I also may not return to my house So they shall not be able to make a bequest, nor shall they return to their families. *** *** That is they are unable even to make a will and to return home. Though everyone wishes to return home, meet the family members and make a will. A few days ago, a healthy person died right in the bazar of Shiraz, suddenly before noon. He had no ailment whatsoever. Now does anyone else in Shiraz think it is quite possible that he also may not be able to return home?
I should think of myself. The wolf of death takes away a sheep from this flock suddenly and yet you can see how carelessly all these sheep are grazing! (Persian Couplets) Also the cry of death comes when these people are in the midst of arguments and quarrelling. I had once seen that they became dumb while quarrelling. Blood pressure rose up and made them lifeless. Woe unto the unlucky fellow who died while sinning. Had he faith at that moment or not?
Truly, you must fear that moment when the satans are, more than normally, intent to take away even if one has a particle of faith. They intensify their attack at the time of death. Of course, if there is faith in one’s heart, the devil is unable to snatch it. God has promised: …and Allah was not going to make your faith to be fruitless… (2:143) *** *** That is He would not destroy your faith. However if faith is only on your tongue, the matter is different.
And among men is he who serves Allah (standing) on the verge, so that if good befalls him he is satisfied therewith, but if a trial afflict him he turns back headlong; he loses this world as well as the hereafter; that is a manifest loss. (22:11) *** *** So one should pray: O God! Give me the Faith, which I may take with me (to grave). A Faith that was always with me, which must have been deeply rooted in my soul.
So let us find out the rightful While explaining the making of wills some commentators have raised a noteworthy point. A man has become so weak and feeble that he is unable to say even a word or to make any will (before death), what to say about other things. So, those who are wise, take precaution, before they are in such a situation, which is sure to come. They themselves satisfy those who have rights over them so that the dispute may not continue to the other world.
Work until you hand is able to do something before you become totally helpless. These were the vanguards of Qiyamat. These were the Cries of Death and Killing.
