Not long ago, a youth aged 16 years ran away from home heading for Qitaal in Afghanistan. It was hoped that he would come back to his family until he becomes a bit older and stronger, however he was very headstrong and thus he refused.

Even the Mujahideen had communicated with the youth's parents and informed him that his father and mother wished for him to return home. The youth then said that if anyone from amongst the Mujahideen wanted to guarantee the statement that Allah SWT would forgive him and make him enter Paradise on the day of Qiyaamah, then he would return!

Of course everybody was silent. Time went on and after a few months in the Jihadi Training, he was selected to accomplish a mission. The Mujahideen succeeded in causing huge damage to the enemies in this mission, however on the way back, the group was held up by the Munafiqeen and their allies, and a fight broke out. After the battle with the Munafiqeen ended, only the youth achieved Shaheed. The Mujahideen had to bring back the body of the youth.

The commander of the province felt sad by the martyrdom of the young man, not because of his sacrifice/Shaheed but because of thinking of what to be told to the parents of the youth.

His body was laid on the grass for two days, still fresh with blood and no sign of it going to be decomposed or even molded. On the third day, they managed to obtain a van for transporting the janaza of the youth and handing it over to the parents and they decided to inform about their arrival upon reaching the village not by means of any telephone communication.

The journey took one or two days, therefore by the time they arrived at the house of the Shaheed youth, it was already five days to be exact and still there was no rotten smell or blood drying up! (blood would change colors once it is out of the body).

They carried the janaza of the Shaheed youth out of the van and placed it in the main yard by his house. People started crowding and questioning and hearing news, and the Mujahideen endeavored to explain and strengthen it with Qur’anic verses and hadith, however nobody wanted to listen to them!

All of a sudden they were asked to leave the yard because the mother of the youth wished to witness the body of her son with her own eyes. Therefore, they left and waited outside at the main gateway, without knowing what would happen next, only praying in their hearts to Allah.
One of the Mujahideen heard a cry, a cry and a cry from the mother of the youth. The dear mother of the youth sat besides the janaza, with her head resting on the chest of her son while crying! Then, the story started to change and everybody was quiet and the Mujahideen shouted takbeer, “Allahu Akbar!”

The mother raised her head and looked at the women around her sitting near the Shaheed youth and said:

“All of you women cry because you are losing a nephew or a prospective son-in-law… I cry because I have lost a ticket leading to jannah (paradise). This son of mine who is now Shaheed, wished to go for Qital and I did not permit him, in fact I even contacted and ordered him to come back. But he chose to make his God happy and now I don’t have anymore share (thawab) in the fight and his death, where is my other son? Bring him to me!”

Then one of the women went and came with her other son, who was still 11 years of age. Then the mother and the son went towards the gateway where the Mujahideen were standing and waiting, and said:

“All of you, the people who had brought my son who is Shaheed. May Allah forgive all your sins and may Allah look after all of you in the path of Jihad. My son who is now Shaheed went without obtaining permissions from me and he achieved Shaheed and I do not obtain even one goodness (from it), from now on this is my other son, and the one and only son left, he is still 11 years old, therefore I beg your gentle treatment on him. And the moments the leaders are bombarded and fired at, bring this son of mine and let him be in the front line so that there is nothing that can happen to our leaders and let this son of mine be ripped apart by the rockets until I could say to Allah SWT on the day of Qiyaamah that I have surrendered one of my children for the sake of Allah SWT and Islam.”

Listening to this tidings, the Mujahideen shouted takbeer and suddenly from almost every house, a mother or a father brought their children to be given to the path of Allah SWT, however the Mujahideen had to refuse them as they did not have enough space and secondly, this thing could expose their organization.

From a house, a mother surrendered his very little boy who was only 5 years old, with a message that sounded like this:

“Use this 5 year old boy of mine, strap on and around him bombs, and let him be on the street, when the Americans meet, see and approach him, he will explode and kill a lot of Americans!”

Therefore, Brothers and Sisters, talking about Jihad is one thing, yet giving a five year old little boy for Qitaal is totally another matter.

May Allah grant you with more children, insha Allah and ameen, then they would come to the land of Qitaal, take part and rejoice by killing and terrorizing the enemies of Allah SWT! -- Sour©e: JihadMagz
