Okay, so I want to make a very important clarification about this
because number one, we're calling people who die through the COVID
Acia heat. But then we're saying we have to give them goosal.
Whereas it's known that those who are the proper Shahidi, those who
are proper martyrs, they are not given muscle, they actually buried
in their own gun in their own clothing. And according to,
according to some humans, you don't even prey on them, while
Imam Abu Hanifa says you should prey on them. So one thing we have
to understand is that
this
the Shaheed who is not given a bath, a washing, and shrouding in
an in a white shroud as such, but they're buried with their own
blood and everything, or those who die in the battlefield, like a
proper battlefield. I know this seems like a battlefield. But this
is not the battlefield that is mentioned. It's the battlefield of
a war, like a physical war of some sort. So the those guys are
considered, those people are considered Shahid of this world
and the Hereafter, right because they died in a very particular
circumstance. Now, that is the ideal that is now being referenced
in the Hadith literature. Right? That is the model that's been
referenced and other statements are being made in the Quran and
the Sunnah, in relationship to this, because people knew now what
it was to die in the path of Allah in a battle, huge reward. So now
the prophets of Allah is seem to give a lot of optimism and good
hope to a lot of other people who died in a natural circumstances,
like the plague, right, like the plague, for example, or through
pregnancy, or through being crushed. In an accident. For
example, most unnatural causes, there's about up to 70 such
categories of people mentioned with reference to the Shaheed of
this one, which is the one who dies in battle was not given a
bath, but these people are given a bath, they have to be shrouded
properly, and then they have to be buried. You do the janazah prayer
on them, but from the hero, they will rise on the Day of Judgment
like the other shaheed. But there's a different
categorization. It's like saying that, if you do a shamrock pray in
the morning, after, after sunrise, you will get the reward of our
Omura. Clearly the reward of Amara has its own place in relationship
to that, relative to that and saying you will get the base
reward of that at least. Whereas when you go ombre, there's be
multiplication of reward above that as well, including the ombre.
So don't misunderstand this. We're getting a lot of calls and
comments online that why are you even bothering bathing the disease
in a COVID situation that they are, if they're Shaheed then they
shouldn't be buried. So people are misunderstanding that and kind of
cross referencing these things in an incorrect way. These people
have to be bathed because they are shades of the Hereafter, just like
a pregnant woman who dies during giving birth or in pregnancy.
Right? And likewise, the the, and so on. So even though the Hadith
says our own, the one who's in a Torah when a plague is a Shaheed
right and many people are using this hadith, too. So I got a
question today that if people are using this hadith to say people in
this
pandemic, which is not a proper plague, they're using this hadith
to say the people are shaheed in this. Shaheed, according to this
hadith, then this causes a bit of confusion because the prophets are
awesome said that the Tharun the plague in particular, will never
enter Makkah Makana, Madina Munawwara whereas this one has
because this is not a plague then we say so, how do you reconcile
that idea that if this is a plague, it can enter Madina
Munawwara so this is not a plague, but they were caught using the
same How do you say people who are in this same afflicted by this
same pandemic? Virus, right.
Shaheed by virtue of the Hadith, so that's not to be taken
literally. They're saying that just like, the real meaning of
this is that just like, people in a plague are a shaheed. And
because they're dying of this kind of unnatural cause, while this is
not a plague, but we're hoping because you can only hope for
these things. There's no guarantee about who's a shahid in the path
of Allah anyway. Right? There's no There's no guarantee, the only
thing we guarantee that if somebody dies, fighting in the
path of Allah, they the only guarantee thing is that you have
to deal with them in a different way because that's a physical
aspect. But whether he's accepted or not, is up to Allah. With all
of his efforts and dying for dying in the path is was even accepted.
Allah knows best. If, if some of these crazy people who do crazy
things and they think themselves are shaheed they may not be
Shaheed in the sight of Allah because they've done a crazy
thing. They are not a Shaheed in fact, so likewise here only Allah
knows best who's the Shaheed This is the what optimism that Allah
has told us to have that hopefully they're Shaheed so it's not that
they're Shaheed because they in a plague, but
because they're in a illness, right and there's numerous other
are actually I only got this question this morning I've not had
a chance to look up the 70 category and see which other
categories that COVID Patients may fall into. And again, that's also
going to be based on their sub and patients. Somebody who dies in
this complaining about Allah and miserable and feeling abused and
oppressed. They're not going to get the Shaheed because Shaheed
being a shahid requires a certain hope in Allah,
a certain hoping Allah then that person is considered the matter.
So there's quite a few separate different ideas here that need to
be understood well. So please stop saying that these people are that
Shaheed, which is not paved, these people do have to be bathed as
long as you know we can bathe them as long as the according to the
way the law, the way the health professionals are guiding us to do
that.
