Meditate Death

Death is drawing near. What have you collected?
This is no joke.

What have you got to place before Allah Ta'la?
In this materialistic and temporary world when so many 'importants' are surrounding you…….ask yourself at least once: How have you set priorities?
Think – what is in your mind dangling most of the time?
Today is the day which you planned for. What was your plan for today? To what extent have you seen your dreams and desires come true? What have you got, what have you lost?

Be specific…
How many of verses have you planned to recite today? What happened in reality?
Did you control your eyes? Did you check your tongue? Did you hold back yourself when evil offerings invited?
Calculate…….yes now a calculator is available. Now it is worthy calculating…….

What! - No time..?
Never. That is downright false.
All the time is now….today…here….
This is the time. When it will end there will be no sun shine, no air, no light my dear!

Hey! more calculations to be made: How many friends have you met? What were the major topics of your conversation?
Thoughts, dreams, plans and intentions are engulfing your mind……every now and then new and fresh ones are coming and going, entering and exiting. What is happening exactly?

Who was the Miss Universe 30 years ago? Where exactly she is now?
Great scientists, great artists and great stars – if you believe they have achieved something, my simple question to you is why do you feel proud for them? Why do they influence you so much? What exactly have you achieved through their achievements? Why are we busy with them?

Two things: Leisure and Good health my dear friends….would be wasted and misused; Though having these on hand, people would be deceived. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam has informed it!
What is happening to me? Am I deceiving myself?

I am indulging in unnecessary tasks, I am planning so irrationally, I am taking excessive responsibilities, I am after others' fault finding, I am making BIG arrangements……….. I am day dreaming….

When your day dream will terminate
When you will see who you are
No way, not a chance to reciprocate…..
You are my dear too far.
That would be no illusion my dear
You must cry today; repent and fear…
O friend! Take the best of care
Death is really drawing near
