The masjid was full with whom she invited to Islam

A friend of mine spoke to me with

tearful eyes and said:

"Today I heard about the death of a very dear person to me (my beloved

teacher).

She looked after me when I first came

to this country, I was 14 years old and

she was 50 years old.

She used to take me with her to her weekly classes then drop me off home.

She used to take me with her to visit

sick people at the hospital.

She used to take me with her to the

school where she gave a speech about

Islam. She used to take me with her while

preparing for her classes and caring for

refugees.

Then …

I moved away to another town and I

lost contact with her. .

Recently, I had a feeling that she was

sick in hospital and I decided to visit her

and introduce my daughters to her but

I got sick as well and I couldn't go.

. Today, a sister called to tell me that my

beloved friend has passed away after

being sick in hospital for a while. I was

shocked to find out that my feelings

were true.

I still remember her beautiful smile, and today I heard she had the biggest smile

ever while they were washing her.

.

In her Janazah prayer, the masjid was

full with whom she invited to Islam,

and those whom life and affairs kept them apart have once more come

together.

All of these people along with the

Imam of the masjid bore witness that

she was always foremost in doing good

and inviting people to Islam. I also found out that she used to have a

set place in the yearly Town show

where she invited people to Islam and

gave out pamphlets about Islam.

She knew why she was created, and

she worked hard for it." .

.

My friend became really emotional

while she was speaking, so I tried not

to interrupt her so she may let out her

sorrow and sadness, and also hoping to find out more about this beautiful

person.

After a while my friend left but her

words kept echoing in my head

especially the sentence "The masjid was

full with whom she invited to Islam" I stopped for so long at this sentence

repeating it over and over and

reflecting on it

"The masjid was full with whom she

invited to Islam"

All of these people will bear witness on the day of Judgement that she knew

why she was created, and she worked

hard for it.

.

Glory is to Allah, time passes by and we

are still on the road with no significant accomplishment.

We have not invited anyone to Islam …

We have not helped anyone correct

their Aqeeda …

We have done nothing to plant faith in

the empty and lost hearts … We did not strive enough to raise a

generation of men and women like the

prophet's companion.

We did not …

And before we know it, Time will be

over and we will not have more chances to any do good deeds.

At that moment, regret will not save us.

.

So isn't it time to review our past

actions and reconsider our future plans

before a day will come where we will say:

{Oh, I wish I had not been given my

record} [Al Haqah :25]

{Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some

good] for my life} [Al Fajr : 24]
