HARAM BIN MILHAN رضي الله عنه

  

(Illustration Only)

Allahu Akbar... By the Lord of the Ka'bah, I have won the victory. Indeed, this is a sight that will not be repeated throughout the ages except very rarely. Indeed, these are the words that came out of the mouth of a noble Companion, Haram bin Milhanرضي الله عنه when he was lucky enough to be martyred in the path of  Allah seeing his blood mixed with the verses of the Qur'an and its letters and interacting with Islam. Haram bin Milhanرضي الله عنه saw it falling from his glorious body after being stabbed from behind. Haram bin Milhan رضي الله عنه couldn't find words to express his happiness other than saying:

"Allaahu Akbar... By the Lord of the Ka'bah, I have won the victory." How did he not express those words while he was a person who was educated by al-Habib al-Mustafa, Rasulullah,, who used to recite to his listeners the verses of the Qur'an that encouraged the believers to strive in the way of Allah and announce the great reward of the martyrs and their position in the Heavens of Rahmaan ar-Rahiim,  Allah said:

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ تِجَـٰرَةٍۢ تُنجِيكُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍۢ ١٠

تُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَتُجَـٰهِدُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ بِأَمْوَٰلِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ١١

يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَيُدْخِلْكُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍۢ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ وَمَسَـٰكِنَ طَيِّبَةًۭ فِى جَنَّـٰتِ عَدْنٍۢ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ١٢

وَأُخْرَىٰ تُحِبُّونَهَا ۖ نَصْرٌۭ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَفَتْحٌۭ قَرِيبٌۭ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٣

 "O people of faith, would you like me to show you a business that can save you from a painful punishment? (That is) you believe in Allah and Rasulullah and worship Allahﷻ with your wealth and soul, that is the best for you until you know it. Surely Allahﷻ will forgive your sins and enter you into the Paradise through which rivers flow, and (enter you) into the abode of peace in the Paradise of Eden. That is a great blessing. And (there are) other blessings that which you love, (namely) help from God and victory that is close to his destiny). And give glad tidings to those who believe." 

                                                                   (QS. Ash-Shaff: 10-13)

۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱشْتَرَىٰ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَٰلَهُم بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلْجَنَّةَ ۚ يُقَـٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَيَقْتُلُونَ وَيُقْتَلُونَ ۖ وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّۭا فِى ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَٱلْإِنجِيلِ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ۚ وَمَنْ أَوْفَىٰ بِعَهْدِهِۦ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ فَٱسْتَبْشِرُوا۟ بِبَيْعِكُمُ ٱلَّذِى بَايَعْتُم بِهِۦ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ١١١

"Indeed, Allah has given from the orders of believers, freedom of self and property by giving "Heaven of Eden, They fought on Allah's road, then they "killed or were killed. ( became Syahid) a true promise from Allah in the Taurat, Injil, and al-Qur'an. And who is the one who refuses to obey follow the way of Islam) from Allah? Most happy with the buying and selling that you have done, and that is the victory of your brother."

 (QS. At-Taubah: 111)

A Salafus Salih said, "Truly this is a business that benefits these souls He runs; your affairs and this property is He who. are righteous then after that we return it to -He gave us Heaven!" It really is a big win!! Allahﷻ has entrusted this contract in His most noble Books (Taurat, Injil, and al-eur-an), and explained the conditions of this contract. The buyer is Allahﷻ, and the price is Heaven. And Baran, the trade is jihad in the way of Allahﷻ the owner of your soul and property. Then Allahﷻ will say,: "To those of you who have sold human souls to U5, i.e. killed, return them to Us, then We will return your souls and property to you in full.  Allahﷻ said:

وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَمْوَٰتًۢا ۚ بَلْ أَحْيَآءٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ ١٦٩

فَرِحِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَيَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَلْحَقُوا۟ بِهِم مِّنْ خَلْفِهِمْ أَلَّا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ١٧٠

"You people think that those who fall in the path of God are dead; in fact, they are living with their Lord by receiving sustenance. They are in a state of happiness because of the grace of God that He has given them, and they rejoice in the order. It is unfortunate that they remain behind those who have not followed them because there is no fear for them and they are not sad."

 (QS. Ali 'Imran: 1,69-170) 

In fact, let's reflect with me on a beautiful collection of hadiths from the Prophet #, about jihad. Rasulullah said:

"a martyr in the presence of God has seven things: Forgiven for him on the wave of his blood, he sees places for him, in Heaven, is decorated with the ornaments of faith, married with seventy-two wives from the angels, protected from torment of the grave  and safe from the day of great anxiety later, placed on his head a crown of majesty in which the "Yakut" (precious stone) of the mahkora is better than the world and its contents, and he is allowed to intercede for seventy people from his close relatives." From Anas رضي الله عنه he said, "Rasulullah, said:

'There is no one who enters Heaven who wants to return to the world and he has no voice on the face of the earth except a martyr, he longs to return to the world and is killed ten times because he sees the glory he has achieved. 

