Salaams,

OK its not as it seems but it makes me think that over here so many of us know each other over here and most of our medium is via email and the occasional phone call.

Yet what if we were to pass away is there anyway that some members of the board would know that you have gone to see the maker ???.  Or do some bros/sisters have dedicated contact points in the event of something tragic happening.

Hmm just mee thoughts on a tough day.

Salaams

Well many of us know each other outside the board.. whether in real life or in the online world.. or live in the same communities or have some type of contact with other online people.. If anything happenned inshaAllah we would know about it.

Hanif!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I read the title of this thread and was like  :o  and   :(

But it is a thing to wonder about.
I myself gave my husband my ID name and passowrd, he knows I feel toward the people on this board as family and since one of these days I will finally have that surgery and with me traveling a lot he knows to let you all know if something happens.

Maybe the ones on the boards can do that with a relative if they so wish.
Just an idea.

Guess what, i live again! heh.... It seems that bro Hanif is quite worried about me :P, well for me you can just follow a simple rule i.e. Just drop me an IM/email and if i dont respond within a month then i might well be dead!! (considering my usage of the internet !)

I haven't got a backup at home but you can ask bro Asim Karim about me too (and me going to attend his walima on coming 8th :) )

Ah! this post is a good reminder of death!

The following is in good humor:

Okay...I think in numbers...as of right now, bro nomi has posted 389 times at least (388+at least one anonymous posting) and he registered on November 21, 2002.

That's an average of 1.72 posts a day, and climbing steadily  :)

My average is 1.54 (including this post)....

I can't believe he's doing worse than me.   ;D

(actually now that I think about my state of affairs...that's pretty sad.)

Wasalaam.

Stars in the sky, and stars on my companion’s face, trickling down his ebony cheeks as he turned to me and whispered,

“Promise me you’ll pray for Allah to forgive me if I die before you!”

I was silent, wondering…

“Promise me!”

Frightened by his intensity, I promised him. His hunted eyes calmed a little, and he murmured,

“And I will do the same for you.”

We aren’t in touch any more. :(

**********************************

I've caught myself so many times watching a dying sun turn the sky blood-red and finding my throat choked. If I died, then who would mourn for me? My family, my close circle of friends...and then they would move on. As for people who know me via email...they would just think Chiq dropped a step lower in her ability to keep in touch  :P

It's a terribly lonely feeling for the faithless. Maybe that's why so many want to be famous, so that people will care about them, fuss over them, make them feel they're not alone. So that there will be more than just a handful crying when they die. So that the world would see that they mattered.

(sighs) Wonder how many of them thought – [i]then what[/i]?

Would that I could be among those most devoted slaves of Allah, quiet, unknown but to a few, scarce in means although the world knew it not, and them not. Whose death was sudden, mourners few, estate scant.

Yet closer to Allah than many of greater fame.

It’s a hadith qudsi that - read it in Khurram Murad’s “In the Early Hours”…beautiful book. Made me cry. Gave me the courage to whisper that most humbling sentence:

“I am nothing.”

In saying which I began to be. Alhamdulillah.

When your time comes, dear bros and sistas, may it be to Allah’s good pleasure, to the right to intercede for your loved ones, and Eternal Bliss…Ameen.

Imam Ghazali woke up one early morning and as usual offered his prayers and then enquired what day it was, his younger brother, Ahmad Ghazali replied,"Monday." He asked him to bring his white shroud, kissed it, stretched himself full length and saying "Lord, I obey willingly," breathed his last.
And underneath his head rest they found the following verses; composed by him, probably, during the night.


"Say to my friends, when they look upon me, dead
Weeping for me and mourning me in sorrow
Do not believe that this corpse you see is myself
In the name of God, I tell you, it is not I,
I am a spirit, and this is naught but flesh
It was my abode and my garment for a time.
I am a treasure, by a talisman kept hid,
Fashioned of dust, which served me as a shrine,
I am a pearl, which has left it's shell deserted,
I am a bird, and this body was my cage
Whence I have now floron forth and it is left as a token
Praise to God, who hath now set me free
And prepared for me my place in the highest of the heaven,
Until today I was dead, though alive in your midst.
Now I live in truth, with the grave - clothes discarded.
Today I hold converse with the saints above,
With no veil between, I see God face to face.
I look upon "Loh-i-Mahfuz" and there in I read
Whatever was and is and all that is to be.
Let my house fall in ruins, lay my cage in the ground,
Cast away the talisman, it is a token, no more
Lay aside my cloak, it was but my outer garment.
Place them all in the grave, let them be forgotten,
I have passed on my way and you are left behind
Your place of abode was no deweling place for me.
Think not that death is death, nay, it is life,
A life that surpasses all we could dream of here,
While in this world, here we are granted sleep,
Death is but sleep, sleep that shall be prolonged
Be not frightened when death draweth night,
It is but the departure for this blessed home
Think of the mercy and love of your Lord,
Give thanks for His Grace and come without fear.
What I am now, even so shall you be
For I know that you are even as I am
The souls of all men come forth from God
The bodies of all are compounded alike
Good and evil, alike it was ours
I give you now a message of good cheer
May God's peace and joy for evermore be yours."


_my beautiful brothers and sisters, May Allah provide you all with abundant peace...

we all have to go oneday...the thought of dead scares me to "death"  :(
you know what i mean?

Ya Allah, Have Mercy on us. ameen.

if anything happens to me...
before that i will make sure someone come and tell you guys...i know one person from this board...and they will tell you guys...and inshaallah everyone will pray for me...You all are in my duaas and ishaallah will always be... i care about you all as if you are my own brothers and sisters. seriously.

Such beautiful people, mash-Allah.  Al-hamdulillah.  No worries.  It's a part of our short existing life.  This world was only temporary and the next will be eternal so work for the next life and don't worry about this one.

You people are great and wish I could know all of you personally.  Online is fine though, no complaints.  It's all cool.  Hmmm....how would you know if I died?

Well, Jannah would be informed of my death and then insha-Allah, you can all make du'a for me.  In fact, you can make du'a for me now.  I always need help.

May Allah have mercy on us all.  Ameen.

Ma-asalaama....
