As salaam walaikumm,

The man who lost four members of his family in a Leicester house fire has said he "deeply misses" them, as police arrested five people over the deaths.

Dr Muhammad Taufiq Al Sattar said: "I deeply miss my beautiful wife and three beautiful children.

"What has happened has happened, and nothing can be reversed, but I hope justice prevails and in future this should not happen to any family."

Three women, aged 27, 20 and 19, and men aged 49 and 19 have been arrested.

The arrests were made on Saturday afternoon.

The fire took hold shortly after midnight on Friday in Wood Hill with neighbours rushing to try to alert the family, named by the local mosque as Shehnila Taufiq, her teenage sons Jamal and Bilal and daughter Zainab, 19.

=========================================================

Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilayyhi Wa Ra'jioon - May Allah SWT grant the father (Dr) sabr e Jameel - who are these people ? Anyone here knows what this is about?

This is so saddening...

Wa alaikumm as salaam.

Been following this incident since it took place....was actually thinking of posting up the incident myself and the follow up...but having lost my mum a year ago and father a few weeks ago just felt too raw....

However, Dr taufeeq gave a speech...which left me and many many others speechless...his tawakkul, humility, humbleness, and Noor of piety as he spoke was just so inspiring. So much pain yet so much faith and trust in Allah subhaanuhu wata'aala, truly those are the pious who stand firm on faith in times of trials and difficulties. I repeatedly listened to his words as tears rolled down my face at my own weakness in times of difficulties. Brought back memories of another father also a doctor who lost his wife and five children under similar circumstances in Harlow.

It's easy to say sabr, and tawakul, but makes you wonder after everyones walked away and they are left alone...how do they physically carry on?

We all say we have tawakul, but how true are we to ourselves, if today we were to find ourselves in the same position...how would we react?

Sorry to hear about your own loss, may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala elevate their status in Jannah and grant them noor in the qabr. Ameen.

Losing a loved one/s is never easy...the gaps in the heart never get filled...but only by the mercy and grace of Allah subhaanuhuwata'aala, you find yourself carrying on. Deen certainly is hope and a great blessing for a Muslim. Alhumdulillah

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Waalaikumussalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu:

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon.

May Allah Ta'aala accept the sacrifices of this family, forgive their sins, and accept them as shuhada, elevate them in jannah, and grant them the companionship of the nabiyyeen, siddiqeen, shuhadaa, and saliheen; and may He grant the father, family, fellow students, and friends sabr and support. Ameen.

I first heard this news elsewhere and insha'Allah here are some remarkable things that were shared:

~~~

"... Aslm just thought I'd share this with my dear sisters from my nephew whose currently studying Alim in jamiah ...

You know that boy from first year yeah, he had his first Anjuman Speech today, we do Bayaans on Fridays, so today was his groups turn to do Bayaan, and he prepared his topic and notes and everything. Guess what his topic was? Death

They had all four four privileges man.
1. Travellers, who came to seek knowledge; Shaheed.
2. Students of Knowledge; Shaheed
3. Died in a fire; Shaheed
4. Died on a Friday; Shaheed

Maulana Imran said that the boy prepared his speech, topic on death. Maulana Imran said forget speaking to us about death, Allah actually practically USED him in the topic of death to show us all and make us all take a lesson from it and make it go down deep into our hearts, instead of him just speaking about it

He was about to speak on the topic, but he actually showed us. Subhanallah!!
Maulana Imran started crying he said that he saw Bilal everyday, he used to walk into the class to teach and Bilal used to be there with a smiley face every day. And today he walks into class and there's that seat empty"

Just shows...our lives are so short n temporary in this dunya, n we r well aware that the akhirah is the real n true abode, but we busy ourselves with petty little useless issues, n Allah knows better than ourselves how many other useless things we busy ourselves with.

May Allah truly make this incident a real eye opener n make us all n our families n all the muslims all over the world true n sincere servants of His, forgive us n guide us on the right path, unite us all with respect towards 1 another, regardless of which country we live in or cum from, which culture or language we speak.

Ameen Yaa Rabbal Aa'lameen

...That lady mother of those 3 teenagers shehnaz aapa , I have met her twice and she was such an innocent , loving and Allah wali aunty. I really don't have words to write about her. This year she herself completed her aalimah course at jamia (Molana Adam db's madarsa). And in her bukhari sharif jalasa Molana Adam db praised her and told the whole gathering how this whole family was passionate about deen. They had bought place in Ireland to open madarsa there and they were about to move back next year.. But Allah has moved them from this temporary abode to a more peaceful place now. May Allah tala grant them higher ranks in jannah and give their dad Dr. Tauqeer sabr e jameel. And make this event an eye opener for me and all other muslimeen. And grant us ability to make each and every moment of our life pleasing to Him.

~~~

Ameen thumma ameen.

Sis Acacia, all the info is correct except the work in Ireland has already been established since the last few years. Dr Sahib is doing a lot for the Deen in Ireland. Couple of my family members have been there and seen it.

When Aapa completed her 'aalimah course last year (remember she was studying the last 6 years while her three children were growing up- her youngest was about 15) she joined my sister's Tajweed class saying I wish to learn properly because I will be teaching in Ireland. Amazing woman! She was totally humble and despite their wealth, led totally simple lives. A real example of people on the sunnah committed to Deen. Cannot stop thinking of her when I saw her last, sitting on the floor of the library, a huge book open in front of her, a tiny person with huge shelves full of books towering on either side!

The father of Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari, Maulana Adam (HA) said in his Majlis 2 nights ago:

A dream was seen regarding the Shuhadaa'. The mother was dressed in green (Sign of Jannah and a great sign of glad tidings if colour green is seen in a dream), and all the three children were dressed in white (Another sign of Jannah and glad tidings if white colour is seen), and all of them were very happy, saying that today is our 'Eid.

Hadhrat said their bodies may be here, all deceased and lifeless, but what is happening to them and their souls behind the scenes is something else. The purpose isn't their bodies. Their life in the hereafter has nothing to do with their bodies of this life (A temporary packaging, a container for where our souls are kept in this life), rather, whilst their bodies are kept here in this world, they and their souls are in the Aakhirah enjoying themselves for eternity. SubhaanAllah ...
