Dought & clear - He forgets to keep the intention in mind when doing most deeds.

I forget to form the intention when doing most deeds. What should I do?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Intention (niyyah) is an important matter, as it isthe spirit of deeds
through which deeds become valid, as the Prophet(peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) said: "Actions are but by intentions and each
person will have but that which he intended." Narrated by al-Bukhaari
(1) and Muslim (1907).
The intention turns permissible deeds into acts or worship, hence we
should pay attention to it and make it for the sake of Allaah, free
from any element of showing off.
It should be noted that intentions are of two types:
1 – Obligatory intention, without which an act of worship is not
valid, such as the intention in doing wudoo', praying, paying zakaah,
fasting and doing Hajj. This intention is something that no one can do
without. If a person doeswudoo' to pray, touch the Mus-haf or in order
to be pure (taahir), he has formed the intention. Intending to pray or
intending to remove impurity is forming the intention when doing
wudoo'.
When a man stands to pray, knowing that this is Zuhr prayer, for
example, and he intends to offer the prayer and gets up to do it it,
then he has formed the intention. It is not essential – and in fact it
is not prescribed – to sayout loud, "I intend to pray Zuhr prayer"
etc, as some people do. This was not narrated from the Prophet(peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and the placefor the intention
is in the heart.
Similarly, if a person decides at night that he will fast on the
followingday, then he has formed the intention of fasting. In fact,
his eating sahoorshows that he is intending to fast.
It is difficult for a personto forget to form the intention in such cases.
2 – The second type of intention is that which ismustahabb in order to
attain reward. This is what some people forget, which is to keep the
intention in mind when doing permissible things, so that they will be
acts of worship, such as eating, drinking and sleeping with the
intention of strengthening oneself todo acts of worship, as the
Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "You
willnever spend anything that you spend for the sake of Allaah, but
you will be rewarded for it, even the morsel of food that you put in
your wife's mouth." Narrated by al-Bukhaari (56).
Mu'aadh (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I sleep and I get up
(to pray at night), and I seekreward for my sleep as I seek reward for
my getting up. Narrated by al-Bukhaari (4088).
He (may Allaah be pleased with him) sought reward for his sleep just
as he sought reward for his getting up to pray at night, because he
intended by sleeping to gain strength to do acts of worship.
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar said inal-Fath: What this means is that he sought
reward by resting just ashe sought reward by striving, because if the
intention in resting is to enable one to do acts of worship, one
attains reward. End quote.
What helps to keep this intention in mind is deliberating, thinking
and not being hasty. So you should think about what you are intending
to do, take stock of yourself before acting, think about whether it
ishalaal or haraam, then look at your intention: what do you want from
this? Every time you takestock of yourself and think before acting,
this will remind you about forming the intention, until it becomes
second nature and a habit that you adopt, so that you will not enter
or exit, eator drink, give or withhold, without having an intention in
doing so, thus most of your time will become times of worship.
We ask Allaah to help us and you to do that.
And Allaah knows best.

Dought & clear - Conditions for deeds to be acceptable to Allaah.

When a Muslim does an action, what conditions make it acceptable and
therefore rewarded by Allah. Is it simply that you intended to follow
the Qur'an and Sunnah, and therefore you will be rewarded even though
you may have been wrong in your action. Or is it that you must have
the intention,but you also need to follow the correct Sunnah as well.
Praise be to Allaah.
For acts of worship to beacceptable to Allaah and for a person to be
rewarded for them, there are two conditionswhich must be met:
The first condition: it should be devoted to Allaah Alone. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
"And they were commanded not, but that they should worshipAllaah, and
worship none but Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to
Him)"
[al-Bayyinah 98:5]
The meaning of worshipping Allaah alone is that the person should
intend in all his words and deeds, both inward and outward, to seek
the Face of Allaah (i.e., His pleasure). Allaahsays (interpretation of
the meaning):
"And who has (in mind) no favour from anyone to be paid back,
Except to seek the Countenance of his Lord,the Most High"
[al-Layl 92:19]
"(Saying): "We feed you seeking Allaah's Countenance only. We wish for
no reward, nor thanks from you"
[al-Insaan 76:9]
"Whosoever desires (by his deeds) the reward of the Hereafter, We give
him increase in his reward, and whosoever desires the reward of this
world (by his deeds),We give him thereof (what is decreed for him),
and he has no portion in the Hereafter"
[al-Shoora 42:20]
"Whosoever desires the life of the world and its glitter, to them We
shall pay in full (the wages of)their deeds therein, and they will
have no diminution therein.
