Here we will revive the dyin' as-sahwah board insha'Allah. Provide a nice quote (ayah, hadith or whatever), but REFERENCE IT!!!
My favourite is...
"Oh my brothers, what can we say? Because of our grief, our tears are coming down. Our tears are coming down, on a friendship that is based on love and brotherhood." (In The Hearts Of Green Birds)

Assalamualaikum,
Abdullah Ibn Mubarak wrote in a letter to Al-Fudayl Ibn Iyaadh:
"Oh you who offer prayer in the sacred mosque!
Had you witnessed us in the battlefield
You would know that, compared to our Jihaad,
Your worship is child's play.
For every tear you have shed upon your cheek,
We have shed in its place blood upon our chests.
You are playing with your worship,
While worshipers offer your worship,
Mujahideen offer their blood and person."
Wassalam

Masha'Allah this one is definately one of my favourites:
(The Will of Shaykh Azzam)
"Oh you Muslims! You have slept for a long time, long enough for the tyrants to take control over you. You accepted to live as slaves and submitted to tyrants. Now the time has come to revolt and destroy the shackle of slavery."

Salaam,
Jazakumullah khairan for the above quotes.
I love this one:
Indeed, tears come to our eyes when we remember the dua one of the Mujahideen was making during the pain and suffering in Gul Agha's torture camp. "O Allah! O our Lord! We have not come here for any reason except to raise Your word, except to fight against the people who are killing the ones who say "Laa ilaaha illallaah (There is no God but Allah)". O Allah, make this torture easy upon us. O Allah! let not any of our brothers or sisters taste a bit of this torture. O Allah, we know that Your paradise is not cheap, but Allah we are weak, we are weak, O our Lord, the Most High" (qoqaz.net)

"Hiya maytatun waahidah, fal takun fee sabeelillah"
The death is only once, so let it be in the Path of Allah.
This quote is said by Sheikh Abdullah Azzam in the Arabic version of the 'Martyrs of Bosnia' Part 1.
By Sohail on Monday, May 27, 2002 - 10:42 pm: Edit
"History does not write its lines except with blood. Glory does not build its loft edifice except with skulls, Honour and respect cannot be established except on a foundation of cripples and corpses. Empires, distinguished peoples, states and societies cannot be established except with examples. Indeed those who think that they can change reality, or change societies, without blood, sacrifices and invalids, without pure, innocent souls, then they do not understand the essence of this Deen and they do not know the method of the best of the Messengers (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)."
[Sheikh Abdullah Azzam, taken from 'Martyrs: The Building Blocks of Nations', www.azzam.com]
By Abu Ilyas (Abuilyas) on Tuesday, May 28, 2002 - 10:04 pm: Edit
Abdullah Azzam wrote in 'The Signs of Ar-Rahmaan in the Jihad of the Afghan', when he was asked whether the Afghan Jihad was in need of men, he replied, "The Jihad is in need of money and MEN are in need of Jihad"

Salaam,
Jazakullah khairan brothers. In reference to the above quote Masha'Allah , I read this in the e-book "Sword of Allah"
www.swordofallah.com
that Khalid (RA) asked an unnamed friend to examine his body (excluding his `awrah) and find one hand-span not covered with a wound. His friend could not. Khalid (RA) was lamenting why he could not therefore have died in battle. Here is the firaasah (clear-sightedness) displayed by his friend Masha'Allah, when he said:
"When the Messenger of Allah, on whom be the blessings of Allah and peace, named you Sword of Allah, he predetermined that you would not fall in battle. If you had been killed by an unbeliever it would have meant that Allah's sword had been broken by an enemy of Allah; and that could never be."

there are two I love, neither are quotes...
"...I would love to be martyred in Al1ah's Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred".
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 54:
Narrated by Abu Huraira:
the other, which is too long to type out is the story of Sa'ad bin abi waqas[ra] when he took his army accross the river tigris. A kaffir saw and screamed 'diwaana diwaana'!
That made me laugh.
a true personification of loving death more than life- indeed trusting in Allah.

Assalamualaikum,
Another excellent quote, piece of advice from Shaykh Azzam:
"Oh you Muslim women! Beware of extravagence, for it is the enemy of Jihaad and it causes the death of the human soul. Beware of complementary commodities and stick to the basic necessities.
Bring up your children to be brave and courageous. Let your houses be places for lions not chicken farms in which your sons will be fed then slaughtered by tyrants like sheep. Instill in the hearts of your sons the love for Jihaad and the love of battlefields. Share the problems of Muslim Ummah. Live one day a week like refugees and Mujahideen live. They live on dry bread and tea."

When the time of Khalid ibn Al-Waleed, r.a., came to depart from the world, he said: "I reached every possible place for Shahadah, but it was written in my fate that I should die on my bed. In my opinion there is no deed more dearer than my waiting with my horse and shield in the darkness of night, the sky to be glittering due to the rain, waiting for the onset of dawn, so that I can attack the enemy."

Jazakumullahu khairan to all. Nice to see another sis here Masha'Allah. U know this hadith above? Someone had written it in Urdu in Madinah Book1 (yellow cover). This was in the chapter teaching "min ayna anta?" (where r u from)?" showing an example of Mandarin and Urdu. How's that for bein' sneaky Masha'Allah?!!! Saudi published it unaware!!!! Of course one of the urdu speaking Saudi-Govt spies must've eventually spotted it and removed it, as it's not in the latest printed version (blue and red book)! Still I read it (struggling) in the old one and was really laughing!!!
Anyway, back to the subject, I really like this quote by Ibnul Khattab (RA).
"In the 1980's the martyred Sheikh Abdullah Azzam coined a phrase whose meaning reverberates today across the battlefields of Chechnya. he described the Mujaahideen who were killed in battle as joining the "Caravan of Martyrs"
(It's on the back of Shaykh Azzam's "Join The Caravan" - published by Azzam.
Insha'Allah our brother Ibnul-Khatttab has himself now joined this caravan, having begun the final journey to his Rabb.

