Youth: Prayers upon our Prophet Muhammad. The children of freedom desire martyrdom for the sake of Allah.


Assalam Alykum, brother.


Child: Alykum Assalam.


Youth: I see that you are digging something. What are you digging there?


Child: I'm digging my own grave. Allah willing, I will become a martyr.


Youth: Are you asking Allah to grant you martyrdom?


Child: Allah willing.


Youth: May Allah grant you success. Take care.
