The True Love of a Mother to Her Children
The woman is old, but her fighting spirit remains as light as a young woman. Every speech said is always a driver and boast of people around him. He is, indeed, a poet of two ages, no less speaking in poetic form. Al-Khansa bin Amru, so the name of the woman. She is a famous and beautiful woman among Arabs. He once ran for the memory of his brother Sakhr:
"Every mega rises, he reminds me of Sakhr, unfortunate, and I still remind him that every mega is lost on the western horizon. If not too busy people crying beside me on their corpses, I believe I killed myself."
After Khansa embraced Islam, courage and versatility have been used to enliven the spirit of Islamic fighters. He has four sons, all of whom are taught poetry and educated to fight bravely. Then his son has been handed over to fight for the victory and the interests of Islam. Khansa has taught his son since childhood again so as not to be afraid of wars and confrontations.
In the 14th year of Hijrah, Caliph Umar Ibn al-Khattab provided a combatant to fight Farsi. All the Islam of the various tribes has been deployed to the battlefield, gathering as many as 41,000 army people. Khansa has mobilized all four of his sons to take up arms in the holy war. Khansa itself also went to the battlefield in a collection of female troops in charge of caring for and raising the spirit of Islamic armies.
Hear the advice of Khansa to his sons who will soon be on the battlefield, "O my children! You have chosen Islam willingly, then you volunteer too, by Allah, there is no god but Him, indeed you are sons - the son of a man and a woman I never betrayed your father, I have never worsened your brothers, I never humbled your keturuna, and I never changed your nexus You know the reward provided by God to the people muslims in fighting the infidels.know that the eternal village is better than the perished. "
Then Khansa recites a verse from the surah of Imran meaning "Believers, be patient, and perfect that patience, and establish your position, and obey Allah, may be a lucky man." Khansa's sons bowed solemnly at the advice of his beloved bonda.
Next Khansa said, "If you wake up tomorrow morning, God willing, in a state of safety, then come out to fight with your enemies Use all your experiences and ask God for help If you see the fires of battle getting great and you are surrounded by a turbulent warfare , come your way into it and get the key in the battlefield, hopefully you will triumphantly reciprocate in an eternal home, and an eternal abode. "
At dawn the next day all the Islamic armies are on their prayer mats to do God's commands in the Subuh prayer, then pray that God may give them victory or heaven. Then Saad ibn Abu Waqas, the great commander of Islam, had given directions to prepare as best as the war slogans were. The one-on-one war begins two days. On the third day a massive battle began. 41,000 Islamic militants fought the 200,000-strong Farsi army. The Islamic armies were in great opposition, but they remained convinced of God's help.
The sons of Khansa came forward to seize the opportunity to enter Paradise. Thanks to the encouragement and counsel of their bonds, they are not the least bit afraid. Wagging a sword, one of them ran,
"My brothers and sisters, our elderly mother of great experience, has summoned us last night and provided counsel all the pearls coming out of her mouth are pithy and useful ... God willing we will prove a little more."
Then he proceeded to print every enemy that came. The next is followed by the second child stepping forward and opposing every enemy that challenges. With a fiery passion he ran,
"By Allah, we will not violate the advice of our elders. His counsel must be obeyed with sincerity and willingness. Immediately fight, battle and storm the enemy together So you see the Emperor's family perish."
The third Khansa's son immediately jumped with bravery and poetry,
"Indeed, our old mother is strongly keazamannya, remain firm not shake He has encouraged us to act sensible and sensible This is the advice of an elderly mother who took heavy on his own children Mari! Immediately enter the battlefield and go straight to defend yourself Get a victory that will bring joy in the heart Or travel a death that will inherit eternal life. "
The very end of the fourth child draws a sword and jumps after his brothers. To raise his spirits he was poet,
"I am not the son of Khansa ', nor am the son of Dan nor the' Amru whose praise has long been famous. If I had not made the foreign armies that clustered into the abyss of the bahay, and perished by my weapons. '
Kneeling the four sons of Khansa with a determination to get heaven accompanied by the prayers munajat bondanya in the back line. The battle went great. The Islamic army was initially bewildered and confused as in the beginning the Farsi army used a rifling army in the front row, while the army shuffled behind the beast. But the Islamic army can wreak the elephants with archery and other parts. The wounded elephant is angry with throwing the lord on his back, wielding the Farsi soldiers who lannya. This opportunity is used by the Muslims to destroy them. Farsi crown warlords can be beheaded, they finally run cross-river swarms and dipanah by Islamic forces until the river water to red. The Farsi troops were defeated, of the 200,000 soldiers only a small part of the world could escape.
Muslims are relieved. Now they gather and think of the fallen Islamic army. It turns out that the lucky to meet shaheed in the field Kadisia numbered approximately 7,000 people. And more than 7,000 of the martyrs are four Khansa sisters. Instantly ramailah Islamic army who came to see Khansa informed that all four children have met shaheed. Al-Khansa received the news calmly, happily and the heart did not shake. Al-Khansa continued to praise God with utterance,
"Praise be to Allah, who has honored me with their mensyahidkan, and I am professing from my Lord, that He may gather me with them in eternal abode with His mercy!"
Al-Khansa returned to Medina with the surviving soldiers by abandoning his corpses in the battlefield of Kadisia. From the event of the war also the woman of this poet gets honorary title 'Ummu shuhada that seems mother to people who die martyr.
