If we take a look at the 14-century long history of Islam it emerges as a strong reality that whenever the disbelievers tried to put out the lamp of Islam, the sons of Ummah saved it by laying down their lives. They watered the tree of Islam with their blood and they never shrank from sacrificing their wealth, property, family, children and household.

One such star which is spreading its radiance is the teacher of Mujahideen, Abdul Malik Abu Anas Shaheed.

There is not a single person in Pakistan who is associated with Jihad and does not know his name. The name Abu Anas creates the image of a celestial personality in minds, a Hafidh of the Qur’an, who was a good reciter of the Qur’an, whose very
personality filled people’s hearts with respect and he who trained thousands of Mujahideen to wage Jihad. He is the same Abu Anas whom we today call Shaheed and with this our eyes swell with tears.

Brother Abdul Malik Abu Anas Shaheed was summoned five years ago to Ma’skar Ummul Qura Muzaffarabad and he was entrusted with the responsibility of the Ma’skar. He fulfilled his responsibilities with utmost devotion, sincerity and commitment and he sent thousands of Mujahideen to Kashmir after providing them training. In the meantime he also kept on seeking permission to enter the fields of Jihad but the respected Amir Hafiz Muhammad Saeed kept on refusing but Abu Anas Shaheed had strengthened his relationship with Allah so much that no obstacle could stop him. Finally, the Amir Saeed issued him the permission to go to the occupied valley. The draws were taken among the teachers of Ma’skar and it was Abu Anas’ name. His heart finally had some peace as this was the very mission for which he abandoned the whole world.

He came back to his home in Faisalabad, spent a week there and visited all his relatives and sought their forgiveness. He spent the day he was bound to leave crying. He sought his parents’ forgiveness, asked them to pray for him. Then he left leaving them all in the protection of Allah and reached Dudaniyal sector. He spent a week there with his teacher Abu Shuaib. Before setting off for the valley he had a cold shower, performed ablution, wore perfume and said two Raka’ prayer and crossed over the Line of Control. Because he was the Amir of the training centre, it was the programme that he should be entrusted with the responsibility of the valley. But as he was new in the valley, therefore he was just like an ordinary Mujahid. He spent almost a month and a half in the valley, sizing up the situation in the valley. He was holding a meeting with four companions in Sangrama village of Sopur that army learnt about the meeting. It surrounded them immediately and thus the encounter started. All the brothers reposed faith in Allah and put up good fight. When the fight continued long enough they decided to effect an escape with the help of cover fire. In the meantime the army started to fire mortar guns and all brothers embraced martyrdom. (Insha Allah)

Childhood of Abu Anas Shaheed

He was born in 1972 in Faisalabad and went to Makkah at an early age and started learning the Qur’an by heart. By the grace of Allah he learnt 20 parts by heart in Makkah and continued his education along with it. When he came back to Pakistan he passed three classes in one year. After a year he entered Jamia Salafia Faisalabad and there he completed the rest of the learning of the Qur’an. Along with this he also did his F. Sc. and Dars-e-Nizami and passed out from that institute as a Hafidh, Reciter and religious scholar.

He had good command over Arabic language. He got first position in an Arabic language course held by a Saudi department. He was very obedient to teachers; his heart was filled with respect for his teachers. This is also the reason why he was so popular with his teachers. Allah Almighty had blessed him with exemplary brilliance. He always got good position in exams.
Grandfather’s recollections

He never swore at anybody all his life. He was the embodiment of Hadith that a believer can never swear. During his education we never received any complaint against him. He never quarreled with anybody nor pestered anybody.

Strict following of Shari’ah

Once he learnt that his younger brother had not said his prayer, he started to beat him. When his mother tried to save him he said to his mother "My beating him will not kill him, but this will save him from the Hellfire." He used to gather the youth of neighbourhood in his drawing room and teach them prayer and supplications and advise them to do the deeds of righteousness. Likewise he took the Qur’an translation classes regularly and tried to spread this light to the whole world.

Passion for piety

His grandfather tells that he always said the Sunnah prayer at home, and said his Tahajjud prayer quite regularly, and advised others to say Tahajjud. He always performed ablution before going to bed, always cleaned his teeth regularly and said his adhkaar regularly.

