The Teachings of Islam
When Death Comes
~ 18 ~
A person who, in the world finds many kinds of
support, will suddenly find that there is nothing left
to rely on. Friends, a source of constant comfort and
pleasure in this world, will have deserted him. His
own family, for whom he had been willing to
sacrifice anything, will have become alien to him.
Material resources, on which he depended entirely,
will be of no use. Matters one ignored as trivialities
will suddenly loom before one in a form more solid
than iron or rock. There will not be a single prop on
which one can lean.
