📌 How do the
#Intelligent_Ones die?!
Martyrdom in the path of
#Allah is not a simple concept; it is simultaneously strange and profound❗️
It is possible to think about it and examine its dimensions from various angles..
It may seem strange to say:
#Martyrdom is a transaction and a trade‼️
And not just an ordinary trade, but a distinctive and strange transaction.. Why strange?!
📍 Let us turn to the Holy Quran to learn more about this transaction..
#Allah, Exalted is He, says: I buy [from you] your souls‼️
"Indee
d #Allah has bought from th
e #Faithful their souls..." (Surah at-Tawbah:111)
🔺 What is the commodity of this transaction?!
It is t
he #Soul‼️
The original capital of every human being..
It is the most precious thing a person possesses..
And what does one gain from this trade?
Eternal happines
s, #Life everlasting in the highest stations of Paradise..
🔻 Who are
the #Seller
and #Buyer?!
Here lies the first strangeness‼️
One party to the transaction is the human being, and the other party is the Lord of the Worlds, who is Himself the Owner and Creator of this human being❗️
That Allah, the Owner of all dominion, should be one party to this transaction❗️
Strange—Allah buys something He already owns‼️
📍 Ice under the rays of the summer sun‼️
And here is another strange thing: Allah buys from the human being something that does not last❗️
Indeed, the human being's soul and lifespan are fleeting—whether through martyrdom or otherwise..
For no one has the power to es
cape #Death..
The commodity of this transaction is like a piece of ice that its owner wants to sell in the middle of a summer day; if he does not find a buyer, this "capital" of his will melt away and everything will be lost. So imagine that someone comes to buy this merchandise‼️
🔺 And at what price does He buy it?!
At the highest possible price—the price of Paradise❗️
Wh
y are #Martyrs the most intelligent of people?!
On the authori
ty of #Commander_of_the_Faithful (AS), he said:
"Indeed, if you are not killed, you will die.." (Al-Irshad; Vol. 1; p. 238)
🔻 Why are martyrs intelligent and perceptive?!
Because they do not let their souls go for free..
Rather, they sell them for the highest price‼️
The martyr is the one who sells his soul—which is destined to perish—for the highest price, to the best of buyers❗️
📍 All must die—the elderly and the young alike..
The martyr does not allow it to happen just any way; rather, he chooses for himself—with awareness and intelligence—a path through which Allah purchases his soul from him, and pays him Paradise and His pleasure in return..
If this is not intelligence, then what is it?!
📍 An unparalleled grace..
Allah Almighty grants those who wage jihad in His cause a magnificent, unparalleled gift: He purchases their souls—which are inevitably perishable—and gives them in return eternal life in P
aradise, #Honor and pride in this world, and countless blessings..
🚩 Alla
h "takes" #Souls, but He "purchases" the souls of the martyrs‼️
Martyrdom is the greatest grace from Allah to His servant..
The martyr is the perceptive human being..
🩸 When you look at the
image of a #Martyr, know that you are looking at the image of the one who is the most aware, intelligent, and perceptive of his time..
