A person has learned much if has learned that death is surely coming;
Death keeps no calendar;
Death never takes a wise being (Muslimeen) by surprise; he/she is always ready to go;
Death takes no bribes;
Six feet of earth makes us all equal;
No one wants to die;
Yet death is the destination we all share;
No one has ever escaped it;
It is life’s change agent;
It clears out the old to make way for the new;
As a Muslimeen, We are not afraid of death;
Because death is but the beginning of a new life;
Each night, when we go to sleep, we die;
And the next morning, when we wake up, we are reborn;
To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise;
For it is to think that we know what we do not know;
For anything that men can tell,
Death may be the greatest good that can happen to us;
But men fear it;
And that’s a shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know;
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all;
Death – the last sleep? No, it is the final awakening;

“Kulu nafsin zaaa’iqatul mawt;”
