Death And Then The Ultimate Return

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Death is a harsh and fearful reality faced by everyone who lives. No one has the power to avoid it, nor does anyone around the dying person have the ability to prevent it. It is something which happens every moment and is encountered by the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the strong and the weak. They are all the same in that they have no plan or means of escaping it, no power, no means of intercession, no way to prevent it, nor to delay it; which shows that indeed it comes from One having tremendous power - so that the human is helpless in this regard and can only submit to it.

So in Allah's Hand alone is the granting of life and in His Hand is the return of what He gave at the appointed time and after that allotted life apsn, whether the people are in their houses amongst their families or striving to seek provision or striving for 'Aqeedah (correct belief).
Reward and Recompense are with Him and he has full knowledge and power.

So the return of all is to Allah and they will be raised up before Allah, having no place of return except that and no destiny but this one. So they will differ from one another only due to their deeds and intentions and according to the way they followed and their seriousness in that. But with regard to their end, then it is one, death at the appointed time, after the decreed [time] span and then the return to Allah and the Ressurection on the Day of Gathering of mankind. Then Forgiveness and Mercy from Allah or His Anger and Punishment.

So the greatest fool is the one who chooses the wretched fate and he is certain to die, whatever happens.
