Heartbreaking scenes as thirteen-year-old Ismail Mohamed Abdulwahab is buried without his family present, as his mother & siblings self-isolate.The teenager died alone in hospital after testing positive for the coronavirus.
I cannot imagine the heartache & sadness they are feeling. But we are a community of faith. Allah is ar-Rahman in all circumstances. The Prophet Sala Allahu alihi wasSalam said:
"No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, except that Allah expiates some of his sins for it. [Bukhari]
Losing a child is an incredibly difficult experience to go through, but as Muslims we are fortunate to be promised the best reward for our patience. He said Sala Allahu alihi wasSalam:
When a person’s child dies, Allah the Most High asks His angels, ‘Have you taken the life of the child of My slave?’ They reply in the affirmative.
Allah then asks them, ‘Have you taken the fruit of his heart?’ They reply in the affirmative.
Thereupon He asks, ‘What has My slave said?’ The Angels say, ‘He praised you and said ‘Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’oon (To Allah we belong and to Him we will return)’ At that Allah replies, ‘Build a home for my slave in Jannah and call it ‘Bayt-ul-Hamd’ (Home of Praise)’. [Tirmidhi]
