Am I ready?

 Yesterday, a friend of mine passed away. She was only 46 and if I might say, still in the prime of her life. She was on life support for 2 days and her loved ones, family and friends never stopped praying for a miracle but Allah knew best. She succumbed to brain aneurysm but not before putting up a fight. May Allah bless her soul and place her among the righteous.

Am I ready to face my creator? Frankly speaking, a big NO! I have so much unfinished business waiting to be completed. So many more things to learn, to equip myself with what's necessary to ensure my final transition goes smoothly, God willing.

Everyday, I think of death. As macabre as it sounds but I do! The more so after I reached half a century on earth 3 years ago. I can just 'go' anytime, anywhere and anyhow. Our lives are fragile and unpredictable. We may seem healthy and strong with no apparent illness or sickness. But when our time is up, we got to go. No two ways about it, no negotiations for extensions. Death knows no age nor boundaries and everything that lives on earth eventually dies.

Everyday after my obligatory prayers, I will ask and seek of Allah, blessings for me and everybody, good health always, among other things. I ask of Him when it's time for me to go, to please take me at the moment He loves me the most. To take me in the best way possible...In shaa Allah.

There's much that can be said on what we can and need to do in our daily lives but suffice for me to ask of everyone to always do good unto others, always have good thoughts and intentions, always have a pure, clean, heart and mind. Always be forgiving, which I know as humans, it can be difficult...(I have problems in that department too)...considering the severity of the situation and circumstances of course. But once you can forgive, you feel a sense of peace enveloping. You bear no grudges for you know Allah is Most Forgiving and Most Merciful.

Instill in ourselves feelings of sympathy, humility, respect, to name a few. Never ever feel we are above everything too because there is a Greater Power out there. Remember too, we are humans with imperfections. With that said, we are allowed to make mistakes and learn from it too.

In short, all the above are purely my thoughts alone and all of you can beg to differ. I wish the best for everyone and wish all the best in life too for all of you. I humbly seek forgiveness and to be forgiven in return.
