Life Death and Beyond
English book, p. 33
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
Save Yourself from Eternal Failure a life free of pain is the most desirable sort of life for him. If we reflect on this issue seriously, death will become our greatest concern. The thought of death can work as a masterstroke for a person. In the game of caroms, a masterstroke is a stroke that shifts all the coins on the carom-board from their place. In the same way, consciousness of death can completely shake us out of our complacency. It can transform our way of life totally. It can make us a completely new person. Save Yourself from Eternal Failure Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, former President of India, died on 27th July 2015. He had gone to Shillong to deliver a talk. He was making his presentation when he had a heart attack and fell on the stage. He was rushed to hospital, only to be declared dead by the doctors. He was then 83 years old. Death is an event that all of us will face. One day or the other, the angel of death will appear before us suddenly and will, as it were, tell us, “O man! You had to live only ‘83 years’ in this word. This period is now up. Now you have to live in another world, where you will live, not for ‘83 years’ but forever!” Most people know what they need to do in order to be successful in the phase of life before death. For this, they make elaborate preparations. But how many of us know what preparations we need to make now in order to be successful in the phase of our life after death, which will last forever? Hardly any of us!
