Supplication of Shaykh Muqbil’s Mother

In her biographical account of her father, Umm ‘Abdillaah Al-Waadi’iyyah said:

“His father died while he was young and he didn’t know him. So he grew up as an orphan and under the care of his mother for a period of time. She would ask him to work to make money and order him to look at the state of his community so that he could be like them. But he would turn away from this and say: ‘I will go out to study.’ So she would say: ‘May Allaah guide you.’ (hadaakAllaah). She would supplicate for him to be guided, as several women who were around at that time informed me. Perhaps her supplication coincided with the time when supplications are accepted since he became one of the guided, guiding others.”

Dammaj, the aftermath .... our last moments (2)

Dammaj... a valley of Ahlus Sunnah... which was once our home, housing Dar-ul-Hadeeth --- our center of learning

"Verily, with the hardship, there is relief ..."

Well the clock had already started ticking and we have only hours to leave our home. Where do we start?? What do we pack? What can we take? How much can we take?

The following hadeeth was a great consolation to me. How strange indeed is the affair of the believer!! It is a Win-Win situation only for the believer in all circumstances:

On the authority of Abi Yahyaa bin Suhaib Sinaan رضي اللّه عنـه  who said that the Prophet Muhammad صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم  said: “How strange is the affair of the believer! For indeed, in all of his affairs there is well being . And this is not the case with anyone else except for the believer. For if any good befalls him, he thanks (Allaah), and as a result it is better for him, and if a calamity befalls, he endures it patiently, and as a result it is better for him.”
