The Scent of Musk The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:By Him in Whose Hands my soul is! Whoever is wounded in Allahs Cause - and Allah knows well who gets wounded in His Cause - will come on the Day of Resurrection with his wound having the color of blood but the scent of musk (perfume).[Bukhari] The beginning of this miracle is witnessed on earth with martyrs; that their bodies do not rot and smell, instead remain fresh and begin to exude a beautiful scent. Aboo al-Muslim at-Turkiyy (1993, aged 51) was a Turkish brother who lived all his life in Britain but who lived the life of a disbeliever. He was married to an English woman and he did not pray or practice anything from Islam. Then Allah the Almighty guided him to the straight path. He then heard about the situation in Bosnia and said to himself, “I should go to Bosnia and I must repent to Allah and I must fight against the Serbs as maybe Allah will forgive me all that I have done in the past.” In one operation against the Croats, the Ameer (Commander) did not pick him due to his older age. Aboo Muslim began to cry, not weep, but wail like a baby until he forced the Ameer to let him take part in the operation. He was shot by a dumdum bullet in his arm that broke his bone. Due to this, metal had to be placed in his arm for a period of six months. Aboo Muslim used to exercise his arm a lot and after forty-five days, the doctor said that he could now remove the metal. Everyone was surprised at how the metal could be removed after only forty-five days. Before one of the large operations against the Croats, he had a dream in which he saw Rasoolullah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) and so Aboo Muslim began to kiss his feet. Rasoolullah said to him, “Do not kiss my feet.” Then he began to kiss his hands. Rasoolullah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said to him, “Do not kiss my hands.” Then Rasoolullah asked him, “What do you want, Aboo Muslim?” Aboo Muslim replied, “O Rasoolullah, please make Du’a for me that tomorrow in the operation I am killed as a Shaheed.” Before the operation, the Ameer Aboo al-Haarith (rahmatullah alaihi) was picking the people to take part in the operation. He refused to let Aboo al-Muslim take part on the grounds that he was still injured and had not yet recovered. A brother who was present at that time said, “I swear to Allah that Aboo al-Muslim cried and cried like a baby and he said to the Ameer, ‘Fear Allah, and I will hold you responsible on the Day of Judgment.’ The brother said to him, ‘Do not shout and cry so loud, the enemy might hear you!’ Aboo al-Muslim replied, ‘By Allah! If you do not put me in the operation Aboo al-Haarith, I will cry so loudly that the whole country will hear me.’ He said to the Ameer, ‘Put me in the operation, even if at the back as the last one in this operation.’ The Ameer said to him, ‘Are you sure, I will put you right at the back?’ He said, ‘Put me anywhere in the operation, right at the back. But include me in this operation.’” And so Aboo al-Muslim went and took part in the operation and even though he was right at the very back, the course of the fighting changed so that the back became the front and he was the second one killed in the operation by bullets to his heart. His body was returned by the Croats after three months along with that of his brother from England, Daawood. It was smelling of musk and no change had overcome his body. All the brothers who were there witnessed that his body had become even more beautiful and white since the last time they saw him.
