TO ALLAH WE BELONG AND TO HIM SHALL WE RETURN

Prayers !

All living beings in the earth and heavens have a laid down period to be where they are and then return to THE CREATOR. Allah SWT Says in Quran :

All that lives on earth or in the heavens is bound to pass away; but forever will abide your Sustainer's Self, full of Majesty and Glory. AL-RAHMAN (55) : 26-27.

We all have a 'Finish Line' somewhere on the pathway of our lives; good that we don't know its precise location on the chart and there lies the point - certain it is to come; know we don't when it shall. So requirement is to be more Allah-Conscious and prepare for the imminent RETURN.

As I woke up for my FAJAR routine today; I came to know that my next door neighbor Brigadier Doctor Nazir Ahmed Qureshi 'HAD RETURNED TO THE CREATOR' Heart Failure being the reason for departure (TO ALLAH WE BELONG AND TO HIM SHALL WE RETURN). 

I slowly walked over to the house and hugged his young son. I could find that he was crest fallen (every son is) as he said 'Uncle we have been caught unaware - we never expected this'  - Most of us don't. I consoled him telling him that my son Death is 'THE TRUTH' where there are no disagreements - he is gone and responsibility has landed on you to look after your mother and sisters. BE BRAVE AND BE GOOD SO THAT YOUR FATHER IS CONTINUOUSLY REWARDED UP THERE.

Question I asked myself and to you all my friends - ARE WE READY TO MEET OUR CREATOR? Because the Finish Line may just be around the corner.

If yes wonderful but if no then WHY SHOULDN'T WE START THE PREPARATIONS RIGHT AWAY?

Join me in praying that May Allah SWT Grant the highest rewards to the departed soul;

patience and gratitude to his family... 

AND STRENGTH AND BELIEF TO ALL OF US 'TO PREPARE FOR THE MEETING.'

AAMEEN.
