THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt. 16th day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Saturday, 6th May, 2023). THE REALITY OF DEATH CONTINUES FROM THE YESTERDAY REMINDER. BismilLah. 

Death is Pre-Established:

Death will occur at a fixed time. The time is, of course, unknown to us. The place, the way in which each of us will die, is known only to ALLAH. The death of each of us has been pre-recorded in a book by ALLAH. It can not be brought about or avoided, so why are we wasting our time palling wealth through the haraam means?

ALLAH says in the QUR'AN;

"Wherever you are, death will find you out, even if you are in the towers built up strong and high..."

(Qur'an An-Nisa 4:11).

Again;

"It is HE who gives Life and causes Death: and when HE decides upon an affair, HE says to it, ‘Be’ - and it is."(Qur'an Ghafir 40:68).

 ALLAH (The Most High) tells us:

"Nor can a soul die except by ALLAH'S leave, the term being fixed by writing..."(Qur'an Al-Imran 3:145).

This is where belief in Al-Ghayb (unseen) plays a big role. As humans, we are deficient in our knowledge, and as such, we grasp that which is before us, comprehend it very well, and use it for our benefit. We see the signs of ALLAH throughout the world before our eyes... the sun, the moon, day and night, oxygen. etc., and it is these that we use to our advantage. However, the unseen, that which we have been asked to believe in without being able to see, is also an area of knowledge that we must grasp and use to benefit us as it contains much concerning our life in the hereafter.  

May ALLAH aid us to understand the wisdom behind HIS creation. Aameen.
