Last moments of The Holy Prophet (SAW)

Suddenly, there was a person at the door, he said salaam.

'May I come in?' he asked.

But Fatimah did not allow him enter the room.

'I'm sorry, my father is ill,' said Fatimah,

as she turned her body back and closed the door.

She went back to her father who had opened his eyes and

Asked Fatimah, 'Who was he, my daughter?'

'I don't know, my father. It was the first I have

seen him,' Fatimah said gently.

Then, Rasulullah looked at his daughter with a trembled look,

'Know one thing! It is He who erases the temporary

pleasure; he who separates the companionship in the

world. He is the angel of death,' said Rasulullah (SAW).

Fatimah bore the bomb of her cry. The angel of death came

towards him, But Rasulullah asked why Jibril did not come

along with him.

Then, Jibril was called. Jibril was ready in the sky to

welcome the soul of Habibullah and the leader of the earth.

'O Jibril, explain me about my rights in front of

ALLAH?' Rasulullah asked with a weak voice.

'The doors of sky have opened, the angels are waiting

for your soul.'

'All jannats doors are open widely waiting for you,' Jibril

said. But, in fact, all this did not make Rasulullah relieved,

his eyes were still full of worry..

'You are not happy to hear this news?' asked

Jibril. 'Tell me about the destiny of my people in future?'

'Don't worry, O Rasul ALLAH. I heard ALLAH tell me:

'I make jannat haram for every one, except the people of

Muhammad who are inside it,' Jibril said.

The time came closer and closer, the time for Malaekat Izrail

to do his work.

Slowly, Rasulullah's soul was pulled. It seemed

that the body of Rasulullah was full of sweat; the nerves of

his neck became tight.

'Jibril, how painful this sakaratul maut is!'

Rasulullah uttered a groan slowly. Fatimah closed her eyes,

Ali sat beside her bowed deeply and Jibril turned his face

back.

'Am I repugnant to you that you turn your face back o

Jibril?' Rasulullah asked the Deliverer of Wahy.

'Who is the one who could see the Habibullah in his

condition of sakaratul maut,' Jibril said.

Not for a while, Rasulullah uttered a groan because of

unbearable pain. 'O ALLAH, how great is this sakaratul maut. Give me

all these pains, don't give it to my people.'

The body of Rasulullah became cold, his feet and chest did

not move anymore....

His lips vibrated as if he wanted to say something, Ali

took his ear close to Rasulullah.

'Uushiikum bis salati, wa maa malakat aimanukum - take

care of the saalat and take care the weak people among

you.' Outside the room, there were cries, shouts

sahabah held each other. Fatimah closed her face with her

hands and, again, Ali took his ear close to Rasulullah's

mouth which became bluish.

'Ummatii, ummatii, ummatii?' - 'My people, my

people, my people.'

And the life of the noble man ended.

Could we love each other like him? Allahumma salle 'ala

Muhammad wa baarik wa salim 'alaihi. How deep is

Rasulullah's love to us.
