Ahmad was a teenage boy at 16 years of age. He had two older
brothers and one younger sister. His parents were ones of excellent religious
character who tried their best to raise their children to the standards of Islam.
It was religion first then education second. They hated when other Muslim
friends or family asked their children about their education without first
being asked about their religious duty to Allah being performed.
Sadly Ahmad attached himself to the so-called glitter of life. He
would not pray while running off to the cinema with his friends while spending
time hours and hours a day talking about girls. When his parents realised of
what Ahmad was doing they sat him down one evening for a very important Islamic
talk.
“Ahmad, my dear son. You know I love you from the bottom of my
heart. I am your father who wants best for you all as you are all my children,
my flesh and blood.” His father said to him in a saddened tone.
“I know.” Ahmad answered without emotion.
“Ahmad. By Allah, if you don’t like school you can come and work
with me as long as you turn back to Allah.” His father said.
“Dad! It’s ok! I am 16! I have a long life ahead of me! I promise
I will be good in the future!”
“My child. Did you control the timing of your own birth? Did you
decide your own bodily features?” His father asked.
“No!” Ahmad answered.
“Then can He who brought you to this Earth without your consent at
that exact time, take your soul at an exact time without your consent?” His
father answered.
“Yes. But dad I know, I feel in my heart I will not die now!”
“My Son, before your birth you did not know that you will be born
and on what time, therefore you do not know when you will be taken back to Him
and at what time.” His dad again answered.
His mother began to cry and joined
in the discussion.
“By beloved son, can a parent be
satisfied with a disobedient son though the son declares their love for them?”
His mother asked.
“No!” Ahmad answered.
“Then the One who created the whole
Universe, the supreme, the irresistible cannot be content with His slave upon
creation who disobeys Him despite such a slave saying that he loves his Lord.”
His mother answered.
“You show your love for Allah by
obeying Him and his messenger (salla Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).” His mother
continued.
“Mother! Why is life like this? Why
must I do this and do that! I don’t want to live my life in boredom trying to
avoid almost everything!” Ahmad yelled out.
“Ahmad! She is your mother! Show
respect! Not only that, but show respect to your creator who gave you life and
gave you a wonderful mother who loves you! There are ways to have fun in
Islam!” His father said sternly.
“Are you still alive?” His father
asked.
“Yes!” Ahmad answered rudely.
“Then is that not an example of
Allah’s Mercy keeping you alive after you insulting The Most Gracious?” His
father replied.
Ahmad was lost for words. He got up
and stormed up to his room.
“You are all so boring! Why can’t
we be like other religions who say enjoy life to the max? I am ashamed to be
who I am!” Ahmad yelled as he stormed up to his room.
Poor Ahmad, little did he know that
the final count down of the last 10 days of his life had just begun…
Ahmad lay in his bed fast asleep.
The time approached Salatul-Thuhur. Suddenly Ahmad woke up from the sudden
shaking of his blankets.
“Ahmad! Wake up!” His father called
as he shook him awake.
“For God Sake! Why? It’s only
1:00pm in the afternoon!” Ahmad called out as he stretched around to stare at his
alarm clock.
“It’s only 1:00pm?! Are you insane?
Almost the whole population is out of bed, and you are acting as it is 6:00am!”
His father answered in a shocked tone.
“Why are you waking me up?” Ahmad
moaned.
“Because you are coming to the
Mosque with me today for prayer. I want you to experience just one Prayer in
your life!” His father sternly called.
Ahmad moaned as he struggled to sit
up.
“Now, I will be up in two minutes
with a cup of cold water to throw over you if you are not out of bed!” His father
said as he left Ahmad’s room.
Ahmad stormed off to the bathroom
to prepare himself in a fit of rage.
20 minutes later Ahmad and his
father were off walking towards the Mosque.
“Ahmad, I cannot believe you are so
angry with the thought of standing before Allah!” His father said as they
walked together.
“I could be at home playing my
computer; instead I am tiring myself out by having to stand for 10 hours in
boring prayer!” Ahmad moaned.
“Are you crazy? No Prayer lasts
that long, not even half of that time! Now pull yourself together because the
way you are storming down this road seems to me you are suffering from
constipation!”
“Dad! Those people must have heard!
Yet again you embarrass me!” Ahmad yelled.
“Embarrass you? The way you are
composing yourself on this street is humiliating me, your father…Right here we
are, now behave yourself for once!”
Ahmad and his father entered the
Masjid. His father carefully observed Ahmad as he performed Wudu while trying
to teach him the proper steps of performing it.
Ahmad finished the Wudu with the
sudden expression on his face seeming as if he had been working all day hard
labour!
They both entered the Prayer hall
and found a place in the front row. The Muadhdhin called out ‘Iqamah and
everyone rose to stand in Prayer before their Lord. They all begun the Salat
together with the Imam, and Ahmad stood before his Lord for the first time in
his life…
During the Prayer his father heard
sounds of sobbing to the left of him! It was his son! A small smile appeared on
the fathers face while a sensation passed through his body with pure intentions
of happiness that father and son stood side by side before their Lord in
humbleness.
After the Prayer Ahamd’s Father
looked towards his son and smiled.
“Mashah’Allah my beloved son! You
see? Is there anything more beautiful than Prayer? You even cried to Allah!”
“No, no, no! I cried because I just
realised that I left my mobile at home and I promised to call Mo.”
“WHAT! You ignorant little…” His
father held his composure.
“You are telling me you cried
because you let your friend down, while feeling NOTHING every time you let your
Lord down? Let me tell you something! Allah has no need of you or any of us, so
you better start acting like you need Him, because one day you WILL need Him!”
His father quietly yelled.
Ahmad’s father got up and stormed
outside and stood beneath a large green beautiful tree. He stared towards the
ground and cried. The tears rolled down his cheeks and dropped to the floor out
of fear and love towards his son.
That day neither father nor son
spoke to one another.
Another day gone, another day
closer to Ahmad’s death. Nine days remain…
Ahmad’s Father, Muhammad, sat at
the breakfast table staring down, watching the steam from his hot tea rise up
into the air. Ahmad’s mother, ‘Aliya, approached Muhammad and sat next to him.
“My beloved husband, what makes you
sad?”
