The Ummah of two billion silent mourn the martyr Assinwar
By Dr. Fatima Ibrahim Al Menoufy
"وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا ۚ بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ" [ آل عمران: 169]
"And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision. Al Imran: 169
Assinwar's martyrdom didn’t sadden me as much as I did when I saw the Arab leaders in Brussels, calling on supporting the US efforts to stop the Israeli American and western genocide in Gaza and the new genocide in Lebanon. About what efforts are they talking? Its efforts in killing innocent infants, children, women and men? Its efforts in supporting the Zionists? Its efforts to wipe the Arabs off the map? Its efforts of creating a new map for the New Middle East they dream of? Its efforts to subjugate and destroy them? Victory comes only from Allah. We do not need political or sectarian affiliation to differentiate between the right from the wrong. Assinwar’s martyrdom is a sign of the truth of Allah's promise.
The Zionist propaganda claimed that the Assinwar hided in underground tunnels among hostages, but Allah SWT made them expose their lies and document them by themselves. Allah the Almighty wanted the Zionists to document Assinwar's heroism with their own hands and tongues, by the pictures and videos they published. Undoubtedly, those videos and pictures show that he was shot in the forehead and the head, not in the back. He died while he was advancing forward without retracing back, he was embracing his ammunition. This picture of his martyrdom will make him an icon for generations to come. Assinwar drew his martyrdom with his own hands because he realized that life is just passing moments, that death is more important than life, that victory is near, and that martyrdom is life. He was martyred to tell the cowards that freedom is a decision, to tell them that he didn’t fear death, that there was no compromise and no neutrality for him. He met his creator as a brave hero; he died fighting among his soldiers not hiding in tunnels as they claimed.
(وَكَأَيِّن مِّن نَّبِيٍّ قَاتَلَ مَعَهُ رِبِّيُّونَ كَثِيرٌ فَمَا وَهَنُوا لِمَا أَصَابَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَمَا ضَعُفُوا وَمَا اسْتَكَانُوا ۗ وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الصَّابِرِينَ﴾ [ آل عمران: 146]
"And how many a prophet [fought and] with him fought many religious scholars. But they never lost assurance due to what afflicted them in the cause of Allah, nor did they weaken or submit. And Allah loves the". Al Imran: 146
His martyrdom will be a legacy for generations to come, it is the most beautiful painting of martyrdom, a painting full of heroism, honesty and love for encountering his Lord, a painting full of faith and certainty, a painting full of belief in God’s promise, a painting that exposes their lies that accuse honorable people of hiding underground, a painting that tells them: We are here in wait for you, we do not fear the forces of your evil, a painting full of heroism and pride, a painting of dignity and arrogance, a painting that reminds us of the honorable companions, reminds us of the era of the noble Messenger of Allah PBUH, reminds us of our great past, a painting mixed with the most sublime colors of martyrdom.
"قُلْ هَلْ تَرَبَّصُونَ بِنَا إِلَّا إِحْدَى الْحُسْنَيَيْنِ ۖ وَنَحْنُ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمْ أَن يُصِيبَكُمُ اللَّهُ بِعَذَابٍ مِّنْ عِندِهِ أَوْ بِأَيْدِينَا ۖ فَتَرَبَّصُوا إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّتَرَبِّصُونَ"[ التوبة: 52]
"Say: "Do you wait for us (anything) except one of the two best things (martyrdom or victory); while we await for you either that Allah will afflict you with a punishment from Himself or at our hands. So wait, we too are waiting with you" Attawba: 52
With the martyrdom of each hero, hearts crack and some imagine that the enemies are victorious, fear intensifies and some Muslims, think that victory is far away, and perhaps suspicions become bad; but we must remind ourselves of what Allah SWT has promised us in the Holy Quran:
﴿أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا يَأْتِكُم مَّثَلُ الَّذِينَ خَلَوْا مِن قَبْلِكُم ۖ مَّسَّتْهُمُ الْبَأْسَاءُ وَالضَّرَّاءُ وَزُلْزِلُوا حَتَّىٰ يَقُولَ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ مَتَىٰ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا إِنَّ نَصْرَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ﴾ [ البقرة: 214]
2:214 "Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said, "When is the help of Allah?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near". Al Baqara: 214
(وَأُخْرَىٰ تُحِبُّونَهَا ۖ نَصْرٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ﴾ [ الصف: 13]
"And [you will obtain] another [favor] that you love - victory from Allah and an imminent conquest; and give good tidings to the believers". Assaf: 13
The Ummah of believers does not die with the martyrdom of one of its thousands of leaders, but rather it produces thousands of leaders, and its strength will not be weakened by the martyrdom of a resistance fighter or hundreds, because victory and then martyrdom are the goals of the believers. Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the leader Abdul Aziz al-Rantisi, the Palestinian fighter and martyr Yahya Ayyash, the explosives engineer, who was one of the most prominent leaders of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, have gone, then the sons of the leader Hanniyeh have gone during his lifetime, but their martyrdom only increased his strength and determination, then the martyr hero Ismail Hanniyeh himself has gone, and the martyr Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, and today the hero leader Assinwar has gone, who met his Lord as a resistance fighter holding his weapon, fighting among his soldiers, fighting all the enemies, all the soldiers of evil who gathered to eliminate this Ummah, he died as a martyr defending his land, his honor, and religion, he died as a martyr defending the coward Ummah.
Abu Ubaidah said: If assassinations were a victory, the resistance would have ended since the assassination of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam 90 years ago. We work with the will of Allah and under His Care. A leader is succeeded by leaders, a soldier by ten, and a martyr by a thousand of resistance fighters. This land produces resistance fighters as it produces olive branches.
The battle that is taking place now is not being fought by the Zionists alone, nor is it against the Palestinians alone; rather, the forces of evil have gathered, united to eliminate this entire Ummah; the Ummah that has failed to play its role; that has failed to support its oppressed brothers, that has forgotten its great past, that has accepted humiliation and disgrace. It is a war of extermination to change the map of the Middle East to realize the dream of the Zionists and subjugate and humiliate the Arabs and Muslims.
The Messenger of Allah PBUH said: "The people will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their dish. Someone asked: Will that be because of our small numbers at that time? He replied: No, you will be numerous at that time: but you will be scum and rubbish like that carried down by a torrent, and Allah will take fear of you from the breasts of your enemy and last enervation into your hearts. Someone asked: What is wahn (enervation). Messenger of Allah PBUH replied: Love of the world and dislike of death". Related by Abu Da’wud, 4297 and others. Grade: Sahih, Al-Albani
This Ummah will not succeed until death is more beloved to it than this worldly life, until it overcomes its slavery to money and power until it returns to the Book of Allah.
Thousands, even millions, of martyrs chosen by Allah SWT have gone, the powers of evils imagined that they have eliminated the resistance and silenced the mouths, but Allah allows them to become more and more lost, to do more and more wrong, so they remain confused and doubtful about the truth, and to wander blindly. Even if they kill 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, there are still 4 million scattered throughout the world. Killing Assinwar or other heroes will never eliminate the cause.
