Death
Submitted by Mohammed Gilani on
The western philosophers hate death. The proof of Allah’s existence
is death. No man wants to die. We see people that are lying in
hospitals on life support machines, ventilators, etc. but the law of
Allah Ta'ala is absolute.
Who desires old age? every person wants to
remain young. If a person doesn’t want to live to old age then the
simple solution is that one should die young.
Is there any doctor, Nabie, or Wali that can stop death?
This proves that the world is not
our object but Aakhirat is the object of our lives, but we don’t
prepare for Aakhirat in fact we prepare for those things which we
will leave behind.
This is like a person that is at a transit lounge at
some airport yet he changes the frames and carpets at the lounge.
He is there for a few hours and will then leave.
The Dunya is a transit lounge. We are stationed here temporarily
and soon we will have to leave and never to return.
جس دنیا سے ہمیشہ کو جانا
اورپھر لوٹ کر کبھی نہیں آنا
یہ ہے ارشاد قطب زمانہ
ایسی دنیا سے کیا دل لگانا
The world which a person will have to leave permanently and never
return to
The Qutub of the time says, Where can one attach himself to such a
Dunya.
Doctor Abdul Hay Aarifi (Rahimahullah) says,
قدم سوء مرقد نظر سوء دنیا
کدھر جارہے ہو کدھر دیکھ رہے ہو
You are heading towards the Qabr but your gaze is still on the Dunya
Where are you heading towards and where are you looking?
At every moment we are moving towards our Qabr even though
outwardly it seems as though we are sitting, but we are moving closer and closer towards our Qabr, yet our minds are in the Dunya we'll be leaving behind.
We want more
degrees, purchase this franchise, that property, etc.
A driver looks at
the rear view mirror and side mirrors occasionally but if a person
turns his head to the back and drives how dangerous isn’t it?
We
notice the two year old kids enjoy their game of chasing each other.
They running but they looking behind because of which they bump
into the door or wall or they bump each other. These are kids, we
have reached 55 but our childhood hasn’t gone.
We are chasing the
world which is a bubble or a shadow. A bubble will eventually burst,
as for the shadow there isn’t any benefit in chasing after it.
