upppdatee!
Its only been a week since I updated last.. feels alot
longer though. I suppose alot has happened..
To start off, the death of Abu Hafs exactly one week
from today. I've been around deaths a lot, been with
my mother when she washed bodies and the such.. but
nothing hit me as hard as this one ever. It was
different. I cant explain why, but its left a deep
impression on me. when things happen I try to see what
I can learn from it, there are numerous lessons from
this but to list a few
1. Death is a reality. It doesn't matter how old you
are or who you are, it will happen to you one day..
maybe soon, maybe not.. but are you ready for it? I
dont think I ever could be.
2.When you die all that is left is your good and bad
on earth. One thing I noticed is that in all of the
threads dedicated to him, not one person said
something bad about Abu Hafs. Everyone had a nice
thing to say about him. When you leave this earth all
that will be left is what you did here.. if you did
good you'll be remembered for it, and if you did bad
you will be remembered for it.
3. Sincerity is the key to everything. Another thing I
noticed is how many people mentioned his sincerity..
and subhanAllah it was seen in his death..
4.There is no way you an avoid Qadar. How many times
have we gone to the ocean or silver falls or some
place.. gone in way to deep.. and the parents get
upset at us.. and our answer would be "we know how to
swim". well so did Abu hafs.. not only that he was at
the edge.. and divers went in to save him.. but it was
his time to go and nothing could stop it.
5.If you care about someone don't put off telling them
or showing them. I learned this from my interaction
with people after his passing.. when they kept
expressing how much they wished they had been
different with him before.. how they wished they told
them how much they really did love them.. and so on..
and subhanAllah.. who really does know if you or the
other person will be alive tommorrow, so why should
you put off expressing your appreciation of them?
So yea, this was one of the more major things that
occured the past week.. other than that there were
some minor things..
I started uni on Monday. Its hard man.. not super
hard.. but hard.. or maybe I'm just not used to having
school work due. Alhamdulillah I'm done with all
asignments for this week, other than math. I really
can not wait to be done with this class and not have
to take another math class.
Ramadon is in a few days. I really really can not
believe it. I remember last Ramadon and it feels like
it was just yesterday.. we moved Hermiston mid Ramadon
last year.. hard to believe its been that long..
subhanAllah.
I might be spending this Ramadon at UmmAbdulQudoos's..
minus the weekends.. since her husband will be out of
town for 3 months, except weekends.. I'm still not
totally decided but I'm almost decided =P
Anyways, I must go do my math.. I've put it off long
enough.. :(
