The story of Bara'ah:

This story is of a little girl named Bar`ah who is 10 years old, her parents were doctors who moved to
Saudi Arabia in search of better life.
In this age Bar`ah memorized the whole quran with the tajweed, she was very intelligent, her teacher
use to tell her she should be in middle school not primary one....

Her family is small and committed to Islam and its teaching.... suddenly one day the mother started
feeling sever abdominal pain, after tests and checkups she found out that she have cancer, but in its
late stages.
The mother thought who she can tell her daughter, specially if she wake up one day and didn't find
her mother beside her... so she told her (( Bar`ah I will go to pradise a head of you, but I want you to
read the Quran you memorized every day since it will protect you in this life))...
The little girl didn't really
understand what her mother is trying to tell her...but she started feeling the change in her mother
status specially when she was transferred to stay in hospital on permanent bases. The little girl use to
come to the hospital after her school and recited Quran for her mother till evening when her father use
to take her home.

One day the hospital called the husband and informed him that the his wife condition is very bad and
he need to come as fast as he can, so the father picked Bar`ah from her school and headed to the
hospital, when they arrived he asked her to stay in the car ... just she wont get shocked if her mother
has passed a way.

The father get out of his car, with tears fills his eyes and while he crossing the road to enter the
hospital, he was hit by a speeding and died in front of hi daughter who came crying to her father....!

The tragedy of Bar`ah is not over yet... the news of father death was hidden from the mother,
but after 5 days the mother passe a way ! leaving Bar`ah alone in this life. She become alone without
her parents, and parents friends decided to find her relatives in Egypt so they can take her to them..

Suddenlly, Bar`ah start having sever pain like her mother, after few tests and check up it was
confirmed with the cancer... at the surprise of every one she said (( Alhamdu Lillah now I will meet my
parents ))

All family friends were shocked and suprised, this little girl facing calamity after clamity and she is
patient and satisfied with what Allah ordained for her.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST BLESSING WE HAVE:
Be aware that Allah swt forbids disbelievers from entering paradise. It becomes apparent to us that
the biggest blessing (from Allah swt to us) is the blessing of AL-ISLAM. And when Allah swt desires
good for his slave he is made to die upon islam.
Our prophet pbuh once asked Allah swt Ya Allah muqadimmal quloob...thabbit qalbi 3ala deenik
'O lord changer of the hearts, fasten our hearts upon your deen
And the prophet pbuh has informed us that one of the signs at the end of time is a person wakes up
a muslim and disbelieves on the evening, or he is a disbeliever in the morning and becomes believer
at night.
we clearly see around this happening today. But Allah swt when loves a slave will call him to die
upon ISLAM and everything that is taken away from us will be replaced (in one way or another)
except the deen (there is no replacement) .
And when ALLAH swt loves you He will seal for you your death to be upon islam
in order for one to die upon islam HAVE delight in your heart when you worship Allah swt
how do you know youre upon islam? It is when you feel delighted when youre obeying Allah swt
and NEVER! perform an act of worship just to get it done and over with but perform it as an act to
bring onself closer to Allah swt
Allah swt will never be affceted by the disobedience of his slave, but you will be the ine to suffer due
to your disobedience
and dying upon islam in any condition is better than dying in disbelief
as it was mentioned in the supplicatitiono of some of the pious..... Allahuma innee ee7oobuk wa ya
kuntoo 3a'siyak...Oh lord I love you even upon my disobedience for you
sahabah 3mru ibn 3as, said before his death Oh Allah I am not one free of sins, thus i seek your
forgiveness and i am not one strong in obedience thus i seek your aid and there is no aid expecpt
with the aid and might of Allah
and when it has been established by Allah that you have prayed fajr have joy in the fact that He
woke you up from your bed, by the grace of Allah He woke up from your bed and caused you to
stand for Him
we hope to be those who Allah swt desires good for them and are fasten and made to die upon the
deen and there are no joy and happiness bigger than the joy of a slave of Allah swt towards islam
and as we all know it is upon the slave of Allah to praise Him for making him amongst muslimeen
most of us with the grace of Allah swt were born muslims Allah gave us islam without even asking for
it and so we hope Allah will grant us paradise when we ask Him for it
