Asalam Alaykum

اللهم قربني إليك

Allāhumma qarribnī ilaik.

Sheikh Bilal Assad mentioned how 3 days after his son and brother had passed away, he found himself standing on the edge of a flat roof of a house. It was the same roof he had spent the last time with his son, the night before he passed away.

He thought, “Why am i not with them? Why am i still living? I should be with them.”

At that moment, subhanaAllah, the Qur’an started being recited from the mosque speakers. And you know what the first verse was?

‎وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا

‎“…Do not kill or overburden yourselves. Indeed, Allah is ever so Merciful to you.”

[4:29]

‎As soon as Sheikh Bilal Assad heard this, he started to cry because he knew this was from Allah.

‎This is why Allah says,

‎وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

“We revealed the Qur’an as a healing and mercy for the believers.”

" في قلبي حدائق بابسة كثيرة و ، انت يا الله رب المطر“
