🌟 The 7 Good Signs in One Body — Summary & Reflection#

Here is a concise summary of the 7 good signs seen in the body of the deceased man from the story.

🌿 7 Good Signs in One Body (Summarized)#

1. No Impurity Released After Death#

   • Normally, bodily waste exits after death during ghusl (ritual washing).
   • This man’s body remained clean, even after being pressed multiple times.

2. Finger Raised in Shahada#

   • His index finger remained raised in testimony (tashahhud) position.
   • Attempts to straighten it failed, and it would return to that position.

3. Face Glowing#

   • Despite dim lighting, his face visibly glowed with no external explanation.
   • The glow remained even after wiping the face with cotton.

4. Fragrance from the Body#

   • A strong, sweet scent emanated from his body, overpowering any perfume.
   • It lasted through ghusl, shrouding, prayer, and burial.

5. Grave Was Freezing Cold#

   • Despite 45°C summer heat, the grave was ice-cold when the body was placed.
   • The sheikh experienced shivers inside the grave — something unheard of.

6. Raised Finger While Heart Had Stopped#

   • A nurse saw the deceased raise his index finger in shahada after clinical death.
   • The monitor had gone flat, yet his body moved one final time.

7. He Was the “Light of the Masjid”#

   • Attended the mosque consistently for 15+ years, always in the first row.
   • Came before Fajr, stayed after Isha, often reciting Qur’an.
   • The imam and janitor confirmed his unwavering devotion.

🏁 Bonus: His Final Intention#

He intended to fast the day he passed away — woke for suhoor, drank water, and passed away with fasting as his last conscious goal.
This further supports a righteous death (ḥusn al-khātimah).

🤲 Final Reflection#

Even if one of these signs is seen in a person, it is hopeful.
But seeing seven signs in one body is a powerful testament to a blessed ending (ḥusn al-khātimah).

May Allah grant us all a good ending and guide us to righteous lives. Ameen.

✅ What He Did to Deserve These Signs#

Based on the sheikh’s investigation and the testimonies of family, mosque staff, and neighbors, here’s what the deceased man consistently did in his life that likely contributed to his blessed ending.

1. 🕋 Consistent Fasting (Siyām)#

• He never missed:
  • Monday & Thursday fasts
  • White Days (13th, 14th, 15th of lunar months)
• His wife said he fasted almost every possible Sunnah fast.
• He intended to fast on the day he died — he woke up for suhoor but passed away before.

“The smell of the fasting person’s mouth is sweeter to Allah than musk.”
— Hadith (Bukhari & Muslim)

2. 🕌 Steadfast in Prayer (Ṣalāh)#

• Attended the masjid daily for over 15 years, never missing a single day.
• Always in the first row, arriving before the imam.
• Especially diligent for Fajr and Isha.

“Give glad tidings to those who walk to the masjid in darkness — that they will have full light on the Day of Judgment.”
— Hadith (Abu Dawood)

3. 📖 Stayed in the Masjid After Salah#

• Remained in the masjid after Fajr and Isha while others left.
• Spent time in Qur’an recitation and dhikr (remembrance).
• The janitor said he was often the last to leave.

“He who remains seated in the place where he has prayed, waiting for the next prayer, is regarded as being in prayer.”
— Bukhari & Muslim

4. 💭 Died with the Intention to Fast#

• His final conscious act was intending to fast.
• Intention (niyyah) carries immense weight in Islam.

🌸 Bonus Observations#

• He had no fame or wealth, yet Allah honored him with rare signs.
• He lived in a small, humble home.
• The sheikh had never witnessed so many good signs in one person.

🧭 Takeaway for Us#

You don’t need to be famous or rich to be beloved by Allah.
His private sincerity, consistency in worship, and love for the masjid were enough to earn him a beautiful ending.
