*کوچک‌ترین فرماندهان اسلام در تاریخ بشریت…*
آنان فرماندهان سپاه‌های مسلمان بودند که سرزمین‌ها را فتح کردند و بزرگ‌ترین امپراتوری‌ها را در هم شکستند…
این‌ها بهترین فرماندهان و بهترین جوانان‌اند:

☆ *سعد بن ابی وقاص (۱۷ ساله):*
در هفده‌سالگی اسلام آورد، نخستین کسی بود که در راه خدا تیر انداخت، و از شش نفر اهل شورا بود. پیامبر ﷺ با افتخار به او اشاره می‌کرد و می‌فرمود: «این دایی من است، هر کس دایی‌اش را به من نشان دهد!»

☆ *ارقم بن ابی ارقم (۱۶ ساله):*
در شانزده‌سالگی مسلمان شد و خانه‌اش را به نخستین مدرسه اسلام و مقرّ مخفی پیامبر ﷺ در دوران دعوت در مکه تبدیل کرد؛ جایی که آغازگر تحولی بزرگ در تاریخ شد.

☆ *اسامه بن زید (۱۸ ساله):*
در هجده‌سالگی فرمانده سپاه مسلمانان شد، در حالی که در لشکرش بزرگان صحابه مانند ابوبکر و عمر بن خطاب حضور داشتند، تا با بزرگ‌ترین ارتش آن زمان (روم) روبه‌رو شود.

☆ *محمد بن قاسم ثقفی (۱۷ ساله):*
در حالی که هنوز به هفده‌سالگی نرسیده بود، سرزمین سند را فتح کرد و از باهوش‌ترین و بزرگ‌ترین فرماندهان نظامی عصر خود بود.

☆ *زید بن ثابت (۱۳ ساله):*
در سیزده‌سالگی نوشتن وحی را آغاز کرد و به درخواست پیامبر ﷺ تنها در ۱۷ شب زبان‌های سریانی و عبری را آموخت تا مترجم ویژه ایشان شود، و بعدها در جمع‌آوری قرآن نقش مهمی داشت.

حالِ ما جوانان امروز چگونه است؟
این‌ها الگوهای شایسته‌اند… و چه نیکو الگوهایی هستند:

☆ *معاذ بن عمرو (۱۳ ساله) و معوّذ بن عفراء (۱۴ ساله):*
دو قهرمان از انصار که در جنگ بدر توانستند ابوجهل، فرمانده مشرکان را، با وجود سن کم و محافظانش، از پای درآورند.

☆ *طلحه بن عبیدالله (۱۶ ساله):*
در شانزده‌سالگی اسلام آورد و در جنگ احد با پیامبر ﷺ بر مرگ بیعت کرد و از ایشان دفاع نمود؛ با دست خود تیرها را دفع کرد تا جایی که انگشتانش فلج شد و جانش را سپر پیامبر ساخت.

☆ *زبیر بن عوام (۱۵ ساله):*
در پانزده‌سالگی مسلمان شد، نخستین کسی بود که در اسلام برای خدا شمشیر کشید، و از یاران نزدیک پیامبر ﷺ و از ده نفری بود که به بهشت بشارت داده شدند.

د اسلام تر ټولو ځوان قومندانان په تاریخ کې…

هغوی د مسلمانانو د لښکرو مشران وو چې هېوادونه یې فتح کړل او ستر ستر امپراتورۍ یې ونړولې…
دا تر ټولو غوره قومندانان او تر ټولو غوره ځوانان دي:

☆ سعد بن ابي وقاص (۱۷ کلن):
په اوولس کلنۍ کې مسلمان شو، د الله په لار کې لومړی کس و چې غشی یې وویشت، او د شورا له شپږو کسانو څخه و. رسول الله ﷺ پرې ویاړ کاوه او فرمایل به یې: «دا زما ماما دی، څوک شته چې خپل ماما ماته وښيي؟»

☆ ارقم بن ابي ارقم (۱۶ کلن):
په شپاړس کلنۍ کې مسلمان شو او خپل کور یې د اسلام لومړنی مدرسه او د مکې د دعوت په پټ پړاو کې د رسول الله ﷺ مرکز وګرځاوه؛ هغه ځای چې د تاریخ یو ستر بدلون یې پیل کړ.

☆ اسامه بن زید (۱۸ کلن):
په اتلس کلنۍ کې د مسلمانانو د لښکر قومندان شو، په داسې حال کې چې په لښکر کې د صحابه‌وو لویان لکه ابوبکر او عمر رضی الله عنهما هم موجود وو، تر څو د هغه وخت له ستر پوځ (روم) سره مقابله وکړي.

☆ محمد بن قاسم ثقفي (۱۷ کلن):
لا تر اوولس کلنۍ نه و رسېدلی چې د سند سیمه یې فتح کړه، او د خپل وخت له تر ټولو هوښیارو او سترو نظامي قومندانانو څخه و.

