His Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, woke up to the fact and then began to cry and beg, when Sayyiduna ‘Izra`eel عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام came to him with the message of death, though this person had been committing many different types of sins before. Since Sayyiduna ‘Izra`eel عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام had arrived, he had no other choice as at that time the angel of death does not give respite to anyone.

سب کو مرنا ہی پڑیگا یاد رکّھو بھائیو!

دیر میں جائیگا کوئی، کوئی چل دے گا سَویر

(Wasail-e-Bakhshish, pp. 234)

One day we have to die because death is unavoidable

Dear Islamic brothers! Indeed, the day and night are two vehicles in which we enter one after another. These vehicles, without any stops, continue their journey that will end at the destination of death. Have we ever thought why we are so happy when the day and night pass, though a day or night of our life has actually decreased, bringing us closer to death! We are like a bulb whose entire energy and light are hidden in one plastic button; a light press of the button puts out that bulb, similarly when death arrives, our healthy body becomes so powerless that we cannot willingly move even our hands. Although it is fixed that one day we have to die, we do not know how much time is left for our death?

Perhaps today will be the last day of our life or maybe tonight will be our last night or rather we are not even sure whether we will be able to take another breath or not. It is quite possible that the breath we are taking right now will be our last and we may not take the next breath! Perhaps while listening to this Bayan, Sayyiduna Malak-ul-Maut عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام may seize our soul! It is commonly heard that so-and-so was healthy and apparently had no disease, but suddenly died of heart failure within a few minutes. In the same way, at any moment, we may have to depart this life because the night we have to spend in the grave cannot be spent in the world.
