[1] In search of solace whilst supplicating for our oppressed brothers and sisters in Palestine

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “If one of you is afflicted with a calamity, then let him reflect upon his calamity through me (i.e. my death), for indeed it is the greatest of calamities”. [1]

Imam Al-Qurtubi [may Allah have mercy upon him] reported in his Tafseer that Imam Ibn Abdil Barr [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “Indeed, he [the Messenger] spoke the truth because the calamity that results from his death is greater than every calamity that will afflict a Muslim after him until the day of judgement. The revelation stopped and Prophethood ceased (forever)”. [2] There is nothing more severe upon the Muslims than the death of Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] because indeed he was the most trustworthy and perfect guide for the Ummah. [3]

May Allah grant our Palestinian brothers and sisters patience and relief, grant mercy upon those who have lost their lives and a speedy recovery to the injured Aameen.
