Reminder To Visit Frequently Visit Others - HajjIbrahimIslam - 11-25-2004


We are so busy here in America we forget to visit others. In countries outside of America they are always just stopping by and visiting one another. It is a shame this is not done in America.


I just wanted to drop a reminder to everyone to continue to visit others and open your home to visitors so they may drop by.


If I had any good hadiths off the top of my head pertaining to this I would add them.

Asalamalaykum HajjIbrahimIslam


This is great advice mashaAllah.


Recently one sister we know lost her 2 year old daughter. I was really shocked to hear about it, felt deeply saddened, especially when I have seen the little girl so healthy and playing and jumping around with my little sisters just 5 days ago when they visited our home and now she'sgone. Ina LiLahi wa ina ILahai Ra'ja'uun.


I haven't yet visited her, but my family visited them, while I was looking after the little ones, am I wrong for not having visited the family? I am a very emotional person, I didn't want to be around the mother I would just add more sorrow.


But still, even if I would have wanted to go, little chances did I have, I had to look after the little children while everyone else went. I was fine, up until a sister i know told me that it doesn't matter whether my family visited or not, I should have visited too. So now I feel guilty.


Jezekelah khayr for the reminder

I d like very much to share my dear sister Radiyah in welcoming u as a new member to our family HajjIbrahimIslam


And what an excellent reminder. Mash a Allah matter of fact the worship of maintain kinship relations is one that is not well observed these days due to many reasons. Busy life, seeking work promotions, staying late at work offices and more.


Nasrah I remember in one thread I did reveal that people around me in real life describe me as a rock and Radiyah disagreed.


May be your story will explain how people see me this way.


For a situation like this, which I went thru with a dear friend of mine about 6 years ago. Moreover the lost girls was so dear to me like a daughter.


If u think about the aspects of the situation, this is a child who did not reach puberity yet. Thus shall not be held accountable. For this I might as well just cry for myself not for the child who Insh a Allah is going to meet the Lord peacfully. Whereas I am still in this life struggling to fear Allah as much as I can, striving to avoid temptations and be close to Allah.


The parents if they maintain patience (Allah Shall call on the angles asking and of course He is the All Knowing did u take the child of my servants they would say yes, He Say did u take the fruit of his heart, just look at the Creator Who truly knows what a child means to parents, they would say yes, Allah Say what did My servant say. Angles would reply he praise u and said inna lilah wa inna elyahyee rajeoun. Allah Say build for my servant a palace in Jannah). For this I always say we all are going, but when one secures such a position we must not feel bad for them on the contrary, be happy that Allah Granted them this. Surely I know that Allah decribed death as a disaster in Quran. But brothers and sisters, taking all such aspects in consideration really mitigates the loss much.


That is why people say I am a rock I rationalize everything.


That was off topic but on the kinship relation issue. The Messenger salla Allah a`layhee wa sallam said what means:


Spread peace, maintain kinship relations, provide food and pray at night while people are asleep you shall enter Jannah in peace.


And also said one who is happy to have an increase in provison and blessed off spring have to maintain kinship relation. Actually the Arabic word the Messenger salla Allah a`layhee wa sallam used here is Sil rahemak. Sil is the opposite of qata`a which is to cut. So sil would be attach or connect. Rahem is the womb. Allah Say I derived your name from Mine so whoever connects u I connect and one who cuts u I cut.


O la ilaha ila Allah may Allah Never cuts us out ameen

Asalamalaykum


Jezekelah khayran Radiyah.


Muslimah


I think I understand where you are coming from mashaAllah. I believe it has much to do with patience and how much Imaan one posesses in order to really stand firm in this type of situation and look at the brighter side. I can openly and honestly say that I would be one of the one who's imaan would be most shackled . Here is actually a hadith that confirms what you said <b>"Your little ones are the larvas (da`aamees) of Paradise. They will meet their parents and grab them by their garments or their hands to no end other than that Allah will enter them Paradise." </b>


Sahih Muslim.


here is another one:


<b>"Whoever of my Community have two forerunners [farataan=children who died early], Allah enters them Paradise." </b>


`A'isha said, Allah be well-pleased with her, "What about a single forerunner?"


The Prophet replied, upon him peace, "And whoever has a single forerunner, you gifted woman!"


She said, "And whoever has none?"


He replied, "I am the forerunner of my Community. They endure no thing greater than my loss."


I cannot imagine a greater trial for any mother to go through than that of losing her own child. Whatever Allah wills happens, but remember RasuLuLah cried when his young son died? He was saddened. I think its only natural to feel sad, not many of us can really smile and say its a blessing that Allah took my child. Even though the truth is, that child can become their means to jennah one day inshaAllah.


May Allah increase our Sabr and Imaan, and ameen to your dua


FeeAmanaAllah

Of course Intuition, we feel sad and cry for the loss of loved ones, and dont presume about yourself anything. Of course I make much dua that u never go thru such test and trial. However, when Allah inflicts one with a test Allah Is Sure that one can take it as in the ayah:


"Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope"


Quran 2:286


and Jazaki Allah khairan for the hadeeth they are so relevant.


Sobhan Allah my friend was sitting so calm that she can not belive herself. She told me Sobhan Allah I sometimes questioned myself isnt this my daughter who is gone?


Of course Radiyah we missed u Alhamdulelah may Allah Allow us all the time and effort to serve Him better.
