I remember it was about two and a half years ago… I was in the bedroom and he was in the living room. I waited a few minutes after he arrived and then I went to the living room to greet him. Then we all had a huge lunch together and he was a really, really sweet guy. After eating, he stayed a few more minutes and he left because he had a long trip to make out of town. Just thinking about this… makes me want to burst into tears. This was the first and certainly the last time I will ever see him again in this world.
I was in bed this morning, when I heard someone say in a pretty loud, shocked voice to the phone, "He's dead?!!! He's really dead?!!!!!" I didn't know who this was all about, so I slowly got out of bed because I wanted to stall as long as possible before finding out who it was. I was scared to death because I did not want to know who died for fear of it being someone I knew. I went straight to my mother and found out who has died… It turned out it was the person I mentioned up. The only correction is, he was murdered…
This shows us how fast death could come and to no one specific. Everyone has their time of death and they can not avoid it.
May God rest your soul! May God have Mercy on You! Ammeen.
Allahu Yarhamak Wayftah lak aboab Al-Jannah. Ammeen.
Please make dua'a for him.

Do your self a favor
How do you KNOW you will go to heaven? How do you know you will pass Gods test?
What if you fail His test and are found guilty of breaking His Law?
If we break His Law then how can we become innocent again in His sight?
This is the heart breaker...........nothing. There is nothing WE can DO to repay our debt.
Nothing. But wde were givin a gift....a pardon....the blood of Jesus Christ.
He did something for us however. Salvation of our own souls (sin(debt) could only be paied(forgiven) with blood. Now not just any blood. But the Blood of the Lamb. Pure blood sinless blood. The Blood of Jesus Christ.
God died for us all because he loves us so much. Trust in Jesus Christ alone for the salvation of your soul. He is the only way.
Someday whaen you stand before Him and He askes you "You are guilty, why sould you be let into heaven?" you won't say "because I was never late to prayer, or I was a good muslim, or I read the qu ran daily"
No "I should be let into heaven because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ having spilled His blood my debt (sin) was paied (forgiven). "
First, I don't believe Jesus is God or God's son. I believe Jesus is a great and amazing messenger and prophet of God.
Second, I don't believe Jesus died for anyone's sins. Each person in this world is responsible for their own sins and actions. Are you telling me, if I kill someone you will be held responsible for my actions? No, of course not, so Jesus is not responsible for anyone's actions.
Third, I know my God as a Merciful God, who sent me into this world to obey and worship Him and Him alone. I know that as long as I pray my five prayers, fast on the holy month, give to charity, go on a Holy pilgrimage and worship God alone, I have fulfilled the pillars of my religion. I know that as long as I believe in Allah, the Angels, the messengers, the Books, the Last Day, and the Divine Destiny and that the good and bad of it, then I have fulfilled my pillars of faith (iman).
I know that as long as I am following God's words in the Holy Quran and as long as I follow the ways of the last Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him), I am fulfilling my duty as Muslim. I know that with all this, I still have a long way to go and I should strive even harder. I appreciate you making me aware of how hard I should work to please my Lord. Nothing comes easily in this world, just like you have to work hard to get into a good college, or succeed at a job interview, I have to work hard to please God Almighty. However, I have the personal satisfaction of knowing that I have found the correct way of life and I am on the straight and righteous path. I don't need anyone to sacrifice their blood for me, I will clear my own sins by worshiping the Almighty God, the Creator of mankind.
