(DAY 11) remember DEATH

Death is inevitable. Everyone, you and me, we all will die. The only difference is, in which state of iman and taqwa are we in when that time comes.

I pray to Allah the All-Mighty so that when the angel of death is infront of me, I am doing something good. Be it on the prayer mat tasting the deliciousness of khusyuk, reciting the Quran, taking care of my husband/children/family..

And forsake me from the evil temptations of satan.

When I saw the youngsters speeding their 'action man' ways on their modified motorbikes on the highways, I feel full sympathy for their lack of thinking- "what if he slipped and with that, not only killing himself, but other innocent motorists"- i call this manslaughter. I dont know how others think about reckless driving.

Repeatedly God has reminded us to do good things upon ourselves and others. I dont count reckless driving as one. Neither drug abuse, nor alcohol, nor pornography. These obvious nasty things are are pointblank satans ways to fulfill their promise- which is to drag us all into hellfire with them. well. i guess the more, the 'merrier'. For, there is definitely NO JOY watsoever there. period.

The best way to hopefully be in a mu'mineen way the day we die, is to maximize the time we spent doing good things when we are alive. If... lets say.. 90% of the day is spent serving God, hence, there are 90% chance that we will die in that state- and this is not a bad number. And also, hopefuly, 90% of the content of our book of judgement are on the Right shoulder. amiin :)

Till then, I pray that the youngsters who've lost their ways, will find their way back to Allah. Those who have sinned (inc myself astaghfirullah) will still have TIME for taubat. And hopefully we all will be given another chance for Ramadhan. amiin.
