Reflection
Most of humanity understands that death is an inevitability. They know of it, but they do not really understand it. They treat death as non-existence, the end of the road, or finality. But the believer understands that death is just act one scene one of this play. In the next scene, we will be brought back and held accountable for all that transpired.
We will be held responsible for our actions. This should not be a scary proposition. Rather we should be joyful about this revelation. " ( Qur'an 23:115 ) So the one who understands the name Al-Ba'ith develops greater certainity in the day of resurrection and greater conviction in Allah's سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ promise.
, a person with loose morals, corrupt, or showing signs of decline). It was narrated that Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: 'O 'Aishah, beware of (evil) deeds that are regarded as insignificant, for they have a pursuer from Allah. e. " [1] The realization of death also brings about a sense of urgency. We have, but a limited time on earth, so we should not squander it.
It should inspire us to do good and rush to acts loved by Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ. However you die here is how you will be brought back to life there, so seek good, and you will receive good. Death also brings to the surface the importance of moment-to-moment awareness, like a soldier about to be deployed overseas.
They don't have any time to waste on trivial matters or petty arguments. They let all these things go, which tells you something about their importance. You can even imagine the week leading up to his deployment; he will handle all his affairs and be extremely loving and present. Why wait until the last second on our deathbeds to feel this way?
Why wait before we're deployed and uncertain of the future? Is it because maybe we're taking tomorrow for granted? At any moment, we have the power to reflect on the name Al-Ba'ith and tap into the truth Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ has created this universe as a temporary place. Death is the inescapable reality we will all face.
