December 24, 2018 - Shaheedi Chaar Sahibzaade.....

Shaheedi Chaar Sahibzaade means "Martyrdom of the Four Sons." These days remember the martyrdom of Guru Gobind Singh's (the tenth Sikh Guru) four sons.
During Guru Gobind Singh’s time as the Guru for the Sikh religion, the Emperor Aurangzeb ruled India. He also ruled during his father’s time as the Guru for Sikhism. His father was Guru Tegh Bahadur, Emperor Aurangzeb wanted to convert all Indians to Islam. He viewed Sikhs as a problem in this quest. As a result, the Sikhs and the Mughals (the Muslim empire in India) fought many times in battle. Guru Gobind Singh’s last battle against the Mughal empire happened in 1705.

In this battle, the Battle of Muktsar, the Guru lost all four of his sons. His oldest two sons, Ajit (18), and Jujhar (14) died fighting off the Mughal warriors.
During the battle, the Guru’s two youngest sons (Zorawar and Fateh) and their grandmother (Mata Gujri Ji) got separated from the rest of the Sikhs. A former servant from their house saw them, and suggested they come with him to his village. They were grateful for his help, and went with him. However, the servant told the Mughals where they were in exchange for money. The Mughals came to the house and captured them. They were locked up in a cold tower, with no mats to sleep on, just straw. The sons were brought to Wazir Khan, the governor of that state. Wazir Khan believed in Emperor Aurangzeb’s vision. Wazir Khan told the boys he would spare their lives if they converted to Islam. They refused, and he ordered that a brick wall be put up around them, so that they were tightly sandwiched between bricks. The boys soon fell unconscious, and then died. They were 9 and 6 years old respectively.

Sikhs remember this day with great sadness and respect towards the sons who sacrificed their lives for their religion. Sikhs go to temple, or stay at home, reciting special prayers..🙏🏻
