🕊️Shoq Shahadat Kee Inteha| A Powerful Story of Love for Martyrdom
When the subject of martyrdom is brought up, the first thing that comes to mind is the love for God and His Messenger, which is the greatest faith in Islam. Through martyrdom, a person does not only shows courage but also a divine love for God. The tale of martyrdom in the Battle of Badr is a very powerful and thrilling one, as it is the story of a father and his son giving their lives for Islam.
Description
In the year 2 AH, when the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was going to Badr, two of his staunchest companions were in a dilemma. The already mentioned Khathima bin Harith (RA) and his son Saad bin Khathima (RA), both members of the midland tribe of the Ansar (Aws), were the ones.
The father and the son were very much resolved to join the battle alongside the Prophet ﷺ. The father, being the father of the son, wanted to stay back and look after the family, while the son asked for permission to go to the battleground along with the holy war fighters in the hope of attaining martyrdom and entering Heaven.
Finally, they decided to draw lots for it. Up came Saad bin Khathima’s (RA) name. He went to Badr full of good spirits. In the fight, he was very brave and was finally killed, thus fulfilling his burning wish for martyrdom.
In the year 3 AH, during the battle of Uhud, the father of Khathima bin Harith (RA) was moved by the same desire and went to fight. Allah also answered his prayer, and he was killed, thus being united with his son in Heaven.
