Asxabul_kahf Posted April 23, 2006 Every one of this graves you see contains human being just like you. They once used to read articles as you doing now. They too get up in the morning, wash their faces, had breakfast and go to work or learning. They once had people they love and people they admire. Also they cars, houses, clothes and mostly everything you have today. Every one of them had their special moments. They had fun, future plans and different believes. They never imagine that they ONE DAY HAVE TO DIE. Allah said in the Quran: "Every self will taste death. Then you will be returned to us" surah maryam, ayah 57. There is no doubt that every one of us will die day sooner or later. Warning: This Article may become your last thing you see. So take advice from it. Time goes by all of your life, YEARS, MONTHS, DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES AND SECOND. Some people may die in YOUTH some in OLD AGE. As the time goes by, for some reason people ignore this fact that they will become an old and helplessness. It is as if they think they will never grow old. In the days of Youth that they imagine they will never one day become a helplessness creature, and the Youth days are really very short. Young people think these days are very far of. The picture above: The small view of the picture is this lady when she was young, but that one was taken in 1955, at that time this lady never thought she will be OLD. Time destroys Everything that is the law of the world. Are you gonna wait till itcomes to destroy you??? Millions of people die in our time while still young for different reasons like accidents, diseases and viruses like cancer or sudden arrival of that hour. There are many viruses which no cure has being found. A tiny virus is enough to end person's life. Nobody can ever certain that oneday he fall such a disease. A woman who was a businesswoman, she had very good life. She lived in Japan. One day she was taken ill to the hospital. She suffered damage one part of her brian. Her self confidant and wealth illness left her handicap. She was even unable to eat food her own hands. Since she has lost all her memory the career she had worked for all her life no longer held any meaning. A person must consider how meaning less this life is, he must realize the things you have is temporary and it is a test. It is Allah who created man and it is only him who can protect him from danger. Allah can give illness to man to remind him how helpless he is. This is because the World is a trial created by Allah, in this test those who pass, will have happiness here and the hereafter. But those who get caught up with the distraction set by the "sheytan" and the glimmer of this dunya- they will only live a bad life because they turned away from the rememberance of allah. Whoever works righteousness – whether male or female – while he (or she) is a Believer, verily, to him We will give a good life (in this life with contentment etc), and certainly We shall give them a reward (in the eternal Hereafter) according to the best of what they used to do.†[surah Nahl 16:97] whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Qur'ân nor acts on its orders, etc.) verily, for him is a life of hardship in this dunya, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection.[20:124 Taha]" Verily in the rememberance of Allah, do hearts find satisfaction" - Quran (Ar Ra'd 13:28) written by: bro duran Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hodman Posted April 24, 2006 JZK this is something that we insist on forgetting about but it is inevitable. Especially haunting the vision of all those graves and the thought of what might be going on beneath. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asxabul_kahf Posted April 24, 2006 Why, then, when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the dying),And ye are at that moment looking,And We are nearer unto him than ye are, but ye see not - Why then, if ye are not in bondage (unto Us), Do ye not force it back, if ye are truthful? surah (56) verse 83-87 Brothers and sisters, We can deny , we can tend to forget, But rasul s.c.w said the smartest person is he who remembers death often. May allah guide us in the st8 path. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
