Death Is Just A Wall Apart..

It is very natural to indulge in the illusions of hope and thinking that the world is a fine place to live with all your desire and demand. I can see people(including me) living their lives just for the sake of pleasure. Someone has said it perfectly;

"The limit of pleasures are as yet neither known nor fixed, and we have no idea what degree of bodily bliss we are capable of attaining"                   

You may think..Why am I writing  this piece suddenly?Actually from past few days I have been  traveling about 8 km from my home daily. On my way I found something that I want to share with you all.

One day  I was traveling in a bus ,heading towards my destination. I was  at the window seat. I was enjoying the cool fresh air and the wind blowing throughout my hair. Suddenly I found graveyard (named: Bagmari Kabristan) , that was  at the other side of the road ,I ignored. While returning  from the same road I found it at my side . This time I gave a cold stare , a little inside .

The next day same thing happened.  This time I felt something within me - a little eagerness to know what's inside? And this continues to grow just because I  was traveling everyday and watching the same thing .
  I used to get that view while returning at home . The only thing I used to do on daily purpose is greet( Assalam o Alaikum Ahl e Quboor).

I used to try  not to miss a single chance of looking inside. As I knew that I  am a girl and  will never  get this privilege to visit inside the graveyard not even  once in my life. I can get it, but after my permanent sleep. That's why my eyes got stuck all the time. Well my bus crosses the way within a minute .I saw the WALL of the graveyard was just about a distance of sidewalk or footpath.

Physically  I saw there are number of  tombs and only tombs but after someday I noticed something different , different from materialistic things. I found the peace,the silence ,the emptiness inside the air of the graveyard. Each grave is separated to others. They are the special land.

As the month passed time has grown longer that tells  many things behind this peace,behind this silence. That this is the Garden of peace,Indeed.  Now I can see while traveling in the bus sitting at the window seat that at the right side of that wall there is a materialistic world ,full of pleasure,thirst, desires,lust etc and on the other side ( left side) there is our final destination, attaining to final peace just a life after death.

             
We are very well known about the fact that our lives are full of trials. Then why are we so ignorant? Why are we conscious about this worldly life? Everyone is scared of dying and rightly so. But we all know that afterlife will be  rewards or punishments which will be commensurate by earthly conduct. Remembering death is the most important thing because that's based on our faith(Iman). Still we are not turning to our Lord.

         
I can sense at one side of the wall has many things like  my mothers love,all the comforts of my home,conveniences,friends hangouts, material pleasure,family pleasure,my social life ,my professional life,my personal life ,Facebook chats,Twitter tweets, future thoughts ,career plans  and lot  more but the other side is totally different. There is no one to answer. There is just desolateness. There is   dust  and just a dust. I can see the great difference between the two sides of the wall. One side is full of lives and the other is lifeless land. Hence we are made up of dust and going to be dust one day. Death has to come and we have to taste the taste of Death.

Our Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) has stated

  " What have I to do with worldly things? My connection with the world is like that of a traveler resting for a while underneath the shade of a tree and then moving on"

That means everybody will leave us one day .The day when we stop breathing. So why are we bothering about this life? Why are we not concerning about the life after death? It is just because we have indulge  in this worldly material  ,physically as well as mentally. We are seeking pleasure for this life  . Indeed, the pleasure of the world are deceitful. These are the greatest incentive to evil.

Allah says in the Quran:

And they say," There is not but our worldly life;we die and live(i.e some people die and others live,replacing them) and nothing destroys us except time." And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming.  And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences,their argument is only that they say, " Bring [back] our forefathers,if you should be truthful." Say, " Allah causes you to live,then caused you to die;then He will assemble you for the day of Resurrection,about which there is no doubt," but most of the people do not know (Quran, 45:24-26) 

Oh Allah ,please protect and guide our hearts,please protect  us from Your anger ,please protect us from Your punishment,please protect us from Your wrath . Oh Allah ,provide us taqwa(fearful awareness of Yours) and protect our eyes from things that should not be seen  (Ameen).

 For sure everything is ending because Death is just a wall apart.
