Making a
Wasiyyat
Every Muslim man and woman must prepare a
Wasiyyat
(bequest). The Hadith Shareef has emphasised quite strongly on
it. More especially if a person has
Qadha
Salaat, fasts, Waajib
Hajj or Zakaat, a
wasiyyat
must be prepared. If such a person
does not leave a
wasiyyat
then he/she has sinned greatly. As
long as a person has not made up the
Wasiyyat
, the in will
continue to accrue. It is therefore imperative that if a
Wasiyyat
has not yet been made, one hastens and prepare one
immediately.
There are details regarding the drawing up of a
Wasiyyat
in the
Kitaab,
Tareeqa Wasiyyat
. It is important that a husband draw
up a
Wasiyyat
and leave it with his wife and the wife leave one
with her husband.
We have mentioned this here so that Allaah Ta`ala may grant
all of us the good fortune to fulfil the rights of people and His
rights, and that He grant us the ability to prepare for our
Aakhirah before death. Aameen.
The
Wasiyyat
of a pious husband to his wife
Ghazi Anwar Paasha Turki was a famous Mujaahid, who spent
most of his life fighting in Jihaad. He met his end as a martyr.
Just a day prior to his martyrdom he wrote a letter to his wife,
which was published widely. In it there is much lesson and
food for thought:
To my Beloved life-partner and companion! Your last letter is
before me. You must know that your letter will always be on my
chest and close to me. I cannot see your face, but looking at the
lines written by you, I see your fingers moving, which many a
186
times caressed my hair. I sometimes discern your image on the
tent’s reflection.
Ah! You write that you have been forgotten and your affection
is not appreciated. You say that I love warfare and adore the
sword. However at the time that you wrote this, you did not
reflect that although these words were written out of affection,
nonetheless, it caused blood to flow from my heart. How will I
ever be able to convince you that there is no more a beloved to
me than you in this entire world. You are the epitome of all my
affection and I have never loved any else besides you. You are
the only one who has stolen my heart.
Why then did I separate from you? You may ask this question.
Listen! I did not separate from you in order to amass wealth. I
have also not separated from you so that I may establish a high
throne, as my detractors have propagated. I have only
separated from you because it is the Fardh of my Allaah Ta`ala
that has pulled me here. There is no better obligation that
Jihaad in the Path of Allaah Ta`ala. This is that Fardh whose
intention of execution earns the highest stages in Firdows.
Alhamdulillah, I do not only have the intention of fulfilling it
because it is Fardh, rather I am putting it into practice.
Separation from you is constantly on my mind, but it is this
separation that makes me ecstatic, because love for you is such
a thing which is the greatest test for me. I thank Allaah Ta`ala
that I have succeeded in this test and have placed the love of
Allaah Ta`ala before my own love. You should also be pleased
and thank Allaah Ta`ala that He has placed such firm
conviction in your husband that he has sacrificed his love of
you for the Love of Allaah Ta`ala.
Jihaad with the sword is not obligatory on you, but you are not
excluded from the obligation of Jihaad. No Muslim man or
woman is excluded from Jihaad. Your Jihaad is also that you
give preference to His love and affection over your love and
affections.

Listen! You should never make the dua that your husband
return to you from the battlefield safe and sound. This is a dua
for your personal benefit and Allaah Ta`ala does not like such
duas. You should, however make this dua that He accept the
Jihaad of your husband. Let him return with victory or let him
place his lips on the goblet of martyrdom.
My darling! How beloved will that moment be, when in the
Path of Allaah Ta`ala, this head, which you used to describe as
handsome, be separated from this body…the greatest desire of
Anwar is that he become a martyr, so that he may be
resurrected with Hadhrat Khaalid bin Waleed (radhiallahu
anhu). This world is temporary and death is certain. Why then
must we fear death?
When death is near, then why should a man die whilst lying in
his bed? The death by martyrdom is not a death, rather it is
life, everlasting life.
My beloved! Listen to my bequest. If I attain shahaadat, then
you should marry your brother-in-law (my younger brother),
Noori Paasha. After you, Noori is the most beloved to me.
My second Wasiyyat to you is that as many children as you
have, narrate to them the story of my life, and send all of them
into the battlefield of Jihaad. If you do not do this, then
remember that in Jannat, I will ignore you.
My third Wasiyyat is that you should always keep good
relations with Mustafa Kamaal Paasha. Assist him wherever
you can, because at this time, Allaah Ta`ala has placed the
freedom of our land at his hands.
I will now take leave, my dearest. I do not know why my heart
is telling me that after this letter I will not write to you again.
What surprise will it be that tomorrow I am martyred? You
should adopt patience. Instead of grieving over my death, you
should rejoice, because of my coming to use in Allaah Ta`ala’s
Path you should take pride.
188
Beloved! I take leave now. I am embracing you in the realm of
thought. Insha-Allaah Ta`ala we will unite in Jannat,
whereafter there will be no separation.
Your Beloved Anwar
It should be remembered here that at the time of this letter
having being written, Mustafa Kamaal Paahsa was just a
normal Muslim Mujaahid. He had not yet at that stage taken the
anti-Islaam stance which he later took on.
