CONDOLENCE
.
The following letter of condolence was sent by the Prophet Muhammad (sallal-Laahu Alayhe Wasallam) to a Sahabah (Radheyal Laahu Anhu).
.
Insha Allah whoever lost loved ones will find some comfort in this beautiful letter.
.
As to the sending of condolences after the death of a loved one, here is a letter which was written (dictated) by the Prophet Muhammad (Sallal-Laahu Alayhe Wasallam) to a very close friend (M'uadh bin Jabal Radheyal Laahu Anhu).
.
M'uadh (Radheyal Laahu Anhu) was an esteemed Companion of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) who embraced Islam at the young age of 18.
He belonged to the Ansar.
The Holy Prophet (PBUH) sent him to educate the Muslims in Yemen and while there, his son died. On that occasion the Holy Prophet (PBUH) sent him this letter of condolence, exhorting him to bear the loss patiently:
.
BisMilla hir-ra7ma nir-ra7eem
I begin in the Name of Allah,Most Kind,Most Merciful.
From Muhammad, Allah's Messenger to Mu'az- Ibn-Jabal.
.
May the peace of Allah be on you.
l praise Allah before you,the One besides whom there is none worthy of worship.
After praising and glorifying Allah, (I say the following.)
.
May Allah give you great reward and may He guide you to exercise patient endurance and may He (also) guide us and you to be grateful to Him.
.
Surely, our souls, wealth and families are wonderful gifts from Allah Azza Wajalla which He has loaned to us so that we may take benefit from them for a set period;
and he takes them away after the termination of that period.
Thus, gratitude becomes binding on us when He gives, and patience becomes obligatory when He takes away.
.
Your son was also from among the wonderful gifts (of Allah) and a loan (from Him) AIlah enabled you to enjoy him in a way that was both enviable (to others) and pleasing (to you);
and now, in return for great reward, mercy and forgiveness, providing you exercise patience- he has taken him away from you.
So do exercise patience and do not let your bewailing and complaining destroy your reward, for you will be sorry (if this happens)
.
Know that bewailing and complaining does not help bring back anything nor does it repel grief and sorrow.
And whatever is to happen is set to happen.
.
May you be in peace.
