Umm-ul-Mu’mineen, Sayyidatuna ‘Aishah Siddiqah رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا has narrated: When Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ wills good for a person, then one year prior to his death, He عَزَّوَجَلَّ designates an angel to him who keeps taking him towards the right path until he dies with belief. Upon his death, people say that so-and-so died in a good state. When such a fortunate and pious person starts to die, his soul departs quickly. At that time, he wants to meet Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ likes to meet him. When Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ wills bad for a person, then one year prior to his death, a Satan is appointed upon him, who deviates him until he reaches the worst time of his life and then dies. As death approaches him, his soul begins to get stuck. At that time neither does the dying person want to meet Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, nor does Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.’ (Musnad Ibn-e-Rahawayh, vol. 3, pp. 503)

ہر دم اِبلیس پیچھے لگا ہے

حفظِ ایمان کی اِلتجا ہے

ہو کرم امنِ روزِ جزا کی

میرے مولٰی تُو خیرات دیدے

روح عطؔار کی جب جدا ہو

سامنے جلوۂ مصطفٰے ہو

ان کے قدموں میں اس کو قضا کی

میرے مولٰی تُو خیرات دیدے

Madani parable: Warts on hand

The following is a report from one of the Islamic brothers from Tando Adam (Sindh, Pakistan). He has said, ‘I was very worried for about two years due to warts on my arm. I spent a lot of money on medication and even had an operation performed, but no medicine proved to be effective. Instead, the warts increased in number. I feared that these warts would turn into cancer and my arm would be amputated on that account. May Almighty Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ keep Dawat-e-Islami’s provincial Majlis of Baluchistan happy! They held an Ijtima’ at provincial level in Quetta for two days (27^th and 28^th of Jumadal Aula 1425 A.H.).
