Ready or not, some day your Life will all come to an end! There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else. Your wealth, fame & temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, & jealousies will finally disappear. So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, & to-do lists will expire. The wins & losses that once seemed so important will fade away. It wont matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived. It wont matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Even your gender & skin color will be irrelevant. So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured? What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave. What will matter is not your success, but your significance. What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught. What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example, which will Live Forever... KULLU NAFSIN ZAA IQATUL MAUT! Everything that lives shall taste Death! (Surah Al-Imran, Verse 185) Nabi (SALLALLAHU ALAYHI WA SALLAM) said, Remember more often the destroyer of pleasures - death. [At-Tirmidhi] O ALLAH (SUBHANAHU WA TAALAH), I seek refuge in YOU from the punishment of the grave, & from the punishment of Hell-fire, & from the trials of life & death. (Al-Bukhari)
