In this episode Nafisa reflects on a phrase her teacher said
“We need to learn to love death, It’s the beginning of the actual life”
For the believer one has to remember that death is the start of actual life!
The whole episode is filled with many reflections of how we view death, why we might view it the way we view it and maybe a better way to look at it!
* Notes to self:
For the believer one has to remember that death is the start of actual life!
So you have to get it right here , take with you the deeds that Allah will have mercy on you and grant you the best of the ACTUAL life
Sacrifice for Him swt and prepare for a life where the currency before you are given an eternal home is in the actions you took in this test of a life.
You will get what you strive for. So oh servant of her merciful lord, look at your life , look at your calendar, look at your habits , look at the day to day activities you take on in this test of a life, are you striving for a good eternal home or the opposite?
Are you filling your books with good actions or the opposite?
Will you be happy to start your actual life today? Your eternal life?
For a believer ( may Allah make us of them), an eternity of happiness, eternal peace, eternal love, eternal happiness, oh
Allahumma inna nas alukal jannah wa ma qarraba ilaiha min kawlin wa amal
Allah we ask you jannah and what brings us nearer to it of speech and actions
Wa na uthu bika minan naar wa qarraba ilaiha min qaulin wa amal
And we seek refuge in you from hell and what brings us nearer to it of speech and action

Verse from surah an najm that gives her a reality check
وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ ٣٩
And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives 39