Assalamualaikum,
On the authority of Anas bin Malik (RA), the Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said:
"Whosoever fights in a single battle in the Path of Allah has rendered unto
Allah all acts of obedience. "So whosoever wills, then let him believe and
whosoever wills then let him disbelieve. Indeed we have prepared for the
wrongdoers a fire." [Quran 18:29]. The Companions asked: "After this hadith
that we have heard from you, who will then abandon Jihad and sit behind?" He
(SAWS) said: "Those whom Allah has cursed, His Anger is upon and for whom He
has prepared a severe punishment are a people who will appear near the end
of time and they will deny Jihad. My Lord has taken an oath upon Himself that
He will not break, that whichever of His servants meets him in such a state,
He will punish him in such a way that He has not punished anyone in the
Universe."
[Ibn Asakir transmitted it in the section: 'The Seriousness of Abandoning
Jihad.' (Mashari-ul-Ashwaq by Ibn Nuhaas, Vol. 1, P. 107)]
On the authority of Zaid bin Aslam Al-Adawi (RA) from his father (RA), the
Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said: "Jihad will remain sweet and green as long as
rain continues to drop from the sky, yet there will come upon the people a
time when their scholars will say: 'This is not the time for Jihad.' So
whoever witnesses this time then let him know that this is the best time for
Jihad." The Companions asked: "O Messenger of Allah (SAWS), will anyone really
say that?" He (SAWS) replied: "Yes, he upon whom is the curse of Allah, His
Angels and all of mankind."

It is a very famous and well-known statement.

Jihaad Al-Nafs comes in the battlefield as the Mujaahid Sheikh Abdullah Azzam and Ibn Qayyim says "Jihaad Al-Nafs is to learn and act upon it " So if you learnt about Jihaad and you do this great deed you are doing Jihaad Al-Nafs...
But please don't tell me Jihaad Al-Nafs is to "struggle against your innerself" and that is "better than Jihaad with the rifle"!

"Verily, Allâh has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allâh's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur'ân. And who is truer to his covenant than Allâh? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success." [Qur'an 9:111]

