We are a people who do not forget our martyrs. This is one of the slogans launched by Bahraini revolutionaries at the height of their blessed uprising. On that day, the martyrs were ascending to their Lord one by one, stained with the blood of martyrdom, and were killed by the criminal Khalifa gang that consumed the blood of the people without mercy. As a result, they washed their hands of coexistence with the people, and realized that the day of punishment for that junta would not be long. Because of the deviant thinking of the ruling figures, they took another path, hoping for safety. They allied themselves with the Zionists, hoping to protect them from the anger of the people. Since the souls of the martyrs haunted them, they began to fear them more after they left this world than they feared them while they were alive. Their ghosts will continue to loom in the palaces of tyrants and murderers, depriving them of security and happiness. Perhaps these tyrants seek to pretend that they do not care about the revolutionary legacy that the martyrs left behind them that moves the masses on the path of revolution, but deep down they know that whoever raises a sword will be killed with it, and that the killer will receive his punishment, and that killing believers is one of the greatest sins: “And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his punishment will be Hell, and God’s wrath and curse upon him, and He has prepared for them a great torment.” The tyrant of Bahrain cannot be a deviant from this divine rule. Rather, his fate will be to stand before the divine court of justice to issue its ruling against him and receive his full punishment for the crimes and sins he committed. This is God’s promise and it is not a false promise.
As for the people, they see in their martyrs the symbol of their existence. They are the ones who explained to them through their testimony the meaning of life, and they are the ones who refuse to abandon the homeland and the people, so their souls remain fluttering in the air like lamps that guide those walking in their footsteps. Therefore, the revolution has never stopped and will never stop. As the number of martyrs increased, feelings of the inevitability of victory deepened. At the beginning of the month, citizens commemorated the martyrdom anniversary of the martyr Nimr al-Nimr, who was unjustly and unjustly killed by the Saudis because of his statements, positions, and connection to the Bahraini revolution. In the middle of the month, the seventh anniversary of the martyrdom of the three satellites: Sami Mushaima, Abbas Al-Sameea and Ali Al-Singace passed. The lives of these three died after the Khalifa thugs fired four bullets into each of their chests. The earth shook and a chant rose in the sky: How far is humiliation from us! The killers thought at the time that the execution would break the will to struggle of the revolutionary generation insisting on change, and that it would break the will to struggle of its youth, but they were surprised by the challenge, steadfastness, and insistence on confronting the Caliphate injustice without limits. The tyrant went mad, and ordered his servants to hand over the blood-stained clothes of the martyrs to their families so that they would abandon the struggle and struggle. The killers did what they wanted. The attitude of the grieving mothers was more proud. Then remember the position of the mother of the martyr Ali Al-Mumen six years ago when she said: I saw nothing but beauty.
Today, the people celebrate the memory of their martyrs with high spirits and souls that grow higher and higher. The reality of the Caliphs, which was covered for a period with powder, became clear to them. Here is the tyrant committing a major crime no less criminal than what he committed when he ordered the execution of the three young men. This tyrant has publicly announced that he has committed high treason by recognizing the Israeli entity and abandoning Palestine and its people. So his servants were receiving the occupiers of Palestine and the killers of Gaza’s children in the palaces of Al-Riffa and Al-Safriya, and they were receiving them like conquering heroes, and in doing so they were adding salt to the wounds of the bereaved Palestinian mothers, and there are many of them. Here the people of Bahrain woke up once again, deepening their conviction in their positions and sacrifices. It is a people of generous martyrs, so it understands the suffering of other peoples who struggle for freedom and sacrifice the blood of their martyrs for the sake of right and dignity. Over the past hundred years, this people has not hesitated to support freedom fighters and the oppressed everywhere. They are a people who believe in their Lord and religion, but they also believe in their humanity, and they set out to support those who need support from the oppressed, regardless of their ethnic and religious affiliations. When he demonstrates forcefully for the sake of Palestine and its people, he is sincere in his position. He is not afraid to blame the blamer in expressing it, and he is not intimidated by the terrorism of the authority that has allied itself with the nation’s enemies, especially the occupiers of Palestine.
Martyrs in Bahrain have a high status among citizens, in addition to their status before God. They are alive and provided for by their Lord, and they are also alive in their homelands and among their peoples. This popular interest in them does not decline or weaken, but rather becomes more stable with the passage of time. Martyrs’ Day has become a memorable day in the history of the nation and the people. It is commemorated in a manner befitting the status of the martyrs and fulfilling the meaning of following in their footsteps. Demonstrations and protests take place, and slogans demanding freedom and dignity and rejecting tyranny and oppression are raised. The demonstrators were often martyred in these protests, because the Caliphate regime does not recognize the values of freedom and the human right to peacefully express one’s position, and therefore it established a “kingdom of silence” that humiliates humans and deprives them of their natural rights, foremost of which are freedom and the right to expression. However, the citizens understood the meanings of freedom, sacrifice, and redemption, so they rushed to the squares at every opportunity they had. For them, life’s meanings and goals are only achieved in an atmosphere of freedom and dignity, without which it has no meaning. Losing natural rights means the death of a person, even if he breathes, because living without freedom is death for humanity.
The country’s youth who sacrificed their most precious possessions were not reckless or adventurous. Rather, they were truly free, committed to the teachings of their religion and willing to follow in the footsteps of their ancestors who liberated nations from systems of tyranny, tyranny and injustice. When these young men were arrested, they surrendered their affairs to God and braved the situation and challenged the executioners. This is confirmed by the written or oral wills they left behind. When their families met them for the last time before the execution was carried out, they were reassured of their situation and satisfied with their fate. They sought to persuade their fathers and mothers to be patient. They also left other commandments to the people to continue the path they had taken to achieve freedom and overthrow the regime of injustice and tyranny of the Caliphs. Martyrdom was their most precious aspiration, and they advanced towards it willingly, knowing that it was the path to liberating peoples and defeating oppressors. None of them was upset or upset by the execution that awaited him. They walked to the gallows and the execution gallows with hearts content with their destiny, reassured by their faith, and looking forward to what God has. They read the Qur’an, performed prayers, and increased remembrance and praise. They became sources of inspiration and hope for those who met them in their cells. They practically contributed to strengthening the steps of the heroes and families. Therefore, the revolution continued and the Caliphs failed to extinguish it or extinguish its flames.
The martyrs may have been executed on dark nights, the moons of which were hidden in shame and the night cast its darkness over people, but they replaced the darkness with light, and they became lamps that illuminated the path of the revolutionaries against injustice and tyranny. Their memory continues to defy time and cross the borders of place. Here they are, the Free People, repeating the names of the martyrs, starting with the martyr Jamil Al-Ali, who was brutally tortured by the Khalifas and tore his body with electricity in May 1980, and Karim Al-Habashi and Mohamed Hassan Madan in the eighties. They did not forget the martyrs of the blessed ninetieth uprising, but rather the two Hanians became lightsabers for the Free People. Today, free people recall the memories of the martyrs who were executed by the tyrant, the last of whom were Ahmed Al-Malali and Ali Al-Arab. It is a giant revolutionary heritage, written by history with their blood that has never dried and will never dry. That heritage will remain fresh in the minds of successive generations, pushing them to persevere, persevere, struggle, and sacrifice, until God decrees something that was already in effect, and tyranny and injustice fall, and the state of truth is established, and that is not difficult for God.
Oh God, have mercy on our righteous martyrs, make them sincere with You, and release our prisoners, O Lord of the Worlds.
