7/28/2019 The Beloved Martyrs by Javad Naqvi

1/6

This heartfelt incident of the bomb blasts on Barori road has hurt people all over the world and especially it has

trembled the heart of Imam e Zamana(A.S).Today the land of Pakistan is spilt with the blood of Martyrs and in

Quetta there is no enough space to even burry these Martyrs.The level of oppression has reached its heightsbut the government has no concern what so ever and theypretend to be totally isolated and unassociated

towards this oppression. People are being killed just because they are Muslims and Shias.

The Holy Quran has ordered us that we are not allowed to even consider the Martyrs as dead. Allah says in the

Holy Quran:

"Do not suppose those who were slain in the way of Allah to be dead; rather they are living and provided for

near their Lord." (3:169)

They are a witness over the oppressors and all those who see oppression but remain silent and also those who

present their lives on the path of Allah. A Martyr has a Sublime rank not because he merely dies, it is because he

dies on the path of Allah (S.W.T). It is easy to die but not in the way of Allah. Being on the right path and dying

naturally is also counted as a rank of a Martyr.

In todays horrendous situation there are a few groups which are involved and play an important role.

1) Terrorists2) Government3) General Public4) Political leaders

Today our whole country and all its related affairs such as Political, Social, Cultural, and Religious affairs are all

in the hands of terrorists. They are the ones who direct us today and we without any hesitation are ready attheir service. We should not forget that people who oppress, see oppression and are in favor of oppression are

all counted as terrorists. Now the time has come that terrorist parties have started showing their confidence

and reliance over different parties in Pakistan. Taliban has announced that they have total confidence over

these three people and their parties.

1) Munawwar Hassan of Jamaat e Islami.

2) Nawaz Sharif of Muslim League Noon.

3) Molana Fazlul Rehman of Jamiat Ulema.

It is a fact of high shame that after the big incident of Quetta, these three Parties didnt even pass their

condolences to the household of the Martyrs. Their sense of feeling has deceased and they dont feel the pain of

their fellow brothers and sisters. Our Government has no control over any issues related to Governance.

Nowadays they have handed this governance to the terrorists. The Present Governor of Baluchistan has said

that our government is coward and incapable too and this is the reality. We surrender to those who are lower in

terms of power to us! Unfortunately the public doesnt show any reaction, nor do they raise any voice, they are

like small animals that bend their knees in front of the big wild beasts in the jungle.

The Terrorists in Pakistan are being supported by the Arab Countries especially by Saudi Arabia and U.A.E. and

even Turkey is playing a big role in offering services to them. Today Turkeys real point of concentration is

Pakistan. The public of Pakistan seems to be muddled and confused though there is nothing big which is

perplexing and ambiguous, they intentionally like to stay confused because they dont want to take

responsibilities over their shoulder.

The current affairs of today give an open and clear cut message to the nation and in particular to the Shias

(being the first addressee) but unfortunately they are not hearing this voice. This message was first given by the

pen in writing, then by the tongue as the slogan was raised Shia Kafir(Disbeliever), and today this very

message is given by bullets and cannonballs but it seems that Shias dont want to hear this message. There are 3

main categories of people who are giving important messages to us but we are not paying any attention

towards them.

1) From the terrorists: You have an enemy in this country (i.e terrorists), and you should know that yourenemy is merciless and the one who never goes easy on you and is never ignorant of you! This

message is crystal clear but we regrettably dont understand. We hear the message day and night but

we pretend the way we havent heard anything.

2) From the Government: We are not responsible and answerable for anything or belonging of yours, ifyou wish to stay here (in Pakistan), you can and if u feel unsecure you have the total right to choose

your destination.

3) From the Martyrs: They have an extremely important message. They tell us that If u dont plananything to save yourself then you will surely be killed, reason being that those martyrs who have

presented their lives in the way of Allah havent caused any harm to any party, group or anybody. So

likewise if you stay at home, or remain silent over oppression, or stay indulged in your routine life, you

will certainly be killed!

THE PROBLEM IS CLEAR FOR EVERY BODY, the real difficulty is in finding the right solution!

How do we overcome the current crisis?

In the current situation, asking the government to feel pity for us and demanding different things one after the

other from them shows that we still have kept our expectations alive from these beasts. Today the media is

trying its level best to divert our attention towards minute and secondary issues so that the government can

continue to do whatever they are doing at the moment. Our pathetic Government is so care free that it has

reasons and justifications to present in order to defend an oppressor whereby the oppressor himself is ready to

accept his crime. This shows that the government seems least interested to follow up with the oppressors and

has no sense of concern to support the oppressed and to fight for their rights. The Martyrs have told us that if

we dont do anything and sit idle, then also we will be massacred. These torn apart bodies give a message to all

those alive that the condition of Pakistan has become such that we will be assassinated in every single situation

we are unless we practically plan out some defensive strategies for ourselves. Allah says in the Holy Quran:

[Shakir 4:75] And what reason have you that you should not fight in the way of Allah and of the weak among the

men and the women and the children, (of) those who say: Our Lord! cause us to go forth from this town, whose

people are oppressors, and give us from Thee a guardian and give us from Thee a helper.

