*Today's Inspiring Story*
There was Mosque in Syria and close to it was a railway for trains. Just a few minutes after Isha prayer, we heard a cry of a young man, shouting and saying a train has crushed someone. We gathered at the scene and saw the victim.
He was a young man of 19 years. He was cut into two, and the train took the left side of the man. He was still alive (Glorified be Allaah, Who sustains and protects all that exist). The other half of his body was shaking, his heart was beating, and he was breathing as could be seen from his lungs.
He was alive still! Someone went close to him, held his head, and whispered in his ears,
"Say Laa Ilaaha Illal Laah, say Laa Ilaaha Illal Laah". The half body of the young man was shaking, and he uttered
"Ashhadu Al laah Ilaaha Illal Laah, Wa Ashhadu Anna Muhammadar Rasul ul laah" repeatedly. The half body stopped shaking, and his soul departed to its Creator (AlmightyAllaah). The young man was dead. He died with Laa Ilaaha Illal laah as his last words. The people called for a stretcher to carry his remains. The night was very dark. The people switched on the lights of their handsets. They searched his clothes to get his address.
One of them shouted "Yaa Allaah! He was a Christian. See cross on his hand!
They murmured in confusion," he died after he uttered) Laa Ilaaha Illal laah. Do we leave him, so that his family would bury him in a christian way?"
They carried the corpse, crying. Suddenly, his father appeared from the neighborhood. When his father saw them and the dead body, he nodded his head and said while crying "you would be surprised regarding what I shall tell you".
He said: my son loved listening to the Holy Quran so much, though he was a Christian. He loved listening to the Quran (The Book of the Muslims). I usually entered his room and would find him with an earpiece. I would ask him, what are you listening to?
He would say, I was listening to music. When I listen to the earpiece, I would hear that he was listening to the Quran. I attempted to stop him, but could not succeed. He told me that I couldn't stop him no matter what I would do.
All the people around were looking at each other happily and crying. They said to the bereaved father, your son died believing in Oneness of Allaah. He uttered Laa Ilaaha Illal laah as his last words. The bereaved father said:
"Ashhadu Allaa Ilaaha Illal laah, Wa Ashhadu Anna Muhammadar Rasulul laah ".
The night was for jubilation and not mourning! The people were uttering Laa Ilaaha Illal laah. The corpse was buried in the Muslim cemetery.
🤲🏻O Allaah Kareem, grant us a beautiful end in this life.
This is a true story narrated by Shaiekh at a lecture.
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam) has said the truth:
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " بَادِرُوا بِالأَعْمَالِ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا أَوْ يُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ دِينَهُ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا " .
It is narrated on the authority of Hazrat Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allaah Almighty...Holy Prophet ﷺ observed:
*Be prompt in doing good deeds* (before you are overtaken) by turbulence which would be like a part of the dark night.
During (that stormy period) a man would be a Muslim in the morning and an unbeliever in the evening or he would be a believer in the evening and an unbeliever in the morning, and would sell his faith for worldly goods...
(Saheeh Muslim, Hadith number: 118)
🌱Moral of the true story please make listening to the Qur'an (with translation) your daily habit for infinite Blessings!
