DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 1st day of RAJAB (Tuesday 25th of February, 2020).
THE REALITY OF DEATH AHEAD OF US. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
The Messenger of ALLAH (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said:
"Remember much, that which cuts off pleasure: Death, since no-one remembers it in times of difficulty, except that things are made easy for him, nor mentions it at times of ease, except that the affairs become constricted for him."
Saheehul-Jaami’us Sagheer, no 1222.
Many humans live the life of this world, seeking the best that it has to offer, while ignoring what lies ahead of us upon death. The adornment of this world are but temptations to distract us from the true purpose of our life and that we will indeed be responsible for all we do in this life.
Let's note that Death is a harsh and fearful reality faced by everyone who lives. No one has the power to avoid it, nor does anyone around the dying person have the ability to prevent it.
We see and hear many death each day but fails to use it as a reminder to change our ways of life due to the fact that we don't know or ignore what is ahead of us in reality and that's the worse to take in life. Recently I was informed of two separate families dying through car accidents taking the lives of about 4 family members respectively, lets remember the dead ones that may ALLAH forgive them all and grant them Jannat. As we make Dua for others we should be ready ourselves through obedience to ALLAH. Our disobedience, pride, arrogance etc cannot help us in anyway aside stopping the blessings of ALLAH reaching us. Our Islamic communities today are a shame to call ourselves Muslims. Fornications, adultery, gambling, stealing etc are now done for fun as if those people are exempted from death. AstaqfirulLah. We must be crying everyday seeking Allah's forgiveness if indeed we have a clue what's ahead of us.
May ALLAH aid us to face this reality of death with faith and obedience. Aameen.
