So this time, it is the last chapter of Riyadhus Salihin. He talked about how we will be resurrected on the Day of Judgement the way we die. He was actually talking on how a person should fill his day with good deeds when death is coming. And as we know, nobody knows when they are about to die. So, he suggested that we always, always make time to do good deeds & focus what we are good at. Not everyone can get up in the middle of the night everyday to perform Tahajud, if you are good at giving sadaqah, you should continue doing it, same goes to if you are good at serving humanity and the list goes on.
As I was listening to him, I cannot help but think of how I wanted to die. We all want Husnul Khatimah. I was listing down, die fasting/ die with wudhu/ die while performing hajj and so on.
Another point, he was talking on how we should really really serve our parents. This one is quite close to my heart, since I always wanted to make sure my dad has a good meal and not eating sardin or maggie when I am not around obviously because I am living in college, which is why I always make my time to go back home on weekend *only one of the reason*. He said, when we do good deeds to our parents, life will offer us so many thing.... Subhanallah it really does. I believe that many things that I had now are all because of my parents and their prayer. I always chose my parents above everything, if I got exam tomorrow but my father wanted to have meal with me tonight, I will go to him.
& lastly..... he mentioned about, one thing that we can do.. and always be.. which is, the student of knowledge. He said again, this ummah is in need of good Ulama'. & how Allah mentioned in the Quran, if Allah wants good for someone, he will give him understanding of this deen. and we all know, understanding only comes with studying. & he said, even this so called 'secular' knowledge, we should master it.
Taking that into mind, I could at least, die as a student of knowledge.
