Salaam,
Over the weekend, i had a wedding of a cousin on 1 day n a death on the next. It was unexpected.Totally. I didnt visit, but i felt the effect. I didnt visit, cos i knew i wont be able to take it.
My brother and my mother went instead. My brother is very disturbed by the sudden death. He keeps talking about it and he's unable to concentrate on his work. My mom is more composed, comes with the age i suppose.
Coming back to the brother who passed away,he was a health freak(from wat i heard). He had gym equipments in his room and he controlled his diet alot. He wasnt overweight neither did he have a bad health history that anyone knew of. He lost his dad about two years back.And his mom last year.It will be very tough for his younger sis and brother.Alhamdullilah, they are grown up. But still...it will be very very difficult for them to overcome the loss of their loved ones. I pray that Allah heals their hearts fast.Ameen.
I have been hearing alot of mauth incidents for the past 2 years. But this one was one of the very few which moved me alot, left me wondering for hours..days.. This one makes me wonder... What ever in life is permanent? we slog days n months...work for money, compete to climb the corporate ladder, fight for recognition, this n that. So much of arguments, jealousy,anger,hatred, discrimination...you fight fight fight n fight..n one day, Allah (s.w.t.) says..ok boy, thats it..times up! n pooooff! everything's gone...you are 6ft under. left all alone...all alone to suffer...the tortures beneath..
I can't express what i feel.. so much of questions,thoughts..i cant just put them into words.
At the end of it all... who can ever guarantee us that we will live up to the next hour beside Allah(s.w.t)? But, in case...Mauth is just around the corner, are we all prepared for it?
Leave your career accomplishments, or ur wealthy status ...or what so ever aside. Like i said, are they ever permanent?
What about your fardh fasts? did u fast during ramadhan? do u make an effort to think of Allah each day? do u thank him often for giving us able bodies and so much much more blessings that are very small yet invaluabe? have u made ur parents proud? or have u made them cry? have u hurt them? ever? would there be anything that you would want to tell to your parents/siblings/friends/spouse?
There are few blessed souls i have heard of who were able to sense when death was nearing them. I wish,Inshallah, Allah allows us to sense our death atleast 1 hour before our time's up. Ya Allah!
Brothers and Sisters, Pray like its your last day. Do each deed right. Keep Allah (s.w.t) , his rasool (s.a.w) and his sunaah in mind. Do your bit proper each day... pardon for your sins whole heartedly,Inshallah, Allah the ever forgiving will forgive you. Its just this day, n this minute that you have. Cry your hearts out to him n seek forgiveness. Beg the Almighty to forgive you.
Sisters who havent start embracing the hijab and procrastinating it to later...Later is just imagination. I suggest, if you are aware that all muslim woman must wear the hijab, do it NOW! NOW!
Stop backbiting and lying.Be truthful, cos Allah watches you no matter where you are and he knows what you do.
Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) said ,' A sin is what you do that you wish noone else knew that you did it,as it will bring shame upon you.'
He also said ' He who wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself,is a true muslim'.
Probably, i have been blabbering through this entire post.I'm not too sure.Sorry if i have. I'm just pretty confused and have been typing whatever that comes out from my mind. I hope to write again in a more composed state. Inshallah.
Wasalaam
