– You know, this is..
this is.. this is the best day of my life, you know.
– And you know we're on the topic of Quran
and I know, you yourself, your kids
but there's also someone very special to you
and I want to show you one thing and I want to get your thoughts on it.
– إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّآ إِلَيْهِ رَٰجِعُونَ
We just lost a very dear brother of ours Khoder Kanj.
I was with him two nights ago, we have performed Umrah in Mekkah,
and he left for Madinah,
spent a day in Madinah, prayed the Thuhr prayer in the Rawdah
directly behind the Imam.
Spent two hours in the Rawdah,
in the worship of Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la,
and towards end of the day he was feeling some pain,
some chest pains,
and when things got really bad,
he laid down surrounded by his family
just at the time of the Maghrib prayer while the athaan was being called,
he laid there making Shahadah and Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la ordered for his life to be taken
in Madinah while the Maghrib athaan was being called,
while making Shahadah, just after perfoming Umrah,
just after spending two hours in the Rawdah,
to be buried in the Baqii with in the guaranteed intercession of Muhammad ﷺ.
What an amazing death!
A death that by Allah I'm green with envy.
And the truth is my brothers and sisters, is that his death is not by luck.
Because I beware witnessed and testified that this brother had worked so hard for it,
and he was so sincere that Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la accepted him
and gave him an honorable death that He has given him.
– Who was that? – That's my brother.
– Can you explain what happened on that day you were there?
Absolutely beautiful brother.
– AlhamduliLlah.
How ever thought, SubhanaLlah.
It's true, you know, we did actually pray in the Rawdah
and then after that we all went our own way,
he went up to his room, his wife and kids were there.
And his family told me this afterwards of course,
they said, "He said you wouldn't believe what happened,
you wouldn't believe what happened.
– You know, this is..
this is.. this is the best day of my life"
He explained the whole story about how we got in
and we made the front row and prayed.
And Subhanallah he passed away just after Maghrib.
Not sad about the death,
how it happened and where it happened,
after 9 months of living and breathing the Quran,
he was in same madrasa in South Africa,
they wouldn't extend his visa,
so he gave me a call and said, "I'm going to come with you to Umrah"
– Spur the moment.
– It was so strange how he didn't get his visa,
it was everything was so strange
but it all made sense afterwards.
We had totally different plans,
he was supposed to get his visa before he left the country.
That way he would have had unlimited time which is what I did.
But Allah said, "No, you will be you spend your last nights
in Mekkah, Medinah"
– And I heard that he hadn't been in Mekkah or Medina for like years 18 years.
– He had only spent Hajj one time 18 years beforehand,
he hadn't been to Lebanon for 20 years approximately
from when he first got married.
He hadn't seen his brother for 12 years and he met him in Lebanon,
he went to Umrah with him.
– That's why he said was my best day, right?
– Yeah, like with your brothers to pray in the Rawdah in the front row,
he said it was it was the best day of his life
and best of his life was the last of his life.
InshaaLlah the best of his life is the life is the day that he meets Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la.