This Ayah condemns the believers as to what has happened to them? What tragedy has befallen on them? Why

dont they take a stand in the way of Allah? Why dont they defend those who are weak?


3/6

The weak men, women, and children are shouting that Oh lord give us protection from such a land or society

where the people who stay are oppressors and where people have compromised on values and have agreed to

live whilst oppression takes place. The weak people are lamenting for salvation, and are demanding from Allah

that He grants them a (Guardian/Protector), who can help and guide them to come out of the mind boggling

situation. There are two things which are leading us towards destruction.

1) Terrorism

2) Reaction over Terrorism. When the public stays under pressure due to terrorism, this causes more destruction

and this is even more disparaging than terrorism itself. We know that terrorism is not being controlled by the

government, but we have the power to control ourse lves at least. We dont need any weapons to control

ourselves, only determination and will power is required. Allah says in the Quran:

[Shakir 4:71] O you who believe! take your precaution, then go forth in detachments or go forth in a body.

Today we listen to every call except the call to salvation. Allah has given us the direction, but it is now upon us if

we wish to walk on it. The believers have been commanded to take the preventive measures in hand, and not to

demand protection from anyone else. Hold the defensive tools with power and then leave your homes! is astraightforward command; hence there is no room for any misperception!

The Quran also makes it clear that everybody should not go in one direction. From amongst us there should be

a group who should leave their homes in order to pursue Islamic Studies and after understanding the Religion,

they should return back to their nations and warn the people which might result in the nation reaching the path

to salvation. Allah says in the Quran:

{122}

[Shakir 9:122] And it does not beseem the believers that they should go forth all together; why should not then

a company from every party from among them go forth that they may apply themselves to obtain

understanding in religion, and that they may warn their people when they come back to the m that they may be

cautious?

One group should be ready to take the Economy of the country in its control and likewise spread the different

tasks and affairs of the nation. They should be united but they should also spread the work by distributing

different tasks and responsibilities. We have been standing at the door of this pitiless and ruthless Government

for 25 years and they have been responding with total disgrace. If the government wanted to save us, they

would have shown a little bit of concern. Just imagine that a terrorist buys 1000 kg material for bomb blast from

Waris Chemicals and takes it from Akbari Market to Quetta and goes unnoticed. How is this possible and what

justification can the cruel government present to defend themselves?

Hence it is important to know that we should not keep any expectations from the government. It is the

government who has planned everything against us and is the real cause behind all the glitches.

We listen to everybody but pay no heed as to what the Quran says. The Quran doesnt teach us that we go to

the oppressors and ask them to give us protection. The Quran has given us straight orders but the idols of

parties, clusters and groups dont allow us to present ourselves with sincerity towards the call of the Creator.

One thing we need to learn is that we should have the courage to say which means NO. Many of our

problems can be solved just by telling our enemies that we arent ready to accept what they demand for. Unity

is a value of religion which has been misunderstood. It doesnt mean to hold the seat of Power together; it


4/6

means to hold the Rope of Allah with firmness and steadfastness! Today we have united ourselves with our

enemies and this has caused a very big damage to the Islamic Society. By no means we are allowed to

compromise and negotiate with the enemies of religion. As the Holy Prophet told the disbelievers that they

have their own religion and the Prophets religion can never compromise with them.

{6}

[Shakir 109:6] You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion.

Surah Al Qafiroon breathes a spirit of uncompromising abhorrence to idolatry. There can be no common ground

between the worship of "the one" and the many- monotheism and polytheism. The Quran has ordained us that

we need to stand upright against oppression and Allah commands us not to sit after holding the defensive

measures. If the requirement is for a few to come out, then a few should take the initiative, and if the need goes

beyond, everyone regardless of any status or rank should come in the battle field and stand upright! The Quran

side by side also warns us that there might be a few amongst us who would be sluggish and lethargic, but we

shouldnt follow them, they might want to divert peoples attention by saying that leaving homes is not the

requirement of religion and it is just a mere personal opinion. There are a few who arent firm and if they face

any difficulty on the pathway to salvation and especially when people get martyred, they say that how much

they have been blessed that they are alive and their fellow brothers have been martyred. They are proud to say

that they crossed Barori Road two minutes prior to the bomb blast!

[Shakir 4:72] And surely among you is he who would certainly hang back! If then a misfortune befalls you he

says: Surely Allah conferred a benefit on me that I was not present with them.

What kind of disgrace is this that after being deprived of the Sublime rank of Martyrdom, a person is happy to

stay alive, safe and sound? We should be ashamed when we thank Allah that we arent amongst the martyrs.

And when these lazy people see the grace from Allah, they turn out and pretend to be strangers and say that

Oh God I wish I were to be with them. I wish I would also have attained this splendid victory. Oh lord there was

no one to guide me to reach this stage

[Shakir 4:73] And if grace from Allah come to you, he would certainly cry out, as if there had not been any

friendship between you and him: Would that I had been with them, then I should have attained a mighty good

fortune.

