خطبة الجمعة: وَفَاةُ الّنبيِّ الأَعْظَمِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَليهِ وسَلَّمَ

The Death of the Greatest Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam


  الخطبة الأولى: إِنَّ الحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَغفِرُهُ وَنَسْتَهْدِيْهِ وَنَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا وَمِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا، مَنْ يَهْدِ اللهُ فَلاَ مُضِلَّ لَهُ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلاَ هَادِيَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلهَ إِلا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسْولُهُ، صَلَواتُ اللهِ وَسَلامُهُ عَليْهِ وَعَلَى كُلِ رَسْولٍ أَرْسَلَهُ.

All praise is due to Allah, we praise Him, seek His forgiveness and guidance and we seek refuge with Allah from our own evil and ill doings. The one Whom Allah guides no one shall be able to misguide him and the one whom Allah makes misguided no one shall be able to guide him. I testify that no one is God except Allah, and that Muhammad is the slave and Messenger of Allah, may Allah raise his rank and protect his nation from what he fears for them, and the rank of every Messenger He had sent.



أما بعد فيا عباد الله...أوصيكم ونفسي بتقوى اللهِ فإنها ما جاورت قلب امرئٍ إلا وصل.
Thereafter, O slaves of Allah I order you and myself with piety and Godfearingness, for if they reside in the heart of one, he will inevitably be triumphant in the Hereafter. Allah the Exalted said in Surah Al-^Imran, 144:

يقول الله تعالى: (وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلاَّ رَسُولٌ قَد خَلَت مِن قَبلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَفَإِيْن مَّاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَى أَعقابِكُمْ وَمَن يَنقَلِب عَلَى عَقِبيهِ فَلَن يَضُرُّ اللهَ شَيئًا وَسَيجزِي اللهُ الشَّاكِرينَ) ءال عمران / 144.
This verse means: Muhammad is but a Messenger and Messengers before him had passed away; now if he dies or gets killed are you going to turn away? The one who turns away shall not harm Allah in any way and Allah shall reward those who are thankful.

أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، بَعدَ أَن حدثناكم حديثًا طيبًا عطرًا عن خُلُقِهِ وأَوصافِهِ الخِلقيَّة وَعن ولادتِهِ صلى اللهُ عليه وسلم حريٌ بِنا أن نتكلم عن وفاتِهِ صَلّى الله عليه وسلم، عن وفاةِ سيدِ الأمة وإمامِ الأئمة من أرسلهُ اللهُ هُدًى وَرَحمةً. فهذا يذكرنا بأنَّ الدنيا دارُ مَمَرٍّ والآخرةُ دارُ مقرٍّ وبأنَ الموتَ حقٌ قد كتَبَهُ اللهُ على العِبادِ، فلقد نُعِيَتْ إلى النبيِّ نفسهُ ونُعيت إلى الناسِ نفوسهم، يقول ربنا تبارك وتعالى مخاطبًا حبيبه محمدًا: (إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وإِنَّهُم مَّيِتُونَ) الزمر / 30. 

Praise be to Allah and may Allah raise the rank of our Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, his kind Al, and Companions and to protect his nation from which he fears for it.

Dear Muslims, after stating the traits and manners of the Prophet, and the story of his breast-feeding, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, it is suitable to talk about his death, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam; the death of the Master of the nation, whom Allah sent as a guidance and mercy to people. This reminds us that this world is a mere passage, and that the hereafter is the everlasting residence, it reminds us also that death is true. Allah willed it upon all the slaves, this is witnessed in the Qur'an in which Allah mentioned to His Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, that he will die as all other humans will.

  (إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وإِنَّهُم مَّيِتُونَ)

اِبتدأَ برسولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم صُداعٌ في بيتِ عَائشةََ،قالت: "دخل عليَّ رسولُ اللهِ في اليومِ الذي بُدِئَ فيهِ فقلت: وَارَأسَاه؟ قَالَ: بَلْ أَنا وَارَأسَاهُ".

