Remembrance of Death - 22nd Ramadaan - S1
Ramadaan 2017, at Musjid ut Taqwa on June 16, 2017
Allah mentions in the Quran that He places noor into the heart of a person. Rasulullah (SAW) mentioned that there are 3 signs of this:
1) A person distances himself from this world of deception.
2) There is an inclination towards the everlasting world of Aakhirah.
3) Preparation is made for the arrival of death in advance.
We are caught up in the vicious cycle of life throughout the year. Ramadaan is a month which Allah gives us the opportunity to meditate and reflect about the life after death, especially during the last 10 days of Ramadan.
When a person is caught up in life then the thought of death doesn't even enter his heart and he brushes the thought of death a side so that the fear doesn't grip his heart. A Believer is one who is desirous of death because he knows that the Aakhirah is more superior. A spiritual aspect of Ramadan is to think of death and to prepare accordingly.
(*Poetry was shared that use to be recited in the Khanqah of Hazrat Shaikh Zakariyya R*)
Tears need to be shed for the time we have lost. Repent and be ashamed over your life that has passed. Now come out of this life of deception and make good of whatever life remains. Hasten towards good deeds because success is in striving. Maximise time in the Masjid during these last 10 days as the environment of the Masjid makes it easy and conducive to do a’amal. Try and cover for up for the year in these last 10 days.
Live in this world like a musafir (traveller). This world is like a transit lounge at the airport. We are in transit for a short while. Our preparation should be for our destination (Aakhirah).A traveller only takes basic necessities. We should own little things. Do not spend on extravagant things. Use and enjoy whatever is within our means. Don't attach your heart to the luxuries of this world. These are all material and perishable things. The intelligent person is one who accumulates as much as possible for the Aakhirah.
