29.06.2012 - Mayyit of: Goolam Hoosein Assim - VENUE: 68 Squirrel Street Villaliza Boksburg - TIME: 10:30am - QABARSTAAN: Rynsoord - CAUSE OF DEATH: Natural

His hair looked dishevelled and his whole appearance was unkempt. He was thin and wiry with so little flesh on his bones that it was painful to look at him. Yet in single-handed combat he defeated and killed many opponents and in the thick of battle he was an outstanding fighter against the Mushrikeen.

He was so courageous and daring that Umar RA once wrote to his governors throughout the Islamic state that they should not appoint him to lead any army out of fear that he would have them all killed by his daring exploits. This man was al-Baraa ibn Malik al- Ansari, the brother of Anas ibn Malik, the personal aide of the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam.

If the tales of Baraa's heroism were to be told in detail, pages and pages could be written. But let one example suffice.This particular story begins only hours after the death of the noble Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam when many Arabian tribes took to leaving the religion of Allah in large numbers, just as they had entered it in large numbers. Within a short space of time only the people of Makkah, Madinah and Taif and scattered communities here and there, whose commitment to Islam was unwavering, remained within the religion.

Abu Bakr as-Siddiq RA, the successor to the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam, stood firm against this blind and destructive movement. From the Muhajireen and Ansar, he mobilized eleven armies each under a separate commander and despatched them to various parts of the Arabian peninsula. Their purpose was to make the apostates return to the path of guidance and truth and to confront the leaders of the rebellion.

Concerned about this, a local woman called on the manager and asked him, “Why is it you limit your employees to married men?
Is it because you think women are weak, dumb, cantankerous..or what?“

“Not at all, Ma’am,” the manager replied.

“It is because our employees are used to obeying orders, are accustomed to being shoved around, know how to keep their mouths shut and don’t pout when I yell at them.”
