OPPORTUNITY FOR RE-PLANNING Journey of Life W HEN a human being is born, a new journey begins. It is a journey from life to death. This journey is a journey from this world to the Hereafter. This journey continues in all circumstances, whether man likes it or not, whether he knows it or not. Before death a person only knows of news of someone’s death, after death he will discover it as a reality. The most serious thing about death is that it always comes at a point of no return. Death does not give anyone a chance to return to life. A person does not have the chance to do after death what he didn’t do before death. No one knows what happens to a person after death. A person who is alive sees another person leaving the world. But the departed person does not send any information about the place he has gone to. Death is a moment of complete separation from this world. Death does not give a person the opportunity to re-plan his life, or to regain what he has lost. What should an individual do in such a situation? He should try to gain knowledge about the post-death period. If a person is serious and seeks to know with an open mind, he can find information about the post death period in the Quran. The Quran has answers to the questions of a sincere seeking soul. The Quran addresses to not be heedless in using the opportunity of life you have before death. Because once the life of this world comes to an end, there will be no chance to plan after death. o Death does not give a person the opportunity to replan his life, or to regain what he has lost.
