If a doctor tells you today: You have cancer in your blood and you will die in a few weeks, there is no point in going to Singapore কী what will you do then? Do you sit in front of the TV wrapped in kantha and watch useless star shows, talk shows, Hindi serials for hours on end? Would you go to the office the next day and chat for hours with colleagues for the last time? Would you buy a video game to make your kids a little happier for the last time, where they get a lot of pleasure from killing a herd of half-dead, bloody zombies with a Ramadan knife? Would you make your daughter a dancer in this situation, join your son in a band, so that they can do them and earn ‘infinite rewards’ for you after your death?
No, you won't do any of these then. But today you are doing exactly that, knowing full well that: whether today or tomorrow, you will die one day or another. Then one day you will be awakened again and then you will be caught and made to stand before the highest power in the universe: to give an account of every moment of your life. What would you say to him that day with your head bowed in front of him — did you keep it right?
For some reason we don't want to worry too much about this. We feel uncomfortable when such thoughts come to our minds. We quickly change the topic of thought. If a friend or relative starts talking to us about it, we quickly tell him, “What are you talking about? It's not good to hear about all these dead-tortoises. Exclude. Let's talk about something else. ”
For some strange reason, we immerse ourselves in a kind of self-delusion that I am one hundred percent sure that I will not die of a heart attack in the next few seconds, or that I will not die in an accident on the way home tomorrow. I have a covenant with God: He will keep me alive until I am seventy or eighty years old. So there is a lot of time in life to do religion-term. Now do as many jobs, business, party as I can before; Watching movies, Hindi serials, walking around the market for hours, spending lakhs of rupees, not enjoying life as much as I can. Can't say, if I die? Then all this will not be done.
When Abraham and Jacob instructed their children, “Fathers, God has chosen this religion for you. So beware, do not die without being completely loyal to Allah (Muslim). ” [Al-Baqarah 132]
In this verse we see that the two prophets warned their children about the same thing: that they should always be loyal to God, so that whenever death comes, their death should be 'Muslim', meaning completely loyal to God. In condition. They should never die in a situation where they were not completely devoted to Allah (Muslim).
This verse is a terrible warning for us. No matter how much we pray, fast, pay zakat, call to Islam, let us never die in a situation where I was not loyal to God. I was doing something, or I was in a situation that Allah hates.
I should never die while watching a bad video on the internet at three in the morning. I should never have died of a heart attack while signing the haram salt paper in the bank. I don't go to parties with friends and die. I didn't die in a car accident while returning home half-naked in a wedding party. I did not die in a haram house, bought in a haram bed, bought with bribe money. মৃত্যুThis will be a death in a state of injustice against the strict command of Allah - in a state of utter disobedience to Allah. Don't let such a horrible, shameful, unfortunate death happen to me.
So before clicking on a video shared by someone on Facebook at two in the morning, I thought ten times: "What if I die watching this bad video?" Before going to a party with friends, think once: "What if I die in a car accident while going to a party?" Before going to my relative's wedding party, I look at myself in the mirror and ask myself:
