Work , as if you'll live a thousand years.. Pray as if you'll die tomorrow.
A very wise statement from a wise man , the great Prophet Muhammad. To few , this isssue is taboo , to another few - it is the AIM of life.some may not even prepared to talk about it especially if it is from the new age yuppies.
Rabbana aatina fiddunya hasanah , wafilakhiratil hasanah waqina azabannarr.
As for me , it is something that i see and handle prominently. Without fail , there will be people dying in front of me ; as evidence by last night's call.Naturally its P@ what do you expect?? My favourite uncle died after i thought he was slowly recovering from his long standing stroke and another - who came in with really bad sepsis.( infection )
Preparing for death is not easy - some may try not to think about it. I remember the plight of a HIV positive patients who was ill , whispering to me saying he is afraid to die.He saw his bedside neigbour died one by one - in his lengthy 1 month stay in the ward. he died in the end - not a pretty site though being immunocompromised - the death was very painful .. hmmmm...
Coming to terms with death is not easy. The impact is huge not just to the deceased but to the one around them. And some how , it affects one's judgement for future undertakings. I faced 2 this year.. my beloved Atuk Aki and also my unborn son.
But at the end of the day , one should not fear death, never ever.. - as it is something for sure if we believe in god , that is the qada and qdar - perjalanan hidup satu-satu roh. Paradoxically ; the beauty of it is we dont know when it can happen. We may be able to predict when but as it is not within our power - we can never know .Tawakkaltu a'lallah. The more important thing is to cherish all memories and moments while we are still breathin.. and no regrets to any of our actions ever...
Haks ..dunno i am in such sombre mood. But.. that is what bloggin is about.. rite ?
