A few months after the end of the 1965 war, an elderly Pakistani was sitting in silence in Madinah, silently shedding tears, looking at the Holy Shrine of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Instructor Major Zia-ud-Din Abbasi was the father of Sitara-e-Jarat.
Major Zia-ud-Din Abbasi’s tank was hit by an enemy cannon, from which he was martyred. When asked about any of his wishes, he expressed his desire for Umrah, which Ayub Khan immediately accepted.
Martyr Major Zia-ud-Din Abbasi, the father of Sitara-e-Jarat, was shedding tears while sitting in front of the Holy Shrine of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
The father of Major Abbasi Shaheed inquired about the Custodian of Masjid-e-Nabawi and said that he came from Pakistan. Are there?
On this the father of the martyr said in surprise that yes I am the father of this martyr.
Upon hearing this, Khadim Khas, full of joy and happiness, came forward and hugged him loudly and kissed him and said, “Stop here, I will come back in a while.” He fed his family with great respect and dignity. Everyone in the house treated him with great respect and dignity.
Major Abbasi Shaheed’s father was very surprised that O Allah what is this matter? I don’t even know them, but for the first time in my life I have come to Saudi Arabia.
That Khadim Khas Roza Rasool (peace be upon him) kissed his hands once again and while removing the surprise of Shaheed Abbasi’s father said that when the war between Pakistan and India was going on, on the night of September 11, I had a dream. I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sitting with his glorious Companions.
A few moments later, Hazrat Ali (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) came to the place carrying a corpse in his hands. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to his companions: They have been fighting against the infidels.
The servants of the Prophet’s Mosque say that the Messenger of Allah
Everyone, including the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), offered his funeral prayers and ordered that he be buried in Janat al-Baqi.
On the same day, a new war anthem was being aired on Radio Pakistan.
Go whatever
After drinking the cup of martyrdom, you may have been taken in the arms of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). Ali will be swinging at your martyrdom.