Jihad of the nafs is the lesser type. But of course it takes a hell of a lot of jihad of the nafs to get and stay on the battle-field.
----------------------------------------------
Greater and 'Lesser' Jihad?
By Abu Khubayb and Abu Zubayr
THE SLANDERED JIHAD
Among the erroneous notions aimed at stifling the spirit of Jihad in this Ummah is the idea of 'greater' and 'lesser' Jihads. According to this belief, striving against desires of the self is considered the Greater Jihad, which makes the Jihad of the battlefield the Lesser Jihad. This idea is based upon a story mentioned by al Khatib al Baghdadi in his book, "The History of Baghdad", by way of Yahya ibn al 'Ala', who said,
"We were told by Layth, on the authority of 'Ata', on the authority of Abu Rabah, on the authority of Jabir, who said, 'The Prophet (salallaahu 'alayhee wa sallam) returned from one of his battles, and thereupon told us, 'You have arrived with an excellent arrival, you have come from the Lesser Jihad to the Greater Jihad - the striving of a servant (of Allah) against his desires.''"
This concept, despite the fact that it is based on a hadeeth, can be refuted from several aspects, of which we shall mention the following.
Firstly:
This hadeeth cannot be used to establish proof, for Al Bayhaqi has said regarding it, "Its chain of narration is weak. (Da'eef)", Al Suyuti also pronounced a verdict of weakness on it in his book, "Al Jam'i al Saghir".
Somebody might claim that da'eef (weak) Ahadeeth can be accepted in matters of supererogatory virtuous deeds. This is unacceptable, for we do not believe that Jihad can be a supererogatory deed. Indeed, how can it be so when the Messenger of Allah (salallaahu 'alayhee wa sallam) has said that the asceticism of his Ummah lies in Jihad?
Furthermore, anybody who follows up on Yahya ibn al 'Ala', the narrator of the hadeeth, will find in his biography things which will make him forsake the man's Ahadeeth. Ibn Hajar al 'Asqalani said about him in "Al-Taqrib",
"He was accused of forging Ahadeeth."
Al Dhahabi said in "Al-Mizan",
"Abu Hatim said that he is not a strong narrator, Ibn Mu'in classified him as weak, al Daraqutni said that he is to be neglected, and Ahmad ibn Hanbal said that he is a liar and a forger of Ahadeeth."
Secondly:
This hadeeth explicitly contradicts clear verses of the Qur'an. Allah the Mighty, the Majestic, says, (Translation of the Meaning),
"Those believers who sit back are not equal to those who perform Jihad in the Path of Allah with their wealth and their selves. Allah has favored those who perform Jihad with their wealth and their selves by degrees over those who sit back. To both (groups) has Allah promised good, but Allah has favored the mujahideen with a great reward, by ranks from Him, and with Forgiveness, over those who sit back. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful." Qur'an [4:95-96]
Thirdly:
This hadeeth contradicts mutawatir (mass-narrated) Ahadeeth which have been reported from the Prophet (salallaahu 'alayhee wa sallam), and which make plain the excellence of Jihad. We will mention a few of these.
"A morning or an evening spent in the Path of Allah is better than the world and all it contains."
[Bukhari and Muslim]
"Standing for an hour in the ranks of battle in the Path of Allah is better than standing for sixty years (in prayer)." [Sahih al- Jami']
Abu Hurayrah (radiallaahu 'anhu) said,
"Is any of you able to stand in prayer without stopping, and to fast continuously for as long as he lives?" The people said, "Oh Abu Hurayrah! Who could endure that?" He said, "By Allah! A day of a mujahid in the Path of Allah is better than that."
The claim of those who say that the 'struggle against the self' is the Greater Jihad because the individual is put to test by day and by night, may be refuted by the following hadeeth:
On the authority of Rashid, on the authority of Sa'd (radiallaahu 'anhu), on the authority of one of the Companions, that a man said, "Oh Messenger of Allah! Why is it that the believers are all put to trial in their graves, except for the martyrs?" He (salallaahu 'alayhee wa sallam) said, "The clashing of swords above his head was sufficient trial for him." [Sahih al-Jam'i]
Fourthly:
This erroneous and slanderous notion involves injustice and wrong to the status of the Mujahideen. Allah (Ta'aala) has ordered us to practice justice in our verdicts, saying, (Translation of the Meaning),
"Be just, it is closer to piety; and fear Allah. Allah is aware of what you do." Qur'an [5:8]
Is it any part of justice and fair treatment for us to say that our brethren in the land of attention and battle are in a lesser Jihad when the mines are exploding beneath their feet, with the result that their bodies fly into the air, and their limbs and blood are scattered all over, to the extent that their pure corpses cannot be contained in a grave?
And that is for the sake of Allah, and if He wills, He may bless the limbs of a body torn to pieces.
Were these youths in a lesser Jihad, while our fasting, and breaking our fasts on the most delicious of food are then a greater Jihad?
By Allah! This is an unequal measure, and if you were to put the matter before the most knowledgeable people on earth, they would never arrive at such a disparate verdict.
Fifthly:
The Egyptian, Dr. Muhammad Amin says, in his book, "The Path of Islamic Propagation",
"Jihad of the self and Jihad by wealth, if they do not lead one to establish the Call of Truth, and to stand beside it, enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong, and contributing one's life and wealth in the Path of Allah, are deficient Jihads containing inadequacy. It is astonishing that the hour of testing and of severity, in which the feet are shaken and the heart reaches the throat, can be called the Hour of the Lesser Jihad, while the hours of safety and comfort in secure homes, in the midst of one's family and friends, can be called hours of the Greater Jihad! In the like of such appellations do the holders-back rejoice in their sitting behind from obeying the Messenger of Allah (salallaahu 'alayhee wa sallam) and his Companions (radiallaahu 'anhum)? Such people find contentment and comfort in this way, while in reality they only deceive their weak souls, for the true values of the deeds are entirely the opposite."
Finally, we conclude with some verses which were sent by the mujahid scholar 'Abdullaah ibn al Mubarak, from the land of Jihad to his friend Al Fudayl ibn 'Iyad, who used to preach to the rulers and make them cry, yet did not seek any payment, being a sincere worshipper.
Oh worshipper in the Two Sanctuaries, if you could only behold us, You would see that you, in your devotions, are only playing. If you are one whose cheek is tinged with his tears, Then our chests are dyed with our blood.
"ONE OF MY FAVOURITES IMAMS ABDULLAH IBN MUBARAK"
The Pretended Jihad
Some people may be astonished when they hear a person describing Jihad in person as a lesser Jihad, or who deems fighting in the Path of Allah (Ta'aala) little in comparison to other acts of devotion. However, if we pursue the lives of these people, look at their histories and investigate the reason for their confusion regarding the matter, we will find that the explanation for their stance is simple. These are the people who people undervalue Jihad and give priority to studying in universities, writing in magazines, and giving speeches in conferences over fighting and being martyred. By examining their lives, one will find a common denominator, which brings them together in deficiency and unites them in their viewpoint.
The common denominator among the feeble and those who hold back from Jihad (the people of theories and concepts) is that they have not participated in Jihad. The opportunity has not presented itself to these people (by the Will of Allah Ta'aala), nor have they had the good fortune to join a camp of mujahideen. In such a camp there is a lack of luxuries and a scarcity of necessities which would make them feel the difference between a day in the camp and a similar day in the university with its food, entertainment, and air-conditioned class rooms.
How can these people recognize the true value of Jihad when they have not participated in the regiments of war nor entered into the arenas of tumult?
If a man plunges into a single battle, it will be sufficient to correct all his misconceptions. The mujahid, in only a few hours, may see things whose horror would make children gray haired: bombs and splinters sweeping away the souls of the most beloved of his Brethren who shared with him his traveling, training, ribaat (guarding the front line), and Jihad. What will be the situation of these people when the rockets and shells are exploding over their heads and beneath their feet? How will it be when they see with their very own eyes the scattering of arms, legs and intestines so that a healthy body with well-proportioned limbs will become handicapped, dismembered, or paralyzed?
This then is the underlying reason for the confusion on the part of those who underrate Jihad.
In a few hours or days, the mujahid sees, with his own eyes, such hardships, trials, and tribulations, as others do not see in decades. It will be impossible for anyone who engages in this experience of Jihad to equate physical Jihad with other pacifistic means of Da'wah. Therefore, anyone who disputes with the mujahid in the issue of Jihad or who calls people to abandon fighting should join a camp, even if only as a servant. Or he should participate in a battle even if only as a cook. Then after that, we will see if, in his opinion, the pen is equal to the Kalashnikov.

We drink the intoxicating drink of Shahaada.
This living is not living,
We live by having our heads cut off;
We are not repressed by falsehood, this is our Eemaan
We diminish falsehood;
We love the Deen, and believe in the giving of gifts
When we give gifts,
We give our lives.

On hearing that the Pakistani goverment wanted to clamp down on the fund raising for the Jihadi movements:
(Paraphrasing what i remember from the tape in urdu)
"If the government thinks it will chase those who raise funds and remove the collection boxes. Then I say to them do your worst you may stop all of this but how will you stop that Hand that sends rizq to the mujahideen from the seventh heavens?"

