Live with the Mentality of a Mujahid

Do you read the verses of jihad and martyrdom and wish for them for yourself? If Allah has granted you the opportunity to engage in the jihad of fighting with your life and wealth in a righteous and legitimate manner, then congratulations to you, and we ask Allah to bless us as He has blessed you. If you have not yet been granted this opportunity, then do not break or become disheartened, but live your life with the mentality of a mujahid.. Learn the various beneficial sciences, both natural and religious.. with the determination of a mujahid, and the strength of a mujahid.. Keeping in mind that these sciences are the weapons of your war, with which you liberate spaces in the hearts and minds of people from doubts and suspicions, from despair and defeat.. and establish therein fortresses of love and glorification of Allah that will not crumble.. Rejoicing in the fact that this work of yours is no less than the liberation of lands.. Practice your social roles as a father, son, husband, brother, teacher, neighbor, worker, professional.. with the mentality of a mujahid, who excels in all of this and gives everyone their due, knowing that mastering these roles are battles in which he wins. And he does not waste his time in side battles or in idle play without purpose. And remember the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to one who came wanting to engage in jihad: (Are your parents alive?) He said: Yes, he said (Then strive in their service).. You are not obligated to renounce jihad and betray it to live your life with excellence and joy, just as you are not obligated to renounce your life because you have the mentality of a mujahid.. but rather integrate between them, and look at the great conquests that Allah will open for you with them if He knows sincerity and devotion in your heart. You are not obligated to be miserable because you have not engaged in jihad, living in despair, depressing, irritable with your parents, your wife, your children, frightening them and others, and becoming a new burden on your nation and a servant of your enemies without realizing it! But live your life with the mentality of the mujahideen whom Allah loves: (Humble towards the believers, mighty towards the disbelievers, they strive in the path of Allah and do not fear the blame of blamers).... a mujahid but be gentle and kind with the Muslims. Live, and live with the mentality of a mujahid, and then you will bear and endure the pains and stabs you receive in the pursuit of your quest and steadfastness.. because you are a mujahid.. and the mujahid is struck by wounds and receives stabs while he is advancing, continuing, and reassured, expecting nothing else... how could he not?! For he is a "mujahid". Remember the man who passed by the Prophet (peace be upon him) and saw the companions of the Messenger of Allah in their zeal and activity, and they said: O Messenger of Allah, if this were in the path of Allah, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: (If he went out striving for his small children, he is in the path of Allah. If he went out striving for himself to purify it, he is in the path of Allah. If he went out striving for show and boasting, he is in the path of the Shaitan). Yes, live with the mentality of a mujahid, and I ask Allah to make this for me and for you a means to reach the jihad of fighting and to grant me and you martyrdom in His path.
