Answer
Your brother is fortunate for having been successful in influeincing the
girl to Islam. He will be immersely rewarded for that. The girl is also
fortunate. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Whosoever recites
the Kalima (accepts Islam) and passes away will enter paradise.' (Bukhari).
It is natural for your brother to be sad and depressed at the loss of the
girl who he loved and hoped to marry. It is our advice that he be given time
to recover from this apparent set back. He should also be advised to be
patient and seek Allah's reward in his grief. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi
Wasallam) also went through these difficulties with life.
May Allah Ta'ala grant your brother courage and a speedy recovery, Aameen.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
