Martyr Leaders...Majestic Persons in Sayyed Narallah’s Words

Hussein Mansour

Years passed...Victory follows another.

Years passed, and the nation wakes up, moves, and convulses. Neither the crowded fleets succeeded nor the endless pack of threats and intimidation. Wars were useless as torture, assassination and murder turned also fruitless.

The unjust tyrants and aggressors simply didn't understand that martyrs' blood seizes them and their waves of dark fluid still floods in the scene: It is oriented to there... to al-Aqsa; to pray on the blessed land and its surrounding. The goal was, is and will always be: al-Quds.

"Since their early boyhood, these brother leaders, had an early awareness to the issue of conflict with the "Israeli" enemy, to al-Quds and Palestine ... They did not know the life of fun, play, and luxury. They weren't dazzled with enjoying life as anyone in their age ... They were men, since their childhood. They remained men as youths and they passed away as men and martyrs."

That's how we read those majestic persons, in the words of the Secretary-General of Hizbullah His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah [may Allah protect him], and this how they are present in his words:

The Will...

The martyr leaders were victorious in their lives as well as in their martyrdom. From there, from beyond life and in the unseen world they triumphed. And because martyrdom is life, they were no longer an event or a news story, but they became fate: "In the era of martyrdom, each one of these leaders, due to jihad, martyrdom, sacrifice, turned to an emblem and a symbol to a certain stage."
Each one of them had a role and a message. They integrated and completed through belonging to this great Islam.

They moved in the sentiments of this nation. They built conscious and pure mentalities, a constant behavior towards right, a stiff resistance, and left their "will". Thus:
"On this day every year, we once again bow in front of the shrine of the late Sayyed Abbas Mousawi. Inspired by his spirit and guided by his thought, we renew the covenant with him, and we assure him, year after year, that we still preserve his will."
Common characteristics that seemed to be identical: The Sayyed Martyr, The Sheikh Martyr, and the Imad Martyr; three titles in one: The Martyr Leaders.
They are truly the leaders, as they owned the merits and conditions of both leadership and martyrdom: patience, trust, certainty, devotion, asceticism, courage, and honesty.
These heavy conditions can't be acquired but only by a person with a decent efficiency in both spiritual and intellectual levels. He must be characterized by deep understanding and knowledge accompanied with a calm heart and the highest degrees of piety, due to a clear vision: "You will find that they [the martyr leaders] shared common qualities that reached the extent of congruence: faith, piety, righteousness, religiosity, loyalty, honesty, love of people, humility for people and passion for them... They make us understand how a person can be both stern and merciful ... How he stands to face and valor the enemies of his homeland and how he cries like a baby child on the martyrs' remains in Qana massacre ..."

Their Weapon.. Trust in God

The Martyr Leaders, are men who had these characters in all their actions, because they moved a step forward in fully knowing their God. Their faith was complete so that their dependence on others diminished as their only dependence was only to God. They were shielded by a great trust in God in face of oppression and tyranny threats: "Among the martyr leaders, there existed great faith, a lot of honesty, loyalty, sincerity, humility, love, and sublime humanitarian sensations. They also shared hard work and bloody jihad ... as well as unparalleled and unprecedented firmness... Hajj Imad, the son of a school that grants and works for the sake of God, waited no awards or thanks from anyone. He was the commander of preparation and readiness to defend Lebanon. In 2000, people rejoiced the victory, and lived their normal lives ... while Hajj Radwan, connected Day by night..."

