Nasser Karimian In Columbus, Ohio Friday Sermon: The Mujahid Seeks Shahada (Martyrdom); He Cannot Be Beaten Because If He Wins – He Wins, And If He Loses – He Also Wins; This Is What Made Islam So Great; Loving This World Is For Losers; Martyrs In Paradise Wish To Return To This World And Die Ten Times Over; Are We Teaching This To Our Kids?
In a July 5, 2024 Friday sermon at the Noor Islamic Cultural Center, in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio, Dr. Nasser Karimian said that the mujahid fights in order to seek martyrdom, not war booty. He said that "if he wins, he wins, and if he loses, he wins." Karimian explained that the mujahid will continue to fight until he loses, and that this is "what made Islam so great." He said: "Loving this world is for losers […] by dying that is how I live, by living that is how I die."
Dr. Nasser Karimian was a guest speaker at the Noor Islamic Cultural Center of Indiana, he is the imam and resident scholar at the Al-Huda Islamic Center of Indiana, and he came to raise funds for a MCYC – MAS (Muslim American Society) Cultural Youth Center, serving Islamic Youth.
Nasser Karimian: "We know, subhanallah, of the things that are paradoxical thinking in Islam, perhaps one of the most paradoxical, is that we think that when the warrior goes to war, he's looking to win. Why? So that he can attain the ghanima – war booty. That's the goal – you go to war, you fight, you become a brave warrior, you win the day, you get your ghanima, your war booty.
