Request:
Aslaamalaikam, a relative of mine and his daughter were swept away in a river a few days ago. Please pray for their safe return or at least knowledge of what has happened to them. Also I wish to marry a new Muslim revert. She is going off the path of Islam and being led to sin by other people even though she converted in January this year. Please pray that she stays on the path of Islam and that we can both make our journey together In a halal way. Please pray that she takes interest in learning the tenants of Islam. Jazakallah.
Response:
`Alaykum as-Salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for you and your relatives insha-Allah. Drowning is shahada in Islam, which is one of the highest levels for non-Prophets.
