Such there is Night
"None of you should long for death because of a calamity that had befallen him, and if he cannot, but long for death, then he should say, 'O Allah! Let me live as long as life is better for me, and take my life if death is better for me.'" – Prophet Muhammad, Peace be upon Him.
Purpose, Life Goals, Targets, Careers, The Meaning of life.
I often try to make it short: Life can so easily be meaningless; if achievements, occasions, convention, festivities…etc?are what gives it meaning, I would not waste a second before I slit my wrist.
One should not waste a second without doing the right thing, or at least try to. Why? What is the right thing? Where do we draw the line? When do we gain the fruits of our peril? Will there ever be redemption?
“Surely to Allah we belong and to Him we will ?all? return.” – Chapter 2 (The Cow), 156