They are those for whomthere is nothing in the Hereafter but Fire, and
vain are the deeds they did therein. And of no effect is that which
they used to do"
[Hood 11:15-16]
It was narrated that 'Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with
him) said: "I heard the Messenger of Allaah(peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) say:
'The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will
get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated
for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for
what he emigrated for.'"
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari,Bad' al-Wahy, 1).
It was narrated by Muslim from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of
Allaah(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Allaah, may
He be blessed and exalted, says: 'I am so self-sufficient that I am in
no need of having an associate. Thus he who does an action for someone
else's sake as well as Mine will have that action renounced by Me to
him whom he associated with Me.'" (Narrated by Muslim,al-Zuhd
wa'l-Raqaa'iq, 5300)
The second condition is that the action should bein accordance with
the only way which Allaah has prescribed for worship, which is by
following the Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in
the laws that he has brought. It was narratedthat the Prophet(peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever does any action
that is not in accordance with this matter of ours (i.e., Islam), will
have it rejected." (Narrated by Muslim,al-Aqdiyyah, 3243).
Ibn Rajab (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:"This hadeeth forms one
of the most important principles of Islam. It is like a scale for
weighing up deeds according to their outward appearance, just as the
hadeeth 'The reward of deeds depends upon theintentions' is the means
of weighing up the inner nature of deeds. Just as every action which
is not intended for the sake of Allaah brings no reward to the one who
does it, so too every deed which is not in accordance with the command
of Allaah and His Messenger will also be rejected and thrown back at
the one who does it. Everyone who innovates in Islam something for
which Allaah and His Messengerhave not granted permission, that thing
is nothing to do with Islam.
(Jaami' al-'Uloom wa'l-Hukam, part 1, p. 176)
The Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) enjoined
following his Sunnah and teachings, and made them binding. He(peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "You have to followmy
Sunnah (way) and the way of my rightly-guided successors (al-khulafa'
al-raashidoon); bite ontoit with your eyeteeth (i.e., cling firmly to
it)." And he warned against bid'ah (innovation), as he said: "Beware
of newly-invented matters, for every newly-invented matter is a going
astray." (narrated by al-Tirmidhi,al-'Ilm, 2600; classed as saheeh by
al-Albaani inSaheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi, no. 2157)
Ibn al-Qayyim said: "Allaah has made devotion of worship to Him alone
and followingthe Sunnah the means ofdeeds being accepted; if these
conditions are not met, then deeds are unaccaptable."
(al-Rooh, 1/135)
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Who has created death and life that He may test you which of you is
best in deed"
[al-Mulk 67:2]
al-Fudayl said: "'best in deed' means, most devoted to Allaah alone
and most in accordance with the Sunnah.
And Allaah is the Source of strength.

Holy Book of Islam: Holy Quran, the Eternal Miracleand Complete Way of Life

Imam Reza (as) has said:"Wisdom is man's friend, and ignorance is his enemy."
Ibn Sikkit, a great literaryscholar of his era, once asked Imam Reza
(as):"Why did Allah (SWT) appoint different miracles to each prophet?
He sent Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh)withmiracles of the cane and the
halo hand, Prophet Isa/Jesus (pbuh)with the power to heal and Holy
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP) with the miracle of eloquence?"
Imam Reza (as) replied:"When Allah (SWT) appointed Musa / Moses as a
prophet, it was in anera when magic and supernatural acts were more
common among people than science. Musa / Moses therefore, brought an
act that people had never seen before and could not understand it
through their rational. With this miracle, he was able to refute the
works of the magicians and give them clear proof.