رَسولُ اللهِ يقولُ وَارأسَاهُ، حَبيبُ اللهِ يَقولُ وارأسَاهُ. قالت عَائشةُ: "ثَقُل رسولُ اللهِ صلى اللهُ عليهِ وسلم، فقال: أصَلَّى الناسُ ؟ فقُلتُ: لاَ، هُم ينتظرونَكَ يَا رسولَ اللهِ. فقالَ: ضَعوا لي مَاءّ في المِخْضَبِ فَفعلنا، فاغتسَلَ ثم ذَهَبَ لِيَنْهَضَ فأُغميَ عَليهِ ثمَ أَفاقَ فقالَ: أصَلَّى الناسُ ؟ فقُلنا: لاَ، هُم ينتظرونَكَ يَا رسولَ اللهِ، قَالَت: وَالنَّاسُ عُكُوفٌ في المسجِدِ يَنتظرونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ لِصَلاةِ العِشَاءِ، فَأرسَلَ رَسولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّم إلى أبي بَكرٍ يُصَلِّي بالنَّاسِ وَكَانَ أبو بكرِ رَجُلاً رَقيقًا فَقَالَ: يَا عُمَرُ صَلِّ بالناسِ، فقالَ: أَنتَ أَحقُّ بِذَلكَ".
فَصلَّى بِهِم رَضيَ اللهُ عَنهُ تلكَ الأيامَ، ثم خَفَّ المَرضُ عَنهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسَلَّمَ فَخَرَجَ بينَ رجُلَيْنِ لِصلاةِ الظُهرِ فرأهُ صاحِبُهُ أبو بكر فَأرادَ ان يَرجِع عنِ الإمامةِ بوجودِ رسولِ اللهِ صَلى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّمِ فَأَوْمَأَ إليهِ أَن لا تتأخَّر، وأَمَرَهُمَا فَأُجلساهُ إلى جَنْبِهِ، فَجعلَ أبو بَكرٍ يُصَلِّي قائمًا ورَسولُ اللهِ صلَّىَ وسلَّم مِن شِدةِ مَرَضِهِ يُصَلِّي قَاعِدًا.

The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, got a headache at ^A'ishah's house. She said: As the Messenger of Allah entered into my house on the day when his sickness started I said: "O my head?" He said: "Indeed I am the one who should say, O my head." He got really sick and said: "Did the people pray?" I said: "No, they are waiting for you O Messenger of Allah." He then ordered us to put water in the pot for him to take a bath, so we did. Then he headed to the prayer, but he lost consciousness. When he woke up he said: "Did the people pray?" I said: "No, they are waiting for you O Messenger of Allah." He then sent after Abu Bakr asking him to lead the prayer. Abu Bakr was a soft person, so he said to ^Umar: "O ^Umar, lead the people in the prayer." He answered him: "You are more deserving than me."

Abu Bakr may Allah raise his rank led the Prayer during those days, as the Prophet's illness lessened, he went out for the Noon (Dhuhr) Prayer between two men. When Abu Bakr saw the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, he wanted to step back from leading the Prayer; however, the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, pointed to him not to do that. He then ordered the two men to seat him beside Abu Bakr, so the way they prayed was that Abu Bakr was standing during his Prayer while the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, was sitting.

ثُمَ ثَقُلَ رَسولُ اللهِ وَجَعَلَ يتغشَاهُ الكَربُ. فَاطمةُ رَضيَ اللهُ عنهَا تَقولُ: "وَاكربَاهُ لِكَربِكَ يا أَبَتَاهُ". فأجابها صلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلمَ: "لَيْسَِ على أَبيكِ كَرْبٌ بَعْدَ اليَوْمِ".

فَلمَّا ماتَ رسولُ اللهِ، فَلمَّا ماتَ حبيبُ اللهِ وَبَلغَ الخبرُ صَاحِبِهِ ورفيقِهِ أبي بَكرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ أقبَلَ ولم يَلتفِت إِلى شَئٍ حتى دَخَلَ على رَسولِ اللهِ.
أقبلَ الصِّديقُ الصَّاحِبُ الحبيبُ حتى كَشَفَ عن وَجهِ رسولِ اللهِ، حتى كَشَفَ عن وَجهِ أجملِ مخلوقات الله، حتى كَشَفَ عن وجه أحبِ الخلقِ إلى الله، حتى كَشَفَ عن وجهِ أفضَلِ خلقِ الله، فقبلهُ بينَ عيتيهِ وقال: "بأبي أنتَ وأُمي طِبتَ حَيًّا وميِّتًا" ثُمَّ رَدَّ البُردَ على رَسولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ.

Later the Prophet became gravely ill, his daughter Fatimah may Allah raise her rank would say: "O father, I am so stressed for your stress." The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, answered her: "Your father will be stressed no more after today."

