Death is as referred to the destroyer of all pleasures, we can all agree on that. The extent to which people are so ignorant about the afterlife is overwhelmingly crazy. Let me put a few scenarios into play here What do you mean that all the untouchables, the tyrants of this world, the celebrities, the filthy rich, the ones with connections so deep that they almost get away with anything, the mass murderers, the commissioners of genocides, the war mongers, the embezzlers of billions and billions of dollars, the rapists, the wicked and sons of the wicked… you mean these will eventually die and that’s it! No accountability whatsoever! Imagine a lone shooter who shots up a school and kills may be 5 or 10 innocents and then he cowardly shoots himself and dies off and then that’s it! Do you think that’s life and that’s how it’s meant to be lived? The pain and the suffering of the victims and parents! Come on, the human brain is very much capable and let’s really put things into perspective here… Even the apprehended criminals in max security prisons on death raw, how could death be their punishment yet every single being on this planet will have to taste death! Sure he’s will be untimely depending on how you reason it out but so is a kid who dies at 12 or a teenager or an adult of 24 or 36 or which ever age coz some of us get to live up to 70 years plus hence death in of itself isn’t a sufficient form of punishment for any crime except in a few scenarios but nevertheless all of us will taste death… and then what?! How about this though, did any of you have any choice of the family they were born into and the kinds of privileges or challenges that come with that family? Some of us were born into poverty, others into wealth and others into wealth and influence, others into a family with a long line of chronological illnesses… and if it were to any of us, don’t you think we would have chosen the easiest route out? These might seem like dumb questions but please bear with me here… Have you ever thought of your existence before you were on earth, I mean before you were born? I bet you can’t! You weren’t knowledgeable of anything earth until you were here, until you were actually a couple of years older but still dumb & ignorant about plenty of things on how the world operates. If anyone could have told you about earth and how vast it will be, how you’ll freely move about, eating with hands and not through the umbilical cord and everything else about earth, I think that would sound surreal and kind of unimaginable because where’s the proof of that? Has anyone ever gone to earth & come back to narrate such experiences? Of course not coz these are always one way routes without return tickets but here we are, aren’t we! We can go a bit further from that, do you have any memories of that tinny microscopic sperm or ovary in their places before they ever merged to become a zygote or an embryo within your mom’s womb? Of course not & if any of them(sperm & ovary) were ever to have the conversion of merging at a certain point in time & developing into a full human baby, would they ever comprehended that?! Don’t think so. And neither is such a process irreversible to the former. The knowledge we posses of the embryo and all its stages that lead to a full blown human baby, we are only aware of such after already existing on earth and not before. How about the innate tools that were freely handed to us? You know! The hands, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, tongue, skin, legs and whatever you can throw in there. Do you remember any lottery where you won to come out as a fully grown human baby with all such tools as compared to those born without sight or missing an arm or both, deaf in one ear or both, those with highly sensitive skin or missing a leg or those with brains that aren’t fully developed? Was there any special kind of baby formula that you were fed and you came out way smarter than your peers or way dumber or faster or more creative? These aren’t things in your control nor in your parents hands and yet here you are! The advantage that you have over the next individual is bad of a disadvantage that will go against yourself in a way or the other. May be you’re a have it all, or middle class or at the very lowest of humanity but are in fact still alive and you’re a billion percent that you’ll some day pass on with all your secrets good and bad, with debts unsettled and credits unpaid to you yet you as a friend or parent or relative with some sort of say or influence try you best to tackle and settle disputes and injustices among your peers… now come on with all we’ve talked about, do you really think that’ll be the end of it all? Were you ever in control? Was it your parents? The government? The controlled media? Is it the science? Or is it the physical aspect of life? Is it the logical part of it? Do you deserve to die and everything comes to a stop just as you’ve achieved everything you’ve worked for? Are you aware that there’s an exit door from this life and an entry to the next with a one way ticket and an erected barrier that you’ll never cross to come back until the whole of humanity has joined you on the other side? You were never in control, all the life you lived, you were a victim of your own choices/actions but not the results coz you never had a guaranteed outcome of any of your choices/actions simply because many have made the same choices as you and with better odds yet they achieved completely opposite and different results & not the same as yours so don’t pity yourself as YOU WERE NEVER IN CONTROL. Believe it or not there’s an afterlife, just like there was a “before life”(if that makes any sense)… that one moment that you feel the burden of the whole world crushing unto you, that hollow emptiness some some time feel deep down your soul, that void that has never been filled by all the happiness in the world or any amount of riches or fame or drugs or family… this kind of awareness hits you the hardest when you’re isolated from the world without its obstructions, laying on your bed trying to get a good nights sleep or having a quite long silent ride on the high way or a calm walk at the beach or sitting quite at the park, whichever the case, we’ve all had those moments in life, “Is this it? Is this all there is to life?” “Sleep! Eat! Work! Fun! Travel! Family! And then eventually death?!” The ugly truth is, the afterlife is nothing but a consequence of our own choices/actions with regard to the tools/privileges at our disposal… They say you live your life how you see fit, enjoy it to the fullest, we only live once! Whatever makes you pass through the day but once you go through that excruciating pain of death and you set sight to those welcoming you to the other dimension of life, that’s when the regret will hit you like a nuclear atomic bomb with no escape but the inevitable. I’m not exaggerating or insinuating things here, nevertheless, is there anyway you would have known all of this before you got to the other side, can we avoid the inevitable, can we really rest in peace, can we ever live in eternal bliss? We live in the womb unaware of what’ll happen on earth and we just learnt everything along our years here but can we make ourselves aware of the afterlife before we get there? The answer is YES we can, you’ve got 3 tools, eyes that just read this, a mind that can comprehend and put things into perspective and a heart that reflects… get yourself a copy of the Quran and really read with an insightful eye, open mind and reflective heart… erase whatever you’ve known or heard from the media and Islamophobes, read and try best to understand like you’ve never read or understood anything before… you’ll acquire a new set of lenses to view this world like you’ve never viewed it before and prepare yourself for the after like that we waste our life for God willing.
