All praises and thanks be to Allah, the Sufficient Master of the Supreme Throne, which is share by non except Him Alone.

People are scared to talk about death, the irresistible path to the next place. The talk on death is a tertiary topic which is discussed mournfully with wrinkle faces of bereaved. Yet we celebrate death of famous people because of the good or criminal things they did in their life times or for whatever.

Michael Jackson’s death is like the death of any human being, and therefore, there is no need people keep on commenting about it. Who was he? He was a music star for nobody but a musician for himself. We have forgotten the fact in the scriptures that the life of a man is taken from him in the process of doing what he cherished.

it is an undeniable fact that he failed to say insha Allah when he was to planning to launched his album. Allah’s Will was proven against him.

Death should not be seen as punishment despite the pain it goes with. The agonies of death must be tasted by any creature(Kullu nafs izaa-ikatil mout). If death comes in the way a believer’s life is taken, then we can’t call it Punishment. But if it comes in the opposite way, on the contrary, that is when we call it a calamity. Like the case of the people of Madyana, Thamud, Hud, and Sodom.(Auzu bil’Lahi)

But what I want everybody to know is that, we must repent before the close of the door of repentance.

Fornication and adultery are now a piece of fashion because Satan has beautified it in the minds of mankind. Murder and all kinds of corruption have swollen the head of the world, so the position of honour becomes a mere straw.

Allah la-ilaaha illaa Huwa, exulted be His Throne.
May His mercy be upon us.

THESE R VERY NICE POSTS.

1) The difference between “paradise” and “heaven” is nothing. They are the same; however, linguistically, in English, “heaven” is a term loaded with Christian connotations; not so much so for paradise.

Heaven and Hell are, of course, polar opposites; one is the eternal abode of the successful, and one of the losers; this is detailed very frequently in the Qur’an, and also in the sunnah.

As for “the pay of human mistakes,” I think you mean “what will happen to sinners and wrong-doing people?” This is also detailed in the Qur’an. For the one who has a balance of sins, more than good deeds, they will end in Hellfire. For those who are non-Muslims, as the Prophet told us, the reward of their deeds is in this life; they go to the hereafter without any good deeds.

As for predestination, this is a complex and deep subject; you can sum it up as: Human beings have free will. Allah knows what they will do, even before they do it. And some things are already “written” for you, that they will happen irrespective of what you do–such as the date and time of your death; calamities that will befall you; and other things. At the end of the day, you don’t know your Qadar, so it doesn’t affect you–just be thankful and patient with whatever Allah throws your way.

Wallahu ‘alam.

Every humanbeing is a mortal, but the temporary richness of the life of this world has washed away the rememberance of the concept of this mortality, so arogance towards law of nature becomes prevalent.

I have no so much to say about Michael’s death. My feelings about him is mild-not sorrow nor joy. Whenever I hear about death, what comes to my mind is the day of my death. I do not fear death; what I fear is Judgment-an undeniable fact.

Also, what I only want to say is that people must be very careful of how they live. Corruption has spread over the earth, and mischief is the centre of affairs in every sphear of life.

Whenever I am preaching to my students, most of them show the face of denial about the day of recompense, but I say: “Death is a door to heaven as birth is a door to this world. And remember, if you send your child to perform a task, you definitely will ask him/her to give accout of how the task was performed.” The judgment of Michael is what should be in the minds of mankind.

The problem I have is that, I want your organization to answer me this very controversial question: ” What is the difference among Heaven, Hell, and Paradice?” and “What is Predestination, and The pay of Human mistakes?

this is a very nice post, mashaallah.

So Allahu ‘alam.

This is a beautiful and timely post and I hope everyone benefits from it.

Regarding your comment, I dont think its fair to say that he was arrogant and thought he could do it. Despite the fact that we can learn from his mistakes, we should be careful not to say anything bad about people that passed away, Muslim or not.

Infact he had big financial debt problems and one of the ways he managed to pay it off is that his creditors convinced him to go on another concert tour, despite the fact that he was “retired” already.

I think we can look at it in two ways, and we don’t really know what was in his heart. Maybe he was confident, and had trust in God (whoever he believed in) that he could do it, or maybe he depended on himself and was arrogant… who knows
