The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘aleyhi wa sallam) said:

“Whoever relieves a believer’s distress of the distressful aspects of this world, Allah will rescue him from a difficulty of the difficulties of the Hereafter. Whoever alleviates [the situation of] one in dire straits who cannot repay his debt, Allah will alleviate his lot in both in this world and the Hereafter. Whoever conceals [the faults of] a Muslim, Allah will conceal [his faults] in this life and the Hereafter. Allah is helping this servant as long as the servant is helping his brother.” [Muslim]

I’m not asking you to pledge financial aid, nor is this a request for volunteers; all we ask my dear brothers and sisters is to pledge to make du’a for this young Muslim girl, Salma. Her mother wrote:

“My daughter Salma, who is just 12 years old, is battling for her life at a local hospital. She is suffering from cancer and is presently in the last stage. The doctors have given up all hope but I have trust in Allah and in the power of du’a.Therefore as a helpless mother of a dying child, I beg all of you to pray for my daughter, please include her as a part of each and every du’a of yours. Please pray to Allah that He should give her body the strength to respond to the medication, that He should somehow miraculously heal her of this disease and InshaAllah grant her a healthy and long life.

Please, please pass this message on to as many Muslim brothers and sisters as you can. If even ten percent of you would remember to pray for my daughter then it would mean a lot for us. Your duas and Allah’s mercy are our only hope. Thank you.”

May Allah give her good health and a quick recovery, may He pour upon her and her parents patience in this moment of need. May Allah protect the Muslims across the world. May Allah strengthen the weak ones amongst us, may He cure the sick ones from amongst us, and may He have mercy on us all and enter us into Jannah, ameen.
