THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 13th day of Shaw'waal, 1444AH (Wednesday, 3rd May, 2023).
*_THE REALITY OF DEATH_*. Let's read through, ponder on it, fear ALLAH, and change our way of life.
ALLAH says in HIS Message to Mankind in Qur'an that;
"O you who believe! Let not your properties, nor your children divert you from the remembrance of ALLAH. Whosoever does that, then they are the losers. So spend (in charity) of that with which WE have provided you, before death comes to one of you and he says: ‘My Lord! If only you would give me respite for a little while (i.e. return to the worldly life), then I should give Sadaqah (I.e. Zakat - Obligatory charity) of my wealth, and be among the righteous.’ But ALLAH grants respite to none when his appointed time (death) comes. And ALLAH is All-Aware of what you do."
(Qur'an Al-Munafiqun 63:9-11).
Death is a painful 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 which shows that indeed it comes from One having tremendous power - so that the human is helpless in this regard and can only submit to it.
Let's avoid following our heart desires, which goes against the commands of ALLAH. Imagine you dying in fornication, stealing, backbiting, haraam sustenance, in open sins like haraam dating and chatting with non relatives for fun, etc. To be continued tomorrow in shaaALLAH.
*_May ALLAH keep guiding our eemaan and grant us successful ending_*. Aameen.
