Thinking about the good parts of a bad situation (part 2)...

For some reason, many of you were thinking about polygyny (ههه); a plausible option, but the correct answer to yesterday's quiz is as follows: On the 2nd of Muḥarram 1442H. (21/08/20) my youngest son Is-ḥāq was born - may Allāh preserve him & the rest of his siblings, and five months prior, on the 1st of Sha‘bān 1441H. (25/03/20), another offspring was born... That offspring is highlighted in the following benefit... Ibn Al-Jawzi - raḥimahullāh - said in Ṣaydul Khāṭir P. 21, Chapter: Preserving time: “If a person knows, even if he is seriously hardworking (in terms of good deeds), that death will eventually overtake him and prevent him from doing any more deeds, he will strive his utmost to carry out deeds during his lifetime whose rewards will continue long after his death...” He mentioned examples of such deeds and then went on to echoe the famous words of Ibn Al-Mu‘tazz (D. 296H): ((علم الإنسان ولده المخلد)) “A person's knowledge is his immortal offspring.” That is because, a person's physical offspring remains in this Dunya a short term and then departs, whereas his knowledge (also an offspring - although not a physical one) lives on after his death for decades - if not centuries. This brings us to the topic at hand; thinking about the good parts of a bad situation. One of the blessings from this pandemic was the birth of this knowledge based platform (Madrasatuna), which was born on the 1st of Sha‘bān 1441H (25/03/20). I praise Allāh for guiding me to this initiative, through which - and all praises belong to Allāh - I have been able to reach thousands of English speakers across the globe.