If I get cut down in the battlefield, don’t even say uff. Bear my departure with patience oh mother.
I have lived with desire for Shahaada in my heart, I have wanted to drink this drink Shahaada, now watch how I drink this fine drink
If I get cut down in the battlefield, don’t even say uff. Bear my departure with patience oh mother.
If they cut my ears, even take out my eyes, and cut my nose and make a necklace - then remember the ameer of the shaheed Humza (RA)
If I get cut down in the battlefield, don’t even say uff. Bear my departure with patience oh mother.
If the loss of my life at a young age irritates you, my shroud less buried body comes to mind - then remember the Shahaada of Musaab Ibn Umair (RA)
If I get cut down in the battlefield, don’t even say uff. Bear my departure with patience oh mother.
After me let not my Kalashonkov hit the ground, be sure not to let the Hindu's even take a sigh of relief - just keep sending your sons like Khansa (RA)

I had a heated debate today on another board with a US Muslim youth with the "oh man, what should I do? Hate them?" kinda attitude about the Kaafir terrorist US govt, just because he has a US passport. The wahn is affecting the youth, the very hope of Islam.

The polytheists arrived, and the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: ‘Rise to the Paradise, whose width embraces the heavens and the earth!" Umayr bin al Humam said: ‘Hurrah!’ The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: ‘What impels you to say "Hurrah! hurrah!" He said: ‘Nothing, O Messenger of Allah, except the hope that I may be one of its people.’ He said: ‘You are indeed one of its people.’"
He (Abu Hurayrah) said:
"And he [Umayr] took out some dates from his quiver and began eating them. Then he said: ‘If I live long enough to eat all my dates, my life will indeed be a long one!’ So he flung away the remaining dates, and fought until he was slain." Transmitted by Muslim.

"When Allah chooses one of the brothers for martyrdom or takes the life of one of our beloved children, who have participated with us in this path, I cry for myself because these people have preceded us and this is a sign that we are not yet worthy for martyrdom. It is a clear proof that we are not yet suitable for this high rank. Allah (SWT) chose these people and I observed that these people shared common traits: good feelings towards the Muslims and awareness of what they say to their Muslim brothers and sisters. You would not find them wasting their time because their deeds occupied them; their faults busied them from the faults of the people, so congratulations for him who busied himself with his faults rather than the faults of other people."
A small group: they are the ones who carry convictions for this religion. An even smaller group from this group, are the ones who flee from this worldly life in order to act upon these convictions. And an even smaller group from this elite group, are the ones who sacrifice their souls and their blood in order to bring victory to these convictions and ambitions. So they are the cream of the cream of the cream."
Sheikh Abdullah Azzam further said "It is not possible to reach glory except by traversing this Path. It is not possible for the structures of this Deen to be established, nor for its banner to be raised, nor for its vessel to be launched, except by traversing this Path. This Path is one: the Blessed Path of Jihad."

There is an unforgettable story involving Abdullah ibn Jahsh and his friend Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas concerning an incident that took place during the Battle of Uhud. Let us leave Sa'd to tell the story:
During the battle, Abdullah came to me and said, "Aren't you making a dua to God?"
"Yes," said I. So we moved aside and I prayed, "O Lord, when I meet the enemy, let me meet a man of enormous strength and fury. Then grant me victory over him that I might kill him and acquire spoils from him." To this my prayer, Abdullah said Ameen and then he prayed:
"LET ME MEET A MAN OF GREAT STANDING AND ENORMOUS FURY. I SHALL FIGHT HIM FOR YOUR SAKE, O LORD, AND HE SHALL FIGHT ME. HE SHALL TAKE ME AND CUT OFF MY NOSE AND EARS AND WHEN I MEET YOU ON THE MORROW YOU WILL SAY, "FOR WHAT WERE YOUR NOSE AND EAR CUT OFF?" AND I WOULD REPLY, "FOR YOUR SAKE AND FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR PROPHET." AND THEN YOU WOULD SAY, "YOU HAVE SPOKEN THE TRUTH . . ."Sa'd continues the story:
The prayer of Abdullah ibn Jahsh was better than mine. I saw him at the end of the day. He was killed and mutilated and in fact his nose and his ear were hung on a tree with a thread.

And like an Angel I sing in Paradise and with its rivers theirin...
These gardens are my resting place, and they are irrigated through my wounds
Like magic, and ease, and rest, O heart! What is this rest? (he is amazed at his station such that he questions his heart)
Surrounding me are the Prophets, and my martyred brothers,
And Allâh expounds on us shades of charming love.
The Light fills my eyes...
And the Hűr are on my right hand side
In the Paradise of Allâh I am given life, comparable to a thousand and one worlds
And I did not wish for anything, except that it came to me swiftly (In Paradise)
So do not say we have lost those who disappeared [martyrs] despite us not wanting them to disappear.
If there was indeed a loss in the âkhirah, then is it not best to lose me?

How can I settle for them? Above the companionship of the Prophets, the Shuhaada and the truthful.

A bedouin came to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and after accepting Islam expressed his wish to accompany him in the expedition. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) asked some of his companions to take care of him and settle his needs. When the Muslims captured one of the forts and won a large booty, the man had taken out a herd of cattle for grazing. The spoils were distributed among the combatants apportioning the Bedouin also of his share. When he was given his part, he took it to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and asked, "What is this?" The Prophet (Peace be upon him) explained that it was his share of the booty of war, but he said, "I didn't come to you for it." Then pointing to his throat he continued, "I followed you hoping that I would be hit by an arrow, entitling me of Paradise." The Prophet (Peace be upon him) replied, "If you desire it so, God will do likewise."
Then, in a subsequent battle at Khaybar the Bedouin was among those killed in the encounter. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) asked, "Is it the same man?" When the companions replied in the affirmative, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) remarked, "He was true to God and God made his wish come true." The Prophet (Peace be upon him) shrouded his corpse with his own mantle and recited the funeral service for him. Thereafter, he said, "O Allah, thy servant had come to migrate in Thy way and was killed for Thy sake. I bear witness to it."

