Question
An ISIS member who is presently in Syria has slandered another Muslim who is in U.K., and is planning to have him killed. There are ISIS operatives in the U.K. The Brother is very concerned. He is innocent of the lies with which they are slandering him. What advice do you have? He asks that if he is killed by them, will he be a Shaheed?
Answer
Tell the Brother to recite every morning and evening, Surah Ikhlaas, Surah Falaq and Surah Naas, each one thrice. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) had prescribed this for protection against enemies. He should make dua for protection and believe that whatever will happen will be by Allah's decree. If he is killed by the cowards, he will be a Shaheed. He should not fear. If any one of the ISIS cowards attacks him, he should vigorously defend himself, and die fighting the shaitaan. These ISIS people are devils. The Qur'aan states: "No one will die, but at his appointed time with the permission of Allah." Refect on this principle, and then there will be no need to fear shadows. May Allah Ta'ala protect him.
