deep musings

TIME is of the utmost importance
I mean,we may think we HAVE TIME
cuz were young kan?
we hav all these years decked out in front of us
to hell with the future
were all about the here n now kan

but its not actually like that.
Recently,my uncle passed away,at 32
leaving behind his wife and his 4 year-old daughter
Can u imagine how heartbreaking it is for the wife,not to mention the daughter
And it is a great GREAT GREAT loss for our family
My uncle,he was the most religious one in all my aunties and uncles
And he was our only connection to the religion and in keeping us from becoming too stuck on worthly pleasures lah,for lack of a better word
HE was the one who taught my adiks about the religion as well as hafazan
HE was the one who always had time to pray and make extra du'a for d family
HE was the one who always lead our family during tahlils and other majlis
and now hes GONE.
and this disturbs me and saddens me because,
I lost an uncle that deeply cared for the family,
and Im also worried for my family
Wut will become of us?
Wut will become of ME?

Its funny how u thing that u have all this time in the future to better yourself
Or become more pious,and instead of putting importance on worthly goods,prepare yourself for the Hereafter.
But it doesnt work that way,
because u never know when ur last breath will be
So u cant keep on postponing your plan to be a better Muslim
It doesnt work that way

And how about ur promises to others?
Its so easy to make promises these days and think "Well, i dont have to fulfill my promise today or tomorrow or the nearest moment possible,because i still have a lot of time,dont I?"
But the truth is,you dont
What if the person u made the promise to died or went away?
What if you died?

See it all comes back down to TIME
TIME is of the essence
And we are horribly mistaken if we think that TIME will always be there for us
Basically,to put it in physical terms
TIME is ever-changing,ever-moving
And it is us who has to keep up,lest of being left behind

So dont put off today wut u could have done yesterday
Place the religion as the utmost important thing in ur life
That every act u do is to better yourself and bring u closer to Allah
Appreciate and cherish the loved ones around you

maybe then, your life would bring greater meaning to you
Who knows?
