Salam aleykoum y’all,

Death is a reality that can strike anyone, at any moment, whether we are young, adult, or elderly. It does not warn us, and this simple fact should make us reflect deeply. Recent events have made me realize just how fleeting and fragile life is. Perhaps we are living our last moments without even knowing it.

Cherish your loved ones, love them sincerely, hold them close, and show them affection while they are still with you. Time is a precious blessing, and it never returns. Take this time to repair relationships, seek forgiveness, and forgive, because tomorrow is not promised.

Above all, draw closer to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), for He is our refuge and our final destination. Death is not an end, but a transition to eternity. Allah reminds us in the Quran:

“Every soul will taste death. And to Us, you will be returned.”

(Surah Al-Ankabut,ayah 57)

This should urge us to prepare for the Hereafter, for this world is fleeting, a place of trials and tests. The wealth, honors, and pleasures of this life are temporary, but our actions and faith remain with us in the grave.

It is essential to assess where we stand in our relationship with Allah. Are we performing our prayers with sincerity? Are we seeking His forgiveness and mercy? Are we living according to His commands? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler.”

(Narrated by Al-Bukhari)

This means we should never become overly attached to this worldly life, for our true home is in the Hereafter.

Finally, remember that death is also a mercy, for it allows us to return to our Creator. For those who live with faith and patience, death is a transition to a much better life, full of peace and rewards. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“The life of this world is the prison of the believer and the paradise of the disbeliever.”

(Narrated by Muslim)

Dear brothers and sisters, let us use the breath of life we have left to multiply good deeds, strengthen our faith, and leave a legacy of kindness. Let us not wait for a “tomorrow” that may never come. Let us draw closer to Allah today and place our trust in Him.

Earlier this week, I received some news that deeply shook me and made me think deeply. It reminded me just how short, fragile, and unpredictable life is. It deeply affected me and made me realize that we never know how much time we have left in this world.

It is a powerful reminder: death can strike at any moment, regardless of our age or situation. Every moment is a blessing that must be cherished. Our loved ones, our friends, our families,everything we take for granted could disappear overnight.

What is certain is that we must use each breath of life to draw closer to Allah and live with intention and gratitude. As He says in the Quran:

“O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared. And do not die except as Muslims [in submission].”

(Surah Al-Imran, ayah 102)

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’oun, may his grave be light.

May Allah guide us, protect us, and allow us to leave this world prepared for the Hereafter. May He grant us a good ending and make us inhabitants of Paradise. Ameen, Ameen..

Salam aleykoum.
