About Death: Arabic/English

[.: Anna :.]

Translation is not mine, found on another forum.

تزود من التقوى فإنك لا تدري *** إذا جن ليل هل تعيش إلى الفجـر
فكـم من فتى أمسى وأصبح ضاحكا *** وقد نسجت أكفانه وهو لا يـدري
وكم من صغار يرتجى لهم طول العمر *** وقد أدخلت أجسادهم ظلمة القبـر
وكـم من عروس زينوها لعرسـها *** وقد قبضت أرواحهم ليلـة القـدر
وكـم من صحيح مات من غير علة *** وكم من سقيم عاش حينا من الدهر
فـمن عـاش ألفـا وألفيـن إنـه *** لابـد من يـوم يسـير إلى القبر

Take taqwa as your provision, for you do not know
When the night darkens, will you live until fajr?

For how many of a youth laughs by morning and evening
And his shrouds have been weaved, and he does not know.

And how many of young ones are expected to live long
But their bodies are made to enter the darkness of the grave.

And how many of a bride have they beautified for her husband
And their souls have been seized on the night of decree.

And how many of a healthy one dies without an illness
And how many of an ill one has lived for a good time

So whoever lives for a thousand and more
He must one day, make his way to his grave

Nice one :up:

[Sulaiman Harun]

Imagine yourself after you pass away
Imagine your grave through night and through day
Wishing that you did not do as they say
Wishing that you had got up and had prayed.

Imagine, my friends, the day that you died
Imagine all of the tears that they cried
Remember how it felt when your body was tied
Remember how it felt in the grave which you lied.

Imagine the day you'll be called to account
Imagine the sum to which your life will amount
Think for a moment of the deeds which you mount
Think for a moment how much they will count.

What will they say of you when you are dead?
What will they say, what will be said?
Will they speak of all the poor who you fed?
Will they remember all the Qu'ran that you read?

Think not of them, but of Allah, Lord of mankind and jinn
Think of Allah when tempted to sin
Think of the paradise which you will dwell in
Don't wait till later to think what might have been.

[Sulaiman Harun]

Just close your eyes and imagine,
You have just one more day to live
One more day to show Allah,
What "Jannah" he should give?

To say goodbye to your family,
And all your closest friends;
To ask for forgiveness,
And try to make amends;

Just close your eyes and imagine,
Did you miss a prayer or two?
Did you please Allah, and do the things,
He asks every Muslim to do?

Just close your eyes and imagine,
Tomorrow you will be gone;
No more second chances,
To smell the mist of dawn;

Just close your eyes and imagine,
The angels are going to come,
To take your soul and ask,
In your life "what have you done"?

Just close your eyes and imagine,
The words you want to say;
Will not come out you may realize,
For all your deeds you'll pay;

You want to speak out, to cry out,
In Allah I believe;
But, silence beckons you,
No more can u deceive;

Just close your eyes and imagine,
Finally,>Your silence breaks away;
You tell the angels you believe in Allah,
And for him, you did pray;

You say as tears are pouring down your face
Please, Allah, forgive me,
For the sins that I committed,
Have mercy is my plea!

Just close your eyes and imagine,
That the smell of musk surrounds you,
From your head down to your feet;
You realize Allah forgave you,
Hell fire you did defeat;

But we all know as Muslims,
When it's time for you to die;
You'll not be given a second chance,
To say a last goodbye;

So live each day as If it's your last,
And never forget to pray;
So when the angels come to ask,
You'll know the words to say.

[Sulaiman Harun]

My time has come quickly so
I thought I had ages left to go

My Lord constantly on my mind
My heart praising the Divine

Punctually 5 times salah I would pray
Reciting Quran I always started my day

The daily duas devotedly memorised
Each opportunity they were utilised

Showing kindness to all those I met
Prophet Muhammads (pbuh) teachings I did not forget

In this way my Imaan became strong
So Allah would save me from doing wrong

And when I did do any bad deed
I would repent sincerely with great speed

Asking Allah for a clean sheet
The Masjid my frequent retreat

Listening to the Shaykh's true advice
I acted on it without even blinking twice

Death will come to me like a nice breeze
The angels take my soul with ease

May Allah give all the Muslimeen death upon Imaan
Ameen

[Sulaiman Harun]

My time has come quickly so
I thought I had ages left to go

I liked to look slick
Flirting gave me the ‘kick’

Out I went to just chill
With my mates for that buzz and thrill

But along with them little I did know
That from Islam I was distancing myself slow

Like this my Imaan did fade
In sins I began to wade

Death has come around for us
Now I want to catch the Islam bus

Sadly it is too late
I am to suffer the worst fate

Death will come to me with pain
The Shaykhs past warnings in vain

I should have taken heed
And without delay started amassing many good deed

My friends take this poem not lightly
Now is the time to take up Islam fully

May Allah save all the Muslimeen from the pains of death
Ameen