“It is Ahmad. I weep for him. I
have had a hard life and never had the life of a proper child. I was brought up
in sin and I wasted so many years of my life in which I could have spent my
timing worshipping Allah. All I ever wanted is to bring up a son worshipping
Allah so that I can replace what I have lost and look towards my Lord Allah on
The Day of Judgment with my son in my hand and smile towards Allah showing Him,
Most High, my pious son whom I have brought into this World with the permission
of Allah. Look what we have done! We have only turned towards Allah now in our
lives and our son is lagging behind! What if he died now and goes to Hell? How
can I live with that guilt…My son, my son!” Ahmad’s father suddenly burst into
tears. Ahmad’s mother could not herself hold back the tears and both husband
and wife comforted each other.
Two more days have already passed
and Ahmad has only seven days to live.
Ahmad lay on his bed, ear phones in
his ears listening to music, magazine in his hand, eyes and mind focusing on
sinful star signs.
Hours pass. The sun begins to set.
Ahmad jumps off the bed and prepares himself for the night out with his
friends. He runs downstairs and is immediately confronted by his mother who is
blocking the front door.
“Mum! What are you doing?!”
“I am stopping you from leaving the
house! It is almost 9:00PM and we are about to eat dinner together!”
“What! I made a promise to Mo that I
will meet up with him tonight!” Ahmad screamed.
“It is late and we need to eat
dinner. Why is it your brothers and sister are so obedient and not you?”
“Because I have a life and they
don’t!”
“How dare you? They worship Allah;
they are doing well in their life…Look at you Ahmad! Cant you see what you are
doing to yourself?!”
“Move!” Ahmad screamed as he moved
forward towards his mother.
With his elbow, he knocked into his
mother pushing her over. She fell to the side knocking her shoulder against the
wall.
“Ya Allah forgive my son, forgive
me son!” ‘Aliya burst into tears holding her shoulder. Ahmad’s father ran
towards the front door to comfort his wife. Before he could say anything to
Ahmad, he had already run down the street towards his friends. Ahmad’s father
sat down holding his wife in his arms, who had already collapsed from the pain
and sadness of what her own son had done to her.
‘Aliya stared straight into
Muhammad’s eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks, eyes red with pain.
“Why? Why? I will die to save my
son for the sake of Allah. He is a part of me and a son whom I love. What he
has done to me is like removing my heart from me. I love him ya Allah! Guide
him and protect him…” ‘Aliya again burst into tears.
Ahmad’s father could not listen to
those words without feeling his heart break into two.
Little did Ahmad know that in Islam
whoever harms their mother, Allah sends punishment straight away upon them…
Ahmad ran down the road towards his
friend Mo.
“Yo Ahmad! Where were you?!” Mo
called out as Ahmad ran towards him.
“Ah! It’s my parents again! They
filled my ears again with all that religious rubbish.”
“Haha! Don’t they have a life? I
mean, Allah says He is forgiving, so as long as we believe in Him we will all
go to Paradise as long as we don’t harm other people!” Mo spoke without
Knowledge.
Mo and Ahmad continued down the
road towards the local nightclub they usually attend…
Little did they know that a police
chase was actually taking place just a few minutes drive away from where Mo and
Ahmad were!
Five police cars continued to
pursue a stolen car that headed directly towards the road Mo and Ahmad were
heading. As Mo and Ahmad joked along the road they heard the sound of several
sirens heading towards them.
One hundred meters away from the
two, the stolen car traveling at 40mph lost control and smashed into a parked
car, skidded to the other side of the road towards Mo and Ahmad…
Mo screamed as he jumped out of the
way while Ahmad hesitated. The car kept on skidding towards the two and only
managed to knock Ahmad with its side, thumping him with enough force a couple
of yards down the road. The side of Ahmad’s body collided with a brick ball and
he lay motionless on the ground. Mo screamed as he ran towards his best friend.
“Oh my God! Don’t die on me!” Mo
screamed in panic as he tried shaking his body.
Police officers ran towards Mo and
pulled him away afraid of him causing more harm on the motionless body of
Ahmad.
A few Police officers attended
Ahmad while a few others arrested and restrained the criminal.
Mo ran towards Ahmad’s house in a
panic. He ran up to the house and frantically hammered on the front door.
Ahmad’s father opened the door in
confusion.
“Mo? What happened?!” Ahmad’s
father said in a worry.
“It’s Ahmad! He’s had an accident!”
Mo screamed out, almost out of breath.
“Bring me to him quick!” Ahmad’s
father said as he quickly put his shoes on. Ahmad’s mother quickly followed.
Ahmad’s father and Mo approached
Ahmad, and this time he was surrounded by a couple of paramedics.
“Is he going to be alright?!”
Ahmad’s father asked one paramedic.
“He is unconscious at the moment
and is suffering from a dislocated shoulder. We need to get him quickly as
possible to the hospital to give him an urgent brain scan to see for any damage
or clots to the brain.”
Tears rolled down Ahmad’s fathers
cheeks.
Ahmad’s father and mother
approached the ambulance in which Ahmad’s unconsciousness body on a stretcher
was in.
“I want to come!” Mo called out to
Ahmad’s father.
“No. Just go home and ponder on
what has happened tonight and think to yourself why this has happened!” He
answered.
The ambulance doors were shut by
one of the paramedics, and the ambulance then proceeded to head quickly towards
the hospital transporting Ahmad and his worried parents.
All was quiet as Mo stood there,
listening to the sirens fade away in the distance, watching police detectives
investigate the scene of the accident.
Mo turned around and headed not
towards his home, but to the nightclub where he and Ahmad were planning to go all
along.
“Why should I bore myself at home?
No one is going to stop me from enjoying this night I already planned with poor
Ahmad…” Mo thought to himself as he headed towards the nightclub…
Both Ahmad’s parents sat around his
hospital bed as he lay there unconscious.
Suddenly Ahmad’s eyes began to
flutter, and then after a minute his eyes slightly opened.
“AllahuAkbar! My son! How are you
feeling?!” Ahmad’s mother asked as she bent over holding her son’s hands with
hers. Tears began to roll down her cheeks.
“…When I saw that car coming
towards me…I thought that was it…I was going to die…” Ahmad quietly said.
