all about your islam

Praise be to Allah, Lord of All the Worlds. And may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and Companions.

It’s enough to know that our beloved prophet (PBUH) has said:  «if a man dies: all of his work is terminated except three things: current sadaka (money paid for a good deed), science that is useful to people and a good son to pray for him»  [Reported by Al-Nisa'ey & Classified as Sahheh By Al-Albany].

So please son, when my soul is struggling to exit my body, and my head is on your arms and chest, please don’t panic, there’s a very hard mission you have to accomplish, so don’t be confused by what you see, and don’t worry if you see me suffer and remember that if my last moments seems so painful, it was painful to the best man god ever created (our prophet).
