Oh you Muslim women! Be Aware of extravagance for it is the enemy of jihad and it causes the death of the human soul. Beware of complementary commodities and stick to the basic necessities. Bring up your children to be brave and courageous. Let your houses be places for lions not chicken farms in which your sons will be fed then slaughtered by tyrants like sheep. Instill in the hearts of your sons the love for Jihad and the love of battlefields. Share the problems of Muslim Ummah. Live one day a week like refuges and Mujahideen live. They live on dry bread and tea.
Oh! You children of Islam! Get accustomed to the noise of bombs, mortar shells and the sounds of jet fighters and tanks and avoid luxury.
Oh! You wife of mine! I have too much to say to you, May Allah reward you on my behalf and on the behalf of the Muslims.You were patient with me and you stood by me though out the thick and the thin with patience and courage. From you I got the support I needed to carry on this Jihad. I let you assume the responsibility of the house in 1969, when we had three small children living in one small room with no kitchen and no utilities. When the family became larger, the children grown up and our guests increased, You tolerated this and much more for Allah and my sake. I pray that Allah reward you on My behalf. Had it not been for your patience, I would have never been able to bear this burden alone, you are a content wife who doesn’t care for material things and you never complained about having too little of it. You have never been extravagant when we have had some wealth.
The life of Jihad is the most joyous life, tolerating difficulties is better than living luxuriously. Be content Allah will love you, have no desire for what other people have, people will love you. Qur’an is the joy of life, tahajjud, extra fasting, asking Forgiveness. All these makes the heart transparent and worship sweet. Sticking to the basic needs, lawful goodies, keeping distance from glamour and extravagance brings peace and serenity to the heart. I pray to Allah that he unites us in paradise as he united us in life.
