I know being a martyr is like being killed in the case of persecution because of your belief you are a martyr.
But what if you are oppressed but you aren’t killed but still being persecuted such as being imprisoned for your beliefs or like what is going on in China where they do indeed imprison people who are Muslim?
I had recently been oppressed for my beliefs and had to spend from Saturday to Tuesday in a psychiatric hospital because police said I was a supporter of Hamas and I wanted to kill Christians and Jews which is something I’ve never even said. But they took me to the hospital and then they put me to the psychiatric hospital on the basis of being homicidal. They said I said these things over Reddit which most of the time I spend on Reddit is talking about Islam I’ve had open respectful discussions with both Jews and Christians on Reddit and have never wished them harm but even then when police go like you did say things you never said and their not willing to even take things for context they come after you.
All of it makes me wonder if that time wasted of my life actually will bring some good. It actually gave me a reason to take Islam way more seriously.
InshAllah it will bring good and seems like it already has since you say it made you take Islam more seriously. May the good continue.
Allah indeed rewards those who face oppression for His cause greatly and it is a test for us, to see whether we cling on to faith proving that we truly believe or whether we give it up. Your time wasnt wasted.
But thats concerning how they accused you for something you didnt do, hopefully you do not let it slide in order to get justice and also help protect other muslims from getting treated that way.
