DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Arba'a, 7th day of Muharram 1447AH, Wednesday, 2nd July 2025.

ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE LIFE JOURNEY? BismilLah. 

This seems funny but a serious matter to reflect upon. When we are leaving this world for the next one, it shall be like a trip to another country.

Where details of that country won't be found in glamorous travel brochures but in the Holy Qura'an and the Authentic teachings of the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam

Where our plane won't be any airline but land Janazah. Alhamdulillah, my country Ghana doesn't even have airlines, so you better prepare to use land Janazah and leave politics alone. 

Where our luggage won't be anything but our deeds no matter how heavy they weigh.

Where our dress won't be a Pierre Cardin suit or the like but the white cotton shroud. Where our perfume won't be Channel, Paco Rabanne, but the camphor and attar.

Where our passport will only be Al Islam. Where our visa will only be "Laa Illaha Illallah." Where the air hostess won't be a gorgeous female but the Angles of Death.

Where our place of destination won't be any Terminal but the last Terminal Graveyard.

Where there is no need for Customs Officers or detectors. Where the transit airport will be Al Barzakh. Where our final place of destination will be either the Garden under which rivers flow or the Hellfire. This trip does not come with a price tag. It is free of charge, so your savings would not come in handy. This flight can never be hijacked, so do not worry about terrorists 😊.

This flight is always punctual. It arrives and leaves on time, so prepare to pray on time before Land Janazah arrives. 

Do not worry about booking this trip, it has already been booked.

Ah! At last, good news! Do not worry about who will be sitting next to you. You will have the luxury of being the only passenger. So enjoy it while you can. If only you can! One small snag, though, this trip comes with no warning and no return ticket anyway, so let's prepare well to stay there happily.

Are you prepared???....you better be! May ALLAH Azzawajal aid us to prepare well through our obedience to HIS commands. Aameen.
