💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Contemplate and reflect on how many people died
Unexpectedly, most of whom wished for longer lives.
How many passed away before trying marriage life,
Before completing their studies, or while still a child?
~•~
How many women were widowed while they never tried
Making love or traveling with their spouse far and wide?
How many took their last breath whilst in their beds at night,
And news of their sudden death brought loved ones much surprise?
~•~
How many friends got into arguments due to pride,
Unaware that one of them after some days would die?
How many relatives went without formal goodbyes,
With wills they did not write and huge fortune left behind?
~•~
How many tourists were excited for some fun times
Only to be taken by Allah during their flight?
How many died in car accidents, physical fights,
Earthquakes, floods, or by lightning, with Allah's Will and Might?
~•~
Note to self, and dear human: Death can come anytime.
So prepare yourself to meet Allah each day and night,
With good deeds for Allah and trusting Him as you strive
To do sincere Tawbah before your destined demise.
~•~
Don't wait for clear signs or for Ramadan to arrive
To be inspired to pack your luggage for the next life.
Delete your selfies, albums of songs, indecent files,
And have the guts to detach from forbidden desires.
~•~
For Allah's sake purify your heart. Keep this in mind:
"I've forgiven all Muslims, even those I dislike."
Day and night say Dhikr, and Surah Al-Mulk recite.
Please Allah to be from those who smile when death arrives.
