It is very difficult for a person who is stuck in the affairs of this world and attached to his belongings to understand the beauty of the hidden treasures of the heavens, and any migration that would mean cutting off from this world is very frightening for him. But for those who have liberated themselves from the clutches of worldly desires, migration (death for the cause of Allah the Almighty) is not equal to annihilation (ولا تحسبن الذین قتلوا فی سبیل الله امواتا بل احیاء), and rather it means eternal life with endless beauty (ما رایت الا جمیلا). This after-death life, and the beauty that emerges from that apparent fear, is a beautiful paradox that earthly systems and schools of thought are not only unable to comprehend its greatness but have also failed to find any answers to how it would be. And, of course, what resolves the mystery of this paradox is nothing but the connection of the earthly man to the origin of the beloved beauty of the Creator of the universe. He (the Exalted; the Majestic) is the witness; the witness to all that is hidden and visible, the outward and the inward, and the overt and covert of His servants. And He is the one who knows and recognizes those who truly love Him from the those who simply claim it… And is the reward of true lovers anything other than proximity (عند ربهم یرزقون) and companionship (وادخلی جنتی) with the beloved? And can the one who loves Him imagine this companionship to be anything other than fading away in the beauty of the beloved? (فرحین بما اتیهم الله من فضله) Yes, these lovers of the True Love and these martyred witnesses are resting next to their Beloved One so that they can witness both the beauty of God Almighty and be a witness to us, the earthly beings (یستبشرون بالذین لم یلحقوا بهم من خلفهم). But this witnessing is not like the other forms of it; it is a promising and an enthusiastic one. (لا خوف علیهم ولا هم یحزنون) Yes, this is the status of a martyr, and this is the status of the culture of martyrdom (الله جمیل و یحب الجمال) and blessed are those who enter the ranks of the lovers of the Beautiful Witness by their pen and their art. Oh God, please make us the companions of our martyrs in the hereafter. Ayoub Dehghankar, the son of martyr Ali Mohammad Dehghankar, one of the martyrs of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance
And the martyr was the name He chose for those who love Him No. 275 | September 2021 | ||||
