Ya Allaah, unite us with Papa in Jannah

Ya Allaah, unite us with Papa in Jannah

Oh Allaah, The Almighty - The Most Merciful, The Most Forgiving! You bestowed upon Your obedient slave the Ultimate Healing He had weakened to the core and was really helpless But of Your Grace and Mercy, Ya Rahman, he was never hopeless!

I recall with intense pain his last Golden Conversation I had asked him if he was in a painful situation He replied, "Don't you worry my dearest daughter Only between me and My Maula is this matter"

"Nothing afflicts without His permission and His will "Today, after Fajr, Noor has filled my mind and my heart He alone commands an ailment to heal or to kill This suffering is a blessing for us to become dearer to Him

It is an opportunity He has given us to draw closer to Him" He is soon going to cure me and give me a new start I accept this blessing as a means to be cleansed by My Allaah One of my feet is here and the other is now placed in Jannah"

We prayed that You let him live and cure him of the sickness But You chose to end his life, we bow before Your Greatness Ya Rabb, It is not that You could not reverse his condition You took him away forever in Your Most Pleased situation

The final moments of his life were so blessed by You In Your remembrance he was immersed by You In Your own way you answered our Duas of Healing Swiftly took away his soul without any suffering

When I look back at his life I can only see To obey your commands he was always ready The only thing that scared him was Your anger He lived seeking Your forgiveness and Your Pleasure

He lived a life of gratitude and simplicity He wore a crown of truthfulness and honesty He was so careful to keep halal all his earnings That he avoided even a cup of tea in client meetings

From the little he had he always gave to the needy His other hand never knew when one gave in charity He shared his knowledge and skills with those who couldn't afford He tirelessly trained them gradually to build their own world

He took care of all his relations in a proper way He proved a responsible caretaker every odd day A protecting father and husband, managed his priorities He proved his selfless love and performed all his duties

dutiful son that he was while his parents were alive Embraced their memories sorrowfully when they didn't survive Even years after they left, he remembered them each day On his final day too he remembered them and he did pray

A man in his sixties, was so deeply loved by his friends They loved to see him, they valued his simple trends They trusted him with their wealth and lives, for they knew him well They sought his advice in matters which to no other they would tell

A man who stood for justice even if it went against himself Or his dearest relatives, even if there was a threat to engulf For he feared Your warning that by injustice You are agitated With whatever one does You are always acquainted (4:135)

When those he trusted with his daughter alleged her with blame For things she had never done, they put his upbringing to shame He said, "If my dearest one has been wronged, I am helpless today But I ask Allaah to give us patience here and be just on The Day"

He faced trial upon trial, his tests never seemed to end But to Your Qadr and Majesty, his head would always bend He praised You in happiness and praised You more in sorrow For he believed that seeing his tears Your love for him would grow

This servant of Yours while you were watching, Ya Baseer Was afflicted with a disaster by your permission, Ya Qadeer! He faced it with such Tawakkul and Taqwa saying "My Maula has let it happen, this cancer is a blessing!"

He underwent the suffering and that painful treatment All the chemotherapy sessions ended in his contentment Even on the most painful days, only Your praises he would say While almost unconscious he only questioned when its time to pray

This servant of Yours, never missed a single prayer dear Allaah When his limbs couldn't move, through his eyes he finished Salah! He prayed all through those months to cure him of the cancer And keep his generations to come safe from this or any other

Ya Allaah, did You not say that the Dua of sick people Is assuredly heard and accepted like that of an angel? You heard his duas when he prayed to cure others when he was sick And to bless hopeless people with fertility, to say "Be" You were so quick!

You heard his Duas and showed everyone a miracle That to beat a deadly blood cancer You are capable Of Your Mercy and Pleasure his recovery was an example The world saw that the journey was not at all simple

When he was so weak after treatment he could hardly walk He fought with everyone to visit Your house to talk To You in Salah, for it made him feel alive and he would say "My life is meaningless if I do not go to Masjid everyday"

He knew medication is a Sunnah, so he did complete the treatment He finally paused the medicines that were slowing his movement He dragged himself to Masjid all five times to only pray He was weak and wanted more strength without delay

He stopped the maintenance medication putting his trust in You You would never let the disease touch ever again, he knew He wanted to fulfill the responsibilities You had put on his shoulder He wanted to protect and train your Amaanah, till he is little older

He exerted in Your Ibaadah with new zeal and strength He trained a 'little worshipper' and taught him what is true wealth He loved my child who never knew a father, as a gift from You Although his responsibilities were completed, he accepted him anew

Oh, how he loved spending on the daughter who was returned! He loved the company of his grandson and never frowned! He would tell, "This little blessing is to me the dearest of you all" He called him his SON, as demonstrated by the Teacher, Greatest of all (PBUH)

On a regular doctor's checkup after he started feeling weak again The test reports brought to us, with Your will, the greatest pain For a moment we felt lifeless, it made our world collapse They said it was imminent someday, they called it a RELAPSE!

I know this time he was hurt beyond words, beyond imagination He locked himself in his room for Your private consultation He came out as strong as he could in that weakest moment And said, "My Rabb loves to test, He has a cure for each ailment"

He clinged more strongly to Your Rope, Ya Allaah! He knew that there was a Healing, if You willed, in Ruqyah He was all hopeful that a dawn is closer to cure him But You planned a lung infection, for You wanted a purer him

In a febrile state of breathlessness when I rushed him in an ambulance I fell down in the running vehicle after losing my balance It was my Papa, Ya Allaah, who couldn't breathe, was in pain Gave his hand to lift me up, A TRUE PROTECTOR - he proved again!

Those four days in hospital, I recall they changed my life I begged the doctors to understand and treat our grief They showed all respect for his values, but said they were helpless Treating a lung infection in this relapse, as per them, was pointless!

They said, "Be courageous, his immunity is reaching zero Either to a painful cancer or terrible breathlessness we will lose our hero We learnt from him a lot, this patient proved our teacher His end will be painful, although he is a brave fighter!"

We believed in the power of Duas, Ya Qareeb We knew that You could change the Qadar, Ya Mujeeb! Through Your wisdom, Ya Salaam, You chose to put him to rest You ended his life gracefully with a simple cardiac arrest!

He had only begged from You an extension of few years But perhaps You wanted to take him back, he was always yours He did hold my hand and reminded me that You are Ar-Razzaq He told me that You would guide me always when it is dark

I am so lonely today Ya Rabb, but I know that You are there My upbringing would fail if for tomorrow I do not prepare But the pain in my heart is too much to let me live Ya Allaah, I need patience in abundance, please give

While he is with You, Ya Rahman, I know he is safe You are taking care of him for here he lived for Your sake Brighten his grave so much that he sees nothing but Your Noor Open a window for him that shows him through the Jannah Door

He was a sincere and humble slave of Yours Ya Allaah His constant heartbeat was "La ilaaha illallaah" He lived for Your nearness, He was so fond of Salah You blessed him with such Taqwa, do gift him Your Jannah

For every bit of suffering he underwent in Your name For his unshakable faith which he never put to shame For in pain and sorrow when he gave You thanks, Ya Allaah Be pleased with him always and raise his ranks in Jannah!

Forgive my Papa, Ya Allaah, for any wrong he might have done When you wake him up from the earth again, make him pure and forgiven Unite me and my family with my Papa in the best of places, Ya Allaah! In the most beautiful of houses for Him, near You in Your Jannah!

(Ameen)
