Generosity eases agony of death

Allamah Mu'tamir Muhaddis رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated that I visited Ahmad Bin ‘Abdul Malik رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه at his time of death and started invoking, ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bless him ease in his agony of death; he is such a such great person etc.,’ As I uttered some words of praise for him. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said restlessly, ‘Who is this’, I introduced myself then he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه replied that Malak-ul-Maut عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام is saying to me, ‘I treat with ease with every generous person’, saying that Ahmad Bin ‘Abdul Malik رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه passed away.

Ease in agony of death

A Jama’at of scholars has conveyed that usage of Miswak (twig) eases the agony of death. Sayyidatuna ‘Aishah رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا has reported, ‘The Greatest and Holiest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم did Miswak at the time of his death.’ (Sharh-us-Sudoor, pp. 91)

Murshid help at the time of death

Imam-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, Imam Ahmad Raza Khan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن has stated in Fatawa Razawiyyah, ‘Mashaik-e-Kiram help their disciples in the world, at the time of their death, in grave, in Hereafter, in every state and situation; Fuqaha and Sufis all would do intercession of their followers and they also observe their followers and disciples at the time of death, at the time of questions of Munkar and Nakeer in the grave, on the Day of Resurrection & accountability, at the scale of justice where deeds are weighed and at the time of crossing Pul-e-Sirat and these Mashaik-e-Kiram never get oblivious on any stage, further said, ‘Who would be more foolish and enemy of his ownself than that helpless one who does not become the disciple of a perfect Murshid to seek help from him at the time of trouble.’ (Fatawa Razawiyyah, pp. 464, 465)

Dear Islamic brothers! Take Bay’at (allegiance) at the hand of any pious spiritual person; with the blessing of him, you will be at ease on every stage.

Having the sight of spiritual guide at the time of death

Muballigh (preacher) of Dawat-e-Islami, Iftikhar Ahmad Attari, belonging to Tando Jam (Sindh), was a very modern person before joining Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. Fortunately, he came under the fold of Madani environment and became a Sunnah practicing Muballigh with the blessing of the training           of Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه. He began to call the people towards righteousness with         great excitement and fervour. One day, after Salat-ul-‘Isha, he suffered a heart attack and pain kept increasing, he was rushed to doctor, received some temporary relief then he began to recite Kalimah Tayyibah ‘لَاۤ اِلٰہَ  اِلَّا اللّٰہُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُوْلُ اللّٰہ’ with a loud voice. His son asked the reason of reciting Kalimah so loudly; he replied that look at your front Shaykh-e-Tareeqat Maulana Ilyas دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه is giving me ‘Talqeen’, saying that he started reciting loudly and his soul departed during his recitation. His beloved son related that his father had also filled out Madani In’amat card practicing Fikr-e-Madinah before his death.

May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ and forgive us for his sake.
