💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Some advice to patiently cope with a loved one's death,
So when you find out that the person you love is dead,
You bravely respond with patience to pass Allah's test,
Know they returned to Allah Who provides, takes and gives,
And from dunya's problems pray they can peacefully rest:
~•~
Believe their demise was destined, their visit short-lived,
And don't assume their death was unjust or incorrect.
How they passed away and when shouldn't keep you upset,
As Allah decreed all incidents and He knows best
What to do with His servants, with mercy and justice.
~•~
Whether some were killed, their end by opponents plotted,
Or they died from an accident, fell or gotten sick,
Or they just breathed their last because Allah wanted it,
Pray they're martyrs, that their good deeds have been accepted,
And pray that in Jannah you can be reunited.
~•~
Feeling sad for a number of days is expected,
Specially if that loved one was caring, devoted,
And there are countless memorable things that they did.
Let grief and sorrow have your sins eliminated,
As you keep praying that in Jannah you'll reconnect.
~•~
If some remind you of loved ones who no longer live,
Stay patient, or avoid them so you don't stay upset,
But still maintain peace with the pious and relatives.
Whenever you miss a loved one who no longer lives,
Pray for them and prepare for death. Anytime we're next.

Then, she was told that it was the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam, so she went to the Prophet’s house and she did not find any guards there.
