“Sayyid Qutb menjadikan hidupnya, dan mencurahkan penanya, untuk Dakwah (seruan) kepada Tauhid (keesaan) Allah “dalam hukum dan perundang-undangan”, menolak hukum-hukum buatan manusia, serta menentang mereka yang melakukan hal itu (membuat perundang-undangan dan memerintah dengan selain hukum Allah).”

‘Sayyid Qutb based his life upon, and what he dedicated his pen for: the Da’wah (call) towards Tawhid (monotheism) of Allah “in ruling and legislating,” rejecting the man-made laws, and confronting those who committed that (legislating and ruling by other than Allah’s rule)’.

Suami saya adalah Muhammad Yusuf Hawwaash (semoga Allah merahmatinya). Beliau lahir pada tanggal 12 Oktober 1922. Beliau meraih ijazah dari Sekolah-Sekolah Industri pada tahun 1943. Beliau bergabung dengan Ikhwan (Ikhwanul Muslimin) selama masa studinya di provinsi Gharbiyyah. Beliau menikahi saya pada tahun 1953, dan dari beliau saya dikaruniai dua orang anak, Ahmad dan Sumayyah. Keduanya kini adalah dokter, dan masing-masing memiliki empat orang anak, laki-laki dan perempuan.

My husband is Muhammad Yusuf Hawwaash (May Allah have mercy upon him). He was born on the 12th of October 1922. He achieved a diploma from Industrial Schools in 1943. He joined the Ikhwaan (Muslim Brotherhood), during his studies in the Gharbiyyah province. He married me in 1953 and I had from him two children, Ahmad and Sumayyah. They are both now doctors, and each has four children, both male and female.

Salah seorang saudara merekomendasikan saya kepadanya sebagai calon istri, untuk membantunya memikul beban dakwah (menyeru kepada Allah). Ia tetap menunggu selama satu tahun penuh. Setiap kali bertemu saudara saya, ia berkata, "Kami masih terikat pada kesepakatan kita," tetapi ia tidak melamar karena masalah yang sedang dihadapi keluarganya. Pada akhir tahun itu, saya meminta saudara saya untuk menyampaikan kepadanya bahwa urusan ini telah berakhir. Kami pun benar-benar mengakhiri urusan tersebut. Kemudian seorang saudara lain datang melamar saya, tetapi ia [Yusuf] kembali untuk menegaskan kembali permintaannya. Maka saya menolaknya, dan saudara saya menasihati saya agar melaksanakan Shalat Istikharah. Ketika saya shalat, saya melihat diri saya berada di ruang tamu rumah kami di kampung, dan tidak ada penerangan. Lalu sebuah lampu yang terang tergantung di hadapan saya, berbentuk wajahnya. Maka saya pun menyetujuinya, dan akad nikah pun dilaksanakan. Kemudian ia memberitahu saya bahwa ketika ia beristikharah, ia melihat saya berwudhu dengan dirinya yang menuangkan air untuk saya, dan meskipun air itu tidak banyak, saya melakukannya dengan baik.

One of the brothers recommended me to him as a wife, to help him carry the burden of the da`wah (calling to Allah). And he remained for a whole year, whenever he met my brother, saying "We are still on our agreement", but he did not propose because of problems his family was going through. At the end of the year, I told my brother to inform him that this matter was over. Indeed we ended the matter, then another brother came to propose to me, but then he [Yusuf] returned, to reiterate his request anew. So I refused, and my brother advised me to pray Salaat-ul-Istikhaarah. When I prayed, I saw myself in the reception of our house in the village, and there was no lighting. Then a bright lamp was hanging in front of me, in the shape of his face, so I agreed and the contract was made. He later told me that when he made Istikhaarah, he saw me making wudoo' with him pouring the water for me, and even though it was not much water, I did it well.

