had a very high level of intellect and wisdom. He would perceive future events before the time. He had great expertise in recognizing truth and lies. Examples of his bravery, humbleness and simplicity, courage and heroism, morale and steadfastness, honesty and sincerity, intelligence, wisdom and tolerance are still found in the history books. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ also had human desires, but his glory and greatness was such that neither did he ever commit any bad act out of the intensity of hunger, nor satisfied his desires of Nafs, nor ever he crossed moderation out of anger and nor he remained heedless of the remembrance of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in joy. He adopted all of his habits as per Sunnah. In short, in conversation and character he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was the real practising Muslim.

Finally, one of the wicked disbelievers named Abu Lulu Feeroz (a fire worshipper) attacked Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ with a dagger during Salat-ul-Fajr. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ succumbed to the fatal injury and embraced martyrdom on the third day of the attack. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was 63 at the time of martyrdom. Sayyiduna Suhayb رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ led his funeral Salah. On Sunday, the 1^st of Muharram-ul-Haraam, 24 Hijri, this great companion of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was laid to rest beside Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ who has been resting beside the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

Farooq-e-A’zam’s fear of Allah

Dear Islamic brothers! In addition to countless attributes, Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ had fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and adopted piety and abstinent. His admonitory conversation used to be full of the fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. At times, he was so much overcome with fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ that due to the fear of the accountability of the grave and the Judgement Day he would desire: I wish I
