La hawala wala qowata ila billah
May Allah reward him much, a reward that is adequate to Allah's Graciousness, as much Allah knows how much Deedat fought for Islam. May Allah makes this test in the balance of his and his wife's good deeds, eliminates their sins and elevates them in ranks ameen
A hadeeth qodsi says:
When Allah loves a servant He tests him, and when the servant adopts patience Allah brings him closer.
So we hope INsh a Allah this is a sign for the closeness of Deedat to Allah

really is he still sick ? May Allah be his assistance, and insha'Allah all his pain and suffering will turn into hassanat (alms) and may Allah accept from him and his wife insha'Allah. I will pray for him insha'Allah in my prayers. And i guess that program is old then.
In the name of Allah most Gracious Most Merciful:
155- And certainly, we shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Sabirun(the patient).
156- Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly! To Allah we belong and truly, to him we shall return."
157- They are those on whom are the Salawat(i.e who are blessed and will be forgiven) from their lord, and (they are those who) receive his mercy, and it is they who are the guided ones.
Surrat Al- Baqarah
May Allah ease his pain, and reward him for his pateince insha'Allah.
Wasalam 'alaykomwa rahamat Allah wa barakatuh
