RE: Out-Of-The-Box: Last Chat On Your Deathbed
“When their specified time arrives, they cannot delay it for a single hour nor can they bring it forward.” (Quran, 16:61)
I don't know about other muslims, because we can have different views and perspectives too. But for me, I was taught about that, so the first thing to prepare death is keep yourself clean, no debt, no unfulfilled promises. Later, I learnt that it's the safe way to leave without any burden to family and community. No matter how rich or smart we are, we can't bury ourselves (well, you can seek for a particular service for that). About terrorist, they have a different perspective, so they have different way actualized the verse the read in our Holy book, Al Quran. I die every day in my sleep even though people can still feel my breath, but my soul is nowhere to be find by them.
I respect your beliefs and opinion, but I refuse to compare or having a debate about that, because my knowledge only enough for myself. there's a verse that became my guidance to live my life in this world.
O humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may ˹get to˺ know one another. Surely the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you. Allah is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware.1
Verse about multiculturism. I respect all human beings no matter who they are, where they come from, because we can't be born from tree or stone. Since we're all human, so why not respect each other. Alright, what about the criminals? they are human too and do you respect them too? tbh, I don't hate them for being a human, but I hate them because they choose to be a criminal.
Everyone is born as unique entity, so they can learn and think about it freely. Because one of the most important rights in any human is called Free Will.
Only the good die young, Billy Joel's popularized the phrase in his song. But it was an ancient phrase, I found this but I'm not sure about it myself, although I love history. I can't read everything. My memory is limited to the most important things related to my life, my family, my friends, my communities and several topics only.
Note: you're always free to doubt or questioning anything that you don't buy it. I believe that you really know what you are and what you have to do. Different perspectives or different beliefs won't stop us from hanging out or having fun together. I wrote something from my views and understanding, while you wrote in yours and there's no issues about that IMHO. This ecosystem is about voicing our mind anyway.
Thank you Kitty, I love you as always
Yes, this is exactly what I meant (and said many times before) certain topics should not be discussed: politics, football and religion.
Thanks for the links and sharing your thought I have a look at them later when I have time to let it sink.
A lovely day dear friend.