Abu Ehsan, who is a teacher at Ma’skar, tells that after whole day’s tiring activities he would go to sleep without a proper bed. We would ask him not to sleep like that for fear of insects. But he would say I always wake up at Tahajjud due to these insects.
Abstinence from prohibited deeds

His grandfather told that once somebody wanted to rent their shop to open up a video centre. When asked for his opinion on this he said if you rented that shop to him I would throw all his stuff out of the shop. “Why should we join somebody in his sin”, he asked? His grandfather hugged him and kissed him on the forehead.

Truthful and prudent

He was very prudent, wise and intelligent. Always had a quick insight into matters. He always fulfilled with great commitment whatever responsibility he was trusted with. That is why he had been the Amir of Ma’skar for five years. He spent all that time in a perfect manner, tackled all problems with great sagacity. He showed great maturity at the age of 25. Truth was part and parcel of his character. He always spoke the truth, disregarding all other concerns. This was the reason for his popularity, too.

Infatuation with the Qur’an and its recitation

Along with other attributes Allah blessed him with the quality of impressive recitation of the Qur’an. As he spent ten years in Saudi Arabia and learnt the better part of the Qur’an there, he had the accent and pronunciation like Arabs. His voice had great impact. The mosques of Ma’skar Ummal Qura, Ma’skar Abdullah bin Masood and Ma’skar Aqsa are witnesses to the fact that whenever he started the recitation in prayer all the followers including teachers started to weep. He stood for prayer with great modesty and humility. Respected Amir Hafiz Muhammad Saeed once said, "Brother Abu Anas’ prayer shows what the prayer of a true Muslim is like". He further said, "When Abu Anas recited the Qur’an, it is my guess that the surrounding mountains and trees would have been swinging hearing the Qur’an."

Piety and Disinterest in the World

Abu Anas’ grandfather told once he called him in Muzaffarabad and had asked him to ring them up for it was difficult for them to call him. He replied that the phone at the Ma’skar was for the Mujahideen, therefore they should ring him up. Once his grandfather visited him in Muzaffarabad. On his return from Ma’skar he requested him to give him a pair of sandals for he found it difficult climbing down the mountain in his boots. He gave him a pair of sandals but asked him to donate Rs. 40 to the Jihad fund for it.

Allah Almighty blessed him with very good character, very much like his countenance. He was always worried about the hereafter and was always trying to spread the same feeling. His class fellow Abdur Rasheed said, “When he came to see me for the last time he said: Abdur Rasheed if you want dignity in the world and the hereafter then abandon this world. His words still ring in my mind", says Abdur Rasheed.

Engineer Abu Umar Shabbir former Masool (In-charge) of Rawalpindi zone said that before his launching there was a meeting of all in-charges of Rawalpindi zone: "I requested him to deliver a lecture. Before starting the lecture he sat still for some time and then delivered lecture with tears in his eyes.
He said: My brothers the responsibility of a Masool is very difficult one. Man is very weak, it is very difficult for him to fulfill this responsibility without Allah’s help. So brothers establish strong relationship with your Allah. Stand before Him in the last part of night and seek His forgiveness."

Desire for Martyrdom

As he was a Hafidh of the Qur’an and a scholar so he knew full well what attributes of a martyr the Qur’an and the Prophet (sallallaho alaihi wasallam) have narrated. Keeping these things in mind he always nursed a strong desire for martyrdom and whenever he met a brother he requested him to pray for him to attain martyrdom so that can achieve eternal success and bliss. Whenever he was asked that he was needed and the brothers would subsequently pray that may he come back as a Ghazi he would say martyrdom is better than all other things. Finally Allah Almighty blessed him with martyrdom and thus finally Allah’s slave embraced martyrdom for His favourite Deen by following His Prophet’s (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) mission. It is almost a year since my brother Abu Anas departed, my heart is very worried, who should I turn to seek advice on my matters. Who will now remember me like him who always thought of me while he was sitting on the peaks of Kashmir, who will now speak to me frequently over the phone. He has gone from this world to the Heaven to enjoy the blessings of Allah Almighty.

The will of Abu Anas Abdul Malik (rahmatullah alaihi)

Asslam-o-Alaikum wa rahmatullah wabarakatuhu

Respected Mother and Father!