Setelah akad nikah, ia dipenjara. Ketika dibebaskan, kami menikah dan tinggal bersama selama satu tahun. Kemudian pada tahun 1954 ia kembali dipenjara, dan setelah hukumannya dijatuhkan, ia memberiku pilihan: tetap bersamanya atau bercerai. Maka aku menegurnya dengan keras dan mengingatkannya akan sesuatu yang tidak ia ketahui. Yaitu bahwa pada masa pertunangan kami, ia pernah berceramah di salah satu majelis terbuka, lalu ia pingsan dan dilarikan ke rumah sakit. Setelah diperiksa, kami mendapati bahwa salah satu ginjalnya rusak parah, akibat penyakit lama yang ia derita ketika dipenjara semasa mahasiswa, di dalam sel yang dipenuhi air dingin pada musim dingin. [Pada saat itu] saudara-saudara menawarkan kepadaku untuk membatalkan pertunangan jika aku menghendaki. Namun aku menolak untuk tidak mendampinginya dalam perjalanan ini, karena keadaan yang Allah Yang Maha Kuasa telah tempatkan dia di dalamnya sebagai salah satu ujian-Nya.

He was imprisoned after the Aqd [contract], then when he was released, we married and stayed together for one year, then he was imprisoned in 1954 and after the sentence was passed, he gave me the choice of staying with him or divorce. So I reprimanded him harshly, and informed him of something he did not know. That once during our engagement, he was giving a talk in one of the open gatherings, and he fell unconscious, and was taken to hospital. Then we found that one of his kidneys was severely damaged, because of an old illness he got when he was imprisoned as a student, in a cell filled with cold water in winter. [At that time] the brothers offered me to cancel [the engagement] if I wanted, but I refused not to be with him on this journey because of this situation that Allah Almighty had placed him in during one of his trials.

Dan ketika kami menikah pada tahun 1953, saya melahirkan Sumayyah setelah sepuluh bulan pernikahan, dan setelah itu, 17 hari kemudian, dinas keamanan datang untuk menangkapnya. Kami dulu tinggal di blok yang sama dengan Anwar As-Sadat, yang pada waktu itu menjabat sebagai ketua Konferensi Islam. Dan karena hubungan Muhammad ﷺ baik dengan semua orang di sekitarnya, para penjaga Sadat memperingatkannya ketika ia mendekati blok itu, yakni bahwa dinas keamanan sedang berada di dalam, sehingga ia bersembunyi untuk sementara waktu.

And when we married in 1953 I bore Sumayyah after ten months of marriage, and after that by 17 days, the security services came to arrest him, and we used to live in the same block as Anwar As-Sadat, who was the head of the Islamic Conference at the time. And because Muhammad's relationship was good with all those around him, the guards of Sadat warned him as he approached the block, i.e. that the security services were inside, so he stayed on the run for a while.

During this time, he came to visit me once, and the guards of Sadat saw him, but did not tell anyone, so he was able to return from where he had come. After this, one of my sisters came, to take me and host me during my husband's absence, but when we came to leave, we found the security services surrounding us, and they wanted to arrest me. So I decided that I would not go with them silently, until I exposed their evil system in front of the people who they had tricked, so I shouted in my highest voice that I would not go with them, whatever they do, and I criticized their actions. So Anwar Sadat came out and asked what was happening, so I replied: 'Demeaning of women and invasion of privacy is happening in this black era of yours.' So he calmed me down, and told the officer to carry my bags and take me where I wanted. So I said to him: 'I am going to the house of your master and the crown over your head, the respected Murshid (al-Hudaybi) [the head of Ikwaan]'. Indeed, I remained with the wife of the Murshid and his daughters alone in the house, because all the men in his family were in prison, until my husband appeared, and was tried and sentenced to a total of 55 years.

