All thanks and adoration to the almighty God that created the earth and all in it, take a look at the moon and the stars you realize that God is just so wonderful and no one will be compared to him. We thank him for life, we thank him for waking us every day and making us go to bed each night. Take a look at the sun and the way it shines, take a look at the moon and the way it glows. Who is in control of all this?
Yesterday was just so stressful for me, after every morning duty and all necessary things to be done in the home, laundry, washing of dishes, and cooking. Then I had some time to rest. My initial thought was to take a nap and wake up to compose an article, but after sleeping, I realized I woke up after five hours, which was not the actual plan I had for myself. I had to make an article at exactly 10:30 AM but when I woke up from my sleep I realized the time was just 1:30 AM. So I went to the mosque to pray, then after prayer the chief imam called upon us to wait a little longer because he had some task for us to be accomplished ASAP. We waited behind for him to tell us what ought to be done. Then he said to us “From God we came and unto him, we shall return” we already knew it’s now a matter of somebody’s death.
He broke the sad news to us by telling us that one of the members of the congregation had just come to him to inform him about his little daughter's death. To God be the glory and he wants the imam to help aid him with the burial. We then ask the age of his deceased daughter as he told us she was just five months old. 😢 😢 😢. Not too old to cry much upon her death but there are loads of lessons to ponder for the occurrence.
Death knows no age
Death knows no age, in the fact that when we look at the world we live in today, though it’s been a similar pattern right from the onset of the present world we are as a lesson to us all we realize that death knows no one nor age, the infant that was announced dead never get to know her mother well or even get to know her father who cared for her. She might have started to feel the love but she can’t identify exactly who is who. When her time was up she left even her most caring mother and answered the call.
The same thing goes for some other cases in life where the mother gives birth to a child and leaves the world without the child even getting to know who his/her mother was or who his/her father is. They leave the world and leave their children alone. They would have wished to stay by their side but when their time was up they had no option other than to leave them behind.
Death calls, and it calls for preparation of the unknown time. Husbands leave their wives, parents leave their children and so do brothers leave their sisters, close friends are bound to leave each other when death calls. But one question would always sparkle up my mind anytime I hear about death.
What will I do if I am to leave the world anytime soon?
What would people say about me?
Who would be there to bury me?
Would people pray for me?
What would the grave look like? where there is no light, no fan, no comfort.
These are the questions that come to mind.. let’s ask ourselves “are we prepared??”
We are all going to die one day.
Have a nice day…
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT ❤️
