Ibraheem Menk – Visualised The Day

			Have you ever thought of the day that
		

			you shall be carried and you
		

			won't be the carrier?
		

			People will carry you on their shoulders only
		

			to lower you into your grave.
		

			Have you really thought about, have you visualized
		

			that day?
		

			Have you imagined yourself being washed, another person's
		

			hands on your body, them
		

			shrouding you in a cloth and taking you?
		

			Think about the planks being put above you.
		

			Think about the sound of people throwing dust
		

			on those planks.
		

			Think about the people standing by your grave
		

			after they've buried you.
		

			Think about the footsteps that you'll hear as
		

			they leave you all alone.
		

			It doesn't matter whether that's your mum or
		

			your dad or your uncle or your aunt,
		

			none of them will stay with you.
		

			Or your son or daughter, none of them
		

			will stay with you.
		

			وَلَقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَ فُرَادًا And you
		

			have come to us single كَمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَوَّلَ
		

			مَرْرًا As we created you first, in the
		

			first time, the first time Allah created you
		

			alone.
		

			You're going back to your origins, to Allah
		

			Rabbul Izzati wal Jalal.
		

			Now think about the person that you hate,
		

			and think about the person you don't want
		

			to say salam to, and think about the
		

			person that you're disputing in court, in the
		

			lowly courts of this dunya.
		

			What does that dispute matter?
		

			What does that money matter?
		

			What does any of it mean?
		

			What's the value of that now?
		

			If you haven't really thought about death, I
		

			really need to ask you, are you living?
