SubhanAllaah! Life have a funny way if giving reality checks. Two days ago my nephew whos younger than me was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and given a max of two years to live. All before then I was withholding get married until I finished school and in shaa Allaah prepared myself to make hijra from here. However, now that this has happened I cant stop thinking about death, especially with knowing that tomorrow is not promised to either of us and theres a chance that I may not even make it to fajr! This has also helped me to realize that I my withholding from marriage is not only incorrect, its selfish as I am denying myself the beauty and fulfillment of such a commitment. Abdullaah Ibn Mas’ood (radiAllaahu taala anhu) said: “If I had ten days left to live, and I knew I would die by the end of them, and I had enough time to get married, I would get married for fear of temptation (fitnah).” [Sa’eed Ibn Mansoor, Al-Sunan, #493] Wallaah this narration has taken on a much deeper meaning for me, by no means is this an advertisement or a campaign for a wife as there is no sense of urgency in my getting married. Its merely an advise for brothers who may have thought and planned the same as I did to not procrastinate in our religious and worldly obligations. Rather, cease the moment and take full advantage of every opportunity to may be of benefit to you before our souls are snatched from our bodies. Please keep me and my family in your duas in shaa Allaah. JazakAllaahu khayran.
