This is a true story

The Prophet sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam was reported to have said, "There are two blessings in which people are cheated: health and leisure time." 

[Sahih Al-Bukhari, Book 81, Chapter 1, Hadith No. 6412, p. 1232.]

This is a true story with pictures.

It may change your life, way of thinking and aims in life.

It is a story of a person from Bahrain named Ibrahim Nasser. He has been paralyzed completely since birth and can only move his head and fingers. Even his breathing is done with the help of instruments.

It was the wish of this young man to meet Sheikh Nabeel Al-Awdi. So Ibrahim's father spoke the sheikh on the phone in order to arrange a visit to Ibrahim.

The moment sheikh Nabeel entered Ibrahim's room...

Ibrahim was very happy to see sheikh Nabeel open the door to his room. We can only see his happiness from his expression as he is unable to speak..

And this is Ibrahim's expression on meeting sheikh Nabeel

Notice the breathing instrument around Ibrahim's neck.. he is unable to even breath normally.

And a kiss on the for head for Ibrahim

Ibrahim with his father, uncle and sheikh Nabeel

Thus sheikh Nabeel and Ibrahim started talking about da'wa on the internet and the striving it requires.

They also exchanged some stories

And during their conversation sheikh Nabeel asked Ibrahim a question. A question that made Ibrahim weep... and tears rolled down Ibrahim's cheek.

Ibrahim couldn't help but weep when he remembered some painful memories

Here sheikh Nabeel wipes the tears from Ibrahim's face

Do you know what question it was that made Ibrahim weep?

The sheikh asked: Oh Ibrahim.. if Allah had given you health.. what would you have done?

And thus Ibrahim wept bitterly and he made the sheikh, his father, his uncle and everyone in the room weep.. even the camera man wept

And his answer was: By Allah i would have performed my salaa (prayer) in the masjid (mosque) with joy.. i would have used the favor of health in everything that would please Allah Subhanehu we Ta'ala

Dear brothers and sisters Allah has favored us with agility and health

But we do not perform our salaa in the masjid!!! And we sit for hours in front of the computer or TV

"Indeed in this there is a remembrance for those who have a living heart, listen attentively and are awake to taking heed." 

[Holy Qur'an : Qaaf: 37]

May Allah guide us to the right path & keep us stead fast in that . Ameen

With very best Regards & Duas
