Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

JIHAD (Fighting in a holy war)

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Prophet said that Allah says, (Hadis -e- Qudsi - Divine), “Who has left his home for fighting in my cause, believing in Me and testifying My Messengers - his protector is ALLAAH Who will either give him entrance to Paradise (if he has died as a martyr) or return him triumphant to his home (from where he went out for Jihad) with a reward of booty.” By Him in whose hand my soul is, no one is wounded in ALLAAH’s path, with out coming on the day of resurrection with his wound spouting blood, the colour being that of blood but the fragrance being that of musk. And by Him in whose hand my soul is, were it not that men among the believers are not satisfied with remaining behind me when I cannot get mounts for them, I would not stay behind when an expedition goes out in ALLAAH’s path. By Him in whose hand my soul is, I wish I was killed in ALLAAH’s path and brought to life, then be killed and brought to life, then be killed and brought to life, then be killed.”[M a’arif-uI- Hadith, Muslim]

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAAH’s messenger as saying, “He who dies without having fought in the cause of Allah, or having thought of fighting in His cause and preparing for it will die guilty of a kind of hypocrisy.”
