One Way ticket to the Underground
(Written by Mohamed Chetty)
First written in French in 1989
When we are leaving this world for the next one, it shall be like a trip to another country.
Where details of that country won’t be found in glamourous travel brochures but in the Holy Qur’aan and the Ahadith.
Where our plane won’t be British Airways, Gulf Air or American Airlines but Air Janazah.
Where our luggage won’t be the allowed 23 kgs but our deeds no matter how heavy they weigh.
You don’t pay for excess luggage.
They are carried free of charge. With your Creator’s compliment.
Where our dress won’t be a Pierre Cardin suit or the like but the white cotton shroud
Where our perfume won’t be Chanel, Paco Rabane, but the camphor and attar.
Where our passports won’t be British, French or American but Al Islam
Where our visa won’t be the 6 months leave to stay or else but the "La Illaha Illallah.."
Where the airhostess won’t be gorgeous females but Isra’iil and its like.
Where the in-flight services won’t be 1st class or economy but a piece of beautifully scented or foul smelling cloth.
Where our place of destination won’t be Heathrow Terminal 1 or Jeddah International Terminal but the Qabarastaan.
Where our waiting lounge won’t be nice carpeted and air-conditioned rooms but the 6 feet deep gloomy Qabar.
Where the Immigration Officer won’t be Her Majesty’s officers but Munkir and Nakir.
They only check out whether you deserve the place you yearn to go.
Where there is no need for Customs Officers or detectors.
Where the transit airport will be Al Barzaakh.
Where our final place of destination will be either the Garden under which rivers flow or the Hell Fire.
This trip does not come with a price tag. It is free of charge. So your savings would not come handy.
This flight can never be hijacked so do not worry about terrorists.
Food won’t be served on this flight so do not worry about your allergies or whether the food is Halal.
Do not worry about legroom; you won’t need it, as your legs will become things of the past.
Do not worry about delays. This flight is always punctual. It arrives and leaves on time.
Do not worry about the in-flight entertainment programme because you would have lost all your sense of joy.
Do not worry about booking this trip, it has already been booked the day you became a foetus in your mother’s womb.
Ah! Atlast good news! Do not worry about who will be sitting next to you.
You will have the luxury of being the only passenger.
So enjoy it while you can. If only you can!
One small snag though, this trip comes with no warning. Are you prepared ?
************************
Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar(R.A.) reported that someone asked the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) who was the wisest. The Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said that, the one who remembers death often and is ever engaged in making preperation for it. These are the men who have become masters of the honour of this world and the next. (Tibraani)
Hazrat Bara' bin Azib says that he attended a funeral along with the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam), who sat near the grave and wept so bitterly that the earth became wet with his tears. Then he addressed us saying : " O Bretheren, make preperation for this day." (Ibn Majah)
