iTunes ChannelDua’ Request for Shaykh Waleed Basyouni’s Son Yousuf
ShareWe just found out that Shaykh Waleed hafidullah has posted some heart-breaking news on the AlMaghrib forums concerning his 4-year old son, Yousuf.
Yousuf was diagnosed with leukemia yesterday. The following from Shaykh Waleed via the Forums. Any videos (as suggested by Shaykh Waleed) can be sent to him via MM email (info at muslimmatters dot org) or link posted on the forum or here. In other words, MM is at Shaykh Waleed’s disposal for this purpose, as Shaykh Waleed is one of our dearest Shayookh in America. May Allah preserve the Shaykh, cure his son Yousuf completely, giving him complete Shifa’ and health. Ameen.
Alhamdulilah ala kuwli haal. Upon my return yesterday, our son Yousuf (4yrs old) was diagnosed with leukemia. I ask Allah The AlMighty, The Most Generous The Lord of the Great Throne to heal him by His Mercy… Healing with which will not leave any sickness behind. He is supposed to get several tests tomorrow so they can figure out what type of leukemia he has. I will update you all, inshaAllah, on his status. I’m sharing this information with you so we can all learn a lesson and take advantage of our health before our sickness because no one knows what might happen to him or to her. May Allah protect us all and cure those who are sick among us.If any of you wish to send a video message to Yousuf to cheer him up it will be appreciated and loved by him!
Umm Yousuf and I have our hands full right now so the forum will be the best way for communication for us right now.
Finally, a special apology to Albuquerque for not being able to make it this weekend for Torch Bearers. I was looking forward to being the first one to teach in this new Qabeelah.

May Allah cure him and make it easy for him and his family. Ameen.
We ask Allah azza wa jal to cure him, purify him and his family and grant them patience through this trial. Ameen.
I had my first AlMaghrib class with Shaykh Waleed,that class had my eman soaring to new heights.
May Allah cure his son and preserve their family during this difficult time. Ameen.
???? ???? ?????? ?? ????? ?????? ?? ?????
I ask Allah, the Magnificent the Lord of the Magnificent Throne, that He cures Yusuf a hasty and quick cure, leaving no traces of sickness behind.
Allahumma Ameen
May Allah cure him completely Inshallah, and may Allah strenghten the resolve of your family. Ameen.
I ask Almighty Allah , Lord of the Magnificent Throne, to make him well and grant him happiness in this dunya. Ameen!
…and akhira! Ameen!
Where can we donate?
Houston also has good hospitals (Texas Medical Center, Anderson Cancer Center), so inshallah Yousuf can recover.
Allah put great love and mercy in our hearts for our children. Allah is the most merciful and most generous. In every situation we have to know that Allah loves our children more than us. In this moment, I pray ALLAH to give shifa to yousuf and cure him completely of the sickness. AMEN.
Allahumma Rabban-Naas, adhhibil-ba’s, ishfi antash-Shaafi laa shifaa’a illa shifaa’uka shifaa’an laa yughaadiru saqama.
(O Allah, Lord of mankind, remove the harm and heal him, for You are the Healer and there is no healing except Your healing, a healing which does not leave behind any disease.)
I pray that Allah ta’ala cures Yusuf’s sickness and blesses him with good health, Ameen. La ilaha illa anta, subhanaka, inni kuntu minazzalimeen
May Allah SWT grant him health and purify him from any sickness he has – Ameen
May Allah ‘azza wa jal give shifa’ and a speedy recovery to Yusuf and grant him the best health insha’Allah. Ameen!
I pray to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala to cure him and make it easy for him and his family. Ameen. I’ve always loved listening to Sh Waleed especially whenever he is visiting our community, i.e. the MCA bay area.
And in general always. he is one of my favorite scholars!
Assalamu Alaykum,
Ameen to all the du’aa. But remember, it’s easy to sit and type a du’aa on a blog – I do it all the time. What would really mean a lot is to remember Yousuf in our du’aa, especially if we are able to pray qiyaam ul-layl, to add him to our du’aa.
May Allah enable us to do this, insha Allah!
Yaa Rabbanaa, Grant a cure for your servant Yusuf, grant him and his family ease and cause them to all remain steadfast in your deen until they meet you in Jannah. And May Allah grant the same for all of us.
