Afterlife

These days all I have been hearing about is death
It's such a scary thing. Last week my mom
told me that our cousins grandma passed away.
My friend called me today and told me her friend
Atika passed away in mecca, she had just finished umrah
and her family and her sisters family were driving back
to the airport and the tire bursted. Atika her 1 yr old son
died as well as her sisters 2 children and her sister's husband.
Imagine waking up and being told your husband and children are dead
I know the death of my cousins grand ma is sad but she lived till 80 masha allah
But atika she was young her son just 1 yrs old. we don't know why Allah takes away our loved ones but what ever Allah does is for the good.

It got me thinking about my own death I'm so scared to even think about it
when we are layed in the ground there will nothing but darkness.
My friend told me to recite Allahumma ajrni minnar 7 times after every fajr and every magrib salaat and you should also read surah mulk after magrib salat, protects you from the punishment in the grave and and hellfire
May Allah protect us all from the the punishment of the grave and jahananam
ameen.

assalam alaikum,

hmm....innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rajioon.

I attended a funeral workshop at my local Islamic center, and Suhan'Allah it was scary!! They showed us how to bathe the dead body along w/ a few pics for demonstration. Plus we got notes that state the events after your death..

May Allah make it easy for us!

Jazakallahu Khayran for the post!

waSalam
