*THE UNPREVENTABLE DEATH*

*Have you prepared for it?*

Allah ﷻ says
*كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ ۗ*
_Every Soul shall taste Death._
[3:185]
_
We shall all taste Death, none of us can escape the certain departure from this world.
No matter how much we run or we delude ourselves by planning for tomorrow.
We must remember that *Death will come to us.*
_
Mu’adh ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه reported:
_I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Among which deeds are most beloved to Allah?” The Prophet said, *“That you die while your tongue is moist with the remembrance of Allah.”*_
[Sahih Ibn Ḥibbān 818, Grade: Hasan (fair)]
_
How many people have departed while they were far away from the remembarence of Allah ﷻ ?!
_
So when we remind ourselves of Death,
It is important to then reflect on what we have prepared to take with us,
What we have packed away in our baggage to journey into the Akhirah?
_
The wealth of the Dunya will not suffice
Nor will anything you enjoyed from it suffice, *rather only Good Deeds will suffice.*
_
As Allah ﷻ mentions about the person of the left hand who will say
*مَا اَغْنٰى عَنِّى مَالِيَه*
_My wealth has not availed me!_
*هَلَكَ عَنِّ سُلْطَانِيَه*
_My Authority has left me!_
[69:28-29]
_
So we must strive to accumulate only that which will be of benefit!
_
As Allah ﷻ says
*وَتَزَوَّدُوا فَاِنَّ خَيرَ الزَّادِ التَّقْوٰى*
_So take provision; indeed the best provision is Taqwa_
[2:197]
_
As we move through the world, the best provision for us is Taqwa, because Taqwa is what Inclines us towards Good and Bad,
And if we die upon this, then we'll have died with Taqwa in our hearts and this along with our deeds will suffice us in Akhirah!
_
And no doubt that everyone is a sinner, nobody is perfect!
We need to engage in Istighfaar as much as possible!
Not only will it lighten our load of Bad deeds, it will add to our good deeds!
As Allah ﷻ says:
*إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَأُولَٰئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ ۗ*
_Except He who repents, believes and does righteous action, then they are those whom *Allah will change their sins into good deeds*._
[25:70]
_
All so we can earn Jannah! The eternal bliss, where there is no sadness!
_
May Allah ﷻ ease our affairs and forgive our shortcomings..
*آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ*
