Beautiful Islamic Story

After performing Salat Al Maghrib, she put on her make-up, wore her beautiful white dress preparing herself for her wedding party. Then she heard the Adhan of ‘Ishaa and she realised that she broke her Wudu…she told her mother,

"Mother, I have to go to make wudu and pray ‘Ishaa."

Her mother was shocked, 

"Are you in your right frame of mind?! Guests are waiting for you, to see you! What about your make –up?

It will be all washed away by water!!

I am your mother and I order you not to perform salah now! If you make wudu now, I will be angry at you!"

Her daughter replied,

"Wallah I won’t go out from here till I perform my salah! Mother you must know that obedience to any creature is disobedience to the Creator!"

Her mother said,

"What will our guests say about you when you show up at your wedding party without make-up? You won’t be beautiful in their eyes! They will make fun of you!"

The daughter asked with a smile,

"Are you worried because I won’t be beautiful in the eyes of created beings?

What about my Creator?

I am worried, because if I miss my salah, I won’t be beautiful in His eyes!"

She started to make wudu, and all her make-up was washed away, but she didn’t care…

Then she began her salah and at the moment she bowed down to make sujud, she didn’t realise that it would be her last one.

Yes, she died while in sujud!"
