| [slm] And welcome to the AMAZING RACE. Sorry about being late. What with all the pilgrims here for Hajj. Getting anywhere takes alot of time!!! Teams, here is your final clue: [code] To God I make plaint of the kinds of anxieties that rest in the gloom of my innermost heart Because of the loss of shaikhs, leaders of the Faith, masters, and our brothers, companions of goodness and achievement. The death of the beloved Aisha reminded me of those who have passed away from among the wise and pious sisters. My sorrows, my loneliness, and my melancholy increase the flow of tears on my cheeks into torrents. At the loss of the noble Aisha. Oh what a woman! Having all the virtues Of the pious women, humble to their Lord; of the women who have memorized the Quran by heart and who do extra In prayers, alms-giving, then recitation of the Quran defending the unjustly treated, carrying the burdens of many responsiblities She was a guardian of orphans and widows a pillar of the community, ensuring harmony. I am desolate over losing her, for she was my bosm friend, my confidante from our earliest days This is no surprise; the love we had for each other came to us from our fathers before us; it was not short-lived. God of Heaven, judge her with pure forgivenss and make room for a grave in perpetual light. On the Day of Judgement, preserve her from all that is feared, from everything terrfiying on that day. And place her in Paradise with our Shaikh, her father and her husband in the heavenly abodes. Protect all of her descendants from the evils of their enemies from every tribe From the evil of Satan, from the jinn that fights and from every evil thing, secretive and assailing. I shed tears for them but that is in this earthly world; in matters of religion our Lord is for them the good protector Blessings and protection upon the Best One, Muhammad who hastened to inform us of all messages from our Lord And upon his family, his companions, and his followers from our community, which is thriving with God's permission When he announced the sign of the times by the hijra, the Prophet served as your messenger of good tidings Completed with peace in the year 1272. [/code] The author of this poem embodied the ideals she wrote about Aisha, in her life and her community. Travel to her land, who was she? |

I am, nonetheless, satisfied by the blessings from him Praise be to my Lord who has bestowed upon me Abundant kindness and favors May Allah compenstate us for the loss of goodness On the honor of the Prophet and his sacredness May the blessing of Allah and the purest peace Rest upon the best of mankind, and His Mercy, Also on his descendants, his companions and following generation And followers of the followers of his Sunnah.
