Martyrs are not dead!

 My nana (mom's chacha) was going for Ziyarat of Imam Reza (as) when he was martyred in bus along with other pilgrims due to bomb blast. All of them were heading towards Iran from Quetta. 

Few days back another bus of pilgrims was targeted who were coming back from Iran after Ziyarat .

I don't know..but when i heard this news .. a thought appeared in my mind about my nana..

Despite the grief.. i felt sorry for him..he couldn't go for ziyarat .. couldn't reach his destination... couldn't fulfill his last wish..i  thought "becharay ziyarat k bad shaheed ho jatay.. ziyarat tu kr laity" 
(O! Poor soul, wish that you have been martyred after the pilgrim)

Next day i had a dream ... I saw him in my dream..wearing a beautiful white dress, coming back from some place.. looking contented and satisfied... I asked him "app kahan sy a rahy hein?" 

He said: "Beti! Mein Imam Reza (as) ki ziyarat krk a raha houn" 

(Daughter! I am coming back after the Ziyarat of Imam Reza (as))

I was left in amazement during dream and when I woke up too...

I asked for forgiveness afterwards...why I thought like this for a martyr..

Later i realized he didn't tell me .. mein imam k roazay ki ziyarat kr aya .. rather he said mein imam ki ziyarat kr aya...! 

He did not tell that he had the ziyarat of shrine of Imam Reza (as), (as I wished for him) rather he had the opportunity to meet the Imam (as)!

Quran 3:169–170: Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord; They rejoice in the bounty provided by Allah.

Children remained safe?

 They report "attackers targeted their father while he was taking his children to school" and then they tell me "children remained safe because attackers targeted only their father"

Please tell me .... are they safe?

does safe mean to keep breathing only?

to keep using your five senses? 

to be able to do all tasks which differentiates a living organism from a non-living organism?

can't you see the trauma ?

can't you feel the emptiness in their eyes?

can't you see the hands longing to hold the hands of their father while going to school?

can't you tell how they would go to school next time?

how they will forget the moment of seeing their father killed in front of their eyes?

How orphans feel safe???

"I saw nothing but beauty"

 These words of Lady Zainab (SA) came to my rescue 

To help me survive

To keep me going

To inspire me 

How can seeing be equivalent to listening? 

How can reading makes a similar impact like experiencing? 

Hold your emotions and let the fragrance of martyr's blood disseminates

let it reach to the people who are deaf and blind 

Close your eyes and think about Zainab (sa)

feel her patience 

try to grasp her emotions 

her light will guide you!

The tale of love

 They tell me you were shot dead, killed, died on spot...

You were attacked for your faith, your name , your identity...

They tell me you were targeted... direct bullets in your head , in your face, in your chest...

They tell me you were stopped... identified...and then killed 

Killed while dropping your child to school 

Parent killed in front of child 

Child killed in front of parents

Why they hate you? 

Why they kill you?

Why? 

For the love of Ali? 

For having a beautiful name like Ali, Hassan, Hussain...? 

Are they afraid of your growth?

Are they afraid of your fragrance? 

Love of Ali keeps you scented

This fragrance spreads.. 

It attracts butterflies, birds and people with pure souls 

I don't believe they can kill the smell of flower🌹

No they cannot kill you 

can love get killed?

You are the beautiful flowers in heaven
