Yesterday, an acquaintance of mine lost his dad. He just lost his mother to cancer about 3 years ago.
Then today, I received the news that a guy I barely knew about (a friend of my boyfriend's adopted uncle) lost his life in a motorcycle accident yesterday too.
I am close to neither of them but somehow, I'm pretty affected by the devastating news.
This just goes to show that life isn't always about doing the things enjoying while you're young.
Is it all about experiencing things and not at all a moment to think about repenting?
One thing's fer sure. We can lose any of our loved ones at any given time. Any one of them. Not just the parents and grandparents or anyone old. The friends, the acquaintances, the partners. Have we spent enough time with them? And as for ourselves, have we been faithfully carrying out duties for the Lord? Keep in mind that He is always watching, and listening. He has always been there for us regardless of how ignorant we have been of him. I haven't been doing enough, and I'm far from completing my duties as a Muslim. Sometimes when I think about it, it makes me feel so guilty and ashamed, but yet I still don't do all that I should. All I pray for is not to go too far astray from the right path.
My deepest condolences to those who have gone.
May your souls be at peace.
Amin.
