Life is short

 Lessons From a friend life is a test for janannah .I don't need negativity life is so short forgive me Allah I miss you baba Allah yer hamak I wish you were here alhamdulah for everything I learned to be independent and l learned to advocate thank you Allah and alhamallah I read Quran and I am a writer Allah is always with me alhamdulah I have a blessed life and family and friends and blog I will never give up. I have a few lessons 

1) Life moves on. Sadly, this means that we cannot bask in the happy moments forever but thankfully, it also means the pain of the sad moments will not last. 

2) Go to Hajj as soon as you can. The young brother who passed had completed Hajj and gone to Umrah 2 months ago with the love of his life, his wife @samerk28. 

Two instances where his sins have been forgiven, in sha Allah, one of which is a feat that is usually delayed in our ummah until folks are in their elderly ages. May Allah accept it from him.

3) Get married as soon as you can and do not delay once you find someone compatible. Marriage is a blessing so ask Allah for a righteous spouse who will make dua in your absence and especially upon your death.

4) Use your youth to do good deeds. Age brings wisdom but takes your strength and changes priorities. Be a better Muslim while you're physically more capable and have more time to devote.

5) We need to learn the etiquettes of death in Islam. Our faith is a fully rounded way of life but because death is a topic that is uncomfortable, we lose out on valuable information. Learn how to pray janazah, how to grieve, how to comfort the bereaved and how to make dua for the dead.

6) Get comfortable with the idea of your own death. One thing that made my father's passing easier for us to bear was the fact that he was very open about how he hoped to die. He did not want to suffer any long illnesses, he didn't want to be taken care of & he didn't want to die in the US. So when he passed suddenly, at an age younger than his peers, with no illness & on the plot of land that he grew up on & raised his family, we had no choice but to be grateful that Allah answered his duas so beautifully. 

7) Remember our rights upon each other including the sunnah of going to a wedding if you are invited & the fardh kifaya to show up to a janazah when you hear of it. Islam is about community so doing the minimums on your own are not enough. There is great reward in being there for others & may Allah grant us loving people to be around when our times come.
