We never know, of course, when our chances will cease. I have just seen the CCTV footage showing the moment when a car driven by a drunken driver sped through red lights at a junction and ploughed into the car in which my brother-in-law was travelling the Sunday before last. The speeding car hit the rear passenger door and killed my brother-in-law’s best friend, who happened to have swapped sides with him on this one occaison. Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we return.

  2. allaah….may he forgive him and us. Sad thing is that our hearts are dead and such reminders only scare us for just a while (well at least in my case), and then we return to our headlessnes
    :(
