Every single human being Muslim or non-Muslim
Believer or non-believer.
Religious or non-religious
Believes in the existence of god or doesn’t believes in the existence of god
Every single human being believes in
But the thing is it is forgotten
And it is constantly forgotten not only by the disbelievers
not only by the non-Muslims
Even by us as Muslims, we forget about death
Because if we really remembered death
And we remind our self of death
We would not be doing a lot of the sins that we do
We would not be committing a lot the sins that we fall into
We would not disobey Allah (SWT)
That’s why the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
Constantly remind yourself of the destroyer of desires
Majority of mankind are the slaves of their desires
They follow their desires
They do exactly what their desire wants them to do
Even if it's wrong
Even if it's harmful
Even if it's evil
We follow our desires
But that moment that you remind yourself of death or you know that you'll be dying
Then you no longer become the slave of your desire
You become the true slave of Allah (SWT)
If anyone is diagnosed with illness or a disease by the doctor, and he says you only have a few months to live
Watch their character change
Watch their life turn from one angle to another
Watch them repent
And it's good
But what saddens me is
We wait for a doctor to tell us you going to die
And yet it's not enough when Allah (SWT) says
Every soul shall taste death
Shall taste death
Shall taste death
Regardless how powerful they are
Regardless how weak they are
Regardless how rich they are
How prestige they are
How influential they are
No matter what’s in their hands
And how much they are protected in this world
They all shall taste death
Everyone shall taste death
Everyone will experience death
Not only human beings, even the jinns
Even the jinn will taste death
And not only human beings and jinns
Even the angles will taste death
Of Allah will taste death
And the only one that will live and never die is Allah (SWT)
The lord of death and life
