The Prophet (Allah bless him & give him peace) said, “If people knew the reward in praying Fajr and Isha in congregation, they would go to the mosque even if they had to crawl.” [Bukhari & Muslim]

Cripples man crawls to Masjid for 65 years

In a remote tiny village in Saudi Arabia, an old crippled man crawling to the nearby mosque has been the most familiar scene. Some of those who have watched that man have died as he is now nearly 76.

Since he was a little boy, Abdullah Al Asiri has never missed his daily prayers and insists on performing it at the mosque despite his handicap.

Asiri was born handicapped in a family of 10, including his parents, three brothers and four sisters. His brothers, sisters, sisters in law and his many nephews and nieces have been looking after him through his life.

Asiri has crawled to and from the mosque in his southern village of Alaziza five times a day for nearly 65 years, defying the scorching desert summer heat and the pinching cold weather in winter.

His nephew Abdul Aziz said he had shot a film of his uncle to “underscore his perseverance, determination and strength.”

May Allah bless him and accept all his efforts and prayers.

And we come up with any and all excuses to not go to the masjid. May Allah lengthen his life and reward him for his persistence and himmat.

Masha'Allah! This is a man of Jannah!

indeed, but we do not know who will go to Jannah and who will not so we should not make assumptions

[UMATURLIN]

subhanAllah, this is a true wali of Allah. Not some superstar "shaikh" who insists everyone call him shaikh ul islam

[Matajic]

May we take heed of his zeal. Sincerely.

sister,
It true that we do not know who will end up in Jannah and who will end up in hell, but its good to think well of people. And I honestly think this man has a high probability of getting into Jannah, but in the end its up to Allah of course.

I agree with this statement. We dont know who will go to Jannah but we know who's shoes we'd rather be in on the yawmil quiyama from what is apparant

[TeNuaTe]

What is apparent might not be the truth.

If someone dies and many Muslims praise the person and their good character...it is a sign that Allah is pleased with the person, but there is no certitude for us in this life.

[CKDIWEQ]

I feel ashamed of myself after watching him.

[catarleriarly]

WOW. Really really beautiful

I remember reading the story sum tym back.

[JetePlentuara]

What is apparent might not be the truth.

Yes, But its good to think positively of people, and wish well for them.

Ya Allah such a good topic for all of the Muslimeen in this thread and somehow a dispute has emerged? We should all learn to be tolerant. If something does not fit in our views then we should just think and give our 70 excuses. Beware of being ignited by a small spark which will diminish instantly. Please from now on, let's pledge once again that we will exercise hearts of mercy and tolerance. I find it really amazing how some threads diverge into disputes, it must not be so. Let's keep to the topic and put all differences aside. JazakumAllahu khairan.
