DEATH AND THE JOURNEY AFTER DEATH
➖➖➖
Fear That Day
➖➖➖Allah ﷻ says in the Qur’an:
وَاتَّقُواْ يَوْمًا تُرْجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ
And fear the day you will return back to Allah.
[2:281]
Scholars are of the opinion that this was the last ayah to be revealed in the Qur’anAllah reminds us of some events hurtling towards us.
This day is the day the last breath passes your lips, this day is the day you will see the unseen, this day is the day, your soul will be extracted from your body, this day is an end of life and a moment of everlasting separation of man with his life.
This day…
Is Death.Allah ﷻ says :
وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا لَعِبٌۭ وَلَهْوٌۭ ۖ وَلَلدَّارُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
And the worldly life is not but amusement and diversion; but the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allah, so will you not reason?
[6:32]Allah ﷻ says about it
وَجَاءَت سَكْرَةُ الْمَوْتِ بِالْحَقِّ
And when the Pangs of Death come in Truth.
ذَلِكَ مَا كُنتَ مِنْهُ تَحِيدُ
That what what you were trying to avoid!
[50:19]Wallahi,
How does the one burdened with sin, small or big, not feel fear at the mention of Death?Isn’t it only logical to follow the path of the righteous ones who sought Death in order to meet Allah ﷻ?
Think!
Repent and Turn back to the straight path!Backing back to the last ayah of revelation
The second part of the advice:ثُمَّ تُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
Then every person shall be paid what he earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.
[2:281]Then Allah ﷻ reminds us of the Second day…
The Day of Rising!
The Day of Gathering!
The Day of Accounting!
The Day of Judging!
The Day of…
Qiyamah!Ibn Umar رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler along a path.”
Ibn Umar رضي الله عنه would say, “If you make it to the evening, do not wait for the morning. If you make it to the morning, do not wait for the evening. Take from your health for your sickness, and from your life for your death.”
[Sahih al-Bukhari 6053]Allah ﷻ says
أَيْنَمَا تَكُونُوا۟ يُدْرِككُّمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ وَلَوْ كُنتُمْ فِى بُرُوجٍۢ مُّشَيَّدَةٍۢ ۗ
Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you should be within towers of lofty construction.
[4:78]The Angel responsible for the commencement of this day, has the trumpet to his lips until Allah ﷻ gives the command!
So shouldn’t we be preparing for Qiyamah?
The ultimate test wherein our eternal abodes will be made known to us?
If I asked “do you want to enter Jannah ?”
All of you would say Yes!Yet our actions say otherwise!
We sin without repentance and we don’t worship as we are commanded…
But we want Jannah? How can we?
Think about it…==============================
