My name is Sultana and i met nabeeha through her cousin who was my friend since were were 13 going to high school together. Anyway, nabeeha was there for me showing me islaam through her example as sisShalima said and she never left my side. We spent soo much time together and her life was dawah not just her words. I was fortunate to know her, to be loved by her and to be chosen by her as a companion and sister in islaam. Sad to say there are no sisters like her today that ive met. Nabeeha stuc like glue, and thats what i loved most. In her last years we grew distant. Myself and shaytaan to blame, but contrary to what ppl thought,i never stopped loving her and i always remembered EVERYTHING with her. Till today, i was telling my husband, there ist a day that goes by that i dont think of nabeeha and wish i could hear her voice again. Allaahknows i wish to be reunited with her in jannah Ameen. May Allaah forgive her and me, make her grave spacious, bright with nur and fill it with the scent of jannah, and may He raise her and her fam and me and my fam to jannatul firdous Ameen!!

Every time I read a story like this, I am reminded that it's not just the "people of the past" in the Seerah texts who were amazing Muslims. We recount the history of early generations of Muslims with feelings of "where are the muslims like THAT today?" (not denying the special place of the Sahabah of course) And then we realize, if we talk to enough people, that they are all around us. But because their stories aren't part of "history in the making" we don't hear about it. And this piece is a beautiful example and reminder that the awliya of Allah are many, may Allah grant us all Jannatul Firdous and to be amongst them. When I recently watched this long uncut video if the turkish ship in the flotilla, I was in tears, because I watched as a few men on a ship, a SHIP, were praying qiyam al-layl, and then it showed the athan at fajr - over the ocean (just the fact it was on the ocean made me feel wow... that would be a new experience for me) and then watched as they prayed fajr. And with all their du'a, soon after, came such a great test from Allah, because it's not long before the opposing ships arrived and began shooting at this ship. A ship that was floating with people having just sat making thikr of Allah,...then men bleeding, reciting the shahadah, and then passing away. Anyhow... I appreciate that the sheikh reminded us of purifying intentions before sharing the beginning of this story, but I am also grateful that this story was shared,. May Allah have mercy on Nabiha and her family, and grant them Jannatul Firdous. Ameen. Bismillah

Thank you for posting this. Every time I read a story like this, I am reminded
that it’s not just the “people of the past” in the Seerah texts who were amazing
Muslims. We recount the history of early generations of Muslims with feelings of
“where are the muslims like THAT today?” (not denying the special place of the
Sahabah of course)

And then we realize, if we talk to enough people, that they are all around us. But
because their stories aren’t part of “history in the making” we don’t hear about it.
And this piece is a beautiful example and reminder that the awliya of Allah are
many, may Allah grant us all Jannatul Firdous and to be amongst them.

When I recently watched this long uncut video if the turkish ship in the flotilla,
I was in tears, because I watched as a few men on a ship, a SHIP, were praying
qiyam al-layl, and then it showed the athan at fajr – over the ocean (just the fact it
was on the ocean made me feel wow… that would be a new experience for me)
and then watched as they prayed fajr. And with all their du’a, soon after, came such
a great test from Allah, because it’s not long before the opposing ships arrived
and began shooting at this ship. A ship that was floating with people having just
sat making thikr of Allah,…then men bleeding, reciting the shahadah, and then
passing away.

Anyhow… I appreciate that the sheikh reminded us of purifying intentions before
sharing the beginning of this story, but I am also grateful that this story was shared,.

May Allah have mercy on Nabiha and her family, and grant them Jannatul Firdous. Ameen.
