“…Don’t you realize that you are the descendants of those who have perished, that those who remain will take their place after you, and that this will continue until you are all returned to Allah?

* He has parted from his loved ones
* severed his connections with the living

* He needs his accomplishments, but not the material things he left on earth.
Therefore,fear Allah before death descends and its appointed times expire. …”