“How long were you waiting here?”
Ahmad asked.
“About 11 hours. We made Salat in
this room.” Ahmad’s father calmly said.
“…My parents stayed up for me all
those hours and continued their worship too Allah. I can’t even sit down with
my parents for a minute without having to do something that Allah hates…” Ahmad
thought to himself.
Suddenly tears pored from his eyes.
Ahmad’s father cuddled him and asked, “What makes you cry Ahmad?”
“Em…Not sure…Just happy to be
alive?” Ahmad answered rather confused embarrassed to tell his parents how he
was feeling.
After two days in the hospital,
Ahmad was released. His left arm was supported in a sling so the shoulder could
recover after the dislocation it suffered. That night while Ahmad lay in bed
resting, his friend mo called him up.
“Ah Ahmad! I heard that you are
safe back at home, that’s why I decided to call you up.” Mo said on the phone.
“That’s nice.” Ahmad answered.
“Listen Ahmad. Since that night was
messed up and you could not go to the nightclub, do you want to come down
tonight? I was so angry when you had that accident! You should have seen the
girls I chatted up at the club when you were brought to hospital!”
“Mo. To be honest, I really don’t
want to go. Say if this is a warning from Allah?”
“Warning?! Are you mad?! Don’t tell
me you are becoming an extremist! You know they have the most boring of lives!”
“They may have a boring life now,
but they sure have everything when they die!” Ahmad answered.
“Come on Ahmad! We are Muslims! We
will go to Heaven. Ok, we might be punished in Hell for a
little while, but we will all eventually go to Paradise, so what is there to
worry about? Besides, Allah is merciful! He said if you believe, He will
forgive you!” Poor Mo spoke withoutknowledge.
“Hmm. I don’t know. Let me think
about it. Surely not tonight as my arm is still in a lot of pain, but tomorrow
I will give you the answer.”
“Ok. Don’t forget to call me
tomorrow! I have to now sit down in this boring house and listen to my father
reading Qur’an. Man! They have such a boring life; I don’t even know how they
can smile!”
After the phone call Ahmad sat down
on his bed in shock. This is the first time for Ahmad to let down an offer out
of fear of what Allah can do to him! Ahmad tried holding back his tears.
“…How can Allah ever love me? Look
what I have done. I have never committed a minute of my patience and time for
Allah. I have physically hurt my mother and yet she still loves me. How can
Allah ever forgive me…?” Ahmad thought to himself.
The next day Ahmad’s arm was still
in a lot of pain. Ahmad rejected Mo’s offer in going to the local nightclub
that night. Ahmad spent the whole day thinking about life…
Days pass and now we enter the
final day of Ahmad’s life…
Nobody knows, not even the angels
of death.
The day is Thursday. Ahmad wakes up
early after having a bad dream. Fortunately his arm is out of the sling.
Ahmad slowly goes down the stairs
and sits at the kitchen table. No-body seems to be at home. He finds his
fathers work on the table. He picks up his work to move it to the desk. As he
is carrying his fathers work a small diary accidentally falls on the floor.
After his father’s papers had been put back carefully, Ahmad curiously opens up
his father’s small diary, and there written on the front page are the words of
Allah from Qur’an:
“”Oh my servants who have
transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair
not of the mercy of Allah. Truly, He is the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
(39:53)”
Ahmad suddenly burst into tears.
His hands begin to shake and his vision becomes blurred. He flicks through a
few pages and reads the following:
“…I was away from Allah. I sinned
against my soul. Far away was I from Allah. I turned to Allah and then fell
into sin again when my two sons were born…” Ahmad flicks through more pages and
what he reads shocks him even more…
“…My little Ahmad, my third son. He
is five years old now. It is him who turned me back to Allah. He saw me once
watching tv and asked, “If a Sheik came into the room and saw you, what would
you do?” I answered, “I would quickly turn off the tv”. My son answered me
back, “But baba! Allah is watching you all the time and He is more pure than
all the Sheiks in the World!” My mouth dropped. I felt disgraced with myself. I
turned back to Allah, vowing to keep my duty to Allah. My wife ‘Aliya also made
the vow…” Ahmad continued to read on…
“…My Ahmad has mixed in with the
wrong crowd. I see him moving away from his religion. I have failed. My son
changed me by the will of Allah. How can I change him? What of my actions will
make my son turn back to Allah?…”
Ahmad closed the diary, tears
rolling down his face. Ahmad got hold of a pen and paper and wrote down the
following:
“My Father. I have read your diary.
I changed you when I was a child through my questioning by the will of Allah.
Your words of your diary have turned me back to Allah by His will and Command.”
Ahmad slipped the page into his father’s diary on the last page he had read.
Ahmad got up and for the first time
on his own he performed Wudu. Ahmad put his clothes and shoes on and walked
towards the masjid.
Unfortunately little did Ahmad know
that Mo, his friend, was going to take the same road as him! Will Mo influence
him back to the road to Hell? Can Ahmad influence Mo to the road towards
Paradise? Will Ahmad continue on the road he is on?
Ahmad felt pure. A feeling of a
happiness that is indestructible; and this happiness is one that can only be
felt after doing a deed pleasing to Allah while continuing on a right path.
Ahmad walked down the street
listening to the birds around chirping, praising Allah in ways He (Allah) knows
best.
Suddenly Mo came around the corner
unexpectedly.
“Ahmad! So good to see you again!”
Mo called out.
Ahmad smiled.
“Where are you off too?” Mo asked.
“Well…I…To be honest Mo, I am going
to the Masjid.”
“What!!! Are you mad?! That
place?!”
“Listen Mo. You won’t understand
until you open your eyes.”
“And are your eyes open?”
“I am at least trying.”
“Ha! You can live your life in
boredom Ahmad, but at the end of the day, some day I will be in the same Heaven
as you, and then you will regret not having fun now.”
“Mo! How are you so sure of
entering Paradise?”
“Yes! Because Allah and His Prophet
(saws) said.”
“We are in no situation to start
interpreting Hadith Mo. Anyway, do you really think that the people of Paradise
will regret not doing sinful things? In fact it would be the complete
opposite.”
“I cannot believe you have gotten
brainwashed Ahmad. But I know a way to change your mind…” Ahmad smirked towards
Mo and quickly ran off.
