Dua’ Request for Shaykh Waleed Basyouni’s Son Yousuf
We 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 Allāh preserve the Shaykh, cure his son Yousuf completely, giving him complete Shifa' and health. Āmīn.
Alhamdulilah ala kuwli haal. Upon my return yesterday, our son Yousuf (4yrs old) was diagnosed with leukemia. I ask Allāh 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, inshā'Allāh, 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 Allāh 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.
