A subtle reminder..
Asalamalaikum all - Greetings of Peace and salutations of warmth from my soul :)
Ina Lila Hi Wa Ina Ilai Hi Rajeun..
(From God Almighty do we come and to Him do we return..)
They say death is a "reminder" to us all about the temporary nature of what surrounds us. And as I said in my post a couple of days ago - it doesn't matter what tradition one adheres to - death will come upon them.
I heard today how someone aged 17 died a few days ago... she visited the same Forum as myself...
Amazing isn't it?
Global chats with people you can't see, hear or speak to; yet people who are somehow connected to you; intrinsically almost. People who can't make out your expressions, feelings and emotions - but who can understand what you mean. Who can't physically do anything to aid you, but whose presence online you sense and feel an element of belonging to. People who you seek advice from though you hardly know their level of knowledge.
Surely Allah Almighty states in the Quran how between the believers is a bond which has been established; a bond which we would never be able to create. Yet a bond that exists despite this.
For why else would tears flow for someone whose posts you have read or replied to?
Why else would you feel a sense of loss for someone whose real identity you don't know?
Why would we sit in prayer for someone we would never see, hear or speak to?
The bond is real. It needs none to testify.
May Allah Almighty Bless her with Peace in the Hereafter and have Mercy on her family. Ameen.
Prayers for all
Wasalam