“…Oh no! What is he up too..?”
Ahmad thought to himself.
Ahmad continued on towards the
Masjid.
As Ahmad walked towards the doors
of the Masjid, the hairs on his body stood on end.
“…This is it…” Ahmad said to
himself as he opened the door of the Masjid and entered.
Inside was empty. Inside was very
quiet. Ahmad walked over to the corner of the Masjid and sat down facing the Qibla.
“Ya Allah! Forgive me! I am so
scared of you now. I have done so much that you hate, yet you did not take my
soul…” For two whole hours Ahmad cried and spoke to Allah. Tears streamed down
his face. In fact, he cried so much the carpet beneath his face was wet with
tears.
Time past on. Suddenly the local
Sheik entered the room and spotted Ahmad. He stood for a moment listening to
Ahmad’s Du’a. He was so moved by it, his eyes began to shed tears. He slowly
approached Ahmad and carefully comforted him. Ahmad jumped slightly.
“Oh Sheik…I…I am sorry for…” Ahmad
said embarrassed, but before he could finish the Sheik said:
“Ahmad. It’s ok. I see that you
feel embarrassed, but that is good. It is better to be embarrassed than one who
shows off.” The Sheik said as he smiled towards Ahmad.
“Your father and mother would be
really proud of you. But most and best of all, you have submitted your whole
self to Allah.” The Sheik continued on.
“I angered my parents oh Sheik. How
can I make them happy?” Ahmad said.
“You have already made them happy
when they see you now. Your father is very proud of you.”
“I mean, I want to get them
something nice, as a gift.”
“Hmm. Well, you can get your mother
some flowers or chocolate, and your father some perfume maybe?”
Ahmad smiled and said, “Wonderful
idea. I will do that.”
“Here.” The Sheik said as he handed
Ahmad two small pieces of paper and a pen.
“Write a small message to each of
your parents and stick it on the gifts when you buy them.” The sheik said.
Ahmad began to write down small
messages to his mother and father on the separate pages.
“Jazak Allah Kher Sheik. I cannot
wait to get back and see my parents smile!” Ahmad said ecstatically as he got
up.
“Barak Allah Fekum Ahmad! I cannot
wait for ‘Ishah prayer tonight to see you and your father come
Inshah’Allah!” The Sheik replied smiling.
“You will see us both
Inshah’Allah!” Ahmad answered.
Ahmad gave the Sheik a big hug and
began to make his journey towards some local shops.
Ahmad spent some time selecting
some gifts for his parents with the money he got. He managed to buy some lovely
perfume for his father and a delicious box of chocolates for his mother. After
buying the gifts he stuck the small messages on them and prepared his blessed
journey home.
Time ticks away…Not a single Human
or Jinn on this Earth has realised that Allah has just ordered the Angels of Death to prepare to take a few peoples soul including
Ahmad’s…!
Ahmad begins his journey home still
constantly seeking Allah’s forgiveness…Mo with a half dressed girl in his arm
spots Ahmad from a distance and smirks making his way towards Ahmad preparing
to perform his disgusting sinful plan…A pious elderly Muslim lady prepares to
cross the road…Ahmad begins to cross the road…Mo quickly runs to the centre of
the road and calls out, “Yo Ahmad! Look at the chick I got for you! She can be
yours right now!”
“…Oh no! Ya Allah help me…!” Ahmad
says to himself trying his best to keep staring towards the ground, knowing
that his weak point are women…The pious elderly Muslim lady begins to cross the
road…And then death prepares to strike from all angles!!!
Ahmad stares to the ground and
continues to cross the road?Shaytan senses the presence of death and rushes
towards his enemy, Ahmad.
“?Look at the woman Ahmad! She is
beautiful! Look at her to get rid of your satisfaction..!” Shaytan whispers
into his ear.
Suddenly a truck several yards from
the group automatically looses control. A loud screech is heard from the group
as they turn around and spot the truck skidding towards them! Ahmad sees that
the pious Muslim elderly Sister is in the line of collision! He drops the bags
and rushes towards the Sister.
“?By Allah, if I am going to do
something for Allah, I will save this Muslim Sister to make Allah happy..!”
Ahmad says to himself as he rushes to her and pushes her out the way. In those
moments the truck smacks into Mo and the girl he is with knocking them flying
into the air. Next in line is Ahmad. Ahmad manages to push the elderly Sister
out of the way but is caught up in the collision. Within seconds all three
teenagers are lying in pools of blood.
“Oh Allah?I am scared?I don’t want
to die like this?I did not even do my full five prayers yet?I did not fast…”
Ahmad slowly says as tears roll down his face. Blood pours from the side of his
body and skull.
The collision made enough sound for
people to rush out of their homes. Even the Imam of the local Masjid came
rushing out. The Sheik spotted Ahmad in the distance and ran towards him as
fast as he could.
“Ahmad!” The Imam calls out as he
rushes towards him taking hold of his bloodied hand.
“Pronounce Shahada!” The Imam calls
out.
Suddenly a strange cold breeze is
felt by Ahmad. In confusion he looks up and what he sees is something he could
have never imagined in his life.
Two groups of astonishing angels
begin descending from the sky. One group shining like the sun. Wings spreading
as far as the eyes can see. A radiating beauty spreading from their faces and
bodies, with comforting arms stretching forth. The other group on the other
hand, have faces and bodies dark and terrifying, faces of extreme horror.
Sounds of thunder bursting from their mouths carrying tools of torture within
their hands.
” Lah He Lah Ha Ilallah!” Ahmad
begins to call out.
The Imam smiles, tears rolling down
his face. He spots sweat appear upon Ahmad’s forehead. The Imam knew that one
who dies with sweat upon the brow is a good sign.
Ahmad still has no idea which
groups of angels are going to whom. Suddenly Ahmad feels a relief that no human
can ever feel in this life as he realises that the angels of extraordinary
beauty are looking at him!
Ahmad raises his hands towards
theirs, wanting to get away from the pain.
“No more crying Ahmad. Come to us.
We are your friends. We love you so much Ahmad. We will look after you and care
for you until you meet Allah who is very happy with you!” The angels call out
as their hands come into contact with Ahmad’s. Slowly they take Ahmad’s soul
more gently than a caring mother lifting her new born child.
