Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr (ra): The Last Martyr Standing | The Firsts | Dr. Omar Suleiman

Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr (ra) was no ordinary child. Born into an extraordinary family, his childhood offered glimpses of the fearless warrior he would become. He lived a long life of piety and courage, serving as a leader in the ummah in one of the most difficult periods of early Islamic history, until he attained martyrdom.

The du’a of Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr (ra) at the end of every salah:

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَلاَ نَعْبُدُ إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ لَهُ النِّعْمَةُ وَلَهُ الْفَضْلُ وَلَهُ الثَّنَاءُ الْحَسَنُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ

La ilaha illa Allah, wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu al-mulk wa lahu al-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadir; la ilaha illa Allahu wa la na‘budu illa iyyahu, lahu an-ni‘matu wa lahu al-fadlu wa lahu ath-thana’u al-hasan; la ilaha illa Allah, mukhlisina lahu ad-dina wa law kariha al-kafirun.

“There is none worthy of worship except Allah alone, with no partner or associate. His is the Dominion, to Him be all praise, and He is able to do all things. There is none worthy of worship except Allah, and we worship none but Him, the source of blessing and kindness and the One Who is deserving of all good praise. There is none worthy of worship except Allah, and we are sincere in faith and devotion to Him even though the disbelievers detest it.” (Sunan an-Nasa’i 1340)
