Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
My mother , aged only 59 passed away on 31/05/06 after spending two long months in hopsital.
Ammi's death, especially the moment when she took her last breath is something that I will never forget. Her death has made me realise how short and transient life is and how I personally need to reaccess my priorities in life and this includes becomming closer and familiar with my deen.
Even though I come from a practising family, I would not consider myself as practising. I feel I need to and the death of my late mother has highlighted this.
The thing is, I dont know where to to start. All my friends are non-practising or non-muslim and I need to meet new people and make new friends , hence why i signed up to islam786.
I would appreciate it if anyone could assist me or let me know of any islamic circles/religious study groups held in nw london so that i can join and learn about islam and perfect my koran/namaz and overall lifestyle.

jazak allah for your kind words. yes mother's are very special.
just that i felt very helpless, all i could do was pray for her. i was told that one should read yasin shareef and kalima to a dying person and thats what i did.
just that never in my life had i read yasin shareef with meaning and never actually sat down to understand what it meant and how poweful it is especially when read to a dying person.
the night my ammi passed away she was semi-unconscious, but she was able to hear me. i kept reading the yasin to her and then literally the last time i read it to her was with the meaning and that was when she came to and acknoweldged my presence and was able to take her last breath. It was really emotional as i was with her at the hospital continuously for 24 hrs reading the yasin over and over again. She eventuallly passed away at fajar just as the new day was begining and the sound of the early birds chirpping could be heard.

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa BarakatuhuInna lilahi wa ina ilaihi rajiun Very sorry to hear about your mother Ahmad F. But you did the right thing and pray for her which is the main thing. Every thing has a heart, and the heart of Qur'an sharif is surah Yasin. Your mother inshallah will be blessed by your continuous prayers. Which masjid do you go to in London brother, are their no weekly classes ? This link might also help in some areas www.islam786.org/fatehafuneralrites.htmTake care brother.

Ameen. I am pleased that you have decided to practice your religion Brother, Being that I live in New Zealand I can't offer any suggestions as to where you can go to gain knowledge but I'm sure someone here will be able to. As the others have said this site is a great source of knowledge and I'm sure we can all learn from each other. Fi Amanillah

I feel for you in your loss brother, and my deepest condolences go out to you and your family and May Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) through the wasila of Our beloved Prophet Sayedina Muhammad (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) grant your mother a high place in paradise and give you all sabr. The best gift a child can give to there parents is prayers and Dua.
The following tasbi was given to read to us, recently By our Pir O murshid's khalifa Arbi Mia, Shaykh al Islam, recommends this tasbih for our loved ones who have left this world, Insha Allah you pray for your dear mother, and give bakshish to her and the gates of heaven will open for her. Ameen.
125.000 times the first kalimah, it has so much benefits and rewards especially for marhoom.
You seek knowledge and advice on Islam, brother this website as well as good books are a great help, and also in time doing bait with a Pir will also help you in your quest for guidance and knowledge. Beware of wahabbi and deoband books and literature and websites, any questions about Islam and anything else please do post and the resident imam will also help you, as well as admin the moderators and members of this website.

Sorry to hear about your loss bro, Allah grant your mother Janaah and you and your family Sabr Ameen
Surah Yaseen is the heart of the Quran .
When asked what our Prophet, Muhammad Mustafa (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) was, Ayesha (Radi Allahu anha) answered: "He is the Quran "
You prayed this to your mother for your mother, so it is as if she was praying it. Each word you said sat on her heart, and every word you said was the heart of the Quran , which is the the heart of the Beloved Muhammad (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) . The heart of the Master (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) was on her heart, of course your mother found peace.
Allah bless you, and His Mercy far exceeds His wrath, that Mercy must have been with your mother for her to be with her child and be listening to this most blessed Surah.
I ask everyone who reads this to pray one Surah Fatiha (Allhumdu Shareef ... Allhumdulilahi Rabbil Alameen ...) , and i pray to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) that he grants the blessing of this Fatiha to this mother , and that those blessings be as they were when this Surah was revealed to Muhammad (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) Ameen
( also, one kalima said sincerly is better than the whole world and everything in it... Allah will accept it. )

Dearest Brother Ahmad, May Allah The Most Gracious by the Blessings of His Most Beloved Messenger grant your dear Mother the highest station in Paradise and grant you and all your family and relatives patience and endurance.
Though you are going through a most testing and sad phase of your life i would like to say that you have a lot to be thankful for to Almighty Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala), for you were lucky enough to be by your mothers side during her last breaths and recite chapters of the Noble Qur'an. However not many people get such an honour. If we ask all those people who have lost their mothers, the majority will say their biggest regret is not being at their loved ones side during their demise. As we pray for you and your mother we ask you during this painful time to remember us and our mothers in your prayers as well.
May Allah the Most Merciful by the Mercy of His Most Merciful Prophet whom He sent as the Mercy for all Mankind have Mercy upon us all and our Mothers. May those who have left this world be granted a place in Paradise and those who remain to be given a long healthy life. And may we all as brother Ahmad, have the opportunity to serve our mothers up to their last days, for disowning or causing grief and despair to ones mother is to cause grief to Allah and His Messenger, peace be upon him.

As-salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmahtullahi Wa barakatuhu, Dear Brother, Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajeoun. May Allah ta'ala grant your dear mother the cool breeze of Jannahtul firdous and may He grant you and your family sabr and strength, amin. I was told to always make dua when remembering my late father [may Allah ta'ala grant him a place in Jannahtul firdous, amin] and ofcourse to give sadaqah/charity or do good deeds that would benefit them, insha Allah. May Allah ta'ala grant us the strength to fulfil these and benefit our parents after their departure, amin. Alhamdullillah we continue the khatm on Thursday's that my father would read. You can find more information on this website under this: www.islam786.org/fatehafuneralrites.htmFor yourself it would be good to attend talks and events that take place throughout the country with Shuyukh from the Ahl ul-Sunna wa-l-Jama'ah. The advice given above by brothers and sisters is also useful, alhamdulillah. There is Shaykh Babikir in London. They have a dhikr that takes place on Saturday evenings in Brent or CrickleWood. I am not sure at the moment of the exact location. There are regular classes of Hanafi fiqh taking place somewhere in London too. These are taught by Imam Muhammad al-Yazdani Raza al-Misbahi. I may have to check the details for you, insha Allah. Once again I pray that Allah ta'ala grants your mother a place in Jannahtul firdous, amin. May Allah ta'ala continue to guide you and us to His Pleasure and grant us closeness to His Habib sallallahu alaihi wasallam, amin. wasalaam, your sister, Farah Ashrafi