Hubungan mereka kemungkinan dimulai setelah keduanya dijatuhi hukuman pada tahun 1955, karena Muhammad dihukum 55 tahun dan syahid Sayyid Qutb 15 tahun; keduanya dibebaskan pada tahun 1964. Selama masa ini mereka tetap bersama, baik di penjara maupun di rumah sakit, sehingga hubungan mereka berkembang dan semakin kuat satu sama lain. Mereka saling melengkapi dan masing-masing menemukan pada yang lain apa yang ia butuhkan; mereka saling menyempurnakan. Muhammad memperoleh manfaat dan belajar dari pemikiran (Fikr), budaya, ilmu (Ilm) dan kedalaman syahid Sayyid, sedangkan Sayyid belajar tentang sejarah Ikhwan, organisasi mereka, manhaj (metodologi), dan segala hal yang berkaitan dengan Jamaah dari syahid Muhammad, karena Muhammad telah bergabung lebih dahulu. Maka mereka sangat lekat satu sama lain. Muhammad pernah berkata: "Setiap bab dan setiap frasa dalam buku-buku Ustaadh Sayyid, saya tahu kapan ditulisnya, apa latar belakangnya, dan diskusi tentangnya ketika kemunculannya seperti itu." Muhammad juga melihat Yusuf (as) [dalam mimpi] ketika berada di Leemaan Turah, sementara Ustaadh Sayyid sedang menulis tentang Surat Yusuf dalam bukunya Adh-Dhilaal [Di Bawah Naungan Al-Qur'an], dan Yusuf (as) berkata kepadanya: "Sampaikan kepada Sayyid bahwa surah itu memuat apa yang ia cari: {Sesungguhnya hukum itu hanyalah milik Allah}." Demikianlah mereka tetap bersama hingga setelah syahadah (kesyahidan) mereka, dan para saudara berkata: "Sesungguhnya itu termasuk rahmat Allah atas kedua orang ini, bahwa Dia memilih keduanya untuk syahid bersama-sama; kalau tidak, seseorang tidak akan sanggup bersabar berpisah dari yang lain."

Their relationship probably started after their sentencing in 1955, for he had been given 55 years, and the shaheed Sayyid Qutb 15; both were released in 1964. They remained throughout this period together, whether in prison or in hospital, so their relationship developed and strengthened for each other. They complemented each other and would find with the other something he needed - they would complete each other. Muhammad would benefit from and learn, the Fikr (thought), culture, Ilm (knowledge) and depth of the shaheed Sayyid, while Sayyid would learn about the history of Ikhwaan, their organization, Manhaj (methodology), and anything related to the Jamaa`ah (group) from the shaheed Muhammad, because he had joined before him. And so, they were very attached to each other. Muhammad would say: ‘Every chapter and every phrase in the books of Ustaadh Sayyid, I know when it was written, what the occasion was, and the discussion about it when it appeared as it did.’ And Muhammad saw Yusuf (as) [in a vision], while in Leemaan Turah, and Ustaadh Sayyid was writing on Surat-Yusuf in his book Adh-Dhilaal [In the Shade of the Qur'aan], and he [Yusuf (as)] said to him: "Inform Sayyid that the surah has what he is looking for: {Indeed judgement is only for Allah}." And thus they remained until after their shahhadah (martyrdom), the brothers would say: "Indeed it from the mercy of Allah over these two men, that He chose them both for martyrdom together, otherwise one would not be able to be patient with splitting from the other."

Setelah pembebasannya pada tahun 1964, saya masuk rumah sakit untuk menjalani operasi. Setelah keluar dan sembuh berkat karunia Allah, ia ingin kami menghabiskan waktu di ladang ayahnya. Maka saya memberitahunya bahwa tinggal di sana dalam waktu lama terasa berat bagi saya, terutama tanpa pembantu yang membantu saya dalam pekerjaan rumah tangga, mencuci, dan hal-hal lainnya. Lalu ia berkata kepada saya: "Engkau hendaknya berdzikir dan memohon ampunan selama bekerja, dan engkau akan diberi pahala, serta bersabarlah dan berihtisab (mengharap balasan di akhirat), dalam berbuat baik kepada kerabatmu." Maka saya setuju, dan kami pun berangkat. Pada salah satu hari segera setelah perjalanan kami, ia memberitahu saya bahwa ia akan shalat dua rakaat, hingga makanan selesai disiapkan, dan ia terus-menerus shalat dari pukul sembilan pagi hingga pukul dua siang. Setiap kali saya membuka pintu, saya mendapatinya sedang shalat sambil menangis. Hingga kami mendengar suara dentuman di pintu rumah, dan ternyata itu adalah aparat keamanan. Maka saya membuka pintu kamarnya dan memberitahunya bahwa aparat keamanan ada di sana dan ia hendaknya menyelesaikan shalatnya lalu menemui mereka. Dan ia pun melakukan itu. Mereka berusaha membawanya, tetapi ia meminta mereka membiarkannya hingga ia dapat mandi wajib. Setelah itu ia meminta kepada saya sebuah Mushaf [salinan Al-Qur'an] dengan sungguh-sungguh, padahal saya tidak memilikinya kecuali yang di dalamnya telah saya tulis sebuah pesan kecil untuk Ahmad [putranya] dan hendak saya berikan kepadanya sebagai hadiah. Maka ia berjanji bahwa mushaf itu akan kembali kepada saya walaupun harus pergi ke Mars dan kembali, lalu saya pun memberikannya kepadanya.

