If I die right now, while still in the state of Islam and īmān, I would want every Muslim who hears of my death to first thank Allah on my behalf that I died as a Muslim. Before celebrating my achievements, recounting my good deeds, mourning what I left behind, or speaking about anything else, let there be gratitude to Allah that He preserved my faith until my final moment.
This is the understanding of a Muslim. We know that wealth, status, scholarship, family, influence and accomplishments all end with this world. But to meet Allah upon tawḥīd and submission to Him is the ending every believer hopes and prays for.
So, if I die as a Muslim, grieve for me because you love me, pray for me because I will need your prayers, forgive my shortcomings, but above all, thank Allah that I died believing in Him.
O Allah, keep us alive upon Islam, cause us to die upon faith, and grant us a beautiful ending. Āmīn.
He recited the Qur’an with a heart full of light. Today, his voice remains… May Allah have mercy on him, and continue to reward him for every soul his recitation reaches Amin 💔🤲🏾 May Allah grant him higher rank in jannah ameen ya rabb 🥹🤲🏾🙏🏽
