Time continues to flow rapidly towards death

I have a sad story. Last week, death came to my dear brother, who has been in intensive care for a while. Even when his doctors were saying "he's going to multi-organ failure", I never lost my hope, but that's how long it took. Isn't the life of every living thing up to an appointed time in the sight of God?

He called me one day while he was in severe pain between two amputation surgeries. "What is the truth of what I've been through, beyond the obvious?" she asked. “This is the life of the world, my dear,” I said, “all reasons are a curtain. Your troubles, your difficulties, your pain, your illness; all. Behind that curtain are you and your Lord.” God was creating special reasons for us for the result he wanted. He actually knew these things, as if he was asking for confirmation.

So it was God's will, the result that was good for him. The difficult illness he had experienced from his childhood to the present is over, the nights he spent in pain without sleeping, all his pains are over, his 'exile to the world' is over. My brother has met his Lord, to whom he is bound by an unshakable bond that never loosens even in the most difficult times.

We are all in search of a 'close friend' in life. We are looking for a loving, loyal friend who will be with us in our happy and difficult times, who will watch over us, support us in solving our problems, and will not leave us alone in our sickness and old age. Although we did not seek each other, God brought us together and made us brothers.

Brotherhood is loving one another for God's sake. This love is uncorrupted by any concern for worldly interests. The love of believers is deep because it springs from the love of God that fills their hearts. Brotherhood is enjoying being together, giving hope to each other, wanting for his friend what he wants for himself. We did not share the same mother's womb, the same house, but we shared our troubles, our joy, our secrets, our coffee, our table and our lives. That's why he was my brother.

True brotherhood is loving a person only for his good morals. Friendships built on sincerity are permanent. Your brother is sincere; inside and outside are one, honest, open and clear; he reveals his true character without hiding his thoughts, without trying to show himself different from what he is. A person is valuable at the level of sincerity, because he is sincere, that person is trusted and loved. We need loyal, sincere friends whose tongue is the same as in their heart, and whom we believe will not turn our backs on. We need such friends, such brothers. He was.

Undoubtedly, the brotherhood that we all need is a great blessing. Being aware of this blessing, we stood by each other in good and bad times, we wanted for each other what we wanted for ourselves, we wanted happiness for each other as much as we wanted for ourselves, we prayed. For both this world and our hereafter.

The life of this world is very short; Time continues to flow rapidly towards death. Life goes by so fast. Death is only the end of the test in our worldly life. There will be a moment when everyone, without exception, will see and accept the reality of death. Even the healthiest, most flamboyant person will one day go under the dark soil.

Now his absence has already created a void in my life. Rest in peace. Even though he hasn't been able to walk for years, "why me?" Let him get the best reward for not saying that by walking on the roads of paradise and trying on the most beautiful shoes in the bazaars of paradise. May he bestow upon my dear brother the best reward for the loyalty, unwavering devotion and patience he has shown while facing his difficult illness for years.