Battle of Yarmook
Both the armies confronted each other at Yarmook. The Roman General, Mahan, scornfully addressed his counterpart, Khalid bin Waleed (ra), and said:
“It looks as if poverty, nakedness and starvation has compelled you to come here. If you wish I am willing to give each of you ten dinars, expensive clothes and good food. You can take these things and leave. Next year too I can send you these things; you do not have to take the trouble to come here.”
Khalid bin Waleed (ra) was enraged at hearing these scornful and arrogant words, and answered:
“MAHAN LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY! YOU ARE MISTAKEN ABOUT THE REASON WHY WE ARE HERE. WE ARE PEOPLE WHO DRINK THE BLOOD OF OUR OPPONENTS. WE HAVE HEARD THAT ROMAN BLOOD IS VERY DELICIOUS, AND WE HAVE COME HERE TO ENJOY IT.”

A clear chill night around Kabul. Stars glimmered in the sky, and small mountains hemmed in the little valley. The fifty or so mujahideen sat in a low thatched hut. The oil burning lamp light reflected redly off the faces of the full bearded brothers, their eyes all on the amir. Everyone was hushed and straining to hear the next few words. This was Bayt-us-Shuhada, stationed in the heartlands of Kabul.
The amir was about to decide what was to happen next morning after Fajr. Either they would go out and in all probability be decimated, or they would have to find another way out, and they would obey their amir, under Deen, to shuhada or victory, as per the covenant with Allah.
There were around ten thousand of Dostum's communist vermin in front. Another five thousand of the shia tribes to the west, and with the latest betrayal, another ten thousand odd behind. Completely surrounded.
Guns boomed far away towards the center of Kabul, and suddenly a young boy spoke out. At fourteen, he was alone with these brothers in a country n

Jazakullah khairan brothers. In reference to the above quote Masha'Allah , I read this in the e-book "Sword of Allah"
www.swordofallah.com
that Khalid (RA) asked an unnamed friend to examine his body (excluding his `awrah) and find one hand-span not covered with a wound. His friend could not. Khalid (RA) was lamenting why he could not therefore have died in battle. Here is the firaasah (clear-sightedness) displayed by his friend Masha'Allah, when he said:
"When the Messenger of Allah, on whom be the blessings of Allah and peace, named you Sword of Allah, he predetermined that you would not fall in battle. If you had been killed by an unbeliever it would have meant that Allah's sword had been broken by an enemy of Allah; and that could never be."

Bring up your children to be brave and courageous. Let your houses be places for lions not chicken farms in which your sons will be fed then slaughtered by tyrants like sheep.

On the authority of Anas bin Malik (RA), the Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said:
"Whosoever fights in a single battle in the Path of Allah has rendered unto
Allah all acts of obedience. "So whosoever wills, then let him believe and
whosoever wills then let him disbelieve. Indeed we have prepared for the
wrongdoers a fire." [Quran 18:29]. The Companions asked: "After this hadith
that we have heard from you, who will then abandon Jihad and sit behind?" He
(SAWS) said: "Those whom Allah has cursed, His Anger is upon and for whom He
has prepared a severe punishment are a people who will appear near the end
of time and they will deny Jihad. My Lord has taken an oath upon Himself that
He will not break, that whichever of His servants meets him in such a state,
He will punish him in such a way that He has not punished anyone in the
Universe."
[Ibn Asakir transmitted it in the section: 'The Seriousness of Abandoning
Jihad.' (Mashari-ul-Ashwaq by Ibn Nuhaas, Vol. 1, P. 107)]
On the authority of Zaid bin Aslam Al-Adawi (RA) from his father (RA), the
Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said: "Jihad will remain sweet and green as long as
rain continues to drop from the sky, yet there will come upon the people a
time when their scholars will say: 'This is not the time for Jihad.' So
whoever witnesses this time then let him know that this is the best time for
Jihad." The Companions asked: "O Messenger of Allah (SAWS), will anyone really
say that?" He (SAWS) replied: "Yes, he upon whom is the curse of Allah, His
Angels and all of mankind."

Jihaad Al-Nafs comes in the battlefield as the Mujaahid Sheikh Abdullah Azzam and Ibn Qayyim says "Jihaad Al-Nafs is to learn and act upon it " So if you learnt about Jihaad and you do this great deed you are doing Jihaad Al-Nafs...
But please don't tell me Jihaad Al-Nafs is to "struggle against your innerself" and that is "better than Jihaad with the rifle"!

