It is Allah Who created you in a state of (helpless) weak-

             ness, then gave (you) strength after weakness, then, after
             strength, gave (you) weakness and a hoary head: He cre-
             ates as He wills, and it is He who has all knowledge and
                             power. (Surat ar-Rum: 54)



              Say: "Running away will not profit you if you are running away from death
              or slaughter; and even if (you do escape), no more than a brief (respite) will
              you be allowed to enjoy!"(Surat al-Ahzab: 16)
             Man who is created alone should be aware that he will also die alone.
          Yet during his life, he lives almost addicted to possessions. His sole pur-
          pose in life becomes to possess more. Yet, no-one can take his goods with
          him to the grave. The body is buried wrapped in a shroud made from the
          cheapest of fabrics. The body comes into this world alone and departs
          from it in the same way. The only asset one can take with him when one
          dies is one's belief or disbelief.
