FAJR REMINDER: A PAINFUL TRUTH!
By: Umm Affan
Jumādā al-’Ūlā 29, 1447 (20-November-2025)
Are you ready? Do you think you are too young to begin the journey of no return? Think again! A minute old dies, and indeed, some do not make it to this world. One of the great mysteries of death is that none of us can predict when, where, or in what condition it will strike us. When the appointed time arrives, there will be no delay. Allāh states: “To every people is an appointed term; when their term is reached, neither can they delay it nor can they advance it an hour (or a moment).” [Sūrah Al-A’raf (7): 34]
This journey is inevitable. We should not fall into the same mindset as the Jews, to whom Allāh instructed Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) to convey: “Verily, the death from which you flee will surely meet you, then you will be sent back to (Allāh), the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will tell you what you used to do.” [Sūrah Al-Jumu’ah (62): 8]
Always keep in mind and be ready for the ultimate destroyer of desires – DEATH! It is that which severs our pleasures. With every passing second, understand that death draws nearer. Death is simply a painful truth; do not be too attached to worldly possessions.
No matter how much of this world you acquire (legally or illegally), you will eventually leave it all behind. None of it will accompany you into the hereafter. What will endure beyond this life are your good deeds. Allāh advises: “O you who believe! Fear Allāh and keep your duty to Him. And let every person look at what he has sent forth for the morrow, and fear Allāh. Verily, Allāh is All-Aware of what you do.” [Sūrah Al-Ḥashr (59): 18]
This world is not worth sacrificing the goodness of the Hereafter for.
I beseech Allāh to make us true believers and to bless us with a happy ending. Aameen.
