Who was Khidr Adam?
Perhaps the better question is: *what kind of life must a person have lived for his death to leave an entire community talking about him?*
Why are more than five mosques praying his Janazah?
Why did social media become flooded with people sharing stories of his goodness?
He had successful businesses. He achieved much in this world. Yet when people spoke about him after his death, they didn’t speak about his wealth.
They spoke about the good he did.
The charities he supported.
The da‘wah initiatives he was involved in.
The masjids he worked with.
The youth he inspired.
The lives he touched.
The Gazan Cause that he passionately stood for.
And perhaps that is the greatest lesson of all.
When a person leaves this world, people may know what he owned, what he built and what he achieved.
But what they remember is what he did for Allah.
What he gave in Allah's cause.
What he left behind in the hearts and lives of people.
That is the legacy that matters.
One day, they will speak about you too.
What will they remember?
If the passing of brother Khidr does not make you pause, reflect and reconsider what you are living for, what will?
Death is not merely a reminder that someone has left this world.
Sometimes, it is Allah giving the living a chance to wake up.
Build something that outlives you.
Give something that continues after you.
Do something that Allah accepts.
You can't control the day you will depart from this world but you have the power to choose what will remain for you after your death!
Because in the end, what truly matters is the good you did for Allah and the lives you touched in pursuit of your Akhirah.

World Bank had intended to use the conference in Nairobi to entice heads of African countries with their loans only for Museveni who was given 5 minutes to talk, to extend and spend the entire time slamming the loans by the west to Africans. No brakes.
