When you entered into this world,
you saw people laughing while you cried.
Now it's your turn to leave this world
laughing
while everyone else around you cries.
It was a dhan without salah when you
came in,
and it's salah without a dhan as you
leave.
All of that to indicate that your entire
life was as short as the time between
adhan and salah.
And now,
Allah is calling you home.
As your life comes to an end, just
as your prayer comes to an end, as
Umar radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu would say when he
was looking at the Kaaba,
Allahumma antasalam
waminkasalamfaheyinaa
rabbana bis salam. Oh Allah, you are peace
and from you comes peace.
So greet us, oh our Lord, with peace.
Your family bid you a final salaam.
The imam and the community
won last salaam.
And now you hope to be greeted by
your Lord with salaam.
Everyone who received you into this world has
now either gone ahead of you or sent
you forward.
You're in your new home, and the relatives
who passed can't wait to see you and
ask you about all those who were left
behind.
Walahum ashaddu farahambihiminahadikum
viraibihi
The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said that the
believing souls are more eager to receive you
there than your long lost relatives here on
this earth.
Perhaps there are grandparents who never met their
grandchildren
or an ancestor from centuries ago coming to
see you and pleased with a good deed
that you did to benefit them. There will
be people telling grandparents about their children,
or perhaps some sharing the welcome news with
a parent that passed away that a child
or friend of theirs finally found their way
back to Islam.
Maybe even because of a deed that they
did or because their death shook them into
righteousness.
And those who you have now left behind
continue to send you gifts in the form
of du'as that you taught them
and generosity that you nurtured inside of them.
You received the gift with joy
and wait for them to come into your
world now.
When righteousness transcends generations,
the righteous before us receive us in this
realm at birth and then again when we
die.
Then perhaps we receive the ones after us
in the exact same way.
And that's not just through lineage but through
a legacy of righteousness.
Imagine the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam coming to
receive you,
a special member of his Ummah.
And maybe you break your fast with him,
Abu Bakr and Umar the same way that
Uthman did.
Imagine the orphan you helped coming to you
with even more love than a child for
their parent
because your faith didn't allow you to neglect
them on this earth.
But was your life worth it? Was coming
to this realm really meaningful for you or
for anyone else?
As your good deeds continue to reach you,
you will be pleased with the decree that
gave you the opportunity to do that good
in the first place. The prophet SallAllahu Alaihi
Wasallam said that of the rewards of the
good deeds that will reach a believer after
his death
are ilman aallamahu
wanasharahu
knowledge which he taught and spread.
Wawaladansalihan
tarakahu,
a righteous child whom he leaves behind.
Wamushafanwarrathahu,
a copy of the Quran that is inherited
from him.
Aw Masjidanbanahu
or a masjid that he built.
Aw baytanlibnissabeeribanahu
or a shelter that he built for the
homeless or the wayfarers.
Awnaharanajraahu
or a canal that he dug. Ausadaqatan
akhrajaha
mimmalihi
feeslihatihee
wahayatihee
yalhakuhumimba'adimautihi
or charity that he gave during his lifetime
when he was in good health,
which now reaches him after his death.
As for your impact in the world,
you will never truly know until you see
all of the witnesses of it on the
day of judgment.
Imagine meeting a prophet of Allah who had
no followers.
What was the point of his being sent?
Perhaps as a proof against the people or
to prepare the grounds for another prophet after
him. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam described himself
as the last brick of a beautiful home.
Each brick representing a prophet before
because it takes every brick to build humanity
and every seed you planted in this world
will bear at minimum
the reward of the hereafter.
So keep planting seeds
and trust the one who sets the soil
and sends the rain.
There will come a time where you realize
that it was all worth
it. Your life,
your story,
the one written in the heavens by the
Lord of the worlds 50 1000 years before
this world was even created.
Now witnessed by his creation 1000000 of years
later.
You mattered enough to Allah that he created
you in this world to be a part
of the story.
The incredible moments in your life that bear
witness to the greatness of Allah,
To His aid, to His mercy, to His
forgiveness,
to His justice,
to His wisdom,
to His
love. Your life was worth living because it
was worth Allah creating.
It started from a scroll hanging from the
throne,
and now your soul seeks a chandelier in
that very same throne to be closest to
its Lord.
Your scroll has fallen, but your soul is
just coming home. Wataral mala ikataha
fee Naminhau lilaarshiyusabihhunabihamdirabbihim
waqoldya baynahumbilhaqq
And you will see the angels surrounding the
throne altogether,
glorifying their Lord with praises
and the decree between everyone will be judged
with truth and justice.
And it will be declared
Alhamdulillahi
rabbilalameen.
The story of humanity started with the Alhamdulillah
of Adam
and the grand finale concludes with the Alhamdulillah
of all of creation.
Alhamdulillah.
He made the hereafter an abode to reward
His believing servants only because this world cannot
contain what He wishes to bestow upon them.
And because he deemed their worth far too
high to reward them in a world
that was always meant to vanish.
Oh Allah,
you are the one who decrees in truth
with purpose, wisdom, and justice.
We ask you to fill our decree with
mercy,
goodness, blessings, and light.
Oh Allah, we ask you to guide us
to our purpose in this world in a
way that you are pleased
so that we can fulfill it with the
blessings you have bestowed upon us.
O Allah, we ask you to bless our
families
and to keep us connected with love and
mercy
and to fill our homes with joy and
happiness.
Oh Allah, we seek refuge in you from
broken families,
from being abused or being the abuser,
and from the trauma of toxic households.
Oh Allah,
allow us to be patient with the limitations
of our bodies
and allow us to be grateful for the
health you have bestowed upon us.
Oh Allah,
beautify our souls and make our concern the
beauty of our character.
Oh Allah, as you have made us beautiful
in appearance,
make our inside even more beautiful.
Oh Allah,
grant us contentment in poverty
and gratitude in wealth.
Oh Allah,
enrich us with pure wealth that we use
in your path,
and to enjoy your blessings
without extravagance.
Oh Allah,
increase our knowledge and faith and grant us
firm conviction.
Oh Allah,
grant us righteous spouses and fill our relationships
with love, mercy, and tranquility,
and make our families the coolness of our
eyes.
Oh Allah,
put us back together when we are broken,
heal us when we are sick, and grant
us companionship when we are lonely.
Oh Allah,
grant us an honorable mention in the generations
to come,
and bless us with a lasting legacy.
Oh Allah,
cause us to age through Islam
and protect us from the trials of old
age.
Oh Allah,
make our gray hairs a light for us
in the next life that testify to our
Iman.
Oh Allah,
grant us a good ending
and make the last of our words on
this earth Laa ilaha illallah
Oh Allah,
ease the suffering of the believers all over
the world.
Fulfill their needs, repay their debts,
shelter the homeless, heal the sick, bring relief
to those in distress,
stop their oppressors and end their oppression,
guide those who are lost,
and give light to those who are in
the darkness.
O Allah,
grant us a certainty that empowers us to
face adversity with resilience,
to overcome our obstacles,
to illuminate the darkness with the light of
our faith,
and to allow us to truly see the
light of our decree,
Why me?
Why me?
