Allah says: (Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion.)

Death is a fact. Everyone believes in death even the non-Musims believe in death.

None believe that he will live forever; however, our belief is incomplete.

We believe that the death will come to every one of this world, however, it will not come to us, it will come to me, to my son, to my daughter, to my wife, to my friend.

No death will not come to anyone beloved to me.

However, Allah, out of his mercy, gives us every now and then a reminder that death is a fact. Allah says: (wherever you are, death will find you out, even if you are in towers built up strong and high)

No escape from death, even if you are in the most secure place in this world.

One week ago, we has a super reminder, one of our beloved brothers was killed.

In one second, his life was terminated.

He had no options, he was not able to expand his life for just one day, one hour, or even one second.

Allah says: (to every people is a term appointed, when their term is reached, they can delay it an hour and they can not advance)

Our brother was killed while he was healthy, wealthy and young. Death will pick up everyone. The healthy and sick, the old and young, the poor and rich, the weak and the powerful, the man and woman.

No exceptions, if there was an exception, it would be for the prophet Muhammad, however, he died. Allah talked to him in the Quran saying: (we never granted to any man before you permanent life. If then you should die, would they live permanently)

Muhammad, the best creation, died, so none whatever he is will escape death.

Our brother was killed while he has a lot of dreams and a lot of plans. However, he had no enough time to fulfill what he wanted.

He has daughter and son, he wanted to see them growing up, he wanted to educate them, he wanted to play with them, he wanted to live till he remains them and even to see their children.

He wanted to fulfill all their needs, however, there was no time. Allah says: (And the stupor of death comes with the Truth; that is what you were averting.)

Our brother was killed while he has some wealth, while he was planning to increase his wealth, to satisfy the needs of his family, and to secure their future.

However, he was killed suddenly and left everything. And what he was working hard for it, divided between the others, he took nothing with him.

If they put all his wealth with him, what it can do for him?

Our brother was killed while he has a big family and friends, however none went with him to the grave to help him answering the questions of angels. None is capable to do that except his deeds and we ask Allah to make his good deeds a protection for him from fire.

The prophet says: (there are three things follow a dead person; members of his family, his belongings, and his family; the first two come back, and the third remains with him)

Our brother was killed and he will never be back again in this life.

To advise his family, the last advise, or to tell them about his belongings and his debts, or to describe for us the character of death and how it is difficult, or even to describe to us his killer to be punished for his inhuman crime, however, this was impossible, this is the challenge of Allah who says: (Then why do you not intervene, when the soul of the dying man reaches the throat. And you at that time looking on. But we are nearer to him than you, but you do not see. Then why do you not if you are exempted from future account. Why you do not call the soul back if you are true in your claim of independence)

This is the most advanced country in medicine and in inventions; Allah challenges this country and every country in any time before or next. Allah challenges every physician and every hospital whatever their certificates are. Allah challenges all mankind and all the jinn to return just one soul to the life after death.

By Allah, if all mankind and jinn gathered together to return just one soul to the life after death, they will never be able to do so.

Our brother was killed, and he may wanted to die in a place other than this place, he may wanted to die in Pakistan, Makkah or Madinah, however, he had no chance to choose, Allah says: (none knows in what land he is to die)

Our brother was killed and he did not know his killer, why he killed him, why he terminated his life in this catastrophic way.

The killer himself does not know our brother; he may saw him for the first time, and however, he was evil enough to kill him.

The killer was not hesitating to terminate the happiness in a family for just few dollars.

Brother, this is one sign of the signs warning us that the Day of Judgment is approaching.

The Prophet says: (A time will come when the murderer will not know why he has committed the murder, and the victim will not know why he has been killed)

At another Hadith, the prophet was mentioning some signs of the last day, he said: bloodshed will happen frequently.

Our brother, the killing of our brother is a super reminder. Who will be reminded? Allah says: (And remind; for reminding benefits the believers)

Remember brothers; the only protector after Allah is your good deeds.

Dear brothers, our killed brother used to pray in congregation he was beloved to others, he had good manners and he was so polite.

Moreover, he died in a way that may be considered as martyrdom (he who was killed defending his belongings is a martyr)

We ask Allah to widen his grave and to make his grave a garden from the gardens of paradise and to help him answer the questions of angels.

We ask Allah for him and for us the paradise and to save us from hellfire.
