﷽
Be ready for it
The Shaykh shares a story of how he saw, a policeman bring in a patient to the hospital for urgent medical attention, the Policeman suddenly convulsed and coughed and turned red… They took him in, soon came the news, the Policeman had died.
Just like that.
This is how Death comes. No warning.
_
As Allah ﷻ says
كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ۖ
Every Soul shall taste death.
[29:57]
_
But we forget this Ayah.
How many of us died partying in a club? Did they think they would die there?
_
How many of us died in the middle of Haraam relations in a dark room? Did they think they would die there too?
_
How many Brides died on their wedding day, amidst the music, dancing and Jahiliyyah at the wedding… Did they think they would die at that time?
_
How many men and women died in Jahiliyyah, thinking youth was their time of fun and games? They thought they would die in old age
_
Do we really acknowledge that the Angel of Death could take our Soul the second after we have read that Ayah?
_
Wallahi. Death comes for us all. You may strive to earn Millions and make yourself a Jannah in this Dunya, but you will die, and your high tech security won’t stop the Angel of Death, your Money won’t be exchanged for deeds
_
Death comes for us all.
You may not earn much! And you may just have enough to live, but know that your poverty won’t be an excuse for you on Qiyamah, after the truth came to you and you turned away.
_
Turn back to Allah ﷻ and repent, because Wallahi, You will be accounted for all your deeds by Allah ﷻ.
As Allah ﷻ says
ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُوْن
Then to us, you will be returned.
[29:57]
_
Ya Ibn Adam! Practice Piety in the morning as if you would die in the evening, practice piety in the evening as if you wouldn’t reach morning.
Ya Ibn Adam! Death hastens towards you, while you ignorantly sit.
Do what is obligatory upon you,
And avoid the punishment of a fiery pit.
_
Ya Allah! forgive us and make us of those who die in a state of Imaan, make us of those who die as a Shaheed, make us of those who you have taken while pleased with them.
آمِيْن
