Dammaj, the aftermath .... our last moments (1)

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

It was Saturday, 10th Rabi-ul-awwal (11th Jan. 2014), our Yemeni neighbours pounded on our door screaming for my husband.... I could sense the urgency in their voices! In no time the news reached my ear... "We have to leave Dammaj in 4 (F-O-U-R days)!"  We were stunned and dismayed by the news...! Not only did we endure a ruthless, coldblooded war and siege by the Rawâfidh for 93 days (3months) but now we have to leave Dammaj (lock, stock and barrel) at such short notice! It was like our nest which we had so carefully and tirelessly built was disintegrating! I can't put into words what we felt and went through when this news was officially confirmed. The duaa of Umm Salamahرضي الله عنها  was the first thing that came to my mind:

  إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ  

‘To Allaah we belong and unto Him is our return.'

(Al-Baqarah 2:156) 

"O Allaah, reward me for my affliction & replace it for me with something  better."

After three months of bloody war, the Rawâfidh (Houthies) and those cooperating with them, had changed their strategy with regards to Dammaj. They could not enter through the front door, so they entered through the rear. By Allaah we are being oppressed unjustly!! He سُبحانه وتعالى is a witness to their evil plot. 

When will the HELP of Allaah come?? (Part 5)

(حسن الظن بالله)
Having Good Thoughts of Allaah!

Today marks nearly two & a half months into this inhumane terrorism upon us in Dammaj waged by the Râfidah. we are all feeling the effects of this brutal war. May Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى preserve our noble brothers who have answered the call of Jihâd! They are fighting the enemies of Allaah day and night during these cold, winter months, sacrificing their lives to uphold the Deen of Allaah عز وجل and defend the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم.     

Our Lord! Pour forth on them patience, make their feet firm & grant us victory over your enemies (the revilers of the companions of your messenger صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم.  You are the BEST of all Helpers!  

Food and medicines are running out!  Day by day, the death toll and injured are on the rise. Amidst the pain and trauma we are all holding strong with the aid and Rahma of Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى. Alhamdulillaah! It is indeed important during these trying times to have (حسن الظن بالله) i.e. To Have Good Thoughts of Allaah!. Allaah has allowed this to happen. We lesser mortals don't understand the wisdom behind this. We don't have the right to question Allaah (His Qadr), the Lord of the Aalameen.
 

He سُبحانه وتعالى is the MOST Merciful. He is Ar-Rahmaan, Ar-Raheem. If He is nurturing all of creation including the ungrateful Kuffar, then how much Mercy He عز وجل will have toward his believing servants who are ready to spill their blood for the Face of their Lord, Almighty; those who have left their loved ones, wealth & the comfort of their homelands, to seek ilm & implement it? Allaah is 'Aadil' (The Just)! He is NEVER UNJUST!   
Think not BAD of Allaah!!

Read the transcript of the beneficial Khutba "Having good thoughts of Allaah" at the end of the article.

 

Extract from the Khutba:

O Believer, Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى will never make your affairs difficult as long as you have good thoughts about Him, regardless of whether you are in good health or ill, or in poverty or wealth, in your country or elsewhere, or any condition/circumstance that you might be in. Holding onto good thoughts of Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى is from the means of receiving ease from calamities and hardships. As for the one who holds an evil thought about Allaah, then he is destroyed. It is authentically reported on the authority of Jaabir in Saheeh Muslim that the Prophet  صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّمsaid:

لا يموتن أحدكم إلا وهو يحسن الظن بالله عز و جل

“Let none of you die unless he keeps good thoughts (i.e. he has good expectations from Allaah.)”

May Heعز وجل  take all our souls having GOOD THOUGHTS about Him سُبحانه وتعالى, Ameen.