At the time of Isa/Jesus, on the other hand, diseases without cure had
spread throughout. Science and medication was highly in demand.
Isa/Jesus therefore came to them with the miracle of healing all
diseases, a power not known to them, for he could give life to the
dead, and heal genetic blindness and leprosy. And through his
miracles, he fulfilled his proof upon the people ofhis time.
However, Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP) was appointed at a time when
poetry and eloquence in language was very popular among the
communities. With the revelation of Holy Quran and its teachings,
Allah (SWT) refuted their reasoning."
The miracles of the previous prophets were suitable for the era in
which they lived. We do not have access to most of them. The only
eternal miracle that has lived its way to us is Holy Quran: amiracle
that till this day isbeing examined in all its different aspects,
including its eloquence and language. Although Holy Quran descended in
an era where significant attention was paid to poetry and language,
nevertheless Holy Quran was not limited to that era, rather later
generations can also relate to its message and miracles. For instance,
there are cases in which Holy Quran predicts the future; and even
cases in which Holy Quran points to secrets of creation thatwere
discovered long after Holy Quran's revelation. These facts imply that
Holy Quran was revealed by the one who knows everything about the
creation of theuniverse. Further, this holy book of Islam was brought
by a Prophet who had not gone to anyacademy or school, and therefore
could not have compiled Holy Quran himself. Indeed Holy Quran was
descended by the Lord of the universe.
Has the time of miracles ended? Will we no longerwitness any miracles?
Considering the fact that the miracles of the previous prophets were
specifically designed for a certain time and place, must we then for
the sake of our own faith refer back to the historical accounts on
miracles to become a believer?
In quest for finding answers to these questions, we come across the
holy book of Islam. Holy Quran is the only book that clearly and
firmly claims to be a living miracle for all humans of any race, in
any place, and with any ethnicity they hold.
How Holy Quran views itself a Miracle of Islam?
As we already know, a miracle is an extraordinary act that can not be
performed by just any person. One whom claims to be a prophet will
then prove his status by presenting amiracle. The message miracles
tend to get across to humanity is thatsince human capacities fail to
create miracles, then surely the miracles must be planned and ordered
by a power exceeding above human powers: the power of thecreator of
this world. In other words, by giving the power of miracles to the
prophets, His chosen people, Allah (SWT) has confirmed His direct
connection with the prophets.
Similarly, to prove that it surely is a miracle from Allah (SWT), Holy
Quran challenges the people that doubt the divinity ofthis book to
bring a booksimilar to Holy Quran. It then clearly alleges that if all
the people unite to bring a complete book like that of Holy Quran,
they will not succeed. To make its point more clearand to further
prove the incapability of man in bringing a book like HolyQuran, Noble
Quran this time challenges the people to then bring onlyten chapters
like the chapters of Holy Quran. And just as the answer is obvious to
Holy Quran, it claims that indeed man cannot do such, "Or, do they
say: He has forged it.Say: Then bring ten forged chapters like it and
call upon whom you can besides Allah, if you are truthful; But if they
do not answer you, then know that it is revealed by Allah's knowledge"
(Holy Quran, 11:13-14). And finally to show the extremity of their
weakness, it agrees to continue this challenges with only one
chapter,"And if you are in doubt as to that which We haverevealed to
Our servant, then produce a chapter like it and call on your witnesses
besides Allah if you are truthful" (Holy Quran, 2:23). And again Holy
Quran alleges that they can not do such,"But if you do (it) not
andnever shall you do (it), then be on your guard against the fire of
which men and stones are the fuel; it is prepared for the unbelievers"
(Holy Quran, 2:24).
It is interesting to know what aspect Holy Quran used for this
challenge. Islamic scholars believe that the entire Holy Quran offers
many different miracles. However, when Holy Quran challenges based on
each one of its chapters it focuses on theeloquence and fluency ofthe
verses.
The Holy Scripture of Islam: Holy Quran in terms of its eloquence and fluency
Eloquence and fluency is meant in this sense that in trying to convey
the message, one uses very clear, beautiful, poetic, and meaningful
terms. Scholars of Arab literature have noticed these features in all
chapters of Holy Quran.