When I grew up to be a support for you I left my home for Jihad. Indeed this was quite contrary to your expectations. You displayed fortitude and then married me and Allah blessed me off with blessings like Anas and Wardah, then you gave me the permission to go to Kashmir. Obviously you would have had a lot of dreams about me, so had I but today Almighty Allah has made you the parents of a Shaheed. Insha Allah. No matter how earnestly I would have served you dear mother I would not have brought eternal pleasure for you, but my martyrdom, I hope, will be a source of eternal bliss for you. Insha Allah
Dear father, you have the responsibility of the home, it is up to you to you enforce Shari’ah. Success is impossible without regular prayer. Smoking is unlawful, please give it up. Please treat grandfather and grandmother well, they have always been very nice to me. I can never forget their kindness. Treat all the relatives in a kind manner. Do not ever be egoistic, Allah likes humble people.

Dear sisters and brother, follow the Book and the Sunnah. Sisters you keep observing the hijab and saying your prayer and brothers it is your responsibility to take up my Klashnikov. Jihad should never discontinue in this house.
Dear father and mother please always extend kind attitude towards my wife and children. Take care of my children’s upbringing and provide them a father’s love.

Dear Umme Anas!

Dear wife! You are dearest to me after Allah and His Prophet (sallallaho alaihi wasallam). You cannot bear my departure without Allah’s help. Only my heart knows how much I love you, Anas and Wardah, and I know you all regard me with similar sort of love. May Allah give you fortitude and patience.

Dear Umme Anas, I will be looking for you on the Day of Judgement when mothers will not bother about their sons and husbands will be forgetful of their wives. Insha Allah
Think for a moment about the time when you, Anas and Wardah and other relatives of ours will be with me on the Resurrection Day and we will enter Jannah together.

Dear Umme Anas, compare the trials and sorrows you are going through with the blessings of Jannah. Then there will be no sorrows and there will be eternal bliss and pleasures and eternal Jannah. Insha Allah

Dear Umme Anas, I could not give you the luxuries of life and on seeing the worldly people you might think that if I had been alive then you would have got all luxuries of life and I would have been there to express love to the children and they would not have been called orphans. I could not do all this but…..!

Dear Umme Anas, Allah Almighty will make you the owner of such a house which will be made of gold and silver bricks. Its soil will be of musk and its gardens will be evergreen. You will have there all the blessings of the Almighty. (Insha Allah) Don’t you prefer all these things to separation from me, which is inevitable and every soul has to face it.

Dear Umme Anas, take good care of children. Anas will be very intelligent. (Insha Allah)

See to it that he learns Qur’an by heart if possible from Qari Abdul Qayyum. Do not let Wardah feel my absence. Make it sure that she also learns the Qur’an by heart. Both my children should be better reciters than me. Dear Anas, always show respect to your mother. Be a dignified son of a dignified father. Regard Islam as your greatest asset. Never beg for anything. Giver is better than receiver. A morsel of food earned in a lawful and dignified manner is better than surfeit of unlawful food. One-day life of a lion is better then one-thousand-year life of a jackal.

Dear daughter Wardah, I forsook your love to save the daughters of Islam whom the Hindu was slaughtering in Kashmir. It was my aim to raise the banner of Islam and then…..may Allah accept. (Ameen)

Dear daughter, try to assume the modesty of A'eshah (radhiallaho unha) and Hafsah (radhiallaho unha), try to develop the bravery of Safiyyah (radhiallaho unha) and the courage of Khawla (radhiallaho unha) and Khansa (radhiallaho unha). Dear Wardah! Do not get lost in the pleasures of life, say your prayer regularly and enjoin good and forbid from evil, stay away from music, TV and other vulgar activities, observe hijab. Please heed my advice and do not bring indignity to me on the Day of Resurrection. Fear of Allah is the best jewel of a believer and prayer is his best weapon.

Dear mother Umme Usman! Your last words are still ringing in my ears: Oh Allah I am offering the most valuable thing of mine in your way. Oh Allah, accept this thing which is dearer to me than my soul! No doubt, when mother send their sons with such words they fight with utmost bravery.

Dear brother Usman! Uzma heeds your advice more than anyone else’s, so ask her to show fortitude. Dear brother! Take care of Uzma, Anas and Wardah. See that my children are brought up well.