Oh Allah (SWT), grant Yousef with good health and a long life. And Allah (SWT) make this trying time easy upon the Sheikh and his son and the rest of his family. Ameen. Surely no family deserves to have to go thru this.
May Allah him shifa quickly. I would if possible like to contact the family. My 5 year daughter was diagnosed with leukemia last August, and we have been undergoing treatment since then.
MashaAllah, the blessings of Allah have been countless since then, and despite having chemotheraphy everyday my daughter leads a normal life attending school etc……
The first month of treatment can be difficult as it is fairly intensive but brings the child into remission and the child loses hair etc, but after that depending on the protocol, the child leads a fairly normal life for the remainder of the treatment.
We have a further 15 months of chemotheraphy left, but Alhamdulillah she is doing fantastically and I have to keep reminding myself that she is being treated for cancer.
Because leukemia is the most common childhood cancer, doctors have been able to develop a very efficient protocol for it. When we stay at the cancer ward and see all the different types of cancer the kids are diagnosed with, SubhanAllah my husband and I cannot thank Allah enough that it is leukemia, as leukemia is the most treatable childhood cancer in this day.
I would say lots and lots and lots of dua and ruqyah on the child, this is what will InshaAllah give him a quick and easy cure.
I am sure the family will be getting lots of support from medical team, but it is alot of information to immediately take in. We have found in Uk the medical team to be very supportive but even then the best type of support was to contact other parents.
I will pray for him and ask my daughter to also.
#Wasalaam
May Allah (subhana wat’ala) continue to heal your daughter as well. Let us all include her as well as young Yousuf in our du’as.
I am really sorry to hear of your news! May Allah give him shifa.
I would really like to give you and your wife reassurance as our 5 year daughter was also diagnosed last August with leukemia. I can understand exactly what you are going through.
But I would like to reassure you that Leukemia is the most treatable childhood cancer of our times. Because so many children develop it, doctors with the mercy of Allah have develop a very efficient protocol for it.
My daughter is on a 2 year and 2 month treatment plan, she has Mashallah completed 10 months so far and has another 16 months to go. What I would like to tell you is that, despite me giving her chemotheraphy every night she MashAllah leads a perfectly normal life. She attends school full days, is reading and writing fluently, participates in all activities. Some days she gets tired and has to take it easy.
Allah has been so merciful that the side effects of the chemotheraphy are minimal. Most days I have to remind myself that she is a child being treated for cancer. This I feel is down to countless duas and ruqyah.
i am not saying its going to be an easy ride, the first month is particularly hard as it is intensive and aims to get child into remission. But after that it does get easy with the help of Allah, to the extent that now most days we forget she is on treatment.
When my husband and I are in the cancer ward with other families, we see all the different types of cancers the kids have. Not all the cancers i.e brain tumours, bone cancers etc have a good prognosis, it is then we truly thank Allah that it is leukemia.
InshaAllah you will get endless support from family, friends and the medical team, but for me the most invaluable support was being able to contact other families who had been through the same thing.
If you wish to at any time, yourself or your wife may contact me.
I will make dua for your son and also ask my daughter to.
wasalaam
Umm Ibraheem
jazakillahkhair Sr. Umm Ibraheem. Your comment was passed on to Sh. Waleed.
Yah Allah!! the hearer of dua,the lord of all mankind, Heal all the children,young and old.Grant us goodness in this duniya and in aakhira.Yah Allah give shifa to yousuf and to Umm Ibraheem`s daughter.Aameen to all the above dua`s.
May Allah cure him and make it easy for his family
May Allah give him complete cure!!
Yusuf or Um yusuf could also read the Quran in tahajjud time…The .”Quran is a cure”…
Surah muzzamil(ayah 4-6)
“Or a little more; and recite the Qur’?n (aloud) in a slow, (pleasant tone and) style “.
” Verily, We shall send down to you a weighty Word (i.e. obligations, legal laws, etc.)”.
“Verily, the rising by night (for Tahajjud prayer) is very hard and most potent and good for governing (the soul), and most suitable for (understanding) the Word (of All?h).”
May Allah cure your son quickly Shaikh and make this trial easy for you and your family…
I will give charity for him.
The Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam, mentioned “Cure your sick with sadaqa.”
May Allah protect him and save him, Ameen.
