Z-LE'SEYE

The human experience is impermanent. Our bodies are temporary abodes rented out to house each of our souls. Each of us has an appointed time upon which we are ushered through the process of moving out of these abodes. While we are always at the mercy of Allah, after we move out of our abodes, we are then completely at the mercy of Allah as we will no longer be able to do anything to help ourselves. We will be utterly dependent upon His mercy and His mercy alone. As we, the living, pray for so many things may we remember to pray for Allah's help and mercy to be upon us, not only while we are living, but also after we have vacated our temporary abodes. May we remember to pray for His mercy in the now for the later. For when we are being washed. For when we are being wrapped. For when we are being lowered into soft brown surroundings. For when the ones we love can no longer see us nor hear us. For when we travel from this one into the next realm. May Allah's tender mercy envelop us in every stage of existence, transition, resurrection, judgment, and ultimately the assignment of our eternal abodes. *** "Tell them: “The angel of death who has been entrusted with your souls shall gather you, and then you shall be brought back to your Lord.” Qur'an 32:11
