Dua For Someone Who Died?

What is the dua for martyrs in Islam

Who is a martyr in Islam? – Traditionally Martyrdom is considered to apply to those who die in battle, holy jihad. This is known as Shahadah Haqeeqiyyah, real matrtyrdom. Such would include someone who dies on the battlefield, such as the Prophet’s (Pbuh) uncle, Hamza ibn Abdul-Muttalib (RA), who was killed whilst in battle.

1. Such martyrs are buried in their blood stained or injured clothing whereas other martyrs are given the ghusl bath and full funeral rites such as the wearing of the khimar (long headscarf), or clean white clothing.
2. However, the funeral prayer is the same for both.
3. Both require that the family exercise patience until reunited on the day of judgment and that the martyr be granted a high status in heaven in the meantime.

The second type of martyrdom is Shahadah Hukmiyyah, or legal martyrdom. This covers the additional 7 martyrdoms revealed in Hadith and another 25 martyrdoms revealed in the books of Fiqh and hadith. Such include for instance medical martyrdoms. A Martyr is granted the status of shaheed or witness.

1. Thus, the martyr will testify in the way in which Allah wishes him to, such as against himself or his community as revealed in the Qur’an.
2. The purpose for this is justice, so that mankind does not have an argument against Allah on the day of judgement.
3. The Prophet pbuh is a main witness but witnesses are taken by Allah to confirm the truth of the Qur’an for example.

Thus, the martyr is judged according to his deeds and time and place in which he existed. For example, the famous second caliph Umar Ibn Al-Khattab was martyred whilst reading prayer. Such martyrdom dying in an act of worship attracts a higher reward, but he will be a witness as the spread of Islam at the time and which nations had yet to accept Islam.

• This can be important if a Muslim is forced to recant his faith by the enemy and then dies at their hands.
• Such a martyr testifies to his own belief, and other witnesses are taken on an ongoing basis to testify to the condition of mankind.
• Various Qur’anic Ayat’s on witnesses testify to this truth, and for further discussion on this see verses,

Perhaps Umar is renowned for his prayer for shaheed/martyrdom in the following dua; “Oh Allah! I ask you for martyrdom in your cause and death in the land of your messenger Pbuh.”

Asking Allah (SWT) for forgiveness for the deceased, for protection from the grave and humiliation of the Day Of Judgement, and for Jannah (heaven) are common things to ask for when someone has passed away. Here is a sound and common example: Transliteration: Allaahummaghfir li (name of the person) warfa’ darajatahu fil-mahdiyyeena, wakhlufhu fee ‘aqibihi fil-ghaabireena, waghfir-lanaa wa lahu yaa Rabbal-‘aalameena, wafsah lahu fee qabrihi wa nawwir lahu feehi Translation: O Allah, forgive (name of the person) and elevate his station among those who are guided.
