In Sujuud, She Died

After performing Salaat Al Maghrib, she put her make-up, wore her beautiful white dress preparing herself for her wedding party. Then she heard the Adhan of ‘Ishaa and she realized that she broke her Wudu (ablution).

She told her mother: “Mother, I have to go make Wudu and pray Ishaa”.

Her mother was shocked: “Are you crazy?!! Guests are waiting to see you! What about your make-up? It will be all washed away by water!”

Then she added: “I am your mother and I order you not to perform Salaat now! Wallaahi if you make Wudu (ablution) now, I will be angry at you!”

Her daughter replied: “Wallaahi, I won’t go out from here till I perform my Salah! Mother you must know that, “There is no obedience to any creature in disobedience to the Creator!!”

Her mother said: “What would our guests say about you when you’ll show up in your wedding party without make-up? You won’t be beautiful in their eyes and they will make fun of you”.

The daughter asked with a smile: “Are you worried because I won’t be beautiful in the eyes of creations? What about my Creator? I am worried because, if I miss my Salah, I won’t be beautiful in His (Allaah) eyes”.

She started to make Wudu and all her make-up was washed away, but she didn’t care. Then she began her Salah and at the moment she bowed down to make Sujuud (prostration), she didn’t realize that it will be her last one.

“Yes! She died while in Sujuud!”

What a great ending for a Muslimah who insisted on obeying her Lord! She put Him and His obedience first in her priorities, so He (Allaah) granted her the best ending and took her soul in the place where Muslims are the closest to Him. Glory be to Allaah!!!