Jihad of the nafs is the lesser type. But of course it takes a hell of a lot of jihad of the nafs to get and stay on the battle-field.
----------------------------------------------
Greater and 'Lesser' Jihad?
By Abu Khubayb and Abu Zubayr
THE SLANDERED JIHAD
Among the erroneous notions aimed at stifling the spirit of Jihad in this Ummah is the idea of 'greater' and 'lesser' Jihads. According to this belief, striving against desires of the self is considered the Greater Jihad, which makes the Jihad of the battlefield the Lesser Jihad. This idea is based upon a story mentioned by al Khatib al Baghdadi in his book, "The History of Baghdad", by way of Yahya ibn al 'Ala', who said,
"We were told by Layth, on the authority of 'Ata', on the authority of Abu Rabah, on the authority of Jabir, who said, 'The Prophet (salallaahu 'alayhee wa sallam) returned from one of his battles, and thereupon told us, 'You have arrived with an excellent arrival, you have come from the Lesser Jihad to the Greater Jihad - the striving of a servant (of Allah) against his desires.''"
This concept, despite the fact that it is based on a hadeeth, can be refuted from several aspects, of which we shall mention the following.
Firstly:
This hadeeth cannot be used to establish proof, for Al Bayhaqi has said regarding it, "Its chain of narration is weak. (Da'eef)", Al Suyuti also pronounced a verdict of weakness on it in his book, "Al Jam'i al Saghir".
Somebody might claim that da'eef (weak) Ahadeeth can be accepted in matters of supererogatory virtuous deeds. This is unacceptable, for we do not believe that Jihad can be a supererogatory deed. Indeed, how can it be so when the Messenger of Allah (salallaahu 'alayhee wa sallam) has said that the asceticism of his Ummah lies in Jihad?
Furthermore, anybody who follows up on Yahya ibn al 'Ala', the narrator of the hadeeth, will find in his biography things which will make him forsake the man's Ahadeeth. Ibn Hajar al 'Asqalani said about him in "Al-Taqrib",
"He was accused of forging Ahadeeth."
Al Dhahabi said in "Al-Mizan",
"Abu Hatim said that he is not a strong narrator, Ibn Mu'in classified him as weak, al Daraqutni said that he is to be neglected, and Ahmad ibn Hanbal said that he is a liar and a forger of Ahadeeth."
Secondly:
This hadeeth explicitly contradicts clear verses of the Qur'an. Allah the Mighty, the Majestic, says, (Translation of the Meaning),
"Those believers who sit back are not equal to those who perform Jihad in the Path of Allah with their wealth and their selves. Allah has favored those who perform Jihad with their wealth and their selves by degrees over those who sit back. To both (groups) has Allah promised good, but Allah has favored the mujahideen with a great reward, by ranks from Him, and with Forgiveness, over those who sit back. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful." Qur'an [4:95-96]
Thirdly:
This hadeeth contradicts mutawatir (mass-narrated) Ahadeeth which have been reported from the Prophet (salallaahu 'alayhee wa sallam), and which make plain the excellence of Jihad. We will mention a few of these.
"A morning or an evening spent in the Path of Allah is better than the world and all it contains."
[Bukhari and Muslim]
"Standing for an hour in the ranks of battle in the Path of Allah is better than standing for sixty years (in prayer)." [Sahih al- Jami']
Abu Hurayrah (radiallaahu 'anhu) said,
"Is any of you able to stand in prayer without stopping, and to fast continuously for as long as he lives?" The people said, "Oh Abu Hurayrah! Who could endure that?" He said, "By Allah! A day of a mujahid in the Path of Allah is better than that."
The claim of those who say that the 'struggle against the self' is the Greater Jihad because the individual is put to test by day and by night, may be refuted by the following hadeeth:
On the authority of Rashid, on the authority of Sa'd (radiallaahu 'anhu), on the authority of one of the Companions, that a man said, "Oh Messenger of Allah! Why is it that the believers are all put to trial in their graves, except for the martyrs?" He (salallaahu 'alayhee wa sallam) said, "The clashing of swords above his head was sufficient trial for him." [Sahih al-Jam'i]
Fourthly:
This erroneous and slanderous notion involves injustice and wrong to the status of the Mujahideen. Allah (Ta'aala) has ordered us to practice justice in our verdicts, saying, (Translation of the Meaning),
"Be just, it is closer to piety; and fear Allah. Allah is aware of what you do." Qur'an [5:8]
Is it any part of justice and fair treatment for us to say that our brethren in the land of attention and battle are in a lesser Jihad when the mines are exploding beneath their feet, with the result that their bodies fly into the air, and their limbs and blood are scattered all over, to the extent that their pure corpses cannot be contained in a grave?
And that is for the sake of Allah, and if He wills, He may bless the limbs of a body torn to pieces.
Were these youths in a lesser Jihad, while our fasting, and breaking our fasts on the most delicious of food are then a greater Jihad?
By Allah! This is an unequal measure, and if you were to put the matter before the most knowledgeable people on earth, they would never arrive at such a disparate verdict.
Fifthly:
The Egyptian, Dr. Muhammad Amin says, in his book, "The Path of Islamic Propagation",
"Jihad of the self and Jihad by wealth, if they do not lead one to establish the Call of Truth, and to stand beside it, enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong, and contributing one's life and wealth in the Path of Allah, are deficient Jihads containing inadequacy. It is astonishing that the hour of testing and of severity, in which the feet are shaken and the heart reaches the throat, can be called the Hour of the Lesser Jihad, while the hours of safety and comfort in secure homes, in the midst of one's family and friends, can be called hours of the Greater Jihad! In the like of such appellations do the holders-back rejoice in their sitting behind from obeying the Messenger of Allah (salallaahu 'alayhee wa sallam) and his Companions (radiallaahu 'anhum)? Such people find contentment and comfort in this way, while in reality they only deceive their weak souls, for the true values of the deeds are entirely the opposite."
Finally, we conclude with some verses which were sent by the mujahid scholar 'Abdullaah ibn al Mubarak, from the land of Jihad to his friend Al Fudayl ibn 'Iyad, who used to preach to the rulers and make them cry, yet did not seek any payment, being a sincere worshipper.
Oh worshipper in the Two Sanctuaries, if you could only behold us, You would see that you, in your devotions, are only playing. If you are one whose cheek is tinged with his tears, Then our chests are dyed with our blood.
"ONE OF MY FAVOURITES IMAMS ABDULLAH IBN MUBARAK"
The Pretended Jihad
Some people may be astonished when they hear a person describing Jihad in person as a lesser Jihad, or who deems fighting in the Path of Allah (Ta'aala) little in comparison to other acts of devotion. However, if we pursue the lives of these people, look at their histories and investigate the reason for their confusion regarding the matter, we will find that the explanation for their stance is simple. These are the people who people undervalue Jihad and give priority to studying in universities, writing in magazines, and giving speeches in conferences over fighting and being martyred. By examining their lives, one will find a common denominator, which brings them together in deficiency and unites them in their viewpoint.
The common denominator among the feeble and those who hold back from Jihad (the people of theories and concepts) is that they have not participated in Jihad. The opportunity has not presented itself to these people (by the Will of Allah Ta'aala), nor have they had the good fortune to join a camp of mujahideen. In such a camp there is a lack of luxuries and a scarcity of necessities which would make them feel the difference between a day in the camp and a similar day in the university with its food, entertainment, and air-conditioned class rooms.
How can these people recognize the true value of Jihad when they have not participated in the regiments of war nor entered into the arenas of tumult?
If a man plunges into a single battle, it will be sufficient to correct all his misconceptions. The mujahid, in only a few hours, may see things whose horror would make children gray haired: bombs and splinters sweeping away the souls of the most beloved of his Brethren who shared with him his traveling, training, ribaat (guarding the front line), and Jihad. What will be the situation of these people when the rockets and shells are exploding over their heads and beneath their feet? How will it be when they see with their very own eyes the scattering of arms, legs and intestines so that a healthy body with well-proportioned limbs will become handicapped, dismembered, or paralyzed?
This then is the underlying reason for the confusion on the part of those who underrate Jihad.
In a few hours or days, the mujahid sees, with his own eyes, such hardships, trials, and tribulations, as others do not see in decades. It will be impossible for anyone who engages in this experience of Jihad to equate physical Jihad with other pacifistic means of Da'wah. Therefore, anyone who disputes with the mujahid in the issue of Jihad or who calls people to abandon fighting should join a camp, even if only as a servant. Or he should participate in a battle even if only as a cook. Then after that, we will see if, in his opinion, the pen is equal to the Kalashnikov.

