I'm in an odd, very unlike me-ish mood today.. And I've been thinking quite a bit too.. Not intentionally, but just cuz of some news I got to hear.. Think a couple of you reading know what I'm talking about but thats not exactly the main reason why I'm writing.. I'v been thinking quite a lot about it anyways, and the incident just added onto my thoughts..
Dont know whether to call this post about 'Death' or 'The Purpose Of Life' or nothing at all .. cuz right now I'm not too clear in the head, and just writing down random stuff! Though I played with my nephew tonight, and even attended a friends nikah.. At the back of my head, all of this has been nagging me constantly!
What is the purpose of life? .. I know there are quite a few answers - Islam tells me how we are supposed to do good and all, cuz we'll be rewarded/punished after our deaths for what we do in this world.. But why? Why is there life when one day death is to come for sure? What's the purpose of such a test? To see how we obey what our religion says, and what we do.. I know that, but why?? And why is death so sudden, without any warning..
I'v seen few deaths of people who I'm close to.. And I'm glad cuz the pain is just so horrible! But then, we all have to go one day.. And that day ain't neccessarily gonna come when I'm 70 and sleeping peacefully in bed.. For all I know I could die the next second, before I'm even able to post this!
I'm not exactly scared of the idea of death.. It is one thing that nobody can deny - a fact.. Right now, I'm just lost! At the same time maybe I am scared, that I might lose the people who I'm so close to and claim that I cannot live without!
I'm not doubting my faith here, or whatever else you all might be thinking.. I'm just rambling on cuz i can't think straight!! I believe in God, and as hard as it may be at times I always get myself to think that whatever He does is for our betterment! He loves us, very very much.. I believe in my religion, I understand the idea of being rewarded or punished for all that we do.. All I cannot understand right now is, why spur of the moments happenings impact the rest of our lives.. I know there are quite a few things, which if donot work out the way I think they will, then my entire life will be affected for sure!
My head'll clear up in a day or two.. I know that! We forget and move on with the flow, cuz we don't know how much it hurts, how it feels unless we go through all of it ourselves.. I'm just so sorry for your loss.. Yet sorry is such a small word for what has happened! I pray Allah gives you and all of us the strength to always be able to overcome grief and move on with our lives..

Hmmm, there are so many things that I dont understand, or necessarily agree to, in this scheme of life as religion tells us.
In our religion, we say death is not the end of it all. Life continues after it, in another birth.
But the sense of it all? A bit difficult to say.
Anyways, I guess the purpose of it all is to live life fullest, and with full duty to humanity, family and friends.
So cheer up. Visit some friends, read some good PG Wodehouse book, watch a typical filmy film... I am sure u will cheer up.
Take care.
BTW, me first , so I get the gold medal :P
Deepak, you're right there's so much around us that we dont understand.. n pondering over it would just make things more difficult! I'm alright now i guess, slept it off.. lol! n ill go find myself some cheesy funny movie to watch too :p
yep Silky Moon, the lines from muqaddar ka sikandar have been haunting me for awhile, n i loved the other stuff u quoted as well.. makes things understandable!! I shouldnt be wasting time thinking about stuff that just doesnt make sense..
I think ur an abolute sweetheart, like i just told u! not to mention a veryy nice writer :) n u love my kiddo, wat could be better.. lol! :D
Reema....
Saw ur comment on my blog, and just dropped here... And sad that i am reading this post of urs first.... U do write well, and this particular one was pretty melancholic....... Took me through some old similar experiences......
Yeah.... we just move on....... and thats what life is......
Well, Cheer up girl.....
Yea, you told me about it and its just very sad. Some people don't even get the chance to live their life to 'fullest'(if that's even possible or what do we mean by full??).
Although, I still believe that every life has a purpose to fulfill. Maybe it will end up making someone stronger, maybe it will end up someone relecting on life and looking at it a different way, maybe it will end up making a lot of people sad...but then maybe that was the purpose of that life.
Few years back my friend's dad passed away and he asked me "Why did this happen to me?". I had no answer at that point of time. After couple of years when I talked to him, I found him more focussed in life, more determined to make life of his mother comfortable, more mature, more responsible...maybe that was the purpose of his Dad's death but then maybe not. We can only try to justify these things because we don't know what's our purpose of life is. The ONE that knows about our purpose of life, will make sure we all fulfill it to the best of our abilities.
My only wish for everyone is that, "May you fulfill the purpose of your life...whatever it maybe"
@ Silky Moon - Loved reading your comment. The poem 'Death' you wrote send a chill through my spine.
umm before writing n e thing on death... thr is one of my favourite sher i would like to share!!
ghabra kar kehtay hain mar jayeen gay
mar kar bhi chain na mila to kidhar jayeen gay
umm reema what u wrote is amazing!!
the thing which i understood so far is .. every 1 is sent fro a reason!!... what the reason is might not b obvious to us right now.. but graduallly with time we get to know wht happened to us and y and why was tht gud fro us!!
but sumtimes every thing feels so bad!! it all seems so gloomy and as u said reema .. we feel y the hell we were born!! i mean whts the use?? ... but what we have to realise is we didnt came into this world humary apni marzy say ... we were SENT here ... to accomplish sumthing!!
and honestly speaking ...i still donno y i was born!! but m trying to search for it these days!! thts my mission these days o find the truth of being sent to this world!!
lets see wht happenes!!
and reema chill!! relax!!
and as u say " every thing happens for a reason"
Sum..
veryy sweet of u to drop by, i dun normally sound all depressed n low - just a temporary phase!
i dun think i even wrote this thinking that i'm gonna be posting it! the blogs just become an opportunity for me to pen down random thoughts..
come again, u'll hopefully find a more cheerful, less thought provoking post.. :)
Ricky, though i didnt really get a chance to talk about it [.. courtesy my electricity :|] but all that u say is understandable.. n i kinda get it now!
i mean, last night was jus wierd.. like Ahmed says below - 'everything happens for a reason'.. everything does happen for a reason.. we might not be able to understand it at first, but there is always a reason.. a purpose, just like u said! i'm jus waiting to understand the purpose behind some of the stuff happening..
Ahmed.. i remember that sher, lol.. u n ur shayeri! :p
u are soo right when u say we didnt come into this world on our own, we were sent here.. n it is He - the one who sent is, who knows the reason/behind behind everything..
watever happens is for our betterment right?! we'v both talked about that quite a bit earlier!! i was jus all low n down last night when i wrote this.. im better abhi! thnx for coming n for the community offer :)
Wah bhai wah!! Hum do minute idhar udhar kya gayee aapke toh comment count increased by 100%
Really good post, waise. Very thought provoking but I would suggest the name of this post as "Purpose of life" but on second thoughts, some posts do not need any name...
lol, godfather jee :p this one's fine without a title i think.. it cant be properly titled (is there such a word? :p)
hey
actually thr was a sher which suits here so posting it
Kitni masoom kitni shook lakin beewafa
main nay poocha koon woh ghabra k boli zindagi
yep, u definately write dil se Silky Moon!