Dear Uzma, dear Anas, dear Wardah! I would not have forsaken you had Allah not command to wage Jihad but now that I am fulfilling Allah’s command I leave you in His protection.
“I hand you over to Allah who does not waste trusts.”
Assalam-o-Alaikum to all family members and relatives.
Yours

Abu Anas Abdul Malik

active Jihad - the forgotten obligation... I like the quote from shk azzam, 'The jihad is not in need of men, men are in need of jihad'

4.75 And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)?- Men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from Thee one who will protect; and raise for us from Thee one who will help!"

Disabled Militant's Defiant Last Battle
Legless, 1-Armed Palestinian Dies Shooting

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A19895-2002Aug14.html

JERUSALEM, Aug. 14 -- Naser Jarrar, a Palestinian militant with no legs, one hand and a 20-year history of run-ins with the Israeli military, made his last stand today.

In the end, Jarrar used his only remaining hand to shoot at Israeli soldiers advancing on the house where he lived and from where, Israeli officials said, he was involved in a conspiracy to blow up Israeli civilians. But rockets launched from a U.S.-supplied AH-64 Apache helicopter exploded into the house, ending the resistance. The Israeli military then bulldozed the house, leaving family members with nothing more than Jarrar's head and a small chunk of his torso to bury, according to his brother.

So ended the resilient career of Naser Jarrar, 44, who was jailed at age 20 for attacking an Israeli army bus, served 15 years in Israeli prisons and spent the last several months fleeing Israeli soldiers who were out to kill or capture him. Finally, after shooting another of his brothers and destroying two of his residences over the last four months, Israeli forces brought down Jarrar in the little town of Tubas, according to his brother, Walid Jarrar, a 62-year-old pharmacist.

"About an hour ago we received his body," Walid Jarrar said tonight in an interview from his home in Burqin, west of the West Bank city of Jenin. "It was a direct hit by a rocket. Only his head and a small part of his body were recovered."

The Israeli military, in a statement, said Naser Jarrar was a senior militant in the Islamic Resistance Movement, known as Hamas. "Jarrar recruited suicide bombers who are supposed to commit terror attacks in central areas in Israel, as well as a major attack to bring down a multi-story building," the statement said.

Walid Jarrar described this afternoon's assault on a house where his brother was living in the town, about halfway between the West Bank cities of Nablus and Jenin, as recounted to him by a Palestinian witness.

"They bombarded the house with heavy machine-gun fire from helicopters," Jarrar said. When Israeli soldiers tried to approach the house, he said, occupants opened fire on them. Soldiers then shouted for the people inside to surrender.

"From what I understand, he [Naser Jarrar] was shooting," his brother said. "Apparently he was covering those who were with him while they ran. He couldn't move so he stayed in the house and kept shooting.

"The house was bombarded again with rockets from helicopters, and then a bulldozer bulldozed the house," the brother said. "As a result Naser was martyred," he added, using the word Palestinians employ to mean dying in the fight against Israel.

Jarrar said a second man, who has not been identified, also was killed in the attack. A taxi driver was wounded and a fourth man escaped, Jarrar said.

Jarrar said the family knew his brother was wanted by Israeli authorities. The house Naser Jarrar had shared with his pregnant wife, three children and his mother in Jenin was destroyed by rocket fire in April, Walid Jarrar said. Israeli forces invaded the city and its adjacent refugee camp then, destroying several city blocks of houses, apartments and shops.

"We heard that he is affiliated with Hamas, but we don't know," Jarrar said.

According to Jarrar, several days ago another brother, 41-year-old Yihia Jarrar, was shot five times by Israeli soldiers. He is now in a hospital in Amman, Jordan, recovering from the wounds, including one from a bullet that lodged a half-inch from his heart. Walid Jarrar said Yihia was not wanted or accused of being a militant by Israeli authorities.

The Israeli military and Jarrar's family gave different accounts of Naser Jarrar's personal history.

The military said he lost a hand and both of his legs in May 2001 when some explosive devices he was planning to use in an attack accidentally detonated. But Walid Jarrar said one of his brother's legs and an arm were blown off when Israeli tanks opened fire on his house just over a year ago and that he lost the second leg in the attack on his house in Jenin in April.