Tears flow down the cheeks of Ahmad
as he is left in absolute shock of what he is seeing. He spots an unbelievably
looking cradle like bed made of a beautiful light of different colours being
carried by one Angel. As the Angels slowly place his soul into the cradle,
another Angel sprinkles a beautiful smelling musk never smelt by man upon
Ahmad. Like little twinkling stars, they slowly fall upon Ahmad like small colourful
snowflakes.
While Ahmad is being treated to
this death of honour, the other group of terrifying Angels of torture headed
towards Mo and the girl he was with!
Like a skewer being ripped through
wet cotton wool, the Angels tear away at Mo’s and the girl’s soul. The Angels
with Ahmad prevent him from hearing the screams of the two so that he can be at
peace as much as possible.
“Oh Allah no! Please! I am a
Muslim, I am a Muslim!” Mo screams as the Angels of punishment rip his soul
out, veins and arteries dangling from his body.
“Muslim?! Do not degrade the name
of Muslim! You disobeyed Allah and you lived in denial of Allah’s punishment!
Now you will suffer for now and forever!” The Angels scream out to him in
thundering voices as they throw his and the girls soul into a bed of dark black
fire.
“May Allah curse you Mo! You guided
me to this! May Allah give you a double punishment!” The girl screams out as
her flesh and bone is left exposed as she burns slowly and agonisingly in the
bed of fire.
“I did not force you to sin! You
came to me willingly!” Mo cries out.
“Quiet! Save your arguments for The
Day of Judgment!” The Angels scream out to them.
Both Mo and the girl look up and
spot Ahmad.
“?If only I listened to Ahmad on
the road I may have been with him now?” Mo says to himself as tears pour from
his eyes from both the agony and the regret.
Back on Earth Ahmad’s parents have
come onto the street to see what has happened.
Suddenly Ahmad’s father spots his
son lying in a pool of blood on the road.
“Ya Allah no!” Ahmad’s father
screams out as he rushes towards his son.
The Imam spots Ahmad’s father
rushing towards the body. He quickly gets up and tries to prevent Ahmad’s
father from approaching the dead body.
“What happened?! Is he ok?!”
Ahmad’s father cries out.
The Imam takes Ahmad’s father by
the shoulders and embraces him in his arms.
“Allah has taken Ahmad back to
Him.” The Imam slowly says.
“Ya Allah! My son, my son!” Ahmad’s
father says as he almost collapses to the floor.
The Imam slowly helps the father to
sit upon the ground.
“Muhammad, listen to me. Your son
has turned back to Allah. I saw him crying so much in the Masjid today. He was
there for about two solid hours all by himself seeking forgiveness. I had a
beautiful talk with him and he even bought you some gifts to try and please
Allah in making you happy. Best of all dear Muhammad, he pronounced the Shahada
before going, and not only that, but he saved an elderly Muslim Sister. He
looked up into the sky and smiled just before his breathing stopped. Take
this.” The Imam said as he handed the bag of gifts Ahmad bought for his
parents.
Ahmad’s father was still in shock
as he held the gifts in his hands. Slowly he lifted the gifts out of the bag.
There he found a beautiful bottle of musk for himself and a delicious box of
chocolate.
He read the following message
attached to the musk:
“Dear beloved father. This is for
you. I Love Allah more than anything and I will do everything in my power to
make you and mama happy. I cannot wait for tonight to pray ‘Ishah Prayer with
you at the Masjid!”
Tears poured from Ahmad’s father’s
eyes.
“My son has made me proud!
AllahuAkbar! AllahuAkbar!” Muhammad got up and ran towards his wife who had
made her way back into the house seeking Allah to forgive her son.
“‘Aliya! ‘Aliya! Look at what our
Ahmad got for us!” He quickly handed the box of chocolates to his wife and
asked her to read the message:
“Dear beloved mother. These
chocolates are for you. I have hurt you both physically and mentally, and by
Allah it will never happen again. From now on I vow to make you smile and never
frown. I vow to make you happy and never sad. By Allah, we will pray to Allah
together, and Inshah’Allah we will walk into Paradise together as one big
family.”
“SubhanAllah! Lah He Lah Ha Ilallah!
My son turned back to Allah!” ‘Aliya cried out.
Muhammad told her the story of what
the Imam told him.
Nobody knew of the honour and
beauty Ahmad was experiencing, while nobody knew of what the terrors Mo and the
girl were going through.
“Ya Rubb! How can this be so
beautiful in what I am seeing?!” Ahmad says as tears roll down his face.
“Oh Ahmad! You have seen nothing
yet. We have not even come close to the Doors of Eternal Beauty!” The angels
call out to him as they begin their ascent through the Seven Heavens.
Up they rise, faster than the speed
of light. A beautiful wind gushes upon the face of Ahmad as he sits within the
casket of beauty. He looks around in absolute amazement as he passes each of
the Seven Heavens, and he notices that the next one he enters seems to be more
beautiful than the last! Comfort indescribable sets in the soul of Ahmad, a
feeling of happiness completely protected against any speck of sadness or
worry.
On the other hand, Mo and the girl
burn continuously in the garments of fire as the Angels of punishment bring
them up through the Seven Heavens. The pain and torment they experience are so
bad that they are unable to view the spectacular scenery surrounding them.
Every nerve within their bodies is afflicted with agony beyond imagination.
Their bodies are prevented from going into shock; no end to the pain;
continuous tears pour forth from their dark reddening eyes.
“Ya Allah! If I truly knew death was this bad I would have been your best
servant! Please Allah! I now know! Please send me back and I will be the best!”
Both Mo and the girl scream out.
“No more sound from you! You said
you were Muslims yet you did not obey Allah! You were warned by your family yet
you did not take heed! You knew about Hell and the punishment from Allah yet it
did not scare you to turn back to Him! This is your reward for choosing the
life that you wanted! You fell for your desires and you did not want to
sacrifice the sinful fun for pleasing Allah! Now you will face the pleasure for
the sinful; Hell will be your abode! Now you will soon see the pious enjoying
their lives within the Garden of Eternal Delight! See then and tell me what the
real entertainment is; the pleasure of the World that is now gone from you
forever, or the pleasure of Paradise that will last forever! See then and tell
me who are those who show true happiness; those sinful people on this Earth
looking to seek pleasure while the pious cry to Allah, or those who used to cry
to Allah now dwelling in Gardens of Eternal Delight while those who tried to
seek pleasure on this Earth now screaming for eternity in the depths of
Hell-Fire!” The Angels call out, each word sending shivers down the spines of
Mo and the girl.
