وَبَشِّرِ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ (١٥٥) ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَآ أَصَـٰبَتۡهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ۬ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّآ إِلَيۡهِ رَٲجِعُونَ
"Give glad tidings to the steadfast, (155) Who say, when a misfortune striketh them: Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning." (156)
Surah Al-Baqara 155-156
Dear Brother and Sisters, Asalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu.
The mother of our dear Brother Aarif Majedi passed away in Pakistan just an hour ago. We urge you to make Du'a for her that Allah Subhanahu Wata'aala shower her with mercy and forgiveness and count her of the pious believers.
Brother Aarif is currently in Pakistan and we ask Allah Subhanau Wataala to grant him and his family the patience to overcome such a calamity.
Wasalamu Alaikum

Some Humble Reminders
Almighty Allah says in Surah Al-Baqarah (155-157):"But give glad tidings to the patient. Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: 'Truly, to Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return.' They are those on whom are the prayers from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive His mercy, and it is they who are the guided ones".
Du'as from the holy Qur'an:
http://picasaweb.google.com/4U2Seee/DuasFromHolyQurAn
Hadith: Abu Hurayrah (ra) reported that Allah's Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said: "A Muslim has five rights upon other Muslims: Responding to his Salam, Answering his invitation (to food), Making Tashmeet when he sneezes, Visiting him when he is sick, and Following his Janazah when he dies." (Bukhari and Muslim).
Hadith: Allah's Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said: "Whoever attends the Janazah until it is finished, will earn one Qirat, and who ever stays until the burial, will earn two Qirats. Someone asked: What a Qirat means? The Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) answered:' It means rewards as big as a great mountain" (Bukhari & Muslim).
Hadith: On the authority of Suhaib, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported as having said: "How wonderful is the affair of the believer, for his affair is all good, and this applies to no one except the believer. If something good happens to him, he gives thanks and that is good for him, and if something bad happens to him, he bears it with patience, and he will be rewarded for that, so everything that Allah has decreed for the Muslim is good" (Muslim).
Hadith: According to an authentic hadith: "The greatest reward comes with the greatest trial. When Allah loves a people He tests them. Whoever accepts that wins His pleasure but whoever is discontent with that earns His wrath" (At-Tirmidhi).
Al-Hasan Al-Basri (may Allah bless his soul) said, "Do not hate the trials that befall you or the calamities that happen to you, for they may be something that you hate but it leads you to salvation, and there may be something that you love, but it brings to you your doom."
