Death

Umm Habiba (Ramla Bint Abi Sofyanwas) was married to Abdullah Ibn Jahsh who migrated with her to Habasha Abisonia,  then died there. After her Iddah, the Prophet (SAWA) sent a proposal to her. As  a daughter of Abu Sofyan who was a big enemy of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and sister of Mo’awiya ibn Abi Sofyan who was the enemy of Imam Ali (AS). I could not find any praise for her in our books like praise for wives like Umm Salamah or Mariah Umm Ebraheem. If she really celebrated the death of Mohammad Ibn Abi Bakr, who was a sincere follower of Ameerul Mo;mineen Ali (AS), that should be enough for us to know her association with her brother Mo’awiya.

Allah Knows the best.

Wassalam.

Every embryo of a Muslim parents perish in womb, will be in Paradise waiting for his parents. This is according to narrations from the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS).

According to narrations, deceased soul can come to his house and family once a year, or once a month or weekly, depending on his degree. If he sees his family doing good deeds, he will be happy and if he sees them in bad situation, he will be sad. (Biharul Anwar V.6, page 257).

Supporting your daughter through the loss of her friends can be challenging, but your presence and understanding can make a significant difference. Here are some ways you can help her cope and process her feelings:

1. **Create a Safe Space for Expression**: Encourage her to share her feelings about her friends and their deaths. Let her know that it's okay to feel sad, angry, confused, or even guilty. Listen actively without judgment, and validate her emotions.

2. **Encourage Open Conversations**: Discuss the circumstances surrounding her friends' deaths if she is comfortable. Help her understand that sometimes, life can be unpredictable and bitter. Be honest, but also sensitive to her emotional state.

3. **Share Your Own Feelings**: Let her know that you also feel sad about the loss. Sharing your own emotions can help her feel less isolated in her grief.

4. **Seek Professional Support**: If she is struggling significantly, consider suggesting that she speak with a therapist or counselor who specializes in grief. Professional support can provide her with coping strategies and a safe space to process her feelings.

5. **Encourage Healthy Coping Mechanisms**: Help her find ways to cope with her grief, such as journaling, creating art, or engaging in physical activities. Encourage her to express her feelings in ways that feel comfortable to her.

6. **Honor Their Memory**: Suggest ways to remember her friends, such as reciting Fatiha , arranging a Majlis, initiating a noble cause work, creating a memory book, planting a tree, or participating in a charity event in their honor. This can provide a sense of purpose and connection.

7. **Be Patient**: Grieving is a process that takes time. Be patient with her as she navigates her feelings, and check in regularly to see how she’s doing.

8. **Encourage Connection with Others**: Help her connect with other friends or family members who may also be grieving. Shared experiences can foster support and understanding.

9. **Educate About Grief**: Share resources about grief and loss, such as books or articles that discuss the grieving process. Understanding that her feelings are normal can be comforting.

10. **Promote Self-Care**: Encourage her to take care of herself physically and emotionally. This includes getting enough sleep, eating well, and engaging in activities that bring her joy.

11. **Be There for the Long Haul**: Grief doesn’t have a set timeline. Continue to check in with her and offer support as she navigates her feelings over time.

Remember, your role is to support her and provide a loving presence as she processes her grief. Your understanding and compassion can help her feel less alone during this difficult time.

We always take lessons from the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS) who faced the most difficult situations yet had practiced the best regency and patience. We as their followers need take practical steps on the same line of faith and obedience.

The desire to leave this life should never be because of losing hope from the Mercy of Allah (SWT) as it us one of major sins which leads to hellfire. We always need to trust and hope The Great Mercy of Allah and never feel hopeless no matter what difficulties we face or fear to face.

We have in the Hadeeth that if someone is very tired in this life and wishes to leave it, he should pray saying : O Allah, keep me in this life as far as remains in this life is good for me, or take me from this life whenever You Know that leaving this life is better for me.
