💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Even if we take precautions to flee from dying,
Even if we tried to ensure our life is lengthened
By eating healthily and exercising often,
By resting, commuting safely, and quitting smoking,
At some point in time, we'll die when our death is destined.
~•~
Even if global pandemic were non-existent,
Even if on earth there weren't any sick patients,
For as long as Allah made us and we're His servants,
One day or night we'll return to Allah for certain,
Hopefully we die after we've prayed or while praying.
~•~
Anybody can wish for a life that's long-lasting
And try their best to increase their worldly achievements,
Whilst ensuring they're in a secure environment,
But if Allah destines that a soul returns to Him
On such and such a date, none can pause Allah's timing.
~•~
Any soul can plan for their wedding, graduation,
Job interview, studies, or long-awaited mansion,
While frequently asking Allah to grant more blessings,
But if Allah wants someone to die in an instant,
Nobody can stop Allah's Qadr from occuring.
~•~
Even if daily news these days weren't frightening
And if all living things felt safe in their surroundings,
All of Allah's slaves undoubtedly have an ending.
Nonetheless, each soul's landing place is not the same thing.
Pray to Allah that we're from those whom He greets smiling.
~•~
Note: Reminder to recite Surah Al-Mulk once in the daytime and evening so
Inn-sha-Allah we're protected from the grave's torment.
📖 Anas Ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "There is a chapter in the Qur'an, not but thirty verses (Surah Al-Mulk), which will argue on behalf of its companion until he enters Paradise. It is the chapter: 'Blessed is He (Allah the Almighty) in Whose Hand is the Dominion.'" (The Noble Qur'an 67:1)