Looking further into their argument, we have to first see if anyone
during the past 1400 years has been able to refute Holy Quran in
bringing even one chapter like that in Holy Quran? Is it really true
that up to this day no one has been able to defeat Holy Quran? To
answer this question, we must refer back to historical accounts.
Historians, both Muslim and Non-Muslim, have not recorded any
successful accounts of those who tried to defeatthe claim of Holy
Quran. This is significant because historical accounts tend to focus
greatly on the enemies ofHoly Prophet Muhammad(PBUH&HP) and on the
ones who constantly challenged Islam; thus if they had been successful
in such a challenge, historians would have definitely recorded it.
Likewise we can see that in the contemporary era, not one has
succeeded inchallenging Holy Quran.
Why have others remained silent in answering the challenge of Holy Quran?
Was the reason for remaining silent against the challenge of Holy
Quran due to the incapability and weakness of human beings? Or does it
have other reasons? To answerthis question, we can first assume three
reasons for why people have remained silent in answering the challenge
offered by Holy Quran:
1. It may be due to the fact that the people of this and the previous
eras did not have a motive to answer this challenge of Holy Quran.
2. There was a motive to answer the challenge, but after the
revelation of Holy Quran, Arab literature became weak and eventually
diminished. Similarly non-Muslim Arab scholarsof literature do not
exist in the present day to answer this challenge.
3. Neither of the previousideas hold true; rather, no one was able to
bring a book like Holy Quran, and thus abandoned the idea completely.
By studying the earliest situations, it is obvious that the appearance
of Holy Prophet Muhammad(PBUH&HP) was when many nations were
livingwith different beliefs. Some were materialistic and denying the
existence of any God. Some were idol worshipers,
Zoroastrians,Christians and Jews. Besides these, the emperors of
Persia, and Rome had control over the weak nations. Duringthat period
of time, Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP) raised the divine flag, and
invited the world to accept Islam, and submit to one God. This
invitation to Monotheism denied duality of Zoroastrians, Trinity of
Christianity, and the improper attributes of Judaism to Allah and His
prophets, and all the bad habits and traditions from the time of
ignorance. Yet hissubmission to Allah (SWT)presented hostility between
the emperors ofhis time. Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP) alone faced
those nations nonetheless, with Holy Quran as his proof of prophecy.
With Holy Quran he challengedall the emperors of his time, the
religious scholars of Judaism, Christianity, Zoroastrianism, and
idolaters. Up to now, Islam has continued this way of challenging and
has more enemies from before trying to destroy it.
However, it is natural for them to focus on what they can do to
destroy Islam and stand against itfor the fact that Islam is
demolishing them.
They have tried and are trying many ways to wipe out Islam, in order
to achieve their goals. They put Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP) and
his companions (Sahabah) in an economic siege for three years, which
was very hard on Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP) and his people. The
big battles of Badr and Ohod which were caused by the non-believers to
destroy Islam, were unsuccessful and since they did not accomplish
their ambitions the non-believers became united in the battle of
Khandaq to get rid of Islam. They did everything they could to destroy
Islam, but their energy was worthless. Wouldn't it have been much
easier for them to come up with a man made verses instead of wasting
their time to fight with Islam in some other ways? And if they had
made up such verses which were equivalent to Holy Quran, it would have
been their proof that Islam is a false religion!
Of course the simplest way to void Holy ProphetMuhammad (PBUH&HP) and
his book was to stand up against him which was the case from the very
beginning of establishing Islam. Therefore amongst the enemies of
Islam who made their best to ruin Islam was enough motives to answer
the challenge of Holy Quran.
By over viewing the second condition, we must pay attention to
theliterary roots of Arabs which was going through a revolution.
