One thing I've realised is that when you have a connection with the Qur'an, it's as though you've been given a lens through which to see the truth of things.
The Qur'an shows you how people move through this dunya and what often drives them. Allah says:
"Competition in worldly increase distracts you, until you visit the graves." (Surah At-Takathur 102:1–2)
It exposes the tricks of Shaytan. Allah tells us:
"Shaytan threatens you with poverty and commands you to immorality, while Allah promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty." (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:268)
And Allah repeatedly reminds us that Shaytan is our clear enemy:
"Indeed, Shaytan is an enemy to you, so take him as an enemy." (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:168; see also Surah Fatir 35:6)
Death is like the great unveiling. Nothing wakes a person up more than the reality of what comes after it. Allah says:
"You were certainly in heedlessness of this; now We have removed from you your cover, so your sight today is sharp." (Surah Qaf 50:22)
The more a person lives with the Qur'an, the more they begin to see things as they truly arebeyond appearances, beyond desires, and beyond the deceptions of this temporary world.
I often have these thoughts after a janazah. I went to one a couple of days ago. A distant relative, young and obviously his family couldn't fathom something like that would happen. He went out to the park, like we all do, but he never came back.
What if one has over 80 body counts is there any saving to that person
I think one of the most beautiful things is being in someone’s doa during Arafah, imagine your name being whispered in a prayer on such a sacred day.