After his release in 1964, I went into hospital for an operation, and after coming out, and being cured by Allah's bounty, he wanted us to spend some time on his father's farm. So I informed him that staying there for a long time was hard on me, especially without a helper to help me with household duties, washing and other things. So he said to me: ‘You should make dhikr and seek forgiveness during your work, and you will be rewarded, and have patience and Ihtisaab (looking to your reward in the Hereafter), in being good to your relatives.’ So I agreed, and we travelled. And on one of the days straight after our travel, he informed me that he would pray two rak`ahs, (units of prayer) until the food was prepared, and he continuously prayed from nine in the morning to two in the afternoon. Whenever I opened the door, I would find him praying and crying. Until we heard a bang at the door of the house, and found it was the security services. So I opened the door to his room, and informed him that the security services were there and that he should finish his prayer and see them. And he did just that. They tried to take him with them, but he asked them to leave him until he could make ghusl. He then asked me extensively for a Mushaf [copy of the Qur'aan], but I did not have except the one which I had written a small message to Ahmad [the son] and was going to give him as a present. So he promised me that it would return to me even if it had to go to Mars and back, so I gave it to him.

Mereka meminta kami untuk melakukan kunjungan terakhir kepadanya, sebelum pelaksanaan hukuman. Maka saya membawa Ahmad dan Sumayyah bersama saya. Saya menyiapkan makanan yang enak untuknya, lalu kami pergi menemuinya, tetapi mereka menolak membiarkan saya membawa makanan itu masuk. Mereka terus membawa kami ke dalam sebuah tenda untuk menunggu beberapa waktu, lalu memindahkan kami ke tenda lain, hingga kami telah masuk ke empat tenda. Akhirnya para penjaga membawanya, menyeretnya dengan cara yang merendahkan, dan "melemparkannya" di hadapan kami di dalam tenda. Muhammad ﷺ berkata: "Aku tidak tahu apa yang harus kusesali? Mereka ingin aku mengajukan permintaan maaf dan menyesali apa yang telah kulakukan, tetapi apa yang telah kulakukan sehingga aku harus menyesal?" Ketika saya meminta petugas untuk membawa masuk makanan, dan ia menolak, Muhammad ﷺ berkata kepada saya: "Jangan lelah, dan jangan buang waktu yang bisa kita habiskan bersama. Jika mereka membawa makanan masuk, mereka akan memaksaku untuk makan sekarang, padahal aku sedang berpuasa." Ahmad pergi dan duduk di pangkuan ayahnya sambil terus menangis, berkata: "Anak-anak itu terus berkata kepadaku, ayahmu yang ingin membunuh Abdul-Nasser." Maka sang syahid menjawabnya: "Timbangan hari ini terbalik, dan tidak akan diluruskan hari ini, sesungguhnya: 'Kami akan memasang timbangan yang adil pada Hari Kiamat.'" Ia berpesan kepadaku agar berbuat baik kepada anak-anak, dan aku berpesan kepadanya agar berbuat baik kepada dirinya sendiri, lalu kunjungan pun berakhir. Pada pagi hari 29 Agustus 1966, pukul [jam tidak tercantum] pagi, radio menyiarkan berita bahwa hukuman telah dilaksanakan atas ketiga Syahid itu. Saat itu saya sedang menyiapkan sarapan, maka saya terus mengucapkan "Inna lillaahi wa innaa ilayhi raaji`oon", dan memohon ampunan, dengan air mata yang tak henti mengalir, sementara tidak seorang pun menyadari keadaanku. Para pembunuh tidak puas dengan ini, lalu memanggilku dan memintaku menandatangani pernyataan bahwa tidak akan ada shalat jenazah baginya. Mereka memberiku barang-barangnya, tetapi Mushaf (Al-Qur'an) milik Ahmad tidak termasuk di antaranya.

