Death, power and man’s take: Ramadan day eight

We do cast aspersion by openly saying that "who go there come"? This phrase shows man’s nonchalance about the torment in the grave.

Even so, we haven’t asked ourselves if the power vested in us or our prolonged age would make us invincible. Ideally, it’s only good life and God consciousness which are required from everyone of us. I hope that is a great lesson for those who would want to ponder about the signs of Allah.

Brethren, we have gotten to a stage in this world where being old or young doesn't really matter anymore! Unfortunately, we still yearn for power to outsmart, look down upon and terrorize others because of the positions we may hold.

They could be sleeping all this while because they haven’t fathomed that God isn’t interested in titles. On that day, He shall deal with us according to our deeds and not who we were while on earth.

That is why we ought to know that neither our positions nor age can save us from Allah’s torment. And death always reminds us to blend the privileges we have to the benefit of our spiritual soul.
