DEATH IN SUJOOD ON HER WEDDING NIGHT

A true story told by Shaykh ‘Abdul Mohsen al Ahmad’, it happened in Abha (the capital of Asir province in Saudi Arabia)

“After performing Salat Al Maghrib, she put her make-up, wore her beautiful white dress preparing herself for her wedding party, Then she heard the Adhan of ‘Ishaa and she realized that she broke her Wudhu she told her mother: “mother, I have to go to make Wudhu and pray ‘Ishaa.”

Her mother was shocked: “Are you crazy?!! Guests are waiting for you, to see you! What about your make-up? It will be all washed away by water!!” then she added: “I am your mother and I order you not to perform Salaah now! wallahi if you make Wudhu now, I will be angry at you.”

Her daughter replied: “Wallahi I won’t go out from here till I perform my Salaah! Mother you must know that “There is no obedience to any creature in disobedience to the Creator.”!! Her mother said: “What would our guests say about you when you’ll show up in your wedding party without make-up?! You won’t be beautiful in their eyes! And they will make fun of you!”

The daughter asked with a smile: “Are you worried because I won’t be beautiful in the eyes of creations? What about my Creator?! I am worried because, if I miss my Salaah, I won’t be beautiful in His eyes.”

She started to make Wudhu, and all her make-up was washed away, but she didn’t care. Then she began her Salaah and at the moment she bowed down to make Sujud, she didn’t realize that it will be her last one! Yes! She died while in Sujud! What a great ending for a Muslimah who insisted on obeying her Lord! Many people who heard her story were so touched!!

She put Him and His obedience first in her priorities, so He granted her the best ending that any Muslim would have! She wanted to be closer to Him, so He took her soul in the place where Muslim are the closest to Him! Subhana Allah! She didn’t care if she would be beautiful in the eyes of creatures so she was beautiful in the eyes of Her Creator!

O Muslim sister, imagine if you are in her place! What will you do? What will you choose: pleasing creations or your Creator? O dear sister! Do you guarantee that you will live for the next minutes? Hours? Months?!! No one knows when their hour will come? Or when will they meet angels of death? So are you ready for that moment? O non hijab sister! What do you choose: Pleasing yourself by not wearing Hijab or pleasing your Lord by wearing hijab?

Are you ready to meet Him without Hijab? And what about you, sister who are “in relationship” or open relationship”, are you ready to meet your Lord today? Tomorrow? What do you choose pleasures of this Dunya or pleasures of Aakhirah?!

May Allah guide us all to what pleases Him and grant everyone who is reading these lines good ending, Ameen.

At the company water cooler, I bragged about my children's world travels: one son was teaching in Bolivia, another was working in southern Italy, and my daughter was completing a yearlong research project in India.

One co-worker's quip, however, stopped me short. "What is it about you," he asked, "that makes your kids want to get so far away?"