Although eloquence and fluency was a common technique for the time
when Holy Quran was descended, but later on these techniques expanded
and flourishedcontinually up to our time. At his time the Arab
literacy is more excellent than before and there many new scopes in
the relative techniques. We can find many non-Muslim Arab literalists
throughout the world. Therefore there are many non-Muslims who are the
professionals of eloquence and fluency from the beginning of Islam to
now. Occasionally their expertise was to the extent that they have
written important reference book in their special field such as
linguistics, history, grammar. Let us imagine these literalists had
not motive to answer the challenge of Holy Quran, but couldn't the
enemies of Islam who were severely fighting against Islam, ask them to
supply their need.
So now that we cannot accept the first two conditions we should accept
the third one. No one has been able to answer the challenge Holy
Quran; the only reason could be that theywere unable to do so.
Therefore the truth of Holy Quran is being proved to all.

Miracle of Islam: Excavation of the Graves of true Companions of Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw)

Though in normal cases and circumstances the dead bodies in the grave
decompose and disintegrate yet there areproofs where the dead bodies
of martyrs, prophets and saints have been found intact when their
graves were dug.
In 1932 A.D. (1351 A.H.) the then ruling King of Iraq Shah Faisal I,
dreamtthat he was being addressed by Hazrat Hudhaifa al-Yamani (ra),
who said:
"O King! Remove Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari and me from the bank of
river Tigris and bury us atsome safe place because my grave is already
water-logged, (full of water) while Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari's
grave is slowly getting water-logged."
This dream was repeatedagain the next night but King Faisal I, did not
pay attention to it on accountof his pre-occupation with state
affairs. On the third night Hazrat Hudhaifa al-Yamani (ra) was seen in
the dream bythe grand Mufti of Iraq. Hazrat Hudhaifa al-Yamani (ra)
said to thegrand Mufti: "I have beendirecting the king since two
nights to transfer our Bodies but he has not paid any heed. Tell him
emphatically to arrange for the transfer of our graves!"
So after discussing this matter, the King, his Prime Minister and the
Grand Mufti decided to carry out this work. It was decided that the
Grand Mufti should issue a fatwa (religious ruling) on this matter and
the Prime Minister will issue statement to the press, sothat the
public may knowabout this great event. It was declared that on 10th
Zulhijjahafter noon prayers the graves shall be opened and the holy
bodies shall be transferred to another place.
As it was Hajj season, pilgrims had gathered in Makkah. They requested
King Faisal I, to postpone the event for a few days so that they all
could attend the event after performing the Hajj. Hence, the King
postponed this event to 20th Zulhijjah.
After noon prayers, on 20th Zulhijjah 1351 A.H. alarge number of
Muslims and non-Muslims gathered in Baghdad, and the city was heavily
crowded. First when the grave of Hazrat Hudhaifa al-Yamani (ra) was
opened water was fond inside. The body was lifted with a crane in such
a way that it safely came on a stretcher. Then the stretcher was
lifted by the King, the Grand Mufti, the Prime Minister and Prince
Farooq of Egypt and brought to a glass coffin box made especially to
keep the holy bodies. Thebody of Hazrat Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari
(ra) was also transferred to the glass box in the same scrupulous
manner.
The most marvelous spectacle was now seen by the huge crowd that had
gathered to witness this great event. Both theholy bodies of these
true companions (Sahabah)ofHoly Prophet Muhammad(saw) were fresh and
intact while their open eyes issued forth such divine light that the
spectator's eyes were dazzled. Furthermore, their coffin, clothes were
also intact and at first glance, it appeared as if these heroes of
Islam were alive. The two bodies were then taken away and buried
afresh near the grave of another great hero of Islam, Hazrat Salman-
e-Farsi (ra), in Salman Park which is 30 miles from Baghdad. This
miracle amazed the scientists, philosophers and doctors. They were all
bewildered and spellbound to witness this great miracle.
A German physiologist who had been showing alot of interest in this
was so impressed by the conditions of the bodies, which were buried
for more than a thousand years, that he immediately came to the Grand
Mufti, held up his hands and said, "What more evidence can there be in
support of Islam. I embrace Islam so teach me about it!" Thus
beforethousands of people this German doctor became a Muslim. His
example was followed by many Christians and Jews and for a long time
it continued in Baghdad and a large number of people became Muslims as
a result of this miracle.
