Asalamu Alaikum,

The Janaza will take place sometime tomorrow morning insha Allah in Saskatoon. Alhamdullilah, they were able to schedule it as soon as possible.

Upon Naila and Hassan's arrival to Brampton, insha Allah, I'm sure they will be wanting to meet with each and everyone of you, so they would like to plan some type of dua/prayer at the Islamic Forum of Canada insha Allah.

Further updates will be provided as to date/time insha Allah.

May Allah have mercy on us and forgive us for our sins. Ameen.

Fareheen

    Salamalaykum Hassan Bhai,

    Innalillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon. I wanted to share something i heard today about one of the tabieen.

    Urwah Ibn Az Zubayr went to damascus for a visit. He was at the palace of the Khalifa and his young boy was kicked by a horse in the stables and he died. As Urwah was berrying his son, he started having a problem in his leg, some sort of infection. The cure for that disease was to amputate his leg. He refused to drink wine or take opium to ease the pain of the amputation and bore the pain with the Tasbih "La Ila Ha Illallah Wallahu Akbar". After the amputation, he held his leg up and said to it, "I swear by the one that let you carry me to the masjid at night, that Allah knows that i have never used you in anything that is Haram". Urwah then went to Medinah and people came to condole him. He said to the people "Don't worry about what you see, Allah Subhanahu wataala gave me four children and he only took one. Allah ta'ala gave me a lot and left me a lot more than what he has taken. Praise Allah! and he gave me four limbs and took one. Praise and thanks and gratitude to Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala. If Allah ta'ala has taken something from me, he left me a lot. And if Allah put me in a state of tribulation once, and he has given me a lot of safety and bounty many many times over.

    That my dear brother was the patience of Urwah Ibn Az Zubayr. InshaAllah we will see you soon. May Allah grant you much more than he has taken in this life and in the hereafter. I love you for the sake of Allah.

    Asslamaualikum wa rahmatullah

    I just want to mention, that the SUNNAH is not to have Janazah prayer or special Duaa for the death of babies, they go straight to Jannah. God willing. As it's the tradition of our religion.

    Here's a quote from www.islam-qa.com:

    A child should be washed and the funeral prayer offered for him according to all the scholars. Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said that there was no dispute concerning this matter. Ibn al-Mundhir narrated that there was consensus among the scholars that a child should be prayed for. See al-Mughni, 3/458.

    When the prayer is offered for a child, there should be no prayer for forgiveness, and it should not be said in the prayer “Allaahumma aghfir lahu (O Allaah forgive him),” because no sins were recorded for him. Rather prayers should be said for forgiveness and mercy for his parents. That is because of the report narrated by Abu Dawood (3180) and al-Tirmidhi (1031) from al-Mugheerah ibn Shu’bah, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The funeral prayer should be offered for him and prayers should be said for forgiveness and mercy for his parents.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Ahkaam al-Janaa’iz, p. 73."

    Some scholars even go to the extent of doing prayer for miscarried foetus. Here's another quote from islam-qa.com:

    The foetus should have been washed, shrouded and prayed for, according to the correct scholarly view, so long as it had reached the age of four months, because of the general meaning of the report narrated by Abu Dawood and al-Tirmidhi from al-Mugheerah ibn Shu’bah (may Allaah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The miscarried foetus should be prayed for.”

    Assalaamu alaikum,

    Although she only lived for 2 months, I'm sure that the sense of happiness Samaah gave to the family was overwhelming. Life is a beautiful thing, but death is a part of that. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.

    May Allah (swt) reunite her parents with her in the highest levels of Jannah. When that happens inshaAllah, the pain of this world will be forgotten.

    Dearest Naila and Hassan,

    Assalaamu alaikum wa rehmatullahi wa barakatuhu wa maghfiratuhu. Inna lillah wa inna ilayhi raji'un. Subhannalllah... your sweet, brave, strong little darling is not in pain anymore.

    Our thoughts and heartfelt dua's are with you and your families at this time and always.

    Much love,

    Faaizah & Kamran & Family

    Naila, Hassan and Family, please accept our deepest sympathies. Try to take comfort in the short time Samaah gave you, and find peace in that her suffering is no more.

    -Soumo for the Mukherjee Family.
