Kanal 35, January 25th, 2009 Adnan Oktar: Dying is a blessing. I sometimes see people crying at the funerals of martyrs. The martyrs go to heaven directly when they die. So, why do you cry? Rather, you should rejoice and be proud. The family of a martyr receives honor and their son goes right to heaven. In the world, they won’t see the difficulty. Their son in heaven will welcome his family. If they are people who hope to go heaven, they will be together forever in heaven. What else one desire? Thanks to Allah that a martyr’s going to heaven is guaranteed. Martyrdom is a kind of living. They directly go to the hereafter. They live there separately but they really have no idea that they are in fact martyrs. So, when the people die or are martyred one should not cry. This is something improper. Do we cry when a baby is born? But they cry when a person dies. Allah creates birth and death. In both cases, trust in Allah and see it as a blessing, Insha’Allah. |
