The Last Days of the Last Prophet of God

 by நாகூர் ரூமி
The thing that is the most common among all the Prophets of God and His Saints is that they all know time of their passing away from this world. I have written in detail about this in my article entitled ‘The Common Characteristics of Saints’.

When this is the case with all the Saints, will not the Final Messenger of God know about it? He did know about it even a year before his demise. When he sent his Companion Muadh Ibn Jabal to Yemen as Governor, he gave him some advices and asked him to abide by them for, he said, when he returns from Yemen the next year, he will not be alive! He could have known it even before a year. And we do have many clues to this fact in his life.

இறுதித் திருநபியின் இறுதி நாட்கள்It is at this juncture that I got a Tamil book entitled இறுதித்திருநபியின் இறுதி நாட்கள் (The Last Days of the Last Holy Prophet) available from archive.org. Many of the biographies of the Prophet do describe his last days in them in some detail. But I have not come across an entire book dedicated to his demise alone.

Immediately I downloaded the book and read it from the first page to the last. Many wonderful and hair-rising incidents have been descried in it regarding the demise of the beloved Prophet. It was authored by one late M.S. Muhammadu Thambi. The famous author M.R.M. Abur-Rahim has given a foreword also to it.

Some of the indications from his life that Prophet Muhammad would leave this world soon:

Don’t be Depressed? Allah is with You

by Dina Mohamed Basiony

Before  we start discussing anything, let us just say that if you’re someone who is going through some sort of depression and you still decided to read this article, then you must know how strong you are! It is not a small deal that you still have the power to look for answers, it is not a small deal that you still have the power to look for help, meaning, healing, light and peace. It is not a small deal, and it will not go unnoticed by Allah. Not a single minute you spend in difficulty will go unnoticed or unrewarded. That’s His promise to us all.

“Never a believer is stricken with a discomfort, an illness, an anxiety, a grief or mental worry or even the pricking of a thorn but Allah will expiate his sins on account of his patience.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

There will be relief for you here before the hereafter, and you will see that if you remain steadfast on your faith and trust Allah (subhanahu wa ta’la).
Allah says:
“…and despair not of relief from Allah. Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people.” (Qur’an 12: 87)

You know this verse is mentioned in the Chapter that narrates one of the best human stories; the story of Prophet Yusuf (peace be upon him).

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) made his famous statement, “don’t be sad, Allah is with us” to Abu Bakr to calm him. A similar statement was made by Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) when he reassured his people of Allah’s support, even when all hope seems lost. It’s a statement that gets to the core belief that no one can save you from harm. Only Allah can protect you.


Online Friday Prayer During Pandemic

The majority of Muslim scholars have wisely ruled to suspend all congregational events to protect all communities.

But holding Friday sermons and prayers online has become a debatable issue among Muslims in the Western countries where Muslim minority communities may feel more isolated due to the extended lockdowns that have restricted public assemblies.

Muslim scholars in America and Europe have relied primarily on the opinions of earlier scholars on this sensitive issue. Quoting several of them, these scholars say that an unreasonable gap in between the lines breaks congregational prayers (Jamaa) and concluding that there is no Jumah with many households praying miles apart. In their opinion, people watching and listening to the sermon cannot offer two units of Friday prayers, instead, they should observe noon Zuhr prayers.
