Assalaamu alaikum G-L Innaa lilaahi wa inna ilayhi raaji`oon. Allaahumma ajurnaa fi museebatinaa wakhluf lanaa khayran minha. To Allah we belong and to him is our ultimate return. We ask for recompense us for our affliction and replace it for us with something better. We also ask Allah to Shower them with His Mercy and grant them forgiveness .....Ameen!!!!! Praise due to Allah! to Him and He alone!!!!! Thank you bro. Sheikh Tejan Nyang for coming with the Obituary announcements on the List. Keep up the good work,this is another way of Jihad also. May The Almighty Allah! GIVE you longlife, goodhealth and progress.....Ameen!!!!! This is a very sad news to hear,Uncle Kebba was a good man, all the people who know`s him will never forget him. For our beloved wife,sister also, she was a good wife and a good sister also, as you mention she was very faithful. May their Souls Rest in Perfect Peace.....Ameen!!!!! My sincere condonlence to the entire family ,friends and all the Gambians. As we all know: DEATH IS THE REALITY OF THIS WORLD..... May The Almighty Allah! be Marciful to us! "Be aware of your negligence and awaken yourselves from slumbering before such time when a noise is heard that such a person has fallen ill; that his/her condition is precarious; that the physicians; have been called inn. The physicians and doctors will no doubt be called for you, but no one will give you the guarantee of life. Then there will be cry that he/she is making well. Your voice becomes inaudible. Now you will not recognized any one. You started panting for breath. Your groaning (expressing pain) has increased, the eyelashes are drooping. This will be the moment when you will become well aware of the Hereafter, but, your tongue would falter and relatives, standing there, will be weeping. Now, there appears before you, your family. But the tongue has become speechless. In the meanwhile, every part of your body will start becoming lifeless and at last, you will breath your last and your soul will reach the heaven. Your kith and kin will make arrangements for your immediate burial. This visitors would observe silence after lamentation. Your enemies would rejoice. Your relatives would be absorbed in dividing the goods left behing by you, while you are held accountable for your deeds. This is the reallity of our mortal life. Holy Qur `aan: "He who has created death and life that He might test which of you is best in conduct. He is the Mighty, the Most forgiving". It is clear that practical struggle entails a purpose and an ideal. The purpose and the ideal serve as motivating drives. The actions of the struggling individuals are determined and evaluated in terms of their conformity or non-coformity to the ideal. This evaluation furnishes an explicit evidence of the performance and success of the individual. Life is a struggle for the acquistion (aquire) of this purpose and death is the natural climax of this struggle. But keep on exhorting: for exhorting benefits the believers. Allah Created men and ginns that they may worship Him. He desire no financial support from any one, nor do He desire that we should feed Him. Allah(SWT)! Says this in the Holy Qur `aan: and this verse has expressed the object of human life and the purpose of his Creation with remarkkable clarity. It is quite clear from the verse that the creation of human beings does not serve divine interest, because Allah! is absolutely independent of human limitations: He is beyond human cravings and desires. "Allah wills and it is done": there is no gap between His wish and its fulfilment: His wish, infact, is fulfilment. He does not need human help and asistance in any form or shape because He is absolutely SELF-SUFFICIENCET. Allah (SWT)! Declear in the Holy Qur `aan: "Surely, it is Allah who is the great sustainer, the Lord of power, the strong". The role of man is passive. "Allah! is the only agent of all forms of creation and no other agent has created Him". "O people We will show you our signs within the Universe and then within your own mines. So that you may know clearly with any shadow of douth that "Hach" is Allah! He is the ultimate reality and you will find the ultimate reality. O Allah! we ask You! to make us thankful for Your! fovour, to be of good service to You! and grant us a sound heart and a truthful tongue. we ask You! to grant us what You! know to be good and to give us refuge from what is evil and to forgive us and You! are the knower of the Unseen. O Allah! Inspire us with good conduct and save us from the evil of our selfishness. Clear us in Your! presence of ascribing partners to You! and of infidelity and pray unto Your Sincerely to obtain Your! answer and render obedience to Your! hoping for Your! reward.....Ameen!!!!! Allahummasalli alaa saidina Muhammadin wa alaa alli Muhammadin.