“But the pain is too much! I cannot
bare it no more! Please take away some of the pain!” The girl screams out.
“Pain?! You have not even felt
pain! You have seen nothing yet! For you the terrors of the Grave await you!
For you, the horrors of the Day of Judgment are approaching! And for you, the
final resting place of a pain and terror beyond your wildest imagination
awaits. It is Jahannam, the final abode for the disobedient servants of Allah
who underestimated His anger and
punishment!”
Back on Earth the parents of each
of the youth who passed away help in the preparation of the burial and the washing of the dead.
As an honour from Allah to Ahmad,
Allah placed noor (light) within the face of Ahmad’s dead body and a smile that
spread across his face. Each person who saw a glimpse of his face was left
amazed at the sight.
“Inshah’Allah this is a good sign
from Allah.” Ahmad’s father says as tears roll down his face.
“I am sure it is, Inshah’Allah.”
The Sheik of the Masjid says as he stood next to Ahmad’s father.
Far from noor, the faces of both Mo
and the girl were disfigured. Their faces suffered major trauma from the
accident, but little did people know that this was from Allah as a curse upon
their bodies.
The first to be led to
Salatul-Janaazah was Ahmad. At the front row Ahmad’s father stood along with
the rest of his children. The mother stood far at the back along with the rest
of the Muslim Sisters. Amazingly that day, literally hundreds of pious Muslims
with big beards and Islamic clothing came to pray Salatul-Janaazah for Ahmad.
Ahmad’s father Muhammad turned around in absolute astonishment as he watched
crowds of Muslims trying to squeeze in for a space in Prayer. Muhammad
was so moved by what he saw and thanked Allah continuously in his heart for
allowing so many Muslims attend, tears poured from his eyes.
In fact, there were so many pious
Muslims that day, Salatul-Janaazah had to be repeated three times to allow
those who waited outside to come in and make the Salat. Again, almost no body
knew that this was another honour from Allah towards Ahmad?
As for Mo and the girl, there was a
surprisingly major setback in sorting out the death certificates etc, therefore
preventing both of them being buried on Friday. Yet again, almost no body knew
that this was another humiliation upon them for their disobedience towards
Allah.
“AllahuAkbar!” The Imam calls out
for the start of the first Rekk’a of Salatul-Janaazah. A feeling of fear and
love of Allah passes through the air and through the hearts of the Muslims
within the Masjid without them knowing, as Angels within the room constantly
make Du’a towards Ahmad asking Allah for mercy, forgiveness and reward upon his
soul. The only sign upon this Earth of this happening was the feeling of
absolute concentration and crying towards Allah as the Muslims stood in Salat.
As these Muslims prayed towards
Allah to ask Him to have mercy upon Ahmad, the angels with Ahmad already
arrived to the Seventh Heaven and had his book written down in ‘Illiyun and
back to Earth they headed. While those on Earth prayed for Ahmad, he was being
treated to a death of honour, and yet an honour greater than this awaits him.
After Salat Muhammad turned around
to the Sheik and asked with tears still in his eyes, “What about Mo and the
girl?”
“There is a delay with their death
certificates. The time the parents are finished sorting that out, the burial
most likely will be on Saturday. Anyway, let us get going to the burial site.”
The Sheik says as he compassionately takes Muhammad’s arm and guides him to the
car?
The Angels with Ahmad have now come
back to Earth, and the soul of Ahmad waits over his dead body. The body has now
arrived to the burial ground. There, before Ahmad’s eyes is his own burial
spot. Radiating light of different colours spring forth from his grave. Sounds
similar to that of a miraculous waterfall and the falling of leaves can be
heard in the distance, but the beauty of the sound multiplied thousands of
times more than that of Earth. The smell from the foods of Paradise can be
smelt from the distance; from food that cannot even be imagined or created upon
this Earth.
“Please, please, let me get into my
Grave!” Ahmad screams out in extreme excitement.
“Ahmad! Be patient, for I cannot
even imagine how you will act when you set foot within Paradise!” The Angels
say to him smiling.
Ahmad is in so much excitement and
so determined to get within his grave, that this even has an impact upon his
dead body!
As his body is carried towards the
grave by his grieving father and other members of his relatives, the dead body
becomes awfully light!
“SubhanAllah! My son’s body seems
so light!” Muhammad says.
“Mashah’Allah. Those who are pious,
their dead bodies seem light since the soul wants to get into the Grave, while
that of the disbeliever and the disobedient, their bodies seem heavy since the
soul does not want to enter the grave because of the horrors of what they see.”
The Sheik says.
The closer Ahmad gets to his Grave,
the greater his anticipation and happiness becomes. With all the joy he is
experiencing, he does not even notice the surrounding events taking place!
The final time Ahmad’s dead body
will see the light of day has now come. Muhammad gets inside of the grave along
with the local Sheik. For the last time upon this Earth Muhammad takes his son
in his arms and carefully positions him down into the grave. For the last time
on this Earth, Muhammad looks into his son’s eyes and stares at him. The Sheik
spots the tears developing in Muhammad’s eyes, his body beginning to shake with
the sadness.
“Muhammad. Keep firm and patient.”
The Sheik says to him quietly and calmly.
“Yes Inshah’Allah, but words cannot
describe the feeling of burying my own son.”
“This is Qadr of Allah and this is
surely a great test. Keep firm upon the path of the Sunnah and Qur’an and you
will meet him again face to face, Inshah’Allah.”
If only his father sees the state
of Ahmad now, he will surely smile and cry out of absolute happiness. Little
does everyone know that Allah is going to send a sign upon them all of the
condition and state of Ahmad!
Slowly the soil of the ground is
thrown over the body of Ahmad. Minute by minute the hole of the grave begins to
fill. Family, relatives and friends watch down in sadness, some crying out of
grief, others crying out of fear that one day they will be in Ahmad’s
situation, dead.
