one final plea...

As I take a break from packing in order to massively update my ipod, I wanted to request one final plea from all of you before I go insha'Allah... Allahu `Alim if I die on my journey or on my way back... and if I do, insha'Allah I will rest assured that as a hadith states, (totally paraphrasing) A person who dies before he/she returns home from a journey to attain sacred knowledge, he/she dies as a martyr. SubhanAllah, in Islam, we know that those who die as a martyr will insha'Allah attain heaven! But my final plea to you all insha'Allah is the same plea that the blessed Shaykh [loosely translated as a religious teacher/scholar/guide] Muhammad al-Ya`qoubi (may Allah preserve him and grant him the highest state of Heaven!) made at last year's Rihla: if you see me crossing the sirat [a bridge over the blazing Hellfire that Muslims believe everyone, after the Day of Judgment, will have to cross in order to enter Heaven] and I am crawling to get over, please help me along the way! Insha'Allah may us all swiftly and quickly pass over the sirat-al-Mustaqeem in order to be with all the Prophets (peace be upon them all)!! Ameen!
