He passed away

Sayyiduna Zuraarah Bin Abi Awfee رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was an extremely pious, worshipping and Allah-fearing practicing scholar. After reciting the verses of admonition and torment at the time of reciting the Holy Quran he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would shiver, or rather sometimes he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would become unconscious due to the fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. One day, as he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه recited the following verses in Fajr Salah:

 

فَاِذَا  نُقِرَ  فِی   النَّاقُوۡرِ  ۙ﴿۸﴾    فَذٰ لِکَ   یَوۡمَئِذٍ   یَّوۡ مٌ  عَسِیۡرٌ    ۙ﴿۹﴾

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: So when the Trumpet will be blown. So that day will be a Tough Day. (Part 29, Surah Al-Muddassir, verse 8-9)

 

he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was overcome with the fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ so much that he     رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه fell over, trembling and then passed away.

(Awliya Rijaal-ul-Hadees, pp. 123)

 

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

 

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you noticed! Our pious saints رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی would recite the Holy Quran with extreme humility and self-mortification and would bewail a lot while pondering over its meaning. Therefore, at the time of recitation we should also try to weep when pondering over its meaning. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: Quran was revealed with sorrow, therefore, when you recite it, reveal your sorrow.

(Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsat, vol. 2, pp. 166, Hadees 2902)

 

The way to create the state of sorrow is this that we should remember the warnings (admonitory parables) mentioned in the Holy Quran and admonitions (i.e. the acts for which promise of punishment has been made). We then should pay attention to the negligence for the acts Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has commanded to
