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?
