"Brothers, there is no march," he said.

 

"We don't want a march. Why, what's the march for? Where in the name of Islam (is there a call to march for the dead)? I'm not going nowhere. If you guys want to walk, go hiking. Don't do it in the name of our sons, no."

May Allah ease his pain. Even in such difficult situation as losing one's beloved son, he is worried about the proper Islamic Manner of behaving in these a situation. Truly a great man. Most people would cry thier eyes out.

 

A channel4 reporter writes:

have covered many awful stories in my time as a reporter and have often been moved when interviewing victims or their relatives.

 

But I have never heard anybody speak as Tariq Jahan did in the early hours of this morning.

'To me it's the month of Ramadan, as a Muslim I believe that this is a very special month,' the father, Tariq Jahan, told the crowd.

'For us Muslims we believe the gates of heaven are open and the gates of hell are shut this month, so that gives me the strength to believe that the three boys did not die in vain, they died for this community and I hope that this community will remember them,' Jahan said.

 

 

Patience, Perseverance, and Prayer

During times of deep trial, despair, and sadness, Muslims seek comfort and guidance in the words of Allah in the Qur'an. Allah reminds us that all people will be tried and tested in life, and calls upon Muslims to bear these trials with "patient perseverance and prayer." Indeed, Allah reminds us that many people before us have suffered and had their faith tested; so too will we be tried and tested in this life.

There are dozens upon dozens of verses that remind Muslims to be patient and trust in Allah during these times of trial. Among them:

 

"Seek Allah's help with patient perseverance and prayer. It is indeed hard except for those who are humble." (2:45)

 

"Oh you who believe! Seek help with patient perseverance and prayer, for God is with those who patiently persevere." (2:153)

 

"Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods, lives, and the fruits of your toil. But give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere. Those who say, when afflicted with calamity, 'To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return.' They are those on whom descend blessings from their Lord, and mercy. They are the ones who receive guidance." (2:155-157)

 

"Oh you who believe! Persevere in patience and constancy. Vie in such perseverance, strengthen each other, and be pious, that you may prosper." (3:200)

 

"And be steadfast in patience, for verily Allah will not suffer the reward of the righteous to perish." (11:115)

 

"Be patient, for your patience is with the help of Allah." (16:127)

 

"Patiently, then, persevere - for the Promise of Allah is true, and ask forgiveness for your faults, and celebrate the praises of your Lord in the evening and in the morning." (40:55)

 

"No one will be granted such goodness except those who exercise patience and self-restraint, none but persons of the greatest good fortune." (41:35)

 

"Verily man is in loss, except such as have faith, and do righteous deeds, and join together in the mutual enjoining of truth, and of patience and constancy." (103:2-3)

 

 

 

As Muslims, we should not let our emotions get the better of us. It is certainly difficult for a person to look at the tragedies of the world today and not feel helpless and sad. But believers are called to put their trust in their Lord, and not to fall into despair or hopelessness. We must continue to do what Allah has called us to do: put our trust in Him, perform good deeds, and stand as witnesses for justice and truth.

"It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards East or West.

But it is righteousness to believe in Allah and the Last Day,

And the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers;

To spend of your substance, out of love for Him,

For your kin, for orphans, for the needy,

for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves;

To be steadfast in prayer

And give in charity;

To fulfill the contracts which you have made;

And to be firm and patient, in pain and adversity

And throughout all periods of panic.

Such are the people of truth, the God-fearing.

Qur'an 2:177

 

Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.

Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.

Qur'an 94:5-6