May Allah make it easy on him and his family. Ameen.
I pray that Allah (swt) gives Yousuf shifa and he becomes the joy and coolness of your eyes!
I pray also that He gives you patience and perseverance through this difficult time.
May Allah cure Umm Ibraheem`s daughter also.
The Prophet (pbuh) said “Whoever Allah wishes good for. He inflicts him with (with hardship)”
I pray Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala grants your son complete shifa that leaves no sickness behind.
May Allah also grant you and your family beautiful patience through this difficult time…Ameen
May Allah (swt) cure him. Ameen!
Shaykh Waleed wrote this on the forums:
May Allah bring Shiffa to your son. May Allah make this test easy on your son, on you (the parents) and on your entire entire family. May Allah bring peace and tranquility to your heart and may He reward you immensely for your patience. Ameen ya Rub!
???? ????? ????? ??????
May Allah give complete Shifaa’ to Yousuf, and may Allah strengthen the family’s resolve. May Allah cure all the sick of the Muslims, Ameen.
InsyaAllah Yousouf will survive. He is still very young. The probability of surviving is a lot higher the younger the patient is. I have a friend whose 9 year old son was also diagnosed with ALL 2.5 years ago. At first we were all pessimistic about the word leukimia. But here he is, almost three years later and almost done with his chemo. Alhamdulillah, we live in a country with advance medical science that would make all all humanly ‘ikhtiar’ possible. With ikhtiar and dua from everyone here, insyaAllah he will make it.
May Allah cure him and keep him in the best state of health and may He give patience and strength to his family to bear this test — AMEEN YA RAB!
This is certainly an eye opener to all of us, May Allah protect us all and let us be thankful for everything He has blessed us with – Ameen!
Thumma Aameen for all those du’as…May Allah grant us all Shifa-e-kuli for all of our physical, social and spiritual problems.
asalaaamu alaakium
The part where sheikh waleed told youssuf hundreds were praying for him really made me emotional I started to tear subhanAllah. May Allah grant the sheikh sabr during this time. May Allah grant Yousuf and all the sick Muslims shifaa, ameen
I had a lengthy conversation with the Shaykh. I thought I’d share some key points for his many well-wishers:
He is very thankful for all the dua’ and messages of support. Hopefully, he’ll have a special email account set up for people can send messages/videos directly soon. Meanwhile, please continue to use the Maghrib forums or if you are not registered, this post for the messages. If you have a video that you don’t want to have publicly displayed, you can email that to us and we’ll send it to him.
The prognosis for Yousuf is good walhamdulilah. His chemo treatment began yesterday, another stop today, and everyone is very optimistic for his recovery, a lengthy process as Sh. Waleed’s comment above indicated.
Yousuf is a brave kid (in addition to being very cute mashallah) and he is doing as well as a kid can be expected to. Of course this is all very difficult and heart-breaking, especially with someone as young as he. But in all affairs of the believers, there is mercy and forgiveness from Allah. Sh. Waleed’s spirit is as strong as ever. He asks for nothing except your prayers and good wishes. My family sent Yousuf a little video and I highly recommend that videos are the best way to give little Yousuf a little cheer. Inshallah, 10 years from now, this all will be only bad memory and those videos will continue to be a reminder of how everyone cared for him.
w/s
Sh Waleed never gives anything less than awsome khutbah, but in context of his child sickness, today’s khutbah was just awsome.
-edited… jazakallah khair… we’ll embed and make a post…
May Allah grant him recovery back to full health and shower your family with His Mercy during these trying times. Ameen.
Our qabeelah video is in production! Yousouf and family we love you for the sake of Allah!
Insha’Allah we, the Knowledge of Tawheed Group at Youtube, are going to make a video for little Yousuf, we’ll post it soon.
I make dua (from Maldives) to Allah (SWT) for a complete cure for Shaykh Waleed Basyouni’s Son Yousuf.
???? ???? ?????? ?? ????? ?????? ?? ?????
Ameen, thumma ameen.
May Allah keep Shaykh Waleed’s family strong and increase them in emaan, taqwa, and sabr, ameen.
Very sad news to hear, I am not a muslim, but for the sake of humanity I will pray to Waheguru/Allah the one ness of God, to cure him. My email: dilshad40@hotmail.com