People of Patience and Determination:

The martyr leader an endless title. The issue they carried is only held by people of patience, vision, and knowledge... people with intention, determination, and strong will, that achieve major objectives. These people were characterized by an insight that pursue great moral objectives, ordered by al-Amighty God. They owned knowledge that turned their will and determination into generosity, conviction, enthusiasm, courage, and beautiful performance. Out of this vision, they moved in life.
"Among the common features between Sheikh Ragheb, Sayyed Abbas, and Hajj Imad, is that they are from the resistance founders since the first day ... They had the lasting effective, influential, productive, and creative leading presence. They had devoted all their youth, and age to this resistance" via steadfastness, persistence, patience and resistance in sake of Al-Mighty God:

Thus, the motivation here isn't a physical, political, and earthly one, but rather a Divine motivation that pours into the path of man's guidance to a free and dignified life. Each leader represented a model for others.

Lovers of God

They were truthful and loyal when they raised the slogan of resistance, and protection of the nation. They didn't take from their posts a pretext to achieve material gains and fame or to monopolize power; because they are fully aware that the source of these elements are Satan's whispers. They also knew that there is no veil between the honest person and his God. Their belief, certainty, dedication and honesty were so real so that they didn't replace ending titles with everlasting ones. "They were among God lovers, whose ultimate wish were to reach Him and the closest place...when they prayed to God by words they had formulated... What kind of person is this who was able to explore and read the unseen... Abu Yasser viewed his road to Tafahta [village of martyrdom], to the burned car, to the headless slaughtered body , to the hands and feet, and torn body remains from beyond this world! He was able to do so through his special and great relation with Almighty God."

He left no house, or a real estate but only a simple furniture consumed by days. Even this furniture wasn't enough to pay his debts: twenty thousand dollars he had lent to help people: "The Hereafter We shall give to those who do not want handedness or mischief on earth and vanity, ((Al-Kasasa: 83)". The martyr leader is the one who refrain from all pleasures of physical phenomena that stop the complementarity movement of man. If the leader isn't ascetic, he would have no conviction away from perversion, particularly that life betrays, distracts, and sinks people.

Light Seeks within Hands

Wondrous enemy, resembled in the life's sheen and luster. He who takes the side of the life in his hand destroys his Hereafter, keeps it on the ground, and cuts his link with God. At this stage, nothing can help not even begs and pray calls.

However, the martyr leaders were in another place in which life has its real value because they were in the location that God wants, and in the place where life is the farm of the Hereafter, where man prepares for his long travel: "We believe that we exist in this world to perform a divine duty, so that if one of us passed away or was killed, he is to presented to a generous God, with light seeking in his hands."
"If money falls into God's hands, it would grow...What if blood falls in Al-Mighty's Hands?"

Culture Established A Nation

The Marty Leaders : The Sheikh Martyr, the Sayyed Martyr, and the Imad martyr were men of issues, of worship, and men of message. That means when we mention the martyr leaders, we talk about a school that revolted people with stones, sticks, bullets, bombs and rockets. We talk about a project that says:

Earth won't calm down unless we participated in its calm and peace. We shed light on the owners of a moral, educational, jihadist, and humane approach. This is the culture that set the foundations of a faithful, mollified, rebel, resistant, free, proud and honest nation. A nation with a heart that ignites with love and hate, grief and sorrow. Based on this culture, the nation enjoyed a real presence. They simply motioned it to where God wanted them to, carrying a flag that isn't to fall.
In this school, each of the teachers taught an important and a great chapter and a through words and deeds. Each one ended his knowledge with blood:
"From Martyr Sayyed Abbas Mousawi we learn humility to people - especially the poor - we learn love, compassion, and mercy; we learn how to face the misfortune with a smile, tragedy with patience, calm, and prudence. We learn trust in God and leaving the narrow mentality to the mind of message, and the values of Islam."

Their Life Ends with Blood Stamp

We will continue to learn from the martyr leaders because they have reached the peak of knowledge, integrity, and spreading the message. They ended the book of their age, after stamping it with blood that burned the hordes of occupiers, tyrants, and oppressors: "If we were inspired by this spirit, this example, this model, and this path, we are to become qualified to be associates and supporters of Imam Hussein's grandson, who is coming in the future to fill the earth with equity and justice after being filled with injustice and oppression."
