  • The Condition of People at the Time of Their Death

    The Condition of People at the Time of Their Death

    These are the three types of conditions that people face upon their death. Either they are among the near believers or those below their rank on the right, or those who denied the truth, were led astray from the guidance and were ignorant about Allah. Allah said,

    Surah Al-Waqiah

    (88. Then, if he be of the Muqarrabin,) (89. Then Rawh, Rayhan and a Garden of Delights.) (90. And if he be of those on the right,) (91. Then Salam (peace) to you from those on the right.) (92. But if he be of the denying, the erring,) (93. Then for him is an entertainment with Hamim.) (94. And entry in Hellfire.) (95. Verily, this! This is an absolute truth with certainty.) (96. So, glorify with praises the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.)

    (Then if he), in reference to the dying person,

    (be of the Muqarrabun) who fulfilled the obligations and the recommended acts of worship and avoided the forbidden and disliked matters and even some of the allowed,

    (then for him Rawh, Rayhan and a Garden of Delights.) Theirs will be Rawh and Rayhan; and the glad tidings of these traits will be conveyed to them by the angels at the time of death. The Prophet’s Hadith narrated from Al-Bara’ in which the angels of mercy say (to a dying, believing person),

    (O good soul in the good body that you inhabited, come to Rawh, Rayhan and a Lord Who is not angry.) `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas, “Rawh means rest, and Rayhan means place of rest.’‘ Mujahid said similarly that Rawh means rest. Abu Hazrah said that Rawh means: “Rest from the world.” Sa`id bin Jubayr and As-Suddi said that it means to rejoice. And from Mujahid:

    (Rawh and Rayhan) means: “Paradise and delights.” Qatadah said that Rawh means mercy. Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and Sa`id bin Jubayr said that Rayhan means provisions. All of these explanations are correct and similar in meaning. The near believers who die will earn all of these; mercy, rest, provision, joy, happiness and good delights,

    (and a Garden of Delights.) Abu Al-`Aliyah said, “None of the near believers will depart (this life) until after he is brought a branch of the Rayhan of Paradise and his soul is captured in it.” Muhammad bin Ka`b said, “Every person who dies will know upon his death if he is among the people of Paradise or the people of the Fire.’‘ In the Sahih, it is recorded that the Messenger of Allah said,

    (The souls of the martyrs live in the bodies of green birds flying wherever they wish in the Gardens of Paradise, and then rest to their nests in chandeliers hung from the Throne of the Almighty....) Imam Ahmad recorded that `Ata’ bin As-Sa’ib said, “The first day I saw `Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Layla, I saw an old man whose hair had become white on his head and beard. He was riding his donkey and following a funeral. I heard him say, `So-and-so narrated to me that he heard the Messenger of Allah say,

    (He who likes to meet Allah, Allah likes to meet him, and he who hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him.) The people around him started weeping, and he asked them why they wept. They said, `All of us hate death.’ He said,

    (It does not mean that. When one dies: (Then, if he be of the near believers, then for him are Rawh, Rayhan, and a Garden of Delights.)( and when this good news is conveyed to him, he likes to meet Allah the Exalted and Most Honored and Allah the Exalted and Most Honored likes, even more, to meet him, (But if he be of the denying, the erring, then for him is an entertainment with Hamim. And entry in Hellfire.)( and when this news is conveyed to him, he hates to meet Allah and Allah hates, even more, to meet him.)” This is the narration that Imam Ahmad collected; and in the Sahih, there is a Hadith with this meaning collected from `A’ishah. Allah’s statement,

    (And if he be of those on the right,) means, if he, the dying person, is among those on the right,

    (Then Salam (peace) to you from those on the right) meaning, the angels will deliver the good news to them by saying, “Peace be upon you,” i.e., be calm, you will be led to safety, you are among those on the right, as `Ikrimah said, “The angels will greet him with the Salam and convey to him the news that he is among those on the right. ” This is a good explanation, and it conforms with Allah’s statement,

    (Verily, those who say: “Our Lord is Allah.” and then they stand firm, on them the angles will descend (at the time of their death) (saying): “Fear not, nor grieve! But receive the glad tidings of Paradise which you have been promised! We have been your friends in the life of this world and are (so) in the Hereafter. Therein you shall have (all) that your souls desire, and therein you shall have (all) for which you ask. An entertainment from the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”) (41:30-32). Allah’s statement,

    (But if he be of the denying, the erring, then for him is an entertainment with Hamim (boiling water) and entry in Hellfire.) meaning, if the dying person is one of those who denied the truth, who were led astray from guidance,

