Default DEATH (My uncle passed away)

I know you are probably wondering why I have chosen to post under this topic but death is part of our imaan.

My uncle passed away in this blessed month, May Allah grant him Jannah and make his grave a garden of paradise- Ameen

This week I have heard of 3 deaths, 1st death was of a man who passed away in Sajdah in Masjid Nabwi in the Riadduhl Jannnah Allahu Akbar what a beautiful death.

2nd was of a family friend. Their nan in pakistan wasn't well so their dad (nans son) went there to look after her. After a couple of weeks his mother passed away and he ended up having a stroke. He was completely paralysed, unable to speak or move, just open his eyes. His daughters here in the UK individually took time off work to go and be with him. In the end, they struggled to get time off and arrange adequate child care so they decided to bring their dad back home in UK.
Every airline refused to bring him so in the end they remortgaged their house, sold their gold and hired a 40K air ambulance, private doctor and nurse to fly their dad home. They ended up making an emergency stop in germany as their dad was very critical.

He survived a week in UK and all family, friends, relatives were able to see him and then he passed away. The love and respect these girls had for their dad was heart rendering.

My grandfather was telling me a story of Hazrat Musa AS . (My uncles name was also Musa who passed away).
Anyway, Musa AS asked Allah who will be my companion in Jannah, Allah replied a butcher. so Musa AS went in search of this companion and came to a place where he felt he may get a chance to see this butcher. He AS sat outside a place where they would slaugheter cattle. After a few days, the owner of the place asked Musa AS if he was waiting for someone as Musa AS would be there all the time. Musa AS replied yes but he didn't know who this person was. The owner had a mother who was completely blind and although she had limbs, she couldn't use them. This mum was completely dependant on her son to feed her etc.

One day, Musa AS asked the owner if he could go home with him and as the owner was weary of his mum, he hesitated but took Musa AS home with him.

There Musa AS sat whilst the owner fed his mum. The mum had tears in her eyes and said "ya Allah, bless my son with paradise and grant him the company of your ambiyaah AS"
A mothers dua is so powerful and her dua was accepted. At that instant Musa AS revealed who He was and the owner went in sujood.

My gramps told me this the other day and I had tears in my eyes.