The asked us to pay the final visit to him, before the carrying out of the sentence, so I took Ahmad and Sumayyah with me. I prepared for him good food, and we went to see him, but they refused to let me take the food in. They kept taking us into a tent to wait for some time, then taking us to another, until we had been into four tents, and in the end the guards brought him, dragging him in a derogatory manner, and 'threw' him in front of us inside the tent. And Muhammad would say: ‘I don't know what to be regretful over? They want me to put forward an apology and regret over what I have done, but what have I done to be regretful over?’ And when I asked the officer to bring in the food, and he refused, Muhammad said to me: "Don't tire yourself, and waste the time that we can spend together. If they bring the food in, then they will insist that I eat now, and I am fasting." Ahmad went and sat on his father’s lap and kept crying saying: "The boys keep saying to me, you whose father wanted to kill Abdul-Nasser". So the shaheed replied to him: "The scales today are reversed, and they will not be corrected today, indeed: ‘We Shall set up the Scales of Justice for the Day of Judgment.’ He advised me to good with the children, and I advised him to good with himself, and the visit ended. On the morning of 29th of August 1966, at [number missing] in the morning, the radio broadcast the news that the sentence had been carried out on the three Martyrs. And I was preparing breakfast at the time, so I kept saying ‘Inna lillaahi wa innaa ilayhi raaji`oon’, and seeking forgiveness, with my tears not stopping, while no- one was aware of my situation. The murderers were not content with this, and sent for me, and made me sign acceptance that there would not be a janaazah (funeral prayer) for him, and they gave me his things but Ahmad's Mushaf (Qur’an) was not amongst them.

Beliau (semoga Allah merahmatinya) berakhlak mulia. Salah satu sifat beliau yang paling penting adalah kedermawanannya. Pembantu rumah tangga yang dahulu bekerja untuk beliau pernah mengeluhkan kepada saya, setelah akad nikah, bahwa beliau tidak makan dari makanan yang biasa ia siapkan, karena rumah beliau selalu terbuka bagi saudara-saudara yang menjadi pelajar, yang jauh dari kampung halaman, atau yang sedang dalam kesulitan. Baik beliau ada di rumah maupun tidak, mereka akan masuk dan makan, mengenakan pakaian beliau apa pun yang mereka inginkan, dan terkadang mengambil uangnya. Kemudian beliau pulang dan makan keju serta halaawah yang dibeli dari toko kelontong.

He (may Allah have mercy on him), was of kind manners. One of his most important attributes was his generosity. The helper who used to work for him, once complained to me after the Aqd (marriage contract), that he did not eat from the food that she would prepare, because his house was always open to the brothers who were students, away from home or in hardship. Whether he was there or not, they would come in and eat, wear whatever of his clothes they wished and sometimes take his money, then he would come back and eat cheese and halaawah from the grocers.

Begitu pula Ithaar [mendahulukan orang lain]. Ia sama sekali tidak mau menerima adanya salah paham antara dirinya dan saudara-saudaranya. Sebagaimana ia bersih dalam tubuh dan akhlaknya. Ia mandi (ghusl) lebih dari lima kali sehari, terpisah dari wudu'.

Similarly Ithaar [preference of others]. He would not accept at all that there could be a misunderstanding between him and his brothers. Just as he was clean in body and manners. He would make ghusl more than five times a day apart from wudoo'.

Surat-suratnya dari penjara adalah pelajaran Tarbiyah [pendidikan] dalam Aqidah [keyakinan], Iman [keimanan], Sabr [kesabaran], dan Istiqamah [keteguhan]. Surat-surat itu menjadi bekal bagi saya di jalan ini, dan berikut ini beberapa contohnya:

His letters from prison were Tarbiyah [educative] lessons in Aaqeedah [belief], Imaan [faith], Sabr [patience], and Istiqamaah [steadfastness]. They were a provision for me on this path, and here are some examples:

Sebagaimana beliau lembut dalam perasaan, beliau akan meletakkan tangannya di tempat yang sakit, dan merawatnya dengan kelembutan serta obat yang lembut. Ia berkata dalam surat lain;

Just as he was gentle in feelings, he would place his hand on the place of pain, and would nurse it with softness, and gentle medicine. He says in another letter;

Dan inilah yang ia tulis di dalam sebuah mushaf Kitab Allah Yang Maha Kuasa yang ia berikan kepadaku sebagai hadiah:

And here is what he wrote in a copy of the Book of Allah Almighty which he gave to me as a present:

Ya, saya banyak mendengar dari saudara-saudaranya yang berbicara tentang dia. Salah seorang saudara pernah bertanya kepadanya musim apa yang paling ia sukai, dan ia menjawab: "Musim gugur, karena berguguran daun mengingatkanku pada berakhirnya waktu yang telah ditentukan bagi seseorang." Ia juga melihat Nabi ﷺ lebih dari sekali, dan Yusuf (as) serta 'Eesaa (as), dan ia sering mendapat mimpi yang benar. Ia memberitahu salah seorang saudaranya bahwa suatu kali, dalam keadaan tidak sadarkan diri ketika sujud pada malam hari, sel-sel dibuka bagi mereka untuk keluar dan orang-orang dari dinas keamanan dimasukkan ke dalamnya, dan hal ini terjadi setelah tahun 1967. Ia juga melihat dirinya bersama sekelompok sahabat (Sahabat Nabi), memberikan bay'ah (janji setia) kepada Nabi ﷺ, dan ketika tiba gilirannya untuk memberikan bay'ah, ia berkata: "Wahai Rasulullah, apakah kami telah mengubah sesuatu setelah engkau? Apakah kami telah menggantikan sesuatu setelah engkau?" Maka beliau menjawab: "Tidak, tetapi kalian amanah, amanah, amanah." Saudara-saudaranya berkata bahwa jika ia sangat lelah dalam antrean, ia akan berkata: "Ya Tuhanku, betapa lembutnya Engkau." Dan jika mereka membicarakan penyiksaan di hadapannya, ia akan menjawab dengan firman-Nya: ({...maka biarkanlah mereka dalam kesesatan mereka yang bermain-main}) (Al-An'aam: 91)

Yes, I heard a lot from his brothers speaking about him. One of the brothers had asked him which season was his favourite, and he replied: ‘Autumn, as the falling of the leaves reminds me of the end of one's allotted time.’ He also saw the Prophet T more that once, and Yusuf (as) and `Eesaa (as), and he would have true visions. He informed one of his brothers that once in a moment of unconsciousness during his sujood [prostration] during the night, that the cells were opened for them to leave and men from the security services was put in them, and this happened after 1967. And he saw himself with a group of the sahaabah (companions), giving bay`ah (oath of allegiance) to the Prophet T, and when his turn came, to give bay`ah, he said: "Oh Messenger of Allah, have we changed things after you? Have we replaced things after you?" So he replied: "No, but you are trustworthy, trustworthy, trustworthy." His brothers say that if he would become very tired in the queues he would say: ‘Yes my Lord, how gentle you are.’ And if they spoke about torture in front of him, he would reply: (...then leave them in their wasteful discourse and trifling) (Al-An`aam:91)

Dan jika mereka membicarakan dengannya tentang harapan-harapan hukuman, dia akan berkata: "Sesungguhnya mereka ini tidak berhak menetapkan hukum, dan hanya milik Allah penetapan hukum. Allah tidak menetapkan hukum kecuali dengan kebenaran, dan mereka yang mereka seru selain Dia, tidak menetapkan hukum apa pun. Apakah kita dan mereka, sementara berada dalam genggaman Allah, bagaikan sebutir atom? Jika Allah memandang kita layak untuk mati syahid, Dia akan memilih kita untuknya, dan jika tidak, maka qadar Allah akan melewati kita dan mereka."

Setelah kesyahidannya, saya melihat diri saya berada di desa tempat saudara perempuannya tinggal, berdiri di belakang rumahnya, dan di hadapan saya terbentang ladang yang tak berujung, seolah-olah saya tersesat. Kemudian seekor burung besar terbang melintasi ladang-ladang itu, ukurannya sangat besar. Lalu saya melihatnya lagi, bertengger di atas sebuah tiang yang menjulang hingga ke langit, dan di antara kedua kakinya ada putra saya, Ahmad, berdiri sambil menunjuk saya ke sebuah jalan yang ujungnya tidak dapat saya lihat. Di jalan itu terdapat barisan-barisan Ikhwan yang berbaris, maka saya pun pergi untuk melihat keadaannya, dan saya melihat bulan, sangat besar dan sangat terang, di ujung jalan ini.