When the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, passed away, the news reached his Companion Abu Bakr as-Siddiq; he came without looking at anything until he entered the house.
Dear Muslims, look at this situation when Abu Bakr
as-Siddiq entered the house to see his beloved lying down and covered with a dress known as "burd", he said: "I sacrifice my father and mother for you O Messenger of Allah, I sacrifice myself for you; O you the beloved to Allah." He came and uncovered the face of the Messenger of Allah and kissed him between the eyes, he then put the "burd" back on the face of the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam.

أمَّا عُمَرُ فقالَ: "إِنَّ رِجالاً يَزعُمُونَ أنَّ رَسولَ الله ِصَلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّم قَد تُوفِّيَ وَإِنَّ رَسولَ الله ِصَلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّم مَا مَات".

فَخَرجَ أبو بَكرٍ رَضيَ اللهُ عَنهُ فَقَالَ: "عَلى رِسلِكَ يا عُمَرُ، أَنْصِتْ" فأَبَى إِلاَّ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ. عندها أقبل أبو بّكرٍ على النَّاسِ فَحَمَدَ اللهَ وأثنَى عليهِ ثمَّ قَالَ: "أَيُّها الناسُ إِنَّهُ مَنْ كَانَ يَعبُدُ محمَّدًا فَإنَّ محمَّدًا قَد مَاتَ، ومَنْ كَانَ يَعبُدُ اللهَ فَإنَّ اللهُ حيٌّ لاَ يموتُ". ثم تَلاَ قَولَ اللهِ تعالى:

(وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلاَّ رَسُولٌ قَد خَلَت مِن قَبلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَفَإِيْن مَّاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَى أَعقابِكُمْ وَمَن يَنقَلِب عَلَى عَقِبيهِ فَلَن يَضُرُّ اللهَ شَيئًا وَسَيجزِي اللهُ الشَّاكِرينَ).

قال عُمَرُ رضيَ اللهُ عنهُ: "واللهِ مَا هُوَ إِلاَّ سَمِعتُ أَبا بَكرٍ تَلاَهَا حَتَى وَقَعْتُ إلى الأرضِ ما تَحْمِلُني رِجلايَ وَعَرِفتُ أَنَّ رَسول اللهِ صلى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ قد مَاتَ".

أَمَّا فاطِمَةُ رَضيَ اللهُ عنهَا قَالت: "يَا أَبتَاهُ أَجَابَ رَبًّا دَعَاهُ، يَا أََبَتَاهُ جَنَّةُ الفِرْدَوْسِ مَأْوَاهُ، يَا أَبَتَاهُ إِلى جِبْرِيلَ أَنْعَاهُ".

As for ^Umar, he said: "Some people are claiming that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, has died, I would say that he did not die." Abu Bakr may Allah raise his rank came out and said: "O ^Umar, calm down, listen." He refused to stop talking, and then Abu Bakr addressed the people; praised and thanked Allah and said: "O people, he who used to worship Muhammad, then let him know that Muhammad is dead. And he, who worships Allah, then let him know that Allah is Alive and does not die." He then recited verse 144 from Surat Al-^Imran:

(وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلاَّ رَسُولٌ قَد خَلَت مِن قَبلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَفَإِيْن مَّاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَى أَعقابِكُمْ وَمَن يَنقَلِب عَلَى عَقِبيهِ فَلَن يَضُرُّ اللهَ شَيئًا وَسَيجزِي اللهُ الشَّاكِرينَ)

^Umar may Allah raise his rank said: "I swear by Allah that when I heard Abu Bakr reciting it, my feet could not hold me anymore until I fell to the ground, and I knew that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, has died."

Fatimah may Allah raise her rank said: "O my father, his Lord answered his supplication, O my father his residence is in the upper Paradise, O my father I extend my condolences to Jibril."

وَأَجمَعَ القَوْمُ لَِغسلِ رَسولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ فأَسنَدَهُ عَلِيٌّ إلى صَدْرِهِ وقالَ: "بِأَبي وأُمِي مَا أطيبَكَ حَيَّا ومَيتًا"،أَسْنَدَهُ إِلى صَدْرِهِ وعليِهِ قَميصَهُ والعَبَّاسُ والفََضْلُ يُقَبِلونََهُ مَعَ عَليٍّ، وَأُسَامَهُ وَصَالحٌ يَصُبَّانِ الماءَ، وَجَعَلَ عَليٌّ يُغَسِلُهُ وَلَم يُرَ مِنْ رَسولِ اللهِ شيئًا مما ير مِنَ الميِتِ. ولم يدروا أينَ يُدفَنُ النبيُّ صَلَّىَ اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ، حتَّى قالَ أبو بكرٍ رَضيَ اللهُ عنهُ: َسمعتُ رَسولَ اللهِ صلى اللهُ عليه وسلَّمَ يقولُ: "لَم يُقْبَرُ نَبيٌ إلا حَيثُ يَموُتُ".

