Revenge it all, don't think again,Burn it off , my mind went insane.Tit for tat, I believe in that,

Am I different from the wicked chap?

The fire in me could not be doused,The infuriated mind stormed aloud. Too loud too hear the feeble sound,

Of the heart which was tramped to ground.

Broaden out the narrow mind,.

Count back ten, uncondition the thought, Can't an ego fight be lost?

Timeless thoughts of a winters stare

Eyes gazing over a landscape bare

Memories drift on a blustery breeze

Dying light ushers in the freeze

Reaching out for a grasp on the present

Stillness sets in, alone and desolate

Frozen trees bereft of leavesFrozen trees bereft of leaves

Stand upright in frosted death

The sweet taste of winter on my lips

The shadow of the pale moonlight in my eyes

Behind the thin drapes of midnight clouds

Amidst the stars shining bright and lucid

Smiles the radiance of the winter moon

Sparkling flakes drift across the skySparkling flakes drift across the sky

Forming crystals down my eye

Creating the beauty of a glistening mirror

Its enchanting beauty in my heart forever

JIHAD m Allah mentioned in His holy book, And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and be- siege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. The command of your Lord calls you to kill them. Kill the Kaafirs, kill them all! their leader shoutedraising his rifle. mj Indeed Ustaad, said Qasim in agreement holding his own rifle firmly. m Qasim was their best bet. His copper lined sword had slaughtered numerous Kaafirs and his gunshots had popped out hundreds of brains. He has been the leaderof numerous battalions sent for the rights of Muslims. m

m The Kaafirs are destined to burn in hell. Let us go and coerce them to Islaam so that they may get into Jannah. the leader said again painting his plan with a tintof white.m

m Qasim along with his partners went to the busiest market of the town. He parked his bike near a tailors shop. His bike was loaded with bottles of diesel and Ammonium Nitrate. He went about twenty meters away and stopped, thinking thatit was the optimum distance to observe the show. Another bike loaded with explo-sives was parked at a nearby grocery store.m

m Qasim looked at the surroundings, put his hand inside his pocket and pressed the remote button. The detonator sparked and the bomb exploded with a deafening sound. Qasim put his left hand into another pocket to press the detonator for thesecond bomb.m

m A child approximately two years of age sat on the street near the grocery store crying and calling out for his mother. He was too young to understand why everyonecrying and calling out for his mother. He was too young to understand why everyone was running in chaos. Qasims eyes met the small childs eyes. He closed his eyes and pressed the button. The childs body was thrown six meters away burntbeyond recognition.m

m m Qasim started walking to the meeting place of the mujahids. His childhood flashed in his mind, when his parents were slaughtered in front of his eyes in the 2002 Gujarat riots. A saying of Prophet Muhammad flickered through his brain which commanded people not to kill women, children and old people or destroy plantseven during wars. He knew for sure that killing children wasnt good at least.m

Abdul Fatir

reading Chapter 9.m

m And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah. Then deliver him to his placeof safety. That is because they are a people who do not know.m

m Now he knew for sure that the chapter was concerned with wartime, fight-m Now he knew for sure that the chapter was concerned with wartime, fight- ing for your defense, behaving good if any of the opponents seeks help fromyou.m

m Qasim held his teeth tightly and headed to the meeting spot. He quietlysneaked inside their leaders room.m

m Hello SirYes Sir the job is done, Qasim did it..Yes Sir this time youll win the electionWe have spread enough terror.Haha, the leader terminated the call.m

m You bastard, you made me kill people for money, Qasim shouted.Theleader shouted for other goons. Qasim pointed his pistol towards their leader. An- other goon came and shot Qasim on his hand. Qasim cried with pain. Qasim wasput in shackles and brought in front of everyone. m

m He has been maligned by the Kuffar,their leader shouted.Youre ashame to Islam,Qasim shouted back.m

m We are soldiers of Islam. We are here to spread it. Shoot him.

m There shall be no compulsion in the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in evil and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearingand Knowing. Qasim recited from the Quran.m

m m A bullet was fired into his head.m M Oh..Lordd.Forgive mm,Qasim mumbled before his breathing stopped. m
