Somalinet folks have you ever thought about your own demise?

I got this as an SMS today, thought I would share it with all of you.

It is reported that the last sermon Umar ibn Abdul Azeez delivered was as follows: He praised Allah and said: "You were not created in vain, nor will you be left without purpose. Verily, you have an appointed time in which Allah - the Most High - will come down to judge you. Wretched and ruined will he be who leaves the mercy of Allah and is denied a Garden whose width is that of the heavens and the Earth. Know you not that no one will be safe tomorrow except one who is wary of today and fears it; and sells the transitory for what will remain, and the little for the plenty, and fear in exchange for security [in the hereafter]? See you not that you are in the loins of the dead, to be taken by those who remain after you, untill all matters return to the Best of Inheritors? Everyday, [in the funerals] you accompany those returning to Allah the Almighty and Sublime, having spent their time, until you hide them in a crevice in the ground, in the belly of a bare and unfurnished hole, having parted from their loved ones, stroking the dirt and facing their accounts. Now, they are dependent on their deeds, free of what they left behind, in need of [the deeds] they put forth, So fear Allah before the time He appointed is up and death descends upon you. This is what I have to say." He then lifted the edge of his garment over his face and wept profusely, and made everyone around him weep.

[Abu Bakr Al-Daynuri, Al Mujalasah wa Jawahir Al- Ilm Vol. 3 pg. 343

Wallahi Good advice. We should remind ourselves of death everyday. And when you have exams or stressing about your upcoming interview or whatever, who's to say you would make it to that appointed moment, if your's appointed moment with death is unknown?