Now let us all sit-back and think over this event and derive a lesson
from this miracle. Pondering over such events is potent food for the
mind and serves as an eye-opener to humanity. Some of the material
above was published in aPakistani newspaper,"Daily Jung" on 7th June
1970.
Let us now briefly look into the lives of these prominent personalities.
Hazrat Hudhaifa al-Yamani (ra)
Hazrat Hudhaifa al-Yamani (ra) was one ofthe most trusted companions
(Sahabah) ofHoly Prophet Muhammad(saw) and a near associate of Imam
Ali (as).He was one of those seven persons who joined the funeral
prayers of Bibi Fatemah (sa). There are several instances in history
where Hazrat Hudhaifa al-Yamani (ra) has proved steadfast in his
loyalty to our Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw). Hazrat Hudhaifa al-Yamani
(ra) had responded to the Prophet's call in battle of Trench (Khandaq)
when Prophet Muhammad (saw) had promised Paradise to the person who
would venture out to the enemy's camp with the intention of spying
their activities. Hazrat Hudhaifa al-Yamani (ra) was known as "the
possessor of the Secret", since Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) had
revealed to him the names and specific identity of those hypocrites
who intendedto kill him on his return journey from Tabuk, but had
strictly instructed him not to disclose the secret. Hazrat Hudhaifa
al-Yamani (ra) was appointed governor of Madain (which is a place near
Baghdad, Iraq) by Caliph Omar and held that post for many years. He
was holding that post till Imam Ali (as) assumed the Caliphate. Imam
Ali (as) then sent a letter to the people of Madain, informing them of
his Caliphate and that HazratHudhaifa al-Yamani (ra) would continue to
be thegovernor of Madian. Hazrat Hudhaifa al-Yamani (ra) died just
before the battle of Jamal in 36 A.H. He was buried in Madain.
Hazrat Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari (ra)
Hazrat Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari (ra) was also one of the most
exalted companions (Sahabah) ofHoly Prophet Muhammad(saw). Hazrat
Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari (ra) was in the forefront in 18battles,
under the bannerof Islam. Hazrat Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari (ra) was
blessed enough to have met all the Imams up to Imam Mohammad Baqir
(as) in his lifetime. Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (as) has said: "Jabir ibn
Abdullah al-Ansari was the last survivor amongstthe companions of the
Holy Prophet Muhammad(saw). Hazrat Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari (ra),
on hearing about the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (as) and his companions
and the imprisonment and humiliation of the surviving members of his
family, hastened towardsKarbala with his devoted friends and followers
and buried the martyrs there. He was the first person to pay homage
tothe martyrs of Karbalaand carry out their burialrites. Holy Prophet
Muhammad (saw) once told Hazrat Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari (ra)
that, he would live long enough to come across a person whose name
would be Mohammad Baqir and he will resemble the Holy Prophet Muhammad
(saw) in appearance and values. Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) asked
Hazrat Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari (ra) to convey his Salaams to this
man. Throughout his life Hazrat Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari (ra) was
waiting eagerly to meet our Imam Mohammad Baqir (as). Finally, when
Hazrat Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari (ra) did meet the Holy Imam he was
very old but very happy and he conveyed the Prophet Muhammad's (saw)
Salaam to the Imam Mohammad Baqir (as). Hazrat Jabir ibn Abdullah
al-Ansari (ra) did not live long after that. He was tortured by Hajjaj
bin Yusuf and it is reported that molten lead was poured on the hands
of Hazrat Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari (ra) bythe tyrant. Hazrat Jabir
ibn Abdullah al-Ansari (ra) was 94 years old when he left this world
for the heavenly abode in 78 A.H. He was also buried in Madain.
Thus let us send our gift of Sure Fatiha for these two brilliant
graduates from the school of Prophet hood, who devoted all their
efforts in safeguarding our religion. Let us not forgettheir
invaluable contribution to keep the flame of Islam kindled in our
hearts. And pray to Almighty Allah (SWT) to help us follow their
footsteps and elevate ourlevel of Imaan.