But on the other hand when you see such people who leave everything for the sake of Allah, they are always

content and satisfied with their status and they are destined to be victorious in every situation whether they

stay alive or not. The quality of a true believer is that he stands upright for the sake of Allah.

[Shakir 4:74] Therefore let those fight in the way of Allah, who sell this world's life for the hereafter; and

whoever fights in the way of Allah, then be he slain or be he victorious, We shall grant him a mighty reward.

We should also know that those who we perceive are very strong, in reality they are extremely weak. TheCommander of Resistance, Syed Hassan Nasrallah says:

Israel is weaker than the spider web

Our enemy is not very strong, unfortunately we have become extremely feeble, because we have left Allah and

His Support, and we have started demanding help from the Oppressors!

What is Amal Salih? What does it mean? Is it only limited to helping the poor and such similar individual good

deeds?

Amal e Salih is any action which has the potential to take us a level up towards attaining Gods Proximity. If an

action cant take u a level up then it might be a good deed but it wont turn out to be of any benefit. Good deeds

pay off when they are done on the right path and direction. For eg : In a Math paper if u write Ayat al kursi,

thought it has a lot of reward and it is highly recommended to recite and memorize these Ayahs, but at that

point of time it is not an Amal e Salih because in a Math paper one should write Math equations in order to

solve the questions. Likewise one needs to sit on the car which takes one towards the desired destination; it

should not be that you miss your flight whilst helping the needy who is sitting at one corner. So a good deed

which takes you away from your goal will not be considered an Amal e Salih.

In todays world Amal e Salih is any action which can save the Ummah from destruction. Good deeds will not

take us towards salvation; it is the Amal e salih which can save us from devastation. If we leave our

responsibilities, Allah will make such a nation whose relation with Allah will not be of a trading type (give and

take) but instead they will be those who will be having deep intense love with God. If we wish to stay at home,

we can as Allah will create a nation who themselves will move towards martyrdom.

Today the protests which are going on, the best part is that these protests have brought the nation out in the

field of Practicality. This awareness which has come up is not because of the scholars who want their names to

come up in such situations; it is because of the pure blood of the martyrs. They have given life to this nation.

The demands made by the families ofthe Martyrs in Quetta arent the ideal ones. First of all there is no point of

demanding anything from these monsters (Government) because they are the ones we should blame for the

current situation of Shias today.

Iqbal says in his poetry that I sit at the graveyard and tomb of martyrs and drop red color flowers (symbol ofMartyrdom) on their tombs because the blood of these martyrs have been very effective in building the

foundation of this nation.

We pray to Almighty and wish that such incidents dont happen but if they tend to take place as they are

expected in this current situation, we should be well equipped to face and tackle such situations with bravery

and cognizance. The household of the martyrs have demanded the army to take governance into their control.

We should not forget that Zia ul Haqq governed the nation for 11 years, and he was the one who gave the base

for terrorism. Shia target killing has started from his time. If the army takes everything in charge, is this leading

us towards salvation? The Ummah which wants and plans to be saved is always saved! Everything is in our own

very hand! Elections are going on since 60 years and they will continue because conducting elections has now

become part of our temperament and we are habitual to it. We forget all values and religious concerns when

elections come up! Our nation will never reach salvation whether they fight or they dont in the elections! Our

media is so carefree that it didnt even stop the music on news channels as a sign of pain for the oppressed

people of Quetta. Even the comedy programs kept playing according to the schedule.

ELECTIONS( ) are not the path to salvation, it is the REVOLUTION( ) which can save us!

Now more than the lives of Shias, the Ideology of Shiasm is in danger. The crocodiles are after our ideology and

the wolves are after our lives. And we should be more concerned about our Ideology than giving preference to


6/6

saving our lives. It is a universal fact that elections are going to take place but this is by no way going to solve

the current crisis! Why dont we pay off for the blood of Martyrs?

A Martyr is not a respected dead body; a martyr is alive and is giving life to nations. We have a role model of

Hezbollah today, but we feel that it is very difficult to become like them and consider them to be Heroes who

cant be Role Models! If we dont consider them for any reason, we still dont need to go very far, we have

Parachinar as a living model for us. It is a city of Determination and Resistance though after being in custody for

3 years, it has stayed so firm that no power has been able to diminish their persistence! It is a model which

should be followed and not just be discussed. It is now high time that we should start listening to the message

which is openly being given by the terrorists, government, and martyrs!

The WAR has started and there is no way out then to face, fight and tackle this war. Every category of people be

it male or female, adult or young have big responsibilities today. This war has to be fought, and we have to

defend ourselves. It is true that we arent terrorists but it is mandatory on us to save ourselves from these

terrorists. We need to stay aware and cautious and also be responsive towards our enemies by telling them that

we are ready to stand upright. These protests werent the end to the war, in fact they were just the starting line

and the real war has just begun!

In the end let us pray to Allah that He guides us on how to value the blood of these Martyrs which results in the

Salvation of the Ummah in this world and in the Hereafter.

With the Spirit of Martyrdom,
