Tragedy at a Sydney Primary School leaves two children dead

Two young eight-year-old boys have tragically died while in their classroom after a 4WD lost control and plowed into Banksia Road Primary in Sydney, Australia. Three other young girls remain in Westmead Children’s Hospital, with one in a serious condition. Four men ran into the school after hearing a loud bang to help lift the 4WD off of an unconscious child who laid below. We ask Allah to grant their families patience and enter the two young souls into the Highest Stations of Paradise.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “When a man’s child dies, Allah, the Exalted, asks His angels, ‘Have you taken out the life of the child of My slave?’ and they reply in the affirmative. He (SWT) then asks, ‘Have you taken the fruit of his heart?’ and they reply in the affirmative. Thereupon He asks, ‘What did my slave say?’ They say: ‘He praised You and said: Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un (We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return).’ Allah says: ‘Build a house for my slave in Jannah and name it Baitul-Hamd (the House of Praise).”‘ Tirmidhi (Hassan)

To Allah, we belong and to Him, we shall return.
