The Last Wish
A Wise And Saintly Rich Man,****
Sensing His Approaching Death,****
Called His Son To His Side And Gave Him These instructions :****
" My Son, I Shall Be Leaving You Very Shortly. ****
On The Day When I Die,****
And They Have Washed My Body And Come To Wrap it in The Shroud,****
I Want You To Put One Of My Socks On My Foot.****
This is My Final Request Of You." ****
Soon After This, The Old Man indeed Died, ****
Leaving Behind His Goods And Property,****
His Children And His Dependents.****
Family, Friends, And Neighbours Attended His Funeral. ****
The Body was Washed And Completely Wrapped in The Shroud,****
Then The Son Remembered His Father's Wish.****
Finding One Of His Old Socks,****
He Handed it To The Person who Washed his Dad's Dead body,****
Saying, " In Accordance With My Father's Last Request, ****
Please Put This Socks On His Foot."****
** **
" That is Quite Impossible :' ****
Said The Washer Man. ****
" Such A Thing is Utterly Impermissible in Islam. I Cannot Act Against The
Shariah."****
** **
Despite This Valid Objection, The Son insisted, ****
" That Was My Father's Final Request ;****
it Must Certainly Be Carried Out."****
The Washer Of The Dead Was Unmoved.****
" If You Won't Take My Word For it,"****
He Said, ****
" Go And Ask The Grand Mufti. ****
He Will Confirm What I Tell You,****
That it is Not Permissible." ****
Holding Up The Funeral,****
They Consulted The Mufti,****
Preachers And Scholars,****
All Of Whom Declared That This Was Not Permissible in Islam.****
Just Then,****
An Aged old Friend Of The Deceased interrupted The Debate With These Words
To The Son :****
" My Boy, Your Late Father Entrusted Me With A Letter Which I Was To Hand
Over To You After His Death. ****
Here, This Letter Belongs To You."****
So Saying, He Gave Him An Envelope. ****
Taken By Surprise,****
The Boy Opened The Envelope And Read Out The Contents Of His Father's
Letter. ****
" My Son, All This Wealth And Property I Have Left To You. ****
Now You See :****
At The Last Moment,****
They Won't Even Let You Give Me An Old Socks To Wear. ****
When You Yourself Come One Day To Be in My Condition They Will Also Refuse
To Let You Keep Anything But Shroud.****
Just Eight Yards Of Shroud is All You Will Be Able To Carry Over From This
Deceiving World into The Hereafter.****
So Pull Yourself Together And Be Prepared. Spend The Fortune I Have Left
You,****
Not For The Satisfaction Of Your Own in Vain Desires,****
But in Ways to Please Allah,****
That You May Achieve Honour in this life and Hereafter Inshaa Allah."
