Dear Islamic sisters! The hearts of our pious predecessors رَحْمَۃُ اللّٰہ ِ عَلَیْہِمْ اَجْمَعِیْن are full of yearning for good deeds and contemplation of the Hereafter.

We saw that just a few moments before he passed away, he was offering Salah whilst sat down due to weakness. Both of his feet had become swollen.
