Ali Amer Al-Ja’afrawi, the brother of Saleh Al-Ja’afrawi — who was martyred last night in Gaza — published his brother’s final will, a deeply emotional message Saleh had written before his death and shared on social media. In it, he expressed his steadfast faith in the path of resistance until his final moments.

The will reads:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, who said: “And do not think of those who are killed in the way of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision.”
I am Saleh.
I leave this will not as a farewell, but as a continuation of a path I chose with conviction.
Allah knows that I gave everything I had — all my strength and effort — to stand by and be a voice for my people. I lived through pain and oppression in all their forms, I tasted loss and heartbreak many times, yet I never stopped conveying the truth as it is — a truth that will forever stand as proof against the negligent and the silent, and as an honor for those who stood, supported, and fought alongside the most noble people of Gaza.
If I am martyred, know that I have not gone…
I am now in paradise, with my companions who preceded me — with Anas, Ismail, and all the beloved who fulfilled their covenant with God.
I ask you to remember me in your prayers and to carry on the journey after me.
Remember me through ongoing charity, and remember me whenever you hear the call to prayer or see the light breaking through Gaza’s night.
I urge you to hold fast to resistance — the path we have walked and the cause we have believed in. We have known no other way for ourselves, nor have we found meaning in life except through remaining steadfast upon it.
I entrust you with my father — the dearest to my heart and my greatest example. You were my strength through every hardship. I pray that we meet again in paradise and that you are pleased with me, my crown and pride.
I entrust you with my brother, my teacher, and my companion on this path, Naji.
O Naji… I have preceded you to God before your release from prison.
Know that this is a destiny written by Allah.
My longing for you fills my heart.
I wished to see you, to embrace you, to meet you.
But Allah’s promise is true, and our meeting in paradise is nearer than you think.
I entrust you with my mother…
O my mother, life without you is nothing.
You were the prayer that never ceased, the wish that never died.
I prayed that God would heal you and restore your strength.
I dreamed of seeing you travel for treatment and return with a smile.
I entrust you with my brothers and sisters.
The pleasure of Allah, then your satisfaction, is my goal.
I ask Allah to grant you happiness and to fill your lives with goodness, just as your tender hearts filled mine with joy.
I always said: “The word does not fall, and the image does not fade.”
The word is a trust, and the image is a message.
Carry them to the world as we did.
Do not think that my martyrdom is an end — it is the beginning of a long journey toward freedom.
I am a messenger of a message meant to reach a world that has closed its eyes and turned silent in the face of truth.
And if you hear news of my death, do not weep for me.
I have longed for this moment for so long and prayed that Allah would grant it to me.
Praise be to Allah, who has chosen me for what I love.
To anyone who wronged me, insulted me, or slandered me falsely — I say to you: here I depart to meet Allah, by His will as a martyr, and before Him all disputes shall be settled.
I entrust you with Palestine…
With Al-Aqsa Mosque…
My greatest wish was to reach its courtyard, to pray there, to touch its soil.
If I could not reach it in this life, I pray that Allah gathers us all there in the eternal gardens of paradise.
O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my homeland.
Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy and forgiveness, for I have fulfilled my promise and never changed nor wavered.
Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.
Your brother, the martyr, God willing,
Saleh Amer Fuad Al-Ja’afrawi
