Pt1- Important reminder on Life and Grave

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu. May Allah (S.W.T) grant everyone good health and persistency to keep up the Imaan. Bless us all to visit His house for the pilgrimage again and again, and bless us with a good end, a blissful death, Aameen Summa Aameen.

Pray, pray for me please that Allah (S.W.T) keep helping me write these beautiful words of reminders for everyone including me! Cause this is the toughest thing to do, more than writing any sort of other genre stories etc. Alhamdulillah I had been able to do good so far, I will keep doing In shaa Allah so please remember me in your precious Duas.

So, just a thought came up in my mind and I thought to share with you all! Things we take lightly in our life. It's not just a saying that, what you have been blessed with, is something, someone else is praying for! Never be ungrateful even for the slightest thing, cause their is someone in this world less blessed than you!

The thing that we take for granted foremost is our own life! Truly I don't know why but people think okay we will live up to 70's or up and then die. That's not happening guys, cause I mentioned this before and even now that we never know when we meet someone last.

ALLAHU AKBAR! May Allah (S.W.T) grant us an understanding, Aameen.

You may think I am repeating the same things I have written in my previous chapters, but no, I am not talking about death in this chapter, you will be reminded about it indirectly, but in this chapter I want you all to think what you have achieved for your Akhirah? What you have done with your life till now and what your doing! Don't be in an assumption everyday that you will live for more years to come! Allah (S.W.T) knows best for everyone!

As one of the 5 hidden keys that is mentioned in Surah Luqman which is only known to Allah (S.W.T) is about where we will die!

"Indeed, Allah [alone] has knowledge of the Hour and sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted." (Al-Qur'an chapter 31 verse 34)

Few days back when I woke up for Fajr Salah, Alhamdulillah. What I realised was, their was an announcement made in Masjid that someone died. A realisation struck me that the thing we take for granted, our life, is not in our control and that's why I felt this Hadeeth so relatable at that moment! And I understood it's true meaning.

Ibn 'Umar said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, took me by the shoulder and said, 'Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveller on the road."

Ibn 'Umar used to say, "In the evening, do not anticipate the morning, and in the morning do not anticipate the evening. Take from your health for your illness and from your life for your death." [al-Bukhari]