☆ زید بن ثابت (۱۳ کلن):
په دیارلس کلنۍ کې یې د وحی لیکل پیل کړل، او د رسول الله ﷺ په غوښتنه یې یوازې په ۱۷ شپو کې سریاني او عبري ژبې زده کړې تر څو د هغه ځانګړی ژباړن شي، او وروسته یې د قرآن په راټولولو کې مهم رول ولوباوه.

---

اوس زموږ د نن ورځې د ځوانانو حال څنګه دی؟
دا هغه غوره بېلګې دي… او څومره ښې بېلګې دي:

☆ معاذ بن عمرو (۱۳ کلن) او معوذ بن عفراء (۱۴ کلن):
د انصارو دوه زړور ځوانان چې د بدر په جګړه کې یې د مشرکانو قومندان ابوجهل، سره له دې چې ساتونکي یې لرل، له منځه یووړ.

☆ طلحه بن عبیدالله (۱۶ کلن):
په شپاړس کلنۍ کې مسلمان شو، او د احد په جګړه کې یې له رسول الله ﷺ سره د مرګ بیعت وکړ او د هغه دفاع یې وکړه؛ تر دې چې خپلې ګوتې یې فلج شوې او ځان یې د رسول الله لپاره سپر کړ.

☆ زبیر بن عوام (۱۵ کلن):
په پنځلس کلنۍ کې مسلمان شو، په اسلام کې لومړی کس و چې د الله لپاره یې توره راویستله، او د رسول الله ﷺ له نږدې ملګرو او د هغو لسو کسانو څخه و چې د جنت زېری ورته ورکړل شوی و.

’an

✍ Author: Adham Sharqawi
🔖 Translation: Khalil-ur-Rahman Khabbab

✨ {Did you think that We created you in vain and that you would not be returned to Us?}
[Al-Mu’minun: 115]

🌸 Translation:
“Did you think that We created you without purpose and that you would never be returned to Us?”

🪷 Reflection on the verse:

✅ This verse reminds us that human life is purposeful; the world is not merely for eating, sleeping, and entertainment.
We are responsible for our time, knowledge, wealth, and deeds.

👈 Returning to Allah the Almighty is certain;
therefore, the wise and intelligent person is the one who prepares today for the Hereafter.

🪷 The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“The wise person is the one who holds himself accountable and works for what comes after death.”

📌 When Memories Grow Quiet… and Only Deeds Remain…

✅ One day I was sitting, reflecting on the condition of some people who have departed from among us—those who have moved on to the abode of the Hereafter.
❓ I said to myself: Let me see what place they hold today in the lives of their loved ones.
❓ How are they remembered?
❓ And to what extent are they still present in people’s minds?
Then I witnessed something striking.

• Some of them are still remembered every week, as if their separation were still fresh.
• Others are mentioned once a month; they shine for a moment and then fade away.
• And some pass through years without being remembered at all, except perhaps briefly or on a coincidental occasion.

👈 And the greater the distance of time since the separation, the greater the forgetting becomes—except in rare and limited cases.

There I realized that this is neither due to hardness of hearts nor to the disloyalty of loved ones; rather, it is a natural aspect of human life and a mercy from God for the living. For life cannot be put in order if the heart remains constantly attached to every loss, and living cannot continue if grief becomes a permanent resident and never departs.

Suddenly I turned to myself and said, with complete honesty and without any pretense:
This will be your state after death as well.

✔️ People, despite all differences in closeness and distance, will remember you just as they remembered others—and just as you remember today those loved ones who departed before you.
Some will weep for you for a long time, some will offer brief prayers for mercy upon you, and then life will go on; memories will grow quiet, and recollections will remain only in limited corners of hearts.

👈 And here the lesson was bitter in its honesty, yet just in its judgment: after death, one cannot rely on people; rather, the true reliance is on God’s mercy, and after that, on righteous deeds.

👈 What remains with you in your grave—so be mindful—is not the abundance of people’s remembrance nor the warmth of their emotions, but rather:

• A righteous deed you performed sincerely for God,
• A lasting good you planted in this world,
• Beneficial knowledge whose impact remains in minds and hearts,
• A righteous child who prays for you in your absence,
• And the supplication of a Muslim who prays for you in secret.

✔️ So, O soul, if this is your inevitable end, then work for your Hereafter before your name disappears from gatherings and your mention fades from tongues.
Sow what you would love to reap after death, and prepare yourself to meet your Lord—by seeking His help, placing your trust in Him, hoping for His mercy, fearing your shortcomings, and being certain that what is with God is better and more enduring.

’an

✍ Author: Adham Sharqawi
🔖 Translation: Khalil-ur-Rahman Khabbab

✨ {And messengers We have not related to you}
(Surah An-Nisa 4:164)

🌸 Translation:
“And messengers whose stories We have not narrated to you.”

