Madani pearls of delivering speech (Bayan)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Severity of death

It is stated on page 553 of a 165-page book named ‘Hikayatayn aur Nasihatayn’ (in Urdu) published            by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami. When Sayyiduna ‘Īsā Ruhullah      عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَـيْهِ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّلَام passed by the grave of the son of Sayyiduna Nuh (عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام), Sayyiduna Sām          رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, the Bani Israel said, ‘O, Ruhullah (عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام) pray in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ that He عَزَّوَجَلَّ bring Sayyiduna Sām رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه back to life, so that, we may hear some facts about his death.’

So, Sayyiduna ‘Īsā Ruhullah عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَـيْهِ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّلَام performed two Rak’at Salah beside his grave and prayed for him to be brought back to life. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ brought him back to life. Sayyiduna Sām رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه stood up removing dust from his head. His beard and hair on his head had turned white. Sayyiduna ‘Īsā Ruhullah     عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَـيْهِ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّلَام inquired, ‘How did your hair turn white whereas it did not so in your time?’ He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه replied, ‘Ya Ruhullah (عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَـيْهِ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّلَام)! When I heard the sound of your voice, I thought that the Day of Resurrection had arrived; my hair turned white in fear of that day.’ Sayyiduna ‘Īsā Ruhullah عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَـيْهِ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّلَام asked, ‘How long have you been here?’ ‘For four thousand years, but I have not been relieved of the bitterness and severity of death’, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه answered. (Hikayatayn aur Nasihatayn, pp. 553)

عَطا کر عافیّت تُو نَزع و قَبر و حَشر میں یا ربّ         وَسیلہ فاطمہ زَہرا کا کر لُطف و کرم مولٰی

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you observed that Sayyiduna Sām رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was the son of a glorious and courageous Hazrat Sayyiduna Nuh عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام and he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was amongst a few people who brought faith in Hazrat Sayyiduna Nuh عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام but his hair turned white with the fear of Hereafter when Sayyiduna ‘Īsā Ruhullah عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَـيْهِ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّلَام commanded him to come out and the severity of death was not relieved even after 4000 years. On the other hand, look at our pathetic condition, our scale is empty of good deeds; we excel in accumulating abundance of sins; no one can compare with us in disobedience to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ passing our days and nights committing sins but, alas, we have no fear of the severities of death.

Remember, that this stage of agony of death is very severe. Wake up from heedlessness for the sake of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and repent of your sins and fear Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ lest you should face the severities of agony of death due to sins. A best source of repenting of your sins, earning virtues and for having determination to good deeds is the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami; associate yourself with this Madani environment. By
