Topic of the Day
To Display The Manners And The Attitude Of A Muslim Who Is Ready To Die
Think that today you are living the last day of your life. Or the last few weeks or months…
Give this a quick thought; "What kind of a person would you be?"...
Which of those matters that occupy your mind have lost all its importance in an instant? Which of those matters – without giving any thought to it- would you dismiss from your mind?...
When the majority of the people who do not believe in Allah or (Allah is beyond that) whose hearths are full of doubts, feel the closeness of death that does not cause a big difference in their opinions. Just like they have been doing all their lives, they will only think about the order they have in their lives and about the things they will leave behind. Their biggest restlessness would be the physical pain that they will endure while they go to their death and the spiritual pain stemming from parting from the life of this world.
Believers on the other hand have a completely different point of view. For a Muslim to learn that he will die in a short while, would change all his life fundamentally. A Muslim is in a preparation towards death and Hereafter ever since the first moment he gains faith. Consequently no big change will take place in that respect. But since he fears Allah greatly and since his conscience is wide open, when he gets such a news, he reconsiders all his life, his morality, his conscience, his attitude, his thoughts once more to the core. With all the means he has, he tries to spend all his remaining time by doing good without wasting even a second of it.
This is the morality that a person who fears Allah and who believes in Allah and Hereafter without any doubt would live by all his life. He should have a profound faith which would make him feel the closeness of death and the Hereafter without receiving the news of a deadly disease, without being in a situation which would make him know that there is only a very short time left in his life.
A person who feels the closeness of death, who knows that he will die, directly tends towards Allah and all he ever wants is to gain the approval and love of Allah. He aims to come closer to Allah with his every word. He uses all his power to be instrumental in making everyone beside him, feel the Might of Allah more sharply and in reminding them the reality and closeness of death and the Hereafter.
Such a person would overcome the earthly matters that he may have difficulty in getting rid off for months or even years, in an instant and without even feeling the need to think about them. This is because such matters almost lose all their importance when compared to him gaining his real life that awaits him.
Every second counts backwards and draws him closer to death. With every moment passing by, he is left with a shorter period of time to do good. He would have an excitement on him, in the positive meaning, which stems from feeling this truth in the most profound manner. He uses all his power both spiritually and physically in order to be able to perform his services more, to be able to fear Allah more deeply, to be able to pray to Allah more candidly, to be able to repent with a more sincere heart, to beautify his morality almost like morality of the prophets, to be able to display his love and respect towards the Muslims in the most perfect manner, to be able to serve Allah, Islam and Muslims with the most candid manner.
Death is close for every person, every moment. A perfectly healthy person can die before someone who has learnt that he will soon die. Death, Hereafter, Heaven and Hell is very close to that person. For that reason, there is no need for one to wait for being informed about his approaching death in order to beautify his morality.
Allah had informed us in the Qur'an about the situation of people who come to their senses when they face death and who ask Allah for permission to turn back to this world and do good deeds.
When death comes to one of them, he says, ‘My Lord, send me back again. so that perhaps I may act rightly regarding the things I failed to do!’ No indeed! It is just words he utters. Before them there is an interspace until the Day they are raised up. (Surat al-Muminun, 99-100)