وَكُفِنَ بِثلاثةِ أَثوابٍ بيضٍ وَوُضِعَ على سريرهِ علىَ شَفيرِ القَبْرِ، ثم دَخَلَ النَّاسُ أَرسالاً يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيهِ فَوجًا فَوجًا لاَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ أَحَدٌ، ثم دُفِنَ صَلَّىَ اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ وَنَزَلَ في حُفرتِهِ العَبَّاسُ وَعَلِيٌّ والفَضْلُ وَقَثَمُ وَشُقْرَانُ ودُفِنَ في اللَّحْدِ.

إِخوةَ الإيمانِ، انظُروا وَتَمَعَّنوا وَتَذكَّروا فإنَّ الذِكرَى تنفَعُ المؤمنينَ. فعَلَى مَنْ أُصِيْبَ يَوْمًا بِمُصيبةٍ أَن يَذْكُرَ مَوْتَ النبيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسَلَّمَ، واْعمَلْ لآخِرَتِكَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ مَعَ النبيِّ في الجنَّةِ، وأكثِر من الصَّلاةِ عليهِ فإنَّ الصَّلاةَ عليهِ نورٌ وضياءٌ.

Muslims gathered to wash the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, ^Aliyy leaned him backwards on his chest and said: "I sacrifice my father and mother for you, how great you are dead and alive." While ^Aliyy was doing that, al-^Abbas and al-Fadul were kissing him along with ^Aliyy. Usamah and Salih were pouring water while ^Aliyy was washing him. They did not know where to bury the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, until Abu Bakr may Allah raise his rank said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, saying: "No prophet has ever been buried in other than where he died." They pulled his bed and dug underneath it to bury him.

He was shrouded with three white dresses and was put on his bed beside the top of the grave, and then people came and prayed for him individually without having an imam. Al-^Abbas, al-Fadul, ^Aliyy, Qutham, and Shuqran got down in his grave and they buried him sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam.

Dear Muslims take good heed in that event and memorize it, for memory benefits the believers. If you were to be inflicted with a calamity, then remember the death of the Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam. Remember it and work for the hereafter so that you will be with the Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, and do say a lot the Salatau ^ala an-Nabiyy sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam.
   

صَلَّىَ اللهُ عليهِ صلاةً يَقضِي بِهَا حَاجَتِنَا وَيُفَرِجُ بها كُرُبَاتِنَا ويَكْفِينا بَها شَرَّ أَعْدَائِنا وسَلَّمَ عليهِ وعلى ءالِهِ سَلامًَا كثيرًا. 
 



                                                                 هذا واستغفر الله لي ولكم




   
الخطبة الثانية:  إِنَّ الحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَغفِرُهُ وَنَسْتَهْدِيْهِ وَنَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا وَمِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا، مَنْ يَهْدِ اللهُ فَلاَ مُضِلَّ لَهُ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلاَ هَادِيَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلهَ إِلا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسْولُهُ، صَلَواتُ اللهِ وَسَلامُهُ عَليْهِ وَعَلَى كُلِ رَسْولٍ أَرْسَلَهُ.

All praise is due to Allah, we praise Him, seek His forgiveness and guidance and we seek refuge with Allah from our own evil and ill doings. The one Whom Allah guides no one shall be able to misguide him and the one whom Allah makes misguided no one shall be able to guide him. I testify that no one is God except Allah, and that Muhammad, is the slave and Messenger of Allah, may Allah raise his rank and protect his nation from what he fears for them, and the rank of every Messenger He had sent.


