DEATH

   Death is nothing but a sudden slip
   Into the pit of horrors called the grave
   Death is a preacher eloquent and blunt
   We are sure to die the way we live

    Those who weep over the dead ones
     Have missed the reality busying with dreams
      Nothing is as scary my brothers in faith
      As the very moment your life will snap.
       

Death's suddenness is amazing indeed,for it gives man no extra second to tidy up things. Standing or sitting, sleeping or walking,laughing or crying,sick or healthy and young or elderly,death can occur,even in the womb, babies' lives are  taken subhanallah! This is to incline living minds towards constant efforts,so that at death we are found prepared.

A poem:
               Call yourself to order and lessen your hope
                Moderate your desire for things mundane
                Act always with caution and never be swayed
               Death is prompt and will never delay
    

   The saintly Amir, Umar bin Abdul Aziz( Rahimahullah) pondered on this very bitter truth and with very teary eyes said to his daughters:"Regulate your desires -being pleased with ALLAH .The truth has been said ,death is surely near,nearer to man than the lace of his shoes. "No believer gets Jannah until he puts his desires in check."

Birth is union and trial my brothers and sisters ,but death is  separation and journey to the unknown, leaving loved ones without grace. DEATH terminates amusement and ruins the best taste. Remembering death an ibadat so sacred,that is most profitable ,while the pillars and every bit of teachings in our Deen lead with deep reflection to the remembrance of death. Eternal fortunes and felicity or endless pains and disaster only commence  with death. Death is a sudden slip to a life of endlessness,death is man's private Day of decision. When a man dies,his Doomsday has come.


       I know I have been lazy in updating but please forgive. I have been a bit busy but in sha Allah I will be updating regularly. Also I decided to write more about death now because it is a reality which people always run away from. Also remember is sudden which means it gives no forewarning so you could be alert, so please do me a favour and kindly take some minutes or hour and check yourself  to know if Allah is to take your life now which  you have no say to such decision, are you ready to meet Allah in such state of yours? If yes, then shukr lil  Allah but if no, please find out what the problem is and work on it. MAY ALLAH TAKE OUR SOULS WHEN HE IS PLEASED WITH US. AAMEEN YA MUJEEBU DUA.
