THE GRAVE THAT COST LAA ILAHA ILLALLAH

[0:00]I was at the city in in Oklahoma. They have a cemetery, mashallah, a nice, good Muslim cemetery. Five years fighting with the government to get a permit to to bury people according to the way of the Sharia. They won the case on Monday. Tuesday or Wednesday, he got a phone call. Sounds like a white lady calling him saying, "Hey, my mom passed away and we need to bury her in your cemetery." He said, "It's not ready yet." Sorry to ask, are you Muslim? He said, "I'm not." Okay, what about your mum? She said, "Yes, she is." Okay, you can come to my to the masjid. I will meet you. So the Imam met her and he found out that her mom is Chinese American. And basically, her mom came from China and she arrived last week. And subhanallah, she's an old woman. She left her husband because her husband left Islam. So she said, "No, I'll stay as a Muslim." And her husband stayed in America and he kept the kids, so they raised Christian or whatever religion that they have. And the mom returned back to China. But you know, she wants her mom to visit. So she brought her for a visit. And when she arrived, she said, "My mom went to the yellow book in the airport. And she took the the yellow book and she looked in the Islamic center. She even ripped the paper out of the yellow book. Old woman. She told her daughter, "If anything happened to me here, these are my brothers." And I said, "Mum, what do you mean?" She said, "Just let you know." She said, "I took it like I didn't care for it. Maybe she's tired from the long trip." She said, "She spent the first night." Second night she died while she is in her bed. So the Sheikh said, "I will bury her in the cemetery. Even if it's not ready, I will make it happen. The first grave in that cemetery. Khutbah al-Jum'ah, he mentioned the story to the people. Everybody prayed Jum'ah that day, almost followed her Janazah. Then the family were shocked and they said to him, "Why? Who are all those people?" They said, "Those are her brothers." She said, "My brothers, those were brothers." They were in tears. Then after she was buried, he handed him a piece of paper. She said, "That's my mum's prayer. Can you make it?" Dr. Ahmed, he told me and I looked at it and I start crying. Daughter and the son and like her ex-husband came. He said to him, "What is in it?" And she said, "Subhanallah, she wrote in a broken Arabic letter." And it says, "Ya Allah, guide my kids, guide my children." That's her favorite prayer. And I told her that her son accepted Islam in that moment before we left the grave. He became Muslim. And her husband said, "I want to reserve her ex-husband." said, "I want to reserve the grave next to her. How much it cost?" So the Imam said, "The cost of that grave is La ilaha illallah." And he said, "Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah wa anna Muhammadan Rasulullah." Both became Muslim on the spot.
