We are all aware of our birth dates but we do not know when our death dates will be. Rather than thinking back and enjoying the day we were born, we should realize that the day to leave this world is coming nearer. How strange is a human being that the hereafter comes closer and closer to him yet he moves further and further from the obedience of Allah!

Sudden Death of a Brother
During giving a lecture to the youths in March 2002, brother Nakuda (an
Imam of Makki Masjid located in Brampton, Canada), mentioned the
following story: A Muslim brother bought a house in the neighbouring
city and moved in it with his family. All day they were busy in placing
things here and there. In fact, they bought the house with much effort
and now they could finally enjoy it. But, they had no idea what was to
come on the next day. In the following morning, the brother and his wife
were going to work with their car. On their way, they got into a
terrible car accident. The husband died and the wife survived. Death
took over the husband and not the wife even though they were seating
side by side. Brother Nakuda did his Janaza on the day he had to give
the lecture to the youths.
