Abu Asim As-San'aani (Adil Husni al-Wadi), from Yemen. Killed during battles against the
Communist Forces in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, in 1989. Written by Shaheed Sheikh Abdullah
Azzam.
"Allah
Alone is Sufficient for me, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs."
It was the night of Monday, 3rd June
1989. Abu Asim ended his guard duty at Quba - one of the frontal positions belonging to
the Mujahideen around the city of Jalalabad, where he spent most of his days in the Jihad.
He prayed the morning prayer and slept in his trench.
The roar of the artillery that night
was strong, and continued throughout the night. A 120mm missile unexpectedly landed,
exploding between the feet of Abu Asim, upon which his first words were, "Allah Alone
is Sufficient for me, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs." Then he repeated the
Shahaadah, and continued to repeat it until his soul ascended to its Creator, pleased with
itself and pleasing unto Him, by the will of Allah.
Adil Husni al-Wadi, known to his
Mujahideen brothers as Abu Asim As-San'aani, was born in Yemen in 1970, to a noble and
conservative family. He lived, drinking from the fountain of the Quran and its teachings,
and striving to establish Islam in his self, his family, and his homeland. He perceived
the world around him as being in darkness, with many of its inhabitants living unaware and
forgetful, in a deluge of self-slavery, desire and Satanic influences.
He turned here and there, searching
for a ray of sun, a new light, and a noble identity. The dawn shined upon his heart and
the correct path became obvious to him when he heard the caller cry "O Army of Allah!
Ride, and wish for Allah!"
Abu Asim bade farewell to his good
family, his beloved and his friends and dressed in the clothes of Jihad, shouting in his
loudest voice, "Here I am, at your service, O Land of Jihad!" He emigrated with
his soul and his wealth, leaving everything behind, desiring honour, and asking Allah to
equip him with victory and steadfastness. He was, may Allah have mercy with his soul,
constant in remembering Allah and supplicating to Him, and constantly increasing in his
obedience to Allah, with the hope of being granted martyrdom.
In this manner, the martyr Abu Asim
passed away, distinguished with this most honourable death. Indeed, distinguished in this
most honourable life spent in the Path of Allah. Brother Abu Muhammad (from Yemen) and
Brother Abu Antar (also from Yemen) mentioned that they smelt a beautiful smell emanating
from his body after his martyrdom.
"Think not of
those who are killed in the way of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive, with their Lord,
and they have provision." [Quran 3:169] |
