A Graveyard on the Way |@bhaiaslam|STEEM FOR INDONESIA|30-11-2024|
Assalam-o-Alaikum!
I hope that you will be well with the blessings of Allah Almighty. Today, I am going to share some pictures that may bring back you to something and I am sure that you will certainly influence you all. The pictures are closely related to the Islamic concept of life and I hope that I will be able to show you the reality of life. But, the main purpose of this blog is not to make you all hopeless but just to share your thoughts.
A few days ago, I went out of my home with my camera to capture photography for my blogs and then I passed a graveyard. I stopped near it for minutes and looked at all the graves. I noticed one thing in the graveyard and that was all the graves almost have the same structures from the upper side but are they the same from the inner side? Are the people buried in the graves? These were the questions that came to my mind at that time and I felt a sense of sorrow. I was thinking that life is full of the activities that make us please and keep us happy but about the world of the people that are buried inside these graves. Are they in peace or trouble because of the activities that they performed in the world during the duration of their life? These were some of the questions that changed the condition of my mind and I remained there for more than half an hour and kept on thinking this. Here is a picture of that graveyard and you can see the condition of graves in this graveyard.
This is the largest graveyard in my city and all the graves have almost the same conditions from the upper side. Here, I want to say one thing all of our lives we just keep on making money and trying to collect more resources to survive in better conditions in the world but most Muslims in the world are not thinking about the eternal life that is true life and the condition of that life is directly related to our this life. The beauty of the world attracts us and we throughout our lives just keep on doing such deeds that are only useful for this life. But this is I think not the life about which our beloved prophet Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H) advised us.
The main objective of this blog is not to tell you about the hopeless side of life or to ask you to leave your daily jobs, but it is about coming to the Islamic life and adopting the Islamic lifestyle. These graves have many persons who were to start their prayers from very next morning but they died on the same day. These graves have many people who were more beautiful, handsome, richer, talented, and intelligent than we are but all in vain. At last, only their good deeds will give profit to them in their graves, no money, no children, no skills but good deeds. I am here to ask you that one should be involved in all the Islamic activities in his life if he has not been involved in them in his life. It does not mean leaving the daily activities of life and leaving the responsibilities of society and family. Just try to follow Islam and then your life will be like a bright star that looks more brighter in the darkest night. This should be the aim of a Muslim and this should be an aim for which he should try in his life.
For a Muslim, the described points are the responsibilities.
- Saying prayer five times a day.
- Doing good deeds.
- Paying of Zakkat
- Fasting of Ramadan
- Respecting parents and elders.
All the points are clear from all the Islamic teachings and all the points are also essential for life. Islamic teachings have shown that all the people who follow Islam live their lives in peace and all the restrictions that Islam applied on Muslims have some beneficial effects on life. For instance, in Islam alcohol is prohibited (Haram) and If we look from the biological point of view it has certain effects on our lives and character. Moreover, there are endless examples that can justify that all the prohibited actions in Islam have a bad impact on life when they are performed.
Look at this olden tree. It has become old and weedy but still, it is green and giving shade to many graves. When people visit the graves in this yard, they must sit to pray for graves under this tree. This old tree is doing thousands of good deeds by standing in one position. One Muslim should learn a lesson from this tree that it has become old but still provides benefits to the visitors in Summer when there is a bright hot day but this tree itself is facing severe environmental conditions.
