"Make it your habit to weep in the awe of the Divine, so you may laugh on the Day of Resurrection". [Yahya bin Mu'adh]
Yahya ibn Mu`adh al-Razi said, “Glad tidings to the one who leaves the dunya before it leaves him, prepares for his grave before he enters it, and pleases his Lord before he meets Him.”
Ahmad Fareed writes:
وقال أحد الصالحين : يا عجباً من الناس يبكون على من مات جسدهُ ولا يبكون على من مات قلبه وهو أشد
“One of the pious said: “Amazing how men cry over the death of a body, but never cry about the death of the heart, while the death of the heart is way more awful”
["Tazkiyah al-Nufus", 33].
Ibn Kathir states:
“The print on ‘Umar ibn al Khataab’s ring was: “Sufficient is death as an admonisher O Umar”.
["Al-Bidayah wal Nihayah", 7/151].
Its has been narrated:
“When death reached Al-Ma’mun, he said: “Help me to get out of my bed”. He was helped, so he placed his cheek in dirt and said: “O You, Whose Kingdom never ceases! Have mercy on the one whose kingdom ceased!”
["Tarikh Al-Khulafa", 104].
Maymoen Ibn Mihran said:
“I went with Umar Ibn Abdul Aziz to the graveyard. When he saw the graves, he started to weep. Then he looked at me and said: “O Maimun, these are the graves of my fathers from Banu Umayyah. When I see their graves now, it seems as if they never participated with the dwellers of the world in their pleasures and (enjoyment-filled) lives. Do you not see how they are inextricably beset by trials? The insects are feeding off of their bodies..,”
["Dhikr Al-Mawt", 1/147].
Matraf Ibn Abdullah said:
“Verily, the death destroyed the pleasures of the people of enjoyments, so seek a pleasure which knows no death”.
["Siyar A'lam An-Nubala", 4/190].

Light of Dawn
I wake with the light of the dawn whispering with joy in my heart and with praise on my lips. In stillness and twilight i stand before you bowing, prostating i call Allahu (swt).
My eyes see your beauty in the dawn's golden hues. My ears hear the thunder as it gloriies you. The rhythm of my heart beats the sound of your name. My breaths rise and fall with the tide of your praise. My soul knew and loved you before i was born and without your mercy is lost and fortorn.
Wherever i may wonder down the pathways of life, my cry to you Allah (swt), is "guide me to ligfht" through all fear and helpness, to you do i turn for your breath of healing and peacedo i yearn. For all that i have , my Allah (swt) all that i am is from you, is for you and to you will return. Inshallah
