Fruit of patience is sweet

Dear Islamic sisters! Remember! When a person suffers from a disease or trouble, it does not go away by showing impatience, crying and complaining and telling to everyone, but rather she loses the reward which she can easily obtain by having patience. Hence we should not get impatient at all through illness and make our mind that a person never remains in the same condition for ever. If a person falls ill, she also recovers quickly. If she experiences a grief, she also gets many joys after it. After experiencing poverty she also experiences prosperity. However, a Muslim, in every condition, should spend her life with patience and gratitude as per the Will of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Let’s beseech in the blessed Divine court:

وہ بچارے کہ بیمار ہیں جو                       جنّ و جادو سے بیزار ہیں جو

اپنی رحمت سے ان کو شفا کی                    میرے مولٰی تُو خیرات دیدے

وہ کہ آفات میں مبتلا ہیں                          جو گرفتارِ رَنج و بَلا ہیں

فضل سے ان کو صبر و رِضا کی            میرے مولٰی تُو خیرات دیدے

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

What should be done at the time of agonies of death?

Dear Islamic sisters! Sometimes we have to go to inquire after the patient who is in her last hour and suffering from the agonies of death. It seems as if she would die very soon. At that time, instead of crying we should be patient and make this mind: Whoever has come into this world will also have to leave this world one day. We will have to die like her one day and will have to pass through the next stages after death.

Remember! Every moment of the dying person who is suffering from the agonies of death reminds us of death, but we have forgotten our death and are feeling satisfied and seem to be waiting for the time when we will repent of our sins and start performing virtuous deeds after giving up bad deeds. Even funerals which are being carried every day do not wake us up from our heedlessness.
