Shahadat

For an American the highest state one can attain is to get a Phd. However, for a Muslim it differs. The highest state we can attain is shahadat (marytrdom). The concept, often misunderstood, is the most sublime of actions. Every Ashura when the story of Imam Hussein is re-told, we mourn and lament the fact that we were not present to help him in fighting the accursed Yazid. The story of Karbala and Imam Hussein is the most humbling story and the greatest inspiration for those who aspire to be shaheeds. What can be said about a man like Imam Hussein who the night before the battle told all those in his camp that they only wanted his life and everyone else was free to go. Imam Hussein told them whoever wanted to leave now could and asked the candles to be put out as not to embarass anyone who deserted. Yet, when the candles were re-lit noone had left. One of Imam Hussein's companions replied if they were killed 70 times and made alive again they will still prefer to achieve martrydom with him than live amongst a tyrant like Yazid. How can anyone not be humbled by this? Imagine being Imam Hussein and watching your entire family slaughtered before your very eyes before you yourself are killed.

1300 years later this same story is what moved the Iranian volunteers in the imposed war by the criminal Saddam. It is no wonder the Iranians liekened Saddam to Yazid and chanted Marg bar Saddam e Yazed e Kaffar (death to the Yazidi infidel Saddam). The spirit of Ashura was always present in the battlefield and many of the soldiers had the anticipation of arriving in Karbala after the liberation of Khoramshahr. Whenever I watch old clips of the war I am moved. I am humbled. Tears are always present. But at same time I am in an excited state. Those clips serve as source of inspiration to me. It's kind of selfish, but a few years ago when the drums of war were being beaten and much talk was made about America going to war with Iran, I saw this as my chance to finally be a shaheed. I was like this is it. The one chance I may truly have at attaining the sublime state and what greater enemy to have to fight then the Great Satan, America herself. I would have dreams at night about being in Jebheh (frontlines) with the soldiers. Many people may think im twisted for desiring such a thing. But such people will never understand the mindset of a shaheed. Such people will never understand the statements of mothers during the Iran-Saddam war who had 4 sons martyred and asked Allah to grant her another one so that he can become a martyr as well.

I personally don't think I am prepared or worthy enough even of being a shaheed, but nevertheless the desire continues to persist however unworthy and spiritually unready I may be. Nor do I believe the oppurtunity has ceased either. The greatest of all battles for any Muslim will be the march to liberate Al-Quds and subsequently pray in congregation at the Al-Aqsa. What a glorious feeling it would be indeed to destroy the bloodsucking zionist regime.
