The taste of death and its after effects for a non-believer...

The taste of death and its after effects for a non-believer is scary and dangerous. The taste of death and its after effects for a believer is sublime, joyous and a beautiful experience. Think and Answer Do all people taste death and its aftermath in the same way? Why is death difficult for some and easy for others? What was the message of Imam Hussayn (a.s.) on the eve of Ashura? Why do believers not fear Death?

What prevents a strong Mo'meen (Believer) from humiliating himself for the sake of worldly gains and pleasures? ANECDOTE PRAYER OF THE PIOUS A famous prayer of Abdul Qadir Jeelani (a man of great learning ) is as follows : "Spare and pardon me, O Allah (S.W.T.)! And if I deserve punishment, cause me to arise blind on the Day of Judgement so that I might not be ashamed to face other righteous men. Every morning after dawn, with my face on earth, I pray to You, O Almighty.

O Allah (S.W.T.), I can never forget You. Please do remember me." Introduction to Chapter Three In The Name Of Allah (S.W.T.), the Beneficent, the Merciful NUBUWWAH Seeking guidance from our Noble Prophets When we travel to another city or country, we need to follow many rules and regulations before we can undertake our journey. Depending on our destination, we sometimes need a passport and at other times a visa.

We also have to have vaccinations, health checks and ensure that our documents are in order according to the travel laws of the country we want to go to. If we need laws and regulations just to go from place in this world to another, does it not make sense that we should also need a special set of rules for travelling to the next world?

Just as in this world, a travel agent is trained to explain the rules to us, Allah (S.W.T.) has also trained a special set of people who were sent to teach us the laws for travelling to the hereafter. These are individuals who are familiar with the both the journey to the Aakhera and with the hereafter itself. You must already have realised that we are talking about the numerous Prophets that Allah (S.W.T.) through His Mercy and Kindness sent to the different nations and tribes of the earth.

In this chapter, we hope to learn more about the need for the prophets that have been sent to us by Allah (S.W.T.). After having studied the important aims of these prophets, we shall then try to look at some of their teachings. We will also talk of the important aspect of leadership in Islam.
