the matter of life and death

The value of life.
Can we disregard the fact that our lives belong to Allah? That anything we do to prevent our lives from losing is useless? All those precautions, all those rules.
It was mentioned in the Holy Quran, when the time comes for someone to die, it will come not a second late, and not a second early.
We are destined to what has been written since the day we were born.

But...What has happened in my Uni, was certainly tragic. Something that I will not forget, though the deceased was not a friend I know. Still, I felt terribly sad to what has happened. I can't help feeling the loss when I read the printed news in one of the Malaysia's tabloid.

That was the link for the news.
I am grieving over this sad, shocking and unpredictable event. Though a lot can be done,which were not - we cannot deny the fact that his time has come. His sudden death made me wonder,how is mine going to be? When will be the last second I breath ?
Most important question of all...
Am I READY to face the Mighty Allah ?
And to my greatest fear... I know I am not.

I think I learnt something from this tragic accident. ( As I strongly believe that everything that happened is meant to teach everyone a little bit of something).
That life is a valuable thing, but fragile. And life does not belong to a particular someone. We live with everything being borrowed from Allah. When the time comes, we have to return it back-no excuse, and with nowhere to run. I am scared. Very scared. When I think or try to think about what is going to happen to me, with me..being a bad person while I have lived.

All I can do,all the rest of us can do, is just go through our normal daily routines, and hope for the best outcome. Try to perform good deeds and then hope that we all will die in peace, and as good persons.

Al-Fatihah to Khalis, the boy who has just passed away.
May Allah bless you.
