The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him.
Sunan Ibn Majah 237
Asalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu.
My mother,
After Allah(swt) and rasool (sas), Allah(swt) guides us to give our love, respect and honour to our mother, then again mother, and again mother.
Subhanallah, life and death teaches us the true wisdom and beauty behind this perfect guidance.
My mother: the women who in her youth, in her beauty intact, in her naiveness toward the hardships of the world - became widowed with 7 children including 3 babies and left to pick up the pieces without notice.
My mother: who alone raised us against all trials with the most warm wishes and deepest duahs - who focused fiercely with warrior efforts to direct us on the straight and narrow path
My mother: who even after being struck with ill health in addition to losing her eyesight, continued to be the ultimate teacher for us on beautiful sabr.
My mother has now returned to Allah (swt) leaving behind me and my siblings as her sadaqah jaariya. We can never live up to being worthy of how much she was and is for us but we are requesting for your support in helping us to be the best sadaqaah jaariya we can be for her:
Please help us with our cause to increase Allah’s mercy on her. No amount is too small.
My mum has always been a gift to us; please allow her to be a gift for you by using her for your akhira.
May the tiniest sincere duah you make for my mother be a means of your mercy tenfold. May any penny you contribute for the sake of my mother’s akhira hold the weight of mountains for your akhira.
On behalf of our beloved mother, we would like to build a deep tube water well in Bangladesh for £3,000 to support needy families and leave a on going charity that will continue to reward all involved.
Walaikum salaam.
Sa’d ibn ‘Ubadah (ra) said, I asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah (pbuh), what charity is best?’ He replied, ‘Providing drinking water.’
