I was very saddened by the news of Brother Ossama's death when I saw the Facebook Post by Huda Tv announcing his death. Although two months have passed I still cannot believe that he is no longer with us.
My first encounter with Brother Ossama was many years ago when I was browsing through YouTube trying to find something to listen to while I prepared supper. It was before he joined Huda Tv. Brother Ossama was a very down to earth sort of person who spoke from this heart. I was overjoyed when he joined Huda Tv as it is my favorite Tv channel and one can see browsing through our forum, we feature a lot of programs from Huda Tv.
Personally I've learned so much from him, he was very humble, very patient, soft spoken, smart, and knowledgeable. I benefited a lot from his programs :- Together to Paradise, Straight Path, One Step Closer to mention a few. He inspired me in many ways.
I find the social media networks too fast paced and forums are a more stable and more permanent source of knowledge and it is for this reason we are collecting his videos and will share them here.
Recently Dr Muhammad Salah was discussing the Chapter on
Remembrance of Death and Restraint of Wishes and Brother Ossama came to mind, he was teaching us to remember death and our meeting with Allah, to live our lives as strangers and wayfarers.
Dear Sisters, Dear Mothers, encourage your children to watch his videos. Today our youth are faced with so many destructive distractions, and as parents we are not paying heed to them. We as mothers are the first school for our children, save them from the Fitan of this world so that they can enter Jannah which is our Final Abode Insha Allah.
May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala reward Brother Ossama with the Jannatul-Firdaus, forgive him his shortcomings and sins and give strength and Sabr to his loved ones. Ameen.
May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala give us the strength to fight the evil around us and save ourselves and our children from destruction. Ameen
May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala unite and strengthen the Ummah of Muhammad
protect those suffering calamities and hardships ease their sufferings and restore their rights and grant us Leaders who are afraid of You O Allah, not Your enemies. Ameen