After his Martyrdom, I saw myself in the village in which his sister lives, standing behind her house and in front of me, the field extending with no end, as if I was lost. Then a great bird came over the fields, and it was huge in size, then I saw it again, standing on a pole that reached into the sky, and between its feet, my son Ahmad, standing, and pointing me to a path, the end of which I could not see. On it were marching lines of the Ikhwaan, so I went to look at the situation, and I saw the moon, extremely huge, and very bright, at the end of this path.

Dan setelah kesyahidannya juga, ayahnya pergi haji, dan ketika ia kembali, aku memanggilnya untuk datang dan meringankan kesedihan anak-anak karena kepergian ayah mereka, dan aku memanggil anak-anaknya yang lain dan cucu-cucunya. Namun aku mendapati dirinya sama sekali mengabaikan anak-anakku dan malah memperhatikan yang lain, dan aku melihat kesedihan di wajah putriku Sumayyah, dan aku merasa tertekan dan tidak bahagia sepanjang hari. Maka aku tidur dalam keadaan sedih karenanya, lalu aku melihat syahid Muhammad membungkuk di samping tempat tidur dan berkata: "Jangan bersedih, aku menerima hakmu."

And after his Martyrdom also, his father went to hajj, and when he returned, I called him to come and lighten the sadness of the children because of the leaving of their father, and I called his other children and grandchildren. But I found him completely ignoring my children and taking interest in the others, and I saw the sadness on the face of my daughter Sumayyah, and I was depressed and unhappy all day. So I slept while I was sad for her, then I saw the shaheed Muhammad bend over next to the bed and say: "Don't be sad, I accept your right."

Ketika mereka memenjarakannya pada tahun 1965, dan ia membawa mushaf [Al-Qur'an] bersamanya, saya tidak menemukannya di antara barang-barang peninggalannya setelah kesyahidannya. Dan setelah dua puluh tahun, ketika kami berada di Madinah, di rumah putri saya dan suaminya, saya melihatnya di rak buku, lalu saya bertanya kepada suami putri saya dari mana ia memperoleh mushaf ini. Ia menjawab bahwa ketika ia berada di Haram, seorang wanita mendengar saudara-saudaranya memanggilnya, lalu wanita itu mendatanginya dan berkata: "Apakah engkau si fulan?" Ia menjawab membenarkan. Wanita itu berkata: "Tunggulah aku dan jangan pergi sampai aku menyerahkan amanah kepadamu." Kemudian wanita itu memberitahunya bahwa suaminya telah memberinya mushaf ini, yang ia ambil dari sang syahid, dan menyuruhnya untuk membawanya kepada keluarganya. Mushaf ini pernah dibawa ke Prancis, London, dan Arab Saudi, hingga akhirnya sampai kepada kami dua puluh tahun kemudian. Dan saya tidak menyangka bahwa Allah Yang Mahakuasa telah menunaikan janji sang syahid.

When they imprisoned him in 1965, and he took the mushaf [Qur’an] with him, I did not find it in the belongings after his Martyrdom. And after twenty years, while we were in Madeenah, in the house of my daughter and her husband, I saw it on the shelves, so I asked my daughter's husband where he got this mushaf from so he said that during his being in the haram, a woman heard his brothers calling him, so she went to him, and said: ‘Are you so and so?’, do he replied in the affirmative. She said: ‘Then wait for me and do not leave until I give you a trust.’ Then she informed him that her husband had given her this mushaf that he had taken from the shaheed and told her to take it to his relatives. And that this mushaf had been to France, London and Saudi Arabia, until it eventually reached us 20 years later. And I do not expect that Allah Almighty had fulfiled the promise of the shaheed.

Saya memohon kepada Allah Yang Maha Kuasa agar saya tetap berada di atas perjanjian (ikrar), tidak berubah setelah kepergianmu, dan agar kamu kini berada di tingkatan para Syuhada dan Shiddiqin, dan agar Allah Yang Maha Kuasa mengumpulkan saya bersamamu: {Mereka dan istri-istri mereka berada dalam naungan yang teduh, bersandar di atas dipan-dipan} (Surah Yaa-Siin: 56).

I pray to Allah Almighty that I am still upon the covenant, and have not changed after you, and that you are now in the levels of the Shuhadaa [Maryrs] and Sideeqeen [Truthful], and that Allah Almighty gathers me with you: (They and their wives in groves of shade, reclining on thrones) (Surah Yaa-Seen:56).
