Fear Death??


Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim
The only thing we are guaranteed in this life is death. Yet finding meaning in your life and the topic of death is still taboo now days. It’s rarely thought about let alone spoken. Our society tells us to fear death, fear the unknown. Why should we be afraid of something that’s bound to happen? That’s a form of ignorance and denial at it’s best. We can dodge it and avoid talking about it but will it get us anywhere? It’s as if were running from our shadow and thinking we can outsmart it. Run faster, we won’t look behind us we're too afraid. So let’s keep sprinting, any direction works. But one day we’re going to be faced with the evident truth. Death is our shadow and its marked upon each and every person.
Either we can turn around now or let it take us at surprise. Whatever you choose it doesn't prevent it from happening. We are not capable of such miraculous things as stopping time and living forever on Earth.
So I propose the question as … why do we act as if we will? As if we have all the time in the world not caring about the consequence of our actions. Fulfilling our days with use-less talk and our nights dreaming about fantasies. Nothing with an ounce of substance nothing with a spec of truth. Dwelling on past mistakes and anticipating days ahead. A time we can never get back and a time we may never see. I feel as if were trapped in a reality that only co-exists with the realities in our head. We’re pre-occupied with what we “think” satisfies our needs. In all our pride and glory we become slaves to our own desires and we don’t even know it. Does Allah not know us better than our own selves?
So why do we turn away and become disobedient to our Lord? God gave us the gift of life and we rejoice. And than God gave us the gift of death and we fear it? Finding a greater purpose awakens our soul. It set’s us free from the chains and shackles of this life. It brings us hope at our darkest hour. It’s softens our hearts and brightens our path to Paradise. It comforts us beyond any words could ever describe. The true question isn’t why we fear death. Rather why do we fear coming back to our Lord the Creator of the heavens of earth?

Issa (Jesus) peace be upon him

Bismillah Raham eh Raheem
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh

Glory to Allah, Prophet Issa (as) preached about the one-ness of Allah. I love how people can speculate and use innovation to mis interuptate the words of Issa (as) but the fact is he was not the Son of God. Does that really make since in the first place…really think about it. May Allah curse those who preached that. Issa never said that.
So who did? Why is this still going on, if it’s not the truth? Well first off bad idea unfortunately get carried along the century. Believe me, for an example ever heard about how George Washington died. He has a severe throat infection, which was cutting of his air supply. And three separate doctors in their ignorance they drained five pints of blood. When he didn’t get better they all thought they didn’t shed enough. We here this story now, and think that’s absolutely ridiculous. So This practice of bloodletting actually as far back as ancient Egyptians, roman Empire and ancient Greeks. It was performed by just about every culture up until1800s. Can you imagine over a span of 3000 year’s a bad idea was carried along. Anyways I didn’t mean to go on in a tangent about the first president and ancient practices. It’s just so relevant to my point right now. A lot of people have these beliefs that are installed into them. They don’t do the research or even look into history. Yet they hold on to what they were raised to believe and they don’t even know why. Back to who changed the bible and why? (By the way that’s also a book. It’s a really good too)
Paul of Tarsus was actually a Jew that converted. He preached the faith to many non-Jewish communities of Greece. He declared himself as an apostle. Yes, a mere human who had no divine right called himself an Apostle. First of all he came 40years after Jesus (As)!! Prophet Issa proclaimed a universal religion, that there is no god but Allah. In the eyes of traditional Romans they believed Christianity at the time of Paul was completely changed. Paul was the one who introduced the idea of the “Son of God”. Yet you do not find that in any Bible or Jesus claiming that himself. The trinity wasn’t introduced until another 300 years. During the 4th or 5th century. Don’t take my word for it just goes read the history books. We see in the Quran and the Bible

*{Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say: "This is from God,” to traffic with it for miserable price! - Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.}* (Al-Baqarah 2:79)

“But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie.” Jeremiah 8:8,

Its sad how bad ideas carry on. It’s even sadder that people don’t think for themselves. SubhanAllah in the Quran we see so many verses saying; “For men with reason” and “There are Signs for people of intelligence”. We are taught to use our mind and reflect, not to believe by blind faith. In Islam we are taught to use our logic and contemplate why were here. I changed my topic 3 time’s before I decided on this one. I tried to make it short this time but Alhamidullah… I was inspired. I asked Azzawajal to make us

If your cups half full it's bound to over-flow

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Strip away the layers and reveal your soul Got to give yourself up and then you become whole You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slowly If you're trying to stay high then you're bound to stay low You want God but you can't deflate your ego. -Matisyahu [king without a crown]


Asalamu Alakyam. This is what happens, when I’m supposed to be studying for a midterm :).Take a journey into my life, open your eyes and see the beauty magnify. To illuminate the heart and remove its shadows from heedlessness and desires. A place where we don't reach for the stars we reach for the heavons. *34 hours until i'm off to Michigan InshAllah.


-To anyone that feels this is for them...I feel the world at your shoulders, the pressures building up. Rising to the top, your waging war with yourself. Can’t stop, Shaytan constantly weighing you down. Struggling to be free while bound with shackles and chains. You slip up, tripping along the way. Your feet stumbling along the path, hitting ever bump and crack. Desperately fighting for your life, fighting for your soul. At a time when all your “friends” around you are pushing you to the ground. Their faces smiling at you watching you drown. Responding with words that are left empty and meaningless. Appeasing to your ears while their heart is filled with deceit. They spit fire at you when you turn your back. Not knowing they're just picking up your slack. They’re telling you to accept the defeat. To walk around aimlessly in the dark while the deaf follow the blind in a race against time.. You watch the days pass by and yet you still feel the same. Only when you look back you see how dramatically you have changed. Trying not to admit the loneliness, fulfilling it with every temporary fix. Looking for help in all the wrong places. Following your desires just with different faces. Going with the flow, that road taking you to places you never wanted to go. Obliging to ever whim can’t control how fast or slow. A glimmer of light appears and you start to re-evaluate your life. A constant fight in a place filled with fitna everywhere you turn. Thoughts spinning in your head that one day you’re going to have to face the Al-Mighty Rabbi Al-Ameen. Judgment days near when this Dunya will soon fade away. Where eyes will be unveiled and truth will prevail. When regret is the only thing you’ll feel. Your begging and pleading if you could only come back for a day and change your ways. The ways you used to take pride in, in those jahellia days. Only if you could see what I see, maybe things wouldn’t be the same? You would abandon those friends and walk away. Start making those first step’s towards Allah on the straight a way.
