صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم after death, rather the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم comes to take some believers at the time their souls are removed.^[1]

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه Dear Islamic brothers! This is the beloved Prophet’s love for his Umma. He was given the choice of staying on earth or to meet Allah Almighty, and he chose to meet Allah Almighty. Why? So, that when someone from his nation passes away and faces the agony of death, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has prepared his forgiveness and salvation. May Allah increase our love for the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and grant us the ability to act upon his Sunnah.

اٰمِیْنْ بِجَاہِ خاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہ ِوَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ 

Knowledge of the unseen

O devotees of the Prophet! Allah Almighty granted the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم knowledge of the unseen. He knows what has occurred and what will occur until the Day of Judgement. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم also knew about the time of his passing, and he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم alluded towards it many times. During the farewell Hajj sermon, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said many times, “O people! Learn about Islam from me! Perhaps I will no longer be with you next year.”^[2]

Someone asked Sayyidunā ꜤAbdullāh b. ꜤAbbās رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهُمَا, “Did the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم know about his death?” Sayyidunā ꜤAbdullāh b. ꜤAbbās رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهُمَا said, “Yes! Allah showed him signs of it in this verse: ^[3]

اِذَا  جَآءَ  نَصْرُ اللّٰہِ  وَ  الْفَتْحُ ۙ(۱) وَ  رَاَیْتَ النَّاسَ یَدْخُلُوْنَ فِیْ  دِیْنِ اللّٰہِ  اَفْوَاجًا ۙ(۲) فَسَبِّحْ  بِحَمْدِ رَبِّکَ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْہُ  ؕ اِنَّہٗ کَانَ  تَوَّابًا (۳)
