The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said: two favours (of Allah) are forgotten by many people: health and fursat (free time).
This is a true story with pictures.
It may change your life, way of thinking and aims in life. (bi’idnillah)
It is a story of a person from Bahrain named Ibrahim Nasser. He has been paralyzed completely since birth and can only move his head and fingers.
Even his breathing is done with the help of instruments
It was the wish of this young man to meet sheik Nabeel Al-Awdi. So Ibrahim’s father spoke the sheik on the phone in order to arrange a visit to Ibrahim.
The moment sheik Nabeel entered Ibrahim’s room
And this is Ibrahim’s expression on meeting sheik Nabeel
Notice the breathing instrument around Ibrahim’s neck.. he is unable to even breath normally.
..sheik Nabeel and Ibrahim started talking about da’wa on the internet and the striving it requires.
....during their conversation sheik Nabeel asked Ibrahim a question. A question that made Ibrahim weep… and tears rolled down Ibrahim’s cheek.
Well, do you know what question it was that made Ibrahim weep?
The sheik asked: Oh Ibrahim.. if Allah had given you health.. what would you have done?
And thus Ibrahim wept bitterly and he made the sheik, his father, his uncle and everyone in the room weep.. even the camera man wept.
And his answer was: By Allah I would have performed my salah (prayer) in the masjid with joy.. I would have used the favor of health in everything that would please Allah Subhanehu we Ta’ala.
Dear Brothers and Sisters Allah has favored us with agility and health!
But we do not perform our Salaah in the Masjid!!! And we sit for hours in front of the computer or TV, watching all these un-Islamic films and programs! SubhanAllah
May Allah guide us to the right path, ameen!
