Poppies of Palestine, like the shuhada, they do not die. Rather, they are alive-nourished by our Lord, blooming in our hearts, and in the seeds of resiliance they have sown. The martyr’s rule begins the moment his blood is spilled.
“And do not say of those who are slain in Allah’s way: ‘They are dead.’ Nay (they are) alive, but you perceive (it) not.” [2:154]
