It is separation of soul from body, and isolation from you know what.

and aankhon and sir per kheere rakho. it is very effective.

I think death is feared because there is no confirmed thing about what happens when one does. Nobody can support their opinions of life after death with examples because people who die cant actually communicate to tell how it is?

Since there is no convincing example…death or life after death is an UNKNOWN…lots of speculations but nothing solid…the UNKNOWN is usually feared …nahi?

Asma….i agree to what UTP has said and apart from this i personally feel that ppl r afraid of death bcoz they r somehow not willing to except the mortality of this world and all the things that exist here.

Btw…Madam..yeh aap ne apne blog k saath kiya kiye hai…i cudn’t visit it directly as the main page says….”And they say: there are no shortcuts to anyplace worth going”…wah bhaee wah ….aap ne tu pakka plan kiya hua k koi punchnay na paaye but yayy thanks to Google …i’m here!

aray wah..now i can see a nice background as well…i guess u r updating ur blog…and i think i shud leave b4 u say “fariha…sabr karlo…tusi tu pechay hi pay gayee ho”

I used to have these weird theories using which I used to scare my mom. One of them was (well, sort of influenced by Matrix) that after you die, it is actually the angels pulling the plug out of the back of your head, and you wake up in the real world, where you have to face God and account for all the actions you took in this virtual world.

Just as Quran tells us numerous times that this world isn’t for real but it is just like a dream, and that our eyes will open once we die.

Asma: See, we all have weird theories. And it ain’t bad to express them once in awhile. Rather, it is fun doing so. So when somebody calls you, “geee, you are weird”, you give them a wide smile, say “of course I am,” and leave with a feel of self pride. Being weird is more like being more intellectual.

And the “pps”, I would agree only to the decision no. 2

Death itself is not to be feared, because it comes in an instant. It is the run-up to it that can be a bit of a problem, sometimes, especially, if it is rather long drawn.

I like the concept, the way it is described in the Guru Granth Saahib i.e. “Jyoti sang jyot samaaya”, which means re-union with the Eternal Light.

As for the PS and PPS, I would say, “Be yourself!”

Adnan lol meri hi billi aur … Kiskay aankhon aur sar pay

UTP I guess your point is valid too, but then the unknown we’re talking about is not entirely unknown – in fact we know more about it then most of the things around us in this very world … If we keep ours deeds straight and pray to Allah for forgiveness, let’s hope we don’t have any gear of DEATH :>

Fariha Yup thats one point too … letting go of pleasures for unknown as umar bhai said is not an easy thought … we strive on escape …!

Lol bas yah samjah lo I’ve tried to restrict the blog a bit … :>

Shuaib Very well said :> and what do you think I do exactly this , usually and what’ve you understood by decision # 2, huh??

Sidhusaaheb People are usually afraid of the theory of death … I’ve seen many :S and geeez, I’ll be :>

Well, decision number 2 was “lesser existence”. Doesn’t that mean, you are going to go dead? I would love that. (Laughs out loud)

KIDDING! I would love that happen only to my elder sister.

Anyway, lesser existence for me means hiding behind your work, so that people know more of what you have done publicly and for social welfare, and less about you (your personal life).

shuaib, though my decision number 2 wasn’t exactly how you saw it but this can be given a thought too though.

Whatever you say my all hamdardies are with your sis

BTW, that’s all you’re saying in NOW … when she’ll be away you’ll miss her like hell I’m telling ya, siblings are bestest gift of Allah :>