They all sit around Ahmad’s grave
until the time appointed. As they walk away, Ahmad’s soul is instantly taken up
outside the Gates of Paradise. There before him is the most magnificent doorway
he has ever seen in his life. The size of it is beyond the imagination of any human
being. Larger than a galaxy, made out of magical gold and silver bricks, a
light of honour glimmering continuously from the gates. The gates prevent any
eye in seeing the other side while all that is smelt and heard are the smells
and sounds of Paradise beyond. Smells of unbelievably beautiful musk spreads
forth from the gates of Paradise, while the sounds of magical water, the chirps
of animal’s unheard of and other sounds unrecognizable to the ear can be heard.
Magical walls beyond beauty spreads further than the eyes can see on both sides
of the gate.
A smile spreads across the face of
Ahmad while a feeling of incredible excitement enters his soul.
“Please let me in! I would love to
see what is beyond those gates!” Ahmad calls out.
“Be patient Ahmad, for you will one
day be allowed to enter those gates, for the gates and walls you see are the
beginning of a Paradise wider than the Heavens and the Earth. A size you cannot
even imagine, a size you will never be able to perceive even when you step foot
into Paradise. It is a land where your dreams will come true; a land where no sadness or
boredom is ever felt; a land where only desires and happiness are fulfilled;
ask, and you will be granted; walk the lands of Paradise and forever you will
come across things beyond your imagination.
Oh Ahmad. Prepare yourself for you
have not even seen beauty. Prepare yourself for a land of unbelievable joy.
But now prepare your eyes for the
greatest of beauty, a beauty beyond magnificence. Prepare yourself for the day
you meet the Creator of all, Allah Subhanahuwata’aalah who is well pleased with
you.” The angels call out.
Shivers passed along the spine of
Ahmad when he heard those words.
“I cannot wait to meet Allah! But I
am so ashamed to meet Him because of the bad things I have done.” Ahmad says.
“Do not fear Him now and do not be
shy, for Allah is also looking forward in meeting you Ahmad.” The angels call
out.
“AllahuAkbar!” Ahmad screams out as
a feeling of mixed emotions of extreme happiness and extreme anticipation
enters his soul.
The angels with Ahmad follow on in
the praises of Allah, until all angels around begin the glorification of Allah,
until the sound of praise begins to shake the ground beneath, the words passing
through the air like a soothing wind.
Back on Earth Ahmad’s father and
his wife prepare for bed. Both kept very silent that night, only making
continuous Du’a to Allah.
The next morning at Fajr time,
Muhammad rises from his sleep smiling and in what seems to be, a very excited
state.
“‘Aliya! ‘Aliya! Wake up!” Muhammad
shouts out shaking his wife waking her up.
“Ahmad!” ‘Aliya surprisingly calls
out as her eyes open up.
“I dreamt of Ahmad in a beautiful
kingdom!” Muhammad says excitedly.
“What?! AllahuAkbar! I dreamt of
the same thing!” ‘Aliya calls out.
“This could be a good sign!”
Muhammad says.
Moments later the phone rings.
Muhammad picks it up only to find the Imam of the local Masjid on the other
side of the line.
‘Aliya looks into the eyes of her
husband and notices his face light up with even more happiness and hope.
After a couple of minutes Muhammad
puts down the phone and tells his wife the amazing news. The Imam had the exact
dream as Muhammad and ‘Aliya! After they made Salat and for the past hour,
phone calls poured in from relatives and friends. Allah has made Ahmad as a
good example to all, and has made all those who knew him to dream of his good
condition in the Hereafter.
That day, Mo and the girl were
buried. Very few turned up to their burial, not even their own parents…
“No more pain! Please!” Mo screams
out.
Mo and the girl watch on in terror
as their bodies approach their burial grounds. From the depths of their graves
they watch on in terror as thousands of hideous and grotesque insects pour into
their grave. Inside their grave scorpions the size of a small baby with long
spidery legs six foot in length scuttling along the ground can be seen by only
the dead.
Black snakes well over 20 foot with
the most terrifying face ever imaginable with dozens of large sword like teeth
are also present. Thousands of large wet worms with hundreds of spiny legs
embedded along the side of their bodies squirm around only to cause sever pain
with the bites from their small jaws and the prodding of their spiny legs.
Mo and the girl scream in absolute
terror as their bodies are placed within their graves. The insects force their
way into their mouths crawling down their throats. Some insects are so large
that Mo and the girl’s mouth are forced open so wide that their jaws end up
breaking and their cheeks tearing. Their screams continue and then begin to
gurgle in their own vomit as the insects crawl down their throats. Some worm
like creatures begin to eat their way back out of their throats, while others
continue down into their stomach only to burst out of their abdomen. The large
scorpions dig their claws and poisonous stings without mercy into the eyes and
face of Mo and the girl. Each time the flesh, sinew, and muscle is torn off
from their bodies; it is only replaced again and again so the pain never ends.
After a while, that felt like a lifetime for Mo and the girl, the insects
scuttle off. Suddenly the walls of their grave begin to slowly close in on
them. They scream in absolute terror and panic as the walls of their graves
slowly crush them to almost death. Their
shoulder blades slowly come together in a sick crunch as their own stomach and
insides pour out from their mouths and nose.
After the Crushing of the Grave, Mo
and the girl, each one alone, in a separate dark “room” watch on in terror as
Munkar and Nakeer approach them at the same time. After the Questioning of the
Grave, and the torture from the blind, death and dumb one, the “room”
automatically turns into a torture chamber beyond imagination.
Mo screams in terror as angels in
horrifying forms approach him carrying large iron nails and hammers.
“Please no!!!” Mo screams out as a
large nail is placed over his left eye and then without hesitation hammered
into his skull. The same was done to his right eye. After this terrifying
ordeal, the angels without mercy begin to hammer at least another dozen nails
into his skull.
“This punishment is for every time
you touched a woman Allah has forbidden you to touch!” The angels scream out,
letting Mo know why he is receiving such torture. Each time the nails were
hammered through his skull, his skull would return back to normal only to be
treated to the same punishment.
