Book Name:Maut kay Qasid

Mufti Jalaluddin Amjadi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: An illness apparently causes some trouble or pain but in fact it is a great blessing and provides Muslims with a great deal of eternal relief and comfort. This visible illness is an effective treatment for spiritual diseases if one is a Muslim who observes patience in the face of even the most painful diseases. If he cries and complains then he will have no meaningful advantage, plus he will remain deprived of the rewards. Some unwise people utter some extremely inappropriate words during their illness and some even speak ill of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and utter sheer disbelief which is a great misfortune that brings about their destruction in the world and the Hereafter. وَالْعِیَاذُ بِاللّٰہِ تَعَالٰی (Anwaar-ul-Hadees, pp. 197)

Remember! One may attain the virtues of an illness when he displays great patience instead of complaining. Sayyiduna ‘Ata Bin Yasaar رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ narrated: When someone suffers from any illness, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ sends two blessed angels towards him and says to them, ‘Look! What does he say to the people coming to see him?’ If that ill person glorifies Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in the presence of those people, then the blessed angels humbly present this thing in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, though Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ Himself knows more than them. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ says, ‘My bondsman has a right on Me that I make him enter into Jannah and grant him cure and replace his flesh with good flesh and forgive his sins. (Muwatta Imam Maalik, vol. 2, pp. 429 Hadees 1797)

O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Grant us the privilege to have patience, to remember our death and make preparation for it as much as we can in the face of each disease and trouble.

اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Name inscribed on the door of Hell

Dear Islamic brothers! Making no preparation for the Hereafter and committing sins fearlessly are the causes of destruction and the displeasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
