assalaam wa 'alaikum,
this topic scares me but insha allaah some day everyone has to taste death.it is really an unavoidable event and we must prepare for it. i would just like to share with you a poem..............
OPERATION DEATH
this is the tale of an average man
who acts contrary to allaah's plan
if you are reflected herein
then repent and commit no sin
it was early in the morning at four
when death knocked upon a bedroom door
who is there?the sleeping one cried
i'm isreal. let me inside
at once the man began to shiver
as one sweating in deadly fever
he shouted to his sleeping wife
don't let him take away my life
the angel knocked again and again
friend. i'll take your life without a pain
it is your soul that allaah require
i came not with my own desire
bewildered, the man began to cry
o angel, the man began to cry
o angel, iam so afraid to die
i'll give you gold and be your slave
don't send me into the unlit grave
let me in,o friend the again said
open the door get up from your bed
if you do not allow me in
i would walk through it like jinn
the man held a gun in his right hand
redy to defy the angel stand
i'll point my gun towards your head
you dare come in, i'll shoot you dead
by now the angel was in the room
saying oh friend prepare for your doom
foolish man angel never die
put down your gun and do not sigh
why are you afraid tell me oh man
to die according to allaah's plan?
come smile at me do not be grim
be happy to return to him
o angel i bow my head in shame
i had no time to take allaah's name
from morn till dust,i made my wealth
not even caring for my health
allaah's command i never obeyed
nor five times a day i never prayed
a ramadhaan came and a ramadhaan went
but no time had i to repent
the hajj was already fard on me,
but i would not part with my money
all charity i did ignore
taking luxary more and more
sometime i sipped my favorite wine
with flirting women i sat to dine
o angel i appeal to you
spare my life for a year or two
the laws of qur'aan i will obey
i'll begin salaat this very day
my fast and hajj i will complete
oh human you have done enough wrong
you bought good properties for a song
when the farmers appeal to you
you did not have mercy it is true
paradise for you i cannot tell
undoubtedly you will dwell in hell
there's no time for you to repent
i'll take your soul for which i am sent
the ending however is very sad
eventually the man became mad
with a cry he jumped out of bed
and suddenly he fell down dead
o reader take moral from here
never know your end maybe near
change your living and make amends
for heaven on your deeds depends..
SUBHANALLAAH that was great. please my brothers and sisters let us not waste our time in doing worldly things that would not benefit us in the hereafter..please comment it would greatly be appreciated..
wassalaam,
khadeeja!
