There is one person in the Arab world who had the same biography as of Junaid Jamshed whose name was Saeed Al Zayyani. (May Allah have mercy on them). Saeed Zayyani repented and went in the path of Allah when he was at the peak in his music world and much popular in the Arab world. When he came back home from the path of Allah after one year and four months, people used to repent just by looking at him. They could not believe this was the same Sayeed Zayyani. He was a person who was known for great Akhlaq. Even when his old fans would come later and ask, when is his next album. He would say, it will be there after Magrib in the Masjid. He would not abandon them and sing for them Nasheed (like Naat) Talaal Badru Alaina…
He prayed to Allah in Sujood in front of Ka’aba.. Ya Allah make my son a Daee ila Allah. He has a son whose name is Salman who spent 4 months in the path of Allah.
He was active in the works of Da’wa until he passed away in a car accident in 2009 while returning from Saudi Arabia to Abu Dhabi. Arab Islamic channels talked about his death as he was then a media person for the good like Junaid Jamshed.
Reciting below Ayah from Surah Al-Nisa, he would say. Allah has given us the Taufeeq to go out in His path, when will we be blessed with the later portion of this Ayah. Meaning death in the path of Allah.
وَمَن يُہَاجِرۡ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ يَجِدۡ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُرَٲغَمً۬ا كَثِيرً۬ا وَسَعَةً۬ۚ وَمَن يَخۡرُجۡ مِنۢ بَيۡتِهِۦ مُهَاجِرًا إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ ثُمَّ يُدۡرِكۡهُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ فَقَدۡ وَقَعَ أَجۡرُهُ ۥ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورً۬ا رَّحِيمً۬ا
Whoever migrates in the way of Allah shall find on the earth many a place to settle, and a wide dimension (of resources). Whoever leaves his home migrating for the sake of Allah and His Messenger, and death overtakes him, then, his reward is established with Allah. Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful. (Surah Al Nisa: Ayah No.100)
It comes in Hadeeth of Fazael Madeena, Hazrath Umar (r.a) would make this Dua
" اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي شَهَادَةً فِي سَبِيلِكَ ، وَاجْعَلْ مَوْتِي فِي بَلَدِ رَسُولِكَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "
“Oh Allah, make me a martyr in your path, and grant me a death in the city of your Prophet. (s.a.w)
It was almost impossible to happen both. As Madeena Munawara was already a safe place for Muslims, martyrdom inside of Madeena was least ever expected. But Allah gives whomsoever He wills as He wills.
