Because my Muslim brothers will do all that is necessary, such as:

They will remove my clothes…**  
- **Give me a ritual bath (ghusl)…**  
- **Wrap me in a shroud…**  
- **Take me out of my home…**  
- **And carry me to my new abode (the grave)…**  
- **Many will attend my funeral prayer…**  
- **Some might even cancel their appointments and meetings just to attend my burial…**  

**These will be people, many of whom likely never paid heed to my advice during my life.**  

**Then, my belongings will be disposed of…**  
- **My keys…**  
- **My books…**  
- **My bag…**  
- **My shoes…**  
- **My clothes…**  

**And if my family is righteous, they will donate these as charity so it may benefit me.**  

**Rest assured, the world will not mourn me…**  
- **The world’s systems will not halt…**  
- **The economy will keep moving…**  
- **Someone else will take my job…**  
- **My wealth will transfer to my heirs…**  

**Yet, I will be held accountable for all of it!**  
- **For the little…**  
- **For the much…**  
- **For every atom’s worth…**  

**And the first thing taken from me at death will be my name!**  
**When I die, people will ask: “Where is the funeral?”**  
**But they will not call my name!**  
**When they pray my funeral prayer, they will say: “Bring the deceased!”**  
**But they will not call my name!**  
**When they bury me, they will say: “Move the body closer!”**  
**But they will not call my name!**  

**Thus, I must take no pride in my lineage, nationality, status, or fame!**  
**How insignificant this world is…**  
**And how profound the reality we are moving toward!**  

**So, O living soul! Know that three types of grief will follow you:**  
1. **Those who barely knew you will say: “Poor soul!”**  
2. **Your friends will mourn for hours or days, then return to their talks and laughter.**  
3. **Deep sorrow will linger in your household—lasting a week, two weeks, a month, two months, or a year…**  

**Then, you will be confined to the corners of memory!**  
**Your story for the world will end…**  
**And your true story will begin…**  

**You will lose:**  
- **Beauty…**  
- **Wealth…**  
- **Health…**  
- **Children…**  

**You will leave behind homes, palaces, and spouses…**  
**Only your deeds will accompany you!**  
**And this marks the start of your real existence!**  

**The question is:**  
**What have you prepared today for your grave and the Hereafter?**  
**This reality demands reflection…**  

**Therefore…**  
- **Guard your obligatory prayers…**  
- **Perform voluntary acts of worship…**  
- **Give charity in secret…**  
- **Do good deeds…**  
- **Pray at night…**  

     So that you may be saved.

   If you conveyed this message to others while alive, you will reap its rewards on Judgment Day, insha’Allah!**  

“And keep reminding, for surely reminders benefit the believers.” (Quran 51:55).