    (then for him is an entertainment,) meaning, as a guest

    (with Hamim) that dissolves his intestines and skin,

    (And entry in Hellfire.) he will reside in Hellfire, which will engulf him from every direction. Allah the Exalted said, next,

    (Verily, this! This is an absolute truth with certainty.) meaning, this news is the truth; there is no doubt about it, nor escape from it for anyone,

    (So, glorify with praises the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.) Jabir narrated that the Messenger of Allah said,

    (He who says, “Glory be to Allah the Magnificent and with His praise!” then a date tree will be planted for him in Paradise.) This Hadith was collected by At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa’i; At-Tirmidhi said, “Hasan Gharib.” Al-Bukhari recorded in his book (Sahih) that Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of Allah said,

    ((There are) two statements that are light on the tongue, but heavy on the Balance, and most beloved to Ar-Rahman: “Glory be to Allah and with His praise, glory be to Allah the Magnificent.”) The Group, with the exception of Abu Dawud, collected this.

    Be thankful to Allah Subhaanahu wata’ala

     We can never count Allah’s Blessings.

    Allah Subhaanahu wata’ala says:
    “Is, then, He Who creates comparable to any that cannot create? Will you not, then, take heed? For should you try to count Allah’s blessings, you could never compute them” (An-Nahl 16:17-19).

    We thank Allah for our own benefit:

    If you are ungrateful, Allah is unaffected. If you become grateful, then you have taken the first step towards becoming a true Believer. It is for this reason that the Prophet (Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam ) exhorted us to “Love Allah, as we benefit from His grace” (Tirmidhi).

    Allah Subhaanahu wata’ala reminds us: ” And whoever is grateful, he is only grateful for the benefit of his own self” (Luqman 31:12)

    “For surely if it was not for the grace of Allah on you and His mercy, you would have been among the losers” (Al-Baqarah 2:64).

    There are so many diseases Allah Subhaanahu wata’ala has Saved us from. Only a single mutation in the genes can lead to disastrous outcomes.

    Osteogenesis imperfecta i.e imperfect bone formation (OI) is a group of genetic disorders that mainly affect the bones. It results in bones that break easily. The severity may be mild to severe

    As well as frequent fractured bones, people with osteogenesis imperfecta may have muscle weakness, hearing loss, fatigue, lax or excessively flexible joints, curved bones, curvature of the spine (scoliosis), blue colour to the whites of the eye (blue sclera), brittle teeth (dentinogenesis imperfecta), and poor growth (short stature).

    OI is caused by genetic defects that affect the body’s ability to make strong bones. In dominant (classical) OI, a person has too little type I collagen or a poor quality of type I collagen due to a mutation in one of the type I collagen genes. Collagen is the major protein of the body’s connective tissue. It is part of the framework that bones are formed around. The result in all cases is fragile bones that break easily.

     

    Type II

    • Most severe form.
    • Frequently lethal at or shortly after birth, often due to respiratory problems.
    • In utero fractures

     

    Patient Story

    Raheem Habib talks about his experience of having brittle bones.

    “I break my bones very easily because I have brittle bones. I have so far broken my legs five times and my arms twice.”

     

    Treatment:

    There is no cure. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle by exercising and avoiding smoking can help prevent fractures. Treatment may include care of broken bones, pain medication, physical therapy, braces or wheelchairs, and surgery. A type of surgery that puts metal rods through long bones may be done to strengthen them.

    We are always complaining about how unfair life is. We keep showing ingratitude to our Creator. We get upset over the things that we don’t have ,yet how many times a day do we thank Allah Subhaanahu wata’ala for His countless favours, for all the blessings He Gave us without even asking?

    Always say ALHUMDULILLAH for all His blessings.

     

    “So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?” (Surah Ar-Rahmaan)

  • Biography of Prophet Mohammad (ﷺ)-The DREAM of our Prophet’s Mother

    Biography of Prophet Mohammad (ﷺ)-The DREAM of our Prophet’s Mother

    pic1

    After you finish reading this, don’t forget to send durood on our Holy Prophet Mohammad Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam and share this knowledge with your friends and family.

    Today we will learn about The DREAM of our Prophet’s Mother (Peace and blessings be upon him)which she had before his birth.

    The marriage of his parents was not the beginning of the Prophet’s affair.

    When the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) was once asked about the beginning of his affair, he said, “I am the supplication of my father Ibraaheem Alaihissalaam (i.e., the answer to his supplication) and the glad tidings of my brother ‘Eesa Alaihissalaam .
    And my mother saw (in a dream) that light came out of her, light that illuminated the castles of Ash-Sham (Ash-Sham refers to the region of Syria and neighbouring
    lands).

