Life and Death
Assalamu'alaikum (Peace be upon to you) my readers! [LONG POST ALERT =)]
How are you today? Everyone fine today?? Alhamdulillah and may Allah grant all of you good health and happiness, Insya'Allah. In my previous post, I stated that I'll update next year right? Well, Alhamdulillah Allah has given me the opportunity and the time and the little knowledge to share with my readers about this topic -> Life and DEATH.
Err...some of you might wonder...why is did i type out DEATH in caps? Because, to me, it is something that people take forgranted and often see DEATH as insignificant or not a very important issue in their lives. I shall admit that in the past, I used to view death as insignificant, something that is very FAR from me, so I wont be too worried or think too much about it. But I was wrong and Alhamdulillah Allah showed me that my thoughts about it was COMPLETELY wrong. After watching some videos and reading some articles, I realised that Death can INVITE you ANYTIME.
My readers, let me state some misconceptions many people view death or dying as and yes I was one of those who had this misconceptions in the past.
1) You die only when you are old.
2) You die only when you are very ill.
3) Enjoy life to the fullest! Have Fun NOW! Practice Islam when you enter adulthood, then you prepare for death.
Brothers and Sisters, I am sure many of us have visited the graveyard. I'm not sure if some of you notice but do you notice that as you walk at the graveyard and you look at the tombstones on respective graves. Have you noticed the ages? Only ages above 50 or 60? NO! As you walk, you notice all kinds of ages. From infants to toddlers to children to teenagers to youths to young adults to adults to middle-aged adults to the elderly!
Which comes to my 1st point and 2nd point above, you dont die when you are old and you dont necessarily die when you are seriously ill. The thing is...you dont even know when you will die. There is no guarantee to the duration of your life. You can't guarantee that by the time you finish reading this sentence, you'll live. You can't guarantee that by the time you switch off your computer, you'll live. You can't guarantee that when you sleep, you'll wake up! Life and Death is not in your hands brothers and sisters, it has been written in Loh-i-mahfuz and the question to myself, Am I prepared for DEATH? you may want to ask yourselves that as well. I got some videos to share below. My third point will be explained by Imam Siraj Wahhaj in the video below. I hope you can spare some time to view them and benefit from them Insya'Allah.
Here's something that I found for you all and lets ensure with have this mentallity and belief:
My brothers and sisters, let us constantly remind each other not to take for granted of LIFE Allah has given us. It is a privellege Allah has given us. Let us not abuse this opportunity and do good and practice Islam and if we commit sins, lets repent IMMEDIATELY and ask for forgiveness from Allah IMMEDIATELY before it is TOO LATE. We don't know when we will die and I am sure we dont want to regret not being able to be a good Muslim by the time we leave this Dunya. Insya'Allah that wont happen to us and May we recieve the blessings of Allah and granted with husnul khatimah.
I shall end with this,
" It is God [alone that has this power – He] who causes all human beings to die at the time of their [bodily] death, and [causes to be as dead], during their sleep, those that have not yet died: thus, He withholds [from life] those upon whom He has decreed death, and lets the others go free for a term set [by Him]. In [all] this, behold, there are messages indeed for people who think! "
(Az-Zumar:42)
And to end off the year 2009, lets start off 1431 H and 2010 M with this attitude as mentioned in Sura Al-An'am:162
"Say. Surely my prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death are (all) for Allah, the Lord of the worlds."
Jazakallahu Khair. Barakallahu Feek

Here's something that I found for you all and lets ensure with have this mentallity and belief:
"The Muslim realizes that the Angel of death could be behind him AT ANY TIME, that Jannah (Paradise) lies on his right and the fire of hell is on his left. The truth of his actions and their consequences are UNKNOWN to him and as he prays, his heart is moved by SINCERE intent to strive HARDER, work more, study more, forgive more and share more."
My brothers and sisters, let us constantly remind each other not to take for granted of LIFE Allah has given us. It is a privellege Allah has given us. Let us not abuse this opportunity and do good and practice Islam and if we commit sins, lets repent IMMEDIATELY and ask for forgiveness from Allah IMMEDIATELY before it is TOO LATE.
