Have you done all it takes...

Every time someone famous died, especially when they are at their 'prime', statements bordering on the absurd will be made, even becoming a catalyst for heated debates. 

But a couple of days ago, I found something different on Instagram (IG). Something that as a Muslim makes me wonder, something that somehow or another make me ask myself - am I really making full use of my time here in this life, is it enough in preparation for my next life?

"Paul Walker (the actor from the 'Fast and the Furious movies) passed away earlier today and this was the state of the car that he died in. There are some lessons we can learn from his death. One of the main lessons is that you will die the way you lived your life. So if you live your life in the fast lane, you will also die in the fast lane. If you live your life by the gun, you will also die by the gun. If you live a righteous life, Allah Azzawajal will in His infinite Mercy give you a righteous death. 

Many people think these celebrities are untouchable but the reality is different. I bet he was looking forward to the release of his new 'Fast and the Furious' film next year, without thinking he may be dead by then. Most of us do the same thing. We think about the future and ignore the fact that we may pass away before our plans become a reality. Only Allah Azzawajal knows how long we have left in this world. Many of us may not be alive next week and that is the honest truth. So make the most of every minute you have in this world and do as much as you can for your Akhirah because as you can see from the picture, all it takes is a wrong move of the steering wheel and you are gone." ~ islamicknowledge1's IG.

Wallahua'lam.