    Commenting on these words, Ibn Rajab said, “The coming out of this light at the time of his birth is an indication of the light that he was to come with, that the people of earth were to be guided by, and that was going to remove the darkness of Shirk (polytheism, to associate partners with Allah in worship)

    Allah said:
    “O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Now has come
    to you Our Messenger (Muhammad ) explaining to you much
    of that which you used to hide from the Scripture and passing over
    (i.e., leaving out without explaining) much. Indeed, there has
    come to you from Allah a LIGHT (Prophet Muhammad Peace and blessings be upon him ) and a plain Book (this Qur’an) .
    Wherewith Allah guides all those who seek His Good Pleasure to ways of peace, and He brings them out
    of darkness by His Will unto light and guides them to a Straight Way (Islamic Monotheism) .” (Quran 5: 15, 16)

    Ibn Katheer said, “The specific mention of Ash-Sham as being the
    place where his light shall appear points to how Islam will have a
    stable and firm footing in the lands of Ash-Sham.”

    In the end times ,(i.e., just before the end of this world), Ash-Sham will be a stronghold of Islam and its adherents, and it is there that ‘Eesa Alaihissalaam (Jesus) ibn Maryam will descend – in Damascus, at the white minaret on its eastern side.

    It is related both in Saheeh Bukhaaree and
    Saheeh Muslim that the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him)said, “A group from my nation will continue to remain successful upon the truth; they will not be harmed by those who forsake them, nor by those who oppose them;
    (they will remain upon that state) until Allah’s command comes (i.e., a gentle, good wind that will take the souls of all believers), and they will still be upon that state.

  • Stories from the Quran (The birth of Maryam Alaihissalaam)

    Stories from the Quran (The birth of Maryam Alaihissalaam)

    stories1

    The Story of Maryam Alaihissalaam’s Birth (Mother of Prophet Issa Alaihissalaam)

    Surah AL-IMRAN, verses 35-36

    (35. (Remember) when the wife of `Imran said: “O my Lord! I have vowed to You what is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services, so accept this from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knowing.”) (36. Then when she gave birth to her, she said: “O my Lord! I have given birth to a female child, ـ and Allah knew better what she bore, ـ “And the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam, and I seek refuge with You for her and for her offspring from Shaytan, the outcast.”)

    The wife of `Imran mentioned here is the mother of Maryam Alaihissalaam, and her name is Hannah bint Faqudh. Muhammad bin Ishaq mentioned that Hannah could not have children and that one day, she saw a bird feeding its chick. She wished she could have children and supplicated to Allah to grant her offspring. Allah accepted her supplication, and when her husband slept with her, she became pregnant. She vowed to make her child concentrate on worship and serving Bayt Al-Maqdis (the Masjid in Jerusalem), when she became aware that she was pregnant.

    She said,
    (O my Lord! I have vowed to You what is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services, so accept this from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knowing.) meaning, You hear my supplication and You know my intention. She did not know then what she would give birth to, a male or a female.

    (Then when she gave birth to her, she said: “O my Lord! I have given birth to a female child, ـ and Allah knew better what she bore.)

    (And the male is not like the female,) in strength and the commitment to worship Allah and serve the Masjid in Jerusalem.

    (And I have named her Maryam,) thus, testifying to the fact that it is allowed to give a name to the newly born the day it is born, as is apparent from the Ayah, which is also a part of the law of those who were before us.

    Further, the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah mentioned that the Prophet Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam said,

    (This night, a son was born for me and I called him by my father’s name, Ibrahim.) Al-Bukhari and Muslim collected this Hadith.

    Allah’s statement that Maryam Alaihissalaam’s mother said,

    (“And I seek refuge with You for her and for her offspring from Shaytan, the outcast.”) means, that she sought refuge with Allah from the evil of Shaytan, for her and her offspring, i.e., `Isa, peace be upon him. Allah accepted her supplication, for `Abdur-Razzaq recorded that Abu Hurayrah (Radi Allahu anhu) said that the Messenger of Allah Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam said,

    (Every newly born baby is touched by Shaytan when it is born, and the baby starts crying because of this touch, except Maryam and her son.)

    Abu Hurayrah then said, “Read if you will,

    (And I seek refuge with You for her and for her offspring from Shaytan, the outcast).” The Two Sahihs recorded this Hadith.

    Dua from this story to seek Allah’s Protection for your daughter and grandchildren:

    ”And I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and for her offspring from Shaitan (Satan), the outcast.”