The polytheists arrived, and the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: ‘Rise to the Paradise, whose width embraces the heavens and the earth!" Umayr bin al Humam said: ‘Hurrah!’ The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: ‘What impels you to say "Hurrah! hurrah!" He said: ‘Nothing, O Messenger of Allah, except the hope that I may be one of its people.’ He said: ‘You are indeed one of its people.’"
He (Abu Hurayrah) said:
"And he [Umayr] took out some dates from his quiver and began eating them. Then he said: ‘If I live long enough to eat all my dates, my life will indeed be a long one!’ So he flung away the remaining dates, and fought until he was slain." Transmitted by Muslim.

"When Allah chooses one of the brothers for martyrdom or takes the life of one of our beloved children, who have participated with us in this path, I cry for myself because these people have preceded us and this is a sign that we are not yet worthy for martyrdom. It is a clear proof that we are not yet suitable for this high rank. Allah (SWT) chose these people and I observed that these people shared common traits: good feelings towards the Muslims and awareness of what they say to their Muslim brothers and sisters. You would not find them wasting their time because their deeds occupied them; their faults busied them from the faults of the people, so congratulations for him who busied himself with his faults rather than the faults of other people."
A small group: they are the ones who carry convictions for this religion. An even smaller group from this group, are the ones who flee from this worldly life in order to act upon these convictions. And an even smaller group from this elite group, are the ones who sacrifice their souls and their blood in order to bring victory to these convictions and ambitions. So they are the cream of the cream of the cream."

It is not possible for the structures of this Deen to be established, nor for its banner to be raised, nor for its vessel to be launched, except by traversing this Path.

During the battle, Abdullah came to me and said, "Aren't you making a dua to God?"
"Yes," said I. So we moved aside and I prayed, "O Lord, when I meet the enemy, let me meet a man of enormous strength and fury. Then grant me victory over him that I might kill him and acquire spoils from him." To this my prayer, Abdullah said Ameen and then he prayed:
"LET ME MEET A MAN OF GREAT STANDING AND ENORMOUS FURY. I SHALL FIGHT HIM FOR YOUR SAKE, O LORD, AND HE SHALL FIGHT ME. HE SHALL TAKE ME AND CUT OFF MY NOSE AND EARS AND WHEN I MEET YOU ON THE MORROW YOU WILL SAY, "FOR WHAT WERE YOUR NOSE AND EAR CUT OFF?" AND I WOULD REPLY, "FOR YOUR SAKE AND FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR PROPHET." AND THEN YOU WOULD SAY, "YOU HAVE SPOKEN THE TRUTH . . ."Sa'd continues the story:
The prayer of Abdullah ibn Jahsh was better than mine. I saw him at the end of the day. He was killed and mutilated and in fact his nose and his ear were hung on a tree with a thread.

Assalaamu Alayum wr wb!
this is quote by Masood Al-Benin (may Allah accept him from amongst the Shuhadaa'!) who was a Qoqaz.net Correspondent.
"Every Muslim considers himself as balanced BUT the balance is set according to the Prophet (SAWS), so if the Prophet (SAWS) has participated in (military) Jihaad 27 times in his life and we have not done this action even once, how then can we say we are balanced and that we follow the way of the Prophet (SAWS)?"

As- Salaam Alleikum,
Alhamdulillaah, with such quotes it makes one to love Qitaal more and more but you will never never feel the sweetness of jihad until you stand infront facing the kaafirs at the battlefield and this is a great bonus for the chosen few.
May Allaah make us those chosen few.

