sweet_gal Posted April 29, 2004 Life after death You only live once so sit back and enjoy No time for sorrows so fill it up with joy This way of thinking is totally wrong Our total existence is forever long Life is for eternity its stages are four The first is in the womb, but hold on there’s more The second is from birth until the moment we die The third takes place in the place where we lie Barzakh is it's name until judgement day The fourth is eternity and in heaven we pray! The soul splits from the body at the time we die Then with the angel of death, they both will fly If the person is pious, the angel looks handsome And the wicked will wish, that they could ransom For the pious, the soul is taken on a piece of silk Eventually, they’re in heaven with rivers of milk The evil person’s soul is dragged out with pain Then they know, their life was in vain When Allah (SWT) gives the order, the soul is returned Either to a bed of paradise, or else to be burned The soul is returned, while the family are grieving And then he is questioned while his loved ones are leaving At that time the person will be in such a state He is asked three questions which determine his fate He will be panicking, his heart full of fear When he sees the angels, Munkar and Nakeer He will be asked about his God, religion and what did he say About the person who appears in front of him that day That will be Muhammed (SAW), who can save us from hell The pious will recognise him, but others won’t tell After answering rightly they are saved from the ordeal Of the torments of the grave, which to us seem unreal Their grave is extended and in peace they stay They will praise Allah (SWT) and continue to pray A window of paradise is seen and they sleep in bliss Whereas the unbelievers grave becomes hell’s abyss Creatures are let loose on their fronts and back Their graves close in until their ribs will crack They are in constant agony until judgement day Nothing will help, it will be too late to pray They will know because of themselves, their future is wrecked But they won't have a clue what to further expect For the believer , it passes like a good night's sleep His good deeds have been done, the rewards he shall keep Judgement day will pass like the time for a prayer At the speed of light he crosses the bridge, thin as a hair And before he knows it, he is in paradise Whereas the unbeliever, will be paying his price This life is a journey, death isn’t the end Real life goes on, so don’t just pretend So prepare now, we’re not here to stay Follow islam, the key is to pray Brothers and sisters take this advice You'll be proud of yourself, when in paradise!!

MD Posted April 29, 2004 For the pious, the soul is taken on a piece of silk Eventually, they’re in heaven with rivers of milk So nice, but shouldn't this poem be in the poetry section? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