عباد الله أوصيكم ونفسي بتقوى الله وأحذركم من عقابه وأحثكم على طلب رضاه. O slaves of Allah I order you and myself with piety and Godfearingness


يقول الله تعالى في كتابه العزيز:

Allah ta^ala says in His Glorious Qur'an, in surah al-Hajj, 1-2,

   
(يَآ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُواْ رَبَّكُم إِنَّ زَلزَلَةَ السَّاعَةِ شَئٌ عَظِيمٌ، يَومَ تَرَونَهَا تَذهَلُ كُلُّ مُرضِعَةٍ عَمَّآ أَرضَعَت وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَملٍ حَملَهَا، وَتَرَى النَّاسَ سُكَارَى وَمَا هُم بِسُكَارَى ولَكِنَّ عَذَابَ اللهِ شَدِيدٌ) سورة الحج / 1-2.

These verses mean: O people be pious and God fearing, for the rocking of the Day of Judgment is a great event, when you observe it each nursing woman shall be bewildered from what it is nursing ad every pregnant female shall deliver, and you shall see the people drunk like yet they will not be drunk, for the torture of Allah is immense.

عِبَادَ اللهِ أُذكِركُم بأنَ اللهَ تَعَالَى أَمَرَكُم بِأَمرٍ عَظيمْ أَمَرَكُم بِالصَّلاةِ وَالسَلامِ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ المُصّطَفَى الكَريمْ فَقَالَ رَبُنَا وَهُوَ أَصْدَقُ القَائِلين:

O slaves of Allah I remind you that Allah has ordered you with a great matter, He ordered you with saying as-Salah and as-salam for His choicest and most honorable Prophet; Allah said in surah al-Ahzab, 56:



(إِنَّ اللهَ وَمَلآئِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَآ أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءامَنُواْ صَلُّواْ عَلَيهِ وَسَلِّمُواْ تَسْلِيمًا)
سورة الأحزاب / 56.

This verse means: Allah raises the rank of the Prophet and grants him safety from what he fears for his nation, and His Angels say As-salah for the Prophet; O you who believed do say As-salah and As-salam for the prophet many times.


اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى ءَالِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى ءَالِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحمَّدٍ وَعَلَى ءالِ مُحمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى ءَالِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ.

اللَّهُمَّ إنَّا دَعَونَاكَ فاستَجِبْ لَنَا دُعَاءنَا فاغْفِر اللَّهُمَّ لَنَا ذَنَوبَنَا وإسرَافَنَا في أمرِنَا، اللَّهُمَّ اغفِر لِلمؤمنينَ والمؤمِنَات الأحياءَ مِنْهُمْ والأموَاتْ، رَبَنَا ءاتِنَا في الدُنيَا حَسَنَةً وفي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَار، اللَّهُمَّ اجعَلنَا هُدَاةًً مُهتَدين غَيرَ ضَالينَ ولا مُضِّلين، اللَّهُمَّ استُر عَوراتِنا وءامِنْ رَوعَاتِنَا واكفِنا مَا أهَمَنَا وَقِنَا شَرَ مَا نَتَخوَف.
عِبَادَ الله إِنَّ اللهَ يَأمُرُ بِالعَدلِ والإحسَانِ وإِيتَآءِ ذِي القُربَى ويَنهَىَ عَنِ الفَحشَآءِ والمُنكَرِ والبَغِي، يَعِظُكُم لَعَلَّكُم تَذَكَّرُونَ. أُذكُروا اللهَ العَظيمَ يَذكُرُكُم واشكروهُ يزدكُم، واستغفروهُ يَغفِر لَكُم واتقُوهُ يَجعَل لَكُم مِنْ أَمرِكُمْ مَخرَجًا، وأقِم الصَّلاة.

O Allah raise the rank of Prophet Muhammad and increase his prestige and honor and protect his nation from what he fears for them, the same as you bestowed on Ibrahim and the family members of Ibrahim, O Allah you are the Praised and Glorified one.

O Allah we have made a supplication to you so answer our supplication and forgive our sins and forgive that we have done injustice to ourselves. O Allah forgive the sins of the believers, male and female, those who are alive and those who have died. O Allah bestow upon us goodness in this world and in the Hereafter and protect us from Hellfire. O Allah make us guided and among those who guide others and do not make us misguided and do not make us among those who misguide others. O Allah cover our short comings and comfort our fears and make us satisfied toward our burdens and protect us from the evil of what we fear.


O slaves of Allah know that Allah orders you to do justice, benevolence and to be kind to your kin, and forbids you to commit vileness, unlawful matters and injustice, and admonishes you so you may remember. Do remember Allah the Magnificent and Allah will take care of you, do thank Him and He will increase your endowments, do ask Him to forgive you and He will forgive you, and be Godfearing and He will guide you out of your hardships.