The girl also received the same
punishment as Mo, but for her another angel approached her carrying two very
large iron hooks. Despite her crackling scream and cries, the angel forced the
hook through her tongue ripping it out of her mouth. Then the angel placed the
other hook through her belly button, ripping the flesh off her abdomen exposing
her insides. Her stomach and other organs emptied out onto the dark murky
floor.
“This is for the piercing you did
upon your tongue and your belly! Tell me now with the pain you feel was it
really worth it? Did you gain eternal pleasure? Did it wipe out every form of
depression upon this Earth?”
“No! Please stop! I only did it
because I was tempted by it! I was planning to get rid of it!” The girl screams
out.
“Your excuses are nothing but air!
You knew it was forbidden yet you denied your Lord, thinking that He will let
you live only so you can live through your desires and then you hoped to grow
bored of it. Know this; those who want to enjoy their pleasures thinking that
they will grow out of it, the only thing that is growing is the torment and
pain they will feel in the Afterlife!” The angels call out sternly to her.
Back with Ahmad, the angels of
mercy escort him towards the largest and most beautiful building he has ever
seen in his entire life. It looks like a giant dome made out of purple emerald,
the size of which can hold many Planet Earth’s with ease. Large crystal frame
windows line the sides of this incredible emerald dome, while colourful plants
and little ponds line the whole circumference of it.
“SubhanAllah! Am I going to go in
there?!” Ahmad calls out excitedly.
“Of course you are Ahmad. This is
your place of stay until the coming of the final hour.” An angel says smiling
towards him.
“AllahuAkbar!” Ahmad calls out.
Each step Ahmad takes towards the
doors of the magical emerald dome, his excitement reaches a new level beyond
description.
As Ahmad walks towards the magical
gates, they slowly open releasing an incredible scent out in the open. Ahmad’s
hair is pushed back as the wind gently strikes against his body.
He enters the large magical dome,
and there before him is an incredible garden of literally thousands of large
colourful flowers and bushes never seen by man. Streams of blue and green water
pass through the land like meandering rivers, the water passing along at a
generally fast speed. As the water hits against the banks of the rivers,
splashes of water rise and suddenly turn into hundreds of colourful fruits
resembling bubbles, floating around, waiting to be picked by someone and eaten.
All along the banks of the rivers are magical gems and rubies in colours
unknown to man. Ahmad runs towards the river laughing and in an ecstatic mood.
He quickly places his arms deep within the magical water, which feels so
soothing and cool. He takes some water in his hands and takes a sip. The
flavour is beyond imagination, similar to that of a magical tropical fruit. He
finds one of the floating fruits resembling a bubble and takes it in his hand.
He takes a bite, his teeth easily sinking into the almost see through fruit. He
cannot believe the flavour, something indescribable. He spends time enjoying
the fruit around him when he suddenly hears laughing in the distance. He turns
around in shock and there in the distance is a small group of Muslims sitting
together enjoying a Hugh feast. He smiles and quickly runs up to them.
“Assalaamu’Alycom dear Brother.
Come join us.” One of the Brothers calls to him smiling.
“Wa’laycom Assalaam!” Ahmad says
excitedly.
He is given a golden plate full of
rice, lamb and salad. The food looks flawless. Not a single defect can be found
in the food.
“Mashah’Allah! So this is it? No
more sadness and worry? I still cannot get over the excitement that there will
never be any boredom, sadness, pain or worry!” Ahmad says.
The Brothers around him laugh.
“Wait until we enter Paradise and
see the Face of our Allah.” One Brother says.
“AllahuAkbar!!!” All of the Muslims
call out.
Suddenly a multi coloured cloud
appears over them and a shower of gems fall upon them like snowflakes. Each gem
is edible, a delicious sweet given to them by Allah. An angel suddenly appears
to the Muslims and says, “Dear Slaves of Allah! This is a small gift from Allah
to thank you for praising His name.”
“AllahuAkbar! AllahuAkbar!
AllahuAkbar!” The Muslims continue to scream out in extreme happiness, tears
appearing from their eyes. Just the thought of Allah loving them is beyond
words and description. No gift can ever be compared to being loved by Allah.
Time passes on, not affecting the
Muslims within the magical dome.
Ahmad lays upon a bed of a material
made only for the pious, watching above as small gem like leaves float around
in all directions, releasing a beautiful scent attaching to anything it
touches.
Ahmad slowly looks to the left and
what he sees is something he could not possibly imagine would happen?There,
before him, is his mother, father, two brothers and his sister! His whole
family is there before him!
“Mama! Dada! My Brothers and
Sister!!!” He rushes towards them and hugs them tightly.
“My son! My son!” His mother cries
out, crying out of extreme happiness.
“How? By Allah how?!” Ahmad calls
out in tremendous exhilaration.
“Well by dear Son. 10 years after
your death, we went
to Hajj. It was
the most exhilarating experience ever. Nothing could be compared to standing
among all the Muslims bowing down to Allah.
While in Salat al-Layl (night Prayer), your
mother and I made big Du’a to Allah to grant us a place with you in the
Hereafter. After coming back from Hajj, we were all in our car driving back
home reciting Qur’an, when suddenly we were struck by a truck and we all died
by the will of Allah.”
“SubhanAllah! What is also shocking
was when you mentioned 10 years! It feels I was here for only a few days! I
thank Allah so much that He has united my family with me!”
An angel suddenly appears before
the family.
“No more sadness, no more division.
You were united upon the Earth and were separated at death. You have now united
for the second time, and unity will be for eternity. You will be a family
forever. You will enter Paradise together, without end. You will be loved by
Allah forever!” The angel calls out smiling towards them.
“Lah Illah Ha Illallah! Takbeer!
AllahuAkbar!” The family call out hand in hand.
“Mama! Dada! And my dear brothers
and little sister! Come and I will show you around, for there is so much to
show you in here, and even with this, I have only seen a fraction of what is in
this Hugh magical dome. Imagine what will be in Paradise!!!” Ahmad calls out in
excitement indescribable.
There they went: Ahmad, his mother,
father, brothers and little sister, off to enjoy a magnificent feast with the
rest of the blessed brothers and sisters within the magical dome of wonder.
Muslims that will be united forever. A unity that will grow for eternity to
come. A love and family bond that will continue to grow between them forever
and ever?
