extends to two more verses.

I was reading the commentary of the commentators and envying at the Shuhada. Allah-o-Akbar! The Shuhada have gained great success. But only the Holy Prophet (PBUH) knew the high position of martyrdom or only that knows who is killed. Allah had told and shown this position to the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Therefore, he, time and again, yearned for martyrdom in this world whereas his position is much higher than the Shuhada. The others know of the excellences of martyrdom but they come to know of its actual position and the practical blessings after martyrdom. That is why; the Shaheed will yearn to return to the world after entering Paradise. I was studying the excellences of Shuhada and feeling sorry for the people who write journals to lessen the importanace of martyrdom and in their fancy, they plead the true Din. Allah be thanked, the righteous people are themselves sensible. They do not need anyone's pleading. The Shuhada of Afghanistan are the pioneers of Jihad in this age. Ten thousand Shuhada of Dasht-e-Laila! How strange is the figure ten thousand! When the Khaaqanis attacked Kharasaan during the reign of Hazrat Usman Ghani (RA), the entire army of the Muslisms was martyred in that battle which numbered ten thousand. The Noble Quran tells us time and again that Allah does not need anyone's Jihad. He can kill the Pagans Himself if He wills. But He enjoined Jihad so that He might judge who is the true Muslim and who is the so-called Muslim. He enjoined Jihad so that some Muslims might be blessed with the high position of martyrdom. Now every Muslim should peep into his heart, "At what place is he standing in this trial?" A few days ago, I was walking on foot. A few young men of schools and colleges were talking about "Jihad" in a loud voice. All of them had western dressed and western styles. They were saying, "Actual Jihad is the Jihad of the "Self" and this is the greatest Jihad. I was astonished at this net of Satan. Approx 558 verses of the Noble Quran have described Jihad. That is not the real Jihad rather the minor Jihad? If the people who write books on "Jihad with Self" had gone out with the people that the "Jihad of Self" whom people are calling greater Jihad is comprehensive Jihad of Hazrat Ibrahim Ablah, Hazrat Ibn-e-Mubarik, Hazrat Imaam Raazi and Hazrat Imaam Ghazaali rather it is the Jihad of Mirza Qadiani. He has raised this voice and has tried to weaken the importance of the obligation of Jihad in the way of Allah. If you do not believe, go to the people and ask them. They do not know the meaning of Jihad with the "Self." On whose basis have they humiliated the research work on Jihad?

O yes, I am again missing the Shuhada of Kashmir; the princes who fought against the Polytheists. The whole Quran is lit with the verses that tell us of Jihad with the Polytheists. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) started Jihad from the Polytheists. Only those Polytheists tortured Hazrat Ayesha's (RA) husband Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) and drew him out from there. The Polytheists are enemies to our entire Din and they have occupied a large part of land that had been under the Muslim rule. These Polytheists have depopulated thousands of mosques in the east Punjab. They are the killers of millions of Muslims. Salutations to the Shuhada of Palestine who fight against the Jews who are the worst hindrance in the way of Islam. Salutations to all those Shuhada and the Shuhada of Iraq who saved the prestige of the land of Hazrat Ibrahim (AS).

A few days ago, a killer of the Muslims saluted those who bombed at Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa. It is his right to salute those companions who have been siding with him in both the worlds. We have love only for the Shuhada. Very deep love. So, with trembling heart and reverence, we slaute to all the Shuhada of Islam. Salaam......Salaam......Salaam
