ive always wondered how my death's gonna be like... and how many people would show up at my janaazah...
is it true that if u get more then 100 muslims praying at ur janazah ur sins are forgiven by Allah?
فَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ {88}
[Pickthal 56:88] Thus if he is of those brought nigh,
فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّةُ نَعِيمٍ {89}[Pickthal 56:89] Then breath of life, and plenty, and a Garden of delight.
وَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ {90}[Pickthal 56:90] And if he is of those on the right hand,
فَسَلَامٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ {91}[Pickthal 56:91] Then (the greeting) "Peace be unto thee" from those on the right hand.
Good to think about death.. I too am obsessed with it for entirely different reasons.. be that as it may... I keep learning new things from our glorious Quran.. listen to this sura and tell me what you think?
there are two verses in particular that have piqued my interest...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlgC5CKh26U
the verses I want to discuss are
There is a difference between 'almoqrabeen and as7ab alyameen' wallah A3lam when I was reading I got the impression it is at the moment of death.. one group gets roo7on wa ray7an, and as7ab Alyameen get peace from the right hand.. is there a scholar on board to delve into the verses more? I am sorry if I took the topic to a route different than originally intended.. I think when we all think of death we have different impressions.. I am all up for a discussion.. I havw witnessed the death of a few people.. and I must admit, it doesn't matter how stoned or out of it they are.. there is a knowing look about them. That is VERY LUCID!
thank you

There were a few incidents but there was one night in particular I was on call with a senior resident, and I remember having gotten us two yoho ( a quasi chocolate drink) which tastes really good and we needed it ( but I digress)...
It was a really busy night, and it was in a community hospital so you can imagine it was a wonder at all I had time to get a drink.. anyhow we had an AIDS patient, who had just come in by ambulance and he needed to be in the ICU basically from the ER to ICU, but we had no rooms so we put him on general medical floor, and he crashed, the first time, when they called code there must have been a million person pounding on his chest, senior resident told me to get on phone with ICU and see if we can secure him a room stat... well I did make the call, as we were both wheeling him out I swear to God his eyes met mine and he knew, what he hadn't his entire life... he had the most lucid knowing look on his face, then he crashed in the halls and again we pounded on his chest, but he was gone.. his eyes met mine, looked at something else and then, it is if they followed his soul... like he became blind with his last breath... as if life had left with his eye sight.. It was so strange I can't put it into words... but I shuddered.. every death really kills you and it doesn't matter how many times you've seen it...
Like someone slapped you with the truth and a bucket of ice water when your body is weak and can't take it!...

wow that just sounds so scary man seriously... gave me goose bumps.... dont u get trometized sis? by seeing deaths in ur own hands... seriously..
i would neva be able to do work like that...
im not always scared paranoid its just because of this conversation and when i just think about it too much...
well im scared about seeing a jinn or something like that death... im not a good muslim you see
وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ الْإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا {6}[Yusufali 72:6] 'True, there were persons among mankind who took shelter with persons among the Jinns, but they increased them in folly.
[Pickthal 72:6] And indeed individuals of humankind used to invoke the protection of individuals of the jinn, so that they increased them in revolt against Allah);
not really... enter 'Jinn' in ebay and see how many fools are bidding obscene amounts of money to seek the aid of other than Allah... sad mostly...
I don't think either translators captured 'rahaqan' properly, it is much worst than 'folly' or 'revolt'... it is a word to denote terror and pain that reaches the very soul...
It is good to walk in the light... that way even in the end one can have a smile and a resting place from paradise...
