Dear Islamic brothers! Have you heard! That person thought that by fleeing many miles away from Malak-ul-Maut he would disappear from his sight, then perhaps he would succeed in escaping death. But alas! The place where his death had already been recorded, he reached there himself. Remember! Death does not spare anyone, every living being must taste death. It is stated in Ayah 35 of Surah Al-Ambiya, part 17:

كُلُّ  نَفْسٍ   ذَآىٕقَةُ  الْمَوْتِؕ-

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Every soul shall taste death.

(Part 17, Surah Al-Ambiya, Ayah 35)

Regarding this blessed Ayah, a renowned commentator, a great thinker of the Ummah, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: Whether it is a human or jinn or angel, except Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ everyone has to die. And everything is mortal. (Noor-ul-‘Irfan, pp. 117)

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you heard! The Holy Quran is making this announcement in very clear words that everyone has to die; no one can escape from it; despite this if we do not prepare for it, then it will be very unfortunate for us. If a person attends a very lavish, joyful and lively party, and suddenly he is given this news that right now a soldier will come and will lash you five times in front of everyone, then surely he will lose his interest in the party, but death is following us every moment, and can grab (approach) us at any time with all of its difficulties, nonetheless we are still heedless.

گو پیشِ نظر قبر کا پُرھول گڑھا ہے

افسوس! مگر پھر بھی یہ غفلت نہیں جاتی

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