🪷 Reflection on the verse:

✅ If people are unaware of your value and status, do not worry; it is enough that Allah knows who you are.

👈 The fact that we know Prophet Nuh (peace be upon him) does not add anything to the scale of his deeds, and the fact that we do not know many prophets whom Allah did not mention to us does not reduce anything from the scale of their deeds.

• In the army of Harun ar-Rashid, there were twenty thousand fighters whose names were not recorded in the military register, and who did not take salaries, so that no one would know them except Allah Almighty.

• Sa’ib ibn Aqra‘, while reporting the martyrs of the Battle of Nahavand to ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), mentioned the names of some well-known figures, then said: “And others who are unknown, whom the Commander of the Faithful does not know.”
‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wept and said: “If ‘Umar does not know them, they have not lost anything; Allah Almighty knows them.”

📌 Faith in the Day of Judgment and Its Role in Human Life

✍ Farzan Khamoshi

➖ If there is progress in the West, it is because of knowledge and technology, not because belief has been abandoned.
👈 However, in societies that do not believe in the Day of Judgment, luxury is considered a sign of personality, immersion in various forms of corruption is presented as a symbol of freedom, and unhealthy relationships and immoral content in cyberspace are introduced as human desires. Even cheating and lying to gain wealth and money are regarded as cleverness and talent, and people say: “He is very smart!”

➖ If there is no Hereafter, a person lives in spiritual torment.
🌾 This is a point the Qur’an also refers to:
✨ {And indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are in torment and far astray.}
(Qur’an)

✔️ One interpretation of this verse is the punishment of the Day of Judgment; however, it also carries another meaning.

👤 According to Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him), the worst kind of punishment is spiritual punishment.

➖ This spiritual torment occurs when a person imagines that life has an end and that after death there will be no meeting again. One lives for years with a loved one, then that person dies and everything is over. How painful this thought is for the soul, and how hard it is to believe that all there was is only this worldly life.

👈 We once met a friend who had lost his young son.
• He said: For my own peace of mind, I imagine that my son is living on another continent. I have no way to contact him, but I know he is there, and one day I will go to him and see him.
• That is why it has been said:
In exile, death is not the fear of loneliness; for the beloved companions are more numerous on the other side.

👤 The noble Companion Qahqa‘ ibn Aws was asked:
“O Qahqa‘, say something that will make us eager for the Hereafter and Paradise.”
• He replied:
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ is there.”
In Paradise are the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the noble Companions, and the great figures whose names we have heard but whom we have not seen. A believer is convinced that on the Day of Judgment he will meet them.

👤 Sayyid Qutb (may Allah have mercy on him) also recited these verses while imprisoned in Egypt:

🌱
My brother, you are free behind the walls,
My brother, you are free even within these chains.
If you seek refuge in Allah,
What harm can the plots of servants cause you?
My brother, the schemes of enemies will not harm you
If you hold firmly to the rope of God.
Oppression does not last, nor does despair destroy,
Neither prison is eternal nor chains everlasting.
My brother, rise and look toward the horizon,
The call of eternity summons us among the eternal ones.
For the gardens of your Lord are beyond these chains,
And the joy of your soul remains, despite all hardships.

✔️ What joy is greater than this: that a believer knows, through faith in the Day of Judgment, he will never feel alone; he knows he will meet his loved ones again. But if there were no Day of Judgment, a person would lose all this inner peace.

➖ The verses of the Qur’an about the Hereafter are many.
🌾 Allah praises the Prophets because of this very quality:
✨ {Indeed, We purified them with a special quality: constant remembrance of the Hereafter.}
(Qur’an)

🔻 It is necessary that discussions about the Day of Judgment and faith in it be repeated among us, because humans fall into heedlessness. The Qur’an is a reminder—a reminder of truths that exist within our very nature, but which we forget due to life’s distractions. If there were no Hereafter, many calamities would occur in both individual and social life.

Lessons from the Book “Guidance”

💌 Lesson Two 💌

Do not look at everything only through a worldly lens; if you do, you will lose your religion, and you will not even gain a worthy share of this world. If you look at history only with a worldly perspective, you will see that the eye of the world is blind and perceives nothing of the truth.

If you had looked with worldly eyes at Mus‘ab ibn ‘Umayr (رض)—the handsome, pampered young man of Quraysh—on the day of the Battle of Uhud, when his body was covered with a cloth that either covered his head or his feet, you would have said: What a hopeless ending!
Yet that day was the best day of Mus‘ab ibn ‘Umayr’s life. On that day he moved from the narrowness of this world to the vastness of the Hereafter, and from the hardship of the earth to the bliss of the people of Paradise.

