Ahmad: the 9-month-old Baby
Assalam Alaikum wa rahmat Allah.
Peace be upon you dear visitor.
I want to express my feelings about what happened for two married Egyptian couples who got a baby boy named Ahmad few months ago. He was born with a rare disorder in his heart that requires going through two cardiac operations for fixing this disorder.
I am aware about how much efforts have been spent by many people inside and outside Egypt till these two operations were successfully held into a specialized hospital in Saudi Arabia few weeks ago which reached a sum of $25,000. After by, Ahmad the 9-month-old baby went back with his family to Egypt in a great state.

Baby passed away
Yesterday I was told Ahmad the 9-month-old baby passed away!
Nothing to say when firstly heard about his death except what we say when someone pass away: “inna lillah wa inna ilayhi rajiun” as this is how a Muslim reacts when others die according to both the Islamic faith and beliefs, yet this great ebtelaa (examination and hard times in English) from The Almighty Allah (swt) – GOD – to his family (dad – mom) plus everyone who participated in helping Ahmad on different levels.
This is indeed the will of Allah (swt) who knows best and mentioned that whenever HE took a baby from his parents by death, and they did not blame, Allah will reward them inshallah in Al-Jannah (Heaven) in the hereafter that follows the Day of Judgment. This meaning has been mentioned in a hadith for Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and I already told my friends who informed me with Ahmad’s case to tell his parents this. Additionally, I never saw the baby in person except his picture while I was following up with the case from the medical reports when people were looking for others to help him and his family but subhanallah I feel like the baby was or at least I saw him in real.
It is hard to find other words to say but as mentioned up, this is an examination from The Almighty Allah (swt) – GOD – for all people who offered to help Ahmad the 9-month-old baby by all means to overcome the problems aroused after he successfully passed through the two cardiac operations. The list of involved people starts by parents, passing by friends, relatives and end with non-relatives who volunteered during this. Nevertheless, as Muslims on Hard Times, we are called to walk through two parallel ways in the same time to endure these bad times tell they pass as I already elaborated elsewhere.
Finally I say: Subhanallah wa laillah illa allah, so may Allah bless his little soul, and sustain his family, and inshallah they will be guided them to Al-Jannah. Amen!
Salam

MAY PEACE BE UPON YOUR SOUL, HEART, MIND, AND BODY…AMEN.
MAY ALLAH GRANT US HIS PURITY…
MAY ALLAH GRANT THEM PATIENCE…
“And certainly, God shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits,
but give glad tidings to those who are patient.
Those who, when afflicted with calamity, say:
‘Truly, to God we belong and truly, to God we shall return.’
They are those who are blessed and will be forgiven from their Lord,
and they are those who receive God’s Mercy, and it is they who are the guided ones.”
–Qur’an 2:155