 Rasulullah said:

"Indeed, in Heaven, there is a level that God has prepared for the mujahids on His way, where (wine) is between the positions like (the distance) between the sky and the earth. If you ask God, then ask Him for the Paradise of Firdaus, because it is the top choice highest Heaven and on it there is Arsy ar-Rahmaan, from which the rivers of Heaven flow. "

On the other hand, whoever behaves as a dwarf and never thinks about war, then Rasulullah, said about it:

"Whoever dies while he has never fought or talked to himself about the intention of war, then he dies on a branch of hypocrisy." While Haram bin Milhan lived, he even interacted with the ayat-ayat of Al Quran and the hadith- a hadith that comes from the mouth of an honest and justified person, who does not speak out of lust, that is Rasulullah, then he never fantasized about anything other than being granted by Allahﷻ to die as a martyr in His way. This is the victory that there is no loss after.

He was so worried when Allahﷻ did not grant him martyrdom in His way. Because of that, he began to pray, pray, and humble himself in humility to Allahﷻ agreed to grant him martyrdom. Days and nights passed until the promised day came. There comes a time when Allahﷻ wants to glorify him with that great blessing, which is martyrdom. 


The event happened in the tragedy of Bir (Well) Ma'unah. THE TRAGEDY OF BI'R MA'UNAH The summary of the story is as follows, Abu Bara' 'Amir bin Malik, who was nicknamed the person who was good at playing the spear, came to Rasulullah in Madinah. Then he invited him to convert to Islam, but he did not want to convert to Islam and did not stay away. Then he said, "O Messenger of Allah if you send your Companions to the people of Nejd to invite them to your religion, I really hope that they will respond." He replied, "I am truly afraid that they will be harmed by the people of Najd." Abu Bara' said, "I am the one who provides protection to them. 

Then he sent forty men with him (according to Ibn Ishaq, s while in the book ash-Shabiih, they numbered seventy people, and what is found in the book ash-Shahiih is the correct one). Then he appointed al-Mundzir bin 'Amr رضي الله عنه, one of Bani Sa'idah who was nicknamed 'the one who was freed to die' as their amir. They are the chosen ones of the Muslims, the honorable people, the leaders, and their Qaris.

They move while looking for firewood during the day with which they buy food for Ablush Shuffdh, then share the Qur'an with each other and pray at night. Then stop at Bi'r Ma'unah (a location located between Bani'Amir and HarrabBani Sulaim).

Then they stopped there. Then sent Haram bin Milhan, Ummu Sulaim's brother to bring the letter of Rasulullah, before the enemy of God, 'Amir bin ath-Thufail. This person did not want to see the contents and even ordered a man to follow him and stab him with a spear from behind. When the spear pierced his body and saw the blood, Haram bin Milhan رضي الله عنه said, "Allahu Akbar, by the Lord of the Kaaba, I have won the victory." From Anas رضي الله عنه,, he said, "When Haram bin Milhan رضي الله عنه, that is his uncle from his mother's side - was pierced on the trage in Bir Ma'unab, he did this with blood, then poured it on his face and head, then said, 'By the Lord Ka'bah, I have won the victory."'

TELL OUR PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE MET OUR RABB, THEN HE IS PLEASED WITH US AND WE ARE PLEASED WITH HIM.

Because of this tragedy and also Raji's tragedy that happened only a few days apart, the heart of Rasulullah- was so sore and always filled with sadness and anxiety. Until he prayed for the destruction of the peoples and tribes who committed betrayal and murder against his Companions' This is found in the books of Ash'Sabahiih from Anas رضي الله عنه, he said, "Rasulullah, prayed for the destruction of people - the person who killed his Companions in Bir Ma'unah for thirty days. He prayed for destruction in the dawn prayer on the tribes of Ra'I, Dzakwan, Lihyan, and 'Ashiyyah. He prayed, "'Ashiyyah has committed a sin to Allahﷻ and Rasulullah." Then Allahﷻ sent down the Qur'an that we read to Rasulullah until it was deleted after that. The sound:

" sakaratul maut" our people that we have met our Lord, then He is pleased with us and we are pleased with Him.' Then Rasulullah died his qunut' My noble brother! This is Haram bin Milhan رضي الله عنه ', who aspired to attain martyrdom because he knew the rate and also the rate of martyrdom in the presence of God $6. When Allahﷻ honored him with that, he said, "By the Lord of the Ka'bah, I have won the victory." Will you see in this blessed and blessed nation a person who aspires to achieve martyrdom and strives to obtain it, then when he has achieved it, he says, "For the sake of the Lord of the Kaaba, I have achieved martyrdom?;' We ask Allahﷻ to grant us and all of you martyrs in His way. May Allahﷻ be pleased with Haram bin Milhan رضي الله عنه and all the Companions.
