 Life What is life? This is a question we all need to ask ourselves, Is it the striving for luxuries, fulfillment of lust and/or the attainment of wealth? Or is it something else? The reality of life is rarely perceived yet always felt, And if only as it slips you truly remember, Will that be time enough to save yourself from that which will make you tremor? What is life? Yes, what is life and do you have time to waste it? What is life, yes what is life? And will things change if you choose not to face it? What is life? This is the question I pose to the one who is fed, Physically satisfied, well clad, having human relations, But in reality dead, What is life? The answer to this most people know not, And why don’t you realize that if you reject Allah’s way, Even though if you breathe, In reality you live not, What is life? Well… life is life, but here… not but a step, So be good with your step, For what is life in reality except a step towards death?
“Blessed be He in Whose Hand is the dominion, and He is able to do all things. (He) Who created death and life that He may test which of you is best in deed.” {Mulk: 1-2} |
