Introduction
Jawn bin Huwai is a significant personality in the history of Islam. Being one of those martyred at Karbala, he had undergone the reality of slavery since he was in servitude to several masters. However, his last master freed him and urged him to abandon his service and his Imam; yet, bin Huwai and sixteen other slaves refused to leave. Consequently, during his journey, old bin Huwai discovered the wisdom of Islam and became Hafiz, having memorized the entire Koran by heart. Jawn bin Huwai comprehended the greatness of Allah, breathed, and perished for him in the battle of Karbala, sacrificing himself for a righteous cause.
Main body
Before the fight, bin Huwai was preparing his moral and physical strength to reveal them in combat. Namely, he was sharpening his sword, praying, and communicating with his Imam on the matters of the future encounter. The flame of faith burned in his heart, and with the politeness for which he was famous, bin Huwai asked his commander for permission to join the campaign. Unmistakably, he had accepted the possible end of his life. Thus, the man was unhesitant facing death because he realized he was to complete a glorious, heroic deed on behalf of his novel belief.
However, as was mentioned earlier, his opponents did not spare him in the battle of Karbala. Entering the clash, bin Huwai smiled and experienced unshakable confidence. He stabbed the enemies with his sword, recited poems, and stood arm in arm with his Muslim brothers. As a result, having received severe wounds, he was close to death and fell from his horse, yet he was beating his enemies with words similar to a sword. Finally, he took his last breath, probably praising Allah while hostile horsemen charged him to death. Therefore, bin Huwai warred willingly and courageously until his end.
Conclusion
To conclude, Jawn bin Huwai lived without fear and ceased existing, faithful to Islam, the Prophet, and Allah. As a slave, he underwent the path of not just a devout Muslim but a hero-martyr who died for a noble purpose. He was loyal to his companions, commander, and faith, and, with a sword in his hand and verses in his mind, he finally fell. Bin Huwai apprehended the value of word, deed, and belief, which strengthened his spirit, despite his venerable age. He was fearless in the face of mortality and faithful to the end in his thought and action.
