This is my cousin Shahzeb Khan one hour before his death. I’m not writing this to encourage people to support a cause, I’m writing this, to share my personal experience of what happened.
I was on holiday in Pakistan for six weeks, to attend my cousins wedding. Everything Mashallah went smoothly, until the valima night, when we got a call, that Shahzeb had been shot. We hadn’t even taken our cloths and makeup off and we ran to the hospital to see his hands go purple and his cheeks loose their pink color. Shahzeb was dead.
Allah brought this death upon our family in a time of happiness, where marriage was supposed to be celebrated. He was only 20 years old, a perfectly healthy person with a bright future ahead of him.
He was busy in his sisters wedding, and I asked him what he was planning to study he said “I’m going to resume my studies after the wedding, and apply for universities overseas’. When he said that, did he know that he would have no life after the wedding. When he sat their happily, celebrating his sisters wedding did he know he would die in just an hour, and that those would be his lasts breaths. No he didnt.
On the way to the hospital I was thinking what happens if that was me tonight. I was wearing nail polish, and if I had died, it would have been painful washing the nail polish off me, as dead bodies are known to be in pain even at the slightest touch.
We don’t know when we’re going to die. We were all so upset that Shahzeb was so young, but we don’t understand that Allah did not allocate a certain age for our death, it could be at any time anywhere. Even at your sisters wedding.
The angel of death will not stop. He will come, no matter what your circumstances are in life. We need to be careful, stick to our deen, and not think that we have tomorrow, because no ones tomorrow or even tonight is certain, look at what happened to Shahzeb.
This is my personal experience of how death can come as quickly as life has, and we should not assume our years on Earth.

New Years
New Year.
By Shaykh Mawlānā Muhammad Saleem Dhorat hafizahullāh
Having just completed the year 2012, the ‘New Year’ is seen and heard all around us. However, the question remains as to what should be a Muslim’s take on these events.
Upon the passing of a year, the common trend is to celebrate; people have birthday parties, wedding anniversaries etc. However, in certain spheres this is not the case; take the example of a businessman who at the end of the (financial) year will first take stock of the past year. He will meticulously go through the accounts of the past year taking into account every single penny. He will check to see if he made a profit, and if so then how can he make more in the coming year. He will check his expenses: where did he spend his money? Can he make further savings? All of this is done so that he can make the coming year more profitable than the one that has passed.
This should be the case at the end of the year in every Muslim’s life for we too have been sent to this world as businessmen with the commodity of time; which is life. We will have to one day give account for every second in the Court of Allāh ta‘ālā, when our books of deeds shall be presented.
We will bring forth a book for him that he will find wide open, (and We will say to him) ‘Read your book. Enough are you today to take your own account.’ (17:13-14)
‘Umar radhiyallāhu ‘anhu, emphasising the same, says:
‘Take stock of your own lives before Allāh ta‘ālā reckons you. And assess yourself before you are assessed by Allāh. And prepare yourselves for the great summoning.’
It is our belief that on the Day of Judgement Allāh ta‘ālā will reckon us for everything that we did in the world.
On the day when everybody shall find present before him whatever good he did and whatever evil he did, he will wish there would have been a wide space between him and that (day). (3:30)
No matter how minute or trivial an act we did, we will find that it is present in our book of deeds.
So, whoever does any good act (even) to the weight of a particle will see it. And whoever does evil (even) to the weight of a particle will see it. (99:7-8)
This will be to the extent that in awe people will say:
‘Woe to us! What a book is this! It has missed nothing, minor or major, but has taken it into account.’ Thus they will find whatever they did present before them, and your Lord will not wrong anyone. (18:49)
We need to keep this reality in mind and spend our lives with regular reflection on our actions with Murāqabah and Muḥasabah. Murāqabah means to supervise and oversee oneself to ensure that he/she stays away from disobediences of Allāh ta‘ālā and spends every moment seeking the Pleasure of Allāh ta‘ālā. Muḥasabah means taking account of one’s activities at the end of the day, week and year; and thanking Allāh ta‘ālā for the ability to have performed any good actions and seeking forgiveness for any sins one may have committed. Insha’allāh, if this is adhered to, then we will see a great change in our lives. We will find ourselves spending every second of our lives with great care.
The end of a year is a time to reflect and say to yourself, ‘Another year from my precious life has passed. Who knows how many more years, if any, I have remaining?’ Let us spend them in those avenues that bring the pleasure of Allāh ta‘ālā and stay away from those things that bring His displeasure, so that we can meet Allāh ta‘ālā in a state that He is pleased with us.

Makkah Cleaner Becomes Millionaire Overnight
A sweating Bangladeshi cleaner earning less than Dh1,000 a month was busy sweeping the ground just outside the Grand Mosque in Saudi Arabia when an old man rushed forward and hugged him. With tears in his eyes, the man began crying when he told the cleaner that he is his brother and that he would give him millions. The incident is not part of an Asian movie. It happened in Makkah on Friday, which the cleaner described as the “most beautiful Friday in my life.” The cleaner had come to Saudi Arabia to flee his repressive brother, who usurped his share from a family inheritance and sent him to jail many times. At first, he could not recognise his elder brother because of his shaven head and pilgrimage dress. People who know the cleaner stared in surprise as the old crying pilgrim nearly strangled him with his hugs and kisses. Their surprise quickly turned into curiosity as the old man started to recount the story to his brother’s friends. They were told that the cleaner is not that poor man as he looks. He hails from a wealthy and prestigious family at home but that he left his family after his older brother denied him his SR17-million share (Dh16.8 million) of the inheritance. But what made the old man return to his senses and decide to give his younger brother his rights back.? His answer was that he could not stop feeling guilty for years and that he believes he suffered from cancer because of his oppression of his brother. He told them he had wanted to go to Saudi Arabia for pilgrimage for many years but that he had not known he would meet his brother in the Gulf Kingdom. “The old man told the crowd who gathered to see this dramatic scene that he and his brother hail from a very rich and prestigious family, including former cabinet ministers and dignitaries……he spoke to them in Bangladeshi language through his young brother who spoke Arabic fluently,” Sabq newspaper said. “After he finished relating their story, scores of men surrounded the cleaner to hug him and congratulate him on the new wealth.” The paper quoted the pilgrim as saying he felt much better after he met his brother and performed pilgrimage, adding :”I don’t see just a brother but one of my sons…perhaps he is dearer to me than all my sons….I pray to God that I will be able to compensate him all these years of deprivation and oppression.” The cleaner told the paper that he decided to return home immediately and to “turn this page of hunger, loneliness, deprivation and torment for being away from home.” “I will never forget what I have been through in my country and here…I will always remember the poor and I promise to support and help them because I know poverty and its harms,” the paper quoted him as saying, adding that he had memorized a large part of the Koran during his stay in Saudi Arabia. Sabq said the two later went together to a nearby restaurant and invited the cleaner’s friends to have a meal with them. “A Saudi man who has known the cleaner for a long time whispered to a friend at the restaurant ‘I have always given money to this cleaner but I have never known I was helping a millionaire.”