Arsalaan slipped into his tent and dressed himself in the towels he would be buried in, fragrancinghimself with hanoot. He then addressed the entire army, saying: "Today Islam is in danger! Today Muslims are in danger! And I fear that Laa ilaaha illaa Allaah will be wiped away from our land!" He then shouted, "Yaa Islaamaah! (O Islaam!!) Yaa Islaamaah!! (O Islaam!!). Look at me, I have worn the towels of my coffin and have fragranced myself with hanoot. Whoever wants Jannah, let them dress as I have dressed! We are going to fight under the shade of Laa ilaaha illa Allah until we are destroyed or the flag of Laa ilaaha illaa Allah is raised!"

Abdullah Ibn Mubarak wrote in a letter to Al-Fudayl Ibn Iyaadh:
"Oh you who offer prayer in the sacred mosque!
Had you witnessed us in the battlefield
You would know that, compared to our Jihaad,
Your worship is child's play.
For every tear you have shed upon your cheek,
We have shed in its place blood upon our chests.
You are playing with your worship,
While worshipers offer your worship,
Mujahideen offer their blood and person."A quote by moulanah masood azhar

Taken from Azzam's "In The Hearts Of Green Birds"
"There was, however, another group of individuals who also went to Bosnia.
No mention was made of them. They came from near and far, young and old, rich and poor, and they traveled to Bosnia. These people were the foreign
Mujahideen (volunteer Islamic Fighters). Between 1992-1995, hundreds came and went. A handful never returned: the shuhadaa' - those killed in the way of ALLAH".

Al-Fasawi the worshipper said, "I was with Ibn al-Mubarak raiding on a cold, rainy night. He wept and I said, 'Are you weeping for the like of this?' He said, 'I am weeping for the previous nights which did not have the like of this hardship so that we could be rewarded for them.'"

"an-Nűr mil 'uyűnî wa al-Hűr milku yamînî"
I tasted life, as an enjoyment; and as a journey; and as a struggle,
And I chose this way, by myself, and I struggled throughout it (in the path of Jihâd),
And I passed through fire, and light, and (...) and fragrant aromas,
Until I was taken as a martyr, welcoming the bounties (which come with it - the virtues of shahâdah)
The Light fills my eyes...
And the Hűr are on my right hand side
And like an Angel I sing in Paradise and with its rivers theirin...
These gardens are my resting place, and they are irrigated through my wounds
Like magic, and ease, and rest, O heart! What is this rest? (he is amazed at his station such that he questions his heart)
Surrounding me are the Prophets, and my martyred brothers,
And Allâh expounds on us shades of charming love.
The Light fills my eyes...
And the Hűr are on my right hand side
In the Paradise of Allâh I am given life, comparable to a thousand and one worlds
And I did not wish for anything, except that it came to me swiftly (In Paradise)
So do not say we have lost those who disappeared [martyrs] despite us not wanting them to disappear.
If there was indeed a loss in the âkhirah, then is it not best to lose me?

“I seek Nothing of this life but Shahaada,
The things and people of this Dunya are but a test for me.
How can I settle for them? Above the companionship of the Prophets, the Shuhaada and the truthful.

A bedouin came to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and after accepting Islam expressed his wish to accompany him in the expedition. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) asked some of his companions to take care of him and settle his needs. When the Muslims captured one of the forts and won a large booty, the man had taken out a herd of cattle for grazing. The spoils were distributed among the combatants apportioning the Bedouin also of his share. When he was given his part, he took it to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and asked, "What is this?" The Prophet (Peace be upon him) explained that it was his share of the booty of war, but he said, "I didn't come to you for it." Then pointing to his throat he continued, "I followed you hoping that I would be hit by an arrow, entitling me of Paradise." The Prophet (Peace be upon him) replied, "If you desire it so, God will do likewise."
Then, in a subsequent battle at Khaybar the Bedouin was among those killed in the encounter. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) asked, "Is it the same man?" When the companions replied in the affirmative, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) remarked, "He was true to God and God made his wish come true." The Prophet (Peace be upon him) shrouded his corpse with his own mantle and recited the funeral service for him. Thereafter, he said, "O Allah, thy servant had come to migrate in Thy way and was killed for Thy sake. I bear witness to it."

Battle of Yarmook
Both the armies confronted each other at Yarmook. The Roman General, Mahan, scornfully addressed his counterpart, Khalid bin Waleed (ra), and said:
“It looks as if poverty, nakedness and starvation has compelled you to come here. If you wish I am willing to give each of you ten dinars, expensive clothes and good food. You can take these things and leave. Next year too I can send you these things; you do not have to take the trouble to come here.”
Khalid bin Waleed (ra) was enraged at hearing these scornful and arrogant words, and answered:
“MAHAN LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY! YOU ARE MISTAKEN ABOUT THE REASON WHY WE ARE HERE. WE ARE PEOPLE WHO DRINK THE BLOOD OF OUR OPPONENTS. WE HAVE HEARD THAT ROMAN BLOOD IS VERY DELICIOUS, AND WE HAVE COME HERE TO ENJOY IT.”

A clear chill night around Kabul. Stars glimmered in the sky, and small mountains hemmed in the little valley. The fifty or so mujahideen sat in a low thatched hut. The oil burning lamp light reflected redly off the faces of the full bearded brothers, their eyes all on the amir. Everyone was hushed and straining to hear the next few words. This was Bayt-us-Shuhada, stationed in the heartlands of Kabul.
The amir was about to decide what was to happen next morning after Fajr. Either they would go out and in all probability be decimated, or they would have to find another way out, and they would obey their amir, under Deen, to shuhada or victory, as per the covenant with Allah.
There were around ten thousand of Dostum's communist vermin in front. Another five thousand of the shia tribes to the west, and with the latest betrayal, another ten thousand odd behind. Completely surrounded.
Guns boomed far away towards the center of Kabul, and suddenly a young boy spoke out. At fourteen, he was alone with these brothers in a country n
