Allah states:
“Every Soul tastes Death. And, you’ll only attain your Rewards via the Day-Of-Standing.”
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.3, V.185)
Contrary to the Pop-Cultural Philosophical-Inquiry “What dat Mouth do?!!!”, what should be focused on is “What that Death do?!!!”. Because, Death destroys any/all Illusions regarding the Mysteries-Of-Existence. For example, when Persons always ask “Why am I here?”…if one doesn’t ascribe to al-Islām they’re going to Fuck-Around&Find-Out extremely harshly if they so choose to demise upon adh-Dhalālah/Misguidance. The Inquisition of the Grave are a Hujjah/Testiment to my Point. When one dies (whether they be a Jinn/Fire-Being or an Ins/Human-Being), they’ll each/all be asked 3-Questions by 2 Black&Blue-Angels: Munkar&Nakīr.
The 3-Questions of the Grave:
1. Who’s your Rabb (Creator/Lord)?
[Answer: Allah]
2. What’s your Dīn (Religio-Spiritual Path)?
[Answer: al-Islām]
3. Who’s your Nabī (Prophetic-Individual)?
[Answer: Muhammad]
So, whomever answers These-Questions correctly, then their Stay/Duratiin via the Grave will be pleasant. But, whomever answers These-Questions incorrectly will be tortured Non-Stop via the Grave.
(al-Bukhārī, at-Tirmidhī, Abū-Dāwud, ibn-Mājah)
This is always important to me, because, ad-Dunyā/Mundane is so short…we honestly don’t have the Time we think/feel we’ve got. ash-Shaytān is just so good at duping Humanity, via inticing & presenting Illusionary-Pleasures…as Allah states:
“And the Mundane-Life is only the Enjoyment-Of-Illusion.”.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.3, V.185)
The Disconnect between Human-Life & the Natural-World
1-Day, regardless of any/all our Accolades/Accomplishments…in spite of any/all our Victories/Conquests…regardless of how much Monies we’ve amassed…regardless of how many Offspring and/or Descendants we’ve got…regardless of our Technological Digital-Footprints via Social-Media…eventually we’ll only be Memories to Others & then we may very well end-up as only Historical-Footnotes. Moreover, eventually, we may very well be completely forgotten. This is amongst Countless-Things I ponder, introspect, etc. very often. This is al-Hāqqah/the Reality-Check which we as Humans never really want to embrace. The Reality of Death is all around us…just look at & observe Seasonal-Transitions. Allah has granted the Earth Seasonal-Variety, to teach us an `Ibrah/Lesson, that absolutely nothing stays the same & nothing lasts forever. Spring, Summer, Autumn/Fall, Winter: each/all of these Individual-Seasons represents a Stage of Life:
Spring: Youth/Blossoming
Summer: Maturity/Maturation
Autumn/Fall: Aging/Frailty
Winter: Decline/Death
However, because so many Persons dwell external of the Natural-World…living in Congested-Cities for example: we literally block-out Seasonal-Transitions as a Parallel to Human-Life itself. Most-Persons don’t want to notice the Connection between Seasons & Existential-Stages of Mundane-Life. Because of the Artificial-Environments we live in (Apartment-Buildings, High-Rises, Sky-Scrapers, etc.), Cosmetic-Surgeries (BBL’s, Implants, Botox, etc.), “Anti-Aging” Medications/Products, etc.: Humans have allowed themselves to buy into the Mythos/Pseudo-Narrative of “Forever-Young” & “Forever-Alive”…as I always tell People: Forever21 is only a Department-Store.
