Signs of a Good End

Umm Talhah (may Allah’s mercy be upon her) too is remembered as ‘a caring and careful mother—a joyful character who loved her children and cared immensely for the Sunnah and its implementation in the home’.[1] Their Janāzah was prayed at the Haram Masjid in Makkah after Fajr on 6th Dhul-Hijjah 1432H [Tuesday 1st November 2011],[2] and despite the sorrow felt by the Salafi community for such a tremendous loss to the da‘wah, the signs of them having met with a good end was a solace to all, as summed up Shaykh Abu ‘Iyād’s eulogy of them below: 

May Allah the Exalted grant Abu Talhah and his wife mercy, forgiveness, and the loftiest place in Paradise … [they] were travelling to Hajj, were in ihrām, were making talbiyah, and were both caught up in fire, being killed by it. Their funeral prayer was in Haram of Makah, after Fajr prayer, with at least hundreds of thousands of people praying over them. What greater signs could there be of a good end than this?[3]
