Dear Islamic brothers! Verily, sensible is that person who prepares himself for death before he dies. Fortunate is he, who arranges for the belongings that will help him before becoming a traveller of the Hereafter. Remember! This worldly life is very short. Our every breath is taking us closer to death. Our every breath is taking us towards the end of this life. Our every breath is making us move closer to our grave.

For this reason, value the life you have got in this world, perform many good deeds and try to make your hereafter better.
