Pain of Losing a Beloved

By: Shazia Yousuf
 

Pain of losing a loved one cannot heal, it never can. You must try to bury it with the deceased; but both continue to live on in your heart, they never die. The pain and sorrow of the loss stay fresh as a new wound, but time teaches you to move on in life with the burden of sorrow buried within.

Pain at times is good; it lets you realise the pain of others. It gives your life a direction, a meaning - to add meaning to others' lives, to be a source of relieving sorrows with any kind deed, words of encouragement, a listeneing ear, or a simple smile.

So whenever your heart aches in rememberance of a beloved, go out and heal others.
 

Death Teaches Us

From the diary of my late father Muhammad Haris

Death tells us not to waste time.

It tells us to love each other from the depth of our hearts.

It gives us a message that we have to be accounted for our own deeds to the Divine being.

It is a benefit for all mankind.

It is the only thing that will survive in the future.

It is the path to eternity.

It is the mode of completion.

It is the moment of ultimate joy for an upright man to meet The Almighty.
