In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

''God gathers up the souls of those who die, and of those who do not die, in their sleep; then He keeps back those ordained for death, and sends the others back for an appointed term. Surely there are signs in this for those who reflect''


Clearly Allah sees in this verse something worth thinking about. When we're a sleep we're dead already but temporary. We might not wake up, that's when Allah decides to keep our souls and not send it back to us. That tells something, we DIE every day. EVERY single day. Surely there's a sign in this for those who reflect.

The question is:

How ready are we to die?


How ready are we to face our God?

This verse scares me every time I read it.. Who knows?!!.. Maybe tonight is my night.. what have I done so far? How many suras did I study..we're not talking about memorizing because knowing the meaning of the verses is much much more important…after that you think about memorizing them..

Hey!! One more interesting thought this verse strongly provokes.. Whether your creator decides to let go of your soul or keep it.. He has got it every night in his grasp.

Yes, it's scary to think about the death part..but there this amazingly sweet sensation coming over me..when I think that my soul that's inside my flesh right now was in his hands just before I woke up… those very hands that he {Glorified be He, the Most High} used when creating the first prophet and the first human being Adam {peace be upon him}.

Can you imagine??

what an honor…what a wonderful wonderful notion..

It's AMAZING..

I wouldn't have realized this fact.. if I hadn't given it a deep thought..

*Allah is the most merciful…he's been giving us this chance over and over..every night..a chance for us to reflect…to think..TO TAKE HEED*


MAY WE TAKE HEED????
