Sahih International:For each
one are successive [angels] before and behind him who protect him by the decree
of Allah . Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they
change what is in themselves. And when Allah intends for a people ill, there is
no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron. (13:11)
Shame On You Father!' - True
Story - Sheikh AbdulBary Yahya
It was a night time, when
everybody had gone to sleep. A man gets up, he turns on the TV. All of his
family are deep asleep. And he watches something that's not very...that's not
appropriate. All of a sudden, a door opens and his daughter comes out and she
just barely learned how to talk. She looked at her father, her father tried to
rush to the TV, and the remote to turn off, and she said, 'Shame on you,
father! Shame on you!' and then she went back into her room. And so that man,
after turning off the TV...those words resonated in is head, 'Shame on you,
father! Shame on you!' And tears started coming down his eyes, and he stayed up
until fajr...crying. Then he went to the masjid and he prayed with the
congregation, and he was crying so profusely. Some of the brothers who had not
seen him at fajr prayer, they said, 'Are you okay brother?' He says, 'I'm
okay.' One of his close friends came to him, he says, 'Are you okay?' He's
crying and he says, 'For over 20 years...for 20 years, this was my first sujood
for Allah (subahaanahu wa ta'ala).' Because of his daughter! His daughter came
on and said, 'Shame on you!'
So he went to work that morning,
and of course he was very tired because he didn't get much sleep at night. His
wife tried to call him but she couldn't reach him. He came home and she said,
'Honey, our daughter just passed away.' His daughter passed away. And those
words again came, the last words that she heard were, 'Shame on you, father!
Shame on you!' The whole day...those were her last words, 'Shame on you!' So he
went and he buried her, and he put her in the grave. When he put her in he
smiled, then his friend looked at him and said, 'Why are you smiling?' And he'd
been crying so much, now he puts his daughter in the grave and he smiles. He
says, 'I've buried my daughter, but she left a noor (light) that will remain in
my heart, Allah willing, until the day of judgment.' And from that time on, he
became strong and he kept on going to the masjid. And he changed! Allah took
away something from him, but because of those words from his daughter, he
became good again. For 20 years he didn't even prostrate to Allah (subahaanahu
wa ta'ala). 'Shame on you!' All of us, Allah (subahaanahu wa ta'ala) has given
us a lot of time. To change. To improve ourselves. That's enough, we've been
disobeying Allah (subahaanahu wa ta'ala) for a very long time!