And if you had looked with worldly eyes at Suhaib ar-Rumi (رض), who gave up all his wealth so that he could reach the Prophet ﷺ in Madinah, you would have said in ignorance: What a losing bargain!
But when you learn that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said upon meeting him, “You have profited, O Abu Yahya! You have profited, O Abu Yahya!”, you would realize that for the people of truth there are arenas of trade very different from the markets of this world.

And if you had looked with worldly eyes at the hairdresser of Pharaoh’s daughter, while her children were thrown one by one into boiling oil and their flesh, skin, and bones were torn apart, you would have said in foolishness: How heartless a mother!
But if you knew that on the Night of Ascension the Prophet ﷺ sensed a beautiful fragrance and asked Jibril (ع) about it, and Jibril said, This is the fragrance of that hairdresser and her children, you would understand that the battles of faith must be judged by their final outcomes, not by immediate, worldly appearances that the eye can see and grasp.

And if you had looked with worldly eyes at the Battle of Tabuk, and seen ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan (رض) placing half of his wealth at the disposal of the Prophet ﷺ, you would have said in heedlessness: This man has lost his wealth!
But if you knew that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gently touched that wealth with his own hands and said, “From today onward, whatever ‘Uthman does will not harm him,” you would understand that the people of truth are recognized in moments of hardship—and that wealth is a good servant but a bad master: a means that can either save a person forever or destroy him eternally.

📌 Belief in the Day of Judgment and Its Role in Human Life

✍️ Farzan Khamoshi

➖ When we speak about faith and a believing person, this faith has two fundamental pillars:
👉 If someone does not believe in these two essential pillars, in reality they cannot be called a true believer.
• The first pillar: Belief and faith in God
• The second pillar: Belief and faith in the Day of Judgment

➖ The Holy Qur’an, in order to convince us about matters related to belief, explains their function and philosophy.
👉 For example, it clarifies what happens in a person’s life if belief in God exists, and what fate awaits them if it does not.

➖ Regarding the Hereafter as well, God has spoken repeatedly in the Qur’an; a significant portion of Qur’anic verses is devoted to the Day of Judgment.
👉 God explains what happens in your life if there is a Day of Judgment, and what consequences follow if there is not.
👉 In this brief discussion, I intend to touch briefly on some Qur’anic verses that speak about the role and effects of the Day of Judgment.

✔️ In human societies, there are people who do not believe in the Day of Judgment and deny it.
👥 They say:
The Day of Judgment—when did it ever go that it should return? No one has come back; there is no news.
👉 In response to this denial, God presents many examples.
👉 A famous statement is narrated from ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb (رضي الله عنه), who said:
“Lawlā yawm al-qiyāmah la-ghayyartu mā tarawn.”

🌸 Translation:
(If there were no Day of Judgment, my condition would be different from what you now see, and a different story would unfold.)

✅ If there were no Day of Judgment, the motivation for goodness and benevolence would disappear from people.
When a person sees no difference between themselves and a corrupt individual, that corrupt person will do whatever they wish, seeing no consequences.
👉 In such a situation, even a person with some belief may say:
So what is the difference between me and that corrupt person?
👉 This is where a feeling arises, and a proverb such as
(If you don’t want to be disgraced, go along with the crowd)
pushes them to follow the wrong trend of society.

🌾 But the Qur’an addresses the Prophet ﷺ, saying:
You invite people to the straight path; those who do not believe in the Day of Judgment deviate from truth, righteousness, and goodness, and they do not do good deeds.
❓ They ask: Why should I do good? Why should I be a good person?
👉 Thus, no motivation for goodness is formed within them.

➖ If there is no belief in the Day of Judgment, oppression and injustice spread throughout societies.
👉 Because there is no deterrent.
❓ What should prevent a person from oppression, injustice, consuming others’ wealth, and violating rights?
• The answer: Belief and faith in the Day of Judgment.
Those who do not have this belief, as the Qur’an describes, want to
“liyafjura amāmah”—
meaning to live however they please.
👉 For this reason, they mock the concept of the Day of Judgment and ask:
“Yas’alu ayyāna yawm al-qiyāmah?”
When will the Day of Judgment come?
Who says it exists?
Who can prove it?

✔️ We were once in a gathering where a person denied everything and said there is neither God nor a Day of Judgment.
A young man said something very beautiful:
(I believe that a human being must have religion and belief. If they do not believe in God and the Day of Judgment, they will live among people like a wild beast and commit any injustice they want, because there is no deterrent for them.)

🔻 If there were no Day of Judgment, the noble values that people take pride in would be overturned.
🌾 The Qur’an says:
✨ {Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter—We have made their deeds seem attractive to them.}

🌸 Translation:
“Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds appear beautiful to them.”
👉 Meaning that evil deeds appear good, and values become distorted.
• For example, immodesty is presented as a sign of civilization and progress, and they say it is a mark of advancement and development.
