sweetness of its essence is only got when one recites it knowing Arabic language in which it was
revealed to the Last Prophet صلى هلل عليه وسلم ‏.مُحَمَّدٌ‏ Even while reading the basic meaning of the
Qur’an what unfolded in front of the eyes of this “shabab” (young man) was shocking and thought
provoking. His eyes kept catching upon the verses of Jihad. It kept illuminating in front of his eyes for
questions kept arising in his mind for why were the Shuyookhs of Maldives not speaking about Jihad
while they gave many religious sermons about the basic matters of Religion. He continued to recite
the Qur’an with its translation while making du’a continuously to
to guide him to the
right path.
Choosing the Role Model:
هللا سبحانه وتعالى
By the end of Ramadan having completed his recitation of Qur’an his heart was completely changed.
The wahn (love for the world) that was attached to it had vanished replacing it with love of ‏.الحمد هللا
the Prophet مُحَمَّدٌ‏ صلى هلل عليه وسلم who became his role model and mentor. The love of Jihad had
taken a deep, firm root in his heart and wanting to participate in the battle field had preoccupied his
thoughts.
Learning Arabic language:
(….He guides whom He likes to the right path). (Quran 2:142)
In parallel to this he had started to learn the Arabic language from the available sources on the
internet and books as well as taking tuition from one of the Shaykh of Maldives. It didn’t take him
long to get a grip on the language and he was able to read the books of the Ulama available in the
actual language that they had written it in. All of this did not come over night but it was a lot of du’a
and help from هللا سبحانه وتعالى came and his tireless efforts and determination started to bore the
fruits slowly.
Mother’s conviction upon Deen:
For him it was not enough that he was the only one who got the knowledge of Deen at home.
Therefore, he kept asking هللا سبحانه وتعالى for the guidance for his family too. Especially his mother
هللا سبحانه whom he loved for the sake of Allah. During that Ramadan one whole night he kept asking
sincerely and desperately like any other pious child to grant the correct guidance for his وتعالى
mother. When the Fajr Adhan was called not knowing that her son had been awake the whole night
his mother came to call him to go for prayer. سبحان هللا What greeted him was something he would
always be grateful for سبحانه وتعالى ‏.هللا His mother's heart had completely changed and she spoke of
words that showed him the love of Deen by her. Indeed, the du’a of a pious offspring will be
something beneficial for the parents in their graves and in this incident it showed that even while
they are alive by the Mercy of هللا سبحانه وتعالى their du’a could be granted. الحمد هللا His mother's
conviction upon Deen became the greatest support for him to embark on his journey to come.
Relationship with Family:
According to his mother he was a loving, good, and obedient son who was the light of her eyes. She
would always find him busy doing his researches on his laptop and studying. He was dearly loved by
his one and only sister and her daughters. His sister once had mentioned affectionately that
whenever he is at home he is working upon knowledge related to Islam and Jihad. It became
